R. is suffering so badly for want of coal that engines on that road are being fired with wood.

Dolan, David Paul Fort- ney, John M. Keichline, Jr., Mary Touise Kellerman, Maurice J. Kelley, William H. Runkle, 8S. Elizabeth Smith, Refus Tracy Strohm and Isabel Taylor. These young ladies and gen- tlemen having completed all the work required in the curriculum of the school were presented with their diplomas on Wednesday night. The regular commencement exercises were held in Garman’s opera house in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and the program, as published last week, was faithfully carried out, To individual: ize on the orations and essays delivered by the young graduates would be im- possible, for they were all so good. The work of all branches of the Belle- fonte schools show such marked ad. vancement every time it is presented to public conception, that we are often puzzled to determine where it will end. In point of composition, exhaustively handled subjects and general graceful- ness of delivery the productions of the class were indeed praise-worthy. And the crowded auditorium and the unflag- ging attention attested it more than any words of the press. The graduates were seated on the stage, which was artistically decorated in the class colors, lavender and purple, and seemed a veritable bower of flow- ers. The motto “Mind Moves Matter” hung in a significant scroll over the heads of the students and all combined to make a most pleasing effect. Meyers’ orchestra added the final stroke to com- plete the joyful afternoon and from the salutatory oration of Fred Blair to the valedictory address of Rufus Strohm everything was complete. In the evening the opera house was again packed with relatives and friends of the graduates who assembled to hear Col, J. L. Spangler’s address to the class and witness the final severing of schol- arly connection with the school system which was effected when each member was presented with a roll of parchment which certified proficiency in all the branches of learning taught. The pre- sentation speech was made by D. F. Fortney, president of the board, and with it over the class of ’94 became known only as alumni of the schools. Several pleasant little exchanges were indulged between the classes during the evening, showing that alter contention comes good fellowship. Exhibition day is the most note- wortby one in the year for the primary branches of the schools. This is a new departure in the modern idea of schooling and the way the children take hold of it predestines its success. The idea is to exhibit all the work done in the primary schools during the year in connection with the results of the ideas of harmony in colors and designs as evinced by the children. This latter feature grows out of the introduction of a kind kindergar- ten work in the schools. The scholars are given various colored paper to make figures and blend colors, they draw de- signs and fill them in with. colors and do needle and carpentry work, all of which affords a recreative diversion from rou- tine of the school room and tends to de- velop the talent of the scholar. Last year the exhibition attracted much attention and yesterday the South ward school building was crowded with parents and others interested in the work. All seemed delighted with what they saw. The exhibit is more com- plete than last year, and shows better results, in fact it is so good that the S:ate instructor, during a visit here sev- eral days ago, said she had not seen any work in the State to compare with it. In the rooms taught by Miss Rankin and Miss Dorworth, where no guide books are furnished, the results are traly remarkable. DeatH oF Mgrs.

It will be to your advantage. This firm is continually offering bargains to the pub- lic, only last week it advertised binder twine at a much lower figure than any other concern in the county. If you want to save money you must watch these opportunities. ——The article that appeared on the local page of the Democrat yesterday, taken from the Huntingdon News is just four years old. We are surprised that the Democrat should be so far be- hind the times, but several other county papers have made the same error. The Philipsburg Journal started it by clip- ping the article from a Huntingdon News of the year 1890, not knowing the paper was four years old. ——The auditors of Benner township got it into their heads lately that John Reed, of Huntingdon county, who had been a supervisor of the township owed them some money on his old duplicate. They sent him a letter to make settle- ment, which he did recently, and found that instead of owing Benner township it was in debt to him to the amount of $11.11. The fellows up there who thought they were going to buy a stone crusher with what Reed owed them will have to use the sledges a while longer, CounciL Transacrs JUNE Busi- Ness. —The borough council met Mon- day evening with all members but two present. Very little business aside from the ordinary routine was transacted. All committees reported their work well in hand and several petitions were heard. Among them was one from the residents in the vicinity of the car works ; assessor John Sheffler repre- senting them asked council to build a boardwalk out South: Potter street for their convenience. The matter was re- ferred to the street committee. The Lamb street bridge over Spring creek was condemned as unsafa, and & motion to appoint viewers on it was adopted. Council granted Lyman Corman per- mission to erect a booth in the Diamond for the sale of confectionery and other stuff, providing the property holders do not object. Of course’ Mr. Corman’s being blind warrants such a concession in his behalf, but we do not think 1t good policy for council to go too far in granting such privileges, and it would be wise if he were required to erect a portable booth so that on days of public demonstrations the stand could be moved away from the Diamond and not mar the beauty of the only public square in town. Be Carervr How You SenND BiLLs.—The question as to what kind of wording is allowable on a postal card is ordinarily a much mooted one, but as yet we have not heard of any in this community getting into serious trouble on account of having over stepped the law with regard to the matter. It has been the general impression hereabouts that no kind of adun is permissible on a postal card and that mailing the same would be a punishable offence. An answer of the first assistant post-master general to a recent inquiry on the sub- ject embodied the decision of Judge Thayer, December, 1889, on the word- ing of a postal card that was mailable snd one that was not. The mailable one read : ‘Please call and settle account, which is long past due, and for which our collector has called several times, aad oblige.” The unmailable one reads : “You owe me $1.80. We have called several times for same. If not paid at once, we shall place with our law agency for collection.” The last senteuce, it is stated. ruled out this communication. Postal cards are not mailable if they contain lan- guage of “‘a threatening character,” and it is a very serious threat to the average man to tell him that you are going to sue him. There iz no law however to prevent you from putting an X on your card to let your debtor understand that you are really cross with him. Now these aresome of the ways that others have adopted to conform to a law which is intended to protect the debtor from the long nosed class that is always peering into the business of others, but none of them are as effective as the one adopted by Bellefonte’s ex-tax collector, S. D. Ray Esq. Under his regime whenever a fellow was inclined to take more than the limit in paying his taxes Mr. Ray would send him a postal say- ing. “If you have time vo-day, call at my office as I have some business of great importance to you.” Of course the unsuspecting delinquent hurried around, after the receipt of such a note, thinking that some rich relative had died and left him a fortune, and,imagine his chagrin, when he was told that his taxes must be paid at once. Tae Kinp oF CHARITY THAT IS FrurTFUL.—The recent closing of an- other term of the sewing school, which has been connected with the W. C. T. U. work in this place for several years, calls to our notice the good which this kind of charity may produce. During the seven months continuance of the school eighty children, all vol- untarily, made there way to the rooms of the Union in the Exchange and there they were taught the art of needle work. Poor girls of all ages frequented the school and many, led more by curiosity than anything else at first, became in- terested and though they may not have learned much still they were taught to put on a neat patch or mend a rent in their own dress, accomplishments which they might never have acquired had it not been for the school. Where the teachers were punctual and interested in the work of instruction the scholars were the same, but unfor- tunately several promising classes were allowed to dwindle for the want of some one 10 give them the proper care. The work of the school usually begins with the making of a complete out-fit of doll clothes, then an apron for the scholar follows. During the term the ladies gave out forty-six gingham aprons. After this came the learning of the dif- ferent stitches, seams, tucking, patching and button hole making, all done on muslin.—then the scholar was ready to do any kind of sewing required. This branch of the woman’s work is | one especially fruitful in its results. For through 1t many children, who do not have an opportunity of learning at home, are taught how to handle a needle, then too the benefits of associating with in- telligent, christian women a few hours a week cannot help but be manifest in the future of these children who attend the W. C. T. U. sewing school. Meyers Gor Five YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY. —Thomas Meyers, the Philipsburg robber, was called up be- fore Judges Furst, Riley and Faulkner, sitting at argument court on Tuesday, and was sentenced to five years solitary confinement and hard labor in the western penitentiary. He had plead guilty to three indict- ments at the April sitting of the quarter sessions, but sentence was suspended, and through the intercession of a long petition and a concurrence of. counsels he was discharged on good behavior until September, Scarcely ten day® later he was arrested again for breaking into Asheroft’s beer house in Philipe- burg and the sentence Tuesday was given on two of the old indictments. One for three years, one dollar fine and costs ; another for two years, one dol- lar fine and costs, and the third is still held against him. Meyers had every chance in the world to make a man of himself and since he didn’t improve the opportunity his sentence 18 no more than he deserved. Sheriff Condo took him to Pittsburg Wednesday morning. Cn. ——Miscreants pried open the rear door of Blind Charley Rine’s cigarstore, on Wednesday night, and stole $15 in change.

The contests in- clude all the out-door sports known to’ the college athlete, and will settle the question as to which class shall hold the silver cup trophy given by the class of 92. —=~While cutting wood in the mountains David Krape, of Haines township, recently cut a large tree that lodged in the lower limbs of another nearby as it was falling. He climbed up the partly fallen tree to cut it loose, when the whole thing went down and he was pinned under the limbs. On cutting himself out he foumd his leg broken below the knee. His cries after awhile attracted a woman to his relief and she notified neighbors who carried him home. “PauL JoNES' BY AMATEURS.—The opera Paul Jones, given last Friday night by the Bellefonte opera company was a complete success in ever particular. The chorus was large and strong, the number of pretty girls many, and the audience one of the largest and possibly the most enthusiastic that has ever been in the opera house. The opera in itself is lively and melodious and those who went expecting to hear sweet music and good singing were not disappointed, but rather surprised at the amount of fairly good acting that was done. In respect of pure excellence the star of ths com- pany was Lee B. Woodcock, who com- pletely merged himself into “Paul Jones ”’ He never slighted a note or a syllable with his rich, fuil barytene and his singing was admirable. Miss Kate Lundy as the scolding wife of Bouillabaisse was perfect and while she has a sweet contralto voice it was as an actress that she showed remarkabla ability. Miss Marie G. Meek sang th® leading soprano role and Miss Berenice Moore was a preity, coy schemer as Malaguena. When Agnes Huntingdon played Paul Jones, her Trocadero did not com- pare with John Blanchard, who as the silly old governor was a splendid success, indeed the individual successes of the leading characters were widely com- mented upon, and it would be a grate- ful task to take up one by one the ex- cellence ' of the entire company. Mr, Hard P. Harris’ acting and make up as Biccquet caused nearly as much amusement and applause ad John Blanchard’s dancing or Bouilla- basse’s jokes and his “shipping news” song was exceptionally well done, The old smuggler, James Harris, kept the house in an uproar in the fun- ny lines and was assisted with the comedy parts by George R. Meeks as Petit Pierre a fisher lad. Altogether the evening's enteriain- ment was most enjoyable and it cer- tainly was encouraging to James R. Hughes, G. Nevin Brandon and Wil- bur F. Harris who worked so untiringly to give it the vim and dash necessary in comic opera and to them as well as the company we as an audience extend our congratulations and thanks for a very pleasant evening. In abeyance to a popular demand the opera was repeated on Monday night, when Miss Katharine Harris took the dialogue part of Chopinette, while Miss Ella Twitmire and other, members of the companysang tha score. News Purely Personal. —Dr. Kirk was in Pittsburg Thursday on business. —Miss Rosa Fox of east Bishop street isen- tertaining her friend Miss Cora Hiltner of Tyrone. : —Among ovr pleasant callers on Wednesday were Mrs. D.

VErY COMPLIMENTARY INDEED.-- Editor Jones, of the Tyrone daily Herald, was a visitor in town last Friday and in the evening witnessed the production of the comic opera ‘Paul Jones” by the Bellefonte opera company. Next day his paper contained his opinion of the opera as foliows : “The Bellefonte opera company last night produced that pleasing opera “Paul Jones,” to a crowded house and scored a tremendous success. It is safe to say that 1t was decidedly the finest amateur production ever given in this section. Every one of the forty-two members of the company played his part to perfection.” This is indeed a compliment, coming from a Tyrone paper and written by a man who has been to a certain degree connected with Tyrone’s own amateur organization that has produced several operas and one who has witnessed many similar productions in Central Pennsyl- vania. ——We have been enjoying this week some of Mr. George Musser's gilt edged butter and can heartily rec- ommend it to those who like fresh sweet country butter. Mr. Musser is one of Buffalo Run’s progressive farmers, who believe in the best results possible. He keeps only full blooded Jersey cattle, and the butter he brings to town shows much and caraful attention. ——Hugh M. Taylor was admitted to the practice of law in the several courts of Centre county on Tuesday. After passing satisfactory examinations in all the prescribed branches he has become a full fledged attorney and is ready to handle legal business cf all kinds.
