A PLEA FOR ARMENIANS.
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.

MILLER.—Abram V. 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.

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

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

toona. Burial will be made at Orbi-

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

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.

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-

ed church, had charge of the services
which were held at the home of his

ial was made in the Jacksonville cem-

SHAFFER.—Bellefonte friends of
VV. Edward Shaffer, of Hanover, were
shocked yesterday to learn of his sud-
den death there on Wednesday. While
no one here knew it, yet Mr. Shaffer
had been a sufferer with heart trouble
the past four or five months and a se-
vere attack on Wednesday caused his
death. $n .

Samuel B. Shaffer and was born at
Rebersburg about fifty years ago.
When a young man he came to Belle-
fonte and entered the store of Joseph
Bros. as a clerk, a position he filled
very acceptably a few years. Up-
wards of twenty-five years ago he
left Bellefonte and went to Bedford
where he remained but a short time
and then located at Hanover where he
engaged in the clothing business in
which he has been quite successful.
He was married about five years ago
hence is survived by his wife but no
children.. He also leaves his father,
living near Rebersburg; three sisters
and one brother, namely, Mrs. S. A.
Bierly, of Rebersburg; Claude Shaf-
fer, of Hanover; Mrs. Elizabeth
Brown, of State College, and another

years age. The greater part of her
life was spent here but about twenty
years ago the family moved to Atlan-
tic City where Mr. Wian died in Au-
gust, 1917, and a son followed him
three months later. About a year ago

asked for one vard of pork. “All
right,” said the apt dealer, and laid
down three pigs feet. The customer
in awe asked how he figured that out.

News of Bellefonte Public Schools.
The students of the household arts
department of the Bellefonte High
school, under the direction of Miss
Dashiel, entertained the members of
the Bellefonte school board at a din-
ner on Wednesday evening of this
week.
While it hardly seems possible, yet
it is a fact, nevertheless, that the an-
nual commencement will be held next
week, and the first event of that mo-
mentous occasion will be the alumni
reception and dance in the Bush Ar-
cade hall this (Friday) evening.
Tickets will be 50 cents for alumni
and $1.00 for the general public.
As stated last week Dr. W. K. Mec-
Kinney will preach the baccalaureate
sermon in the Presbyterian church at
7:30 o’clock on Sunday evening, and
the annual declammatory contest will
take place at the High school building
on Monday evening.
The closing exercises of the pupils
in the brick building in the South
ward will be held on Wednesday
morning at 10 o’clock and those of
the primary and intermediate grades
in the High school building at 2
o’clock Wednesday afternoon.
The High school graduating exer-
cises will be held on Thursday even:
ing in the High school auditorium,
when Hon. Emerson Collins, of Wil-
liamsport, will make the commence-
ment address.
An exhibition of the work of the
students in the industrial arts, man-
ual training and household arts will
be held at the High school building
Monday to Thursday, inclusive, of
next week, and patrons of the schools
as well as the public at large are in-
vited to visit the school and inspect
this exhibit.
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. MC. A,
The building committee in charge
of the work of remodeling the Belle-
fonte Y. M. C. A. building met recent-
ly and awarded the contract for the
work at a contract price of $5,200.
This, however, does not include the
heating plant or any expenses for
plumbing. The work of remodeling
the building will be begun at once and
will be practically along the lines of
the plans outlined in this paper some
weeks ago.

A Memorial.
In loving memory of our dear fath-
er and husband, Alexander Risk, who
died suddenly May 28th, three years
ago.
He bade no one a last farewell,
He said good-bye to none;
The heavemly gates were opened,
A loving voice said come:
And with his farewell unspoken
He gently entered home.
—His Wife and Children.
