' LINCOLN DAY AT STATE COLLEGE.—
Last Friday, February 12, Lincoln Day,
was fittingly observed at State College
with exercises appropriate to the occasion,
the first time in the history of the College.
And so successful were they that President
Atherton announced that it was his hope
that hereafter Lincoln Day would always be
observed ab the College. A special train,
leaving here at 9 o'clock, conveyed a large
party of Bellefonters to the College. In
the party were former Senator Patton, of
Michigan, the orator of the day; Senator
A. E. Patton, of Carwensville, and his son,
H. J. Patton; Gen. James A. Beaver,
Judge John G. Love, Rev. Ambrose

Kepler, Pine Grove Mills; James H. Pot-
ter, A. C. Mingle, M. I. Gardaer, Thomas
Beaver, and others, ingluding a number of
ladies. The party was met at the train
by President Atherton and the faculty and
after a cordial greeting they were escorted
-| to the beautiful and commodious Schwab
auditorium where the college students
had already assembled. The visitors took
seats on the platform.
President Atherton presided and after
an invocation hy Prof. Gill the Lord’s
prayer was chanted by a large student
choir of male voices. The anthem ‘‘To
Thee, Oh Country Great and Free,” was
also sung by the choir, after which, in a
few appropriate words, Gen. Beaver intro-
duced the distinguished orator of the day,
Senator John Patton, of Grand Rapids,
Michigan. Senator Patton received a warm
greeting and. his address, which was elo-
‘quent and scholarly, was well received.
His subject was’ of course ‘‘Abraliam
Lincoln'’ and the speaker paid a splendid
tribute to this matchless American, one
of the greatest, if not the greatest, man
this country has ever produced.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic .was
sung with spirit after which Wade H.
Barnes, of the Senior class, delivered an
eloguent addiess on ‘‘Lincoln the Man.”
This was followed by another student, John
C. Elder, on ‘Lincoln the President.”
The exercises were brought to-a close by
the singing of America.

THE LENTEN SEASON.—Formal an-
nouucement of the approach of Lent was
made in all Catliolic churches Sunday by the
reading of the Bishop’sannual proclamation
concerning the manner of observing the
lenten season. Ash Wedpesday, this week,
was the beginniug of Lent, and the regula-
tions for the observance of the solemm sea-
son do not differ materially from those of
other years.
Throughout the entire Lenten period the
services in the Catholic churches are of uu-
usual solemnity. The first day of Lent,
Ash Wednesday, is marked by ‘ceremonies
of a very solemn: nature. On that day,
when the public penance was in force in
the church, the guilty presented them-
selves at the altar to avow their faults and
to receive ashes on their heads. After the
abolition of public penance, the church,
not wishing to deprive her children of the
great teachings, continued in the pious cere-
mony of laying them on the brows of the
faithful at the beginning of Lent. The
priests make a sign of the cross on the fore-
heads of the penitent with ashes secured
from the burning of palms remaining from
‘Palm Sunday of the year before.
Certain days of Lent are observed with
.more ceremony than others. Among the
nnmber are the first Sunday in Lens, bet-
ter known as the Sunday of the Torches;
fourth Sanday in Lent, ealled Laetre Sun-
day ; Passion Sunday; Feast of the Annan-
ciation, March 25; Palm Sunday, March 27;
Holy Thursday, March 31; Good Friday,
April 1; Easter, April 3.

cratic comfort and said that the coldest it has
‘been out there has been 10° below. Most of the

coats, though the changes are so sudden that
they rarely venture far from home in that un-
dressed sondition. Mr. Strunk says that “he has

* LINGLE—WOODRUFF. — Many of the
WATCHMAN'S readers remember well Mr.
John M. Lingle, of Milesburg, who went
South a few years ago and wil! join us in
congratulations on his marriage, which
took place in Shreveport, La., on February

event as follows :
There was an interesting marriage at the
First Methodist church this afternoon,
where a large congregation had gathered to
witness the ceremony. No cards, but ver-
bal invitations were responded to by the
nuwerous admirers of the couple. The
ushers were Messrs. T. Fletcher Bell and
Sam Fullilove, who politely seated the
guests. Mr. Ernest Reams presided over
the pipe organ, giving a beautiful prelude
before striking the grand old wedding
march. The bride, Mrs. Sudie J. Wood-
ruff, a charming voung widow, and Mr.
John M. Lingle were the happy couple. The
bride’s uncle, Rev. R. W. Thompson, of
Dallas, Tex.,who had officiated at the mar-
riage of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
McFarlin, and also at the marriage of her
sister, Mrs. D. I. Porter, was present to
perform the same service for another mem-
ber of the family, giving more pleasure by
his visi. The bride looked lovely in a
traveling gown of cadet blue zibeline trim-
med in silk braid and lace and Persian
buttons. The hat was stylish and becom-
ing of plush and chenille to correspond in
color to the dress.
~ Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and
Mrs. Lingle left for a two weeks’ visit to
the bride’s mother. Mrs. Mary B. McFar-
lin, at Kansas City, Mo., and to visit oth-
er friends at Carrolton,Mo. Returning,they

sponsible position at the Avenue drug store

mony at the church the drug store was
