Very P.iicoui'nging. The good people of Bcei-hwood are j rallying about their new pastor, the j Rev. K. J. Knox. The interior of the j church has been made very inviting I through the kindness of Mrs. Nyhart, j a Presbyterian lady, who worships 1 with these people, she having turn- i ished a handsome carpet for the pulpit ! and entire front of the church back to j the second pew. Other improvements i arc under consideration, and the pastor j is very much encouraged by the inter- ! est manifested on the part of the young j people. He hopes to organize a Suu- | day School in the near future One ! member was taken in at the services j on Sunday evening, and two more are ! to bo taken in two weeks later. An Object of Contempt. The street loafer is an object of con- j tempt everywhere. He has no social j standing anywhere. His influence, if ! he is so fortunate as to have any, is al ways in the wrong direction. No one j has ever found out what he is good for except that of being in everybody's way. He is considered a common nuisance for which no one has found a successful remedy. No successful busi ness man will employ any one whom they see hanging around on the street corners. The boy who can find noth ing to do but loaf around the streets would not be of very great value to his j employer. When you have nothing else to do you should spend your time in trying to learn something that will be a benefit instead of spending it in idleness. You are watched just as closely when you are not at work as you are when you are. Business men are on the lookout for boys of energy and thrift. A position is always ready for this kiud of a boy. A street loafer does not want to work and could not geta position if he wanted it. "Loafer" is the only proper term for a being of this kind. He cannot be termed a boy, for a real boy cannot be idle. He can not be called a man, for there is nit a trace of manliness about the habit; so it is nothing but ignorant, idle, useless, abominable "loafer." RIDGWAY WOMAN ASSAULTED. Attacked in Woods While She Picked Berries. RIDGWAY, Pa, August 10.— Fully two hundred men quit work this after noon at the ringing of the bell in the Court House and volunteered to search the woods and country round for a vil lain who outraged Miss Singer, a young lady aged aoout twenty years. The tragedy occured almost within sight of town. The young lady was picking berries at the time A sister who accompanied her missed her for a few minutes, and receiving no reply to her calls started in search, finding her sister bound and gagged, her body ter ribly bruised aud scarcely a stitch of clothing left on her bod}'. Large numbers of men armed with guns and revolvers are looking for the brute, who is described as being of medium build, smooth face, two gold filled teeth in front aud dressed in a plaid suit. Here to Stay. The following we clip from the Mt Jewett Hearld and it will be seen that the tanning business, is like every other, changed to meet the new condi tions, and a tannery may be figured as stable and long lived: Instead of great piles of bark sur rounding a tannery at present, as was formerly the case, and a side track holding many cars of bark fresh from the tree, as in days of yore there is to be seen a much smaller store of bark, and in place of the long line of cars there will be observed one or two of an entirely different pattern. The car that to-day supplies the tannery with the required material for tanning hides closely resembles those in which oil is transported, having a tank containing thousands of gallons of extract taken from both bark and wood of different trees. On the siding of the Mt. Jewett Tanning company, there at present stands one of these cars, No '144, and stamped as the property of the Kistler, Lesh & Co., who are, in reality, the Mt. Jewett Tanning Co. This car re cently arrived in Mt. Jewett contain ing 57,950 pounds of the extract of chestnut oak bark. While the extract comes in a liquid form it is reckoned by pounds. This is one of the pecu liarities of the business with which we have nothing to do at present As 200 pounds of this extract is the equiva lent of 2, 000 pounds, or one cord, as bark is now reckoned—the long ton of 2,240 pounds having been discarded within the last few years—this single car represents 2H9 cords of bark or be tween 24 and 25 ear loads. Or to put it in dollars and cents at a rate of $9.00 per cord, the present price of bark delivered, $2,(501. "Sufficient of the extract is used daily to offset 11 cords ot bark, or about one half the amount required by the plant. In addition to this it IUIH left the lirm independent of the local bark supply, and assures the life of the plant for such period as the extract may be obtained, anil as it is now made from a number of different trees and plants which grow throughout the world, in addition to hemlock, oak and other barks, the business can be said to be a continuous one.

At a public meeting in the court house at Bellefonte last Thursday, Judge John (J. Love, representing the citizens of Centre county, publicly presented to State Fish Commissioner W. E. Mcehan, representing the Com monwealth, the deeds for the land do nated as a site for a State fish hatchery. The speech of presentation by Judge Love, was responded to by Commis sioner Meehan, who announced that the new hatchery would be called the Bellefonte Hatchery. After the public meeting the commission and the local reception committee were driven to the site of the new hatchery, which is located about four miles from Belle fonte, near Pleasant Gap station, and along the line of the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railway. There are fifteen acres in the plot and the hatchery, which will be built at once, will be the largest in the State. May Have Two Murder Cases. It looks as though Potter county would have two murder cases on her hands, Byron McNess who was shot by Ebert Pierce, near Savoy, on Thurs dey, died Friday. About 1.30 o'clock Saturday morning John Berdamier was stabbed twice in the breast, and it is feared he will die The man who did the stabbing escaped. Berdamier was talking with James Wade, in East Coudersport. They were standing alongside a building, about ten feet from the sidewalk when a man—said to be a stranger to both— rushed up and without a word, stabbed Berdamier twice in the breast before he could defend himself. The man then ran away. One of the thrusts pierced Berda mier's lung, and the doctors say that it will be remarkable if he recovers. Ber damier is about twenty-three years of age. Attempted flurder. Esther Murphy, a pretty waiter at the Allegheny house, at Clearfield, last Monday morning, wiis shot and dangerously wounded by a young man named Wainwright, of Benezette, Elk county, iu the lobby of the hotel. Wainwright carried an insulting note to the girl, it is alleged, and she struck him He was ordered from the house, but returned and awaited an opportun ity to see the girl. After shooting Miss Murphy Wain wright escaped through the front door, closely pursued by a crowd of men* He was captured after a spirited and exciting case and taken to jail. On his person were found two revolv ers, some poisou, three rings, five purses and §7.99. He was porter at the house. THE TREATING HABIT. It Costs its Victims Many a Dollar and Many a Pang. Is it not a fact that men really spend in treating, amounts that they would hesitate to give away no matter how deserving the charity ? It is a trait of human character that comes through this all absorbing disposition to "hold j your end up" when with a friend. I Hundreds of men take thousands of ; drinks that they do not want,and other hundreds pay for thousands that are not desired. Two men meet, and one says: "Mighty plad to see you, let's have something." Neither generally needs !or even wants a drink. But the man who offers it wants to show that he is generous. He takes this method of proving that he is glad to meet his friend. The friend after he has taken the drink he did not want to prove that he, too, is a good fellow, insists upon a second round. The German custom of entering a saloon, taking a drink and paying for it and for no others, if adopted in America, would prove a blessing. The American custom of treating is decid edly a curse. What we do for iriend ship's sake costs us many a dollar and many a pang.—Springfield Union. For Sale Cheap. A quantity of second-hand window sask, casing and blinds complete.

A Relic of The Accident. A silver watch which belonged to one of the ill-fated crew, which went through the Lycoming creek bridge with the oyster train on that stormy Sunday morn ing. Was found in the sand just below the bridge Tuesday. The fatal accident of December 15, 1901 when the oyster train on the Phila delphia and Erie Railroad ran through the Lycoming creek bridge, carrying dowu with it the engineer, fireman and a brakeman to death in the raging muddy waters of the ereek, was brought vividly back in the memory of the peo ple of Williamsport yesterday by the finding of a watch which had belonged to one of the unfortunate men, the body of one of whom has never been recovered. The watch is a heavy open faced time piece. The ring by which the watch chain was attached is gone and the water has entirely destroyed the mainspring. In the back of the case is a photograph, but long exposure has faded it out so that it is no longer of any value as a means of identification. The watch was found by some young men who were digging in the sand for lamprey eels, and is now in the possession of James A. Moyer. 487 Hepburn street. For a year and a half the watch has been buried under the sands of the creek before being found and brought to the surface for identification.

When ja ti ti HI -d by tb • Minitterial Ass . -iati »n of that growing city to enforce the closing of enrif'ectionesy and ei_'ar :< n - on Sun day he replied in the following spirited and sane manner. "Please be consistent. Why ask the dispenser of soda water or a toby to re lini|uish his trade, while the flayor of | Greater Butler keeps open house with a j tine lot of horses at the service of the public seven days a week? Why ask the man with big rent on Main street, who has a hard enough time getting along, to cut down his sales and leave the Standard Steel Car Company alone? Why is supplying means to quench the public thirst not a matter of public good when the Butler street railway lines are ready to take you to the park to cool? "There are also within the borough limits oil men working more than 12 hoursja day who hardly know what Sun day is or when it comes, and yet some oil magnates are called philanthropists. As Mayor I will enforce the laws in existance, but will not make new ones that will lead the outside world to think 1 am a fossil or beloug to a past genera tion. If actiou must be taken on the Sunday question, and that action the closing of the soda water stores, the Ministerial Association is referred to the District Attorney for aid in the cause." No Apology. "Be men. said the doctor to his class of bright eyed students, "strong, self controlled, manly men. Build your char acter up to full measure, make it such that others can rely upon it and not be disappointed. Don't be apologies for men, nor men that need apologizing for. Did you ever notice how many people there are for whom their friends are con tinually having to make excuses?" "That's his way; we always have to make allowance for that." Tie is so quick tempered that it often makes him un reasonable. but he is good hearted down under it all.' ' Vou can count on him if you take him in the right mood' and so on. I charge you. boys, to be masters of your moods, your tempers and your ways. Never let them get so strong that they shall represent you to the world, that you shall be known by them rather than by anything else that may be in you. No one lias a right to do business on the patience of his friends, or to ex pect those around him to excuse the faults and weaknesses he can remedy, j what the world wants is the man who : has honestly made the best of himself ! and who needs no apology."
