| BELLEFONTE ACADEMY ATHLETIC Bax- |
| QUET.—The Bellefonte Academy was very
| much in the limelight the latter part of
| last week. On Friday evening the basket
| ball team defeated the University of
| Pittsburgh team, in the Y. M. C. A. gym-
nasium, by the score of 35 to 30 and on
| Saturday evening turned the tableson the
Pittsburgh Collegians by defeating them
54 to 19, thus evening up for the defeats
| suffered by the Academy team on its
western trip.
On Friday evening headmaster James
' R. Hughes gave his annual athletic ban”
quet at the Bush house, and those who
| were present voted it the best of the kind
ever given. The dining room was dec-
_orated by the Academy students and the
fifteen new athletic blankets were hung
| as panels between the doors and windows
' while there was a great profusion of
Academy colors and pennants. As extra
| decorations on the tables Mrs. Daggett
| furnished daffodils and greens and a
| miniature Washington hatchet. Smith's
| orchestra furnished the music and the
| menu was quite elaborate.
| Just seventy-five people gathered
| around the tables, including in addition |
| to the Academy contingent the nine mem-
"bers of the University of Pittsburgh
| basket ball team, who were guests of
' honor, and a dozen or more guests from
| Bellefonte. When the inner man had

1st, at eight o'clock.
——Chester Allen, an assistant in the
Engineering Department of State Col-
lege, is in the Bellefonte hospital, con-
valescing from an operation for ap-
pendicitis. Mrs. Allen, Mr. Allen's
mother, whose home is in Boston, has
been at the Bush house since the begin-
ning of her son’s illness, in order that
she might spend as much time as possi-
ble with him at the hospital.
——On Tuesday Representative C. L.
Gramley introduced a bill in the Legis-
lature appropriating five thousand dol-
lars to Boyd A. Hunter, as damages for
the loss of his son, Robert C. Hunter, |
who was killed at Nittany Furnace on
November 2nd, 1912, by the premature
explosion of a blast while engaged in dig-
ging slag for use on the state road work
between Milesburg and Snow Shoe In-
tersection.
——Rev. George E. Hawes on Sunday
announced to his congregation in the
Presbyterian church that he would not
consider the request of the Bellevue
Presbyterian church of Pittsburgh to be-
come a candidate for the vacant pas-
torate there, but would remain in Belle-
fonte. A congregational meeting was
held on Wednesday evening and Dr.
Hawes was voted an increase in salary
from $2,000 to $2,500.
——QOn Monday James Curtin received
a letter from his son Frank, located in
San Bernardino, California, written last
week, in which he said the ground was
covered with snow for the first time in a
number of years, and the weather was
unusually cold for that climate. It was
the week of their orange show but the
aveather was so cold that the exhibition
‘was poorly attended. He also stated that
orange growers last year suffeerd a fifty
million dollar loss by the severe frosts a
year ago, as the crop was badly ruined.
——William Raymond Dale, a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dale, of Pine Grove
Mills, was brought to Bellefonte Wednes-
day by his grandfather, W. H. Fry, and
entered asa patient at the hospital, where
his appendix was removed Thursday.
The boy was in good health, but on ac-
count of repeated attacks of appendicitis
the operation was deemed advisable. On
account of his health and a vigorous con-
stitution his condition tollowing the oper-
ation is such that a very speedy recovery
is looked for by his physicians.
——Among those continuing to enter-
tain during the Lenten season are Miss
Myra Humes, who gave a flinch party
Thursday night of last week. Mrs. Harry
Yeager the same evening, entertained
the third of a series of parties she has
been giving. Mrs. G. Ross Parker's chil-
dren's party Saturday afternoon was in
celebration of her daughter, Mary Char-
Jotte’s birthday, and Mrs. G. M. Gamble’s
second of her series, was a thimble party
from three until six the same afternoon.
The Misses Dorworth entertained with
cards Monday night.
Col. Taylor's talk on “Courage” was loud-
ly applauded as was the talk of Dr.
Hawes.
The most interesting speech of the
evening, however, was that of Gilbert
Myers, of Pittsburgh, not alone because
of the popuiarity of the speaker but be-
cause of the significance of his words,
He spoke for twenty minutes on “There's
Something Doing,” and in that earnest,
easy, fluent manner of his he presented
a thought to Academy students that pos-
sibly none of them had ever dreamed of
before. He showed them how readily
they could, among themselves, raise at
least $4,000 for the Forward Movement
of the Academy. And so convincing was
his argument that we understand that
the Academy boys have started to work
it out. Gilbert is chairman of the Alumni
committee of the Academy that is already
at work and meeting with unexpected
success in the Forward Movement. He |
has gone into it heart and soul, and
while he has been out of the Academy
only two years he impresses one with the
thought that he is building well on the
foundation that was laid here. As an
after dinner speaker he was a revela-
tion, in fact his poise and cleverly present
ed arguments reminded us very much of
the forensic accomplishments of his dis-
tinguished father, the Congressman.
EX-SHERIFFS BANQUET. — Just thirteen
ex-sheriffs and ex-deputy sheriffs attended
their third annual banquet at the Country
club last Saturday evening, but none of
them were alarmed at the hoodoo num-
ber because there was one newspaper
man present who made fourteen. They
went down on the 2.40 p. m. train and at
a short business meeting the old officers
were re-elected for the ensuing year.
Benjamin Schaeffer, of Nittany, eighty-six
years old, was present and enjoyed the
gathering as much if not more than the
youngest man there. William Dukeman,
an ex-deputy, came over from Winburne,
Clearfield county, just to be present at
the gathering. The veteran ex-officers
of the peace passed the time reminiscing
of the days when they held the helm of
the Centre county ship of fate until 5.30
o'clock when they were all summoned to
the dining room and served a most
appetizing turkey dinner. All Centre
county sheriffs are good feeders and the
way they made the good things disappear
at the dinner table showed that none of
them had lost their cunning in this re-
spect. Following the repast D. W. Wood-
ring, president of the association and the
oldest man in point of service presided as
toastmaster and many hair-raising ex-
were related by the various
members, until it was time to take their
departure for the station in order to
reach home on the 9.40 p. m. train.

—Dr. Evan Shortlidge died at his |
home at Wilmington, Del, on Tuesday
afternoon. He had been in declining
health for a long time so that his death
was not altogether unexpected. Dr.
Shortlidge was a brother of the late Col.
William Shortlidge, of this place, and was
one of Delaware's foremost physicians.
Not only in his profession was he a
leader, but in many movements for the
betterment of civic and social conditions

ruary first without a cent and he must
neither beg nor steal while on his jour-
ney. He has until the 14th of August to
complete the trip. Albee carries a pack
on his back in which is a blanket and
what few personal belongings he may
need on the trip. Between Elmira and
Williamsport he suffered a sprained ankle
which laid him up two weeks but as it is
he is hopeful of winning out. So far he
has fared very well in the matter of free
rations and lodging.

Undines quickly responded. In opening

The fire was extinguished in a few min-

KmLep With His OWN GUN.—John
Gibson McAfee, a son of Emory McAfee,
of Stormstown, met an untimely death at
Gary, Indiana, on Sunday. He and sev-
eral companions went out to one of the
lakes near Gary and placed a number of
decoys for wild duck shooting. They re-
turned to the shore and just after land-
ing a flock of crows passed over their
| heads. McAfee raised his gun to shoot
| at them and as he did so he slipped. He
threw the gun backwards, the hammer
struck a stone discharging the weapon
and the young man received the load of
shot in the back of his head, killing him
instantly.
Deceased was born at Stormstown and
was about twenty-eight years old. When
a young man he learned the trade of a
plasterer and for several years worked
in Tyrone. When Gary, Indiana, sprung
into prominence as a manufacturing
town a few years ago McAfee went out
there and engaged as a contractor in the
plastering and house finishing business,
and was one of the foremost in that line
of work in the city. He was a steady,
industrious young man and his unfortu-
nate death is deeply deplored by all who
knew him.
He was unmarried but is survived by
his father, Emory McAfee, a step-mother
and one brother, Hugh McAfee, all of
Stormstown. The remains were brought
east and taken to his father’s home in
Stormstown on Tuesday, where funeral
services were held at ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning by Rev. M. J. Run-
yan, of the Methodist church. Burial
was made in the Gray’s church cemetery.
BEARING ON THE NEW PENITENTIARY.—
Five bills were introduced in the Legis-
lature last week which will have consid-
erable bearing on the progress to be made
the next two years on the building of the
new penitentiary in Benner township.
One bill was for an appropriation of
$600,000 for the erection of new buildings.
Another was for the removal of any part
or parcel of the old penitentiary from
Allegheny to Centre county for use in the
erection and equipment of the new peni-
for running expenses of the old peniten-
tiary for the next two years. A fifth bill
was one authorizing the State Treasurer
to transfer to the Board of Prison In-
spector the sum of $375, being the amount
of insurance paid on the barn and hay
destroyed by fire last fall. The greatest
interest, of course, centres around the
first four named bills, as their passage by
the Legislature and approval by the Gov-
ernor is essential to continuing the work
on the new penitentiary on the scale
mapped out by the Board of Prison In-
spectors.
