ed that Mr. Lentz was entitled to a sil-
ver mounted conductor's lantern, but he
preferred not to take it. The chest of
silver was then sent to Mrs. Lentz with
notice that something useful would fol-
low for Mr. Lentz in the near future.
LY ATTENDED. — Pennsylvania day ex-
ercises at State College last Friday drew
been present on a similar occasion since
the day was inaugurated. In addition to
| the hundreds who went to the College on
automobiles. Governor Martin G. Brum-
baugh accompanied by his brother and
Hon. Cyrus E. Woods, Secretary of the
the opening exercises.
The first thing on the program was
the dedication of the new mining build-
ing. The principal speaker was H. M.
ell, of Pittsburgh, president of the Board
of Trustees. The first speaker was Carl
S. Vrooman, assistant secretary of the
would soon outstrip all other States in
scientific farming by reason of the coun-
ty agricultural bureaus in charge of ex-
perts whose duty it is to instruct the
farmers in modern methods of farming.
Twenty-three counties now have such
bureaus.
In his speech Governor Brumbaugh
emphasized the importance of young men
acquiring a large outlook in life, which
can only be attained by hard work ap-
plied daily. “The finest contribution you
can make to State College and the Com-
monwealth which nurtures this College,”
said the Governor, “is to lend yourselves
to a useful career. If you work hard and
pray together, you can make Pennsyl-
vania the cleanest, sweetest, holiest place
in which children shall be born and men
and women live.”
Luncheon was served the Governor
and prominent guests in the ladies cot-
tage by the young women in the depart-
ment of Home Economics, the menu be-
ing of the young ladies own selection and
preparation. Following luncheon the
Governor reviewed the cadet batallion
while fifteen hundred Sophomores and
Freshmen gave an exhibition drill on
east Beaver field. The Governor pre-
sented a prize sword in honor of the
late General Beaver to Company B, which
had the highest rating in military effi-
ciency.
The new State Agricultural Commis-
sion made its first official inspection of
the College during the day. Included in
the party were Hon. Charles E. Patton,
Secretary of Agriculture; H. V. White,
of Bloomsburg, chairman of the Commis-
sion; Henry T. Moon, Morrisville; Frank
B. Black, Meyersdale; Morris T. Philips,
Pomeroy; M. E. Bushong, Quarryville;
A. J. Gilfillan, Smethport, and L. B. Sex-
ton, Rome.
The big event in’ the afternoon was
the State-Lehigh football game on Beav-
er field, which was won by State by the
small score of 7 to 0. It was one of the
hardest fought games ever witnessed at
the College.
As a social side of the affair there were
house parties and dances galore and the
1915 Pennsylvania day was regarded the
most successful one yet held at the
College.

KILLED BY EXPLODING PULLEY.—
Charles Emanuel Houseman, of Millheim,
was struck on the back of the head by a
piece of an exploded pulley, while walk-
ing through the wood machine room in
the engineering building at State Col-
lege, about four o'clock on Monday after-
noon, and died two hours later as the re-
sult of a fractured skull.
Houseman was a carpenter and had
been working at the College about a year.
He had been working on the upper floor
of the engineering building on Monday
but was called down tothe wood machine
room on business. Just as he was pass-
ing a turning lathe operated by James
Kerstetter a pulley which was used for
changing the speed on the machine explod
ed and one piece hit Houseman.
taken to the College hospital but died
without recovering consciousness.
Deceased was a son of John and Cath-
arine Houseman, late of Gregg township,
and was fifty-five years old. He was a
bachelor but it is said was to have been
married in the near future. He leaves
one brother, John Houseman, of Mill-
heim. He was a charter member of the
K. G.E. of Millheim and a member of
the P. O.S. of A. of State College. The
remains were taken to Millheim on Wed-
mesday and burial made in the old ceme-
tery yesterday.
A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH
—Fred Dyke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant
Dyke, of Milesburg, had a miraculous es-
cape from death at the Armor Gap plant
of the American Lime & Stone company
last Friday afternoon. Dyke is engineer
at the stone crusher and was in the
building oiling the machinery. A pro-
jecting key on the fly wheel caught his
clothing and he was whirled around two
or three times until every stitch of cloth-
ing he had on except his shoes and stock-
ings was torn from his body when he
was thrown to the floor.
None of his fellow workmen were in
the room at the time of the accident but
hearing his cries they went to his assist-
ance. Not knowing how badly he was
injured he was bundled up and sent to
the hospital where it was found that no
bones had been broken. He had a bad
cut across the forehead and several cuts
on other parts of the body which required
twenty-four stitches to close. Every in-
dication is that he will soon be around
as well as ever.

——On Tuesday Governor Brumbaugh
appointed John D. Henefin and C. A.!
Roak, of Pittsburgh; J. D. Dorris, of
Huntingdon; Warren C. Graham, of Phil-
adelphia, and Senator Samuel J. Miller,
of Madera, commissioners to erect a
brick plant at the new western peniten-
tiary in Benner township. This will be |
in line with the recent Act of the Legis-
lature providing for more means of labor
in the State penal institutions.
——The Bellefonte High school team
literally walloped the Lewistown High
school eleven all over old Hughes field
on Saturday afternoon, defeating then
by the score of 31 to 0. The Bellefonte
Academy did not fare so well at the
hands of the Cornell Freshmen, being de-
feated by the scoreof 40 to 7. Evidently
the first year men at Ithaca must have ;
imbibed some of the winning football
spirit from the regular Cornell eleven. |
——Four hunters from the western
part of the State passed through Belle-
fonte on the 1:08 p. m. train Saturday
with sixty-five pheasants and forty-seven
rabbits. The birds were piled on the
platform of one of the cars while the
rabbits were strung up in the baggage
car. The game was the result of four
days hunt in the mountains near Renovo,
and was mute evidence of the fact that
neither birds nor rabbits are very scarce
in that locality.
——Bellefonte has not been favored
with the Centre county school teachers
this week, and the latter have missed a
lot of enjoyment by not being able to at-
tend the Scenic. Few moving picture
theatres in the State are now showing
the nightly programs of high class pic-
tures as manager T. Clayton Brown
throws on the screen every evening for
the entertainment of his patrons. The
famous Paramount pictures are shown
regularly two nights a week, and other
big features are shown right along.
——The Annual Thanksgiving meet-
ing and tea of the Women’s Home Mis-
sionary Society of the Presbyterian
church will be held in the chapel on
Thursday, November 18th, at 3.30. A
special effort has been made to provide
an interesting programme, Miss Adams,
of Winburne, expects to be present and
will speak of her work among the for-
eigners. The music by the choir will
also be a pleasing feature. A social hour
and tea will follow the services. All the
women of the congregation are urged to
be present. ,
——C. C. Shuey is exhibiting a core of
coal taken from a test hole made by a
diamond drill on coal lands in Marshall
county, West Virginia, in which he is
financially interested. The core shows
six feet two inches of clean coal, equal
in quality to the famous Pittsburgh coal.
The vein is unusually thick and is ev-
idence of a large deposit of coal. The
field, which is yet undeveloped, contains
about three thousand acres and fronts
on the Ohio river. Mr. Shuey and A.
M. Rishel are both interested in the
development of the above coal territory.
——On Friday of last week Hon. A. G.
Morris was eighty-one years old and he
celebrated the day by looking after his
big limestone interests hereabouts in the
same careful way he does every day. Of
course he received many congratulations
over the telephone and personally from
his friends around town. Mr. Morris is
one of the youngest old men in Belle-
fonte and thinks nothing of walking
from four to six miles a day to and from
the various plants of the American Lime
and Stone company. May he live to cel-
ebrate many more birthday anniversa-
ries, as he is the kind of man that any
community can ill afford to lose.
——That the Earle Stock company
which is filling a week’s engagement at
Garman’s, has already established a rep-
utation as being one of the highest class
organizations having visited here in
many seasons, has been proven by the
excellent performances given since their
opening last Saturday, and those who at-
tended have been well pleased. The
plays, players, and vaudeville which is
given between acts, are of such a nature
that they must be seen to be appreciat-
ed. The company is composed of ladies
and gentlemen, and they should have
good houses the remainder of their en.
gagement. This afternoon Miss Kirk
will hold a special matinee for ladies
only, giving her illustrated talk on
“White Slavery,” and her subjects will
be “The Girl Who Goes Wrong,” “Our
Sisters on the Street,” “The Wages of
Sin,” and “Commercialized Vice.” Girls
under the age of sixteen will not be ad-
mitted unless with an older person.
special trains there was a perfect jam of uous political campaign hunting pheas- with the prothonotary within thirty days
after the election. Failure to do so will
disqualify them from getting a commis-
sion.
Heretofore it was the duty of the pro-
thonotary to certify to the Secretary of
the Commonwealth, immediately after
the election, the names of all persons
elected justices of the peace within the
county. Commissions for the same were
then made out at the State Department
and forwarded to the prothonotary. Ordi-
narily about one-fourth of the commis-
sions were never lifted and the new law
was passed to avoid the work of making
out commissions that were not wanted.
Under the new law the prothonotary
waits until the expiration of thirty days
and then certifies to the Secretary of the
Commonwealth the names of the mzn
who have filed acceptances and intend to |
lift their commissions, and any who have
been elected and fail to file an accept-
ance their office will be designated as
vacant and it will be up to the Governor
to appoint a man to fill the vacancy.
W. C. T. U. INsTITUTE.—The W.C. T.
U. institute held in Petrikin hall on
Monday was well attended, both morn-
ing and afternoon. Mrs. Sylvia B. Nor-
rish, corresponding secretary of the State
W C. T. U, had charge, and explained
the work of the W. C. T. U. in its differ-
ent departments, after which she gave a
talk on “How to Make the W. C. T. U.
More Efficient.” Miss Savilla Rearick,
of Centre Hall, read a paper on “The
Relation of the W. C. T. U. to the Com-
munity.” Mrs. A. L. Wright, of State
College, talked of the work done zt the
convention at York.
Three ministers were present and
spoke on “National Prohibition.” Rev.
Charlton presented the subject from the
question “Why?” Rev. Finney, of Ohio,
answercc the question “How?” and Rev.
Carson answered the question “When?”
The Unions outside of Bellefonte that
were represented were, Centre Hall,
Millheim, Milesburg and State College.
Mrs. E. B. Foster, president of the
Mifflin county Union, was present and
gave a most interesting talk on the diffi-
culties under which the W. C. T. U.
women worked in order to have the
State convention held at York.

OLp HOME WEEK BENEFIT.—A home
talent entertainment will be given 1n the
opera house on Tuesday evening, Decem-
ber 21st, for the purpose of clearing up
the debt of two hundred and fifty dollars
still remaining from the Bellefonte Old
Home week celebration. Preliminary ar-
rangements for the entertainment were
made at a meeting held in Blanchard
and Blanchard’s office on Monday even.
ing. Mr. Garman has agreed to give the
opera house free; Christy Smith’s or-
chestra will contribute the music and all
the amateur talent will be free. So far
quite a number of people have been seen
and have agreed to appear in some role
or specialty. Everybody who has ever
appeared in amateur theatricals will be
asked and any others who are willing to
assist are requested to volunteer their
services. The entertainment will be in
charge of Lewis Daggett and J. Mac.
Heinle, and this fact alone presages its
success.
THE STUDEBAKER DURABILITY RUN.
—Beginning Monday morning and ending
yesterday Studebaker cars all over the
United States were given a durability
test in a one thousand mile run. The
test for this section was made by J. L.
Hicks, of Williamsport, distributor for
Central Pennsylvania. The object of the
test was to run one thousand miles with-
in thirty hours and note any trouble that
the car might develop during the run.
Mr. Hicks’ route was from Williamsport
to Lewisburg, through Buffalo and Penns-
valleys to Centre Hall, across Nittany
mountain to Bellefonte, from here to
Philipsburg by way of Snow Shoe, Phil-
ipsburg to Tyrone, down the Bald Eagle
valley to Milesburg, thence by way of
Bellefonte, Nittany valley and Lock
Hayen to Williamsport. The distance on
the above run is 250.08 miles and Mr.
Hicks drove it in less than eight hours
in a Studebaker Six. On Tuesday he
drove the lap from Bellefonte to Philips-
burg in fifty-five minutes and from Ty-
rone to Bellefonte in forty-five minutes.
—“It's A Long Way to Tipperary,”
written by the well known dramatist,
William Anthony McGuire, was a success
from the outset, because it is a thorough-
ly human play; because itis a play which
touches the heart strings, because it
delves into things of real life and treats
of people we know to exist who are
struggling in the conflict that is raging
across the Atlantic and of whom we know
so little of. Simplicity is the keynote of
the story and it appeals to all classes of
theatre goers. The famous actor-
comedians, Price and Butler, are stars in
this play which will appear at Garman’s
Tuesday evening, November 16th. Prices,
25, 35 and 50 cents.
——C. W. Hotfman, an expert baker of
Lock Haven, has been engaged by Mrs.
Joseph Ceader to take charge of her new
mechanical bakery just as soon as it is
ready to be put in operation, which will
be about December first. Mr. Hoffman
will not move his family to Bellefonte
until next spring.
