BIG DEFICIT I
STATE ROAD FUND
It is very evident that some of the
State roads asked for by counties of
Pennsylvania will go begging for sev
eral years to come. Indeed it is very
donbtful whether all the roads con
tracted for will be built, beoause of
the unavailability of funds. The im
provements asked by various counties
amuunt to $24.E18.908,whi1e the avail
able appropriation is only $.">.710,000,
letving a deficit of $19,219,258 Out of
the original appropriation there was
available to Juno 1, 1907, $11,500,000
The State has paid out on contracts
for road construction tiie sum of sl.-
991,048. The balances unpaid on exist
ing contracts amount to $1,580,952.
making a grand total of $8,572,000,
which is over $72,000 more than the
amount available. This sum will have
to be paid out of the $1,500,000 which
becomes available for use on June 1 of

The Annual Cleaning Up.
The melting snow reveals many un
sightly places and has brought about
the usual conditions incidental to
spring. After a siege of winter such
as we have passed through, one feels
that any change would be agreeable
that would eliminate snow and ice.
The latter on melting, iiowever, is
apt to produce mud together with oth
er accumulations that are both un
hualthful and unsightly. If we reoall
the experience of other years we may
be led to wonder whither the second
condition is not nearly as bad as the
first.
The paving on Mill street is objec
tionable enough, all of which, of
course, is unavoidable. The bricks are
covered with sticky paste, which makes
it exceedingly disagreeable for pedes
trians in crossing the street.
Nearly every back yard contains au
ash pile,intermixed with garbago rep
resenting the winter's accumulations.
It is unquestionably the most dispirit
ing season of the year.
Nevertheless, it is a period that
humanity eacli season has to pass
through and complaint is as puerile
as it is futile. The best that we can
do is to hope that the change from
winter to spring may be sudden aud
abrupt—that warmer weather may
come soon aud coutiune without many
variations, drying up the mud ami
causing old earth to take on a more
cheering aspect.
Meanwhile, we can help ourselves a
1 i'tie, if we begiu the process of clean
ing up and renovation just as soon as
conditions justify it. The street com
missioner will no doubt see to it that
Mill street receives its customary
saraping aud sweeping as soon as the
paving dries off sufficiently. The ash
man will soon get busy aud his over
tures looking to au engagement should
be met in a friendly way. Let him be
put on the job early aud, while the
back yard is being cleaned up.give the
cellar also a renovation using quick
lime in unstinted qnautities in case
there should be dampness or impurity.
Thus, while the premises aro made
pleasing to the eye conditions oonduc
ive to good health will also be promot
ed.
At White Hall.
The White Hall school will give its
annual entertainment on Friday even

FIFTY YEARS OF
MARRIED LIFE
Mr aud Mrs. David K. Shelliart
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
their wedding at their home on Center
street Monday. Mr. aud Mrs. Shel
liart are auioug our best known and
highly esteemed residents. They are
both natives of thin immediate vicin
ity and (heit fifty years of married
life were spent in this city. Naturally
much interest attached to their golden
wedding, so that the function, viewed
in every light, was a success—one en
joyed alike by those who called to pay
their respects aud the veueiable couple
on whom the honors were bestowed.
A pleasing episode in conuection
with the golden wedding took place at
the Mahouing Presbyterian church on
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Shelliart has
been a member of the Mahoning Pres
byterian Suuday school for a period of
fifty years For forty years lie has
been either superintendent or assist
ant superintendent of the Sunday
school.
In recognition of his long term of
service it was decided by the teachers
aud officers of the Suuday school on
the fiftieth anniversary ot his married
life to present him with a suitable
gift. The present selected was in the
form of a dozeu solid silver spoons
The presentation took place immedi
ately after Suuday school. The pre
sentation speech was made by Howard
B. Sliultz, superintendent, to which
Mr. Shelliart very feelingly responded.
I Monday the fiftieth wedding an
niversary was celebrated by a family
dinner. Between the hours of 3:30 and
10 p. m. au imformal reception was
held aud a large number of persons
called at the family* homestead.
David R. Shelliart is a native of
Montour couuty. His boyhood was
spent on a farm in Cooper township
He came to Danville fifty-seven years
ago. For six years he was a clerk in
Christian Lnubach's store,after which
he weut into business as a merchant
tailor, aud for a period of over fifty
years he remained in business at
the same stand ou Mill street, retiring
about two years ago.
Mrs. Shelliart, who before marriage
was Miss Malinda DeMott, was boru
near Jersevtown. She is a couple of
years youuger than her husbaud, aud
like him enjoys good health. That
both have many friends was well at
tested by the general interest shown
in their fiftieth aunivorsary—by the
deluge of congratulations aud well
wishes for the future that were bestow
ed upon them.

The April "Smart Set."
i Beatrix Demarest Lloyd is the auth
or of the novel which opens the April
i Smart Set. Her story is entitled "The
Miniature/' and she has never written
a fiuer piece of work. The scenes are
laid in Paris, aud the absorbing nar
rative, which grips the reader's atten
tion at the outset, moves aloug to a
most unexpected and tiiilliug conclu
sion. Of the youuger writers of today,
noue is more promising than Miss
Lloyd, and The Smart Set is to be con
gratulated on publishing so notable a
novel.
John G. Neihardt contributes a
piece of fiction entitled "Beyond the
Spectrum," which,because of its pow
er aud weird setting, deserves a place
side by side with some of Edgar Allau
Poe's short stories. Harriet Gaylord,
in "Cousin Delice," tells a pathetic
tale of a youug siuger who sacrifices
her career,and learns too late how un
necessary that sacrifice was. A power
ful story is "Penalty" by a young
English writer, Michael Storm ; Katli
eriue Metcalf Roof writes a fanciful
little story called "The Edge of the
Wood," full of poetic charm; Arthur
Stanley Wheeler is at his best in a
love story, "ludiau Summer." Other
ficticji is from Mrs. Lutlwr Harris,
Mary L. Peudered, Mary Glascock, R.
i K. Weekes and Mazo de la Roche, iu
his most delightful vein. Bliss Car
man writes au essay called "The Music
of Life," which contaius many quot
able passages. The poetry is varied
aud excellent, aud comes from such
verse-makers as Ethel M. Kelley, Elsa
Barker. Edwiu L. Sabin, Arthur
Stringer, Gertrude H. McGiffert aud
Charlotte Becker.

TRAIN HIT WAGON
FARMER INJURED
The S. B. & B. railroad crossing at
Shaffer's bridge was the scene of a
serious accident Saturday morning at
11 o'clock, when a farm wagon. in
which rode Freese Kistler and Alfred
Crawford, of Cambra, was run down
by a fast moving freight train, wagon
practically demolished, ami both men
flung down the embankment, breaking
both of Kistler's legs.
The men were on theii way from
Mordausville to Bloomsburg in a cov
ered farm wagon drawn by Kistler's
team of horses. The train was on its
way to Berwick, and owiug to the
curve at that point, tho men did not
see or hear the train; neither did the
trainmen see the wagon uutil the
horses were ou the track, aud the fast
approaching train was only a few
yards distant.
Tho engine struck the wagon near
the rear wheel and flung the body of
the vehicle up onto the fence posts
along the track, the rear wheels and
axle being sent whirling down into
the ditch, aud both men were flung
down the teu-foot bank oi the Fishing
creek.
Crawford escaped with apparently
uo injuries beside a bad shaking up,
aud picked himself up uuassisted.
Kistler, however, was badly hurt Both
legs were brokeu just above the ankle,
botlt bones in ea<;h leg being fractur
ed.
William McMahou, who lives near
the bridge, came running to the scene
aud the traiu was brought to a stop as
soon as possible. Kistler was carried
up outo the road, and placed in Mc-
Mahon's wagon and driveu back to his
home iu Cambra. Physicians declared
his to be one of the worst kinds of
fractures,aud as both limbs were brok
eu,it is liable to incapacitate Mr. Kist
ler for future farm work, or for auy
oocupatiou which requires a great
deal of staudiug on the feet The in
jury is a very painful one. Besides
the fracture of the legs, internal in
juries are also feared, and seveial
bruises were fonnd about the body.
The greater part of the farm wagou
which was struck by the train was
left a mass of wreckage. The team of
horses, however, were the least con
cerned of all over the accident, and
jvere not even scared when the traiu
struck the wagon and knocked it from
behind them. They patieutly stood in
the roadway until driven over the Mc-
Mahou farm.
Injured at Exchange.
A thrilling accideut occurred at the
planing mill of W. H. Dildiue at Ex
cliauge Mouday afternoon, when
John W. Ritter, an employe at the
plant, was caught in a belt, thrown
into the manhicery, aud his right arm
torn loose at the shoulder, the upper
end of the big bone being forced
through the flesh.
Mr. Ritter was carrying boards away
from the plauer, when his coat caught
in one of tho smaller bolts, throwing
him toward the big main shaft. Iu
falling his right arm struck the big
belt that ruus the plauer, which oper
ates at a very high speed.
Ii? a twinkling the man's arm was
securely caught between the belt aud
the pulley wheel, ana as tho machin
ery coutinued to revolve, his arm was
wouud around the shaft,aud that mem
| ber toru loose from the shoulder.
W. H. Dildiue, proprietor of the
mill, by his presence of mind prevent
ed a horrible catastrophe from occur
ring. He quickly reversed the engine
■ and threw off the big bf»lt, stopping
the machinery. But quick as he was,
he was not au instant too soou to save
' Mr. Ritter's life.
When lifted from his perilous posi
i tiou, Mr. Ritter was nearly unconsc
ious. He was taken to his home in Ex
- change, aud Dr. Muffly, of Turbot
vilie was called. An examination
showod that tho big bone of the upper
arm had been entirely torn looso at
the shoulder joiut, every ligament be
ing severed. Iu addition to this the
upper end of the bone had been pulled
i over into the man's chest, where it
protruded for seven inches through a
rent in the flesh 6 inches long.
The physician last evening was con
fident chat the injury will ultimately
mend, but it will be at least two
mouths before Mr. Ritter can again
use his arm.
iSloped With Italian.
Mrs, Gabriel Weurick, of Northum
berland, wife of the D. L. & W. rouud
house foreman, has eloped with au
Italiau laborer, who was employed ou
the Pennsylvania railroad in that
town.
Ou Saturday night she weut to Suu
bury with the Italiau, as was especi
ally noticed by the motormau and con
ductor of the street car.and since then
no trace has been found of either of
them.
Mr. and Mrs. Weurick have been
married but little over a year. He has
passed the half century mark, while
she lis not yet reached twenty. His
first wife died about six years ago af
ter doing her share towards the prop
agation of species by bringiug four
teen children iuto the world. He
mourned the loss of his helpmate for
about five yearn, and then began to
look arouud for auother to fill her
place.
On a farm bordering the borough
limits of Northumberland, he found a
couutry girl, beautiful, fascinating
and unsophisticated. He won her love
aud brought her to town as his wife.
This was but little over a year ago
Since that time great changes were
wrought. Mrs. Weurick felt that she
was imposed upou when forced to be
come the stepmother of fourteen chil
dren, several of whom were older than
she was. Then, too, she met the Ital
iau. He was ouly a laborer, to be sure, ,
working with a gang of his follcw
couutrymeu keeping the Pennsylvania '
tracks in repair. But, ou the oth r !
hand he was very gallant, aud his
black eyes and gay smile wou the
heart of the young woman. Her in
fatuation for him inoreased until she

CHANGES IN
SCHOOL LAWS
Some radical changes in the school
laws of the State will be urged daring
the present session of the legislature
by tho Pennsylvania State Educational
society through its legislative commit
tee, of which J. B Richey, superin
tendent of the McKeesport public
schools, is president
At its recent meeting in Harrisburg
the department of superintendence
talked over needed laws, and the leg
islation to be urgeil is at its sugges
tion.
The most revolutionary change de
sired is the election of borough and
city school directors at large, by tho
vote of the whole people. The depart
ment is of the opinion tllat a school
board of five or seven members is bet
ter than the large ones now necessary.
Boston has such a board.
Among the legislation to be urged
are the following :
The appropriation of $8,000,000 an
nually for the support of the public
sohools of the Commonwealth,and the
additional sum of 1100,000 each, an
nually, for township,borough and city
high schools.
The passage of the bill now pending
for the appointment of a State high
school inspector as a deputy of public
instruction.
A clause permitting children over
twelve years of age to take employ
ment upon all holidays and vacations,
upon temporary certificates issued by
the school authorities
The following poiut9 in any bill en
acted for the regulation of "child lab
or" in this State :
The minimum age for the employ
ment of children in factories shoulu
not be less than fourteen years.
The evidence as to age should be
corroborated by the affidavit of the
parent or guardian.
The number of hours per day for
such labor should not exceed eight, or
forty eight per week.
The attendance officer should have
the same legal access to mills and
factories as the deputy factory in
spector has
The attendance officer, or any other
citizen, should be empowered to be
gin suit against an employer for vio
lation of the law.
No child under sixteen years of age
may be employed unless said ohild can
read, write and perform the funda
mental operations of arithmetic.
All certificates of employment should
be issuod under the direction of the
school authorities of the district in
which the child resides.

To Organize Young Ladles' Club.
A movement is on foot by one of the
olergymen of Bellefonte to organize a
young ladies club. The olub will in
clude all young ladies working in the
homes of Bellefonte, the factories,
clerks, stenographers, girls of leisure
and others. Departments will be nice
ly furnished for reading, writing and
games. It is said a danco hall will be
iuclnded among the pleasures the
ladies will be able to enjoy, where
they can ask their gentlemen friends
to come and " Waltz me a round again
Willie."
In commenting on this novel move,
the Bellefonte News says:"lt is sin
cerely hoped that the movement will
pau out all right for in Bellefonte we
have some girls who are seen con
stantly on the street from morning un
til night, and perhaps this institution
will be the means of making them
better women.
"It is the first time anything of the
kind has ever been attempted here and
it is a question as to whether or not
it will prove a success. Iu Bellefonte
we have a dozen differeut classes of
girls, and we admit that some are not
as good as they should be and are talk
ed about, run dowu aud shunned, but
these same girls have souls to save as
well as the higher class ones. Now
when all these women get together in
a social way in the club rooms aud are
on friendly terms, will they still be
kind and friendly when they meet on
the streets and in public places? If so
the club will be a success if not it
will be a failure. "

The meeting on the whole was a de
cided success, promoting a warm frat
ernal relation betweeu the brethreu of
our own town and Shamdkin. It was

BROTHERHOOD
ORGANIZED
A Presbyterian Brotherhood was
orgauized at the Grove church Friday
night, and that influential congregation
is uow on the list of churches that
have fallen in with thismoderu move
ment to-bring the great body of men,
indifferent as to the oause of religion,
into closer touch with devout and God
fearing people, to interest theui iu the
workiug and the affaiis of the church
and finally through these ageucies to
secure their conversion to God.
The supper and the meeting held a
month paved the way for organiza
tion Friday. Since then there has
been much enthusiasm amoug the rnon
of the church relatiug to the subject
of the brotherhood. It was known that
there was an abundance of good mater
ial on hand, men who were merely
waiting for the privilege of enrolling
their names.
All that was necessary Friday night
was the formal act of organization,
which was performed by Rev. O. G.
Morton, pastor of the First Presbyter
ian church of Suubury, who is the
brotherhood orgauizer of the North
umberland Presbytery.
A supper, furnished by the ladies of
tho congregation, was served iu the
annex at the rear of the chapel at 7
o'clock, at which were present the
men who attended the previous meet
iug aud who expected to join the
brotherhood.
The supper, as ou the previous oc
casion, was abuudant, well prepared
and well-served. Immediately after
the meal, Rev. O. G Morton deliver
ed au addrGss, which wa9 terse aud to
the point.dealing with the subject of
the brotherhood. Following is a syno
psis of Rev. Morton's address, which
had as its theme, "The Church aud
the Brotherhood."
"Men of the church as a class are
falliug to the rear of the great hosts
of God in both service aud benevol
ence. This occurs largely because the
meu are not organized „into associa
tions as women are. To evangelize
men, to pray and labor for their salva
tion is the need of the hour, second to
no other call in the sphere of Christian
work. Men of the church have heard
the call aud the brotherhood move
ment is the result.
This movement is the most import
ant iu the work of the church. It
means that the Master is moving the
sons of God for a great purpose. It
means the lining up of the splendid
brawn of the Presbyterian division of
the grand army of God. The brother
hood has beeu compared to a piece of
machinery that is to be added to the
Presbyteriau church's workiug equip
ment to do special work among men
Iu the church there are the scattered
parts of a machine that are powerless.
They need au orgauizing force to gath
er them up and make a complete
throbbing machine Hero is a justifi
cation of the brotherhood. Bring the
meu into active coutact with the pow
er of the church and connect them
with the power.
If a man comes into too close cou
tact with commercialism he becomes
sordid in money-getting. He needs
coutact with au organized effort in
the church to give him a balance be
tweeu religion aud commercialism.
There is a keen demand today that
men may succeed in their daily avoca
tions aud be honest at trie same time.
The brotherhooi is not togo into
politics, but its members will put
Christianity iu all its affairs.
The United States census shows th it
the majority of adirtt males are not iu
direct fKJinection with any Christian
church. About twelve percent of adult
males are connected with the Roman
Catholic church ;twenty-four per cent
with the several Protestaut churches,
and sixty-two per cent make no per
sonal profession of Christian faith. 1
The total Roman Catholio and Pro
testaut male church membership is
about 6,500.000. the total adult males
being about 17,140,000. There are,
therefore, in this country, about ten
millions of men of full age who are
uot in commuuicant membership of
any church, and more than half of
them never enter church.
A portion of this great multitude of
men who do uot attend churoli are in
our own towns. It is our duty togo
after them and bring them "into vital
touch with the gospel.
Statistics show that there are two
females to every male in the Ameri
can Protestaut churches. It is import
ant to note that while the preaching
aud official force is composed almost
exclusively of men the unofficial ac
tivities, missionary,-, sabbath school
and pastoral, are largely carried ou by
womeu. To leave meu to oue side, as
lias been done in the past, is to lose
au executive force, whose value is be
yond any other'alike in quality aud
quantity.
The world's aggressive work has
been aud is being done mainly by men
and will so continue to be done as
long as man is man
Every sincere Christian in view of
the situatiou, should hail with plea
sure the organization of the brother
hood. The formation of brotherhoods
elsewhere has resulted in enlarged at
tendance upou the Sabbath and week
day services and a quickened spiritu
ality. For the accomplishment of
blessed spiritual results God invites
the meu iu this land to co-operate
with Him. Men are the divine instru
ments for the salvation of men. Of
that Christ is the abiding evidence
aud how great the need of this re
operation with our Lord! What the
church needs today is the blood-earn
estness of men engaged in the labor of
saving their brothers."
An appropriate address was also de
livered by Rev. Dr. Hemingway, of
Bloomsburg.

Nature's "Air Castles."
In the northern Italian Tyrol are a
cluster of awe-irpsiring mountain
peaks that violate all ideas of what
mountains should be. They are known
as the Dolomites. Tossed high, as if
arrested in mid-air, they are nature's
owu "Castles In the air." More tliau
any castle walls ever built by man,
they seem to defy all possibility of
ascent. So little knowu, aud so defiant
are these mountains obelisks tiiat they
have never been conquered by man un
til a few months ago. Just how they
were finally surmounted is shown ful
ly in Lyman H. Howe's Lifeorama to

POLICEMEN'S PAY.
| In regard to ttie salaries paid its po

I ord says: "A Wilkes-Barre policeman
| is compelled to work two years for SBO
J a month. He is compelled to buy an
! outfit costing about a hundred dollars.
At any time he may be called upon to
| take his life in his hands. Only last
j Saturday a South Main street patrol
! man risked his life in chasing armed
Italians who were mixed up in the in
' discriminate shooting in which three
i men were wounded. A salarj of S6O a
I month is less than is paid the ordin
aiy laborer in these times, when the
i cost of living is so high. Is it right?
It makes no difference what other
I cities are paying. The question is, are
the Wilkes-Barre policemen being

Atlantic Whaling.
It is a curious experience for the
spectators of Lyman H. Howe's Life
orama to watch from comfortable seats
the rolling ocean and the wild rushing
and pitching of a huge, unwieldy
harpooned whale. Under the title.
"Whaling in the Atlantic," Mr. Howe
offers in his new program one of the
most remarkable moving pictures that
have ever been secured since the in
ception of animated photography. As
the picture progresses the whaling ves
sel is seen coming into view, and the
crew busily makes fast the whale.now
stiff and rigid, in tho tossing waters.
At the whaling station are seen two
whales—oue measuring 84 feet aud the
other 78—with their enormous humps
crowded with sea gulls. "Atlantic
Whaling" fs of course, but one of the
mauy other features equally interest
ing in Mr. Howe's new program. It
is notable not only as a life-like re
productiou of a remote aud perilous
calliug, but as a curious example of
Mr. Howe's tireless search after novel
