‘gx SAYS FAREWELL!
Another Commencement at the Penn-
sylvania State College.
CrowDs or ProrLE FNJsoy THE EXx-
ERCISES.
The happiest season of the whole col-
lege year for the underclassmen,and the
one when young graduates must say fare-
well to their alma mater, came and went
at State College with a rapidity that
left the impressions formed by a week’s
visit to the great institution, a chaotic
jumble in the mind of your reporter.
The imposing buildings, the beautifully
appointed grounds and the impressive
ceremonies incidental to the launching,
upon life's broad stream, of so many
destinies, were all so interesting that we
are in a quandary as to where to begin
the proceedings.
On Saturday night visitors began to
arrive and take up their quarters at the
different hotels and boarding houses, and
Sunday morning found the usually quiet
little village aglow with a new life.
Bright and early the horn of the milk-
man and butcher could be heard echo-
ing over the hills, and the curling smoke
from innumerable chimneys told the
story of a new day. By eight o’clock
many of the throng were astir, and soon
the walks about the place were lined
with young men and women, with here
and there a father and mother, who,
perhaps, had come to see the son in
whom all their hopes are centered, bring
to an end his college career. And with
what pride they looked at the passers by,
if perchance he had carried off one of
the honors
Gay maidens, in wonderfully striking
gowns, seemed really interested in every-
thing except in the gowns of their sis-
ters (?) Gallant youths only wanted an
opportunity to be of service tosome one,
and the budding Freshmen, but lately
released from Preparatory Hall, vainly
endeavored to impress the contemptuous
college men with their importance.
Nature could not have been more
lavish in Her part. The day was indeed
an ideal one, and when the “clang’’ of
the ponderous bell in the main college
building rang out for the assembly to
chapel, for the Baccalaureate address
to be delivered by the Rev. George
W. Chamberlain, of Brazil, the beau-
tifully decorated little chapel was com-
fortably filled with people, and at 10.30
sharp the services began. The talk
was necessarily to the class of ’91 and
contained many points of capital inter-
est, though at times rather prosy.
The Baccalaureate sermon over, noth-
ing remained for us to do but enjoy the
beauties of the place during the rest of
the Sabbath, and we found plenty of in-
teresting sights in which to interest our-
selves,
MONDAY.
Every train brought visitors to aug-
ment the crowd which had been gather-
ing, and as there was nothing of impor-
tance occurring during the daylwejtook
the opportunity of visiting the various
departments of the institution. Engi-
neering, mechanical, civil and electri.
cal, chemical, physical, botanical and
experimental, afforded abundant enter-
tainment for the day. In every build-
ing we were struck with the rather un-
usal order and precision of the work
which was going on. With the best
equipment-and the combination Jof theo-
ry and practice, the heads of these vari-
ous departments are doing a work of ex-
ceedingly broad scope. The intricate
_points in the different lines were explain-
ed by affable assistants,and on the whole
this visit was made one of the most de-
lightful incidents of our whole com-
mencement experience,
In the evening at 8 o'clock the chap-
el was again comfortably filled with the
members of the college Y. M. C. A. and
their friends who had assembled to hear
the Rev. James Carter, of Williams-
port, Pa., deliver the address before
the association. It was a very able dis-
sertation, and his auditors were highly
eutertained with the discourse, Elo-
quence and sound logic combined to pro-
duce a salutary effect upon the minds of
the audience.
TUESDAY.
The first event of any} importance
which tran-pired on Tuesday was the
examination of candidates for admission
to the Freshman elass;-and -from--the
number wh were there to take them:
with othe applicants the class of ’95 will
be the largest the college has ever had.
At 2:5 we expected to see} the young
athletes compete for the prizes at the
annual summer field sports, but the con-
dition of the athletic grounds and sever-
al other unforeseen difficulties precluded
the possibility of their being held, so in
this we were disappointed. There is
one treat always in store for commence-
ment goers, however, on Tuesday, and
that is the Junior Oratorical Con test,
which is held in the evening at eight
o'clock. This invariably proves to be
one of the special features of the week,
and the contestants, always having at-
tained a certain degree of proficiency in
rhetoricals before they are accorded the
honor of entering the contest, never fail
to sustain tne high standard which
has been set for these performances.
All oi the ldresses were deserving of
much pois. ut we particularly desire
to commend that delivered by Mr: Loyd.
His treatment of so broad a theme and
the originality of the ideas presented
with which: he spoke, merit the highest
ecomiume. Mr. McDowell was voted
the first prize and Mr. Loyd received
honorable mention for his work. Be-
low we give the programme for the even-
ing: ; E
Music, Overture, “La Tosca.”

Kee, State College.

Announcement of Judges’ Decision.
KING PREPDOM DIES!
Immediately after the contest, one of
the most zmusing features we have ever
witnessed occurred. It was the crema-
tion of Prepdom by the out-going class,
or the new members of ’95. Among
students it has been an honored custom
to express their delight at having finished
certain abhored studies, or being freed
from the preparatory halls, by playing
a burlesque of some sort. In this case
it took the form of a cremation, and as
the college band sounded the assembly,
numbers of white robed Freshmen ap-
peared, and with them the bearers who
sadly (?) carried the coffin in which was
King Prepdom. Weird music and the
most discordant moans resounded along
the line of march, and when the Ath-
letic field was reached the procession
halted. There the crematory had been
erected and the box was placed upon it.
Orations for the dead were delivered, and
ag the mourners passed the bier they took
a parting look at the remains of their
beloved (?) departed. Soon the torch
was applied and fantastic forms danced
about the flames chanting wild dirges,
and mid the glare of red lights and
rockets the last of the king was seen.
The exercises were conducted in the
most successful manner, and though *95
experienced some difficulties in eluding
the watchful eye of the Preps, they
nevertheless had their cremation and
bad with it the assurance that it afforded
more genuine pleasure to the great crowd
of spectators than anything which has
occurred at the college for some time.
WEDNESDAY.
The gust of Tuesday night drew itself
out into one ot the most dreary rains, and
morning brought fog and a cheerless
shadow over everything. Visitors were
compelled to remain in doors, and much
of their anticipated pleasure was cur-
tailed, for Wednesday has always been
the “big” day during commencement.
Big, because so many things of interest
are usually scheduled to take place.
At 8:30 the Alumni Associationi met
and transacted business of importance.
Among other things it voted to deprive
the members of all graduating classes,
hereafter, the privilege of a vote in the
meetings until one year after graduation.
The loud “boom” of the cannon
brought every one to the front of the
main building, where a squad of well-
drilled artillerymen, under Lieut. S. A.
Wolf, U.S. A., was firing the guberna-
torial salute of seventeen guns. After
the salute the trustees met in the chapel
to hear reports of the condition of the
institution, and we understand that they
were all of the mast flattering nature.
At 12 M. the Alumni dinner was
served in the large armory, by Achen-
bach, Beilefonte’s excellent caterer. Two
hundred and forty guests sat down to the
first table, and ere they arose they were
treated to a sumptuous menu as well as
to entertaicing toasts, which were re-
sponded to by Hon. William Stone, ex-
Secretary of the Commonwealth, Dr.
Waller, Superintendent of Public In-
struction, the President of Pennsylva-
nia College, Attorney Robb, of Pitts-
burg,and F. N. Weidner,of the graduat-
ing class. All of the speeches were
pithy and entertaining, and we were
particularly taken with the warm-hearted
talk of Secretary Stone.
Dinner over the delegates and alumni
met in the chapel to elect trustees to fill
vacancies caused by the expiration of the
terme.of five of the present board. The
choice was as follows : By the delegates,
Gen. Jumes A. Beaver, Capt. C. W.
Roberts, of West Chester, Major Fox,
of Reading, and by the Alumni, Gabriel
Heister, of Harrisburg. Other routine
business was transacted, and the meet-
ing adjourned.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
weather a crowd assembled to hear Gen.
D. H. Hastings, of Bellefonte, deliver
the address before the alumni, in the
evening at 8 o’clock. His talk impressed
the audience with his characteristic
brightness and elocutionary power, and
everyone was delighted. This address
has in past years been much of a bore,
but “Our Dan’s”’ was an exception and
a brilliant one, too.
A pleasant feature of the evening was
the presentation to the honored Presi-
dent, Dr. Atherton, of a«solid silver tea
service. It was atoken of esteem from
the citizens of the village, bearing with
it the hearty congratulations and ecom-
coupled with the grace and effectiveness |
iums of the people for the zealous work!
he has done for the institution.
The next thing in order was the re-
ception by the members of the faculty
to the visitors. It was given in the
armory, and many were there to renew
pleasant acquain ances of years gone by
and pay their depoirs to the guardians of
80 many young men and women.

thing began to take on an air of the |

of the Philadelphia Times. A most
able effort, indeed, containing thoughts
which should prove of invaluable ser-
vice in the lives of the graduates,
couched in the best of English and de-
livered with an eloquence and earnest-
ness which was entertaining in the
highest sense.

Miss Moore; B. S., in the Advanced
Course in Chemistry, Messrs. Fields and
Weidner; B. S., in the Course in Civil

second honors, Charles Maxwell Green,
Diiworth Miller Taylor.
A few short remarks by the president,
and ths last “farewell,”” and the class of
’91 had done. Gone from student life,
probably, forever.
But one thing remained to hold the
people, and that was the Farewell Re-
ception given by ’92 to 91. It was
simply a repetition of many delightful
dances which thecollege boys have given,
except that an unusually brilliancy was
given to the affair by the assemblage of
$0 many new faces.
The committee, Messrs. C. E. Aull,
S. G. Crawford, S. H. Brown, C. C.
Hildebrand and Ray Kessler, are deserv-
ing the congratulations of every student
of Pennsylvania State College for the
completeness of their work, and the re-
ward they received in the great success
of the reception was well merited,indeed.
One word more and we will close. To
'01 we wish unlimited success in your
footsteps. To the succeeding classes of
the Pennsylvania State College—may
your courses be as nobly ended as have
been those of the onesso lately grad-
uated.

SuppeN DeArTH.—-A very sad case of
sudden death occurred in Coleville, a
suburb of this place, Thursday night of
last week, the victim being Mrs. Michael
Heyden. She had been living alone
with her two-year-old baby, Ler hus-
band being employed by Mr. Thomas
Collins on the contract he has in build-
ing a railroad in New York State. Mrs.
Heyden not making her appearance at
the usual time in the morning the at-
tention of the neighbors was attracted
by the circumstance, and also by the
crying of the child. About 9 o’clock
they entered the house and found Mrs.
Heyden dead in bed with the baby sob-
bing by her side. The physician who
examined the body decided that death
had been produced by some form of
heart trouble. The unfortunate woman
had been preparing to go to her husband
and had been working hard in getting
ber household goods ready for the
moving, and it is probable that she over-
exerted herself. Her husband was tele-
graphed for and arrived on Saturday to
attend to the sad duty of interring his
wife, whom he had left in good health
and who he had expected would soon
who is well known in this county.
Repairing executed with neatness

TIVE.—About half after four last Satur-
day afternoon a blaze was discovered on
the roof of the large frame building ad-
joimng Maitland’s boiler shop,this place.
It rapidly enveloped a large part of the
roof and had a very dangerous look
when parties who were attracted by it
raised a ladder to the root and kept the
fire in check with buckets of water un-
til the firemen made their appearance
and speedily put it out. The steam fire
engin made its appearance on the
scene, but the work had been done be-
fore there was occasion to put the steam-
er in operation. The house is occupied
by Mr. Scott, bartender of the Brocker-
hoft House.
Farman CoaL Oi EXPLOSION NEAR
Purripssure.——The Journal of Tues-
day gives the following particulars of a
distressing fatality near that place :
Mrs. Mills, the young wife of Wil-
liam Mills, living at Nuttall’s block,
near Ashcroft, met her death last night
in the most distressing manner. About
five o'clock she began to make prepara-
tions for supper. She, supposing the
fire in the stove had entirely died out,
picked up the coal oil can, containing
nearly a gallon of oil, and attempted to
pour a little on some of the wood in the
stove, which had not burned. Unfort-
unately, there wasstill a little fire in the
stove, and as a result, the flame shot up
and ignited the oil in the can, causing a
a terrible explosion. In an instant she
was enveloped 1n fiames, and notwith-
standing the efforts of her husband and
others who happened to be about the
premises at the time, thev could not be
extinguished and every bit of clothing
on her body was consumed. She was
burned almost to a crisp, and suffered
the bitterest agony up uatil eleven
o'clock, when death came to her relief.
She retained her consciousness up until
the last and just before she died bade
her friends a moss affectionnate farewell.
Her fourmonths-old child, who was sit-
ting in a high chair in an adjoining
room, was also badly burned, the’ little
one’s apparel having caught fire from
the mothers’s burning clothing, as the
latter in her excitement rushed into the
room with the view of saving the life of
herchild. Ttis very much feared that
join him at his new place of residence.
the little one cannot survive.

during which Rev. Wm. Calder, who is
an alumnus of the college and who has
been for several years a missionary to
India, delivered a very entertaining ad-
