CLEANING-UP
CREASES.—One of the best meetings yet
held in the interest of Bellefonte’s Old
Home week was that of Tuesday even-
ing in the grand jury room. As evi-

whatever they can to make the week a
success.
President Edmund Blanchard told that
an effort is being made to have the
Liberty bell stop for a few hours in Belle-
fonte on one day during the week. The
bell is scheduled to leave Philadelphia
July 6th or 7th on its trip to San Francis-
co to the Pan-American exposition.
| Naturally there are thousands of
applications for stops en route, and a
large number are from Pennsylvania
towns. Representatives of Bellefonte’s
Old Home week are going to press Belle-
fonte’s claims unusually strong, emphasiz-
ing to the committee which will have
the making up of the Bell’s itinerary the
point that the proposed celebration will
be in honor of the one hundredth anni-
versary of the birth of Pennsylvania’s
Old War Governor, Andrew G. Curtin,
together with the fact that Bellefonte is
widely known as the “Home of Govern-
ors.” Of course it will be some time yet
before anything definite will be known,
but in the meantime every effort will be
put forth to have the Bell here.
Believing that it is as easy to bring
down big game as little if you have the
proper weapons and ammunition an
effort will also be made to have Presi-
dent Wilson pay Bellefonte a brief visit
during the week. The President is
scheduled for a trip west along about
July 6th or 8th and has arranged for
several stops in Pennsylvania. It is just
possible, if the matter were put to him
in a convincing way, that he could ar-
range to leave Washington a train earlier
than now proposed and visit Bellefonte.

prove highly successful and show early

every person in Centre county will be
interested. Watch for the Old Home

The Parade committee reported pro-
gress and everything in shape to go
ahead as soon as apprised of the budget
at its disposal. An effort will be made
to have Adjutant General Stewart detail
some troops here for the military pa-
rade.
The Amusement committee was una-
ble to report anything definite owing to
the fact that Brady, of the New York
Hippodrome, who was to have been in
Bellefonte Tuesday, was unavoidably de-
tained on account of the illness of his
wife. But as planned now the amuse-
ments will include a street carnival to be
located on north Water street from High
street down to and beyond the City laun-
dry; on High street between the court
house and’Garman hotel; on south Alle-
gheny street from Bishop to Logan; on
Penn street from Bishop to Mallory’s
blacksmith shop, and on Lamb street
from the Central Railroad of Pennsylva-
nia to Allegheny street, with merry-go-
rounds, razzle-dazzles, etc, on the High
school grounds.

speakers, suggested inviting Lieutenant

students have voted to hold a big dance
in the armory next Thursday evening,
and on Friday and Saturday evenings
will have dances in the Logan hall, so
that the week will be a red-letter affair
for the Academy students.
STRONGHEART A SUCCESS-—The Belle-
fonte High school students scored a big
success in their rendition of “Strong-
heart” at the opera house last Friday
evening. The house was crowded and
the audience was a most appreciative
one, as the various amateur actors and
actresses were not only liberally applaud-
ed and frequently brought back onto the
stage with vociferous encores, but many
of them were literally showered with
bouquets. The gross receipts for the
night were $229.21, and as the expense
was very reasonable, a nice little sum
was realized.
Too much credit cannot be given Miss
Maude Baer, an instructor in the High
school, who had charge of the play and
drilled the young people in their various
parts. She is an adept in this line of
work and her very best efforts were put
forth on this occasion. In fact all those
who saw the play speak very enthusias-
tically of it, and would like to have it
repeated at some convenient date. Of
the young people who took part in the
play it would be unfair to particularize,
as each one played his or her part up to
the standard of its greatness.
The leading characters were Catherine

the United States district court at Sun-
bury on Wednesday for absconding with
$626 of postoffice money from the Pleas-
ant Gap postoffice, details of which were
published in the WATCHMAN at the time.
But when Mr. Coble was indicted he was
not there to hear it, as thus far he has
managed to elude the officers of the law,
notwithstanding the information given
out two weeks ago that he had been ar-
rested in Newark, N. J.

Mrs. John S. Waite, of Lock Haven, and
a nephew of Darius Waite, of Bellefonte,
and who is a Senior at Harvard medical
college, Boston, has been appointed by

Servia in answer to a cablegram from
Dr. Richard Strong as assistant to Dr.

Saturday of next week and in addition to

years of service with the Pennsylvania

can to make the Old Home week a suc-

The movement of the Old Home
week committee to have the Liberty Bell
stop in Bellefonte might possibly be suc-
cessful. As the .route over which the
Bell is to travel westward is fixed on the
P. R. R. lines it means that it will be at
least as near as Tyrone or Lock Haven.
Already Councilman Ira D. Garman, Wil-
liam W. Curtin and other men of influ-
ence in Philadelphia are pressing Belle-
fonte’s claim to a glimpse of the historic
relic and while it seems like a big thing
to get there is a very good chance of
landing it.

and is well known in military circles
throughout the State.
