John F. Mullen, known to many of the
Reporter readers, and who for some
years past has been a faithful employee
of the large dry goods firm of Boggs &
Buhl, Pittsburgh, in renewing his sub-
scription to the Reporter, recently, gives
a bit of interesting history in his letter.
He says: "1 did not get to Centre
county for my vacation this summer,
but spent it with my son in Monroe,
Michigan, This is a wonderful fine
town, and it is here where the great
massacre of Americans by the Indians
took place in 1812 and 1813. During the
war at that time ‘our boys’ were prom.
ised protection by the British in case
they surrendered. But the duplicity of
the British was shown when they turped
over the Americans to the Indias who
slaughtered between seven and eight
hundred, The river here ran with
blood for miles.”
With prices on dvery form of com-
modity showing a decided downward
trend, salesmen who a few months ago
could not supply the trade with all the
goods that were wanted, are finding ita
difficult matter to interest the merchant
at all at this particular time. It is such
a condition which caused Ralph E,
Dinges to sever his connection with the
Hooven Mercantile Company a few
days ago. Mr. Dinges went into their
employ id toe spring and proved himself
a capable salesman, his first attempt "on
the road” proving a decided success
from a financial standpoint to his em-
ployers. However, with the present
changed conditions and the further un.
certainty of the coming winter, Mr,
Dinges decided to discontinue his line of
work until commercial activities become
more stabilized, During the coming | men
winter he will be employed by Bradford
Co., at Centre Hall,

By WILLIAM J. BRYAN,
The greatest personal victory yet
won In this Democratic convention was
scored hy a young Filipino by the name
of Jose P, Melencio. He has charge of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He Is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the publie
schools of the Philippines—under
American teachers, as he proudly
boasted-—and at Georgetown, D.
He is a remarkably promising young
man,
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace of em-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength of his argumegt, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. + He capti-
vated everyone and committeeraen and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he eondiuded
his plea,
When one of the committes asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logle and precision as if he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer, It
was a remarkable triumph,
As one who began twenty-two years
ago to fight for the promise of Inde
pendence | was proud of this {Hustras
