ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.
Centre County Y. W. C. A. News.
The board of directors of the Centre
county Y. W. C. A. met at State Col-
lege on June 16th. Miss Lovejoy, the
' vice president, entertained the mem-
bers at luncheon, after which a busi-
ness meeting was held. Mrs. Beach,
of Bellefonte, was added to the board
at this meeting, and Mrs. Thompson
made chairman of the Recreation
committee for the county. After the
business session a short talk was giv-
en by Miss Caroline Foresman, field
secretary for county work, and an ad-
dress by Miss Jessie Field, the na-
tional county secretary. . Miss Field
came all the way from South Caroli-
na to attend “Field Day” and speak
at this meeting, and her presence was
greatly appreciated by those present.
The report of the general secretary
from April 1st to June 16th, shows
that during the past three months
there have been organized one new
branch, Snow Shoe, with 31 members,
the three. Common Weal clubs;
Spring Mills, with 15 members; = Oak
Hall, with 12, and Pine Grove Mills,
with 16. A High school club has been
organized in connection with the
State College branch. The following
were recommended as leaders of Com-
mon Weal clubs: Spring Mills, Miss
Lola Ulrich; Oak Hall, Miss Lavoone
Ferree; Pine Grove Mills, Miss
Woods.
At Millheim a group of girls desire
to form a club. As yet no leader has
been found but the girls expect to
start something and get a leader. A
meeting will be held at Orviston the
last week of June.
A variety of work is being carried
on in the different branches and clubs.
The ‘activities of those previously or-
ganized have been given. Of the lat-
er ones, Snow Shoe is carrying on
gymnasium work and cooking, has
two basket ball teams, and is plan-
ning to fix up a room for a community
building; Spring Mills club is study-
ing birds and vocal music; Oak Hall;
sewing and embroidery, and a study
of “Christian Citizenship” for girls;
Pine Grove Mills girls wish to take up
sewing and instrumental music of
some kind, hoping eventually to be-
come an orchestra. Picnics and out-
of-door meetings have been held in
most of the organized communities,
and in several of the clubs the playing
of games is a part of each meeting.
The possibility of co-operation be-
tween The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege and the Y. W. C. A. has been
shown in several ways. Miss Lovejoy
started the domestic science work
at Snow Shoe with an address on
“Home Problems;” Miss Newcombe
is instructing the girls at Howard in
the regular extension course in ~ sew-
ing; various bulletins and papers have
been placed at our disposal, and many
suggestions offered. The College au-
thorities are very generous in co-oper-
ating in “Field Day” activities, and
although the weather interfered with
the holding of “Field Day” at the ap-
pointed time, they will doubtless give
us again the use of the campus,
equipment, helpers, etc.
The work of the county has beén
hampered by the difficulties of travel,
making it hard for the secretary to
reach the communities and confining
the work to fewer places.
“Field Day” will be held later.
Watch for the announcement.
——The Board of Pardons on Wed-
nesday refused applications of H, E.
Filler and Andrew Beeze, of West-
moreland county, and Gasper Martu-
rani and Thomas Chickerella, of Cam-
bria county, all of whom are under
sentence of death. The latter two are
. | embraced in the immense slope of the
to be electrocuted next week.
Flood Does Big Damage
in Bald Eagle Valley.
Towns are Flooded, Crops Ruined and
Roads Badly Washed Out. The
News in Detail.
One of the most torrential rains
that has fallen in this part of the
State since the record flood of May
30th; 1889, occurred last Friday night,
when it seemed as if the downpour
was a succession of cloud bursts, it
was so terrific. The greatest dam-
age done was throughout the Bald
Eagle valley.
From the Summit near Bald Eagle
the drainage of the entire water shed
Alleghenies and the north side of the
Bald Eagle mountain was drained in-
to Bald Eagle creek with the result
that that ordinarrly placid stream was
turned into a raging torrent, over-
flowing the banks between Hannah
Furnace and Port Matilda, though no
great amount of damage was done
in the upper end of the valley. At
Port Matilda, however, the lower por-
tions of the town were flooded, and a
few of the residents, among them the
United Brethren preacher and family,
were compelled to seek shelter else-
where... A number of boardwalks
were also washed away.
COW DROWNED AT MARTHA.
In the neighborhood of Martha a
wagon bridge was washed away and
a cow that was caught in the strong
current was drowned before it could
be rescued. The railroad tracks were
covered with water but were not dam-
aged to any great extent. From Julian
to Milesburg the water spread over all
the lowlands and crops of - all kinds
were inundated and badly damaged,
if not completely ruined.
: ‘DAMAGE ABOUT UNIONVILLE.
R. T. Comley, the well known Un-
ion township farmer who lives at the
head of Dix Run, had fifty bushels of
potatoes planted and of the entire
field only a half acre was left un-
destroyed by the flood. Mr. Comley’s
house and barn are only 300 feet apart
vet the water was so deep between
them that he had to go a mile around
to get from one to the other.
On the Henry Parsons farm, east
of Unionville, the current of the
stream was diverted with the result
that a new bed of the creek was
washed right through his best low-
lands.
‘All through Bush Hollow and Dix
Run the farmers lost all their crops;
on the lowlands, as well as the rich
soil, which was washed away.
"On the James M. Stere farm, a mile
west of Unionville, six feet of water
surrounded the house and barn. Mr.
Stere’s brother attempted to wade
throughethe torrent to see if the fami-
ly was all right, but could not do so.
F. W. Smith, the miller at Union-
ville, suffered considerable damage at
both his house and mill, and to the
mill race.
H. I. Stere’s garden was washed
away, his cellar filled with water and
his barn damaged.
The William Way farm was also
badly washed and crops almost ruined.
The roads in Union township lead-
ing to the Allegheny mountains were
all washed deep with ruts, in some
places the holes being three and four
feet deep.
D. F. Poorman, of Runville, esti-
mates his loss at $500, and is also
authority for the statement that many
people in that section lost all they had
in the way of growing produce.
VERY HIGH WATER AT MILESBURG.
. The entire basin formed by the rail-
road spur running from Milesburg to
Bellefonte was level full of water
from the railroad to above Central
city, being at its highest point about
three o'clock in the morning. Resi-
dents there estimated it to have been
within twenty-one inches of the
height of the flood of 1889. Several
trees were torn from their roots and
washed down stream, together with
outbuildings of all kinds. In fact it
kept a force of trackmen busy keep-|
ing the refuse from damming up
against the railroad bridge.
TWO FEET OF WATER IN HOUSE.
At the mpper end of Central city
lives John Schreckler and family and
they had just two feet of water in the
lower part of their house, and it came
so unexpectedly that they had no time
to get their furniture to the second
floor. Their garden was also entirely
destroyed.
WATER DEEP AS DOCKASH RANGE.
Close to John Schreckler lives John
Hall and his property was submerged
so deep that the water was just level
with the top of the Dockash range in
the out-kitchen. Mr. Hall’s garden
and lawn were also ruined.
TONS OF STONE PILED ON GARDEN.
Across the street from Mr. Hall is
the beautiful and well kept home of
Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Snyder, but its
beauty was entirely destroyed by the
flood. Boardwalks and fencing were
carried away and tons of stone piled
on their garden and lawn.
Down near the Milesburg bridge
the store and residence of F. L.
Wetzler were under water to a
ler stated was within seven inches of
the 1889 flood. Several other houses
along there were just reached by the
flood.
STATE-CENTRE PLANT FLOODED.
The big power plant of the State-
Centre Electric company ~was flooded
by the back water from the Bald Ea-
gle creek and the big turbine engines
fully half submerged in water, so that
it was necessary to close the plant
down and it was not until late on Sat-
urday that the water had gone down
sufficiently that they were able to
start up. In the meantime current
was furnished from their large Stor-
age batteries and from the reserve
plant at State College.
MOVED HORSES FROM STABLE TO BARN
FLOOR.
Down at the W. Groh Runkle farm
below Milesburg the water raised so
quickly and so high that men were
compelled to wade waist deep in order
to move the horses out of the stables
to the barn floor to keep them from
drowning.
No especial damage was done in
any of the towns from Milesburg
down but thousands of dollars in loss
has been sustained by the farmers in
the complete destruction of their
crops in the entire scope covered by
the water.
MT. EAGLE MAN HAD THRILLING EXPERI-
ENCE.
Probably the most thrilling experi-
ence of the flood was that of William
Sheatz, of Mt. Eagle. He drove to
Howard early in the forenoon and at
ten o'clock drove over the bridge
which crosses Bald Eagle creek. The
road was covered with water but he
supposed it safe and everything went
all right until his horses struck a deep
washout, when they sank over their
heads, pulling the buggy with them.
Both horses were drowned. Mr. Sheats
sprang from the buggy and being able
to keep afloat was carried down
stream till he came to a tree. He
managed to grab a limb and climb to
safety, but it was mid-afternoon be-
fore he could be rescued, and then he
was taken off on a rudely constructed
raft.
FARMERS’ SPECIAL BLOCKED.
‘A special train carrying one thous-
and farmers on their way from
McKean, Warren, Erie and Elk coun-
ties, to State College to attend a far-
mer’s meeting, was blocked by a land-
slide near Emporium and the trip had
to be abandoned. In fact the wash-
outs on the P. and E. division were
such that all train service west of
Lock Haven was cancelled on Satur-
day. While train service on the Bald
| Eagle Valley was very much interfer-
red with, and all trains were late,
most of the trains were able to get
through to Tyrone, though the late
trains could not reach Lock Haven.
BIG WASHOUT AT MONUMENT.
Out at Monument, on the New York
Central railroad, there was a washout
that required upward of a hundred
carloads of stone to fill, and as a re-
sult all trains were cancelled until the
damage was repaired.
NO DAMAGE IN BELLEFONTE
CINITY.
While Spring creek was high, the
highest it has been in several years,
no damage was done in Bellefonte.
Buffalo Run also kept within its
banks, with the exception of a few
places, and these did not result in any
damage. In fact, Bald Eagle Valley
and its residents were the only flood
sufferers.
AND VI-
Get Ready for the Chautauqua.
The one event of interest in Belle
fonte this summer will be the great
Chautduqua. Preparations are al-’
ready under way for the booming of
the first big gun July 24th, and if you
are only permitted to hear and see
the opening number you will get more
than the money you have expended
for the whole course. When we inti-
mate we are going to have “Seven
Joyous Days,” that will be placing it
very mildly.
Just think of hearing those sweet
voices of the Boston choir boys. The
Angelus presented with special scene-
ry and vestments, introducing secular
and sacred songs. The company is as
clean and wholesome as youthful
hearts can make it. Unless we are
very much mistaken, it will be one of
the most fascinating numbers you
have ever seen.
Next week the banners will go
across the streets and every automo-
bile should wear one of the flags for
thirty days to advertise the Chautau-
qua.
There will also be one of the best
bands, with the Venetian Italian gui-
tar-mandolin accompaniment, with
about fifty of the best musicians as a
leading attraction.
Get your ticket.” Call up Prof.
Wagner and tell him he can count on
you for one or more tickets.
——The twenty-first annual reun-
ion of the Houseman family was held
at Lakemont park, Altoona, last Sat-
urday. About one hundred and fifty
of the clan were present, including the
following from Centre county: Mr.
and Mrs. John Houseman and Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Houseman, of Millheim;

depth of six inches, which Mr. Wetz-
and Mrs, Smeltzer, of State College.
of Harry L. Orr, died at her home at
Mt. Zion, Clearfield county, on Sun-
day, June 11th, after a brief illness.
She was a daughter of James C. and
Rebecca Sellers Murphy and was born
at Pine Grove Mills on December 11th,
1854. Her girlhood life was spent at
the place of her birth and though all
her married life had been spent in
Clearfield county, almost every year
she spent some time at Pine Grove
Mills and vicinity. .
In early girlhood she became a
member of the Methodist church and
all her life lived a pure, christian life.
She enjoyed a large circle of acquaint-
ances and her death is sincerely
mourned by all. Her kind and gentle
ministrations will be missed in the
home as well as entire community.
Surviving her are her husband and
a niece, Miss Fannie Butler, whom
they raised from infancy, as well as
one brother and two sisters, namely:
J. L. Murphy, of Pine Grove Mills;
Mrs. Mary E. Orr, of Pinellas Park,
Florida, and Mrs. Margaret A. Brouse,
of Williamsport.
The funeral on Wednesday of last
week was very largely attended.
Her pastor had charge of the services
and burial was made in the old ceme-
tery overlooking the town of Clear-
field.

CALDWELL.—Hon. S. Woods
Caldwell, a prominent resident of
Lock Haven, died on Wednesday
morning of heart trouble, aged 71
years. He was the owner of the Irvin
house, in that city, and all his life had
been prominently ‘identified with

urday.
——The members of the Bellefonte
Chapter of National Preparedness
held a card party at the home of Mrs.
Hastings, last Friday night and real-
ized the nice sum of $30.00, The
money will be used in paying the ex-
penses of Charles Cruse, Jr., at the
Boal training camp in August and in
making garments for the soldiers.
——On Wednesday Caroline Curtin,
the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Curtin had the end of her right
fore finger chippd off by getting it
caught in a Morris chair. A physi-
cian stitched the severed end on and it
is hoped it will grow in its natural
place and shape.
——Wednesday was the longest
day in the year, and with the kind of
weather we had it seemed about twice
as long as it was. Yesterday was
Corpus Christi, or the beginning of
summer, and now we naturally ought
to expect warm weather.
——Another car load of prisoners
went through Bellefonte yesterday on
their way from Pittsburgh to the new
penitentiary at Rockview, and ’Squire
Hayes Schenck, of Howard, was one
of them.
——Argument will be made today
on the application of Charles M. Mc-
Curdy, trustee, to secure payment of
$30,000 worth of bonds of the Belle-
fonte Steam Heating company.

Woman’s Suffrage Party Convention.
The third annual convention of the
Centre County Woman’s Suffrage
party assembled in the Bellefonte
High school auditorium last Saturday
and devoted the day to reports and
discussions.
During the morning general reports
of officers and the vice-chairmen of
the various districts were made, and
at noon an excellent luncheon was
served in the domestic science room.
After luncheon the election of offi-
cers took place. Mrs. Robert Mills
Beach was unanimously re-elected as
county leader. Miss Mary Gray Meek
was re-elected treasurer, and Mrs.
John S. Walker, secretary.
In the discussion of “Future Work”
which came next, Mrs. Beach made
statements to the effect that 300,000
women signers could be secured to
refute the assertion that women do
not want to vote; that street meetings
are more successful than house meet-
ings, and big collections are to be
! gotten right out of the streets; that
; men respect women who stand up and
‘ask for what they want; that women
(will be given a chance to contribute
sums from twenty-five cents to five
idollars, and as much more as they
desire, as it is the desire to demon-
strate that the suffragists have con-
tributed their own campaign. Itis the
hope to have some suffrage speakers
for the forthcoming campaign.
In this general discussion the ques-
tion of poll tax arose. It was stated
by those posted that it isa very com-
plicated and variable problem, and
that, many men do not themselves
know what poll tax they pay. One
vice chairman stated that the poll tax
was causing a good many country
i women to hesitate to come out on the
right side, and asked what argument
‘could be offered to refute the asser-
“tion. It was stated that it had been
{ proposed by some men to abolish the
poll tax, and it was suggested that
. when women had the right to vote
| they and those men opposed to it
might unite to abolish it.
Mrs. John S. Walker, who had at-
tended the thirteenth biennial Federa-
tion meeting in New York, as a dele-
gate, gave a very interesting report
of that session. At that gathering
20,000 women were assembled to rep-
resent a million and a half of club
women. To show how great a change
had taken place in woman’s status
since revolutionary days, Mrs. Walker
stated that in 1771 the Cyclopedia
Britannica defined woman as “the fe-
male. of man—see Homo.” - Since that
time woman’s importance in the uni-
verse has grown sufficiently to require
11,000 words to define her. Even T.
R., who stated only four years ago
that woman suffrage was not import-
ant, has come out for it with flying
colors, but then a woman nominated
him in 1912.

Making American Citizens.
A regular term of naturalization
court was held before Judge Quigley
on Tuesday when twenty-four appli-
cants for American citizenship were
present and underwent the regular ex-
amination. United States examiner
J. B. Glazier, of Philadelphia, was
present to conduct the examinations,
‘and while he clung tenaciously to the
requirements of the law in cases of
naturalization, he was just and not
unduly assertive of the authority in-
vested in him. Of the twenty-four
applications ten were refused for va-
rious reasons and the following
twelve, four Austrians, two Russians,
one German, two Hungarians and
three Italians, were granted citizen-
ship papers: A
Stanislaw Izdepski, Austrian, Snow Shoe
township. Sa
Joseph Krupa, Hungarian, Rush Twp.
Solomon Novey, Russian, Philipsburg.
Michael Preslovich, Austrian, Snow Shoe
township.
Biagio Ramondetta, Italian, Snow Shoe

Early in May a destructive fire
occurred on the mountains near Pad-
dy Mountain station, and forester
Charles R. Meek requisitioned the
services of members of the Adam
Gotshall camping party, who were
there from Shamokin on a fishing
trip. In the party was Mr. Got-
shall’s son-in-law, Stephen Matisick.
Last Saturday Forester Meek sent to
Mr. Gotshall checks in payment for
the men’s services who assisted in
extinguishing the fire and on Monday
he received a letter from Mr. Gotshall
conveying the sad intelligence that
Matisick had been killed in the mines
on June 8th. !

Camping and Fishing at Paddy Moun-
tain.
| Early in May the “Watchman” pub-
: lishe an item stating that Robert De-
' Lisle, of Altoona, had taken out a
lease from the State for a quarter
acre camp site on the Penn forest
‘tract at Poe Mills. Forester Charles
R. Meek, who has charge of the Penn
forest, is authority for the statement
that Mr. DeLisle has paid his first
year’s rent and is about ready to build
a club house, Mr. Garis, of Centre
Hall, having submitted plans and a
bid for the work.
Forester Meek states that an appli-
cation for a camp site has also been
made to the Department of Forestry
by R. R. Palmer, of Juniata, who de-
| sires to erect a cabin as headquarters
for a party of Altoona shop men. In
fact it is rather surprising at the
| popularity of Penn’s creek from Cher-
{ry Run to Weikert. At Cherry Run
{Judge Moser, Judge Whitmer and
Senator McConnell have erected club
| houses on lands purchased from Wil-
{ liam Johnson.
Edward Jolly, of Weikert, has dis-
posed of his farm to a party of Pitts-
burgh men for a club house site and
game preserve. They are now plan-
ning to raise $10,000 through the sale
of stock to members and the money
will be expended in the erecticn of a
large and commodious club house,
equipped with heat, light and shower
baths. A steel club house has been
erected on a site leased on Weikert
run, and David Libby, of Weikert, has
erected two club houses on his land
which are always in demand. The
State has leased two sites at Paddy
Mountain and the lessees expect to
build during the summer. Bert Rowe
is just completing a fine $2,000 sum-
mer cottage at Ingleby. In fact Penn’s
creek from Coburn to Weikert prom-
ises some day to be a famous summer
resort for campers. All that is need-
ed to increase its popularity is a state
highway through the Narrows from
Coburn to Glen Iron.
Penn’s creek and Cherry run have
always furnished fine trout fishing,
but so far this season the water has
been too high and muddy for good
sport. Among those who tried their
luck recently were Frank Kerstetter
and son, the former getting 35 brook
trout and the latter 33, not counting
those they were obliged to throw back
on account of being under size. Some
good catches of suckers and eels have
been reported, however.
It is a fact not commonly known,
that there is also good bass. fishing in
Penn’s creek at Weikert and as far
west as Paddy Mountain. Fishermen
from Wilkes-Barre, Shamokin and
Sunbury travel to Penn’s creek for the
bass fishing alone.
Forester Meek reports that all
kinds of game, except pheasants,
seem very plentiful in the mountains
of eastern Centre county. A few days
ago Harry Wingard saw a very small
fawn, only a few days old, in Pine
swamp, on the Penn forest tract.
Quite a number of full grown deer
have beer seen. Rabbits are unusual-
ly plentiful and so are snakes—black-
snakes, rattlers and copperheads. The
wet weather and forest fires are as-
cribed as the cause for the scarcity of
pheasants, although they were not
plentiful in that section last year.

State College Ready for Big Summer
Session Attendance.
Arrangements are now complete for
the opening of the seventh summer
session for teachers of The Pennsyl-

registration indicates that in many
departments the facilities of the col-
lege will be taxed to care for the large
number of teachers planning to at-
tend. The enrollment is especially
heavy in industrial arts, home eco-
nomics, and natural science courses.
Sixteen librarians of the State will at-
tend the school for librarians which
is maintained in connection with the
summer session by the Free Library
