Mrs. William Tibbens, who has
been quite seriously ill during the past
three weeks, at her home a short distance
west of town, has been slowly growiug
better for several days, so that it is now
thought that she will recover entirely
from this illness.

——The electric sirene fire alarm which
was received in Bellefonte last week
and given a daylight test, was pronounc-

not loud enough and penetrating but was
of rather crude construction and work-
manship.
——The Penn-State Electric company
is having a hard tussle with the borough
council of Centre Hall over the matter

the company’s rates are too high.

doubt but that they will develop into first
class professional nurses.

THE IRONY OF FATE.—On Wednesday
sheriff M. A. Keiffer and county detective
John Smith, of Fayette county, brought
Nicolo Mandollo, an Italian, from the
Uniontown jail to the death house at the
new penitentiary at Rockview, where
next Monday morning he will be electro-
cuted as punishment for the murder of
Lillian Leonard, an eighteen year old girl
of Uniontown. ‘Lhe irony of fate in
Mandollo’s case is that he was one of the
first squad of prisoners put to work last
spring on digging the foundation of the
death house where he is to meet his fate.
Mandollo was serving a sentence for
manslaughter and was brought to Rock-
view during the winter of 1913-14. He
helped dig part of the foundation for the
death house before his time was up and
he was turned out on parole. He return-
ed to Uniontown and in less than a month
shot Miss Leanard while in a restaurant.
He was arrested, convicted and sentenced
te the death chair. Before leaving
Uniontown Sheriff Keiffer took Mandollo
on an automobile ride around the city.
During his incarceration Mandollo made
two attempts at suicide and still main-
tains he will never be electrocuted.

FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE.—On Saturday
afternoon a supposed explosion of chem-
icals in the chemical laboratorv of Unit
No. 4, of the Engineering building at
State College, caused a fire which was
not extinguished until damage had been
done to the extent of $2,000 to $2,500.
Unit No. 4 is used as a testing depart-
ment for the students in mechanical
and electrical engineering courses, and
various chemicals are used in this work,
, a number of which were imported from
Germany, and it will probably be impos-
sible to replace these at this time. The
fire broke out late on Saturday afternoon
when few students were around and it
had gained considerable headway when
discovered. The student body attempted
to fight the flames from the inside of the
building but gained little headway. The
Alpha fire company got on the scene as
quickly as possible and throwing a four
inch stream against the outside windows
broke the glass and soon had the flames
under control. The loss is mostly cov-
ered by insurance.
THE GIRL AND THE TRAMP.—‘“Variety
is the spice of life,” said Shakespeare,
and he must have had in view “The Girl
and the Tramp,” which plays at Gar-
man’s Tuesday evening, April 6th, when
he wrote the line. For novelty and en-
tertaining diversity, this show forms one
of the best attractions of the season
Interspersed throughout with catchy
melodies, humorist monologue and unique
dances, the bill opens up brightly and
wins from the start, leaving the audience
gratified. No one could witness this pro-
duction without feeling that the old
world is worth living in, despite the wor-
ries of rents, taxes, coal bills, and a few
other necessities summarized in the high
cost of living. The grouch owes it to
his neighbors to go and see this show.
Prices, 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY NoOTES.—The
annual declammatory contest for the W.
S. Furst prizes will take place at the
Bellefonte Academy on Thursday after-
noon of next week, April 8th.
The Academy will not close for its
Easter vacation until Friday of next
week, April 9th, when the students will
be given ten days instead of six. During
the vacation the Academy baseball team
will make its first trip of the season.

——Tragedy in moving pictures was
never more strikingly portrayed than it
was by Mrs. Lesiie Carter in Du Barry,
at the Scenic last Friday evening. Stu-
dents of French history had no trouble
recalling the troublous times of the Com-
mune in Paris from the pictures portray-
ed upon the screen. This is the class of
pictures manager T. Clayton Brown fur-
nishes his patrons and that is one rea-
son for the Scenic’s widespread popu-
larity.
——"Squire H. Laird Curtin’s big stock
sale at Curtin, on Tuesday, amounted to
a little over $4,600. One horse brought
$300, a team of mules $430, and cows
$60 and $70. His brood sows, shoats and
pigs brought him about $1,000, it being
the biggest public sale of swine ever held
in Centre county. Mr. Curtin’s sale does
not mean that he intends giving up his
farming interests, as the stock he sold
was the surplus he has acquired during
the past few years, and he still has plenty
of horses, cattle and hogs to amply stock
his farm.

——The Pennsylvania State College
closed for the Easter vacation on Wednes-
day and the students took advantage of
all possible ways to get away from the
College as soon as possible. Quite a
number of them went by automobiles in
the morning to Pennsylvania Furnace to
catch the train over the Lewisburg and
Tyrone railroad to Tyrone, to make con-
nection at the latter place for points
west. A large number of students who
did not get out of class until eleven
o'clock went to Lewistown by automobile
to catch the 1:16 p. m. train east. There
were fifteen automobile loads in the lat-
ter bunch, each machine hauling from
six to eight students with their suit
cases.
——Beliefonte friends of Augustus
Beezer, a native and former resident of
Bellefonte, but who now operates a big
dairy farm near Punxsutawney, Jeffer-
son county, will be interested in know-
ing’ that his entire herd of sixty-eight
blooded milk cows was killed on Sunday
owing to an outbreak of the foot and
mouth disease among the herd. Inas-
much as the State allows only fifty dol-
lars a head for cattle killed, Mr. Beezer’s
reimbursemen:
$3,400, which would make his loss con-
siderable, as he had cows in the herd
that he paid $90 for, while very few of
them stood as low as the price he was
paid. In addition he will suffer consid-
erable in a business way as it will proba-
bly be months before he will be able to
get another herd together and in the
meantime his dairy business is at a stand-
still.

——Thirty-five years ago Miss Mar-
garet Campbell taught a class of eleven
boys in the Sunday school at Meek’s
church, near Fairbrook. The boys
ranged in age from ten to sixteen years
and they preserved the unity of the class
until 1887 when Miss Campbell married
J. B. Williams and moved to Tyrone.
On several occasions since the class has
held a reunion and last Friday Mrs. Wil-
liams arranged a reunion for them at
her home. Those present included Da-
vid G. Meek and wife, of Juniata; Dr.
Joseph Carter and wife and Toner Pen-.
| nington, of Altoona; Morrison Ewing, of
Lewistown; Milo Campbell and wife, of
Fairbrook, and John Campbell and wife,
of Tyrone. The four members of the
class not present were Frank Bailey, of
Milton; John and Oscar Bowersox, of
State College, and John Pennington, of
Greensburg.
——1In renewing his subscription to the
WATCHMAN for the ensuing year Rev.
Isaac Krider, pastor of the Lutheran
church at Duncansville, writes as fol-
lows: “I seein last week's paper that
there is to be a big demonstration on the
4th of July in Bellefonte. Fifty years
ago I was at a demonstration in Belle-
fonte on the 4th of Julyand marched in|
the parade with the students of Pine
Grove Mills Academy. In June I will
celebrate my twenty-fifth year as pastor
of the Lutheran church here. How time
does fly!” Rev. Krider is a native of
Centre county, having been born and
raised at Gatesburg. It was at the Pine
Grove Mills Academy that he received
his preliminary education before going
to college to study for the ministry and
it was while he was there that the entire
student body came to Bellefonte for the
big demonstration he refers to. We con-
gratulate Rev. Krider on his long and
successful pastorate at Duncansville and
trust his future years will be filled to
overflowing with successin the Master's
cause. ;

“Miss Adam of Eden,” at the Garman
{ opera house on Saturday evening, April
(10th. The plot of the play which is laid
in Reno, Nev, concerns a young
| playwright who, in love with Miss Adam,
|is much annoyed by the attention of a
much divorced and adventuresome ac-
tress. The actress is found to be the
divorced wife of the Count, who in reali-
ty is Henry Burns, an actor and also a
fortune hunter, and the playwright again
comes into the good graces of Miss Ad-
am.
The characters are well taken by J. E.
Graham, as the playwright; L. H. Schultz,
as the actress; G. L. Hemminger, as Miss
Adam, and L. S. Raynor, as the bogus
Count, together with a telephone opera-
tor; Azekah Adam, a millionaire from
Eden, Pa.; his wife Petunia and the
waiter.
Levi Lamb, in his part as the waiter,
causes much mirth by his actions with
the invisible accessories of the cafe, and
Raynor, with his specialty songs, will be
subject to many encores.
There are three specialties in the
show: A burlesque, the Mission picture
melodramar, “Tina Cann, the Prune
Eater's daughter” and two of the latest
castle dances, the syncopated walk and
the black and white dance. The burlesque
is a great laugh producer, while the
dances are very gracefully performed.
The chorus, with their catch songs and
new dances, are exceedingly well fitted
for their parts.
The show this year has a complete new
set of scenery and with four changes of
costumes it. can truthfully be said that
this is the best show ever put on by the
Thespians.
The patronesses’ sale of tickets will
{be held at Garman’s store bn Tuesday,
April 6th, at ten a. m. The general sale
will be held on Saturday, April 10th, at
Parrish’s drug store.
WHENCE THE ILLUSION.—The Johns-
town Democrat on Monday contained the
following item:
Illusions which quite a few Center
county farmers entertained regard-
ing fancy prices their livestock would
bring at public sales this spring have
been punctured, according to Wil-
liam Jameson, a farmer and stock-
‘ man, residing near State College,
who visited friends in Johnstown
yesterday. Center county farmers
are especially grieved by the pro-
nounced drop in the price of horses.
Good animals, guaranteed to be
sound, can be purchased at public
auction as low as $135 a head. The
price of cows, steers and sheep like-
wise dropped.
Mr. Jameson evidently didn’t attend
the George Boal Thompson sale at Alto
where horses sold for $180 and cows $70;
or the George Irwin sale at Pennsylva-
nia Furnace where horses went as high
as $250 and cows $95; or the John
Behrer sale on Buffalo Run where one
horse brought $350 and a team $660; or
the Clayton Struble sale at Struble where
horses sold from $240 to $275 and cows
(from $75 to $80; or the Hon. J. W. Kep-
ler sale at Pine grove Mills where horses
brought $250 and cows $70. Mr. Jame-
son is probably correct in his statement
that horses sold as low as $135, but it
was probably because they were not
worth any more. So far as the writer
has been able to learn good horses, good
cows and good hogs brought good prices,
and this is an object lesson to the farm-
ers that even at a public sale it pays to
have good breeds of stock.

club house by tearing down the frame structure
in the rear and building it up of stone, and also

member of the Forestry Commission a number of
years and his diversified knowledge of the moun-
tains and woodlands of the State coupled with
his sound judgment have been of great benefit to
the Commission in its good work of recent years.
In fact Mr. Elliott and J. Linn Harris, of Belle-

ill afford to lose. !
—Clarence Rine, son of Mr. and Mrs. James
Rine, will leave next Monday for Ashland, New

Rine has been employed for some time as an en-
gineer at the plant of the Pennsylvania Match
company and is an industrious and trustworthy
young man. He goes to Ashland at the solici-
tation of Mr. Donachy, who is in need of just
such a capable young man. Mr. Donachy’s busi-
ness as a lolly-pop stick manufacturer is increas-
ing steadily and he now has orders on his books
to keep them running all summer.
—Among the WATCHMAN's esteemed callers on
Saturday was Mr. Charles Lucas, of Run-
ville, who, with his son-in-law, L. J. Heaton,
drove to Bellefonte with James Witmer in the
latter’s car. Mr. Lucas is almost eighty-two
years of age and up until last summer did all
kinds of strenuous work on the farm, following
the plow from early morning to night as any
young man might do. Even now he looks after
the stock and helps with the light work about
the farm. During the past winter he attended
the nine weeks’ revival services at Runville and
was absent from his fayorite pew only four
nights. Mr. Lucas has been a reader. of the
WATCHMAN for one half a century, having taken
it before the present editor, P. Gray Meek, took
charge of the paper. He still enjoys good health
and we hope may: live for years to come.
