FRANTZ.—Mrs. Mary C. Frantz,
widow of two veterans of the Civil
war, died at her home at Wilmore,
Cambria county, on Wednesday of
last week, following a prolonged ill-
ness.
Her maiden name was Mary C.
Murphy and she was born in Centre
county on April 25th, 1846, hence had
reached the age of 83 years, 1 month
and 17 days. Early in 1865 she mar-
ried John Flick, a soldier home on a
furlough. He died twelve years lat-
she married Jacob
Frantz, of Worth township. Mr.
Frantz died in 1908 and since then

Miss Bella Rankin, ane of our ex-
cellent public school teachers, and
Miss Kate Green, of this place, shed
the light of their agreeable faces ov-
er the commencement exercises at
Birmingham Seminary.
Gov. Curtin will deliver the Fourth
of July oration at Clearfield and Gen.
Beaver will orate at Sunbury.
Misses Kate Heinen and S. V. Wat-
son of Milton, are spending a few
days with Mrs. A. O. Furst.
A boy by the name of James
Parks has accused Harry Baney with
stabbing him in the legs during a
rough and tumble altercation they had
over about the planing mill. Parks
is heavier and older than the Baney
boy and is said to have started the
trouble.
The story is being told around that
while the wedding of Horace G. El-
der and Miss Clara VanValin was be-
ing solemnized in the Methodist
church at Unionville last Sunday a
teamster who had left his horse at
the church door, untied, was trying to
watch both the ceremony and the
horse. Just when the ring was be-
ing placed on the finger of the bride
the eaves dropping guest yelled:
“Who-a! stand still there, you brute.”
Of course he meant the horse, be-
cause it had just started to move off.
Tomorrow night there will be a big
festival at Zion for the benefit of the
band at that place. They are going
to have a great time. There will be
a fantastic parade, Prof. Phillippi
will make a balloon ascenson and do
tight rope walking and a blind boy
will play an organ. The Bellefonte
band is going down.
Gotelieb Haag celebrated his fif-
tieth birthday with a big dinner at
his hostelry in Pleasant Gap last Sat-
urday night.
It is expected that W. H. Noll’s
new store house and hall at Pleasant
Gap will be ready for occupancy a
few days before the Fourth of July.
The most wonderful invention ever
exhibited in Bellefonte is the Edison |
phonograph that was shown at
Brown's corner last week and Mon-
day and Tuesday of this week. Peo-
ple came from all over the county
to see it and no wonder for it will
laugh, cry, sing, imitate cats and
dogs; in fact repeat anything exact-
ly as it is shouted into it. The con-
traption is a cylinder covered with
tinfoil and as this cylinder revolves
a fine needle travels along it mak-
ing indentations in the tin foil. The
indentations are made by the sound
waves working against a diaphragm
to which the needle is attached. Af-
ter this is done the cylinder is just
turned the other way and all the
sounds that go into it come right
out again. The instrument was pur-.
chased by Mr. Butts, a brother of
David and the late Jerre Butts who
intends taking it to California, where
he says he can make a fortune out
of it.
Mrs. William A. Thomas, the ven-
erable mother of Jacob and Isaac
Thomas died last Monday night in
her 87th year.
Mart Cooney’s “Wild Irishman”
won the race last Saturday. His best
mile was in 3:05. Isaac Lose’s horse
“Dick” is a good goer but he didn’t
seem to have the wind.
The outstanding features of the
commencement exercises at State
College, which will begin next Sun-
day, will be the baccalaureate ser-
mon, an address on Martin Luther,
a “musical soiree,” an artillery salute
and the Junior contest for the Kaine
prize.
Benjamin Beaver has purchased
the stage line from here to State
College and will take charge on July
1st.

TWO EASTERN PRISONERS
ESCAPE FROM ROCKVIEW.
Steal a Car to Make Their Getaway.
One Recaptured.
Two of the prisoners brought to
Rockview on June 7th after being
transferred to the western peniten-
tiary from Philadelphia county,
made their escape last Friday. They
were Peter Evangelist, serving a five
to ten year sentence for breaking
and entering and larceny, and
Charles Cole, also doing five to ten
years for burglary.
The men cut a hole through the
wire stockade and right at hand
found a Ford car belonging to C. E.
Emert, of Lock Haven, who had
driven to Rockview to visit a prison-
er. The ignition key was in the car
and the two prisoners jumped in,
started the car and drove away with-
out being seen. They went west as
far as Warriorsmark where the car
was abandoned.
Evangelist was arrested in Lock
Haven late Saturday evening but re-
fused to tell how he got there.
was brought to Bellefonte early Sun-
day morning and on Monday morn-
ing was taken before Judge Fleming
for sentence. He told the court that
he told prison officials not to bring
him to Rockview as the temptation
to escape was too great, but they
brought him anyway.
His reason failed to carry much
weight with the judge who gave him
from five to ten years to serve after
he has completed his original sen-
tence. Cole, the other prisoner who
escaped, has not yet been caught.
Another prisoner sentenced . on

SNOW SHOE PLANNING
FOR A GLORIOUS FOURTH.
While there will be several larger
Fourth of July celebrations in Cen-
tral Pennsylvania we are sure none
will offer more opportunities for real
enjoyment than the one Snow Shoe
is planning to have.
| It is a well known fact that they
do things well in Snow Shoe, because
they are hospitable and enthusiastic
folks out there and when they go in
‘for anything it is with the conviction
that anything worth doing is worth
doing right.
They are going to start their jam-
bouree Wednesday evening with a
festival, dancing and a big boxing
match that will present seven bouts.
On the Fourth they will have races,
dancing afternoon and evening, serve
dinner and supper and have two ball
games. One will be between Belle-
fonte and Snow Shoe. The other
between Altoona and an all star
team.
Refreshment stands and booths for
the sale of holiday gimcracks and
lots of music will give the grounds a
regular carnival appearance.

'"YHE TEXTILE MUSEUM
AT STATE COLLEGE.
Gay red Morocco slippers, rain-
coats from Igorot, a gorgeous array
of hand loomed ‘silks, and real lace
greet the eye of the visitor at the tex-
tile: museum in the Woman’s build-
ing at the Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. Miss Ruth E. Graham, of the
Home Economics department, is in
charge.
There is a fat Chinese bowl, around
which nine golden mandarins, with
slanting eyes and folded hands, walk
tirelessly. It recently came 11,000
miles to take its place among the
interesting articles which are always
kept here.
There is Tapa Cloth made from
Honolulu wood-fibers, bright peasant
embroideries from Austria and Switz-
erland, and ropes made of pineapple
leaves. Better still—there is an in-
spiration for a new style hat, made
in Japanese fashion from wood chips;
for sandals made after the fashion
of those in Senegal;
style scarves or even bright Balkan
blouses.
Beautiful, too, are the lovely Ar-
menian laces and the bit of queer
bark lace made by Phillipine Islang-
ers by pounding and stretching wood
fiber until it is soft and fine as our
real laces. There are also satin
shoes from China, tiny things hardly
large enough to carry their inch thick
soles.
The textile museum is open for
inspection at any time, and visitors
at State College are urged to inspect
it.

KIWANIANS PICNIC IN
SEVEN MOUNTAINS.
The Kiwanis luncheon, of Tuesday,
was entirely without any special pro-
gram, due to the fact that on Mon-
iday evening of next week an inter-
club meeting is to be held at the
Centre Hills Country club, the clubs
of Philipsburg, State College and
Bellefonte planning for a gala night
at that time, and on Thursday even-
ing of this week a joint picnic was
held in the Seven mountains between
the Lewistown and Bellefonte clubs.
The noon hour passed very pleas-
antly in a social and musical way,

——The annual family gathering
of the David Haines family, in cele-
bration of Mrs. Haines’ birthday, was
a more enjoyable affair Wednesday
than ever before. Although eighty-
seven years old, Mrs. Haines was
the ideal honor guest and hostess,
keeping right with her party for the
entire day. The guests included her
son, Charles Haines, of McKeesport;
Charles Jr, Mr. and Mrs. George
Rhinhold and Miss Ethel Gotshall, of

Fortney.
i ——It is estimated that close to
four thousand people attended the N.
Y. C. picnic held at Hecla park
last Saturday. One of the principal
features was the ball game between
Clearfield and Jersey Shore, the lat-
ter winning by the score of 19 to 5.
Every man who went to bat for Jer-
sey Shore scored a run, even to the
two subs put in toward the end of
ithe game. The Essex-Challenger
{that was given away went to Alex
i Spence, of Clearfield.
——We have been using the new
“Nittany” blend coffee in our home
for a week and up to this writing no
one in our family has been able to
discover that it isn’t as good as an-
other brand that we had been using
and paying six cents more a pound
for. “Nittany” is the coffee that
home merchants are specializing in
now. Take our advice and try it.
After all, good coffee depends very
much on the way one makes it.
——Over 1800 children accompan-
ied by Wetzler’s boy's band of Miles-

ingly hot, but that proved no draw
back for the lake was there to cool
off in and ice-cream and cool drinks
were free. It was a grand day in the
lives of the little folks.

many reminders of olden times that Mrs.
Bowersox has in her home on College
Ave., is a copy of the New York Herald,
of April 15, 1865. It is the edition of
that paper that announced the assassina-
tion of President Lincoln. Aside from its
value as an historic relic it is interesting
as an exhibit of the manner in which
newspaper makers ‘‘played up” startling
events in those days.

their daughter Alice Anne, motored up
from their home in Chestertown, Md.,

home at Axe Mann. Harry started to
learn the printing trade in this office,
but something switched him off to the
jeweler‘'s bench, with the result that he
now has a fine jewelry establishment in
Chestertown; whereas, if he had stuck here
he might only have worked up to a condi-
tion of concern as to where his next meal
is to come from.
