two children at home. When the flames
were discovered neighbors managed to
save the eldest child but could not get to
the youngest one. It was finally gotten
out without being burned, though lite
was extinct.
A number of Academy students rush-
ed to the fire and several of them were
on the porch of the Green home. Maurice

alighting on his head and shoulders. He
was rushed to the hospital where later
he recovered and it was found that he
had suffered only a slight injury over his
right kidney.
The Green house was entirely destroy-
ed and the Thompsons lost all their furni-
ture and clothing. The Curtin house
was only partially burned and most of the

some insurance so that her loss will not
be total.
Y. M. C. A. Week.—Following close
upon the wind-up of the evangelistic
services in the armory the Y. M. C. A.
is conducting a campaign this week to
increase its membership and incidentally
pay off a small indebtedness against the
Association. Special membership rates
are being offered for this week only.
Mr. H. C. Chesley, who is connected with
the Y. M. C. A. headquarters at Harris-
burg is here and assisting in the cam-
paign. The front of the Y. M. C. A.
building is covered with banners pro-
claiming to every passerby that this is
Y. M. C. A. week, and a large clock
shows the progress made each day by
the two teams of a dozen men each, the
Braves and the Giants, who are working
hard to win the prize banquet offered to
the team which secures the most mem-
bers.
As a preliminary function to the climax
of the campaign tomorrow was a four
o'clock tea given at the home of Miss
Mary Hunter Linn at four o'clock yes-
terday afternoon. Mr. Chesley present-
ed the advantages of a flourishing Y. M.
C. A. in any town, and also the needs of
the Bellefonte Association. Prof. Culver
was present and entertained the gather-
ing with some of his splendid singing.
At 12.30 today (Friday) there will be a
business men’s luncheon at the Y. M. C.
A., to which the business men of the
town are invited. Mr. Chesley and Prof.
Culyer will also be at this luncheon. At
7.30 o'clock this evening there will be a
free ice cream social at the Y. M. C. A.
for the boys of Bellefonte. Every boy
over ten years of age is invited to be
present. :
But tomorrow will be the real Y. M.
C. A. day. The officials appeal directly
to every man to not only become a mem-
ber himself, but let each one resolve to
secure at least one other member. By
doing this the campaign is sure to reach
a successful climax.
Mr. Chesley is enthusiastic over the
Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. He avers that
young men are given more for their
money here than in any Association he
has ever visited. The regular yearly
membership fee is but five dollars, but
this week special rates of two and three
dollars have been made. This will enti-
tle the member to a full year of reading
rooms, games, gymnasium, and swim-
ming pool. Then to any so desiring
there are educational classes in civil
service, shorthand, tvpewriting, electrici-
ty and automobiling.
_ If you are not already interested you
are urged to become so and help push
the hands around on the big Y. M. C. A.
clock. So get busy.

BIG WRESTLING MEET TOMORROW
NiGHT.—Tomorrow night the University
of Pennsylvania wrestling team will be
Penn State’s antagonists on the latter's
be the heavy weight contest between Levi
Lamb, State’s unthrown heavyweight,
and Mike Dorizas, the unthrown Greek
wrestler of the University of Pennsylva-
nia. Naturally the odds are favorable
to the Greek, owing to the fact that he
weighs about 210 pounds and is a natur-
al built wrestler. On the other hand
Lamb weighs between 190 and 195
pounds, hence is from fifteen to twenty
pounds lighter than Dorizas. Last Sat-
urday evening the Lafayette wrestlers
were Penn’s antagonists on the latter's
mat and the Philadelphia papers claim
that Dorizas simply toyed with Becker,
Lafayette’s heavy weight. But then
Becker weighs only 175 pounds, and
Dorizas’ extra thirty-five pounds of beef
made a difference too great for the light-
er man to overcome. State students,
however, feel that Lamb will give a good
account of himself tomorrow night.
——We wish to thank the people of
Bellefonte for their kind assistance ex-
tended to us in our recent bereavement
through the death of our father. Mrs.
Sarah Wagner and children.

Dr. Yocum home from his usual Sunday
afternoon talk to the prisoners at the
penitentiary he stalled his motor at the
toll gate and when undertaking to crank
it again it back fired and fractured his
wrist. W. W. Keichline went out and
brought the unfortunate man home in
Hugh Crider’s car, returning afterward
for Dr. Yocum.
—
——On Monday Henry and John Ritts,
brothers, applied to the Altoona authori-
ties for assistance to get to Snow Shoe,
this county. They claimed to have come
east over five hundred miles on the
promise of a friend in Snow Shoe that he
could get them work. In support of their
story they produced the letter from the
Snow Shoe resident. They were each
given a dollar, and after walking to Ty-
rone, boarded a train over the Bald Eagle
for Snow Shoe.
——The big charity ball, probably the
last public dance of the season, will be
given in the armory next Monday even-
ing under the auspices of Troop L and
the Associated Charities committee. The
price of tickets has been placed at $1.50
a couple, so that they are within the
reach of all who care to attend. There
will be good music, with refreshments
during the evening. The proceeds will
be divided equally between Troop L and
the Associated Charities.

——The Basket Shop of this place will
be represented at the Pan-American ex-
position in California by .a display in the
arts and crafts division, at the special
request of the management. A consign-
ment of sixty-three baskets and six hand-
woven rugs of various designs were ship-
ped to California last week and will be
placed in the palace of varied industries.
The fact that the display was requested
is evidence that the reputation of The
Basket Shop extends across the continent,
——Every day there's something new,
every evening something good, and every
exhibition something interesting in the

jority. No old or second-hand pictures
shown. You can go there and be coni-
fortable in any and all kinds of ®eatHéet
and be pleasantly entertained from one
to two hours every evening during th
week. Try it. -
——Morton Smith returned from Phila-
delphia on Sunday where last week he
took his son Ralph to the Orthopcedic
hospital. An X-ray examination there
showed that the knee cap had been
broken and that the bone and muscles
had partially grown together. forming a
hard gristle. It was necessary to rebreak
the bone and set it properly, after which
by baking and massaging it may be pos-
sible to greatly improve the knee, though
the physicians would give no positive
assurance against a permanent stiffness
of the limb.
—This (Friday) evening is the date
for the Penn State glee club concert in
the opera house for the benefit of the
Bellefonte hospital. Forty Penn State
artists, most of whom made the coast to
coast trip last winter, compose the club.
They have a continent wide reputation
and they will give their best program
tonight. The Panama quartette is alone
worth the price of a ticket. Everybody
in Bellefonte is acquainted with the needs
of the hospital. State College students
appreciate the consideration shown any
of their number who has had treatment
at the institution and it was owing to this
fact that the glee club volunteered to
give this concert for the benefit of the
hospital. All the receipts above the
actual expense will go to that institution.
A special train will be run from State
College to bring down quite a number of
students who have engaged seats and
also to take back the glee club after the
concert. :

——Thomas Sullivan, who claims Lock
Haven as his home, came to Bellefonte
Friday evening with a hard luck tale and
on Saturday was given a ticket to Lock
Haven by the poor authorities. Sullivan
was first heard of in Altouna where he
made his appearance on Thursday. He
claimed that he had lost a leg while work-
ing in the mills at Columbus, Ohio, and
having just been ‘discharged from the
hospital ' was trying to make his way
‘home to Lock Haven. The Altoona au-
thorities fed him and bought him a ticket
to Bellefonte. The Bellefonte authorities
fed him and bought him a ticket to Lock
Haven. When he reached Lock Haven
on Saturday he became so obnoxiously
insistent in his demands for assistance
that he was arrested and locked up over
Sunday. Monday morning he was re-
leased on condition that he leave the
city at once and he immediately headed
for Williamsport, without having been
furnished a ticket by the poor authorities
postor.
ORR EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS A BIG :
Success.—The three weeks evangelistic
meetings conducted by Dr. W. W. Orr in
the Bellefonte armory came to a close on
Sunday evening with one of the biggest
gatherings that ever attended a religious
meeting in Bellefonte. The seating ca-
pacity of the armory was between eleven |
and twelve hundred but the crowd pres- |
ent Sunday evening was estimated at
over fifteen hundred. And the closing
services were most impressive to all
present, while they continued from 7.30
to almost eleven o'clock.
Every big movement, be it religious or
ple of Bellefonte are jubilant over the
success of the evangelistic meetings, as
just 494 persons walked down the aisle
and pledged themselves to a life of
righteousness in the future. Every one
of the 494 signed cards giving their
church preference or no preference as
follows: :
Presbyterian... 0.
Methodist Episcopal :
3 Poited Evangelical.
ited Brethren 80
eformed .. 19
Lutheran... 12
* * Episcopal....... 14
-Frée Methodist. 8
00 A i 2
No preference.. 63
Total... niiiiininean 494
The above number has been increased
this week by others who were impressed
during the evangelistic services and have
this week given their names to one or
the other of the churches in which meet-
ings are now being held every night.
There were three services on Sunday
and all were well attended, and that Dr.
Orr's work was appreciated is evidenced
by the free will offering given him on
that day as his personal recompense. All
told it amounted to $825.00, and every
cent of this amount was given without
the asking. It was in spirit as well as
in deed a free-will offering for the good
work done in Bellefonte by Dr. Orr. As
stated in a previous issue the actual ex-
penses of the meetings were between
seven and eight hundred dollars, and it
closed and able to give for publication a
statement showing how the money was
expended.
