While our article mentioned Miles- burg it was meant merely as a point of designation and not as confining the workers to that borough or detracting H. L. CURTIN Buys ScoTiA ORE MINES. —The deal was closed this week whereby H. Laird Curtin became the purchaser of the Scotia ore mines. The property in- cludes three hundred acres of ground on which are located the well known ore mines. Mr. Curtin has also taken over the ore right on three hundred addition- al acres adjoining the Scotia property. Of course, the purchase does not include any machinery, as that was all sold some time ago. Naturally Mr. Curtin bought the property for the ore that is on it’ but this does not mean that he intends putting up machinery and mining ore right away, though it is only a natural conclusion that some day, either in the near future or later, he will install up-to- date machinery and put the mines in operation. MEMORIAL DAY IN BELLEFONTE.—Mon- day was an ideal day for holding memo- rial services in honor of the nation’s he- roic dead, and the observance in Belle- fonte was probably more universal than it has been for years. In the forenoon a committee of ladies consisting of Mrs. John Noll, Mrs. S. E. Satterfield, Miss Florence Jacobs, Mrs. Florence ‘Nealis» Mrs. Hunter Knisely, Mrs. $. A. Young and Miss Catherine Steele met at Gregg Post rooms and made up 253 bouquets, one for the grave of each soldier buried in the Union cemetery. The memorial services were held in the afternoon. The parade formed on the Diamond at 1.15 o’clock and was com- posed as follows: Troop L, mounted, Bellefonte band, Undine fire company, Y. M. C. A. boy scouts, school children, Lieut. George L. Jackson Camp Spanish- American war veterans, and Gregg Post, No. 95, G. A. R,; a number of ' the veter- ans being in automobiles. At thé cemetery gate the parade divided and the men stood with uncovered heads while the veterans passed between the ranks and took the lead. In the cemetery the usual G. A. R. services were held by S. B. Miller, Com- maunder, after which the soldier’s graves were decorated. Special services were held at the graves of Governor Curtin, Governor Beaver, Governor Hastings and Lieut. Geo. L. Jackson, the latter by members of the new Camp of Spanish war veterans. The decoration services. over the parade reformed and marched to the Diamond where it disbanded and the crowd gathered in the court house to hear the memorial address by Dr- George E. Hawes. Dr. Hawes made a most interesting address, his theme throughout being the debt of honor this countrv owes the old soldier. . All of our boasted prosperity of the last forty years is due in a great measure to the men who fought for the preservation of the Union a half century ago, and no amount of homage or esteem that can be paid to their memory today will make up for the suffering and priva- tions of those four years of civil strife. When the parade disbanded in this place Capt. W. H. Brown and Troop L rode to State College to take part in the exercises there. It was a long, hard ride for the boys and they were pretty tired by the time they got there, but they were amply rewarded by the lunch and re- freshments served ‘them by the P. O. S. of A,, of State College. The Troop re- turned to Bellefonte late in the evening, Following is a list of those who furnish- ed flowers for decoration purposes in Bellefonte: ‘ . Jack Montgomery, Mrs, Crust, Mrs. Beckwith, Mrs. Shuey, Marion Kane; Mary Eckenroth, Laura Taylor, Richard Taylor, John Raymond, Viola Miller, Martha Johnson, Richard Noll, Jacob Yeager, Paul Foreman, Mahl n Foreman, Mrs. Jacobs, James Shope, Clarence Turner, rison, Sarah Martin, Maria Gardner, Eva Gor- don. MEMORIAL DAY AT STATE COLLEGE. Very impressive memorial services ‘were held at State College at five o’clock on Monday evening. In the parade were Troop L, of Bellefonte, one company of College cadets, the Cadet band, P. O. S. of A., the Sons of Veterans, the Boals- burg band, school children and the com- pany of Boy Scouts. The large gather- ing marched to ‘the tomb of the late lamented George W. Atherton, in the rear of the Schwab auditorium, where the services were held. The school children sang a patriotic song and Prof. Marsh- ‘man recited “Barbara Fritchie” with a German brogue. Col. D. F. Fortney de- livered the memorial address from the steps of Old Main to one of the largest crowds ever attending similar services at the College. , PENITENTIARY NEWS.—Affairs at the new penitentiary at Rockview this spring ‘have been something like conductor Pat Flanigan’scurt report to the railroad superintendent: “Off again, on again, gone again —Flanigan.” Last Saturday morning an order was received from Pittsburg to close down tight and keep closed until further notice. The order created considerable conster- nation and while -no reason was given, everybody knew it was because the Gov- ernor had not signed the appropriation bill of $300,000 passed by the last Legis- lature. Late Tuesday night, however, the Governor signed the bill, and yester- day work was again resumed. And now that the matter of the appropriation has been settled itis probable that operations will continue without as much uncertain- ty and consequent interruptions. ——— ler ae. ——Don't forget that Tuesday of next one iota from residents of the township, week will be show day in Bellefonte.

General Beaver was a graduate of W. & J. and for many years was president of the general alumni association. ——1It is pretty difficult to tell the qual- ity of a motion picture from the advance advertising and the gaily colored litho- graphs. Probably very few people in Bellefonte who saw “Who Pays” ad- vertised at the Scenic last week gave it more than a passing thought and yet it was one of the strongest pictures pre- sented there for some time. All of which bears out our oft-repeated assertion that if you miss one evening at the Scenic you are liable to miss something unus- ually goor”, ——At the regular May meeting of the Woman's Club, held in the High school building Monday night, the following officers were elected.

Brouse, chairman Charity committee; Miss Lillian Smith, auditor. and Miss Aiken, member at large. ——William G. RunkleEsq., is now the possessor of a small town, as last week he purchased thirteen houses at Scotia, once the property of the Bellefonte Fur- nace company. He has not yet decided what to do with them but some of his friends suggest that in order to commem- orate his name he move them onto one of his farms and establish a town of Runkleville. Of course the “friends” are willing to allow him the privilege of se- lecting his own location for the farm, just as long as it is sanitary, with good drainage and not too far from the coun- ty seat. t ; ——On Saturday of last week Robert Sechler went to Mifflinburg to fix up the ‘grave of his wife for Memorial day. Hav- ing completed the work he was return- ing from the cemetery to the railroad station when he came to a small stream over which there was a foot log. He stepped on the log, which proved to be very slippery, his feet slipped and he got abad fall. He fell on his right shoulder: tearing the ligaments and, it is feared, | breaking a bone, but he is now waiting for an X-ray plate to have a photograph taken so as to find out just whatis Dr. and Mrs. J.

Frank Smith chairman of the music committee to take the place of Geo. R. Meek, resigned. Communications have been received from a large number of good bands to come here for the week, but the senti- ment is in favor of securing the services . of Centre county bands, so far as possi- ble. The Beliefonte Lodge of Odd Fel- lows have arranged to have the band from the Odd Fellows’ orphanage at Sun- bury here all week. Chairman Blanchard reported that negotiations are now under way with the Pennsylvania railroad company for ' special train service during the week and there is no doubt but that satisfactory arrangements will be completed. Mr. Blanchard also reported for Col. Taylor that the Parade committee is getting its work in shape and that prizes will be awarded fire com- panies and bands, which come here for ; Monday’s big parade. In this connect: | tion he stated that two fire companies, of ' Philipsburg, are arranging to be here. President Blanchard stated that the ' Finance committee expected’ to make a { thorough canvass of the town this week : and by next meeting night it would like- iy be possible to apportion out the budg- et. There being no other business be- . fore the house Mr. Blanchard announced i the meeting adjourned. Boy HURT By 'Auto.—Boyd Hunter, Boyd Hunter, of Axe Mann, was knocked down and run over, last Thursday after- noon, by an automobile driven by Ogelsby ; J. McNitt, of Milroy; but, although badly | injured, the attending physician gives hope of the boy’s recovery. fonte while the Hunter boy and a com- { panion were hanging on the rear end of Just opposite the school house the Hunter McNitt was passing the wagon. The boy ed over his abdomen. Mr. McNitt stop- ped as quickly as possible, picked the boy up and sent him to the hospital. It was at first feared he was fatally in- jured but he has improved enough the past day or two to give hope of his recov- ery. And naturally his parents are re- joiced, for of five sons in the family four of them have met death through ac- cidents. Mr. McNitt is entirely blameless so far as he figured in the accident, as he had no way of knowing the boy was there until he ran in front of his ma- chine, and then it was utterly impossible to avoid hitting him. - aoe AcADEMY NEWs.—The Bellefonte Acad- emy will close on Friday of next week and as a last social event of the school year the students have arranged for a big assembly and dance in the armory on Tuesday night. The Lyric orchestra, of Lock Haven, has been engaged for the occasion. : The Academy baseball team will play their last games next Wednesday and Thursday when the Chinese University nine will be their opponents. Practically the same team has played here the past two seasons and Bellefonte fans are well aware of their prowess as ball players. It will also be the last opportunity to see the Academy team in action and there ought to be a large crowd out for each game. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mrs. George Boal, of Washington, D.
