CENTRE COUNTY HAS DESCENDENTS OF THE FAMOUS HERD.—For the past week eastern daily papers have been giving much space to pictures and the story of the killing of the herd of famous Guern- sey cattle on the farm of Hon. E. T. Gill, Haddon Farms, N. J. The herd compos- ed 142 animals and was valued at more than $50,000.00. Notwithstanding every precaution taken to guard it from infec- tion from the hoof and mouth disease the herd became infected and every animal was killed. This herd included many advanced register cows and was regarded as prob- ably the finest dairy strain in America. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, of Sun- day, had the following to say of several of the more notable animals in the herd: The principal animal of the herd is the: famous 16-year-old prize bull Glenwoods Main Stay, the value of which cannot be ascertained, as Mr. Gill in the past has refused to consider even the most tempt- ing offers to sell. Other famous animals include the prize cows Elbrons Glen- wood, of Haddon, holder of records for milk and butter production; the two fine prize bulls Glenwoods Royal and Glen- woods Main Stay, 33d, as well as many more. The entire herd was bred by Mr. Gill, who many years ago imported a few pure-bred animals from the Isle of Guernsey, from whom the present stock is directly descended. Breeding experi- ments resulting in the raising of a dis- tinct stock, which eventually has become famed and known as the Glenwoods. It may be interesting to lovers of fine stock in this section to know that “Fear- less Boy,” No 22216, owned by Geo. R. Meek, is a direct descendent of the fa- mous bull above mentioned. He is from the Glenwood and Langwater strains, the very best combination in American breed- ing of Guernseys. With this high bred bull and the two heifers “Snowdrop of Les Merriennes” No. 45972, and Don- ington Giddy 2nd which Mr. Meek im- ported from the Isle of Guernsey two ‘years ago, he has the nucleus upon which he hopes to develop a fine herd of pure bred Guernseys. + It is not Mr. Meek’s intention to raise fancy cattle as a business. He merely wants a good herd on his own farm and incidentally, to raise the strain in the county as much as is possible, selling to those who may want them such calves as are dropped by these registered animals as are not needed in the building up of his herd. He has now two splendid bull calves, about six ‘weeks old ‘that he is willing to part with at $25.00 each, though the professional breeders are ask- ing from $40 to $100 for animals of less superior breeding. Should anybody wish to improve their stock by the acquisition of one of these pure bred Guernseys here ‘is an opportunity not often afforded. veer HARTER—CLEMENTS.-Allen Harter and Miss Anna Clements, both of near Jack- sonville, were united in marriage at the Reformed parsonage at Howard, at noon on Wednesday, by the pastor, Rev.

U. prize-essay contest was held last Friday afternoon in the High school au- ditorium, with a good audience present, who listened with rapt attention to the ten remarkably clever essays on the now much-discussed subjects of alcohol and tobacco and their harmfulness to the hu- man body, mind and soul. The program opened with delightful music by the High school orchestra to the strains of which the ten contestants marched in single file to the platform. These were Sophia Houser, Deborah Lyon, Nellie Hunsinger, Julia Waite, Frances Willard, Regina Brandman, Eleanor Bower, Mary Royer, Earle Garbrick and Russell Rider. Their essays had been chosen, as Prof. Whiting announced, as the best from about a hundred written, which should be very gratifying indeed to these young contestants. The Bellefonte’ Womans’ Christian Temperance Union ‘each year awards ten dollars in gold for the prizes— | five dollars to the best boy writer and five dollars to the best girl contestant. At this year’s contest Mrs. Robert Beach, Prof. Sloop and Mr. Arthur Dale acted as judges and while out making their de- cision the High school orchestra again played delightfully. When the judges re- appeared Prof. Whiting announced the winners as Miss Sophia Houser and Rus- sell Rider. The prizes will be given them at commencement time when all the prizes of the school year are an- nounced and bestowed upon the respec- tive winners. Miss Houser’s essay was on Alcohol and Tobacco and Russell Rider’s on Alcohol and the Laborer. The latter follows in full: ALCOHOL AND THE LABORER. ; Alcona is a colorless, inflammable lig- uid. When a man takes a drink he has in- jured himself in some way. : Once laborers thought that liquor pro- duced a reserve energy, and a healthy stimulation that caused them to work with renewed vigor. Now-a-days this ignorant and harmful thought toward liquor by working people has been sup- planted by the reverse conception of it. In the last few years labor unions and employers have been working together to abolish the use of liquors by working- men. Industry is commencing to open its eyes to the fact that liquor is its most dreadful and dangerous enemy. The most dangerous.enemies of the working- men are the hotel bars, saloons, and res- taurants. If a man drinks while on duty he will, of course, lose complete control of himself and will not be capable of run- ning powerful machinery, Some of the kindest hearted people are the ones that use alcohol When some men are sober they would do any- thing, if it lay in their power for you. Some of the great evangelists and minis ters are men who have gone through the ordeal and some were the worst kind of drinkers. Brotherhood - of Locomotive Engineers, perhaps the most powerful Union in the world, said: “Every true friend of the workingman will vote against the saloon, | every time he gets a chance, and net only close it on Sunday but every day of the week.”’ Twenty labor unions of the United. States, with a total membership of 179, 925, which furnish to their members aid in case of sickness, provide by their rules that where sickness or injury is the re- sult of drunkenness, the member effected shall not beentitled to such aid. Likewise, the rules of the Association of Iron, Steel and Tin workers of the United States pro- vide that when a man loses his job through intoxication, no steps shali be taken to reinstate him. Nobody realizes more than the labor unions the effect of alcohol on the workingman. How many disasters on land and sea are caused by alcohol? Nearly three- fourths of them are due to the use of als cohol. The United States Navy Department forbids the use of alcohol among their employees. The Anchor, White Star, Hamburg-American steamship lines, also forbid the use of alcohol while on duty, either afloat or ashore. The workingmen comprise the most population and they are the largest patrons of the saloon His family, his employers, and his companions are slowly making him realize the terrible mistake he is making in drinking. Many thous- and people from all over the United States met at Washington to talk over the Anti-Saloon question and try to pass it through the Hous? of Representatives, but all in vain. Much of this has to do with the workingman. He will vote for a man who is in favor of having liquor and this is where he makes a great mis- take. Pennsylvania is the worst State in the Union for the sale of liquor. For this reason it is called, “The Blacksnake State.” When the brain of a workman is affected he is liable to do anything, even though it were to his fellow work- man. These men could be made pure if they would only leave the curse of. liquor alone. If a man would only con- sider the importance of this Anti-Saloon, question liquor would be abolished in a’ very short time. If a laborer would save the money that he spends for alcohol, he could start a bank account. . Looking at the liquor question from a monetary stand-point, the employers of laboring men are prohibiting the use of alcoholic drinks among their employees, for they realize that skilled labor of the present age demands clear thinking and concentration of mind. If a railway tow- erman holding in his power the lives of hundreds of passengers, loses his nerve and becomes blindly confused because of alcoholic dissipation, he is a menace both to the company and to the people. It has been found that,of “forty-nine rail- roads in the United States, twenty require total abstinence, on or off duty; two de- clared that they would not employ a drinker if they were aware of the fact; nineteen preferred teetotalers when they were promoting, and eight absolutely for- | bade the frequenting of saloons under penalty of dismissal.” = Also a rule of the American Railway Unions requires, “Ab- stinence on or off duty, and the avoidance of saloons.” Mr. Carrol D. Wright, Unit- | ed States Comonissioner of Labor, asked 6976 employers of the country whether | upon hiring new men they took into con. ‘sideration the liquor habit. Out of the Mr. P. M. Arthur, president of the | Kru RR total there were 5363 who declared that sideration. Commercial concerns. of to- day hire men for the money-making pow- er thatis in them. Therefore, when the | workers become industrially worthless ! through liquor drinking, they are cast ; | aside for more efficient workmen, or for ; | water drinkers in fact. i One of the mostattractive features of a | saloon is, a man can buy a glass of whisky ! or beer and then eat all the cold lunch he { wants. Theonly remedy for a man going to a saloon will be the establishment of decent, attractive community centers where the workingman may enjoy very : cheaply the best of concerts, shows, and | other entertainments. The time is com- | ing when the whole world will be total | abstainers. A big temperance movement | | predict the huge strides that the laborer ; will take by the next century? ! CosTLY FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE.—On | Tuesday morning the handsome resi- dence of A. H. Espenshade, on Beaver avenue, State College, was partially de- stroyed by fire.
