THINGS ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY
——Mr. Robi. Cassiday, of Canton,
Ohio, has been spending a few days in
Bellefonte.
—— Philipsburg has already raised
nearly $600, for her 4th of July demon-

sent enjoying the pleasure of a visit
from Mrs. Col. Rogers and family of
Philadelphia.
—— Daniel Garman, Esq., of the Gar-
man House has been enjoying a visit to

turbance and a buggy standing in front
of Powers, store was badly wrecked.
——We regret to learn of the death
of Mr, John Beezer which occurred at
his home up Spring Creek, yesterday,
Thursday, morning. Mr. Beezer had
been ill but a short time and his unex-
pected death, will be a great shock to
his family and many friends.
——The attendance at the Treasurer’s
land sales on Tuesday last was limited
to a few interested speculators. The op-
portunites for making money by pur-
chasing titles, for unknown lands, have
about ceased, and the chap who invests
in these is generally the one who gets
left.. °
~—— Fourteen persons under the direc-
tion of one of the best engineers, are now
engaged in surveying a route from
Houtzdale to Altoons, and the report is
current that the Beech Creek road is to
be built from Philipsburg via Houtz-
dale to Altoona.e Everybody hopes this
is correct.—Raftsman’s Journal.
——The carelessness of drivers caused
two runaways in this place on Tuesday
morning iast, neither of which, luckily,
caused any considerable damage. They
were both the resultof allowing teams to
stand unhifched and what damage was
done should be made good by the driv-
ers whose negligence or carelessness
caused them.

parted for their home on Thursday,
highly delighted with the visit.
——Dr. Charles Bush, of Orbisenia,
Huntingdon county, well known to
many of our readers up Buffalo Run
valley, was a welcome visitor to Belle-
fonte during the early part of the week.
He is off for a short vacation, and tells
us that he always enjoys a visit to his
old home, more than to any other part
of the country. His many friends here-
abouts are glad to know that he is meet-
ing with the most gratifying success.
——This is the way in which one of
our exchanges talks of Miss Stella Nol-
an, the bright young daughter of Mrs,
Maury Nolan proprietor of the Moun-
tain house, at Snow Shoe. “Miss Stel-
la Nolan, of Snow Shoe, who graduated
this week at Lutherville, (Md.) semina-
ry, took second honors, and would have
taken first honors had not sickness inter-
fered with her preparations, Her essay
was pronounced one of the finest pieces
of composition ever read at the seminary.
Miss Nolan iz not only brilliant in mind
but she is a very pretty young lady and
very popular on account of her pleasant
disposition.”
——. Mr. D. J. Gates, one of Half
Moon's staunchest Democrats was in
town on Monday and did not forget to
call and pay his respects to the Warca-
MAN office. Mr. Gates has kept himself
busy the present season erecting barns.
His latest job in this line being one for
Capt. John A. Hunter, on his farm
above Port Matilda. The “raising”
was last Friday and was conducted in
the good old fashioned way of asking
everybody in the neighborhood and
making a gala day of the matter. Over
one hundred people were present, all of
whom enjoyed a most bountiful dinner
and supper, and the frame work of the
barn went up from the foundation as if
by magic.
Commencement at the State College.
Interesting Exercises—A Big Crowd and the
Largest Class Ever Graduated at that Insti-
tution.
It scarcely seems possible that the
hand of time has scored another year
never to be lived again, since last we
endeavored to give our readers a resume
of the joyous half-week at State College
which annually graduates a class which
has struggled with the vicissitudes of a
student life for four years, yet such is
the case. What is the retrospects?
‘We have neither time nor inclination to
recount the past scenes of pleasure or
sorrow that may have characterized the
life of so many young men at this insti-
tution and our purpose now is to report
solely of those four days of consumation.
The four days in which the Senior must
say his last “farewells” to associations
which bind him to his alma mater.
The four days into which, the Junior,
Sophomore, Freshman and verdant
Prep. alike rush with all the abandon-
ment of youth. They are summed up
and in the composite form we term
them commencement. A mis-nomer
surely.
This year has been one of surprises to
the alumnus of the Pennsylvania State
College and when the graduate of the
’60s and '70s returns to look over the
scenes which have haunted his memory
eversincehe laid down the hoe and
quit the potato patch for the more real
walks of life, he finds the place only by
inquiry. Surely the bustling, busy in-
stitution, with its beautiful campus dot-
ted with scientific laboratories, cottages,
etc., looming up before him cannot be
the place he left such a short time ago.
One glance at the old main building re-
lieves all doubt, however, and he is at
home, but the scenes, so effectually
traced on his mind while following the
plow and striving to eke out an agri-
cultural education, with which he deem-
ed himself fit to be president of this
great country, are all changed. The
“Farmer's High School” has evolved
into a typical 19th century college, an
institution whose Alladin like growth
makes his very soul burst forth in an
ejaculation of wonderment. Time has
wrought many changes, but as long as
the cycle continues, this seven story pile
of stones will stand a given sentinel to
mark its progress and preserve one land
mark on the campus which can ever be
held dear by those who knew the place
when it had naught else to cherish.
The effect of having shortened the col-
lege year, with the sequence of an ear.
lier and more pleasant time for com-
mencement is being seen in the throng
of visitors that has already arrived.
Though it is only Sunday evening all
available room about the place has been
let and the culinary departments have
been taxed to their utmost.
Sunday morning dawned bright and
clear. Jupiter Pluvius seemed to have
forgotten the rain with which he has
been daily visiting this section for a
month previous to this day,but suffice to
say that if the fondest dreams of the
“bud” who wanted to display the
work of some modiste had been realized
it could not be prettier. The campus
stretches out before us and the velvety
sward and labyrinth walks invite us
to stir the lazy bones and sauater to-
ward the chapel.
THE BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
It is 10-30. The bell has rung and
we find ourselves stuffed in, with the
rest of humanity, eager to hear the Rev.
Dr. McCoanell, of St. Stephen’s, in
Philadelphia, deliver the “crowning”
sermon. The most expressive term we
can conjure for it, is a treat and even
that is mild. After the Senior class at-
tired in cap and gown, had taken its
place the eminent divine began the dis-
course the like of which has never been
heard before at this place. Dr. McCon-
nell took as his text, part of the nine-
teenth verse ofthe Twentieth Chapter
of St. Luke, “And the Chief Priests and
the Scribes the same hour sought to lay
hands on him, but they feared the peo-
ple,”
He stated that priest corresponded to
those who had massed great wealth
while the scribes were those of great
learning. The theme of his discourse
was the perils which education creates
10 one’s religion, perils which are real.
Thence he proceeded to show how these
perils come to exist, how each item ot
knowledge gained, recrystalizes all
knowledge previously acquired, and
finally gave reasons for believing that
the religion of the world remains un-
barmed: He advised those who met
the doubts and dangers which learning
bring, not to resort to the reading of so
called champions of religion and recon-
cilers of science and religion, but to find
refuge in Christianity itself. Through-
out his remarks he dwelt upon the rapid
and great progress in the diffusion of
knowledge, as the characteristic of this
century. ‘‘In this, the nineteenth con-
tury,’ said he, ‘there are but two class-
es, all men are believers either in
Christianity or Atheism.”
The sermon over, the rest ot tha day
was spent in a quiet and fitting manner,
many associations and friendships being
renewed, .
MONDAY,
Most of the morning was spent in vis-
iting the various Departments and no-
ting changes that had been made since
last we brought our pad and pencil up
here for work, but the afternoon proved
the most enjoyable we have spent
for many a day. It was the occasion of
the Inter-Class Athletic sport and Beav-
er field was resplendent with silken class
banners and College colors. All the
outing suits that could be found were
hauled out for the sports and a prettier
sight one seldom witnesses. Classmen
were there with their girls, all eager to
applaud the success of favorites and
cheer their athletes on to victory.
The contest was for points whichwere
to score for the silver cup offered by the
class '92. Class feeling ran high. In
fact it grew so hot that several contes.
ants disqualified themselves for the sole
purpose of helping a class mate on to
an un-won victory.

feree—Dr, H. T. Fernald; Starter—E.

most exciting event of the day was won
by Aull, "92, in 57} sec.; H. C. Peffor
'95 second. In this event there wero
fifteen entries and as the fleet runners
sped around the cinder path, while their
admirers went wild with enthusiasm,
we certainly felt that the physical train-
ing a college man receives is no small
part of his education.
The contest was a success in every
sense of the word. The events were all
exciting and everything passed off with-
out a twitch, outside several disqualifi-
cations and protests. 92 retained the
cup with 56 point against '95’s 48,
THE JUNIOR ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The seating capacity of the pretty
little chapel was taxed to its utmost
with relatives and admirers of the Jun-
iors who were to compete for the prize
offered for the best delivery of the best
oration. And noone seemed to notice
the intense heat so great was the inter-
est in the contest. For years the aven-
ing on which the Juniors entertain the
visitors to commencement has been the
most delightful, to those who have been
fortunate enough to secure seats. The
work of the performers this year was no
less brilliant than that of preceeding
contestants and, when the judges retired
to decide which one had excelled there !
were few minds in the audience which |
: of a most brilliant discourse before the
"Alumni
' event bas been a regular “sell” to those
had arrived at a decision as to which
one really had acquitted himself most
creditably.
Stopper & Kiske's orchestra opened
the evening with a choice overture af-
ter which President Atherton announc-
ed the first orator on the program.
Hayes Waite Mattern, of Warrior's
Mark, responded with the theme ‘The
Beauties of Country Life.” His deliv-
ery was very creditable indeed and aside
from several inconsistent paragraphs his
production evidenced much’ time and
thought. George R. Weiland, of State
College, followed with a most able and
strongly argumentative oration on
“The Silver Question.” Mr. Weiland,
though a radical free trader, is pro-
nounced against free coinage and the
points he used to substantiate his
position would have been very con-
vincing had he not have quoted from
Carnegie’s flimsy articleon the A B C
of money which appeared in a recent
number of the North American Review
His delivery was forcible, his enuncia-
tion all that could have been desired
and his style invigorating. In fact so
well was his effort received that pro-
longed applause followed his retirement.
John Murphy Small, of Harrisburg,
was the next orator and the manner 1n
which he handled “A Plea for the
Criminal’ showed that his soul had
been in the work, His ideas were
slightly a la Bellamy, but perhaps prac-
ticable. Then Fred F. Weld, of Sugar
Grove, treated the audience to a nice
little talk on ‘Over the Alps lies Italy.
He was followed by Roy Briscoe Mat-
tern, of Milesburg, whose flowery flights
and tributes to the inyiolability of Amer-
ican womanhood captivated the =au-
dience and won the prize for ‘The
American Home.” ' John Grier Walsh,
of West Chester, was the last speaker
and after his entertaining production
the audience adjourned to the cooler re-
treats of the campus and village.
The moon's rise proved one of the most
glorious sights that it has ever been our
lot to witness. The full red orb slowly
ascending from the southeastern heavens
was watched by nearly every visitor of
the place and when it shone forth in all
its effulgent glory those who have never
seen a full moon-tide at this charming
place realized what a truly favored spot
it is.
TUESDAY.
The busiest day of the week was ush-
ered in by the sun, and as it peeped out
from behind the pines of old Nittany,
“early birds’ look askance at the first
rays that were chasing the mists of
night before them in a manner that
clearly proclaimed their intent upon
making sweltering humanity even more
cognizant of their presence than they
were the day before,when;thermometers
registered 96° in the shade. Tuesday
was the busiest day for the following
reasons :
At 8-30 the annual meeting of the
Alumni association was held. At 9-45
the cannons boomed out the Guberna-
torial salute of seventeen guns. At 10
the Trustees met. And at 12 m. the
Alumni dinner was served.
Just 256 covers had been laid in the
Armory and when the Honorable ¥ran-
cis Jordan, of Harrisburg,and the Presi-
dent of the College headed the column
toward the tables the orchestra broke
out in the “High School Cadets’
March.” It was truly a grand sight
to see how nicely everything was car-
ried out. Caterer Achenbach had sur-
passed all former affairs and the dainty
menus lying at each place were but a
glimpse into the collation that was
waiting. After a short prayer the din-
ner began, Everything done to music,
with a most entrancing effect. The
last course was served all too soon for
when the rap of the toast master called
those whose longing eyes were still lin-
gering over the dainty dishes to order,
we distinctly heard sighs of regret.
The flow of wit that followed in tart af-
ter dinner speeches by Hon. John. A.
Woodward, of Howard, Capt. Samuel
R. Dowing, of West Chester, J. A.
Robb, of Pittsburg, Cyrus Gordon, Esq.
of Clearfield, W. B: N. Hawk, of
Johnstown, Hiram Young and J.
Frank Shields who responded to the
toast proposed to the classof ’92, in a
very breezy vein, suffices for those mor-
tals whose appetites could not be satiated
in this hour and a haif allowed for that
purpose.
After dinner the Delegates and Alum-
ni retired to the chapel to elect trustees
with the result that the following gen-
tlemen will succeed themselves on the
board, Hon. Geo. W. Hood, Indiana ;
Andrew Carnegie, Esq., Pittsburg, H.
V. White, Esq., Bloomsburg; Joel A.
Herr, Esxq., Cedar Springs, and Cyrus
Gordon, Esq., of Clearfield.
At 3 o'clock Lieut. S. 0.” Wolf, 4th
Inf, U.S. A., formed a parade of the
cadet corps and marched in review.
Notwithstanding the sun’s awful heat
and the fact that the tactics have
been changed recently the students
made & very presentable appearance.
The different maneuvers were executed
with. precision and the manual was like
clock work.
HENSEL’S “IDEAL IN ORATORY.
Hon. William U. Hensel, Attorney
General of the Commonwealth, elected
the ‘Ideal in Oratory” as the subject
Association. For years this
who attended, but Tuesday night it
was the exception, and those who had
the'pleasure of hearing the bright Lancas
ter attorney in his clean cut talk, realiz-
ed the strength of the mind that is
watching over thd Keystone’s legal in-
terests. Mr, Hensel, unlike Daniel
Dougherty. when talking on the same
subject, did not take the line many sup-
posed he would when they learned his
subject, but starting with the inception
of public institutions for instruction, in
the State, he led his hearers on throngh
the wonderful improvements, through
the various departments, scientific and
otherwise to the gist of his theme. Then
with the force of a logician he impress-
ed on the audience the real value of or-
atory. Not stopping to air his views as
to what special qualifications were re-
quisite to the art, he spoke of its value.
Its worth to those who cultivated “Ora-
torical powers,” said he, *‘are as much
commodities to be disposed of at the
highest price, as are any thing man pro-
duces or conceives.”” The audience fol-
lowed the lino of his thought with ex-
pectancy and when he had finished all
were sorrow that he had been so soon
done.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
As for weather, commencement day
was but a repetition of its three prede-
cessors, the heat had no diminuting ef-
fect on the crowd, however, and when
the bells sounded the half hour past ten
o’clock through the corridors of the
main building every seat in the chapel
and every square inch of its standing
capacity was occupied by fathers, moth-
ers, sisters, brothers, friends, sweethearts
of the graduates. The exercises were
very pretty, though sad the thought for
those who in cap and gown awaited the
last adieu from their loved instructors,
The following is the list of orators
with their subjects: Oration, “Law as
the means of Social Improvement,’
Raphael Kessler; Oration, “Mongolian
Immigration,” Willis McKee ; Oration,
“The Statesmanship of Gladstone,”
Howard Riley Pratt; Oration, “The
Fanatic as a Civilizer,”” Miss Eloise
Keller Meek ; Valedictory oration,
Milton Speer McDowell ; It would be
impossible to make favorable comment
of one of the addresses without includ-
ing all the rest, so excellent were they,
both from point of composition and de-
livery.
The Hon. Wm. T, Harris, of Wash-
ington, D. C., one of the widest known
philosophical writer of the day then de-
livered the Address to the graduating
class.
After a short intermission the follow-
ing degrees and prizes were awarded.
The degree of C. E. to J. Price Jackson
'89, of State College. B. S. to all of
the graduating class except Messrs
Abreu, Saylor and Smiley. B.} Ag.
was conferred on the two former and a
certificate for special work in chemistry
was given the latter. The first honor
men were - Messrs. Kessler, McKee and
Shields, and those who came in for sec-
ond honors were: Miss Meek and
Messrs. Herr and Pratt. The English
prize for the best work in that Sline in
the A, Prep. year was given to John T.
McCormick, a son of Rep. McCormick,
J. C. Trout, of Tyrone, captured the
A. Preparatory declamatory prize while
F. M. Olds, of State College,] was the
recipient of the prize for the best work
in Industrial Drawing in the same year.
The McCallister prize for the best ex-
amination to the Freshman class was
awarded to John M. Brewer, of Phila-
delphia. The Junior Oratorical prize
to R. B. Mattern, of Milesburg. The
three Orvis prizes, for the best mathe-
matical work in the Sophomore year,
to Wm: A, Selliman, Pottsville; John
B. Hench, Northumberland ; and John
‘White, Milroy, respectively.
The formality of receiving their
sheep skins was then gone through with
and the President, in a brief speech, ex-
pressed his gratification at the snccess-
ful termination of a successful collegiate
course. All wasover and the class of
1892 was graduated. It had laid aside
the student role to take upon itself that
of Alumnus. Faithful to its alma ma-
ter. Faithful to itself,
The class includes the following ladies
and gentlemen :
D. W. Abreu,......(B. Ag.)......Santa Clara, Cuba.
C. M. H. Atherton(Chem.,)......State College;

Thus closed perhaps the most success-
ful College year the Pennsylvania State
Coliege has ever known. Success-
ful because of the renewed zeal of its
faculty inspired by the confidence of
the Commonwealth reposed in it
through substantial Legislative appro-
pristions. Successful because of the
triumphs of its students’ physical train-
ing on the Athletic field. Commence-
ment week was the glorious finale of a
most comprehensive year. Delightful
weather, able speakers, inspiring music,
and throngs of visitors all combined to
make it an occasion long to be remem-
bered and difficult to be surpassed.
THE JUNIOR'S FAREWELL RECEPTION,
On Wednesday evening the Armory
was ablaze with light and resplendent in
its gay draperies of college colors when
the Junior class received in honor of
the graduates. Fully five hundred peo-
ple assembled in the great drill hall to
spend a last joyous evening with those
who for four years had held sway as
the leaders at ‘the institution. The
dance began at 8 o’clock and when the
warning lights at 12.45 signaled the ap-
proach of the “auf weider sehen” a sign
of regret went up from many a
breast. Too soon was it all over, the
last strain of the waltz echoing through
the trussed roof and the lights slowly
dimming pon a scene which for beauty
and gayety is seldom witnessed in this
section.
The suceess of the entertainment was
largely due to Messrs. Girvin, of Phila-
delphia, Caughey, of Fairview, and
Eachus, of Coatesville, the Junior hop
committee.
The patronesses were: Mrs, Daniel
Rhoads, Mrs, John H. Orvis, Mrs. G.
W. Jackson, Mrs. Daniel S. Keller
Mrs. Geo. F. Harris, Mrs. Daniel H.
Hastings, Mrs, Wilbur F. Reeder,
Mrs. George W. Atherton, Mrs. R. M.
Girvin, Mrs. W. McK. Williamson,
Mrs. E. H. Davis, Mrs. G. G. Pond,
Mrs. G. H. Foster, Mrs. Louis E.
Reber, Miss Alice Wilson.
