——Word from Jersey Shore is in ef-
fect that Mrs. Ogden B. Malin, who re-
cently underwent a very serious opera-
tion for appendicitis, at the home of her

recovery.
——Miss Lucille Wetzel has resigned
her position in the office of county treas-
urer John D. Miller to take effect next
week, owing to her marriage next month
to Malcolm R. Pifer, of Howard. She
will be succeeded in the county treasur-
er's office by her sister, Miss Ruth
Wetzel.
——Never butt in where you're not
wanted. If you don’t believe this saying,
read Miss Martha Alrick Johnson's story

tled, “How the Parson Fell from Grace.”
Miss Johnson is a resident of Bellefonte
and has quite a reputation as a writer of
short stories.
——Mr. J. P. Potteiger and his P. R.R.
shop concert band of Tyrone will visit
Bellefonte tomorrow and give two con-
certs in the opera house, afternoon and
evening. The afternoon prices will be
but 10 and 20 cents and the evening 15,
25 and 35 cents. This makes one or both
of these concerts within the reach ot all,
and take our word for it, they will be
worth hearing.
——An engagement announcement
which will be of interest to many in
Bellefonte, is that of Miss Helen Lyman,
a niece of C. J. Phelps, late Ambassador
to England, and Sherwood E. Hall, of
New York city. Mr. Hall for two years
was connected with the Bellefonte Acad-
emy as a teacher of Latin and history,

left here three years ago, to begin his
studies for a corporation lawyer in New
York city.
——Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson
Hale, one of the most beautiful women
and one of the leading actresses of the
day, will come to Bellefonte Saturday,
May 23rd, in the interest of Suffrage in
Pennsylvania. Mrs. Hale is considered
the foremost talker on this subject
among the women of America, and the
opportunity of hearing her is one Belle-
fonte people should not ignore. The lec-
ture, which will be given in the court
house, will be free, though an offering
will be taken.
——Harry H. Schreyer and H. U. Mor-
ton, of Chicago, have been in Bellefonte
this week, spending their time among
Mr. Schreyer’s old-time friends in Belle-
fonte and at the Country club. Mr.
Shcreyer, by the way, has furnished the
club three English pheasants, which will
be housed in a wire netting enclosure
among the locust trees east of the club
house. He expects to add to the flock
just as soon as he can - obtain the birds
‘with the idea of eventually turning them
lloose to propagate on" the mountains of
Centre county.
Eaton, the five year old daughter of Mrs.
George Eaton, of Blanchard, was drown-
ed in Bald Eagle creek near that place
lon Sunday afternoon and it was only
| eost.
i through the heroic efforts of her fourteen !
herself, was saved from a watery grave.
noon Mrs. Eaton with her son and daugh-
ter and a nephew, Chester Waltz, went
for a boat ride on Bald Eagle creek. In-
stead of paddles William Eaton was us-
ing a pole to propel and guide the boat.
They had not proceeded far when the
boat struck a sunken limb. The occu-
pants at once became alarmed and in the
excitement the boat was overturned, pre-
cipitating the four into deep water. Mrs.
Eaton called to her son William to save
the Waltz boy and she would take care
of her little girl. Young Eaton managed
to get the boy to safety and when he
looked for his mother and sister he was
horrified to see that the latter had disap-
peared and his mother was apparently
unconscious. Hurriedly securing another
boat he rowed out into the stream and,
notwithstanding the fact that his mother
is a woman weighing two hundred
pounds, he managed to get her uncon-
scious form into the boat and rowed
ashore, where the woman was finally re-
suscitated.
It appears that when Mrs. Eaton at-
tempted to save her little girl she got a
short distance toward the shore when
she was caught by a strong current and
swept off her feet. Being unable to
swim she finally lost consciousness and
it ‘was then she lost her hold on her
little daughter who sank from view and
was drowned. The child’s body was re-
covered later in the afternoon.
A Goop MULE STtORY.—Did you ever
see a mule die a natural ‘death? Of
course you didn’t, ‘cause mules don’t die;
they are simply dickered back and forth
until they dry up and are blown away.
At least Hon. A. G. Morris might easily
be convinced that such is the case and
all because of the following:
Between fifteen and sixteen years ago
he bought an old gray mule for $15. He
used the mule around the limestone
quarries for twelve years then gave it to
Henry Casper, the drayman. Casper
drove the old mule three years and
about three months ago sold it to a Nit-
tany valley farmer for $25. Last week
Mr. Morris was informed that the Amer-
ican Lime and Stone company, of which
he is'the head, was in need of a mule at
its plant near Tyrone. Mr. Morris del-
egated ex-sheriff D. W. Woodring, of this
place, to hunt a mule, and Mr. Weod-
ring was right on the job, as he said he
knew where he could get a splendid
mule. A few days ago he told Mr. Mor-
ris that He had bought a mule, and got it
for the cheap price of $110, but when
the ‘mule .was delivered what was Mr.
Morris’ astonishment and chagrin to find
that the mule that Woodring had bought
was the old gray mule he had given
away over three years ago, and which is
now probably over thirty years old.
We'll leave it to the reader to imagine
what Mr. Morris said when he made the
discovery.
FREAKS OF TUESDAY EVENINGS STORM.
—One of the worst storms we have had
this spring, and there have been a num-
ber of them, was that shortly after six
o'clock on Tuesday evening. It came up
with the rapidity of a western cyclone
and the clouds were so black and dense
that it was almost like night time. Dur-
ing the storm there was a very severe
flash of lightning and coincident there-
with a ball of fire about the size of a
hickory nut appeared on the metal ceil-
ing of the Scenic theatre, hanged there
for an instant then dropped to the floor
and disappeared. An examination show-
ed that a'small hole had been burned in
the ‘metal ceiling, but no fire originated.
Some time during Tuesday afternoon
Frank Bartley took a traveling man down
to Hublersburg in his automdbile. They
left Hublersburg about six o'clock and
were nearing Bellefonte when the storm
came up. Just beyond Beaver’s farm the
traveling man remarked that it looked
as if a cyclone were coming and advised
Bartley to turn on the power and go
through it. Bartley turned on the power
and just as he topped the hill at the turn
beyond Beaver’s farm the full force of
the storm struck them and lifted the ma-
chine bodily and setit over to the side of
the road, a distance of ten feet or more.
Fortunately the machine was not over-
turned, no damage was done and nobody
was hurt.
SUMMER SESSION AT STATE COLLEGE.—
Advance registration indicates an attend-
ance of fully 1000 teachers at the summer
session of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, beginning the last of June. Last
year 600 teachers attended during the
six weeks. The are fifty-two college in-
structors offering courses in nearly every
line of study from Greek and literature
to cooking, poultry raising and wood
working. A special course in milling is
offered to those engaged in that industry,
as well as courses in Biblical study for
Sunday school workers. Many promi-
nent educators will speak at the daily
assemblies. Homer Rodeheaver, who has
charge of the music in “Billy” Sunday's
campaigns, will lead at the Sunday even-
ing campus services.

ers and family have moved from Howard

Shortly after one o'clock Sunday after- 10 the Property jus
purchased a year ago hy the Leathers
Bros. from Dr. R. G. H. Hayes. Mr.
Leathers will farm some of the land and
look after the place generally.
——For the Washington excursion that
left Bellefonte last Saturday night 71
whole and two half tickets were sold at
the Bellefonte station; 125 were sold at
Lemont, quite a number of college
students taking the trip, and the total
number off of the branch exceeded five
hundred. The excursionists returned to
Bellefonte at two o'clock Monday morn-
ing.

——Rev. R. Crittenden, so well and
favorably known to a very large propor-
tion of the WATCHMAN’S readers, and
whose home is 19 Cedar Ave., Bethlehem,
Pa., writes us that “I want my good
friends to know that I am still on the
firing line at the front.” A fact that we
know there are scores and scores of good
people in this section of the State will be
rejoiced to learn.
——The funeral of the late Isaac
Thomas was held from his home on
Thomas street at 2.30 o'clock on Monday
afternoon and was attended by Gregg
Post No. 95, G. A. R. The services at
the house were in charge of Rev. E. H.
Yocum, of the Methodist church, and
Rev. George E. Hawes, of the Presby-
terian church. Burial in the Union ceme-
tery was in accordance with the G. A. R.
ritual.

——The regular May term of quarter
sessions court will open next Monday,
and the sessions next week will be of
more than the usual interest, owing to
two homicide cases and one or two other
serious criminal cases. On account of
the criminal list being larger than usual
only two civil cases were put on the
docket for trial next week, but a large
list is scheduled for trial the second week
of court.
~——MTrs. Thomas R. Hayes made a
deal this week whereby she purchased
the handsome home of Dr. Emory Marvel,
at Atlantic City, part of the consideration
being the transfer to Dr. Marvel of her
home on north Allegheny street, this
place. Dr. Marvel expects to make
Bellefonte the summer residence for his
family, but having already made arrange-
ments for the coming summer will not
come here until next year. ;

——Last Sunday two dogs were engag-
ed in chasing a deer on the mountains
near Lamar. They were caught in‘the
act by Harry Holmes, and one of the dogs
caught while the other was chased from
the trail. The dog caught had a tag
bearing the name Harry Zimmerman, of
Hecla. The game warden at Tyrone was
notified and he went to Hecla and ac-
quainted Mr. Zimmerman with what had
happened, after which the dogs were
killed.
——Manager T. Clayton Brown is not
giving away premiuns to induce attend-
ance at the Scenic, but he is giving the
best line of pictures he can secure and
this is the reason so many patronize that
popular place of amusement. Popular
prices always prevail for regular circuit
films and only a raise in price when
something unusual and costly is secured.
Remember, the Scenic is comfortable,
even in hot weather, made so by a big
exhaust fan.
——Commenting upon the very wet
and unsettled weather we have had this
spring James Schofield, the Spring street
saddler, says that as long as you see the
clouds shifting in different directions,
showing two or more air currents you
can be assured that the weather will be
unsettled. But if the clouds all move
directly from the west to the east show-
ing only one air current, that denotes-dry
weather. From the amount of rain we
have had this spring there must have
been a dozen different currents in the
air. :
——The strong Indiana Normal base
ball team will be the Bellefonte Acad-
emy’s opponents on new Hughes field
this (Friday) afternoon. In ‘all kinds of
Athletics the Indiana Normal has always
been one of the Academy’s strongest
rivals, so that any kind of a contest be-
tween representative teams of the two
institutions means a hard fought strug-
gle. And for this reason today’s game
will probably be one of the best to be
seen here this season, and for that
reason a good crowd should “attend.
Game will be called at 2.30 o'clock.
Admission, 25 cents. :
——Vincent Nicholas Taylor, second
son of Col. H. S. Taylor, received word
last Saturday that he had successfully
passed the examination for admission to
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, for
which he had been appointed an alternate
some time ago by Congressman Charles
E. Patton. Unfortunately, however, the
principal also passed and got the appoint-
ment. But on Tuesday morning Vincent
received a letter from Congressman Pat-
ton stating that he had appointed him a
cadet to West Point and he was ordered
to report immediately to the Washington
barracks, Baltimore, for a mental and
physical examination, and he left for that
place the same evening.
SENATOR PENROSE VISITS BELLEFONTE.
—United States Senator Boies Penrose
made his much-talked-of visit to Bellefonte
‘yesterday in the interest of his own
| candidacy for re-election, but there was
| no general out-pouring of the faithful to
‘ greet him.
The Senator accompanied by Secretary
i of the Commonwealth Robert McAfee
| and M. B. Nesbitt, of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, the man who sends out all the
Penrose dope to the few newspapers in
the State willing to publish it, arrived in
Bellefonte shortly after one o’clock in the
Senator's big Winton Six automobile.
They left Harrisburg at 8.30 o'clock in
the morning, so-that the trip was made
in less than five hours. The reception
committee: of a half a dozen stalwart
Republicans was at the train to meet
them when the Senator’s car came down
High street. They were forthwith steer-
ed to the Brockerhoff house for lunch.
The Senator’s party escorted by a del-
egation of local Republicans left for State
College at two o'clock. There they at-
tended a shoot by the State College gun
club and also held a reception from 4 to
time for supper.
A mass meeting was held in the court
house last evening at 8 o'clock. The
court room was not crowded by any
means, and many of those present went
porters of Penrose. Burgess Edmund
Blanchard presided over the meeting and
introduced the speakers. Senator Pen-
rose talked on “Good Roads,” and the
“Effect of the New Tariff on Agriculture.”
Brief talks were also made by Thomas H-
Harter and others.
A public reception was tendered Pen-
rose at the Elks home from9 to 11
o'clock. Tcday the Senator will visit
