COLEVILLE TO GET WATER.
Council Authorized Extension of Serv-
ice at Monday Night’s Meeting.
At the regular meeting of borough
council on Monday evening the Water
committee was authorized to put down
Tm la six inch water main from the old
—— Don’t overlook the fact that the "Thomas property on north Thomas
street to the borough line, a distance
of 1180 feet. The authorization was
made after Mr. Cunningham, chair-
man of the committee, reported that
twenty residents of Coleville will take
the water as soon as the line can be
put down and that this number will be
increased from six to ten before fall.
That the Bellefonte Central Railroad
company also want the water for their
tank and will bear a portion of the ex-
pense of extending the line from the
borough line to Coleville. The Amer-
ican Lime and Stone company wants
water for their new hydrating plant
and also for a row of nine double
houses. Inasmuch as the Coleville
people want a three inch line and the
American Lime and Stone company
wants to put down a three inch line of
their own, council authorized the lay-
ing of a six inch line to the borough
line, the approximate cost of which
will be from $1200 to $1500.
Mr. Brouse, of the Street commit-
tee, reported that Robert S. Walker
had made a proposition to furnish free
the required amount of limestone
chips if the borough would furnish the
oil to top-dress and put in good con-
dition north Thomas street and the
road to Coleville to the borough line,
the supervisors of Spring township
having agreed to furnish the oil to
complete the road to Coleville from
the borough line. The committee was
authorized to accept the proposition
and see that the street is put in shape
for oiling.
Mr. Emerick called attention to the
deplorable condition of north Water
street and High street from Spring
street down to the brick pavement.
Mr. Cunningham also called attention
to the fact that Spring street is in bad
shape and also Mill street. Inasmuch
as E. J. Stackpole, of the State High-
way Department, has signified his
willingness to do the oiling when they
have their oiler here for the state
highways, the Street committee was
instructed to get all the streets des-
ignated in shape for top-dressing at
that time, which will probably be the
middle of May.
The Street committee reported that
work had been started on digging the
ditch for the sewer-on Pike alley.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes totalling $6,700.
The Special committee reported
progress in the matter of the proposed
mandamus proceedings to annul the
charter of the old Steam Heating com-
pany.
Mr. Waite stated that complaint had
been made about drainage from the
Pennsylvania Match company going
into Spring creek, and president
Walker suggested that the matter

Regarding Benjamin Shaffer’s vre-
quest that he be permitted to tap the
water line on Valentine street, the
committee reported that it is a pri-
vate line and barely large enough to
accommodate the eight families now

thority over it.

will be held at State College on May
24th and 25th. At the same time and
place the State Conservation Council
will hold its annual gathering, so that
the event promises to be one of much
interest. Aside from the business to
be transacted there will be trap shoot-
ing, fly casting, Boy Scout work and
various exhibits of interest to sports-
men and naturalists.
——Next Sunday morning a church
nursery will be inaugurated at the
Lutheran church for the convenience
'of those mothers who would like to
'attend the morning service but who
‘feel that their children are too small
'to take to church. This new depart-
|ment will be conducted each Sunday
‘morning during the 10:45 period of
worship, and mothers may take their
children and leave them in the prima-
ry department of the Sunday school,
where they will be well cared for by
competent nurses.
——The next big event for theatre
goers of Bellefonte will be the staging
of the sparkling musical fantasy,
“Springtime,” on May 9th and 10th,
under the supervision of the John B.
Rogers Producing company, and for
the benefit of the local Campfire girls.
“Springtime” will be bright with
good music, clever acting, attractive
costumes, and a spirit of airy light-
ness through it all that will make a
very popular and charming appeal.
Bellefonte’s best musical and dramatic
talent is included in the cast, and it is
jvery likely the show will play to
crowded houses both nights.

The Choral Society Concert.
The large audience that gathered
at Garman’s opera house, Tuesday
night, to hear the concert given by the
Bellefonte Choral Society was proba-
bly greatly surprised at the preten-
tious manner in which the program
was presented as well as delighted
with the artistic finish in the rendition
of the various vocal and instrumental
numbers.
It has been so long since Bellefonte
has had opportunity of enjoying her
assembled talent that we fancy there
were many there to whom it was a
real revelation.
For weeks Mrs. R. Russel Blair has
been training the Society as much be-
cause of the interest that has been re-
vived in music through the efforts of
the local Music Study club as for any
other reason, but happily she thought
of carrying the work through to pre-
sentation in a concert for the benefit
of the hospital. With fifty voices very
well balanced as to parts the singing
was really brilliant.
The most pretentious and probably
the best executed numbers of the So-
ciety’s contributions were “Fly Sing-
ing Bird,” by Elgar, and the Bridal
Chorus from “The Rosemaiden.”
Mrs. Louis Schad contributed two
violin numbers and was at her best.
First she played “Danse Tziganes”
and had to respond to three encores.
Her second appearance was to play “A
Song of India,” and the exquisite
“Serenade” by Riandagger.
The Penn State Varsity quartet,
composed of C. E. Finley, 1st tenor;
D. V. Bauder, 2nd tenor; P. V. Moore,
baritone, and E. Hill, bass, was ex-
ceedingly popular with the audience,
as is always the case with a good male
quartet. The College men sang with
such confidence and possessed veices
so harmonious in chorus that they
fairly captivated the audience and
might have been singing yet without
fully satisfying some.
Mr. Bauder, the young man who
won the first prize at the vocal con-
test of the federation of State Music
Study clubs at State College last week,
was the soloist and his numbers were
every one a treat. We rather regret-
ted his change of program that de-
prived us of hearing him sing “Dream-
ing Alone in the Twilight.”
Most of the Choral numbers were
supported by a full string and reed
orchestra. The violins were Mr. W.
Burston, Mr. John Dubbs, Miss Mag-
dalene Sunday and Mr. Gilbert Cole.
Mr. W. E. Rumberger, flute; Mr. W.
Anderson, clarinet; Mr. D. Malpass,
cello; Mr. Charles Smith, bass viol,
and Miss Miriam Smith piano.
The net receipts of the concert will
considerably exceed $400. The expens-
es were trifling as everything outside a
bit of labor at the opera house was
contributed. Mr. Brown gave the op-
era house, Mr. Emerick carried the!
musicians from State College back
‘and forth for rehearsals free of
charge. Harter’s music store furnish-
ed the piano, Jacob Barlett hauled it,
Messrs. Bradley, Steele and Johnson
did the stage carpentering. The Ga-
zette, the Republican and this office
did the printing, about everybody in
town advertised in the program and
the ladies of the Auxiliary sold tick-
ets to most everybody who didn’t have
lan opportunity to help in any other
way.
While all of the helpful interest by
local people was inspired by a sense
of duty to a local institution there was
no such obligatory motive on the part
of the College boys, the quartet and
the musicians who augmented the or-
chestra. They came in a spirit of
broader interest in public welfare and
certainly our gratitude to them is very
great. Mrs. Blair entertained them at
her home on Linn street ,after the con-
cert as a personal expression of her
appreciation.
Certainly it was a delightful affair
and even had the hospital not been so

State College Girl Attempts Suicide

Last Saturday's Altocna Tribune
stated that Margaret “Peggy” Coble,
a twenty year old girl of State Col-
lege, attempted to take her life on
Friday evening by swallowing bi-
chloride of mercury tablets. Repent-
ance evidently followed very quickly
after taking the poison as she ran to

appearance in Bellefonte a week from
tonight of Newton and Livingston’s

and two Uncle Tom’s with an angel as
Little Eva and a real villain as Si-

activity and sprightliness this veteran

Academy Baseball Season Will Open
Tomorrow.
The Bellefonte Academy baseball
team will open the season with a game
on Hughes field tomorrow afternoon
with the nine from St. Francis Col-
lege. Game will be called promptly
at 2:30 o’clock. The Academy base-
ball squad has been practicing every
day for their initial tryout and it will
be interesting to attend tomorrow’s
game for the purpose of getting a line-
up on the team. St. Francis always
turns out a good team so that there
is every reason to believe that the
game will be one worth seeing.
Hon. A. G. Morris Wins Hope Chest.
Hon. A. G. Morris recently invest-
ed one dollar in tickets given by the
Catholic Daughters of America on a
hope chest which they awarded last
Saturday and he was the fortunate
winner of the chest. Of course his
many friends stand ready to congrat-
ulate him on his good fortune, but ev-
idently believing that he has passed
the age of hope chests he very gener-
ously gave it to the Bellefonte hospital
and the management of that institu-
tion will probably give him a chance
to win it again at some future date.
