'railroad in a special train on Tuesday During the first three days of the week and Wednesday of this week. everybody in Bellefonte is requested to make a general clean-up of their prem- ises.

Hughes entered the meeting on Monday evening passed a: Bellefonte hospital Tuesday where she resolution to join with the Civic com- | was operated Wednesday. Mrs. Hughes’ mittee of the Woman’s club and furnish condition at the present time is such as teams to haul away all such rubbish. So, to indicate a speedy recovery. there will be no excuse for any person not joining in the clean-up week. Eight members were present at the meeting on Monday evening, the absentee being president John S. Walker. Dr. J. M. Brockerhoff was chosen president pro tem and he filled the office in an ad- mirable manner. Hon. A. G. Morris was present and asked permission to put down a concrete crossing on Linn street from the house he formerly occupied to the one in which he now lives; said crossing to be so con- structed as to be no impediment to traffic on that thoroughfare. The matter was referred to the Street committee. Residents of east High and Wilson streets petitioned for a crossing on Wil- son street, leading from the south side of east High, and also a section of pavement on Wilson street. Referred to the Street committee for investigation and report. ~ The Water committee reported that new meters had been put on the Garman, Brant and Haag houses and on Sebring’s garage; and that other meters were being examined and repairs made where nec- essary. : The Finance committee asked for the renewal of a note for $1,000 dated April 17th, which was authorized. The Special committee reported that work had not been started on the repairs to the Phoenix mill pumping station be- cause of a possible change in the floor, etc., but no definite action had been taken by the committee and they had no recom- mendations to make. It was at this juncture in the proceed- ings that the Village Improvement com- mittee told of the action of the Civic committee of the Woman’s club for a clean-up week and their desire that coun- cil give them all the aid possible, which resulted in the resolution to haul away all refuse except ashes. Chairman Harris, of the Street com- mittee, reported that the petitions for state-aid highways on south Water and Bishop and Spring streets had been filed with the county commissioners and they had forwarded the same to the State Highway Department with their endorse- ment. Mr. Harris also stated that it was absolutely necessary to have a borough engineer, otherwise it would be impossi- ble under the law to compell any prop- erty holder to repair or build a new pave- ment. He recommended the election of Norman K. Wright, who was willing to do the work and charge by the hour only for the actual time employed. Mr. Wright was consequently elected. At the last meeting of council Mr. Shope stated that if council would grant him permission he would dig away the point of hill projecting into the street, adjoining his property on Thomas street, put up a nice retaining wall and build a pavement. The hill is on the property of the Thomas estate and borough solici- tor J. Thomas Mitchell, for the trustees, stated that they were perfectly willing for Mr. Shope to remove the hill, and council granted him permission to do so. Mr. Cherry complained of the stable at R. B. Taylor's coal yard on Thomas street as being a nuisance. He stated that both straw and manure were thrown in the street; that the street was made a storage place for several wagons and a large box, and that on Sunday morning the stable man turned the horses out on the street about six o'clock and raced them back and forth, cracking his whip and thereby disturbing the peace of the neighborhood. The “nuisance” was re- ferred to the Street committee for abate- ment. Mr. Naginey of the Fire and Police committee presented the request of the Logan fire company that council paper the hall of the public building. On motion the committee was instructed to have the work done. At this juncture Mr. Seibert brought up the subject of the repairs to the Phoe- nix mill and what looked like developing into another talking match was promptly nipped in the bud by acting president Brockerhoff when he told the members that he would permit no discussion of any question that was not brought before council in the proper manner. If any member had a motion to make he would hear it, but otherwise there would be no discussion: Nobody made a motion and the talk ended right there. Mr. Shope, of the Sanitary committee, reported that the lots in the rear of Thal’s store on High street were piled full of rubbish of all kinds, which was not only very unsightly but unsanitary. The Street committee was instructed to notify the property owners to clean up their premises. Mr. Naginey asked for a light on Cher- ry alley in the rear of Garman’s opera house. The matter was referred to the Street committee. No other business being brought before council bills to the amount of $413.88 were approved and council adjourned. ~———Mr. and Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell went to housekeeping this week in the Harper house on west Linn street. ——David Bartlet, Sr., has been housed | up this week nursing a sore ankle. He was moving some freight at the Penn- sylvania railroad freight depot last Satur- day morning when a box fell off of the truck striking him on the ankle and frac- turing the small bone. He was helped home and the fracture reduced but he has been compelled to keep pretty quiet since the accident. eae ——On Tuesday, May 5th, the school directors of the county will meet in con- vention in thecourt house, Bellefonte, for the purpose of electing a county superin- tendent of public schools to serve the ensuing term of four years. The only candidates now in the field are the pres- ent county superintendent, David O. Etters, of State College, and Prof. R. U. Wasson, of Coburn. The school directors will also fix the salary of the super- intendent. Oa mes ——The weather man very consider- ately gave us a touch of spring from Fri- day until Monday, Saturday being quite warm. Monday, however, brought a hard rain and then it blew up cold, al- most as if winter were still lingering in the lap of spring. Verily this is the most backward season experienced in this section in years. Only six more days and it will be the first of May, with practic- ally no spring farm work done and very little garden made. ——Make your arrangements now for clean-up-week, that nothing may interfere with your duty to Bellefonte, in freeing it of itsinsanitary and unsightly condi- tions. Beginning Monday morning, May 4th, put all rubbish" from the attic, the cellar, the back yard or anywhere it may have accumulated, on the street in front of your house, and it will be taken away by the collectors, when they begin their work Thursday morning. No ashes will be taken. ——On Wednesday of last week Levi H. Fullmer, a Civil war veteran seventy- seven years old, walked from Lewistown to Bellefonte, a distance of thirty-two miles, in eight hours and thirty minutes. When it is considered that Mr. Fullmer is almost an octogenarian, that the trip was over the Seven mountains and that it rained very hard all that day his feat is a rather remarkable one. His son, Jack Fullmer, who lives in Lewistown, offered to bring his father over the mountains in his automobile but the old gentleman merely smiled and said that he would “avail himself of that privilege as he grew older.” 2 wees ——Charles G. MacAvoy, superinten- dent of the Bellefonte Electric company for a number of years, left on Monday for Dansville, N. Y., where he has ac- cepted the position of superintendent of the Dansville Gas and Electric Light company, at a good increase of salary over what he got when in Bellefonte. Dansville is a town about the size of Bellefonte but the one com- pany controlling both the natural gas supply and the electric light and power makes it a very busy concern. Mr. Mac- Avoy made. good in Bellefonte and we commend him to the people of Dansville as a gentleman worthy of the utmost confidence. —— ——Almost six hundred Bellefonters took advantage. of the opportunity last Friday night to see “Quo Vadis” at the Scenic. There is no question but that this is the greatest motion picture staged and produced, © and conveys a good story of Nero's reign. But while this may be the greatest, there are other motion pictures that appeal very strongly for public favor, and the best of these will be shown at the Scenic from time to time. Manager T. Clayton Brown be- lieves that Bellefonters appreciate the best in everything, and he waats to be in the forefront in giving them the best in mov- ing pictures. Therefore keep in touch with the Scenic at all times or you’ll miss something. : ——A large audience greeted The Thespians, of State College, in their an- nual performance at Garman’s opera house last Saturday night. Their play this year, “The Innocents,” was probably the best they have produced since “Popo- catepettal II” a number of years ago. At that time most of the members in the cast and chorus were well known in Bellefonte, which probably accounted for the greater popularity of that play. Very few in last Saturday night's audience knew any member of The Thespians and yet the universal comment was that they gave a good and pleasing performance. There was plenty of comedy in the play and the different musical selections had plenty of jingle and catchy phraseology The entire cast played their parts so well that it would be unjust toall to particu- larize any one part. The delightful mus- ic of the orchestra was a much appre- ciated feature of the evening’s perform- ance. The Thespians returned to State College on a special train the same night. ‘BILLY SUNDAY AT STATE COLLEGE. ! —Winding up his seven weeks campaign in Scranton Sunday evening Billy Sun- day, the noted evangelist, came to State College on Monday and gave three talks i in the six hours he was there. ! He arrived at Lemont on the morning , train and was met there by Dr. Sparks in his automobile. About a mile from the College the road was blockaded by students, compelling the driver of the car to stop. The students then tied ropes to the car and hauled it the bal- ance of the way to the College and up in fro: t of the main building, where Sun- day was given a big ovation and a band serenade. At 9.30 o'clock the first meeting of the day was held in the auditorium and it was crowded to the doors. Sunday talk- ed on atheism and he soundly rapped the atheists and free thinkers for not believing things they cannot understand. “Why then,” he asked, “do they believe that a black cow after eating green grass will give white milk?” Continuing Sunday said: “The world has no science out- side the Bible. I started out preaching by writing a sermon on gray matter. I searched through dictionaries and en- cyclopedias, securing words that would make a Greek professor's mouth ache for a week and it was a fizzle. Then I loaded my gospel gun up with dynamite, old nails, barbwire and tin cans, screwed on the end, fired it off and the bunch is running yet, amid yells and flying feath- ers.” At one o'clock Sunday delivered a talk to the general public in the old chapel and at three o'clock he gave a talk to men only in the auditorium. During Mr. Sunday’s morning talk he made a plea for the college Y. M. C. A, and took up a collection for the benefit of that institution. And just to show that he meant business he put twenty- five dollars in the hat and Rhodeheaver put in a like amount. The total amount raised was $1,123. Sunday did not re- ceive one cent for his talks at the College outside his traveling expenses. During his afternoon meeting four hundred stu- dents marched to the front and pledged themseives to a better life. When Sun- day left the College in an automobile to go to the train at Lemont the students lined up on each side of the main drive- way and cheered him good-bye. Sunday was in Bellefonte about fifteen minutes, waiting on the train west on the Bald Eagle. He did not leave the depot but many people went there to see him and shake his hand. He expressed par- ticular interest in Bellefonte as being the birthplace of John Montgomery Ward, the famous ex-baseball player, whom Sunday knows very well, and he made various inquiries about him and his antecedents. From here Sunday went direct to his home at Winona Lake, Ind. CLEAN-UP ~ WEEK PROCLAMATION. — Urging upon the community individual effort in the campaign for a cleaner town, Burgess Blanchard this week issued the following proclamation on “Clean-up- Week,” which starts Monday, May 4th. PROCLAMATION. To the Citizens of Bellefonte: The third annual “‘Clean-up-Week’’ for a spick- and-span Bellefonte begins on Monday, May 4th. The committee in charge of the “Clean-up- Week’ campaign, with the able assistance of the Council, has urged upon you in many ways the necessity of giving your full share of co-operation toward the success of this undertaking. Let not the appeal go unheeded. Every citizen should make it his duty during this week toclean up his property, both inside and outside; to join with spirit and determination in the crusade against dirt and filth and to work ungrudgingly for a healthier, safer and brighter Bellefonte. Gather together such articles as old beds and bedding, mattresses, discarded pieces of furni- ture, broken dishes and crockery, paper, bottles, rags, cans, etc., and put them in such condition that they can be easily loaded into wagons by the collector. Those things have little or no value to you and their continued presence in obscure corners of the house only serves the purpose of affording a breeding place for common disease carriers or of increasing your fire risk. Likewise clean up the filth and trash on vacant lots and help to eliminate by preventive methods the most persistent of summer pests, the fly and the mosquito. All the town asks of its citizens now is a little individual effort, a concentrated effort on the part of all toward the bringing about of better living conditions. Let us take this opportunity of showing our sincerity and civic pride and enter enthusiastical- ly into the campaign for a cleaner town. Let it be a real pleasure to clean up the house from top to bottom, the yard, the alley. the vacant lot and all other places where insanitary and otherwise dangerous conditions exist, realizing, as we must, the enormous advantage to be gained. Let us beautify by planting flowers in the back yard and in the porch boxes and sow grass seed on the places that are now barren. Let us make Bellefonte spick and span and earn the right to the title, ‘‘Pennsylvania’s Cleanest Town.” A : EDMUND BLANCHARD, Burgess. NAVAL RECRUITING STATION IN BELLE- FONTE.—A naval recruiting station will be opened in the vacant room in the Aiken block on Allegheny street next Monday, April 27th. W. F.
