McKelvey, for three years pastor of the United Brethren church at Bellwood, was arrested last Friday on a charge pre- ferred by a fourteen year old girl; the warrant being sworn out by the girl's mother. Rev. McKelvey is well known in Centre county, having been stationed at Port Matilda a number of years. Three years ago he was transferred to Bell- wood. The Bellwood congregation is divided as to the guilt and innocence of the pastor, one faction claiming it isa scheme on the part of the other faction to oust the minister from the church and destroy his reputation. Rev. McKelvey is under two thousand dollars bail for his appearance at the March term of the Blair county court to answer to the charge, and some of his parishioners de- clare they will stand by him to the end. In the meantime he has tendered his resignation as pastor of the church. To Give CONCERT FOR HOSPITAL BENE- FIT.—The State College glee club, num- bering forty students, will give a con- cert in Garman’s opera house on Satur- day evening, February 20th, for the bene- fit of the Bellefonte hospital. The glee club ‘managers requested the privilege of giving the concert as a slight remu- neration Jor the consideration, care and kindness always shown college stu- dents who have had treatment at the hospital, and when they are so generous as to do this, the people of Bellefonte ought to patronize them to the extent of a crowded house. Tickets will be fifty cents. McCoy & LINN IRON Co. AGAIN IN OPERATION.—The charcoal furnace of the McCoy and Linn Iron Company at Miles- | burg was put in blast early last week and the Company’s mines at Gatesburg will later be put in operation. The improvement in the charcoal iron mar- ket, and a demand for the McCoy & Linn iron was promptly met by members of the company putting the plant in opera- tion. The resumption will give work to a number of men, the company’s old em- ployees having been given the prefer- ence. ——MTrs. Charles Robb has purchased a home at State College and expects to move there from east Lamb street in the near future. ——The indoor baseball games at the Y. M. C. A. have been discontinued until the termination of the evangelistic meet- ings in the armory, when they will be resumed as per original schedule. ——Bellefonte automobile dealers are contemplating a big season the coming summer, as already they have lots of sales in prospect.

The burns are all superficial, how- ever, and will soon heal ——On Friday of 1a: last week Judge Har- ry Alvan Hall, of Lock Haven, sentenced : Rev. F. A.

Cpa en ——Bellefonte will be represented dur- ing the present session of the Legislature with at least one appointee, Fred Thomp- son (colored) having been appointed a custodian in the House at a salary of $6.00 a day. He left on Tuesday for Harrisburg to assume the position and there is no doubt but that he will size up to the situation. Fred recently has been working for Robert Morris, at his gro- cery store. ——The contracting firm of Bush & Stewart, of Williamsport, was last week incorpotated as the Bush and Stewart Construction company. The members of the firm are George Bush, of Williams- port, and Dr. D. G. Stewart, of Belle- fonte.

Clayton Brown says that anybody who is not a regular attendant at the Scenic is missing some good pic- tures, as he is now showing the best pic- tures ever shown at the Scenic, and he ought to know. The Scenic is open every evening at 6.30 and the daily offering is from four to eight reels. The regular price of admission is five cents, with ten cents for the big features. Drop in for one of the shows during the evening and vou’ll be pleasantly entertained. — ——On Saturday twenty-three men were laid off at the new penitentiary. All of them were native Americans and most of them residents of Bellefonte. These men had been in the employ of the State excavating for buildings and grading for roadways. The continued cold weather and deep snows are given as reasons why the work has been cur- tailed. Only a few foreigners who live out near the penitentiary grounds have been kept on the job to complete the work now under way. ——Next Tuesday, February 2nd, will be groundhog day. Some weatherwise prophets are predicting that there won't be enough of sunshine on that day for Bre'r Hog to even imagine a shadow, and that the backbone of the winter is already broken. That may be so, but taking into consideration that winter really began on Thanksgiving day, and it has been going right along without a let- up, it is hard to believe that the back- bone is anything more than slightly bent and the ribs of winter are still with us. ——Harold B. Gardner, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. IL Gardner, has accepted a posi- tion in the laboratory of the Pennsyl- vania railroad company at Altoona as a chemist, and will report for duty next Monday morning. Harold is a graduate of State College class of 1913, and had recently made an engagement to go to the College as an assistant in the chem- ical laboratory under Dr. G. G. Pond. When he got the offer of an appointment with the Pennsylvania railroad company Dr. Pond released him of his engage- ment to teach. GOV. BRUMBAUGH STRONG FOR STATE COLLEGE.—Governor Brumbaugh was in attendance at the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of The Pennsylvania State College held in Harrisburg on Tues- day and was quite emphatic in express- ing his views of the need of the college for the utmost support it is possible to give it. The trustees did not decide upon any amount for the state appropriation which will be asked for, but left the mat- ter to a committee composed of Presi- dent E. E. Sparks, H. Walton Mitchell, of Pittsburgh, and H. V. White, of Bloomsburg. The appropriation the Legislature will be asked to provide will be for buildings, equipment and maintenance. While no definite decision was reached it is proba- ble that the college will ask for money for a general chemistry building, a build- ing for poultry, an animal husbandry building for the accommodation of cows, sheep and hogs, a general recitation building for the agricultural students and laboratories for the domestic science students. The building the girl students are now occupying was built when there were but 35 girls in college; now there are 105. The resignation of Prof. Jackson as dean of the school of engineering was accepted. Prof. Jackson obtained a leave of absence more than a year ago when Governor Tener placed him at the head of the Department of Labor and Indus- try. The acceptance is taken to mean that he will be reappointed. The following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: President, H. Walton Mitchell. Pittsburgh; vice president, J. G. White, New York; secretary, Dr. | Sparks; treasurer, D. K. Peet, State Col- lege. The executive committee, elected for one year, is as follows: E. S. Bayard, Pittsburgh; M. W. Lowery, Scrantcn; Vance C. McCormick, Harrisburg; H. Walton Mitchell, Pittsburgh; Ellis L. | Orvis, Bellefonte; J. E. Quigley, Pitts- burgh, and H. v. White, Bloomsburg. A CENSUS OF BEILEFONTE'S UNEM- PLOYED.—In December the Woman’s Club of Bellefonte, received an urgent appeal from the State Federation of Women asking for co-operation in ascer- taining the industrial conditions in Penn- sylvania. Each clu was requested to re- port on the percentage of unemployed in their own locality. In the first week in January a commit- tee of the Woman's Club was organized, and in ten days they canvassed the town of Bellefonte, Pleasant View, the Forge, Prossertown, and the old glass works dis- trict. The summing up was as follows: Fifty people asked for employment, of these eight were women wanting house work, and forty-two were men out of work. Since this census there has been a re- port of twenty-three Americans (mostly citizens of Bellefonte) being laid off from work at the penitentiary. Mrs. Richard S. Brouse, of Thomas street, chairman of the committee, keeps a list of the names of people wanting employment and will be glad to receive the names of any more who are in need of work; she is also desirous of assist- ance in procuring employment for these people. In this investigation it was found that there are sixteen families (consisting of from four to eleven members) needing immediate help in shoes, underclothing and coal. : A number of families were found that are living on reduced wages but who did not ask for assistance. Mrs. Brouse will be glad to receive clothes or money to supply those in need of necessities. MARY MILES BLANCHARD, President Woman’s Club, Bellefonte, Pa. eo NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —M. A.
