THE BELLEFONTE CHAUTAUQUA.—The |
Bellefonte Chautauqua for 1915 will close
this evening with a concert by the Var-'
kony-Hines company and a rendition of :
“The Man from Home” by the Avon |
Players. This afternoon Hon. Joseph W.
Folk, ex-Governor of Missouri, will give |
one of the splendid talks for which he is |
famed all over the country. Prior to his
talk the Varkony-Hines company will
give a half hour concert.
The Chautauqua opened last Saturday
afternoon with an automobile parade of
the Junior Chautauqua, which was quite |
a feature. Capt. Robert F. Hunter chief
marshalled the pageant and about fif-
teen machines filled to overflowing with
ladies and children were in line.
Mrs. Bertha Smith-Titus has been the
superintendent in charge of the Chau-
tauqua this year and has proven very ca-
pable in her position. Her afternoon
talks have been on Chautauqua work as
an uplift for any community, discussed
from a moral, civic and economic stand-
point.
Last Saturday evening Chauncey J.
Hawkins delighted a large audience with
his illustrated lecture on “Bright Eyes
and Wild Hearts of Our Northern
Woods,” giving something entirely dif-
ferent from his lecture here a year ago.
Mr. Hawkins, who is also a reverend,
preached in the Chautauqua tent on
Sunday evening.
Bennett Springer, the magician, and
his Chautauqua entertainers, were con-
sidered very interesting by the audi-
ences which saw and heard them on
Monday afternoon and evening; Mr.
Springer being especially clever in some
of his slight of hand performances.
The big attraction for Tuesday was
Paul M. Pearson’s lecture-recital in the
evening on “Who is Great?” His theme
was based on the selection of Noted
Americans for the Hall of Fame and he
told why those already selected had been
chosen and cited numerous instances of
greatness where the hero was passed by
unrecognized. Mr. Pearson pleased his
audience very much. Another feature
of Tuesday's program was the superb
playing of the Crawford Adams Trio.
Mr. Adams is really a wizard on the vio-
lin, being able to literally make it talk,
while his piano accompanist was a genius
worth hearing.
The music lovers had their inning on
Wednesday in the two concerts by Prof.
Colangelo’s Italian band of twenty pieces.
It was a splendid musical organization
and their solo selections were especially
appreciated.
Yesterday the Boston Oratorio artists
appeared both afternoon and evening,
pleasing their audiences with some of
the old time songs as well as some by
modern song writers. Last evening
Montaville Flowers lectured on “Rebuild-
ing the Temple,” but the WATCHMAN
went to press too early to give a criti-
cism of his lecture.
All in all the Chautauqua was not as
successful this year as it was last year
or the year before. Various causes may
have contributed to this fact. There has
been so much doing in Bellefonte this
summer that the general public did not
get aroused to the right degree of inter-
est in the Chautauqua. Another factor
which might be cited is the lateness of
the harvest season among the farmers.
Last year between "forty and fifty farm.
ers purchased season tickets and were
regular attendants. This year but two
tickets were purchased by one farmer.
The result was an inability to make
; up the guarantee by about three hun-
!dred dollars. This amount was ap-
portioned among the guarantors, or to
be exact, among that number of them
who did not flunk out for one reason or
another, and all paid up.
Notwithstanding the fact that the guar-
antors had todig down in their pockets
and contribute $3.33 each to make up
the guarantee an eftort is being made to
bring the Chautauqua back next year,
Up to last evening pledges were given
for 272 tickets and 27 men and women
had signed as guarantors, while five oth-
ers sent word that they would sign as
guarantors. This is considered very fa-
vorable toward securing a sufficient
quantity of both ticket pledgers and
guarantors, although the outcome will
not be known until after the final meet-
ing this evening.

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA MOTOR CLUB,
—Automobile owners from Tyrone, Al-
toona. Huntingdon, State College and
Philipsburg met in Tyrone on Monday
evening and effected a preliminary or-
ganization of the Central Pennsylvania
Motor club, which will include motorists
i from Blair, Huntingdon and Centre coun-
ties. One of the questions under consid-
eration is the placing of guide posts along
the various highways and at cross roads.
| The proposition under consideration is
to have the boards painted different
colors. For example: Between Altoona
‘and Tyrone the sign board will be white;
! between Tyrone and Bellefonte red; be-
' tween Bald Eagle and Philipsburg, yel-
.low, or some other color, so that all
motorists will have to do is follow a cer-
tain color of sign board to reach the des-
tination desired. The route committee
| selected to have charge of placing the
' boards is composed of H. M. Gray, Ty-
rone, chairman; J. B. Heberling, State
College; E. E. Gibbs, Huntingdon; H.
McD. Loraine, Philipsburg; Robert F.
Hunter, Bellefonte, and J. Emory Shute,
Altoona.

——A twenty foot addition to the water
works smoke stack was built by Lew
Wallace this week.
Monday at the House of Lords on Nitta-
ny mountain, while strolling through the
woods, walked right up to a mother
pheasant with twelve young birds about
the size of a pigeon. The birds were
feeding on huckleberries and were not
very wild. If this is a sample of the
pheasant hatchings this year the birds
ought to be quite plentiful when hunting
season opens.
——When tired out with the cares of
business or housekeeping try an evening
at the Scenic. Nothing like it in Belle-
fonte to drive away the blues and make
you forget all your troubles. High class
motion pictures and a change of program
each evening. Tragedy, drama, comedy
and travel scenes, a variation wide
enough to suit all patrons. Never over
ten cents for the biggest features, with
five cents for the regular program.
——Wahile shifting the Atlantic City
specials around near the Pennsylvania
railroad depot, early Monday morning,
one truck of a coach left the track at
the switch just south of the baggage
room, being shoved along over one hun-
dred feet before the train could be stop-
ped. While the track was not torn up,
the car was damaged to some extent and
the signal apparatus put out of commis-
sion. The wreck train from Tyrone re-
paired the damage.
——Don’t overlook the fact that to-
morrow will be the day for the Ben Greet
players at State College, matinee in the
afternoon and a performance at night.
The “Taming of the Shrew” will be the
program for the afternoon and “Twelfth
Night” in the evening. Weather per-
mitting both plays will be given on the
front campus. This will afford a good
opportunity for automobilists to make
the trip to the College and take in one
or both of the above performances.
——While James L. McGonigal, of Pot-
tersdale, and Samuel Briel, of Karthaus,
were on their way from Karthaus to
Snow Shoe in the former's Ford car, last
Friday morning, the car caught fire.
Both men fought the flames and suc-
ceeded in extinguishing them but not be-
fore the top was burned off and the body
badly scarred. Both men were badly |
burned on the hands and were compelled
to seek the services of a physician be-
fore they could continue their journey to
Lock Haven by train.

——The subscription dance given by
the young people of Bellefonte, in the
armory last Thursday evening, proved a
pronounced success. Guests were pres-
ent from Lock Haven, Altoona, Tyrone,
Lewistown, Snow Shoe and State Col-
lege, making up one of the largest gather-
ings that has attended such a select
dance in Bellefonte in a number of years.
The music of the Wright Saxaphone or-
chestra, of Columbus, Ohio, was an in-
novation in Bellefonte dances that prov-
ed quite a diversion from the customary
orchestra selections.
——Just 545 tickets were sold at the
Bellefonte depot Saturday for the excur-
sion to Atlantic City over the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. In fact the first section
of the train was completely filled and did
not stop anywhere for excursionists after
leaving Bellefonte. The second section
went out of Bellefonte with ten cars
drawn by two engines. At Lemont 197
tickets were sold and every station down
Pennsvalley contributed a good quota.
The first section arrived in Atlantic City
at 5.30 o'clock Sunday morning. Return-
ing the train left the sea shore at five
o’clock Sunday evening and arrived in
Bellefonte at 1.30 Monday morning. No
accidents occurred to mar the trip.

—Farmers in some portions of Cen-
tre county, at least, are up against a
serious proposition on account of the
continued wet weather. The showers
are so frequent and hard that the wheat
don’t get a chance to dry sufficient to
haul into the barn and there is grave
danger of it starting to grow in the
shock. Then the oats is ready to cut
but the crop is so heavy that the hard
rains have knocked down big patches of
it, so that it will be hard to cut. The
lucky farmers are those who did not cut
their grass before harvesting. The wet
weather has kept it green and growing
and the yield now will be from one to
two tons an acre more than it would
have been had it been cut a month ago.
Both corn and potatoes are looking fine,
but warmer weather and not so much
rain would be better all around for the
farmer.
a
——Tomorrow, July 31st, will mark
the close of the trout fishing season in
Pennsylvania and it did not prove to be
over-fruitful with results in this section.
The season opened with low streams and
unusually clear water and when rain did
come there was so much of it that the
streams have been too high and most of
the time quite cloudy ever since. At
that a number of nice catches were made
by fishermen who were persistent enough
to spend lots of time on the good trout
streams. And the trout that weren't
caught will be there to help out the stock
next year. And now that the trout season
is about over,and the thoroughbred sports-
man begins to pack away his rod and
line until next season rolls around, there
is a strong probability that he will look
up his hunting paraphernalia, as the very
fact that County Treasurer John D.
Miller has received his hunters’ licenses
shows that the hunting season will be
here before we realize it.

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.—Centre county
was visited by three terrific rain storms
on Monday afternoon and evening which
not only put the farmers back another
day in their harvesting but caused con-
siderable damage in some parts of the
county. The afternoon storm was ac-
companied by a large amount of hail in
some sections of the county, especially
along Nittany mountain and down Nit-
tany valley. The oats were knocked flat
to the ground and corn fields riddled.
Up the Fishing creek Narrows hail fell
as large as walnuts and in such abund-
ance that camping parties aver it could
be scooped up by the handful. In that
section even the leaves on the trees were
torn in shreds by the hail.
In little Sugar valley the rain and hail
storm was the most terrific and destruc.
tive witnessed there in years. It lasted
for a half hour or over and during all
that time hail fell as large as black wal-
nuts, practically destroying the oats and
corn.
promising in that valley they were so
damaged by the hail that only a small
per cent of the crops can be saved.
At Clintondale the residence of J. L.
Rachau, the miller, was struck by light- |
ning which ripped the weather boards off
the north side of the building, tore down :
the moulding and plaster, leaving the
rooms on the first floor covered with
debris. The concrete top on the cistern
was broken into bits but fortunately the
lightning bolt was what is generally term- |
ed a “cold stroke,” and no fire followed.
Mr. R,
Mrs. Rachau was in
and although she was
she escaped serious inj
an upstairs room
slightly stunned
ury.
