A BELLEFONTER ToOK FIRST PRIZE.—
It will be gratifying to Bellefonters to
know that one of the young women of our
town has been honored with a prize by the
judges of award for the elocutionary con-
test” at the commencement of the Central
state Normal school at Lock Haven. The
contest was held Monday. evening in the
chapel. There were five contestants, four
young ladies and one gentleman. Miss
Elizabeth Faxon, a daughter of Thomas
Faxon, of this place, was given the first
prize in dramatics. In speaking of her
performance the Lock Haven Democrat has
this to say:
“The ‘Coming Out’ of Miss Cummings,” by
Miss Elizabeth Faxon, was a humorous as
well as an able effort. Miss Faxon’s individ-
uality was admirably fitted to the selection.
Her transitions from the free rollicking
mountain girl to the conventional society
belle, and the other characters that were to
appear before her, were made with a natural-
ness that indicated a perfect response of voice
and body that was truthful and artistic.

FOSTER’S WEATHER PREDICTION.—My
last bulletin gave forecast of the storm
wave to cross the continent from 19th to
23rd, and the next will reach the Pacific
coast about 24th, cross the ‘west of Rockies
country by close 25th, great central valleys
26th to 28th, eastern States 29th.
Warm wave will cross the west of Rock-
ies country about 24th, great eentral valleys
26th, eastern States 28th. Cool wave will
cross the west of Rockies country about the
27th, great central valleys 20th, eastern
States July lst. :
Temperature and rainfall of the week
ending 8 a. m. July 3rd will average about
normal. ww
The long hot wave predicted in these
bulletins will end not far from June 20th
with extensive rains and great fall in tem-
perature, after which ‘the weather will be
more agreeable till we reach the heated
term of July, complete forecasts of which
will be given in bulletin of July 1st.
The long-ago forecasts that this would he
a year of unusual, extreme and remarkable
weather events is being verified by the
actual weather of each succeeding week.
These extremes will be ‘continued into the
fall and winter months® with still greater
force, and before we get through with these
great magnetic disturbances it will have
been demonstrated that planetary influences
can produce uncomfortable environments
for man and beast. :

jumped out, and in order to free the horse
were obliged to cut the harness and then had
considerable trouble in getting him out of
the water. Mr. Long had his right hand
somewhat shattered, and Mr. Krape was con-
siderably shaken up. Remarkable to say,
the buggy was only slightly damaged while
the hoise escaped unhurt.

change for the better was brought about by
the liberal use of lime.

great pleasure. Miss Taylor has many charms
and did her full share in making the social
gathering in her honor successful.
Amos Parker, one of the oldest residents of
Black Hawk, had the misfortune to have an
eye destroyed while blasting at Grossman’s
recently. He lighted a fuse and went to a
place of safety, but when the report was not
heard within a reasonable time he went to
look for the cause and had almost reached
the place when the explosion occurred with
the result above mentioned, Mr. Parker was
in service during the civil war and was well
familiar with the smell of powder and the
effects of its force.
A description of the hall is here unneces
sary as the readers of the WATCHMAN have
had it heretofore. Itis due Hon. Leonard
Rhone to say that his untiring efforts and
support of the rank and file of the members
of Progress grange that the crowning work of
this subordinate grange was completed with
the ceremony on Saturday. A noticeable
feature of the proceedings was that there was
absolutely no mention made of the financial
phase of the institution, that having all been
arranged previous. The Arcadia stands a
monument to the efforts of the grange.
To show the necessity of care in the con-
struction of building with reference to venti-
lation a case is here cited to show that that
feature is not only indispensible for health
but as well for the preservation of the ma-
terial that enters into the structure. Four
years ago the floors were laid in the Reform-
ed church, which edifice is as handsome in
every respect as any can be found in Central
Pennsylvania. Since last winter there was
suspicion that the floor of the vestibule was
giving away, while every part of the other
building was in perfect condition. Finally
the carpets were lifted in that quarter, when
it was discovered that the floor was totally
wrecked by dry-rot, caused by an absolute
lack of ventilation underneath. The floor
and joists were replaced last week and” a
grate net to afford a circulation of air.
ArcADIA DEDICATED. — The dedica-
tion of the Grange Arcadia took place
Saturday afternoon. The ceremony which’
was specially prepared for such occa-
sions is very pretty and fitting and was well
gone through with by the officers of the
subordinate grange. Col. Weaver, on behalf
of the State grange, received the keys from
contractor Ed. Forman, they were delivered
to the building committee,who in turn hand-
ed them to the master of Progress grange.
The lecturer of State grange delivered” an
excellent address, touching upon the topics
of the day in a most forcible way from the
standpoint of a farmer. Col. Weaver also
gave an interesting talk. He rarely says
anything unless he has something to say,
and on this occasion hLe presented his argu-
ments in choice expressions. Although the
weather was threatening the attendance was
very good, and an attentive audience it was.
The music furnished by the several church
choirs with Mrs. Finkle, of Farmers Mills,
at the organ and Prof. Crawford, director,
was excellent.

McKinley and the Old Soldier.
COMMUNICATED.
I hope you will permit me through the col-
umns of your paper to give the sentiments of
an old soldier who served four years in the
Civil war.
I have been a close chserver of the differ-
ent administrations from 1865 down to the
present date, and I am forced to confess, nev-
er under any other administration, was there
so much promised and so little done for the
old soldier, as under the McKinley rule.
The first move in favor of the veteran was to
place at the head of the Pension Department a
man whose sympathies run directly against
the northernsoldier. This man, Clay Evans,
was chosen for a political purpose, but that
move will never win. I trust my comrades
will not again be duped by oily tongued ora-
tors who advocate the re-election of and con-
tinuance of McKinley rule.
You have been deceived once. Will you
be again? I think it would be well for us to
follow the example set by our New York
comrades. They denounce Clay Evans and
ask for his removal and you can safely say
we have scores of men in this vicinity who
would endorse his speedy removal. What
would we have said if a Democratic adminis-
tration had placed at the head of the Pension
Department such a man?

HONEST PRICES
ARE WHAT EVERBODY WANTS
WHEN FIXING UP THE
HOUSE, OFFICE OR PLACE
OF BUSINESS,
and we were never better prepared
than now to supply them. Papers are
up in price a little bit, but you can
still be suited out of our immense
stock at a price that will be satisfac-
tory.
Never before have we been in a
position to decorate interiors as suc-
cessfully and artistically as now.
The lincrusta-walton, burlap, plas-
tico and stucco designs are charming
and can be used to such good effect
and so inexpensive that they are prov-
ing very popular.
We have all grades of paper, the-
cheapest and the best. All we ask is
for you to call and see them.

Now is the time of the year when
a little fresh paint or varnish put on
by good mechanics does more than
anything else to brighten up for -sum-
mer. We have a large corps of paint-
ers at work, but we are not too busy to
give you prompt attention.
In picture and room mouldings
there is nothing later than the designs
we are showing. Come in and see
them. The prices are right.

REMEMBER
We are in the decorating and paint-
ing business and are here to please you,
Our time is yours. You need but call
