Shriner preached an ex- cellent sermon in the Methodist church on Sunday morning for the nonprogressive and faint hearted members of his flock, who just at this time seem tobe in the majority. Indeed it was so good that one brother who usually is with the ‘blue glass’ con- tingent was heard to say ‘‘if ever a sermon was ordered by the grace of God that one was.’ ——Of course it was altogether unin- tentional but mason John Noll knocked a hole in the Democratic platform on Wed- nesday afternoon that proved more than the political builders of this office could ; repair. The WATCHMAN news press was running with the pages containing the ac- count of the Kansas City convention when |. Johnny knocked a spawl off a stone he was working with outside the press rooms. It flew through the open window and landed right on the type on the rapidly running “machine. It was not noticed for some time and if the platform yon read in this paper has a hole in it don’t lay it to our lack of faith, but to Johnny Noll’s stove. ——Fast driving on our streets here on Sunday bas become so common that it is about time that there would be a stop put to it by arresting a few of the offenders. People have a right to drive on Sunday, if they want, but we do object seriously’ to their making a speedway of our principal streets on the Sabbath day. Of course some few of them are horse owners, though no one would accuse them of having horse | sense, but the majority of them are young skalliwags, who have raked enough money together to hire a team to show off on the streets. They are the kind that allow their mothers to toil and rub over the wash board at home without even a thank you in payment for their clean linen and it is surprising that any livery man, .no matter how poor he is, will intrast his horses to them the second time.

The crowd was variously estimated at from 6000 to 8000 people and better order, less vulgarity and more friendly intercourse pever characterized a great crowd like that was before. Everyone seemed bent on having a good time, but was also con- siderate of the feelings and comfort of everyone else. Everything was managed to the nicety of perfection, except ithe facilities for eating and that could not be helped, as it is an absolute impossibility to estimate a picnic crowd before hand or to judge what percentage will carry baskets | with food for themselves. i All of the eating stands were sold out be- fore five o'clock. in. the evening and the "thousands who staid for the musical specta- cle were compelled.to go bungry: or be con- tent with whatever scraps -they could pick up. The principal features were the con- certs by the famous Repasz band of Wil- liamsport, under the direction of, Ww. ‘Herdic Wood. During the afternoon the band gave a delightful ‘concert in the ball park and in the evenicg the grand musical §pectacle **The Spanish War’’ was produced. It was witnessed by about 1500 people and was received with great enthu- giasm. The great stage was brilliant with electric lights. Back of the band was the chorus of one hundred voices and over them all a great canvas on which was shown moving pictures suggestive of scenes of peace and war. Two companies of military manceuvred about the stage and lent a thrilling realism to the scene, as their evolutions were ‘shown by a power- ful search light. One of the features most favorably received was the singing of the quartet. The band’s work was superb and was 80 minute in its descriptive presenta- tion of the music that the audience was carried into frequent out-bursts of patriotic enthusiasm. The Central railroad company reports having carried 5,500 people to the park. There where a great many others who drove. oe ; The picnic netted the Undine Fire Co. $800, the largest amount ever realized from such an evens. The committee in charge, Messrs. Jacob 8.

Welshans, of Williamsport, were on Wednesday held under $100 bail each in Williamsport, charged with setting fire to forests. Though no malicious intent could be shown the men are éo be held responsible for a fire that started through their care- lessness. ——If eggs were sold by weight here as they are in some parts of the West, Mrs. Sue L. Fisher, of Milesburg, would soon become the Hetty Green of that community with her yellow cochin hens. Last week she brought us up three eggs which weighed 10} 0z. One of them measured 8 by 6} inches in circamference while the other two were 7 by 6 inches. eee re.

The one thing more necessary than all others to look after is to see that the weeds and grass are cut out of the gutters in front of your properties and also hoed clean from the curbs to the wagon roads. There is nothing that gives a street sucha ragged, unkempt, way-back Trance as a fringe of ‘weeds aud grass along its sides. ud Scrape both gutters and streets clean and you will contribute more than you think to the natty appearance of the place. We are 100 years old, but there is no need of letting our visitors see the marks of age and disuse sticking up on all sides. | mere QA rere THE CORNER STONE LAID.—There wit quite a crowd present to witness the cere- mony of the corner stone laying for the new Union chapel at Pleasant View Sunday afternoon. The exercises were in charge of Gen. James A. Beaver who presided with a grace begotten of many experiences of the sort. i After the corner stone had been laid by the members of the building committee, Messrs. Emanuel Noll, Frank McCoy, Emanuel Korman, Edward Cain and Al- fred Hassinger, the audience adjourned to meet again in the ‘‘red school house,” where addresses were made by Dr. Wm. Laurie and Rev. Shriner. cia The new chapel is estimated will cost ‘about $1,500 and will be undenomination- al. The plan for building it is the direct desire of all the people of that locality to have a place where all could worship, re- gardless of creed, and it is their Hope that the building soon to be completed will af- ford it. It will be made of brick and stone. Benjamin Smith is doing the stone work and Frank Wallace will lay the brick. iis ope lls GENERAL MILES TO BE HERE FOR THE, CENTENNIAL.—The Centennial of Centre county is only two weeks off now and ar- rangements for a great celebration are be- coming more perfect every day. The present outlook is for the most gigantic demonstration ever witnessed in Central Penncylvania. In addition to the parades —military, civic and industrial—tourna- ments and fetes many men of national eminence will be here. has : Some are coming as speakers, = while others are attracted by a desire to be pres- ent at the dedication of the site for the soldiers’ monument and Curtin memorial. Among the latter the most distinguished is Gen. Nelson A. Miles, head of the army of the United States. He has written to burgess Blanchard as follows: HEADQUARTES OF THE ARMY, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3rd, 1900. EDMUND BLANCHARD, Esq., Centre County Centennial Commission, P.llefonte, Pa. Dear Sir—I duly received your favor of the 26tk ultimo. I already have so many engagements for this month that I did not anticipate making any others which would take me out of the city. Still, I should like to witness the cere- monies on Military Day, when the ground is dedicated for the proposed monument to the patriotic dead, and if I find it possible to come I will do so, but I do not wish to make an address. I thank yon for your cordial invitation, and will advise you later in the month if I shall be able to be present. Very truly yours, NELSON A. MILES. While Gen. Miles’ reply does no state positively thas he will be in Bellefonte on the 25th it goes as far as any one in his po- sition can commis himself as to time.

The service of infant baptism was ad - ministered during the morning service. Rev. Tompkinson delivered an appropriate sermon intheevening. His subject was “Our Liber- ties.” Taking effect July 5th, and until Sept. 1st, with the exception of pay day and cn Satur- day nights, nearly all places of business will close their doors promptly at 6 p.m. This will enable the clerks to enjoy an evening off during the hot summer months. And yet, those whose labors do not end until 6 p. m., it’s difficult to see how they can do their buy- ing during these early closing hours. The women folks do not have time to ‘‘burn,” as some people seem to think, and in cases where it falls upon the men to do the buying it is sure to prove quite difficult. Pine Grove Mention. .
