| EVANGELIST STARKE STIRRING THINGS. :
| —Evangelist Lee Starke gives stirring
addresses at the Methodist Episcopal :
| church and has made a most favorable
' impression upon all who have heard him.
: The evangelist is preaching twice daily
with great earnestness and power to con-
‘ stantly increasing crowds.
i Mr. Starke is a Virginian by birth and
.a New Yorker by adoption. He is a
| warm-hearted, hot-headed Southerner,
,and the New Yorkers have nicknamed
him “Tobasco Starke,” because of his
pungent, powerful shots at his audience.
: We doubt if any man ever preached in
| Bellefonte who came to us so highly rec-
ommended as Mr. Starke. Heis a frank,
! fearless, eloquent preacher of the “Old
Time Religion.” To-night the Evan-
gelist is to take for his subject “The Dry
Bones of Bellefonte,” and on Saturday
night, “Who is Your Sweetheart?” Of this
: sermon-lecture, the Camden, N. J., Dai-
ly Courier” says: The evangelist’s talk to
' Sweethearts last night was one of the
most beautiful things ever heard in
Camden.” This lecture, as well as all
the services are free to all.
Sunday morning the subject is to be
“The Second Birth,” at 2.30 p. m., “Our
Children,” and at 7.30, “The Old Ship
Zion.”
Great crowds are expected to hear Mr.
i Starke during the remainder of his Belle-
fonte campaign. All christians within
touching distance of our town should at-
tend these notable meetings, and hear
the plain, pointed and poweiful sermons
of this, “Man of God.”
Mr. Starke has consented to remain in
| Bellefonte until and including Sunday
night November 28th and will preach
twice daily and three times on Sundays.

hospital is doing a good work and is en-
titled to a liberal donation.
——There is no gainsaying the fact
that Bellefonte people appreciate high
class motion pictures, and the verv fact
that they so liberally patronize the Scen-
icis evidence that they appreciate the
kind of pictures Manager T. Clayton
Brown is now giving as a regular even-
ing program. Included in his list are the
famous Paramount pictures, staged by
experts and played by some of the best
talent it is possible to secure. There-
fore the Scenic is the place to go. I

REPUBLICANS TO BE QUSTED FOR DEM- °
ocaTs.—The following special dispatch
appeared in last Friday's Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.— Postmaster
General Burleson today made public the
unfilled presidential postoffices of the
country, to which deserving Democrats
will be named soon after the convening
of Congress. Of course the choice plums
in Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West
Virginia have been distributed, but still
there are a number worth having.
Information to be had about the White
House and the Postoffice Department is
to the effect that factional lines are not
to be drawn so tightly in future. Inthe
past “original Wilson men,” especially in
Pennsylvania, have received the prefer-
ence in appointments. With a presiden-
tial campaign approaching and with solid
Wilson delegations needed for next
year’s convention, the olive branch is to
be extended to those Democrats who
heretofore have not been classed as
riendly to the President.
National Committeeman A. Mitchell
Palmer is to continue as the official dis-
penser of patronage in Pennsylvania and
he is expected to parcel out the few re-
maining jobs in the State.
According to the latest information
there are 104 presidential postoffices in
Pennsylvania still being held by Republi-
cans who will come under the above
They range in salaries
One of the number, and the only one
that is of particular interest to Centre
countians, is the Bellefonte office. It
pays a salary at present of $2,500. Post-
master Harry Valentine’s full term of
four years will not expire until the latter
1916, about three
months hence. Whether he will be per-
mitted to serve out his term remains to
be seen.
In the meantime the above order has
created sotae stir among the various can-
didates for the Bellefonte office and it is
quite likely that all of the aspirants will
immediately get busy. The one thing in
the above dispatch which is interesting
is that the strings are not to be so tight-
ly drawn around the “original Wilson
men,” though A. Mitchell Palmer will
dole out the plums, as of yore.
While it is impossible to tell any-
ways near how many wild turkeys have
been killed in Centre county since the
opening of the season on November first,
it is estimated that the number is be-
tween one hundred and fifty and two
hundred. There is hardly a day that
one or ore turkeys are not bag-
ged, and some days the number runs
into two figures. Just six wild turkeys,
it is claimed, were brought into State
Ccllege on Saturday.

CELEBRATED GOLDEN WEDDING.—Fifty
years ago on Tuesday, or on November
16th, 1865, Ira Lyle and Miss Mary Werts
were united in marriage at Boalsburg by
Rev. Sechrist, and in commemoration of
that €vent they celebrated their golden
wedding on their fiftieth anniversary at
their home at Houserville. About fifty
of their friends and neighbors gathered
at their home to extend congratulations,
but none of the wedding guests of fifty
years.ago were included in the gather-
ing. A sumptuous wedding dinner was
served and the occasion proved a most
enjoyable one for all present.
Mr. Lyle is a battle scarred veteran of
the Civil war, having fought in many bat-
tles as a member of the Thirteenth Penn-
sylvania regiment. He was seriously
wounded in battle but still survives and
is hale and hearty, weighing 210 pounds.
Mrs. Lyle is in fair health, but not as
rugged as she was a number of years
ago. Their many friends hope they may
be spared to celebrate many more such
anniversaries.

States on Tuesday at a regular session
of naturalization court held by Judge
Orvis. All told there were a dozen or

court’s satisfaction. Even at that, ob-
jections were made to the granting of
papers to several of the men by F. S.
Becker, of Philadelphia, special examiner
for the United States government, but
the objections were ovef-ruled by the
court. One or two of the applicants who
had been examined by Mr. Becker some
weeks ago and at that time answered
very satisfactorily most of the questions
asked, became so confused when they
were brought into open court that they |
answered only a few questions correct-
ly, but by being vouched for by their
witnesses were granted papers. The ap- |
plications of four men were continued,

i for the funeral of the late Earle C. Tuten in-
cluded Mr. and Mrs. Amos Cole, of Lewistown;
' Miss Esther P. Tuten, an aunt, of Dover, N. H.;
| Mrs. William Nichol and Rev. J. Vernon Bell, of .
DuBois. The latter was the officiating minister |
and while he is a stranger to many people in i
Bellefonte he has an affiliation with the town |
; from having spent at least part of his boyhood |
‘ days here. He is a brother of D. Bates Bell, who |
will be well remembered as the book-keeper for
the old Ardell Lumber company.
—Mrs. William H. Houser, of Grand Island.
middle of October, has been spending this week |
in Bellefonte with her niece, Mrs. John Strunk.
Mrs. Houser and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn are all
natives of Centre county and having a large
circle of friends in addition to their relatives,
have spent a busy month visiting. At present
Mrs. Houser has arranged to return to Nebraska
early in December and it is probable that she
will be accompanied by Mrs. Strunk as far as
Chicago, where they will be together for a week,
as guests of Mrs. Strunk’s brother.
—After an absence of seven years John L.-
Given, of New York, dropped into town last
Thursday and remained here until Sunday morn-
ing. When it is considered that he spends every
fifth week in Pittsburgh and in consequence’
passes as near as Tyrone so frequently the long
absence from the scenes and companions of his
boyhood days is rather unusual. However John.
is a busy man looking after the advertising of the
many Heinz products and inasmuch as he never
did play very hard on the chord of sentiment we
presume that Bellefonte doesn’t appeal to him
like she does to some others of her sons who
have grown prosperous and important in other
locations. |
—Rev. Geo. Israel Brown, once rector of St.
John's Episcopal church in this place, surprised
his friends here by dropping in on them for a
short call on Tuesday. He had been at State Col-
lege as a supply for Dr. Frear over Sunday and
had an engagement in Lock Haven for Tuesday
night, hence the stop off en route.
in Lancaster now and that he still has a hankerin’
for civic work as well as church duties was re
vealed through the knowledge he has of politica
conditions in Lancaster county. He didn’t ap.
pear a minute older than when he left Bellefonte,
consequently our momentary unbelief that his
son David is now a second year man at Annapolis
was entirely excusable.
—Calvin Stamm, busy and prosperous as a
farmer on a fine place a mile ea$t of Boalshurg:
was in town for a few hours on Wednesday, hav-
ing motored over in his own machine. We were
glad to note that he owns an automobile for a
man who works like he does needs something to
take him away from it occasionally. Competent
help with him is as serious a question as it is
with many other Centre county farmers and be-
cause of his inability to secure it he and his wife
get up every morning at 3 o'clock to milk sixteen
cows and get the milk off to the station for the
early Lewisburg train. The WATCHMAN has

in making Mr. Stamm the wellinformed, genteel,
prosperous gentleman that he is.
