Harris celebrated his eighty-third birthday anniversary yester- day and quite a shower of post cards was sent him to Atlantic City, where he is making a brief sojourn. ——There were four wagons at the <urb market on Tuesday morning, but buyers were scarce as few housekeep- ers anticipated such a lavish offering of fresh fruits and vegetables. ——Howard Smead, who for over a year has been badly afflicted with rheum- atism in his ankles, left last Friday for Mt. Clemens, Mich., where he hopes to to get the disease baked out of him. ——Ordinarly it rains when our colored brethren hold a picinc but their gather- ing at Hecla park on Wednesday broke the hoodoo that Jupiter Pluvius has been holding over us during the past month and gave us a little bit of nice weather, with sunshine and no rain. ——At an informal evening party to be given by Mrs. C. M. Bricker tonight, at her home on Bishop street, announce- ment will be made of the engagement of ‘her daughter, Miss Lillian C. Williams and Lewis H. Brown, of York.

Mr. Blair is owner of what is known as the upper Sellers farm on Buffalo Run, but retired from active work a year or so ago. Since last fali he has been with his son at Wilkinsburg. ——At the festival given by the Miles- burg base ball team and Our Boys band, last Saturday evening, the net receipts amounted to $90.00. T:!e amount would probably have been larger had not a hard rain put an end to th. outdoor festivities and also interfered with the auctioning off of the big cakes, forty of which had been contributed by the enthusiastic ladies, both young and old, of Milesburg. ~~——While roller skating down Spring ‘street last Saturday, Ruth McGinley, the nine-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip McGinley, of Sparrows Point, Md., -and who has been spending the summer ‘with Bellefonte relatives, tripped and fell ‘on the stone pavement, cutting a gash across the forehead that required the “services of two physicians and a dozen “stitches to close. Her face was also bad- tly ‘bruised. ——Mail carrier Robert Woodring has started a bee farm in his garden on east Howard street. At least he received a swarm of bees by express on Monday and installed them in a hive in the rear of his house. Mr. Woodring is a faith- ful mail carrier, an expert gardener and a handy man in various ways but he has yet to prove his ability as a bee cultur- ist, especially when it comes to taming them so they will grow to be real friend. ly with the members of his family as well as his neighbors. ——Among recent purchasers of Ford cars were the McCoy & Linn Iron com- pany, which bought a car for presi- dent Edmund Blanchard’s use in going from Bellefonte to the plant at Milesburg and to the ore mines at Gates- burg; and Hiram Fetterhoff, messenger at the Centre County bank. The latter has been taking lessons during evenings for some time past and when he receives his car, which he anticipates doing with- in a week, he expects to be able to jump right in and take the joy ride of his life. ‘Of course Mrs. Fetterhoff will be with him. i! CLOSE OF CHAUTAUQUA.—The Belle- | : fonte Chautauqua for 1915 closed on Fri- | day evening with one of the largest audi- ences of the week, which congregated to hear the entertainment by the Avon players. There was considerable disap- pointment among theticket holders over the non-appearance of ex-Governor Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, on Friday afternoon, as many were looking forward to his lecture as a fitting climax to the week’s feast of good things. But that gentleman was called very unexpectedly to Washington on important business and was unable to get here. To make up in part for his absence Dr. A. E. Turner, who was superintendent in charge of the Bellefonte Chautauqua last year, came here from Jersey Shore and gave one of his timely lectures. The Chautauqua | tent and paraphernalia was torn down and loaded on the car Friday night and Saturday was transported to Galeton,Pot- ter county, where itis in full swing this week. Through the efforts of a number of Bellefonters who have faith in the good that is to be derived from a week’s stay in Bellefonte arrangements were ~made to bring the Chautauqua back next year. A list of fifty-four guarantors was secur- ed and almost four hundred tickets pledg- ed. While thisis not up to what has been pledged in past years, it is believed that when next year rolls around there ‘will not be as much difficulty in meeting the obligation as there was this year. To further the interests of the Chau- tauqua for next year a permanent organ- ization was formed by electing Dr. A. M_ Schmidt, president; Miss Overton, secre- tary, and Jonas A. Wagner, treasurer. AUTOMOBILISTS MUST STOP SPEEDING IN BELLEONTE.—The Bellefonte authori- ties have at last decided to put an end to the speeding of automobiles through Bellefonte and especially going up the Bishop street hill. Last week three State College drivers and two Bellefonte motorists were notified that they had exceeded the speed limit on Bishop street and.were to appear before a justice of the peace and pay the stipulated fine and costs or warrants would be issued for their arrest. Another Bellefonter was also notified to appear before the justice on the charge of running up Bish- op street with his cut-out open. It is understood that the campaign which was started on Bishop street last week is to be made good throughout the town. The Bellefonte authorities want it understood that there is nothing mer- cenary about this action, neither is it be- ing taken in a spirit of meanness, but only as safeguarding the lives of the children of Bellefonte and the peace and interests of its citizens. Time after time warnings have been given automobilists that they must keep somewhere near within the speed limit drivers of cars have paid no attention to all the warnings given. And Bishop street, because of its smooth condition and the long hill, seems to be one place on which the speed laws have been brok- en beyond all reason. And now that a start has been made toward breaking up the practice there should be no let up. ee gg IN JAIL FOR POSTING BLACK HAND LET- TERS.—On going to his barn on the morn- ing of the 30th of January, 1915, W. C. Thompson, of Howard, was confronted with a black hand letter tacked on the door, demanding that he pay over to Frank Colobine a certain sum of money within three days or his barn would be burned. As a sequel to the above Paul B. Swartz,of Howard, now languishes in the Centre county jail awaiting trial at the next term of court, and so far has been unable to get any one to bail him out. When the black hand letter was dis- covered all possible efforts were made to locate the writer, but without avail, and all might have gone well with Mr. Swartz had not Frank Colobine made a profes- sion of religion. This was Swartz’s un- doing because Colobine then made a confession in which he told that he saw Swartz write the letter the same evening it was posted on Mr. Thompson’s barn. Acting upon this information Mr. Thomp- son last Friday swore out a warrant for Swartz’s arrest, which was made that day by John F. Donohoe, a member of the state constabulary. Mr. Swartz was given a hearing before justice of the peace A. A. Pletcher, at Howard, and in default of suitable bail was sent to jail. GEHRET & LAMBERT GET CONTRACT FOR NEW FISH HATCHERY BUILDING. — Gehret & Lambert were on Monday awarded the contract for the erection of the new fireproof hatchery building at the Bellefonte fish hatchery, the contract price being $8,500. At the regular let- ting three weeks ago a bid of $7,500 was submitted by a Bellefonte contractor and the award was made to him, but later he notified the Fish Commissioner that he could not fulfill the contract. Geh- ret & Lambert being the next lowest bidders were consequently awarded the contract. The building will be of brick and con- crete with a fireproof roof and will be erected where the present building now stands. The old building will be torn down this week and the contract calls for the completion of the new building in one hundred working days. Work on the same will be started at once. Shipment of year old trout from the Bellefonte hatchery will be started this month, applications from persons here- abouts for stocking the local streams being first on the list. During Septem- ber and October shipments will be made to other parts of the State. while running through town, but many | i ——With potatoes selling at seventy- five cents a barrel in New Jersey and Delaware, and Delaware peaches at twenty-five cents a basket, with both so plentiful the growers don’t know what to do with them, why is it that Bellefonte | merchants have not been able to take advantage of the low prices and get a shipment of both potatoes and peaches ? ——The United States weather bureau is now utilizing the motion pictures to distribute weather bulletins throughout the country. Manager T. Clayton Brown has not yet introduced this service at the Scenic but he offers a program of mov- ing pictures every night that will hold your attention from the time you enter until you leave. He is now showing the very best of the Charlie Chaplin pictures as well as many big features. ——Troop L, of the National Guard cavalry contingent, arrived home from their eight day’s encampment at Mt. Gretna shortly before noon on Saturday. Though they were dusty from the work of breaking camp and the trip home, and rather tired, every man returned in good shape and not an accident in the Troop marred the pleasure of the encampment. Several men were overcome by the heat but Dr. Huff put them on their pins in short order. wm ermnel © pin ——Now that the Bellefonte Chautau- qua is over we will have a brief breath- ing spell before the Centre county fair, the Granger's picnic, the opening of the public schools, Bellefonte Academy and the Pennsylvania State College with the consequent inrush of the football season. ‘And then there is the hunting season coming on apace. When everything is taken into consideration we wonder how in the world European countries can waste the time in fighting. ——Horace Patterson, of Oak Hall, was arrested on Tuesday and brought to the Centre county jail on the charge of mak- ing away with a horse belonging to Philip Dale. The young man was working for Mr. Dale on the farm. One evening last week he rode away on a horse and re- turned alone. He claimed the horse ran away and he could not find him. Failing to get any trace of the animal Mr. Dale had a warrant issued for Patterson’s ar- rest and he was brought to the county jail. ——The six weeks summer course for teachers will come toa close at State College the latter part of next week, and the 1003 young men and women—mostly women—who have been taking the course will disperse to their homes for a fortnight’s rest before the opening of the fall session of their schools. The summer school at the College this year far ex- ceeded that of any former year, which shows that many teachers prefer the lec- tures and instruction at State to those of any other institution. ,oo- —Shortly after eating supper on Sunday evening Mr. and Mrs. Charles Workman, of Hecla park, became vio lently ill and it developed that they had been poisoned in some way. As they had eaten nothing that could have re. sulted, in ptomaine poisoning they both believe that the poison was in the coffee, but how it got there is an inexplicable mystery. It took Mr. Workman twenty- four hours to fully recover from the ef- fects of the poisoning while Mrs. Work- man was ill several days. ay. ——Another terrific rain and electrical storm passed over Bellefonte and parts of Centre county early Sunday morning, but aside from the hard downpour of rain and fierce thunder and lightning no especial damage was done. According to the weather wise who pin their faith on Virgin Mary we will have another week of wet weather. While the frequent hard rains have considerably interfered with the harvesting and hay making, they have kept the springs and streams well filled so that there is hardly any like- lihood of a drought this summer. ELLE -— pn ——More express matter on the aver age is now transferred at the Bellefonte depot of the Penna. railroad than ever before. Truck loads of it are handled every day from the trains on the Lewisburg railroad and the Bellefonte Central. The latter is mostly from State College but from the Lewisburg the big shipping points are Coburn, Spring Mills, Centre Hall and from the western penitentiary at Rockview. The latter is mostly gar- den supplies and fruits shipped to Pitts- burgh for the prisoners in the institution there. From the other stations come fruit and berries, butter and eggs, poul- try, etc. Most of the shipments are to Altoona, Johnstown and Pittsburgh, though there are miscellaneous ship- ments to other towns. ——The Woman's Liberty Bell, which is now making a tour of Pennsylvania, will come into Centre county tomorrow at noon at Potters Mills, when a recep- tion committee in automobiles will meet it going with it from there to Centre Hall, Boalsburg, State College and Lemont, reaching here about six o'clock. From six until seven the bell will be on exhibi- tion at the High school building, where all the school children are invited for an informal reception. At half after seven it will be taken to the Diamond for a public meeting, at which the speakers will be from the National, State and loca] organizations. Everyone, be they friends or foes of the suffrage bell, is asked to see it and hear the speakers, who are J working so enthusiastically for the wom- en of Pennsylvania. | 1 { { { EE —A ten acre field of wheat on the !
