Hummel Confesses.
William Hummel, the Williamsport
murderer, who wits recently convicted
and sentenced to be hanged made a
complete confession on Monday. Ho
gives full details of his horrible crime. <
: The crime took place in the morning
, at about 3 o'clock, after quarreling all
night, after which the remains of his
| victims were hidden in a straw stack
j He told his story with an indifference
! that was simply horrible. While de
i scribing the ghastly details, his manner
j was cool and collected and demonstrat
ed that he is utterly void of any fine ;
| qualities of mind. Jealousy was the j
I ciuse of his rash act.
Enoch Winner, a phrenologist, who |
examined the bead ol William Hummel
last Saturday, says that in all his forty- i
five years experience, he never came ;
across but one cranium to compare j
! with Hummel's. He says Hummel re
\ sambles types of male animals which j
kill their young, and is about the worst j
ha ever examined. His sideshow
scheme of charging ten cents a peep is \
declared off by Sheriff Gamble.

He's Still Digging "Taters."
A neighboring newspaper man was
almost overwhelmed the other day by
the following epistle which one of his
subscribers wrote when he discontinued
his paper. It ran as follows: "I think
folks ortent to spend there money
for papur, my dad dien't and every
one said he was the intelligentist man
in the country and had the smartest
family of boize that ever dug taters."
flethodist Conference Ended.
The Methodist Episcopal Conference
which has been in session at Hazleton
for tho past week, closed its business
on Tuesday, after one of the most suc
cessful sessions ever held in tho State.
The following pastoral appointments
affecting this section were made: Wil
ford P. Shriner, Bellefonte; Edward E.
A. Deavor, Patton; Richard Gilbert,

Win. Howard's Birthday Party.
Last Thursday being the sixth birth
day of William Howard, Jr., he issued
invitations to his schoolmates of the
Kindergarten, about sixty in number,
to help him celebrate that important
event. The happy children assembled
at the opera house in the afternoon
and had a merry time till evening
when a sumptuous repast was served
and they returned home with hearts
full of childish gratitude and good
wishes for their little host.
One Taken to the Penitentiary.
Only one man was sentenced to the
i penitentiary at the last term of court,
j The unfortunate man was J.D. Bucher,
! a stone mason of this borough, who
j stole a camera from the photograph
| gallery of C. C. Kimball on the south
i side. The man had the sympathy of
i nearly everyone. His sentence was
j the lightest possible to give for an act
, of such as he committed, which was
| one year in the penitentiary, $5 fine
| and cost of suit. Deputy Sheriff Stev-
I ens and Mart Nelson, of Ulysses, took
1 Bucher to the Allegany penitentiary
; Monday.—Potter Enterprise.
Sinnemahoning Liars Club.
The Sinnamahoning Liars Club held
an interesting session on Monday
evening, with Joe Summerson in the
chair.
The application of Sheridan Mead,
for membership was considered.
After a lengthy debate it was decided
that Mr. Mead would have to wait six
months longer, as his reputation as a
veracity juggler was somewhat ques
tioned. One member reported that ho
saw a dog that was trained in the use
of cards, and could pick out any card
you would think of. One man drew
the five of diamonds and replaced it,
while some one went after the dog;
one of the party took all the five spots
out of the pack, when his dogship ap
peared he examined the cards, and
picked out tho two and three spots of
diamonds, that was as close as he could
\ get to the five of diamonds. Chas. :
| Council said he was not a fit subject
: for a member of the club and resigned.
Dalrymple must have more than two
fighting cocks to frighten the S. L. C.

) members of S. L. C. our boys could not
I face such distinguished talent as Mr.
Hirsch, so they came liomedisappoint

■at that place in the near future. No

FRANK W. AYERS.
flore for Schools Than Ships.
The United States spends more for
public education of its children than
any other nation in the world. This
gratifying fact is brought out in statis
tics recently compiled by Prof.Nicholas
Butler, of Columbus university. The
annual public expenditure for common
schools alone amounts to §200,000,000
or $2.67 per capita of population.
Great Britain and Ireland spend but
§2.20 per capita for public education, a
total of SSS,OOO,OOO, France §58,000,000
or §1.60 per capita and Germany SIOB,-
000,000, or over §2 per capita. It is a
significant fact for consideration by
those who profess to believe this na
tion is drifting in the direction of mili
tarism that the annual expenditure of
the United States for common schools
is greater than tho sum total of the ex
penditures of Great Britian, France
and Germany upon their powerful
navies. It is nearly four-fifths of the
total annual expenditure of the armed
camps of France and Germany upon
their huge armies, says Prof. Butler.
Since 1870 the expenditure for common
schools has nearly trebled.
The most progressive nations, nafcur
j ally, are those that spend the greatest
I amounts for free education and the
| most backward are those that pay lit-
I tie or no attention to this matter.
; Spain's lack of a common school sys
tem has placed her a century behind
i her near neighbors. Our own public
i school system is of such comparatively
recent growth as to illustrate how
much may be accomplished in a short
time by a government that has tho
best interests of the people at heart.
The results of the extension of the sys
tem in Cuba indicate the benefits that
will accrue to the Philippines as soon
as it is practicable to establish public
schools throughout the islands.—Pitts
burg News.
