respondence and general understand
ing as to the plan of procedure has

ten club league will be the most
practical and can be conducted with
the least expense. AS result Potts
vile, Lock Haven, Milton, Sunbury,
Bloousburg and Shamokin will be the
towns that will be included in the
league along the valley of the Susque-
hanna, and preference will be given
the clubs of the old Cumberland
Valley League to join and complete
the organization. If such a plan is
consumated a cold shoulder will be
turned upon Bellefonte, Johnstown,

What Does 1t Mean 2

The residents of Hollidaysburg,
Blair County, are greatly excited over
the appearance in the sky one day
last week of cross in blue black
ground ot clouds. The occurrence is
similar to one in olden times when,
Constantine, emperor of Rome in the
years of its decline, saw an exceeding
ly luminous cross In the heavens bear
ing the following significant inscript-
ton, -'.With this sign you will con-
quer." Constantine was very much
alarmed and declared that 1t was a
signal for him to adopt Christianity,
which he did being the first christian
ruler of the Roman world about $40
A. ID. Some of the Hollidaysburg
people predict that it is sure sign of
an approaching bloody war with
Spain, while Others regard it as a
mere vapor rising from the earth and
settling in the heavens.

The Railroad scene in "The Heart

The Railroad scene in "The Heart
of Chicago" is one of the most COM
plete efforts at realism ever put on
the stage, the engine is seen advancing
upon the audience for ten minutes. It
grows from almost an imperceptible
speck on the horizon to an almost full
sized engine when it reaches the foo.-
lights. A portion of the effect is gain
ed by cleyerly constructed illusion.
It is impossible to tell where the
illusion ends and the engine as finally
shown to the audience begins.

One of the greatest drawbacks to
the free delivery system in town is
that so many houses have not been
numbered. Property owners who
have neglected to number their build
ings should see that 1t is done at
once, as the carriers have only a
limited time to make their deliveries,
and it will be impossible for them to
do it in the time allowed unless this
ordinance is strictly complied with.

Basket Ball.

1t was hard fierce struggle that
took place between the, Normal and
Darville basket ball teams in tls
gymnasium on Monday evening. 1t
was an exceptionally rough contest
and it looked as if both teams were
bent on trying to put each other out.
According to the rules governing the
game, whenever there is tie play
is to be continued till one side scores
another point. The visitors however,
did not stick to the rules, for after
about thirty minutes of play in the
second half with the score tie, &c to
26, they left the floor and refused to
continue, whereupon the game was
awarded to the Normal. OF course

pEENC EMS IN POLITICS

Every Democratic negro calamity

day quoting from open letters written
by Rev. o, J.. Springfield and by Rev
Jesse III. Page in which these
preachers advise the members of their
churches and the voters generally to
vote the Democratic ticket. To say
the least, these men are just as liable
to be mistaken about politics as any,
body else. Now, if we remember cor
rectly, these same two preachers, Rev.
Mr.. String field and Rev. MIR. Page, adj
v'sed the people o. the Safe to vote
for Grover Cleveland in 1892. Every
Populist and every sincere silver Dem
ocrat knows now that they were wrong
then. The very same men who were
acting as Clevelau DIS lieutenants in
North Carolina III 1852, from Summons
down, are exactly the same men who
are running the Dem, cratic party to-
day. Every man who took their ad-
vice six years ago and has had cause
To regret il since should be careful how
they take their adyicl this year, for il
II was wrong to support Grover Cleve-
land in 1872, It is equally rs wrong
now to put the control of the Demo.

worse to turn over the Safe govern

. STORY OF A SLAVE,

To be bound hand and foot for
years by chains of disease is the
worst form Of slavery. George D.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich =,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle-working med
icine is a godsend to weak, sickly,
run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold
