Before and After.
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.

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
