BRIEF COUNCIL MEETING.
Motion Picture and Circus License
Ordinance Passed First Reading.
Louis Hill appeared before borough
council, at its regular meeting cn
{ Monday evening, and requested an’
' adjustment of water tax on his gar-
! age on east Bishop street, which was
| referred to the Water committee.
| Secretary Kelly read an invitation
from the Logan fire company to mem-
bers of council to attend their annual
banquet on Thursday evening, Feb-
.ruary 12th.
A communication was received
from the secretary of the State Fed-
eration of Boroughs notifying coun-
cil that the annual meeting will be
held on February 10th and 11th. Pres-
ident Walker appointed as dedegates
to attend the convention W. J. Emer-
ick and Harry Flack, the burgess and
borough solicitor also being entitled
to attend.
The Street committee reported that
the principal work done during the
past two weeks was hauling snow off
the street.
The water committee reported that
an equitable adjustment had been
made of the water taxes against the
nine months, the owners agreeing to
pay fifty per cent of the tax.
The question of an increase in the
pany for the Phoenix mill property
has been up for discussion at several
opinion being that the borough was
| entitled to a better rental, an in-
matter was referred to the Water
committee and borough solicitor.
An ordinance providing for the
licensing and regulation of theaters,
motion picture houses, open air per-
formances, hawkers, circuses, carni-
vals, ete, passed first reading and
was referred back to the borough so-
licitor for a few minor charges. The
ordinance provides that all theatres
and motion picture houses shall pay a
license of $50 a year; open air per-
formances, hawkers, and tent per-
formances from $5.00 to $10.00 per
day; circuses exhibiting outside the
borough limits but advertising in the
borough and giving a street parade,
from $25 to $50, and carnivals, $5.00
to $10.00. Another provision is that
such theatres, motion picture shows,
circuses or carnivals shall be requir-
ed to employ one or more persons as
special officers to maintain order,
preserve the peace and protect the
public as the occasion may require.
The burgess is empowered to grant
or refuse licenses at his own discre-
i tion. The ordinance will come up at
. the next regular meeting for final
! reading. :
i+ Mr, Badger stated that -a number of
taxpayers were complaining about
! the uselessness of hauling the snow
off the streets, which they character-
ized as a waste of money. Borough
manager Seibert maintained that the
work was not useless but practically
a necessity, and council sustained his
stand in the matter.
| Bills to the amount of $1857,563
. were approved for payment, after
which council adjourned.

No Inter-County Bridge for Philips-
burg.
The viewers appointed by the
i courts of Cenire and Clearfield coun-
| ties to pass on the question of build-
ling an inter-county bridge over the
| Moshannon creek, at the end of Pine
street in the borough of Philipsburg,
met in the latter place last Saturday
morning to hear testimony for and
against the project.
| Centre county viewers were H. B.
Shattuck, of State College; L. E.
Swartz, of Hublersburg, and M. Ward
i Fleming, of Philipsburg. The Com-
missioner’s attorney, S. D. Gettig
Esq., was present with Commissioner
Austin and Clearfield county was rep-
resented by John Scollins, H. A.
Recse and J. S. Michaels as viewers
and A. M. Liveright Esq. represented
their Commissioners.
Much testimony was offered in sup-
port of the need of a permanent strue-
ture to replace the flimsy wooden one
now in use and maintained, by popu-
Jar subscription, but the viewers evi-
' dently thought that the boroughs of
. Chester Hill and Philipsburg should
| bear the expense of a new one, if they
| want it, for they voted five to one
. against it.
And unless they build it themselves
| Philipsburgers will have to be content
with the old bridge.
Little Hope of a Decision in Bank
| Case Before March.
| The Supreme court of the United
States having adjourned until March
little hope of an opinion in the Centre
County bank case being handed down
before that time is entertained here.
| We understand that the Court ad-
journed to afford opportunity of dis-
posing of the cases already argued
before it. Through continuous daily
sittings the tribunal has little time to
devote to the preparation of opinions,
all of which must be exhaustively pre-
pared, consequently occasional ad-
journments are necessary in order
that the Justices can give their undi-
vided attention to the work.
| It sometimes happens, not often
however, that during an adjournment,
the court will reconvene for half a
day to read the findings it has made
up to the moment. Should it do this
during the present adjournment, and
have the local case decided, it might
be handed down before the regular
sittings are resumed in March, but
that probablity is not great.

Bellefonte Academy News Notes.
The annual Academy banquet was
held in the large banquet hall at the
Academy last evening and proved a
most delightful affair. Among the
outside guests present were warden
Stutsman, of Rockview; Rev. W. C.
Thompson, Father Downes and Nel-
son E. Robb, of Bellefonte, and Tom
Davies, coach of Allegheny College,
Pittsburgh.
_ The Pitt Freshmen basket ball team
will play the Academy five on. the
armory floor this (Friday) evening
at 8.30 o’clock. The Pittsburgh tos-
sers are a fast aggregation and
Bellefonte fans will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing some good floor work.
The annual Academy dance will be
held in the armory on Friday even-
ing of next week, February 13th. The
Challis Collegians, of Lewisburg, will
furnish the music and dancing will be
from 9 to 1 o'clock. Tickets, $3.00.
State Highway Bids to be Opened.
Among the state highway bids to
be opened at Harrisburg today for the
awarding of contracts are those for
46,214 feet on route 245 in Snyder
township, Blair county, and Taylor
and Worth townships, Centre county,
and 83,502 feet on route 197 in Boggs,
Union, Huston and Worth townships,
and Unionville borough, the entire
stretch of the Bald Eagle Valley road
from the present state highway at
Snow Shoe Intersection to connect
with the highway at Bald Eagle.
Bids will also be opened tomorrow
for the construction of 11,378 feet on
route 27 in Centre Hall borough, Pot-
ter and Spring townships, which is
‘the road over the Nittany mountain.
If awards are made for the above it
will mean considerable state road
work in Centre county this year and
a consequent demand for workmen
and ground limestone, which will nec-
essarily improve business conditions
in this section.
Nix for Mr. Groundhog.
We know for an absolute certainty
that if all groundhogs in creation had
come out of their winter’s burrow and
taken a peep on Monday morning not
a single one of them would have been
his shadow as reflected by the sun,
because for a certainty no sun was
visible either early in the morning or
during the day.
Of course we are not at all super-
stitious, nor do we believe in signs to
any great extent, but groundhog or no
groundhog, we believe the crest of the
winter has been passed and an early
spring is due. As a rule we generally
have about two months of real winter
weather, with a total snowfall approx-
imating three feet. Cold weather set
in early in December, and with the
exception of a few mild days, has con-
tinued until the present time. The to-
tal snow fall to date has been well
onto three feet, so that we have had
almost the normal amount of winter
and snow and an early spring will be
in line with the general routine of na-
ture.

Gilbert Newman, Milesburg, Meets
Death at Chemical Lime Co.
Plant, Tuesday Evening.
Gilbert Newman,
a well known
young man of Milesburg, was instant-
ly killed at the plant of the Chemic-
“al Lime and Stone company, in Buffa-
lo Run valley, about eight o’clock on
Tuesday evening. He was braking on
the stone train and while riding on the
' front end of the dinkey engine slipped |
and fell, the engine passing over his
body, which was badly mangled. The
engine was piloted by Walter Cath-
| cart, and he did not see Newman fall
and his first knowledge of the horri-
| ble accident was derived from the
bumping of his engine as it passed
i over Newman’s body. The latter was
"dead when picked up. The young man
| had worked for the Chemical company
i only a short time, having gone there
when a night shift was put on several
weeks ago.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
i liam Newman and was born in Miles-
burg twenty-three years ago. He was
married last June te Miss Emma
Dyke, of Milesburg, who survives,
i with no children. He leaves, however,
his parents and the folloing brothers .
“and sisters: George, of Milesburg;

_ Luther, Mary, James, Helen, Charles,
| Pearl, Donald and Blaine, all at home.
| Funeral services will be held in the

Big Game Preserve Opened in Centre
County.
The State Game Commission an-
nounced on Monday the opening of a
new game preserve in Centre county.
It is located in Rush, Taylor and
Worth townships and includes 8,690
acres. It is forty miles from any
other game preserve in this part of
the State.
the State for the land was $23,460.12.
The largest acreage was purchased
from the Christ Sharer estate, the
heirs of which are widely scattered
and numerous defects found in some
of the titles. In fact it took five years
to get everything straightened out
and the deal consummated, the price
paid the heirs being $12,278,33. The
next largest landholder was John Kel-
ly, of Port Matilda, who received
$6,944.53; N. B. Spangler, of Belle-
fonte, was paid $1,099.06, and the
Centre Game preserve $3,007.03.
About 2,500 acres out of the
heart of the 8,690 acres tract will be
set aside as the refuge wherein hunt-
on the remaining portion of the lands
surrounding the refuge legal hunting
will be permitted.
This tract of land is on the head-
waters of Cold Stream, a tributary
of the Moshannon, and is particular-
ly well watered. The tract purchased
extends along the Allegheny moun-
tain ridge between Bald Eagle valley
and the Moshannon and between two
State highways crossing the Alleghe-
ny mountain, one from Philipsburg to
Port Matilda, the other from Osceola
Mills to Tyrone. There is a good
growth of trees and shrubs suitable
for game and bird food.

Jiggs and Maggie.
Just as the people look for the
circus every summer, so do the chil-
dren, both big and little, look for the
yearly coming of the greatest car-
toon comedy ever conceived by mor-
tal mind, “Bringing Up Father” by
George McManus. The presentation
for the current season is entitled
“Bringing Up Father in Ireland.” As
usual with these productions, it will
be entirely new in every particular.
Readers of the Sunday “Funny Page”
often wonder how McManus keeps it
going year after year with something
new in the way of fun every week.
Likewise does it keep him busy pre-
paring new stunts for the living char-
acters of “Jiggs and Maggie” for
their yearly stage play. “Bringing
Up Father in Ireland” looks to be one
of the most popular of the seemingly
endless series. The play presents no
intricate problems or situations. Itis
just plain fun from beginning to end;
a play for the masses. At the Moose
Temple theatre, Tuesday evening,
February 10th. Get your tickets
early.

Mr. Aplin came to Bellefonte from
Philadelphia three years ago last
month, after the Association: building
had been remodeled and during his
term of service labored hard and
earnestly to build up the Association
onto a paying basis and while he
didn’t succeed he came nearer doing
so than probably any other man could
have done. His entire term of service
at the Y. has been one of conscientious
christian fortitude. The unfortunate
circumstances which made it neces-
sary for him to terminate his service
are naturally to be deplored, but it
is a commendable fact that in so do-
ing it is to the regret of all concerned
and Mr. Aplin has the best wishes
for his future success wherever he
may finally locate.
At present however, he has no de-
finite plans for an immediate change
from Bellefonte. He is figuring on
several lines of christian work but it
‘will probably be some weeks before
| they will develop. In the meantime he
will assist in religious work in Centre
county, expecting to give all of next
week to a revival meeting in Miles-
burg.

A Lost Triumvirate.
In the field of christian endeavor
this community has been fortunate, in
the past few years, in having three
men of unusual ability in their chos-
en work. All of them young, full of
enthusiasm and leaders in every local
| undertaking with eyes single to the
! harvest that might be brought to the
| granary of the Master.
| ~ One of them left Bellefonte last
week. Another departed on Wednes-
day. Before many more weeks are
| gone the third will have transferred
part of the time since her step-daughter | his talents to other fields.
Of course there is passing regret
—A. F. Hockman, one of the largest com- | among the intimate friends of each of
| these men, but does the community at
| large realize the public loss. As rec-
tor of St. John’s Episcopal church,
| Malcolm DePui Maynard; as pastor of
| St. John’s Lutheran, Wilson P. Ard,
as general secretary of the Y. M. C.
A., Stephen S. Aplin, have been a tri-
umvirate in the spiritual and social
life in Bellefonte that will scarcely be
replaced. All with personalities that
appealed specially to youth, with en-
thusiasms that knew no bounds in the
work they would do and gifts of ex-
pression so fine as to make them com-
manding before any audience they
are, indeed, types, possibly thought-
lessly lost, only to be seriously regret-
ted.
No more convincing proof to us is
needed than was the sight of that fine
group of coming men of the town who
followed Rev. Maynard to the train
when he left on Wednesday. Who will
cultivate the seeds he had undoubted-
ly sown in the rich soil they afforded.
Mrs. M. C. Haines, of Rebers-
burg, and H. H. Appledorn Jr, of
State College, were the only two Cen-
tre county contestants who had a look
in for the last cross-word puzzle prize
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
They were awarded $1.00 each.
