MARRIAGES.
MARTIN— BENNISON.—A pretty wed-
ding occurred at the home of Mrs. Mar-
garet Bennison, at Howard, on Tuesday,
when her daughter, Miss Helen G. Ben-
nison, was united in marriage to Mr.
Byron Martin, of Mansfield, Ohio. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. W. F.
Carson in the presence of about fifty
guests. The bride was beautifully attir-
ed in a gown of white georgette crepe,
with vail and carried white roses. Fol-
lowing a delicious wedding breakfast
Mr. and Mrs. Martin left for a wedding
trip to Buffalo and on the Great Lakes,
after which they will go to Lansing,
Mich., where their home is already fur-
nished.
SHIRK—FINICLE.—Stanley Shirk and
Miss Ruth Finicle, both of Lewistown,
motored to Bellefonte Tuesday of last
week and at eleven o’clock were united
in marriage by Dr. E. H. Yocum, at the
Methodist parsonage on Linn street, the
ring ceremony being used. They came
to Bellefonte because they were both
members of Dr. Yocum’s congregation
when he preached at Lewistown. They
returned to Lewistown the same after-
noon and left on a two week’s wedding
trip through the middle west, where they
both have relatives.
WATKINS—MANN.—James E. Watkins
and Miss Daisy M. Mann, both of Curtin
township, were married at five o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon of last week,
by Squire G. Wash Rees, at his office in
the Lyric theatre building.
Worthy of Their Hire.
Dr. Ezra H. Yocum, pastor of the
Bellefonte Methodist church and who
is revered abroad as well as at home,
was in Altoona on Monday attending
the conference in the Eighth Avenue
Methcdist church, held in the interest
of the intensive annuity fund of the
Central Pennsylvania conference, and
voiced his sentiments in the matter as
follows:
“The day is coming when every
man who gives years of service to a
certain line of work will receive a
pension. I am interested in this
movement,” continued Dr. Yocum,
“as in every movement that pertains
to the work of the church of Christ,
not for selfish reasons, but for the
honor of the church. The church
owes the man who gives a life serv-
ice, a life support, and she cannot be
true to the teaching of her Lord un-
less she gives him a competency when
he can work, and adequate support in
his retirement. When this fund is
raised the church will be able better
to care for her active ministers.”
John W. Vogel’s New Idea.
It remained for John W. Vogel to do
what, it seems to us, should have been
done many years ago. Thirty years of
" Mr. Vogel's life have been’ devoted to
minstrelsy and. few managers in that |.
line accomplished so much. But now
Mr. Vogel is offering us what he is pleas-
ed to term an operatic, minstrel farce-
comedy; a musical show with enough
minstrelsy to please those who prefer
that form of entertainment. In fact,
“Japland,’’—for that is the title of the
vehicle used by Mr. Vogel for the alli-
ance of the several forms of amusement
—contains a more than modern minstrel
first part as well as a complete act of
grand and comic opera, farce-comedy
and extravaganza. Included in the Vo-
gel company is Arther Deming, who has
many warm, personal friends in Belle-
fonte. “Japland’” can be seen at Gar-
man’s, Friday evening, September’ 30th.

Rehearing Refused in the Filler Case.
Harrisburg, September 20.—The
State Board of Pardons tonight an-
nounced that it had refused to rec-
ommend commutation of the death
sent :nce o!. Joseph W. O'Brien, of
Philadelphia, whe murdered a 9-year
old boy named Goldman in Montgom-
ery county, and also refused a re-
hearing to H. E. Filler, Westmore-
land, sentenced to be electrocuted
next week.
Filler’s case, which has been in the
courts for two years and reviewed by
the State and Urited States Supreme
courts, was considered by the board
in June and commutation refused.
Today during a plea for a rehearing,
counsel for Filler presented affidavits
from eleven jurors saying that if a
matter of a rebzte for a cash fare
had been presented, they might have
decideded differently. District Attor-
ney Eicher of Westmoreland, then
presented papers from the jurors
withdrawing their statements.
Applauds President Wilson.
From the New York Herald.
The country has just escaped a rail-
road strike which threatened to in-
volve the entire country, which men-
aced our national peace, our national
existence; which would have dislo-
cated the entire social fabric and
might have led to a long procession of
ills so serious that to conteraplate
them is abhorrent.
‘This has been avoided through the
resolute action of President Wilson.
The Herald, repeating what it said
vesterday, says today: All honor to
Myr. Wilson for having induced Con-
ress to pass the bill which led to
the rescinding of the strike order. But
what individual who is engaged in
criticising this act of Congress—what
editor, what railroad president. what
member of Congress who voted “no,”
“I what economists who would have set-
tled the matter in some way unex-
plained—what single individual would
have accepted the responsibility of
letting the strike begin?
A True Philanthropist.
“What disposal did ¢ld Vandergelt
make of his enormous fortune when
he died ?”
“Most of it was left as a ‘Fund to
Supply Gasoline to Indigent Motor-
ists.” ”—N. Y. World.

WATCHMAN is always the best.
