Or why any farmer who is loaded down now with local taxes,— school, poor and road,—should be oppos- ed to having the cost of maintaining their principal thoroughfares paid by the State, is a mystery to us. Under the sproul bill, which was enacted two years ago, the following roads within the coun- ty, were taken over by the State and are now kept up at State expense—. From Bellefonte to Philipsburg by way of Snow Shoe and the Moshannon. From Bellefonte to Philipsburg by way of Port Matilda and Flat Rock. From Bellefonte to Philipsburg by way of Bald Eagle Furnace and Sandy Ridge. From Bellefonte to Lock Haven by way of Milesburg and Howard. From Bellefonte to Lock Haven by wav of Zion and Hublersburg. From Bellefonte to Tyrone by way of Union- ville and Port Matilda. From Bellefonte to Lewistown by way of Cen- ter Hall and Potters Bank. From Bellefonte to State College by way of Lemont on west to the Huntingdon county line. From Old Fort down through Pennsvalley to the Union county line. And if the measure now before the Leg- islature,~known as the Jones Act.—be- comes a law, it will add to these already designated and accepted State high-ways, which are now, and must forever here- after be maintained at the expense of the State, the following: From Bellefonte. by way of Filmore and Stormstown to Warriors Mark and Tyrone. From Center Hall through Brush valley to the Union county line. From Potters Mills by way of the Loop, to Boalsburg and State College. From Boalsburg or Lemont, by way of Pine Grove Mills, to the Huntingdon county line near Monroe Furnace, where it joins with a state road down Shaver’s creek to Huntingdon. When we remember that these roads are to be strictly State highways—built and paid for by the State, and are to be maintained and kept inf repair by the State, it is very difficult to imagine why any tax-payer, living in any township through which they pass, should be op- possed to the building of them. It is simply the State, relieving the township of the cost of keeping these highways up, and thus allowing them to reduce their millage for road purposes or to expend whatever road taxes they may levy upon the other public roads within these, and which are not scheduled as state roads. Under the above acts every township in the county except Marion, Curtin and Burnside, will have the benefit of having their main highways maintained at the expense of the State, and these will be benefitted by the fact that they will not be taxed for bridges along these state roads that otherwise they would have to help keep up as county bridges. Surely he must be a wonderfully blind tax-payer who cannot see where his in- terest lies in this matter. —You couldn't find a lobbyist in Harrisburg with a ten-thousand candle- power searchlight while an investigation is on but when the Resident Hunter's license bill was pending they were as thick in the corridors, according to rumor, “as leaves in Valambrosia.” —United States District Attorney McNaB,of California, ought to have learn- ed something from the experience of Ambassador WILSON, of Mexico, but he Brower, whodied at her home in Benner township on Wednesday of last week, took place at the Brower home Saturday morning, the services being in charge of the Rev. Ezra Yocum, pastor of the Bellefonte Methodist Episcopal church, assisted by the Rev. C. C. Shuey, who had been a personal friend of Mrs. Brower for many years. Interment was made in Union cemetery. Mrs. Brower, whose maiden name was Nancy Glenn, was born May 21st, 1840, in Moss Side, County Antrim, Province of Ulster, Ireland, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. James Thompson Glenn. Her father came to America before her birth and died here, Mrs. Brower never having seen him. She was brought to America by her mother in 1848 and in 1874 was united in marriage to John Martin Brow- er. who survives her. Mrs. Margaret Glenn, Hugh Glenn and Robert Glenn, her sister and brothers, preceded her to the grave, but one sister, Mrs. Jane C. Brown, of Howard street, remains of the Glenn family. In addition she leaves the following great-nephews and nieces: Harry Ulmer Tibbens, of Wheeling, W. Va., who attended the funeral; George Neb; and Mrs. Margaret Farber, of Fort Worth, Texas. Mrs. Brower was a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church, having united with the Filmore congregation in or about the year 1853. | I HALL.—Mrs Mary Tucker Hall, wife of John David Hall, died quite suddenly at her home in York on Wednesday morning, following a surgical operation last Wednesday.

Tucker, of Lock Haven, and was 47 years old last January. Mr. and Mrs. Hall came to Bellefonte about twenty years ago, when Mr. Hall became Pennsylvania, when it was opened through to Mill Hall.

Her daughter was following in another car and the unfortunate woman was picked up and placed in the automobile ! to be taken to a hospital but she died on the way. Ralph Cumings was also thrown but not severely hurt. Mrs. Cumings was quite well known by a few Bellefonte people as well as throughout the State because of her posi- tion as State Regent of the D. A. R. She was a woman of exceptional ability and fine attainments and her untimely death is deeply lamented in all D. A. R. Chap- ters. The Pennsylvania Daughters of the America Revolution have met with a sad loss in the tragic death of their State Regent, Mrs. Henry H. Cumings, of Tidicute. She was an untiring worker, and ambitious to place the state organi- zation upon the highest standard of per- fection; a worthy aim and one to meet with success if she had lived to direct her plans. The responsibility of carrying on the . | state work rests upon Miss Helen E. C. Overton and the splendid corps of state officers, all of whom were faithful sup- porters of Mrs. Cumings’ plans. The Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R. sent a telegram and flowers to express sym- pathy for the bereaved family and Penna. Daughters.

The ** Watchman" will in no be their ideas or state real name of ihe author must accom Suffregttes and Votes for Women. Editor Watchman: The woman's move- ment is just now moving at an amaz- ingly rapid pace, especially in England. By reference to the sacred record we safely reach some wise conclusions appli- cable to the cause that no one can gain- say, and from which there is no appeal. The word “Man” everywhere in Scrip- ture bears the significance beyond all else except Divinity. This word occurs more than three thousand times, while the words “woman” and “women” are given less than 400 times in the sacred volume. From the beginning to the end of the Bi- ble, the word “Man” represents the en- tire family, so the words “woman” and “wife” are comparatively seldom mention- ed. E.G, “Manis born unto trouble,” Prov.5:7; so is woman “born unto trou- ble,” but the Book does not say so, it be- ing unnecessary. There is always a wise and safe procedure heeding the plain apostolic teachings on this and every other important subject. See Ephesians, 5th chapter. “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord.” 22nd verse. “The husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church.” 23rd verse. “Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.” 24th verse. “Nevertheless, let every one of you in | particular, so love his wife, even as him- self; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.” 33rd verse. It goes without the saying that not a few most faithfully good housekeeping women favor universal suffrage, and the reasons they give should receive our thoughtful consideration. It is also safe to say that the majority of our best wom- en, devotedly faithful wives and mothers, prefer and love to give undivided atten- tion to their duties at home within the family circle, where they reign supreme. For all practical intent, their wise pref: erence is seen in a conformity to the teachings of the word of God. Bethlehem, Pa. MISSIONER. THE CHAUTAUQUA.
