course at the morning service was as
able as it was novel in 1ts presentation
and the learned divine transported his
hearers to a God-land, which he thinks
inevitable, and there entertained them
with the simplicity of a wholly chris-
tian civilization, His english was ex-
ceptional and while carrying the
argument of a theologian was so simple
that a cLild could understand.

A FEw THOUGHTS FOR HUSBANDS.
—The much mooted question ‘is mar-
riage a failure’ has almost worn itself |
out before the eyes of the reading pub- |
!lic, yet every day some fresh evidence
which seems to substantiate the state-
How-
ever strong the argument or convincing
the proof the better judgment can nev-
er be brought to believe that this wed-
ding of man and woman, a divine de-
cree, is an institution which has failed
to keep pace with the rapid strides of
civilization. It was born with man
and is identical today with its constitu-
tion at its birth. Itis the ome thing
of which we know that has never
changed and can never change.
Though the hustle, bustle life of
the later days and the growing tenden-
cy to make marriage as much of a busi-
ness transaction as possible seems to
have degenerated its sacred rites there
still exists as much sentiment in the old
love as there ever was but men are so
much taken up with business that they
seem to forget the wives who are left at
home to wonder how they could have
been so completely deceived into believ-
ing that the warm hearted passionate
lover who wooed them could ever de-
velop into the distant, thoughtless man
whom they now call husband.
The following few squibs from an
exchange contain some wholesome ad-
vice to husbands who are inclined to for-
get their families in the rush of busi-
ness.
Don’t take it for granted that if your
wife wants a little change she will ask
for it,
Don’t forget that the sunshiny side of
a woman’s nature cannot outlive cold-
ness, indifference and neglect.
Don’t meddle in the affairs of the
house. The man who gives out the
week’s wash and counts the cost of
every household move 1s an unmitigated
nuisance. :
Don’t forget the patient little woman
you call your wife was once your sweet-
heart. A caress now and then or a ten-
der word costs so little and means so
much to the woman of your choice.
Don’t make a bolt from your 6
o'clock dinner table to your club and
leave the poor soul who would like to
enjoy your society to the horrors of an
evening alone. Remember that the
tenderest mother and the most untiring
housekeeper would enjoy an occasional
change from nursery and home duties.
A ProrEET AMONG Us-—As a
‘WATCHMAN reporter was crossing the
Diamond last Friday morning his at-
tention was arrested by a dapper look-
ing gentleman who was standing look-
ing wonderingly at the big gold fish on
tue steeple of the Court House. Its
nose pointed directly north-east and
when the gentleman began to realize
that bis studied expression had drawn
quite an audience around him he look-
ed around and said cheerily, “Good
morning, a beautiful morning, ain’t it,
but the biggest snow storm ol the season
will be here 1n a few hours.” Some of
the passers by looked at each other and
smiled, others stopped to talk borough
politics and the weather prognosticator
poked his hands deeper into his pockets
and strode off down town.
Exactly ten hours had elapsed when.
the same reporter had occasion to go
trom this office to the Court House and
by the merest chance he took the -zame
course he had traversed in the morning.
As he crossed the Diamond a figure ap-
proached. It was completely envelop-
ed 1n a big storm overcoat and a scotch
cap hid the face almost entirely from
view. As it passed in the knee deep
snow the reporter recognized the proph-
et of the morning.
It was indeed a strange co-incidence
that this man who at nine o’clcck in the
morning sporting a nobby blue melton
overcoat and silk bat, was prophecying
a blizzard should have been met just
ten hours later in the same place and
doubtless chuckling to himself at his
success. For in truth the ‘biggest
snow storm of the season’’ was raging.
It began snowing about noon and con-
tinued a regular blizzard until Saturday
morning.
HE ADVERTISED FOR A WIFE—AND
Gor ONE —Yesterday morning Regis-
ter Roop issued a marriage license to
John W. Mills, of Des Moines, Iowa,
and Mrs. Annie R. Heffman, of Mifflin-
burg, Pa. It was the culmination of a
courtship which began by the bride
elect’s having answered her groom’s ad-
vertisement for a help-meet which ap-
peared in the papers some six months
ago. They met yesterday mornmuog and
saw each other for the first time, In
this case we hope first - impressions are
lasting for they were pleased with one
another and got married immediately.
Girls don’t despair. Judicious use of
printers’ ink will bring you the coveted,
prize every time. Try the experiment
it you are in the matrimonial market.
——Mrs, Monroe Kreamer, who died
of consumption at her home on How-
ard street last Saturday afternoon, was
buried Tuesday morning. Mrs.
Kreamer, with her husband, came to
Bellefonte just a few years ago from
Aaronsburg. She was only 82 years
old, and the mother of four little chil-
dren, three of whom are living.
Tug SPrING ELecrioNs.—The result
of the spring elections within the coun-
ty, as fully as they have been filed in
the Prothonotary’s office, will be found
below. Politically there is but little
significance in the returns from any dis-
triet, politics in many instances being
entirely ignored, and personal prefer-
ences controlling the vote. We hope
that the successful ones will prove effi-
cient and faithtul officials—that the peo-
ple have secured good men to fili the
township and borough offices, and that
for the ensuing year the tendency to a
correct and competent administration of
these public duties may be for the better
all around.

——=Sheridan troop, of Tyrone, will
participate in the inaugural parade on
March 4th.
——A hungry DuBois man, named
Kite, recently ate four pounds of raw
beefsteak.
——Col. Charles Duffy, proprietor of
the Park hotel in Williamsport, was
stricken with paralysis and died on
Monday morning. He was walking
down street when he fell over dead.
——Perhaps the prettiest building in
Lock Haven is the one owned and oc-
cupied by the Trust company of that
place. It was designed by Robert Cole
Bellefonte’s architect and should be
a valuable advertisement.
——A Hartford paper says that an
amateur artist of that town chalked a
banana skin on the sidewalk, ‘the other
day, that looked so natural that every-
body gave it a wide berth, and one old
gentleman actually fell down, thinking
it his duty to do so.
——The interior of the Irvin House,
at Lock Haven, has been remodeled and
that best of land-lords, Hon. S. Woods
Caldwell, finds himself ensconced in one
of the most cheerful and cosiest offices
of any of the country hotels in the State.
Mr. Caldwell is just the man to grace it
and the weary traveler who finds the
Irvin has reached a haven where he can
rest in comfort and satisfaction.
Snow Bounp Trains.—There was a
general tie up of Bellefonte Central
trains on Wednesday owing to the fact
that several cuts on the road were drift-
ed full of snow. The special that left
here at seven o’clock for the assembly
at the College did not get there until
mid-night and the train that left there
at nine o'clock for this place arrived
here at three o’clock yesterday morning.
Atsome place there was ten feet of snow
and as the grade is so heavy the engines
could not push through it. Trains
were running nearly on time yesterday.
——Mr. ‘Joseph Miichell’s death,
from pneumonia, yesterday morning, at
the State College, was not & surprise to
bis friends, for although he had been
sick but little over a week he was dan-
gerously ill from the first and his physi-
cians gave no hope of his recovery.
Perhaps no one about the State College
was better known or held in higher es-
teem by those with whom he was
brought in contact. For eight years he
had filled the office of Postmaster, effi-
ciently and faithfully and had’ just: re-
ceived the appointment for a third term.
He was about 66 years old and was
born at the Miichell Homestead about
two miles trom the State College near
‘which he lived all his life. His wife
Eliza Thompson, died in July, ’90 and
he really never recovered from the
shock of her death. For many years
be had been a member of the Presby-
terian church and by his quiet life and
his genial and sympathetic disposition
had endeared himself to old and young.
He will be missed not only by his
children, Miss Lydia at home, John
and Edward of Minneapolis, Mrs,
Christie of St. Louis, and Will of Jean-
ette, but by students, friends and resi-
dents of the State College.
Rush, N, P.—Judge of election, M. H. Sieg--
| ——Chbarles L. Davis, after one year
| of retirement from the stage, has eon-
sented at the earnest demand of the pub-
lic and theatrical managers, to play a
special engagement of ten weeks in his
old play of “Alvin Joslin,” which has
made his name a house-hold word from
one end of the country to the other, play-
ing in the principal cities, and this has-
been selected by Mr. Davis as one of kis
favorites. He will appear at Garman’s
Opera House, on Friday evening, Feb-
ruary 24th. The whole entertainment
will be on a grand scale, coming direet
from the Alvin theatre, Pittsburgh,
Pa., the acknowledged handsomest
theatre in the world, of which Mr.
Davis is owner and manager, and where
he has given his personal attention to
getting up the scenery and properties
which have been prepared with special
care as to detail. Mr. Davis can al.
ways be relied on as certain to draw
large houses. His peculiar style of
comedy seems to be just what the pub-
lic wants, and his success has been.
phenomenal. The company has met
with praise and the play has been re-
modeled on such a plan as to leave
nothing lacking that may contribute to
its power of amusement. Mr. Davis
carries all special scenery used in the
play, and his hundred-thousand dollar
collection of diamonds will be worn in
the last act.
