Thomas Levan Bickel, the pastor of the Reformed church here, who bas accepted a call to the Fortieth and Spring Garden streets church in Philadel- phia. ——Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt will preach in the Presbyterian church here on Sunday evening. He is to deliver the baccalaureate sermon at The Pennsylvania State College in the morning and his many friends in Bellefonte will be delighted that this op- portunity of hearing him will be afforded. Bierly Bros. of Milesburg, had their new automobile in Bellefonte on Friday evening and cut quite a dash rolling about in it. They built it in their Milesburg shops and it presents a very handsome ap- pearance indeed. The ‘‘contraption,’” as we heard one fellow call it, consumes gasoline and is capable of making twenty- five miles an hour. ——DRev. Wilford P. Shriner, pastor of the Methodist church, delivered the bac- calaureate sermon to the class of 1901 of the Bellefonte High school on Sunday evening. The church was crowded with an audience that was at once im- pressed with the significance of the service and the sincere advice given to the young people by the pastor. During the evening Mr. Jay G. Mengel, of Renovo, sang ‘“The Holy City.”” He bas a sweet tenor voice of high register and sang with good effect. — There is a well organized movement on foot again to close the stores of Belle- fonte during the months of July and Au- gust at 6 o’clock every evening except on pay-days at the furnace, scale works, Mor- ris, McCalmont & Co. and Stevens’ lime operations and Saturday nights. The plan proved so successful last year that the mer- chants are signing the agreement very will- ingly. A few are not yet decided, hut it is probable that they will join the rest and thereby afford opportunity for all their em- ployees to have a little breathing spell dur- ing the hot summer evenings. ——This evening the Coleville band will give the first of what we hope will be aseries of summer concerts. They are now at work securing contributions to pay the expenses of concerts to be given weekly at different points in Bellefonte until the 1st of Sep- tember. The plan is to announce the place at which each evening’s concert will he given and the entire program will be ren- dered there, instead of dividing it up at various places as in past years. The con- tinnance of the concerts, of course, depends on the support the boys receive and we trust all who are able will volunteer some- thing toward securing to the town this de- lightful entertainment during the summer. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT THE HicH ScHOOL.—This has been an event- ful week in the history of the Bellefonte public schools. The young ladies and gentlemen who were graduated from the High school have been in a whirl of excite- ment ever since Sunday, so much so that hosts of their friends caught the contagion and gave over all their time to the com- mencement. From the earnest importunities of Rev. Shriner's baccalaureate sermon on Sunday evening to the brilliant presentation of the qualities that make for success in young men and women by William H. Keller Esq., of Lancaster, in his address last evening, the class of 1901 cannot but feel that they have reached the beginning of a new epoch in their lives and we hope that as they pass ‘‘from the life of school to the school of life’’ they will ever be mind- ful of the fair start and helpful suggestions they received during the various exercises. The junior declamatory ccntest, at Gar- man’s, on Wednesday night, crowded that house, as usual, with friends of those who were to contest for the Reynolds prizes. Every one of the declaimers did so well that we could scarce particularize without doing injustice to others. The decision of judges in awarding first prize to Miss Helen Crissman seemed to meet with the unanimous approval of the audience, for she recited ‘The Roman Valentine’’ su- perbly. For the second place it must have taken very close shading for the judges to decide whether Lee Adams, James Taylor or Miss Bertha Faxon was best, but her recitation of ‘‘Vashti’”’ was so gracefully done that the prize went to her, though the boys had acquitted themselves splendidly. Miss Helen Shaffer probably held the andience to the closest attention with her story of ‘The Night Run of the Overland,” but an unfortunate little slip, from which she recovered very gracefally, put her out of the winning class. William Brouse, Strohm Lose, Irvin Noll, Miss Net- tie Kern and Miss Kathryn Musser were all good. In fact the contest improves every year, both in interest and in the ex- cellence of the contestants. The judges were Col. Wilbur F. Reeder, Rev. Scott and Rev. Kerschner, of Centre Hall. Yesterday was graduation day. During the afternoon the class orations were deliv- ered according to the program published last week. The opera house was crowded and every one of the young speakers was applauded to the echo, because they were all deserving of it. In the evening William H. Keller Esq., of the class of ’84, delivered a very able ad- dress to the graduates. His theme was qualities that are essential for success in the lives of young men and women. It showed the deep thought and sober inter- est Mr. Keller had given the matter. And it also showed the friends at his old home here that there are excellent reasons for the rapid strides he is making to the fore at the Lancaster bar. After the address the diplomas and prizes were awarded by D. F. Fortney, president of the school board, and the committee of the alumni association reported on a per- manent organization. A meeting of the association had been held in the court house yesterday morning and it was then decided to give an annual reception to the graduating class. Next year it is to be given in the armory and will be made quite a brilliant affair. McCLELLAND-MORRISON-Quite unosten- tations, though none the less happy, was the wedding of Thomas B. McClelland and Miss Mary Morrison, on Saturday evening. It was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. Morrison, the bride’s parents, at Unionville, and only the immediate fami- lies were present. After Rev. W. H. Brown, of the Bellefonte Evangelical church, had pronounced the ceremony, a delightful wedding supper was served and the young couple were extended the most cordial greetings of all present. The groom is a son of William MecClel- land, of this place, and at present is em- ployed by M. W. Cowdrick, the contractor at Niagara Falls. He is a straight-forward young man and has lots of friends here who will wish him and his fair bride a long and happy life. Mrs. McClelland is a very charming and thoroughly capable woman. ———— AA eee A WARNING SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.— The mischievous fellows who have been amusing themselves by tearing up the garden on the J. I. DeLong property at Eagleville had better take this warning and desist. Such rascally acts, whether from pure deviltry or malice, should not be tolerated in any community, nor will such be the case at Eagleville. The perpetrators are warned to desist and if they do not they will be severely punished. Al i iin BURGLARS AT CURTIN’S.—An unsucoess- ful attempt was made to burglarize John Parker’s store at Curtin’s works last Friday night.

The horse frightened at the noise made in loading empty beer kegs on a wagon, and ran across the Diamond at break-neck speed. He turned up north High street and circ- led the court house, coming out on the south side and jumping into the grass plot there. The buggy hung up on the rail that surrounds it, but the horse galloped down past the fountain and on to Bishop street, where he was caught. Not a thing was broken but a piece of the shaft. Of course the little iron fence that surrounds the court house yard was twisted beyond repair. On the north side of the building some children were playing, but all got out of the road of the runaway except little Lena Boyer. She stood directly in ity path and, strange to say, the horse leaped clear over her, never leaving as much as a mark. ———— A rere.
