FE Mrs. Calloway Writes of Many Inter- esting Things Seen in Her Travels. Mrs. Elizabeth Calloway, with Clarks cruise of the “Lancastria’” to the West- ern Mediterranean and Norway, has written a friend the following letter: Aboard Ship, July 28th. This cruise appealed to me from Norway and Sweden’s points; then Portugal and Tangier, were also at- tractions. Portugal, while so unlike Spain, is yet so near the former that much of the old Moorish exists. Lis- bon is beautifully laid out with its boulevards, cathedrals and museums. Many of the cathedrals and monas- teries have been turned into orphan- ages—one, famous for its architectur- al beauty and the richness of its in- terior, has seven hundred boys whom we saw at their noon services; here are buried some of the royal family and Gomez, the poet. One museum contains twenty-six coaches of royal- ty dating back to 1500, without springs but with beautifully carved ornamental figures, gilded and hand- painted body and plush lined. As the door opens, there is an ivory step with gold tracery. Six and twelve horses were used to draw them. They are from many countries as the intermar- riages were numerous and each prin- cess came in the coach of her own country. A few of us went to Contra, the old Moorish city where are several beau- tiful castles—one, the summer home of the king and queen of Portugal be- fore it became a republic, open to the public for a small fee, is located sev- enteen hundred feet up on top of the mountain. The furnishings and many gifts from other sovereigns are intact. The altar of the private chapel is carved from one piece of marble with figures representing seraphims and cherubims with the figure of Christ in the centre. The drive to the castle winds back and forth up the mountain, trees overlapping, many of cork—the first time I had ever seen the cork tree. The most interesting castle is a very old one of the eleventh century and now a museum. Particularly unique, are the two chimneys in the kitchen, rising like inverted cones, to carry the smoke and fumes up; their fires are in small openings along a stone counter—<circular, where all cooking was done, except the two ovens made of tile. The rooms are all intact with their furnishings and huge fireplaces. In the large salon, the ceiling is beamed and, in the open- ings, magpies are painted; the story goes that the King was caught kissing one of the maids of honor and was told upon, hence said they were all magpies and had them painted to re- mind the gossips. In another room, the ceiling is of beautiful swans—the favorite bird of his daughter, but most unique of all is the bath. In a small court with lovely trees and pots of flowers is an alcove in beautiful green tile, back of which is another alcove raised about ten inches; the attendant left us a moment and, from some un- seen part, turned on the water which ‘fell in gentle sprays from side walls and ceiling—one-half could be on or off at once—so, you see, the shower is not a new device. The crystal and china, the Moorish inlays and carv- ings were exquisite. From there we went to a place, built by Sir Francis Cook, of England, where flowers of every country, trees, fountains, marble statuary and rustic grottoes greet the eye; a castle called Monserate, Moorish in design with carved stone work and furnishings magnificent, formal gardens, rare plants, really beyond description; fuchsias and heliotrope climb its _ walls. This far excels the gardens of Bintenzorg in Java, or the Paridenia gardens of Kady in Seylon. Our next stop of interest was Tan- gier—the first time our cruise has stopped there. Here we saw the Sul- tan’s palace, now vacant, as he has left his hundred wives, scattered, ex- cept the one he has taken with him to Paris. It is a magnificent place, with modern conveniences, took seven years to build and in which he lived only six months. The mantles, two in each of the rooms except those oc- cupied by the wives, were imported from Italy. His wives were all on the second floor, six and eight in one room, with large corridors to stroll through while the Sultan’s apartments were on the first floor opening onto gardens of flowers with tiled fountains constantly playing. It is rumored the palace will be turned into a hotel. Our guide, with great pomp, announced he would ask the privilege of showing us the men at work at the fort. We all were interested and what was it but an electric washing machine! The natives are Bedouins, many Moham- medans, and the Riffs are the men fighting against the Spaniards. We looked across the hills, many miles away, and saw the smoke of battle mow raging. The children of these Riffs have a shaven head, except a knot of hair left on the right side at the top, mostly red hair as henna is a favorite color and they dye it. A flower, called Datura, growing in the garden of the palace, was handed us among many roses. It is shaped like a calla lily and dried and powdered is used to cure asthma. Of course, Cadiz and Seville, Rome, Naples and Monte Carlo were not new to me but from Rome I took the trip to Pisa and Genoa, not having been there and wishing to see the one re- maining wonder of the world—the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It is mag- nificent—the Baptistry Campo Santa, where earth was brought from Jeru- salem to bury their illustrious dead; the cathedral with its priceless altars, its lantern of Gallileo the great as- tronomer and Sarto’s picture of St. Agnes, also its mosaics. The Bap- tistry, almost the height of the tower, is round in form, and in it, the echo is that of an organ pealing forth sound. When the attendant sings a few notes and claps his hands, it sounds as if the multitude were doing it. When at Monte Carlo, a few of us got in the prince’s palace over at Manaco, but I must stop and am sure my thrill is yet to come when we reach Norway in a few days. It is now 9 p. m. and light as “early evening. There are only 380 of us on as the other 380, re- turning from across Europe, will re- join us when we stop at Cherbourg at midnight. Friday we will get to Gothenburg, Sweden, thence on to Christiana, Norway, Bergen, Stock- holm and over to Scotland, back through the channel to Hamburg and up to Berlin where we turn homeward. B.B. C. RIPKA.—Jacob J. Ripka, a native of Centre county, but for a number of years a resident of Duncansville, Blair county, died on Saturday night at the State sanitorium at Cresson, where he had been a patient the past four years. He was a son of Jacob and Amanda Ripka and was born at State College on February 26th, 1877, hence was 48 years, 5 months and 27 days old. His boyhood days were spent in Centre county but when he grew to manhood he went to Altoona and entered the employment of the Pennsylvania rail- road, learning the trade of a machin- ist, continuing to work for the com- pany until overtaken by illness. He was a member of the Evangelical church, Washington camp No. 791, P. 0. S. of A., of Duncansville, Mt. Mo- riah chapter Royal Arch Masons, Portage lodge F. & A. M., of Holli- daysburg, and the P. R. R. relief asso- ciation. On March 20, 1900, he married Miss Hilda N. Sheidy, who survives with five children, Eugene, of Altoona; Mrs. Anna Fawkes, Mrs. Samuel Lan- dis, Miriam and Russell, all of Dun- cansville. He also leaves his mother, Mrs. Amanda Ripka, at the old home at State College, and the following brothers and sisters: William Ripka and Mrs. Catherine Horner, of State College; Howard, at Milroy, and Mrs. Anna Sheesley, of Lewistown. Funeral services were held on Mon- day evening at his late home in Dun- cansville by Rev. Isaac Kreider, and on Tuesday morning the remains were taken to Lewistown for interment. [ I THOMAS — William W. Thomas, a native of Centre county, died at his home at Austin, Potter county, last Friday evening, following a prolonged illness. He was sixty-three years of age and was born and spent his boy- hood life in the neighborhood of Stormstown. As a young man he lo- cated in upper Bald Eagle valley where he lived until about twenty years ago when he moved to Austin and accepted a position in one of the big paper mills at that place. He was twice married, his first wife having been Miss Matilda Woodring, of Port Matilda. Two children sur- vive by this marriage. His second wife was Miss Grace Hunter, of Ty- rone, who survives with no children. His surviving brothers and sisters are Mrs. Washington Irvin, of Belle- fonte; Mrs. Stewart Weston, of Bell- wood; David A. Thomas, of Loveville; Arthur C., of Paradise; Daniel, in the west, and John, of Port Matilda. The remains were taken to Tyrone on Saturday, to the home of his wife’s parents, where funeral services were held on Monday, after which burial was made in the Black Oak cemetery, north of Port Matilda. il ll SCHRUDERS.—Elmer E. Schru- ders died at his home in Tyrone on Wednesday afternoon following an ill- ness of some months with a complica- tion of diseases. He was a son of Lemuel and Rose Schruders and was born at Pennsylvania Furnace sixty- two years ago. The early part of his life was spent at that place but thir- ty-five years ago he moved to Tyrone where for years he was employed in the paper mill. He married Miss Mary Gates, of Loveville, who died thirty-one years ago but surviving him are one daughter, Mrs. J. L. Focht, of Bellwood; one sister and three brothers, Mrs. Mary Keefer, of Spruce Creek valley; David, Jay and Harry Schruders, of Tyrone. Burial will be made in the Grandview ceme- tery, Tyrone, this afternoon. | i ; KERN.— Albert Kern, a widower who moved to Axe Mann several months ago from the eastern end of the county, died at the Centre County hospital last Thursday. Several weeks previous he had had a number of teeth extracted and some days later was taken suddenly ill. It is not certain, however, whether the pulling of the teeth contributed to his illness or not. He was a son of Jacob and Leah Confer Kern and was born on May 30th, 1876, hence was 49 years, 2 months and 20 days old. He was a painter by trade and a good, indus- trious citizen. He is survived by a number of children. Burial was made on Monday afternoon in the Paradise cemetery. Mr. and Amos Cole and their two daughters, with a party from Lewistown have been occupying the Nittany Country club this week. A number of friends in this community have been their guests during their stay. le nL Britain in America. British America, which consists of Canada, Newfoundland and a number of islands, has an area of 3,750,000 square miles, while the area of the United States and its possessions is 3,743,446 square miles. Thus Britain has a little more territory, but much of it is so far north as to be of com- paratively little value. DEUS er It was a hot day and seven cars were waiting their turn at a filling station. The last one was a steaming little Rattler, with six rattles and a button. Finally it got its turn and the pesvish attendant yelled: “How many gallons?” The driver of the Lizzie held up one finger. “Say,” bellowed the attendant, “what are you trying to do, wean it?” | Church Services Next Sunday BOALSBURG LUTHERAN CHURCH.

Altoona, Pa., August 26.—“Bob” McDonogh, heir to the throne of the illustrious Tommy Milton, enters La- bor day classic here, carrying with him the mastership recently accorded him by his tutor, as he left the shores of America for a European invasion. McDonogh, who was taken from the wings of a stunting aeroplane only two years ago on the west coast by Milton, who was amazed by his death- defying parachute and acrobatic stunts, now takes the wheel of his master’s car, to team with Norman Batten, second of the Milton selection. His inherited chariot, highly tuned and super-charged to a degree of per- fection is heard in practice spurts, and the roar of his clock-like motor echoes through the trees of the surrounding mountainland. Predictions are made that when the call of the veteran starter, Fred J. Wagner, is heard here Labor day, this daring young driver, yet in his second year of professional racing, will make an extraordinary effort to uphold the honors that have been bestowed upon him thus far in racing circles. CENTRE HALL. The tent holders on Grange park are beginning to move into their tents. On Wednesday, E. L. Bartholomew, of Altoona, accompanied his family to their home in that city.
