was the fore-runner of a slight stroke of
paralysis which affected his entire side.
While his condition was quite serious for a
few days he had recovered sufficiently to
be up for a little while yesterday.
State's Forty-Fourth Annual Com-
mencement,
It is scarcely ‘within the niemory ot the
oldest attendant that such weather as fav-
ored the forty-fourth annual | commence-
ment exercises at The Pennsylvania State
College has been equalled. From the bac:
calaureate on Sunday until the last good-
| by had been said, by the class of 1904 on.
Wednesday bardly a cloud flecked the per-
fect blue of the heavens. The usual Sun-
day afternoon thunder shower even failed
to materialize, leaving the week as near/
ideal as conld be imagined. :
Though State graduated the largest class
ever sent out on Wednesday and another
of the series of magnificent new buildings
that is being erected was thrown open the
attendance was not quite as large as that
of last year. And the question arose in
our mind as to whether the cause might
not he traced to the business depression ;
especially as being accountable for the
small number of old students who return-
ed to their Alma Mater. By this we would
not have you infer that there was any ap-
preciable falling off in the attendance, but
inasmuch as the last decade has been one
of monstrous strides at State when the per-
centage of increase is not maintained there
is a natural inquiry as to the cause. ;
BACCALAUREATE SUNDAY.
Baccalaureate Sunday held far more of
interest this year than ever before for stu-
dent and visitor. For in addition to the
usual sermon in the Schwab auditorium in
the morning at 10:30, when the Rev. Dr.
Lawrence M. Colfelt, of Philadelphia,
preached to the class of 1904, there was a
sacred concert in the evening and a song
service on the campus.
ON MONDAY.
Before the first exercises of Monday were
begun many more visitors had joined the
crowd of strangers who had arrived on Sat-
urday and Sunday and by two o’clock,
when the graduating class held their class
day exercises on the front campus the
grounds were alive with earnest, proud
parents and happy sisters and sweethearts
of the students. The class of 1904 carried
out their interesting program and planted
the vine that is hoped will bea living
memorial of their last days at State.
Immediately after these exercises the
dual field sports between the Carlisle In-
dians and the blue and white athletes
took place on Beaver field. The grand
stand, bleachers and side lines were crowd-
ed with interesting spectators to cheer the
contestants in the thirteen events that were
scheduled. The points were so evenly
carried that it remained for the very last
one to decide the meet and when Arnold of
State captured second place in the 220 yds
dash the great tension of suspense was re-
leased and a mighty cheer went up when it
was announced that the home athletes had
scored 54 points to 50 for the visitors.
Especially in the running events were the
finishes exciting. Several college records
were broken, notably among them being
Saunder’s pole vault of 10ft 93 inches.
In the evening the Junior orators, six in
nomber, held their contest in the auditori-
um: They spoke as follows : Richard |’
De C. Barclay, of Philadelphia, on ‘‘The
Work of the Sci entist ;” J. J. Morgan; of
.Sca ndia, on “The Investment of a Life i
Paul M. Rainey, of Laceyville, on ‘‘The
Menace to American Citizenship ;’? Wil-
liam B. Hoke, new Cumberland, on ‘‘The
New Social Ideal ;’” Reuben H. H. Augnst,
Pine Grove, on “The Evils of Our Labor
System ;’’ George L. Christman, of Read-
ing, on ‘THe Industrial Statesman.’’ All
of the orations were well thought ont and
prepared, but there seemed to be an ab-
sence of the argumentative and conviction |
that is carried by forceful delivery. In
truth Mr. Rainey was about the only one
of the speakers who presented his theme in
a manner oratorical, thus making the find-
ing of the judges quite easy and their an-'
nouncement that he had won met with
popular favor. Mr. Anges was given hon-
orable mention.
TUESDAY'S PROGRAM.
The exercises on Tuesday opened with
an address before the Phi Kappa Phi, the
honor society, by Prof. John F. Crowell,
Ph. D., expert on economics in the U. 8.
Department of Commerce. He spoke to a
small, thongh appreciative audience in the
chapel. His subject was ‘‘Maritime Ex-
pansion’’ and proved a very interesting as
well as a highly instructive discourse on
the opening of new fields of industry
through the possible supremacy of Ameri-
oan shipping interests. :
Aft noon the Alumni luncheon was serve
ed in the armory. Over five hundred cov-
ers were laid and alter the various courses |
were served by caterer Harrison, Gen.
Beaver, who is the permanent toastmaster,
called the diners to listen to very happy
| time hoth buildings
ress with a a rush and judging trom the man-
i:{.ner in rwhich they ‘made Russians desert
their artillery they must’ be rashin’ yet.
The Red Cross ambulance, hat was drag- |
ged about by a jolly, old mule thas; evi-
on - ‘more’ strennosity than Roosevelt]
“ever dared show’ on San Juan hill,” ‘was |
| blpe-eyed dear little 4 sear old danghter
kept “busy picking 9p the wounded
soldiers. ; i
_ The day’s “interesting prorat ‘was
brought to a close by .the reproduction of
*“The House of Trouble,”’ the play in
which the Thespians scored such a sucoess
during their spring tour.
COMMENCEMENT DAY.
There were just seventy-five members in
the class of 1904 who having completed
their course were gradnated and decorated
with the degree of B. S. on Wednesday
morning. The exercises were held in the
spacious new auditorium which seems. to
grow in beanty and impressiveness every
day.
The orators of the class were Thomas J.
Bryson, of West Leisenring, who spoke on
‘‘Some Tendencies in Technical Educa- |
tion ;’’ Mahlon Jacob Rentschler, of Cen-
terport, on ‘‘The Triumph of Law; C.
S. Bomberger, of Swatara Station, ‘‘De-
cision of Character ;’’ Peter J. Morrissey,
of Franklin, on ‘‘Liberty and Corpora-
tions” and John D. Elder, of Elder’s
Ridge, ‘‘What Shall be Done with the
Turk’’ concluding with the valedictory
which was a masterpiece of effectiveness
and beauty.
The commencement address was deliver-
ed by the Rev. William Elliott Griffis, of
Ithaca, N. Y., and was on the spirit and
characteristics of the Japanese.
At. its conclusion Mr. Robert Wallace
Wray, for the class of 1904, formally pre-
sented the fine tower clock to the College.
It was received on behalf of the Board of
Trustees by Gen. Beaver. The clock is
something that the College has always
stood in need of. The idea of presenting
it was conceived by some of the members
of 1904 in their Sophomore year and ever
since that time they had been saving their
‘‘damage’’ fund until it finally reached
the $800 required to pay for the gift. The
clock is of the best workmanship and is so
constructed as to have four dials in the
tower of old Main as well as bells that ring
simultaneously the hour and kalf-hour in
all of the class rooms and halls. The dials
are lighted by night and are 5ft. 6in. in di-
ameter ; on each one of them being em-
blazoned the memorial to the class of 1904.
The gift is one that will prove a more con-
stant reminder of the class shat was gradu-
ated cn Wednesday than almost anything
else that could be done at State College.
The last exercise of the morning was the
announcement of honors and prizes as fol-
lows :
First Honors: Thomas Junk Bryson,
Paul Olin Noble, John Franklin Tritle.
Second Honors: Christian Smith Bom-
berger, William Jenkins Dorworth, Mau-
rice Leland Gray, John Paul Koftcamp,
Harty Scott Lightcap, Robert Harvey
Lyons, Norman Greenawalt Miller, Earle
Bertram Norris, Alvin Kuhns Risser, Le-
roy Eben Shaner, Charles Henry Swanger.
+The John W. White fellowship was
awarded to John P, Kottcamp ; the medal
to John F. Tritle ; the Senior scholarship
to Wm. B. Hoke, the Agriculture prize to
A. K. Risser and the McAllister prize to R.
B. Gerhardt.
The surprise of the day was the confer- |
ring of the degree of Doctor of Science ou |
Prof. Wm. A. Buckhout and to no one was
it more of a surprise than to the worthy
recipient himself. Assistant professor Tut-
tle was raised to a full professorship.
At 3 o’clock Wednesday aftérnoon Mr.
Samuel Craig Huston, of Philadelphia, on
behalf of Mr. Joseph M. Huston, presented
to the College the splendid replica of
George Gray Barnard’s ‘*“Hewer’’ which at-
tracted so much attention in the foyer of
the ‘auditorium:' Tt is a copy ofvone’ of
Barnard’s masterpieces and is a most fitting
ornament for the most magnificent; build-
ing on the grounds, :
During the afternoon those of the com-
mencement guests who remained for the
farewell reception for the Seniors in the
armory in a, evening were entertained hy
a base hall game between: the State team
and the Williamsport State :Leaguers in
which the Jasige won by the core of 5 to 3.
~ While the Carnegie library is completed |
and the first wing of the new Agricul-
tural building ready for occupancy neither
building was dedicated during the week
because of the fact that Mr. Andrew
Carnegie and other distinguished gentle-
men whose attendance is desired, conld
not find it convenient to be at the College
just at this time. These events will likely
be the occasion of a notable gathering at
the institution in the early fall at which
will be properly
described. ig

While the delegates and Alumni were
meeting to elect trustees the exhibition

spectacular, more so than ever hefore. For

© ALITTLE GIRL DROWNED.—On Friday
afternoon another of those ‘distressing ac-

grief to those ‘most directly affected,” oc-
curred in this place. ;

live on Willowbank street, near there; and
she was playing along the water. No’ one
saw the accident but one of George Waite’s
little boys who ran to give the. alarm. By
the time any one responded to his call,
‘however, thie little body had been carried
clear out of sight ‘by the ‘relentless waters
ed. Finally it was discovered in the main
stream just above the falls: near : this office
and Ed Gehret plunged ‘to the rescue.
She was carried ont to shore and Dr. M

Immediately upon his arrival eysteriatio
work of resuscitation was begun and later
Dr. Jobn Sebring arrived to assist. For
an hour they worked, but all to no par-
pose for the last spark of life had been
drowned out and could not be broght
back.
Then the little body was taker: to the
parental home on Willowbank street where
to the distress of a mother sick almost to

just recovering from typhoid fever was
added this most poignant sorrow.

A BAD DAGo.—Dominic Constance, the
Hungarian who served a term in jail for
making drunken advances to a daughter of
David Rothrock, of Buffalo Run, was put
behind the bars again on Monday, charged
He was released from jail on
April 24th. The following night Mr.
Rothrock’s large farm barn was burned to
the ground, with all of its contents. Suspic-
ion pointed to Constance as the incendiary
but nothing definite could be fastened on
him.
On Sunday night John Grove was driv-
ing by Rothrock’s home on his way
to call a doctor and saw a bright flame sud -
denly. illuminate the interior of an ou$
kitchen, which = adjoins the residence.
At the same time he heard the noise of ‘a
man running from the building, who climb-
ed a fence and disappeared in the darkness.
Grove quickly aroused the Rothrock family,
who were fast asleep, and by hard work
the fire was extinguished and the building
saved. An examination showed that the con.
tents of an oil can were emptied on a couch
and the match was applied to it as Grove
was approaching on the road.
On Mondar Mr. Rothrock came to town
and bad a warrant issued for Constance,

inches in length, and fit the shoes. This,
with other evidence, satisfies the authori-

THE SHAFFER-HAZEL REUNION.— The
second annual reunion of the Shaffer and
Hazel families, which was held at Hecla
park, on Wednesday, demonstrates that the
organization formed at Penns Cave last year
will likely grow to be.oue of the: large and
impertant annual gatherings of the county.
There wefe at least five hundred people on
the grounds and the day was very pleasant-
ly spent in renewing ‘old family ties and
discovering new ones.
“At the business session. of the reunion as-
sociation Miss Allison, ‘as chairman, made
the report for the historical committee, af-
ter former sheriff B. F. Shaffer, of Nittany,

transact some business there and upon his
arrival at the hotel complained of feeling
unwell. Not regarding his condition as
serious he retired without consulting a
physician and in the morning was unable
to get up.
Dr. Armstrong, who was called to his
bedside, discovered that he was on the

CONGRATULATIONS, :
Supt. F. H. Thomas,
‘Central R. R:"may well be proud of the
following article which appears in a recent
issue of the New York News Bureau and re-
flecta considerable credit on his economic)
and judicious [management of the rail-toad
under his supervision. ;
The thirteenth annual Topart of “the,
‘Bellefonte Central Railroad is abou
complete a publication of its kind as it has
ever been the ‘pleasure of the reau ‘to read.
Details of the operations f the ‘road are
so thoroughly covered in the report that
the stockholder is enabled, at a glance, to
know, not only the exact status of the
property in which he is interested, but al-
go the manner in which practically, every
dollar of expense was diverted, In truth
he is ‘made as ‘fully acquainted with the
current improvements and progress of the
road and she condition of itd rolling stock
and motive power as if he had covered the
ground by.a personal -inspegtion.
While it would be impossible for a larger
corporation to go so ‘largely into intricate
details, the little Bellefonte: ‘report should:
serve as an object lesson to ather corpora-
tions who exist by the su criptions “of
their shareholders but deny'the latter all
but the most meager infétmation, ap-
parently regarding them asa detriment
rather than as the foundation for the up-
building of the company, and to whom they
are compelled to turn in days of trouble or
embarrassment.
The Bellefonte Central opéiates between
Bellefonte and Pine Grove Mille, Pa. The
capitalization is $500.000, par $50. No
dividends have ever heen paifl but it is in-
timated that a dishursement may be made
this year.
