Jacob SMITH has purchased the J.D. CONNELLY property, on Locust street. Milt BROWN has had applications form all parts of the country for his biscuit baking recipe. W.S. WRIGHT, the nurseryman from Centre, was taken to the hospital Wednesday morning suffering from bee stings. Judge GORDON is still confined to his residence. His condition has improved since last week but he is yet a very sick man. C.C. PAYNE, the lumberman, has purchased a lot from Joseph SHAW, on the West Side, and will erect a handsome residence thereon. Those who know say there have been no mid-night dinners or gorgeous layouts for visitors at the County Home for several weeks. How long, Oh Lord, how long are the Court House sidewalks to be filled with the rubbish which has been allowed to remain there since January 1st? Judge MORRISON, of McKean county, will hold court for Judge GORDON next week. The serious illness of the latter will prevent him from dispensing justice for some time. As long as the County Commissioners are bent on spending money why not remove the old six by ten glass in the Court House windows and replace them with big plates. Harry THOMAS, of the Second ward, formerly of Woodland, was arrested Monday evening for passing a worthless check upon B.M. GOLDBERG. He was committed to jail in default of bail. Judge BELL, of Blair county, was here yesterday to hear the Houtzdale injunction case. The question before the Court was, "Is the bottom to fall completely out of Houtzdale or not?" Miss Sue E. OWENS will begin a six weeks term of summer school May 12, 1902. May sessions, Leonard Building. Will also give private lessons in mathematics and other branches. A little Fourth street boy was asked by his Sunday school teacher last Sunday, who was the first man? On replying "Washington" he was reminded of Adam. "Yes," he said, "if you count foreigners." State College Commencement. Commencement exercises at State College will begin this year on Sunday, June 8, and terminate Wednesday, June 11. The Commencement address will be delivered by Charles M. SCHWAB, President of the Steel Trust. Officers Elected Clearfield Assembly No. 46, A.C.U., was organized last Sunday evening and the following officers elected: President, John BEHAN; Vice President, F.X. SHILLENN, Chaplain, Rev. T.W. CAVANAUGH; Recording Secretary, H.J. COUDRIET; Financial Secretary, J.S. BEAHAN; Orator, J.A. STOCK; Chancellor, Carl FLEMMING; Trustees, Rev. T.W. CAVANAUGH, F.X. SHILLENN, L. GOUPIL; Inside Guard, J.V. MILLER; Outside Guard, John FALLON. The meetings will be held on the first and fourth Mondays of each month. Judge NILES in Town. Judge Jerome B. NILES, of Tioga county, was in Clearfield Tuesday evening. The Judge was here on business, but was not adverse to talking politics. He is a Quayite of the old school and dead against the Stone-Elkin crowd. He defeated Stone's appointee, David CAMERON, two years ago, and expects to wind up a long political career on the bench. At the same time he would not dodge the gubernatorial lightning if he happens out in the storm due about June 11. Clearfield Stock Sold Well The prices bid for the stock in Clearfield organizations sold by the Administrator of the late George WEAVER's estate were very flattering to the solidity and perpetuity of the several corporate bodies. The County National Bank stock, par value $100 per share, sold for $601.71; Clearfield Fire Brick Works, par value $100, brought $190.92; Clearfield Water, par value $20, went for $44. Colonel Conwell Here Colonel and Mrs. Russell H. CONWELL passed through Clearfield Monday morning on their way home from DuBois where the Colonel lectured to a large audience on "Acres of Diamonds." The big Colonel looks just as young and vigorous as when he first delivered that same lecture in Clearfield fifteen or more years ago, and his raven locks are just as free from silver threads. Wages Increased The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has voluntarily increased the wages of all section foremen and track laborers. The foremen will receive an increase of 10 per cent and the laborers one cent per hour. The foremen now receive $55 per month and laborers 13 cents per hour. The increase dates from April 1, 1902. The English Language We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes; Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese; Yet the plural of mouse should ever be meese; You may find a lone mouse, or a whole nest of mice. But the plural of house is houses, not hice; If the plural of man is always called men Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural may be cows or kine But the plural of row is rows, not rine. And if I speak of a foot and you show me your feet And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If the singular's this and the plural is these Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed keese? Then one may be that and three would be those Yet hat in the plural would never be hose. And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren But though we say mother we never say methren; Then masculine pronouns are he, his and him But imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim. So the English, I think, you all will agree, Is the most wonderful language you ever did see. Judge White Will Orate Judge Harry WHITE, of Indiana, will deliver the Memorial Day oration in Clearfield this year. There is not another man in Pennsylvania who will go farther, in any kind of weather and without price, to make a speech than will Harry WHITE. And he can make a good speech, too. Last Fourth of July he drove from Indiana to Glen Campbell in an old go-cart to orate and drove back, a distance of 25 miles, after nightfall. When about half way home his horse ran off, spilled the old man out and tore up things generally. The Judge escaped unhurt, although some of his Prohibition critics over that way claim his pint flask of red-eye was completely destroyed in the shake-up. He spent the entire next day regaling his friends in Indiana with the story of the runaway, etc. Our G.A.R. people are fortunate in securing Judge WHITE. He will do a good job. A Veteran Salesman "Joe" WILSON, the veteran wood and willow-ware salesman, was in town Wednesday calling on customers. "Joe" traveled this county before the advent of railroads. He was driving over the county with Captain KERR, of Pittsburg, then a liquor salesman, in 1867, when the latter broke his leg by driving over the high bank near Hartshorn's, below Curwensville. The Captain was brought to Clearfield where he lay at the Mansion House for a couple of months. Although that was 35 years ago and "Joe" does not look like the old-timer he is.
