Miss Elinor Cook Writes of Condi- tions Among the Refugees. Tiflis, Russia, April 2. This morning we were introduced to Madam Plarska, a Russian of fine birth and once great wealth, married to a Polish gentleman. They have lost practically everything and were interned here—in Tiflis. Her husband started weaving mills, woolen cloth is made entirely by hand, from the time the wool is clipped from the sheep un- til the cloth is ready for the tailor. Madam Plarska started two orphan- ages for refugee Armenians and Rus- sians, and since last June has assum- ed charge of twenty such orphanages and two hospitals and wants to open more as soon as it is definitely settled how many of us will remain here. She took us this morning to visit two orphanages. These are run by Ar- menian women and there are so many children for so few women, small houses and poor equipment. They are not convenient, but are light, airy and clean. Clean! Few orphanages in the United States are cleaner. Once a week each room is cleaned by the older girls. They have a few iron cots but most of the beds are boards on legs and a very thin mattress and thin coverings. They are so crowd- ed that three children sleep in a bed. Funds have been so low they dared spend nothing for clothes—why ‘these little dears are dressed in neatly patched old clothes you wouldn't use for a floor rag. But they are clean. You see Madam Plarska started this work independently, but now that the United States has taken over the work she expects to be able to do more, and hopes the U. S. won’t fail her. I do hope you'll all do lots, for it’s needed, and if you could look into these orphanages your hearts would break for these adorable children. And, of course, the Caucasus is on- ly one place, the really unimportant place, for all the refugees from so called Armenia are pouring in here. There are very few, if any, Armen- ians left in Armenia, for the Turks are now in possession—until England gets control. At the orphanages we saw the refugee children just after they were received, had been cleaned and had their heads shaved. Their heads were broken out in sores like a mangy dog, caused by. lack of nour- ishment. Many of them were also broken out on the body. Some had sore eyes, infected feet, etc. And so thin and feeble they could hardly walk and they would not smile. Their expressions are so sad and eyes so pitiful and pleading, I just wanted to get to work at once. Then we saw those who have been here for some time. Plump, bright- eyed, smiling children, all eager to shake hands with the dear “Merica- nos.” They are as lovable as any children I ever saw, and play and laugh the same. Have been playing hopscotch and spinning tops, but not our way. But oh! the sad need of playthings! Only one doll for fifty or more children and no other toys. And Tiflis’ sufferings are mild to those in the interior. Dr. Main, of Grinnell College, Iowa, is here on a trip for information and advance work, and last week went to Van, Kars, ete., and conditions there are appalling. People are dying in towns’ at the rate of one hundred and fifty a day from starvation. Why, mothers kill and eat their own chil- dren. Appeals have come from every side for food, and we have not enough money nor food to supply them; and Americans kicking because we want what is only a drop in the bucket. I thought I could never eat a big meal again, after hearing of these starving cones, but typhus is raging and if we let ourselves want we will be good subjects. But I'm hoping our supplies will soon be in. Have just been assigned to Baku, Russia, on the Caspian sea. It’s a wonderful winter resort in ordinary times, but “full of the devil now,” as Capt. Ar- rol says. Miss Cooley, of Berkeley, Cal, and I are to go, probably under English guard. It’s one of the hard- est fields and I don't know why they chose me. ... BLINOR COOK. First Lieutenant Enlists as a Private. First Lieutenant Charles F. Longee, of Howard, not only wants overseas service but is determined to have it at all hazards. Notwithstanding the fact that he has seen twenty-seven years of service he was denied the privilege of combatant service in the world war because he was deemed of more value in the training camps in this country, and having recently been discharged he went to Altoona on Monday and enlisted as a private in the infantry there with the stipu- lation that he be sent as soon as pos- sible to serve in Siberia. “Private” Longee entered the mili- tary service in the Spanish-American war, seeing action in the Philippines and later in the Boxer uprising in China. At one time or another he has served in practically all branches of the army, and in all of Uncle Sam’s territorial possessions. Shortly after the participation of the United States in the world war he was a first lieu- tenant in the air service, but because of his exceptional experience and years of training, was kept in this country. He wanted action but like the soldier that he is, had to submit to the orders that were contrary to his wishes. His previous service practically assures him of a sergeant’s warrant, as soon as his service record comes to the attention of higher mili- tary authorities. Newsy Chat About Returned Soldiers. Among the Centre county service men who returned home recently were Lieut. Col. David Dale and Capt. E. R. Taylor, both of whom landed in Bellefonte on Saturday morning, look- ing a little thin as the result of their strenuous life overseas, but otherwise in the very pink of condition. As Lieutenant Colonel, Dr. Dale is now the ranking officer in Centre county of all the overseas forces, but he is so everlastingly modest that we feel assured he will answer just as quickly to “Dave” or “Doctor” from his friends as he will to the military title he bears. In this connection we might add that Col. Dale has already planned to take a long rest. He ex- pects a new car in the near future and between getting the car limbered up, renewing old associations and spending some time on Fishing creek he can put in two months very handi- ly, so will not take up his practice until the first of August. As to Capt. “Dick” Taylor, he will also take things easy for a few weeks then return to Huntingdon to take up his old job as military instructor in the Huntingdon reformatory, and the inmates of that institution will no doubt reap the advantage of all the new points the captain picked up dur- ing his service abroad. Major Wilbur F. Leitzell, of State College, was in Bellefonte on Wed- nesday and having shed his uniform and gotten back into civilian clothes he wears his honors very modestly and a stranger would never know that he had a hole shot in his shoulder al- most big enough to jam your fist into. Lieut. Francis E. Thomas returned home on Tuesday evening with his honorable discharge in his pocket, coming to Bellefonte just five days after reaching this country. Among the Bellefonte boys who have arrived home are Corp. Luther Crissman, Harry Dunlap, Arthur Beezer, Robert Willard, Arthur Haupt, Peter DeLalo, Victor Dawson, Hugh Daley, John Woods, and others. Corp. Charles E. Gates and Thom- as Lamb arrived in New York the lat- ter part of last week and are expect- ed home in a few days. Memorial to Our Soldiers. This is Memorial day, the day ob- served all over the United States on which to pay tribute to departed sol- diers ‘of the United States, and this year the day will hava added solem- nity because of the many new graves of men who died in service in the great world war. In Bellefonte Gregg Post attended religious services last Sunday morn- ing at the United Evangelical church. Just sixteen old soldiers, escorted by a delegation of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, marched to the church and heard an eloquent sermon delivered by Rev. E. J. Dunn, who paid a glowing tribute to the soldiers dead and the soldiers living. Memorial services will be held this (Friday) afternoon, as has been done for many years. The parade will form in the Diamond at 1:30 o'clock and the old soldiers have invited all men who were in service in the world war to turn out in uniform and join with them on this solemn occasion. There are several graves in Bellefonte cemeteries of boys who died in serv- ice and they are deserving of all the honor and respect that can be paid to them. The parade will march to the cem- etery where the customary brief serv- ices will be held and the grave of every known soldier strewn with flow- ers, at the conclusion of which the as- semblage will return to the court house for the Memorial address to be delivered by Rev. M. DeP. Maynard. o_o Bids Wanted for State Highway and Bridges.

Miller, an old soldier of the Civil war and at one time Commisioner of Centre county, died at the rooms of his other Rob- ert, in the McClain block, at six o’clock on Sunday morning. During the past several years Mr. Miller di- vided his time between his farm at Pleasant Gap, with his daughter, Mrs. James G. Blythe, in Philadelphia, and his brother Robert in Bellefonte. He had been here for some time but just last week wrote his daughter that he would like to go to Philadelphia, con- sequently she came to Bellefonte on Thursday and Mr. Miller was eager to leave for the Quaker city on Fri- day but could not get ready in time. Saturday morning he complained of not feeling well and during the fore- noon went to bed. In the afternoon he lapsed into unconsciousness and from that time sank rapidly until the end. Mr. Miller was a son of Robert V. and Elizabeth Lytle Miller and was born in Spring township on April 24th, 1838, hence had reached the ad- vanced age of 81 years, 1 month and 1 day. Like all boys of that day his education was obtained in the district school and while yet in his teens he became a teamster, following that oc- cupation until the outbreak of the Civil war. On April 15th, 1861, he was the second man to enlist for serv- ice in the Bellefonte Fencibles and less than three months later, or on July 2nd, he got his baptism of fire at the battle of Falling Waters, Va. On Ju- ly 26th he was given an honorable discharge and returned home, but at once got to work and largely through his efforts the 45th regiment, 2nd reg- iment of cavalry and 57th regiment were recruited. In the winter of 1861 he again enlisted in the First Penna. cavalry and saw action in the battles of Falmouth, Strasburg, M+. Jackson, Cross Keys and Fort Republic. While on picket duty in 1862 he met with an accident and had an arm and several ribs broken, but rejoined his regiment in time to take part in the battles of Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. He was discharged in December, 1863, but the following February re-enlist- ed in the 148th regiment. He was in the battles of Bethseda church, Cold Harbor and Petersburg, passing through all unscathed, but at the first attack on the Weldon railroad he re-- ceived a bullet in the shoulder, one in the leg and one in the head, while a piece of shell carried away a portion of his lower jaw and eleven teeth. He lay on the battlefield twenty-four hours before being found and sent to a hospital. He recovered and was commissioned a first lieutenant before being musetered out. : Returning home he went to work at anything he could get to do and in 1874 he was appointed a United States guager and storekeeper for this district and had charge of the old Haag distillery at Pleasant Gap, a position he filled until the plant was closed over twenty years later. In politics Mr, Miller was unsweryingl Republican and in 1895 was his" ty’s candidate for prothonotary but was defeated by 69 votes. In 1896 he ran for sheriff and was again defeat- ed, this time by only 16 votes. In 1902 he ran for County Commissioner, was elected and served one term be. ing defeated when he tried for a re- election. He then retired to his farm at Pleasant Gap where he lived until several years ago. On September 29th, 1865, Mr. Mil- ler was married to Miss Jane Potter who died some years ago. Of their four children two survive, Mrs. James G. Blythe, of Philadelphia, and George P., of Pitcairn, In addition to his two children he leaves two brothers, Isaac, at the old toll gate, and Robert V., of Belle- fonte. Gregg Post, of which he was a member, had charge of the funeral which was held at 10:30 o’clock on Wednesday morning, burial being made in the Union cemetery. Ii LOSE.—Isaac Lose, Bellefonte and of late known liveryman died at his home in that place on Mon- day evening following an illness of almost two years with dropsy and other complications. He was a son of Isaac and Catharine Baney Lose and was born in Bellefonte about sixty- five years ago. When he grew to manhood he followed in the footsteps of his father and engaged in the liv- ery business which he followed in Bellefonte until about twelve years ago when he moved to Lock Haven. A year or two later he moved to Wil- liamsport where he had since lived. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Stewart who survives with three children, namely: Mrs. Harry Cup- per, of Lock Haven; Mrs. Lena Me- Guire, of Renovo, and James, of Wilmington, Del. He also leaves two brothers, Scott, of Bellefonte, and Louis, of Altoona. The remains were brought to Bellefonte on the 38:10 train on Wednesday and taken direct to the Union cemetery for burial, il i BUSH.—Dr. Charles B. Bush, a na- tive of Centre county, died on Tues- day at the Orthopoedic hospital, Phil- adelphia, following a general break- down as the result of an attack of the influenza during the epidemic last fall. He was a son of Dr. John M. and Mary Ellen Biddle Bush and was born in Buffalo Run valley fifty-nine years ago. He graduated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia in 1885, and started practicing at Osceola Mills. Later he located at Orbisonia, Huntingdon county, where he remain- ed until 1918, when he located in Phil- adelphia. He was a close student and had risen high in his chosen profes- sion when overtaken by illness. He was a member of the Masonic lodge at Orbisonia, the Knights Templar of Huntingdon, and the Shriners of Al- toona. Burial will be made at Orbi- sonia tomorrow. a native of years a well of Williamsport, HARTER.—Daniel Harter, a life- | long and highly-esteemed resident of | Marion township, died very suddenly at the home of Mrs. Mollie Stamm, in Jacksonville, last Thursday morning. Although several times during the week he had mentioned the fact that he did not feel just right he was around as usual and Thursday morn- ing got up and ate a hearty breakfast but dropped dead inside half an hour later. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Harter, who moved to Marion township from Pennsvalley in 1804 and settled on a tract of land which remains in the family to this day. It was on this farm Daniel Har- ter was born on the 15th day of De- cember, 1841, hence was aged 78 years, 5 months and 7 days. He fol- lowed farming most of his life though he retired from active work twenty or more years ago. He was a member of the United Evangelical church for sixty years and was an honest, up- right gentleman. His wife, who prior to her marriage was Miss Sarah Beck, died over thir- ty-eight years ago, but surviving him are four children, namely: George M. and Walter Harter, of Marion township; Mrs. M. S. Betz, of Jack- sonville, and Harry E. Harter, of Clearfield. He was the last of his father’s family but in addition to his children leaves twenty grand-children and ninteen great grand-children, and all but one were in attendance at the funeral which was held at 2:30 o’clock on Saturday afternoon. In the ab- sence of the United Evangelical min- ister Rev. R. F. Gass, of the Reform- ed church, had charge of the services which were held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Betz, after which bur- ial was made in the Jacksonville cem- etery. I I SHAFFER.—Bellefonte friends of VV. Edward Shaffer, of Hanover, were shocked yesterday to learn of his sud- den death there on Wednesday.

KRAPE.—Mrs. Nannie M. Krape, wife of Nathaniel H. Kra , died at her home in Benner township on Sun- day following a prolonged illness with tuberculosis. She was a daughter of George and Mary Markle and was born at Linden Hall almost fifty-six years ago. She was married to Mr. Krape in 1885 and he survives with the following children: Mrs. Mollie Frazier, of Spring Mills; Boyd, of State College; Mrs. Clyde Struble and John, at home. She also leaves one brother and a sister, Harry Markle, of Boalsburg, and Mrs. William Cra- mer, of Altoona. Burial was made in Meyers’ cemetery on Wednesday aft- ernoon. “Why,” said the dealer, “doesn’t three feet constitute one yard?” You cannot credit this story to the special policeman, There is a gentleman engaged in active duty on Allegheny street who is in a sense a faddist. ‘His peculiari- ty runs to the lacing of a shoe. When you see his well-groomed foot—and he has a really neat foot, shoes well polished and the manner of lacing, you will discover a particular fellow, but not a crank. To him, a sloppily tied shoe, whether worn by a lady or gentleman, is a mark of untidiness. And, do you know, that he invariably notices how folks tie their shoe lacers as he passes along the thoroughfares of Bellefonte. Seven years ago he po- litely informed a lady friend that the manner in which she laced her shoes, wasn’t at all in keeping with a well groomed foot. Last week, in meeting that same lady on the street, she placed her right foot forward and re- marked, “How do you like the man- ner in which my shoe is laced?” And he replied—*“that to me is just right.” Contract Let for the Remodeling of Y.
