Hands off now—young gentlemen. While that snake isn’t alive, yet it might bite.” The Hon. J. P. Gephart, father of the late J. Wesley Gephart, was one of our two members of the Legisla- ture and introduced a bill authoriz- ing the council of Bellefonte to ac- quire by purchase or take by con- | demnation proceedings such “adja- cent lands, tenements, water powers, rights of way and privileges’ as might be necessary for the erection of additional water works or extending the present water works of the bor- ough. John Spangler, father of Col. J. L. Spangler, was sheriff of Centre coun- ty and the elder Judge Orvis was on the bench. Sleighing was about over for the season. The Bellefonte council offered a re- ward of $25 for “the arrest and con- viction of anyone found throwing dog poison around on the streets. Last Saturday night “Dick” Har- ris, who was master of the refined iron department at the Valentine iron works gave a birthday party at the Bush house. His guests were Amos Mullen, P. Gray Meek, W.

HUGH S. TAYLOR. The passing away of Col. H. S. Taylor, at his home on east Linn street, at two o'clock Sunday morn- ing, removes another of the men who have been indissolubly connected with the history of Bellefonte for more ‘than four decades. His illness dates back to almost a year ago when he ‘was the victim of a severe attack of pleurisy. While he recovered there- from to a certain extent, and during last summer looked more like his: former sturdy self, with the coming of cold weather, last fall, the effects of the disease again became apparent. His condition through the winter ‘grew steadily worse but he would ‘not give up and as late as two weeks , before his death, or the last Saturday 'in February, made a trip to Jersey Shore in the interest of his work for i the U. S. Treasury Department. He returned home that evening pretty well’ exhausted and he mever left his (bed after retiring that might. He : the Steam Heat and Gas company ‘and had personal supervision of its operation until the plant was closed for good early in 1919. | When but seventeen years of age he enlisted as a private in Company B, Bellefonte's National Guard organi- zation, and his rise through the ranks , was steady until 1896 when he was elected captain. In 1898 he prompt- ly responded to the call for service in the Spanish-American war and with his company was sent to Chickamagua, Ga., to train for ser- vice. Captain Taylor was a mar- tinet for military discipline and reg- i ulations but when they reached the | land assigned them as a camping place he showed that his heart was in the | right place. The ground was low and | the position assigned Company B was a morass of mud and water. He re- fused to camp there, marched his company to higher ground in de- fiance of a higher command and dar- ‘ed them to court martial him.

The fun- eral procession was so long that when the hearse was entering the Union cemetery here the last carriage was in front of the Conrad house—now Temple Court. Benjamin of Schrock, Bishop street, suffered a stroke of paralysis ! last Sunday evening. Mr. Schrock conducted a blacksmith shop where the Undine engine house now stands. Professor Phillipi, the areonaut of Bellefonte, and James Guyer, a Clin- ton county school teacher, were matched for .a five hour's walking match for a prize of $50. Monte Ward,” the noted curve base ball pitcher, left to begin his summer work. Seth H. Yocum left for Washing- ton to take his newly acquired seat in Congress amd Governor Curtin an- nounced his intention of contesting his right to it. “Ed Garman has returned from Crittenden’s Philadelphia Commer- cial College, having graduated, and is now ready to be married.” The wooden awnings that covered the pavement in front of what are now the Miller, Dollar and City Cash stores, on Allegheny street, were torn away and plate glass windows put in the store fromts. ——In Sugar valley, Clinton coun- ty, Col. Henry W. Shoemaker recent- ly located a log cabin that is known to be more than 125 years old. Col- onel Shoemaker purchased the cabin and had it taken down and hauled on four two-horse sleds twelve miles across the mountains to his home at McElhattan, where it will be used as a garden house in a wild flower garden. Although the cabin was built in 1804, only two of the logs were found to be unfit for use in reconstruction. The logs are an extra large size and of clear white pine. The floor boards are of white oak and none of them less than twen- ty-four inches in width. The house was built by Jacob Embigh, an early pioneer from Berks county, whose descendants are still numerous throughout Sugar Valley. ——The average acre yield of corn in Pennsylvania for 1928 was 39 bushels, which was 10 bushels more than the average for the entire coun- try. In Centre county the crop amounted to 965,830 bushels and its value is approximated at $888,560. Berks, Chester, Franklin and York counties grew over twice as much corn as we did and Lancaster over four times as much. minutes before his death. | Hugh Stuart Taylor was a son of ‘Hugh and Anna Starr Taylor and was born in Bellefonte on January 12th, 1868, hence had reached the age of 61 years 1 month and 26 days. He was of Scotch-Irish descent and one of a family of fourteen children. He ! being the eldest and his father a day i labarer, the colonel’'s sturdy strength, , while yet a boy, was turned from ! play into labor as a means of help- | ing out with the family income. He ; did anything he could turn his hand | to and at one time picked flint in the {ore mines at ‘Gatesburg. Later he learned the steam fitting and plumb- ing trade under George Chase, who ‘was then in charge of the steam heat- ing plant, and finally went to S. NL Buck, as his foreman, having had charge of important contracts in var- ious parts of ‘the State. In the mean- tinre his winters were spent at school and he graduated at the Bellefonte ‘High school in 1886. "That same year through the ‘influence of Andrew G. Curtin, Pennsylvania’s War Gover- mor, he was given an appointmet to ‘West Point. He passed the mental examination for entrance but failed {in the physical and for ‘the ensuing ifive years worked ‘at plumbing and anything he could do as a means of raising enough money to go to college. In 1891 his dream was $0 far peglized that he matriculated at State College in ‘the fall of that year. He spent but two years at college then entered the office of Orvis, Bower .& Orvis for study of the law. He was an apt pupil and in 1894 was admitted to the Centre county bar. He remained with the above law firm about eigh- teen months then opened his own of- fice for the practice of his profession. A Democrat by birth and nature he became interested in politics early in life and his work for his party attracted such attention that in 1894 he was elected tax collector of Belle- fonte, and filled the office several terms. In 1896 he was made chair- man of the Democratic Executive committee and elected chairman of the county committee in 1897. He was an aggressive worker and party victory invariably followed his efforts. In later years he also filled the party In 1902 he was elected sheriff of the county and served for three years. It was in July, 1924, while he was away attending the National Guard encampment, that prisoners in the carried: out a jail delivery which resulted in the murder of Jerry Con- do, the old turnkey. Four men escap- ed and but two were caught, Ira Green and William Dillen. They were tried at the August term of court, convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. Sheriff Taylor officiated at their hanging in May, 1905. On retiring from the sheriff's of- fice Col.

Taylor was elected i Colonel of the Fifth regiment as suc- | cessor to Col. Rufus Elder, of Lewis- town, an office he filled until the ‘reorganization of the National Guard" several years later which resulted in ‘the disbandonment of the old Fifth regiment and making Company B a unit in the Twelfth regiment. Col. Taylor returned to Company B as captain, hut a year later resigned and ‘that ended his local military career, but not his loyal patriotism. When ‘the United States entered the World war he wrote the War Department offering his services, but they were not needed. . Though his services were not need- ed in the ranks he gave unstinting- ly to the cause at home. Every squad of citizen soldiers drafted in- to the service was given a prelimina- ny (training by him before ‘they em- barked for a regular training camp, and he always marched at their head when they went to the depot to en- train. In every Liberty Loan, Red Cmess @r other drive his resonant voice was heard from one end of the county to the other exharting all to respond to the limit of their ability. Probably not in half a century has there been any one man se much in demand as a public speaker as Col Tayler. Rossessed of a commanding physique, a splendid voice and a gift of oratory he could always hold the attention of any kind of a gathering. He was always intensely American and patriotic and it was his :special delight to talk on these themes to the youth of the land. nounced in his likes and dislikes, but one whose friendship could always be depended upon. Big-hearted and ; open-handed we could write columns on his many acts of kindness that few people know anything about. When he was compelled to close down the steam heat and gas plaut because he was unable to finance it any longer he secured an appoint- ment under President Wilson as spec- ial income tax investigator in cen- tral Pennsylvania. He proved very successful in this line of work and was continued in the position up un- | til his death. He was a member of the Masonic lodge of Bellefonte; the Odd Fellows, Moose, Elks, Knights of the Golden Eagle, the Modern Woodmen of America and the Logan Fire com- pany. In 1894 he married Miss Kitty L. Bauer who passed away ten years later. In May, 1905, he married Miss Bertha Cross, who survives. He also leaves four sons and three daughters, namely: Hugh and Vincent, at home; Frank, of Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. William Manchester, Margaret and Philip, all at home. He also leaves the following brothers and sisters; Mrs. R. 8, Burns and Miss Lillian, of Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. W. D. Zerby and # | children. Col. Taylor was a man very pro-. E. R.

Furst, Ellis L. ‘Orvis, John Blanchard, S. D. Gettig ‘and W. Harrison Walker were ap- pointed a committee to prepare a minute and resolution on the death of | Col. Taylor. - At a meeting of the as- ‘ sociation, held at two o’clock on Wed- 'nesday afternoon, Judge Fleming presided and former Judge James C. | Furst presented the minute and res- : olution, as follows: TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BAR AS- SOCIATION OF CENTRE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA: — The Committee appointed at a prelimi- nary meeting of this Association, held on March 11, 1929, to draft a minute and suitable resolutions relative to the death of Hugh Stuart Taylor, Esq., a member of this Bar, respectfully report the fol- lowing Minute and Resolutions: Hugh 8S. Taylor died on March 10, 1929 { at his residence in Bellefonte. He was a i son of Hugh Taylor and Annie Starr Tay- i lor, his wife, and was born in Bellefonte, | Pa.. on January 12, 1868, one of fourteen His father was a native of Ire- i land but settled in Bellefonte and married ; his wife here. Hugh S. Taylor was graduated from the 8 | Bellefonte High School in 18835 and there- after, through Andrew G. Curtin, received an appointment to the West Point Military | Academy but later resigned and in 1891 | entered the Pennsylvania State Ccllege :and pursued his studies there. After i leaving Pennsylvania State College he became a student in the office of Orvis, Bower and Orvis in Bellefonte and was ad- ‘mitted to the Bar of Centre County in 1894 and for a number of years practiced successfully at this Bar. On November 8, 1894 he was married to Kitty L. Bauer and this union was bless- ed with four children, Frank Taylor, now of Los Angeles, California, Vincent and Hugh, both of Bellefonte and Mary, who died a few years ago. After the death of his wife he was married to Bertha Cross on the 17th day of May, 1905 and this mar- riage was blessed with three children, Louise Manchester, Margaret Taylor and Pip Taylor all residing in Bellefonte, a. In the year 1896 he was elected chair- man of the Democratic Executive Com- mittee and in 1897 was elected Chairman of the Democratic County Committee. For a number of years he was actively asso- ciated with Democratic politics in Central Pennsylvania and in the year 1902 was elected Sheriff of Centre County and serv- ed throughout the year 1903, 4 and 5. Prior to his election as Sheriff he was the tax collector for the Borough of Belle- fonte for a great many years. He had a long and honorable Military record. He served as a Private in Com- pany ‘‘B” 5th Regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania from the early eighties and rose from the ranks of private to First Sergeant, later to Second Lieuten- ant and later to the Captaincy of his Company and he entered the Spanish American War as Captain, of this Com- pany, on the 27th day of April 1898 and served as such with the Company until the end of the Spanish American War. Dur- ing the encampment at Chickamagua Park. Georgia, he was commissioned to return to Pennsylvania and organize four new companies for the 5th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, or- ganizing said companies at Somerset, Clearfield, Wellsboro and Gettysburg, which regiment was part of the First Brigade of the Third Division First Army Corps and during that time the First Bri- sade was under the command of Colonel Rurchfield. Colonel of the 5th Division. Captain Taylor was the Anjutant Gener- al of this Brigade. After the close of the war he returned with his company to «Bellefonte where it was mmstered out of | service on the 10th day of November. 1898 and within a year he reorganized the company as the National Guard Company and from that time until his elevation to the office of Lieutenant Colonel of the same regiment he kent the companv in the highest possible military standard, and from the office of Lieutenant Cnlonel he was elevated to Colonel of the 5th Reri- ment in which canacity he served until the 5th Regiment National Guard was mmns- tered out by reason of the reorganization of the National Guard of Pennsvlvania. At the opening of the World War Col- onel Taylor immediately offered his ser- vices to the Government, but by reason of his age was declined. He then under- took a service that was rather unique, but nevertheless valuable. From time to time as the classes were called to the Colors under the draft regulations, Colonel Tay- lor took these recruits in hand and gave them prelimina training which stood them in good stead later in the Nation- al Training corps. This preliminary train- ing was noted by the officers of the train- ing camps and the local draft Board re- ceived complimentary communications in recognition of the preparation given to the men. During the World War Colonel Taylor sought every opportunity ‘to render ser- vice to the Government. He was called on in ‘the various Liberty Loan drives, in the nublic meetings called to arouse in- terest in the food and fuel conservation and Red Cross drives and on every occa- sion "his eloquency, his patriotism and his personality moved his audiences to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and resulted in the successful carrying out of the var- ious programs for which he spoke. After the World War mo memorial or patriotic occasion was complete without one of Colonel Taylor's inspiring and elo- auent addresses in support of ‘the occca- sion. In later years Colonel Taylor has been employed in the Internal Revenue Depart- ment of the Federal Government and his very efficient service in many directions in the performance of these duties has been highly esteemed and recognized by , the Department. Many intricate and in- 1 volved tax problems were certified to Colonel Taylor by the Government. He | gave to this work the same energy and | concentrated thought he always exhibited 'in his military life and invariably suc- ceeded ‘in unralvelling the difficulties be- tween taxables and the Government to the entire satisfaction of both parties, and at the time of his death was recognized as an expert in tax matters throughout the district to which he was assigned. Colonel Taylor was endowed with elo- devoid of fear; was energetic and efficient devoil of fear; was energetic andefficient in the accomplishment of any military duties to which he was assigned. As a soldier he was a strict disciplinarian, but all his actions were tempered with kindli- ness. ‘He was a member of a number of fra- ternal organizations, including the Belle- fonte Lodge No. 268 Free and Accepted Masons. The Committee recommends the adop- tion of the foregoing Minute and of the following Resolutions: RESOLVED that in the death of Col- onel Taylor the Bar of Centre County, this community and Cononel Taylor's many steadfast friends have suffered a severe loss and that we all join in hearty recognition of his sterling worth as a man, a soldier and a citizen. RESOLVED that we extend to his wife and family our sincere sympathy. RESOLVED that this Minute and these Resolutions be spread upon the records of this Court and that a copy thereof be sent to Mrs. Taylor. JAMES C. FURST ELLIS L. ORVIS JOHN BLANCHARD S. D. GETTIG W. HARRISON WALKER Following the reading of the min- ute and resolution the meeting was thrown open for remarks and fitting tributes were paid the departed by Dr. L. B. Crawford, of Tyrone, a former | war he was captain of the Sheridan troop; S. D. Gettig, Jchn G. Love, former Judges Ellis L. Orvis and Arthur C. Dale, W. Harrison Walker and John Blanch- ard Esgs. At the conclusion of the latter's remarks he moved the adop- tion of the minute and resolution and the meeting so voted. Members of the bar then marched in a body to the Taylor home, on east Linn street, for the funeral services, which were held at 3:30 o'clock. The funeral was the largest held in Bellefonte since the death of Gen- eral Beaver over twenty years ago. It was semi-military, the organiza- tions present including Spanish- American war veterans, American Legion and Troop B, of the National Guard. Men and women in every walk of life were there, including quite a number of his old associates in the Fifth regiment of over twenty years ago. All the business places in town were closed and the public schools dismissed. Hundreds of pupils lined the streets, standing with bowed heads as the funeral procession mov- ed in mournful solemnity on its way to the cemetery. At the house the services were in charge of Rev. Wil- liam C. Thompson, pastor of the Presbyterian church, who also of- ficiated at the cemetery. As the body was lowered into its last resting place rain drops descend- ed like slowly falling tears and in the fading light of day the military sa- lute over the grave was a pean of victory for one who lived and died so truly American. : I! PARKER. Mrs. Margaret Parker, widow of the late James Parker, of Philipsburg, but who has been mak- ing her home with her daughter, Mrs. Roy Wilkinson, since the latter's re- moval to Bellefonte nine years ago, died quite unexpectedly on Tuesday morning. She had been ill since De- cember 26th, and only last week had returned to the Wilkinson home from the Centre County hospital where she had been undergoing treatment. Pneumonia was the cause of her death. She was in her 72nd year and leaves to mourn her death two daugh- ters, Mrs. Roy Wilkinson, of Belle- fonte, and Mrs. Harry L. Flegal, of Philipsburg. She also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Rose Daggett, of Haver- hill, Mass.; Mrs. F. H. Crawford, of Sacramento, Cal, and Mrs. L. F. Flood, of Grass Flat. Funeral services will be held in St. John’s Catholic church, of which she was a devoted member, at ten o'clock this (Friday) morning, after which the remains will be taken to Osceola Mills for burial in the Umbria ceme- tery.

TITAN METAL COMPANY HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the stock- holders of the Titan Metal company was held in the Bellefonte office, last Friday, at which time the following board of directors was elected: J. L. Kemmerer, of New York, chairman; W. P. Seig, C. A. Cavanaugh, A. S. Miller, C. H. Jacobs, J. H. Allport, Dr. David Dale, S. P. Thorne and W. P. Seig. The board organized by electing W. P.

A. Grove brought to this office an advertise- ment reminiscent of days that are no more. It is a circular letter that was sent out back in the 1880s by Noah W. Eby who was then running a distillery at Woodward. Much water has run by the mill since then and much “Moonshine” has: been poured into the sewers. Dis- cussion of the problem goes on unin- terruptedly, pro and con. Just now Dr. Watchorn is taking up space daily in an endeavor to prove that those who say Mr. Lincoln sold liquor in the country store malign the great Martyr. Scientists are quoted who. declare that alcohol hasn't a particle of nutritive value and is nothing more nor less than a poison. Every- body has his or her own ideas on the matter and all the talking or writing anyone of them may do will not have an iota of effect cn the conviction of the other. It would seem, however, that Mr. Eby thought “Noah W. Eby’s Best” a panacea for all ills, for in his cir- cular he stated that “it is food for the body and brain, enriches the blood, solidifies the bones, hardens: the muscles, quiets the nerves and perfects digestion.’ If it really effected anyone of those beneficent results back in Noah's time the human organism must have changed since then, because the pre- ponderance of opinion now is to the effect that there is no organ in the body that wouldn't be utterly de- stroyed by whiskey. However, we didn’t intend this to lapse into a discussion of the merits or ills consequent upon the use of “Eby’s Best” or any other alcoholic concoction. What we started out to do was write an introduction to “The Saloon’ Keeper's Prayer” which is printed on the reverse side of the circular Mr. Grove brought in for our perusal. It is as follows: The women crusaders visited a ' liquor saloon recently, and tried, by praying, to induce the proprie- tor to close the place. The proprie- tor invited the ladies to seats, ask- ed them to pray, and he then offer-- ed up the following: PRAYER: “Almighty Creator in Heaven® Thou who hast made heaven and earth, and created man in Thine own image as ruler of the earth. Whilst animals are living on grass and water, Thou did’st teach Thy" servant Noah to make wine and Thou didst not punish him for mak-- ing intemperate use of it. At the: wedding of Cana Thine own son, Jesus Christ, transformed water in- to wine when the juice of the grapes was exhausted, that the en- joyment of the \guests might not. be disturbed. The great reformer, Martin Luther, said: ‘He who does: not love wine, women and song, re-: mains a fool all his life long.’ And the Divine commands of the Book: Thou hast given us that man shall drink no longer of water, but shall’ use a little wine for his belly’s sake: and his often infirmities. And all of the great men of this earth have been drinking of the wine which Thou hast given Thy chil-- dren upon earth O Lord! we pray have pity upon the women here: who are not grateful for Thy gifts: but want to make thy children like . beasts of the field and compel them to drink like an ox, while they dress extravagantly and lead their husbands by other eéxtrava- gances, not tending to our well be- ing, to bankruptcy, depriving them of the pleasure of the world; yes: driving them to suicide. O Lord? have mercy upon these ladies, look upon them; they wear not even: the color of face which Thou hast given them, but are sinning against Thee, and not content with na- ture, paint their faces. O Lord! Thou canst perceive that their fig- ure is not as Thou hast made it, but they wear humps on their backs like camels. Thou seest, O Lord! that their hair-dress con- sists of false hair, and when they open their mouths Thou seest their: false teeth. O Lord! just make a: note of the spring and cotton bat-- ting contrivance they wear in their bosom, for no other purpose than to make themselves voluptuous and’ excite in a man a much worse pas-- sion than the use of wine, and for the same reason they have a No. 6 foot pinched into a No. 3 shoe, . and a No. 40 waist squeezed into a No. 17 corset. O Lord! these wo- men want men to patiently accept: of all this without using the power- Thou hast given to man, that all’ women shall be subjected unto: man. They will not bear the bur- dens of married life, obey Thy com-- mands to multiply and replenish the earth, but they are too lazy to raise their own children, and, O, Lord! Thou knowest the crimes they commit. O Lord! have mercy upon them and take them back into Thy bosom, take the folly out of their hearts, give them common- sense that they may see their fool- ishness, and grant that they may be good and worthy citizens of our beloved city. O Lord! we thank Thee for the blessings bestowed upon us and ask Thee to deliver us from all evils, especially hypo- critical women, and Thine shall be the praise forever and ever. Amen.” ————— A ———————— ——It is rumored that a number of men are already at work in an effort to secure the position in the federal Treasury Department’s in- come tax bureau made vacant by the recent death of Col.
