The folling two extracts are publish- ed verbatim and will probably be read with interest by some Bellefonte peo- ple: From Monday’s Clinton Dispatch. Seven white men and a colored in- dividual from Bellefonte, came here in a Studebaker car today, and by this afternoon all in the car were under the influence of liquor. While passing out East Park street the colored man was dropped out of the car, and strik- ing his head bled quite profusely from the nose. A report reached the police office that the colored man had been killed, and the officers started in pursuit of the autoists after picking up the color- ed man and taking him to jail. They were arrested by Chief Donahue and Officer Litz at 3.230 o’clock this after- noon and were taken to the office of Alderman John P. Anthony where they gave the names of C. A. Thomas, W. E. Williams, Victor Dawson, D. R. Reed, Charles Nyhart, Frederick Scott and Thomas Toner. A charge of assault and battery was lodged against the members of the party and it is also likely the driver will be fined for running a car while’ intoxicated, which may be followed by the cancellation of his license. From Tuesday's Lock Haven Express. Henry Brown, the colored man, who with a crowd of men from Bellefonte "were enjoying a spree and joy ride in an automcbile in this city, was not injured as badly as was at first thought, when he fell from the auto on East Park street Monday afternoon. He was taken to jail and later given a hearing, with his six companions; before Alderman John P. Anthony. The seven men were compelled to pay a fine for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The colored man was re- turned to jail, as it was thought he was badly injured, but was discharged today. Mr. Brown had over $100 on his person when released from Fort Rath- geber this morning, and he surely must have been having some time, as he was arrested and jailed again shortly after noon today for drunken- ness and had but $2.65 remaining. PO — ——On Tuesday of this week the burn- ers and quarrymen at the American Lime & Stone company’s plants and that of the Centre County Lime company went on a strike for higher wages, and as a result there has been some trouble in keeping the kilns going at both places. While no definite conclusion was reached at the hour of going to press the company officials had hopes of reaching an agree- ment with the men some time last night. ——Somebody has been using dyna- mite in Spring creek for catching fish, and the authorities are not only investi- gating as to the guilty party or parties, but are also endeavoring to find out who has been using a seine on both Spring creek and Logan’s branch. Major General Clement will Sacrifice His Home. Sunbury, Pa., July 31.—Major Gen- eral Charles M. Clement, in command of the Pennsylvania troops along the Texas border, it was learn¢d tonight, is making every effort to convert into cash all his assets, even to the sacri- fice of his handsome home in the best residence section here, to meet out- standing financial obligations. It became known here about the time ‘he General left for the border that he was in financial difficulties. This was revealed when he gave a blanket judgement note for $55,000 to the Sunbury Trust and Safe Deposit, protecting the claims of endorsers and other unsecured creditors. Among the claims is a note held by William H. Greenough, of Sunbury, for $18, 000. Since then the Clement home and other real estate that he owns, as well as his large library, have been offered by advertisement for private sale, by George B. Reimensnyder, attorney for the banking corporation. ‘While nothing definite is known about the business affairs of General Clement, it is the belief here he is in debt for about $75,000 and that his assets are about $25,000. No one has undertaken to explain his financial distress, although the belief is that he has been in difficulty of this sort for a long period of years, notwithstanding his law practice has been regarded as lucrative. Dr. H. A. Surface Must Go. Dr. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist for more .than a decade, was given two more weeks in office when the State Agricultural Commission late Monday night swerved from its de- cision to oust him at once. The Com- mission declared the place vacant after August 15. Dr. Surface, who has declared politics to be behind the move to oust him, was closeted with the Commis- sion for almost an hour. It is under- stood the session was a spirited one, in which the doctor took his own part most vigorously. board indicates that Dr. Surface again refused to submit the resigna- tion demanded several weeks ago. No reason was given by the Commis- sion for holding Dr. Surface over. The request for his resignation had Jesifiad that it be submitted on Mon- ay. It was again unofficially reported that William Sanders, a professor in the University of Wisconsin, is to be named as Dr. Surface’s successor. The place pays $4,000 a year. The Agricultural Commission heard Dr. Surface’s argument and discussed the points behind closed doors for more than an hour before the decision was announced. It was generally be- lieved that Dr. Surface’s appeal to Governor Brumbaugh did not bring results. It is said that Dr. Surface early in the day removed most of his personal effects from the capitol. This was taken as an indication that he may not Sonfinie his fight to retain his posi- ion. Governor Brumbaugh is under- stood to have answered letters sent him by Dr. Surface soon after the Commission held up the statement it had prepared giving the reasons for its action. Scientific Farming Gives State College : Record Crops. State College, Pa., August 1.—Mod- ern agricultural methods involving crop rotation and scientific fertiliza- tion have this season produced the heaviest crops ever grown on the farms of the Pennsylvania State Col- lege. Larger yields have been obtained from every crop with the exception of wheat, which will .give the normal amount. C. L. Goodling, the college farm superintendent, attributes the unusual conditions to favorable grow- ing weather, and to the application of results obtained from the experimen- tal plots. These fertilizer plots are the oldest in the country, and the data collected during thirty-five vears of experimentation has been used suc- cessfully by the college. More than 600 tons of hay were cut from 275 acres, or an average of about three tons per acre. The oats crop will yield sixty-five to seventy bushels to the acre. Fattening the Garbage Can. From Leslie's. It is no credit to us that “the Ameri- can garbage can is the fattest in the world,” remarked Senator Smoot when he injected’ into the Senate debate on preparedness a plea for preparedness for good housekeeping and better homes. Hf1 had a dozen daughters and was able to give each of them a million dol- lars the day of their marriage,” said the Senator, “I would still wanteach to know how to cook, make their own clothes, and, in fact, be a superior housekeeper.” The skillful cook and housekeeper is the one who secures the maximum results with a minimum expenditure of money. Any cook should be able to serve a good meal with an unlimited pocketbook at her disposal. - The test comes when this is done at small expense, and the high- est art, as all clever cooks acknowledge, is to make a good meal out of left-overs that the thriftless throw away. The wastefulness at the table of the Ameri- can hotel and restaurant has always amazed the foreign traveler. How Margarine Is Made. Oleomargarine, when first introduced in England, was called “bosh.” As this name repelled business, it was changed to “margarine,” a word de- rived from the freak word for a pearl, because of the pearly appearance of margaric acid. - There has been a great improve- ment in its manufacture in recent. years, so great that the London Lancet says “the product of the present day is a triumph of the art of the refined blending of various fats, vegetable and animal, with milk.” It was origl- nally made from the fluid part of beef fat with a trifling proportion of vege- table oil. Today some of its forms contain nothing but nut oils blended with pasteurized skim milk. These are perfectly wholesome. No Prejudice There. “What do you think of the acoustics, Mrs. Nurich?” whispered her neighbor. “Oh, I don’t mix in them religious squabbles. Let everybody worship in their own way, I say.” ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 61-30-2t. uh v The First Telegram. | Hidden away in the archives of the Tennessee Historical Society at Nash- ville is the account of the first actual message ever sent over a telegraph line. That dispatch differs materially from the®olemn message that passed over the wire between Washington and Baltimore in the year 1844. It il- lustrates well, however, the lack of seriousness with which Mr. Morse’s invention was taken when he first of- fered it to the world. According to the account preserved at Nashville, Hon. Robert L. Caruth- ers, of Lebanon, Tennessee, was a a mmber of Congress in 1343, and a member of the committee to which was referred Mr. Morse’s application for an appropriation to build a tele- graph line from Washington to Balti- more. Most of the members of the committee looked upon Morse as a visionary, and his proposal as im- practicable. ; On the last day of the session’ Morse went to the committee room and told them that he had stretched a wire to the top of the Capitol build- ing, and had 2 young man up there. If they would write a message he would send it up; and the young man would bring them a copy of it. None of them believed it could be done. Judge Caruthers, however, pulled the enevlope of a letter out of his pocket and wrote a message. Mr. Morse, who had his instrument with him, sat down and sent the message. In a few minutes the young man walked into the room with an exact copy of thé AT A SB ETI LOUIS DAMMERS: "+ Philadelphia Eyesight Specialist, ONE DAY ONLY in the Following Towns : HOWARD Monday, August 7th, 1916 Howard Hotel Parlors 10 a. m. to 8 p. m.

The committee reported fa- vorably, and recommended the appro- priation. The bill passed just before the ad- journment. Some one went toc Mr. Morse’s boarding house to inform him that the appropriation was made. The daughter of the landlady went to Mr. Morse’s room, waked him, and gave him the welcome news. He said to her, “My daughter you shall send the first message that goes from Washington to Baltimore.” That promise was fulfilled when she sent the: famous message: “What hath God wrought!” : Judge Caruthers was an ardent Whig, and in 1843 the Whigs were very angry with President Tyler, New Advertisements.
