——]f a woman's devotion to a man in
desperate straits, making a pure love
story of unusual heart interest, as shown

season. At Garman's April 14th,
——The Woman's Exchange under the
supervision of Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. J.

—Three big feature films and Pathe's
weekly constituted part of the program
at the Scenic this week, and this offering
will be continued right along, according
to manager T. Clayton Brown. He be-
lieves in giving his patrons an abundance
for their money and to this end will give
at least three features a week. This,
with his regular film service, makes up a
program that will be hard to beat. The
one good thing about it all is there will
be no advance in price.
A New and Greater Academy.
After one hundred and six years of
continuous educational service in this
community the Bellefonte Academy is
passing through a crisis. Not one that
will leave it abandoned and useless be-
fore the march of increasing efficiency in
the public school system, as has been the
case with so many of the old Academies
in the State, but one that will bring it
forth renewed, enlarged and financed for
years of future benefit.
Few people really know that the Acad-
emy belongs to the people of Centre
county. It does and at the time it was
started the State made a small appropri-
ation for it. The custody of the proper-
ty was then vested in a board of trustees
that was made self perpetuating. It
flourished and served a needed purpose
before the public school system was in-
augurated. And for years after that it
remained almost self-supporting, but as
the standard of the public schools was
raised there was a decreasing need for
the Academy for primary education and
when the local patronage fell off the in-
stitution became involved financially.
Without any endowment it was impossi-
ble to keep it in repair with the rental
that the principal was able to pay. Then
came the fire that practically destroyed
it and the rebuilding that necessitated a
mortgage of $10,000 on the property.
It is this mortgage that has brought
the crisis of today. The holder is about
to foreclose for back interest and as the
Trustees have been unable to raise either
the interest or the principal the property
will probably be sold. To whom?
The only persons who seem to have a
heart interest in the Academy and are
ready to risk their all to keep it the his-
toric property that it is are the Hughes.
Of course it is beyond the venerable prin-
cipal emeritus to do more than hope, but
the younger one, head-master James
Hughes, is determined that no effort on
his part shall be left unmade that might
save the old institution.
His enthusiasm and daring, it might
be called, are beyond the comprehension
of most people, but however that may be
they have called him to arms in the
greatest fight of his life. The Board of
Trustees having failed he has put him-
self in the breach and intends to save the
Academy, if those who can will only help
a little.
According to his plans he will buy the
property at the sheriff's sale and then en.
large and modernize it for the accommo-
dation of one hundred boarders, making
it one of the highest class, limited attend-
ance, boys preparatory schools in the
country. Aside from the fact that this
will make it a fine business proposition
for Bellefonte it will also make the Acad-
emy property a beauty spot in our com-
munity.
Mr. Hughes will add large wings to
either end of the main building, giving
him ample dormitory room, an assembly
hall that will seat three hundred and a
dining hall large enough for all his pu-
pils. This will do away with the neces-
sity of maintaining the fraternity house
on the hill and compass a great economy
by having all the students and instructors
on the campus.
The purchase of the Beezer property
on Spring street, fronting the Academy
grounds, will make it possible to tear
away all the intervening buildings and
grade the grounds clear down to that
thorofare.
Imagine for yourself what it will look
like when all this is done then make up
your mind to lend a hand to the man
who has undertaken it almost alone. It
will be his when completed, of course, but
yours for service, yours so far as the or-
namentation of your town and county is
concerned and yours for the shareof out-
side money it will put into local business.
We know of nothing that should ap-
peal stronger to those who are able and
those who have been students at the
Academy than this forward movement to
piace the historic old institution of the
past century on a firm foundation to go
on with its work through the next. If
you feel like giving anything send a check
to Rev. G. E. Hawes, treasurer, Belle-
fonte. Any amount will be acceptable
and the names of all donors, not stating
what they have given, will be perpetuat-
ed in a bronze tablet on the side of
the building.

BELLEFONTE CLOSED TIGHT ON SUNDAY.
—In conformance with the edict issued
last week by burgess John J. Bower every
place in Bellefonte so far as the writer
knows, except the various clubs, was
closed tight on Sunday and it was impos-
sible to buy a cigar, box of cigarettes
or even a stick of candy. Bellefonters
made no complaints as practically all of
them knew what to expect and laid in a
supply of whatever they wanted for over
Sunday on Saturday night, but it was a
little hard on the traveling men who
could not buy their accustomed cigar.
They looked as disconsolate as if they
had lost their job, and probably felt as
bad as they looked. That burgess Bow-
er's order will hurt the hotels is evidenc-
ed in the fact that several traveling men
on Sunday declared that never again
would they spend Sunday here, but would
make a town where they could buy a ci-
gar. Quite a number of people from
State College, students and others, as
well as people from the couatry, were
also much disappointed when asking for

FLACK —SHULTZ.— A quiet wedding
took place at the parsonage of the Unit-
ed Evangelical church on Monday when
Willis M. Flack and Miss Dorothy M.
Shultz, both of Milesburg, were united in
marriage by the pastor, Rev. A. F.
Weaver.
GRIFFIN—GROVE.—Elmer Griffin and
Miss Clara J. Grove, two well known
young people of Benore, came to Belle-
fonte last Saturday and were united in
marriage at the parsonage of the United
Evangelical church by the pastor, Rev.
A. F. Weaver.
—
RICHARDS—THOMAS.—Walter Richards,
of Bald Eagle, and Miss Lulu Thomas, of
Bellefonte, were united in marriage on
Monday morning at eleven o'clock by
justice of the peace W. B. Fickes, at his
office in Altoona. The same afternoon
the young couple left on a wedding trip
to Pittsburgh and the western part of the
State.
—
KERSTETTER—HANLEY.—A quiet wed-
ding took place at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. William Hanley, on south Spring
street, at eight o'clock last Saturday even-
ing, when their daughter,Miss Mary Han-
ley, was united in marriage to William
Kerstetter, of Bellefonte. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. C. W. Winey, of
the United Brethren church.
HAAG—MORRISON.—On Saturday of
last week Philip Haag and Miss Lulu
Morrison, two well known young people
of this place, went to Tyrone and at
eight o'clock that evening were united in
marriage in the First Presbyterian church
by Rev. Beiber. The only witnesses pres-
emt were Mr. and Mrs. John Morrison,
the former a brother of the bride. The
young couple spent Sunday in Tyrone
with Mrs. Haag'’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Morrison, returning to Belle-
fonte on Monday evening. For the pres-
ent they are staying with Mr. and Mrs.
Ralph Haag, of south Penn street.
HART—COBLE.—A wedding in which
many Bellefonte people will be interested
was that at 8.30 o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing of Samuel W. Hart, a son of Mrs.
William Hart, of this place, and Miss Pa-
melia D. Coble, of Brooklyn, the ceremo-
ny taking place at the home of the bride
near Prospect park. A large reception
followed the ceremony. The bride isa
highly accomplished young lady, having
been educated in Europe. Mr. Hart holds
a responsible position with the National
Cloak company. After April 10th they
will be at home at the Hotel St. George,
51 Clark street, Brooklyn. Miss Bessie
Hart, a sister of the bridegroom, attend-
ed the wedding. i
— Just as he was convalescing from
an attack of pneumonia Harry Weaver,
of Romola, contracted smallpox, accord-
ing to the diagnosis of Dr. George H.
Tibbens, of Beech Creek. While the case
is not a severe one there is considerable
speculation as to how Weaver contracted
it. He had not been in contact with any
person thus afflicted, nor had he been in
any infected locality. Six years or more
ago, however, there was a case of the
disease in the house and it is the belief
that the building at that time was not
thoroughly fumigated and that some of
the germs still existed. Weaver's home
has been quarantined and every effort
will be made to prevent the spread of
the disease.
—*“A Slave Girl of New York.” which
will be presented by the United Amuse-
ment Co., at Garman's opera house, next
Tuesday evening, is a comedy drama,
telling a story in four acts, of a girl who
through innocence trusts a man of the
underworld of New York. The trials
and tribulations this girl experienced
should be witnessed as a lesson to all
who think of embarking for New York,
or have ever dreamed of it. The story!
is so startling in it's exposures of the un-
derworld’s secrets that it is sensational.
Never before, upon any stage, has such a
complete story of the thieves and dogs of
the underworld been exposed as in “A
Slave Girl of New York.” Prices 25, 35,
50 and 75 cents.
ANOTHER STATE ROAD PROPOSED.—
Our Huntingdon friends are now working
up a movement to secure a State road to
start at Route No. 55, near the State Re-
formatory, come up Shaver’s creek to the
old Monroe Furnace where it will cross
the mountain to Pine Grove Mills and
from thence connect at State College
with the route to the State penitentiary
and Bellefonte, making the most direct
and feasible route from this place to
Huntingdon, as well as connect, in the
shortest way, these three great State in-
stitutions, Our peopie should lend
whatever aid they can to the project. It
would be a great accommodation to the
people of the western end of this county
and the eastern end of Huntingdon and a
connecting link between southern Penn-
sylvania and the Susquehanna valley,
making it one of the most important
roads in the State.

directors elected the tollowing officers: |
President, J. Linn Harris; vice president,
C. T. Fryberger; treasurer, Budd Thomp- |
son; secretary and forester, J. A. Hoff-
man. {
The list of membership represents own- |
ership of approximately one hundred and
fifty thousand acres of land in northern
Centre county, including almost the
entire Allegh ny slope and located in the |
townships of .ush, Burnside, Snow Shoe,
Taylor, Worth, Huston, Union, Boggs,
Howard, Curtin and Liberty. Under the
fire warden’s act passed by the Legisla-
ture in 1911, $36,000 was appropriated to |
pay fire wardens for the protection of the
timber lands of the State. The provisions
of the Act stipulate that three fire war-
dens can be employed in each township
at a salary of twenty-five dollars per
month. Through the efforts of J. Linn
Harris, a member of the State Forestry
Commission, the association just or-
ganized will be able to take advantage
of the above Act and can place three fire |
wardens in each of the eleven townships
during the months of April and May, as
the appropriation only holds good until
the first of June. Efforts, however, are
being made to get a bill through the
present Legislature to provide funds for
a continuation of the work. |
In addition to the State appropriation
each member of the association has
agreed to an assessment of one-half
cent per acre upon the land they own,
which would mean about $750 for the
pay of the forester and other expenses
until a permanent fund or income can be
secured. From the unusual interest
manifested in the organization of the
association there is every reason to be- |

BELLEFONTE PEOPLE ANXIOUS.—The
awful destruction of human life and prop-
erty by a cyclone in Nebraska and floods
in Ohio and Indiana naturally is attract.
ing the attention of the whole world just
now, and Bellefonte people have a great-
er feeling of anxiety over the condition in
Dayton, Ohio, because of the fact that a
number of former Bellefonters live there.
Among them are Col. C. G. McMillen,
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Dix, Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Cole and family, Mrs. Cole being
a daughter of Mrs. Henry Robb, of Bish-
op street, as well as a number of others.
So far no word has been received from
any of the above, and naturally their
friends are very anxious.
