In fact he was one : Bros, he purchased the propert of of the big men in the business at that the Show Rowe Mining y time. His work in connection with the ex- tension of the . telephone service brought him in contact with some of the ablest men in the State, both in a | i i business and political way and he thus . gained an intimate knowledge of many of the big political deals that were pulled off in those days. Infact he was a trusted lieutenant of the late Governor Hastings and was in- variably in the thick of the old-time political fights which used to be an annual occurrence in Centre county, but which now, alas, have passed into history. : To Mr. Malin, without question, be- longs much of the credit for laying the solid foundation on which the tel- ephone business is now conducted in this vicinity. Thirty years or there- abouts of the best years of his life were spent with the Bell people and in 1901 he resigned and for two years was engaged with the late Alexander Patton, of Clearfield, in the contract- ing business in Cambria county. Ear- ly in 1903 he was persuaded to go with the newly organized Huntingdon and Clearfield Telephone and Tele- graph company and the ensuing six years were spent in establishing that company, the Indiana Telephone com- pany and others on a sound founda- tion and the final merger of all into the American Union company. In 1909 he retired from the telephone business and accepted a district agen- cy for the Mutual Life Insurance com- pany of New York. He made a suc- cess of this business from the begin- ning and frequently made the record for business written in his territory. He continued in the life insurance business until failing health compel- led him to lay aside active work and entire life, seventy-three years ago. | he went to the Cresson sanitorium in the hope that the rest and treatment 1d i : woull prove benenetal, bu though , merman Block. She was the last of his life may have been prolonged, his ailment had become too deep-rooted to be overcome. Mr. Malin was a member of the Presbyterian church, the Bellefonte Lodge of Masons and a thirty-second degree member of the Williamsport consistory. On November 23rd, 1871, he was united in marriage with Miss Eliza- beth Miles, who passed away six years ago. He is survived, however, by three children, Miss Sarah P. Malin, Mrs. Helen B. Shugert and Ogden B. | and one grand-daughter, Miss Elizabeth Shu- | Malin, all of Bellefonte, gert. The remains were brought to Belle- fonte last Saturday evening and con- veyed to his late home on east How- ard street where funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock on Tuesday after- noon.

Some years ago he became interested in some timberland in Florida but a good part of that is as yet undeveloped. During the past few years he has spent-the winters in Florida and his - summers at Snow Shoe. In addition to being a shrewd busi- ness man Mr. Budinger was a genial, companionable gentleman.

Ives Harvey over the nomination for Assemblyman on the Republican ticket Tuesday’s pri- maries would undoubtedly have been a record-breaker for a short vote. Take the Democrats, for example. They were not worked up over any lo- cal contests and not much interested in the fate of the ticket at large and the result was less than a thirty per cent. vote was out. Of course the nice weather and the fact that the farmers simply couldn’t spare the time from their work to go to the polls was prob- ably the main reason for the short vote in the country districts. t And even with the one or two live- ly contests théy had on hand the usual vote polled at the primaries. It is altogether possible that the result would have been the same even had the vote been much larger, only the majorities may have been more pro- nounced. But it must be admitted that many voters are lax in their interest in the primaries. This fact is too often true, and very frequently results dis- astrously in getting men on the tick- ets who should not be there, but this is hardly true this year. In fact, not one in ten voters knew one man from another on the ticket outside of the local candidates, and no less which of them was nominated, so ‘ that there was little lost by the small ; vote cast on Tuesday.

Gregg Post preferred a request for | an appropriation of fifty dollars to- ward the Memorial day expenses and the same was granted. | The Street committee reported that the borough manager had made an ' agreement with contractor Frank T. ' Murphy for the use of the Bellefonte i steam roller on his state road con- | tract, he to pay at the rate of $12 per ! day for the actual time the roller is in use. . The Water committee reported | $76.50 collected on the 1918 water du- plicate by the borough manager and turned over to the secretary of coun- tefl, The Fire and Police committee pre- sented the burgess’ check for $19.50 for licenses collected. The committee further reported that some men op- erating dray wagons and motor buss- es in Bellefonte have refused to pay the stipulated license and the com- mittee was instructed to consult the acting solicitor regarding the ordi- nance covering the same. The Street committee was also instructed to find out about the traffic ordinance, as there is entirely too much reckless driving of automobiles in town, and if both ordinances are according to law council will see that they are en- forced. The Finance committee asked for i the renewal of a note for $2,000 for ‘six months from May 2nd and the same was authorized. The Special committee presented the supplemental agreement with the State-Centre Electric company cover- ing the pumping of water for the bor- ‘ough and collection of water dupli- cates. The same had been approved by the acting solicitor and upon rec- _ommendation of the committee the agreement was accepted and approv- ed by council. The Water committee was instruct- ed to consult with the officials of the G. F. Musser Wholesale company and enter into an agreement for the lease of the Phoenix mill property now oc- cupied by them. By a resolution of council the bur- gess, the acting solicitor and mem- bers Hard P. Harris and J. M. Cun- ningham were appointed delegates to the annual meeting of the Association of Boroughs which will be held at ' Stroudsburg June 22nd to 24th inclu- sive. | Bills to the amount “approved and council adjourned. i { —————— eee A GOOD CIRCUS COMING. { Rhoda Royal's Circus Billed for Belle- | fonte. | The advent of the Rhoda Royal's greatest shows, on Monday, May 31st, “will, it is said, mark an epoch in the | matter of tented amusements in Belle- | fonte. That this show will present the i biggest and finest street pageant | Bellefonie has yet witnessed, 1s as- 1 693 | carted without qualification. That the | circus company numbers more circus | performers and of a better order of merit than have heretofore been gathered together under any one : management, is also stated positively. { Thousands of dollars cash were ex- | pended last winter in accumulating new features to add to the glories of ' the “Rhoda Royal Greatest Shows.” ‘ix The menagerie is said to be a very ' complete one, containing the finest collection of rare wild beasts ever on ' the coast. The newspapers all along the line speak highly of this huge en- tertainment, and the “small boy,” as well as those older folks who will be delighted again with the feats of the { many male and female performers, the handsome horses, the wonderful ex hibition of wild beasts in the circu- | lar steel cage, the marvelous aerial i acts, and the exciting races on the hippodrome track. Exchanges are all | unanimous in praising the courtesy of | Royal’s employees while handling the ' immense crowds and finding seats for late comers. The lack of “sure thing” men and | fakirs also adds materially to the en- | joyment of the spectator. | The reputation of Rhoda Royal for | faithfully carrying out all his advance promises and for dealing fairly with | the public in all things, affords posi- | tive assurance that his show will . here before. ——Those who believe the adage “money talks,” will admit that Gen- eral Wood's campaign fund is taciturn enough.

The ballot on Tuesday was not only unusually large but so complicated that it took the or- dinary voter from two to five minutes to find out who he wanted to vote for, and quite a number of ballots were invalidated in part because the voter voted for too many candidates. And then the stupendous task of counting the vote has become such a bugbear that it is rather difficult to get men to serve on the election boards. And it isn’t any wonder, either, when the fact is considered that the election board in the North ward of Bellefonte. not only worked all of Tuesday night but until nine o'clock or later Wed- nesday morning before they got their count completed and return sheets made out. In fact many of the elec- tion boards in the county worked un- til almost morning to get their re- turns out. — News of the death of William T. Hildrup Jr., at the Penn-Harris, in Harrisburg, a week ago, was received in Bellefonte with much regret, many persons here remembering Mrs. Hil- drup, as Miss Florence Houck.
