. high standard and the lecture of Dr. S.
Parkes Cadman at the closing session so
' far eclipsed anything ever heard in Belle-
! spent to bring the Chautauqua here.
| Dr A E. Turner was the superintend-
‘ent in charge of the week’s work while
| Margaret Bradway had charge of the .
' Junior Chautauqua. Dr. Turner is one
of the association’s ablest leaders and his
| series lectures each afternoon during
| the week were interesting and always to
! the point. The Dunbar singing band on
i
the opening day pleased the audience
| both afternoon and evening, while the
illustrated lecture on “The Panama Ca-
nal and Panama-Pacific Exposition,” by
Dr. William Rader was extremely inter-
esting. Dr. Rader, who is now on the
staff of the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
spent fifteen years in California and his
descriptions of the many colored pictures
were very real and vivid.
The Romano orchestra on Wednesday
furnished some pleasing music and the
discussion for woman suffrage in the
afternoon by Frank Stevens and against
it in the evening by Mrs. D. J. Olyphant
were interesting only to the individual
feeling on this momentous question.
Neither one presented a convincing argu-
ment in support of their contention.
The Tuskegee Institute singers on
Thursday were pleasing in their rendi-
tion of the old-time southern melodies
while Congressman Victor Murdock’s
talk the same evening was very enter-
taining, albeit it was a strong plea for the
Progressive party. The Avon players on
Friday and Chauncey J. Hawkins’ illus-
trated lecture on “Bright Eyes and Wild
Hearts of Our North Woods, or Hunt-
ing With'a Camera,” comprised a very
delightful day’s program. Dr. Hawkins
presented some wonderful pictures of
wild animal life in the north and he
vouched for the correctness of all of
them as he took them himself.
has a voice of rare sweetness and calibre
and always delights her audiences. The
lecture of Judge R. M. Wanamaker, on
Saturday evening, on “Partisanship vs.
Patriotism,” was profound and scholarly
but not the kind to deeply interest the
average Chautauqua audience.
On Sunday afternoon Rev. W. M. B.
Glanding preached in the big tent and in

Miss Melrose sang on both oc-
The climax of the week, however, was
reached with the closing sessions on Mon-
day. The Junior Chautauqua play in the
afternoon drew quite an audience, which
remained to hear the concert by the Ad-
riatic band. This was by far the best
musical organization on the program.
The band was composed of twenty-three
members with Pasquale Ferranti as di-
rector, and their playing both afternoon
and evening won hearty applause. The
big tent was crowded at the closing ses-
sion Monday evening, because everybody
expected to hear an able lecture by Dr.
Cadman on “A Modern Babylon,” and
nobody was disappointed. Dr. Cadman
were his word pictures, his comparisons
and his truisms that the time passed
come. With the music of the Adriatic
band and Dr. Cadman’s lecture it can
truly be said that the Chautauqua closed
‘in a blaze of glory,” and any criticisms
that might have been made during the
week were lost sight of completely.
The guarantors who last year went on
record to secure the Chautauqua this
year came out without losing a dollar.
Every ticket was sold, and a few more
could have been disposed of, if they
could have been had on Wednesday.
Such being the case very little difficulty
is being experienced in securing guaran-
tors to bring the Chautauqua to Belle-
fonte next year.
At Monday evening’s session about
450 persons signed cards pledging them-
selves to purchase a ticket next year,
and up ‘till Tuesday evening sixty-eight
persons had put their names on the list
as guarantors. It is the desire of the
committee to secure a total of one hun-
dred guarantors. At a meeting of the
committee on Tuesday evening Charles
F. Mensch was elected permanent chair-
man for next year. He has issued the
following call:
TO CHAUTAUQUA GUARANTORS.
In order to dispose of important busi-
ness demanding immediate attention, a
meeting of all 1915 Chautauqua guaran-
tors is called for Monday evening, July
20th, at 7.30 o'clock, in the Y. M. C. A.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION. —During Dr. |
Cadman’s lecture on Monday night he’
and the audience were very much an- |
noyed by the repeated blowing of the
horn on the autobus; Dr. Cadman finally |
referring to the matter in no gentle
terms. The driver claims that the bus
was waiting on a number of Milesburg
people who were at the lecture, that he
had left the car and gone over to the
school house grounds, and while there
some other person blew the whistle. Mr.
Emerick expresses sincere regret that
there was an occurrence of such rude
conduct, but feels that the driver ot the
bus should not be held responsible.
——The Fourth of July was a very
I quiet day in Bellefonte. There being no
. celebration of any kind here a number
{ of people went to State College to wit-
| ness the celebration given by residents
i of that town. Some went to Unionville,
{ others to Howard and the biggest crowd
In the evening residents
of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. McGinley, of
Thomas street. She was engaged in
shooting firecrackers in the afternoon,
applied a match to one about four inches
long and laid it down to explode. It
didn’t explode promptly and thinking it
had gone out picked it up to take a look.
It exploded in her hand and burned her
quite badly over the eyes, her forehead
and hair. Both her eyes were swelled
shut for several days and it was feared
the sight of one might be impaired, but
fortunately such was not the case, and
she has practically recovered from the
burns.
AT WORK ON STATE HIGHWAYS.—W.
D. Meyer, state highway engineer for
Centre and Clearfield counties, was in
Bellefonte on Wednesday and with su-
perintendent Bennett had a force of engi-
neers make a survey of High street from
the Diamond to Water street, and out
south Water street and Willowbank
street to the borough line. A survey
was also made of Bishop street and out
Spring street and around the old pike to
the borough line. These are the routes
for which applications for state aid were
made a month or so ago, and there is
good reason to believe that the aid will
be granted.
Mr. Meyer also instructed superin-
tendent Bennett to put log drags on all |
dirt roads under jurisdiction of the State
at once and fix them up as speedily as
possible and also to get gangs in shape
to continue work on all unfinished state-
highways and state-aid roads. This will
mean resumption of work on the road
from State Coliege to Lemont and also
on the Nittany valley road. One of the
roads which is badly in need of repair at
the present time is the road from Port
Matilda to Philipsburg, and it is likely
that a gang of men will be put there at
once.
Mgrs. ELLis BIERLEY KILLED ON SAw
MIiLL.—One of the most deplorable acci-
dents that has happened in Centre coun-
ty for a long time was that on Wednes-
day afternoon, whereby Mrs. Ellis Bier-
ley, of Milesburg, lost her life.
Mr. Bierley has a lumbering operation
and saw mill on the Divide, about two
miles north of Howard. Mrs. Bierley
spent the week days in the camp in order ;
to cook for her husband and some of the
men employed on the mill. She fre-
quently visited the mill and watched the
men at work and on Wednesday after-
noon she made one of her customary
visits. While no one was observing her |
she got too close to the engine with the
result that the set screw on the drive
shaft caught her clothing and in the twink-
ling of an eye she was drawn beneath the
fly wheel, into a space not over eight
inches wide. Her right arm was broken,
right side and the right side of her head ;
crushed.
The accident happened about 2.30
o'clock but it took some time to get a
physician and it was probably an hour
later when Dr. Kurtz, of Howard, arriv-
ed upon the scene. He rendered what
aid it was possible to give at the time
and with Mr. Bierley started in an auto-
mobile to bring the injured woman to the
Bellefonte hospital, as she was still alive
but unconscious. But she died while the
automobile was speeding on its way be-
tween Howard and Mt. Eagle and when
they arrived in Milesburg the remains
' were taken to the Bierley home.
