The weather was fine all week and the marked inclination of the people of Bellefonte to take a more | active interest in our public *ohgols | was evidenced in many ways. Beginning with the baccalaureate” ser- mon in St. John’s Episcopal church Sun- day evening, an account of which appears in another column of this issue, the twenty- ‘one young ladies and gentlemen in this year’s graduating class have occupied = prominent position in the public eye of Bellefoute. Only once have they had to relinquish the seats of honor and that was Monday evening, when the Juniors held their oratorical contest. All of the members of the class have had a splendid preliminary training and as school days for some of them are over now ‘the WATCHMAN hopes that their after life will he fraught with as much of joy and | pleasures as have been their years in the public schools of Bellefonte. THE JUNIOR CONTEST. The Juniors of the High school competed for the Reynolds oratorical prizes last Mon- day evening and, as usual, there was a large crowd of spectators in Petriken hall to hear them. Every number was so admirably delivered that the judges : John H. Friz- zell, of State College ; Rev. A. C. Lathrop, of Milesburg, and W. P. Wharton, of the Academy, found no little difficulty in awarding the prizes. In their opinion Charles Donachy, whose subject was ‘‘The Vengeance of the Flag,’ had excelled, while Miss Laura C. Faxon deserved second honors for her effective delivery of *‘Ole Mistis.”’ The prizes of $10 and $5 in gold are given by Col. W. Fred Reynolds and have bad the effect of greatly stimulating the forensic attainments of the scholars in the High school. was of the highest character and reflects great credit upon those who participated in it. ig The complete program was as follows : Helen G.

That State will find her opponents worthy of her is assured. That she can make a creditable showing is just as certain. All that is needed is that the men who ha ve ability in this line shall do their part. for the following year are between State | THE HosPITAL NEEDS— Although many of the people of the community have been most generous to the hospital yet it is not nearly furnished and there are several very necessary articles needed before the house is in perfect running order. For instance there are only two table cloths in the institution,so you can imagine as the superintendent says ‘‘it is very hard to keep the table as neat as it ought to be kept.”’ Then there is not a big kettle or stew pan about the place in which to make soups or broths. The easy chairs are limited to two uncomfortable rockers and the nurses, as well as the convalescents, ought to be provided with comfortable chairs. A mop to clean the floors; pieces of old carpet for the kitchen and the outside doors; a second-hand stove for the laundry; screens for the doors and windows and fruit and vegetables are what are needed ‘most just now. During the week the following articles were received at the hospital. Mrs. Fred Krumrine, State College, 4 cups of jelly. Miss Caroline Orvis, wringer and two tubs. Mrs. John Walker, 225 feet of wire clothes line, Mrs. Harvey Yarrington, 36 lbs. of feathers. Mrs. Rose Shortlidge, rocking chair. Mrs. Amos Mullen, rolling pin. Mrs, Meek, skillet. Mrs. John Olewine, 34 doz. tablespoons, 34 doz. glasses jelly. Mrs. J. K. McFarlane, 2 quarts apple butter, 1 quart strawberry preserves, 1 quart peach but ter, 14 gallon butter milk. ll nnn MEMORIAL DAY IN BELLEFONTE.— Gregg post No 95, G. A.

The street door was unlocked, then a drawer in which the key to the money drawer was kept was opened and the key taken out. With it the money drawer was unlocked and the two keys for the safe tak- en out. Then the safe was opened and the money taken out. This done the burglar went back and put everything away just like he had found it, locked the ontside door and went away. AN UNUSUAL S1GHT.—Passengers on the early morning train over the B.
