A LECTURE ON THE FLAG.—The Belle-
fonte Chapter D. A. R. has invited Mrs.
Isabel Worrell Ball to come here on June
15th to give her address on the United
States flag. Mrs. Ball is associate editor
of the National Tribune, of Washington,
D. C., and is authority on the subject of
the flag. She is invited to all parts of
the country to give her lecture. So many
desecrations are reported to the state
chairman that she feels the need of teach-
ing the masses to respect and revere the
flag.
The Bellefonte Daughters of the
American Revolution will hold an open
meeting on the above date and cordially
invite the G. A. R., Spanish-American
soldiers, Troop L, historical societies and
the public in general to hear Mrs. Ball.
Children over twelve years only will be
welcome.
The Daughters provide this opportunity
free of cost so that one and all will want
to come to learn more of our flag's his-
tory. They urge you to be present on
June 15th. i
Mrs. James Coburn is the Bellefonte
Chapter member of the Flag committee
and Miss Overton is a member of the
national committee; also state chairman
to prevent desecration of the flag. They |
will be glad to receive information, sug-
gestions and assistance to further the |
work of protecting our flag.
Miss Overton received word on Tues-
day from Hon. H. B. Scott, Representa-
tive from Centre Co., to the effect that
Governor Brumbaugh had signed the flag
resolution, which means that the Legisla-
ture will print 50,000 copies of the Penn- |
sylvania flag law for distribution.
The Senate will take 10,000, the House |
10,000 and the remaining 30,000 will be
given to the Pennsylvania Daughters of
the American Revolution to further their
work along the line of protecting the
United States flag. ;
To Hon. Scott belongs the credit of the
passage of this Resolution. He was
enthusiastically interested in it from
the time that Miss Overton ap-
pealed to him for his services in its be-
half, and followed it until the Governor
signed it.
The D. A. R. deeply appreciates this
assistance because of the good that will
result from it.
Further notice of the open meeting
later.
——Philadelphia has a Woman's Dem-
ocratic club which has taken up the fight
for woman suffrage and last Saturday
they had a monster parade which was
largely featured by the press of that
city. On Thursday, May 20th, they will
celebrate Dolly Madison day with a meet-
ing and luncheon at the Hotel Walton.
A number of former Centre county wom-
en belong to the club and they are anx-
ious to interest as many women as possi-
ble throughout the State in what they
believe a very laudable movement. Es-
pecially would they like to have the
women in some way observe Dolly Madi-
son day. Any person desiring further
information can communicate with Mrs.
A. Elizabeth W. Smith, 1503 Walnut
street, Philadelphia.
——H. Walton Mitchell Esq., of Pitts-
burgh, has been selected to make the
commencement address to the graduat-
ing class at State College in June. Mr.
Mitchell is a graduate of State, class of
1890, and was recently elected president
of the Board of Trustees as successor to
the late Gen. James A. Beaver. This
will be the first time that ever -an alum-
nus has been selected to deliver the com-
mencement address, but we'll wager that
Mr. Mitchell will be as well worth hear-
ing as most of the long titled gentlemen
who have orated at the college com-
mencements in recent years.
——On Thursday of last week deputy
state fire marshall Thomas G. Ryan ar"
rested Harry Neubauer, Daniel Milson
and Anton Neubauer, of Allport, and re-
arrested Herman Moyer, of Philipsburg,
on charges connected with the burning
of the Allport Supply company. The
men were interested in the ownership of
the building and its contents, and the
charge is burning with intent to defraud.
An insurance of $2,500 was carried on
the building and $3,000 on the stock.
Each of the men was held in $1,500 bail
for trial at court.
——A fair-sized audience assembled in
the court house last Friday evening to
hear Miss Minnie Bronson, the anti-suf-
frage lecturer. Miss Bronson is a fluent
talker and presented her arguments in
an interesting and intelligent manner,
but, while her hearers were entertained
by her talk it is doubtful if she made
one convert either for or against suffrage,
as it is a question on which the majority
of the people have already made up their
minds.
——High street was last week oiled
from the Diamond to the brick paving
near the bridge and north and south
Water street was oiled for quite a dis-
tance from High street, which cannot
fail to abate the dust nuisance to a con-
siderable extent. It will also serve as a
good preservative for the surface of the
reconstructed High street. Allegheny
street was also oiled from Linn street
to the brick paving at Parrish’s drug
: Piittsburgh, was professor of English at
! right is to be born well. It is a constant
store.
A Hoopoo Lamp.—Mrs. Willis Wion, :
of east Lamb street, has a Rochester '
lamp that is considerable of a hoodoo so |
far as breaking lamp globes is concern- |
ed. In less than three weeks five ordi- |
nary globes exploded on the lamp and |
the peculiar part of it is, that they all |
exploded along about four or five o'clock |
in the afternoon, when the lamp was not |
lit and no one was near it. Believing it |
to be merely a case of inferior globes
Mrs. Wion last week purchased from |
George Chambers, one of his indestrucible |
globes, the kind you can throw on the
floor, stand upon, drive nails with, etc,
feeling confident that that would end the
explosion business. Sunday night when
Mr. and Mrs. Wion retired between nine
and ten o’clock they carried the lamp up
stairs. It was duly extinguished and the
family fell asleep. Shortly after mid-
night they were awakened by an explo-
sion that sounded like a cannon cracker
and really shook the house. Jumping
out of bed Mr. Wion struck a match and
found that the “indestrucible” lamp globe
had exploded with such force as to be
literally blown to atoms. And this took
place three hours after the light in the
lamp had been extinguished. Now if
any of the WATCHMAN’S readers can give
a scientific and understandable reason
for the above Mr. and Mrs. Wion will
doubtless be glad to hear it.

There is a saying that “man’s first
reproach to motherhood to see a puny, |
pining baby grow to be a puling, peevish |
boy. It is a reproach because proper |
preparation and care will give the moth-
er the health without which she cannot
have a healthy child. The use of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a pre-
parative for the baby’s coming gives the
mother abundant health. The birth hour
is practically painless, and the mother re-
joices in a hearty child. This is the testi-
mony of many women who never raised
a child until they used “Favorite Prescrip-
tion.”
