~The WATCHMAN last week stated
that Rev. C.T. Aiken, of Pine Grove Mills,
would preach a trial sermon in the Belle-
fonte Lutheran church, last Sunday. Rev.
Aiken did preach for the Lutheran congre-
gation, but it was not a trial sermon as he
bas no intention of leaving his present con-
genial surroundings and the writer of the
item in last week’s paper was misinformed
in that one respect, while the Lutheran
congregation of Pine Grove Mills is to be
congratulated on having so staunch and
faithful a pastor. The information in re-
gard to the Revs. Rearick was likewise
incorrect.

Li1CENSE COURT.—Tuesday was license
court when for the first time Judge Ellis
L. Orvis heard the petitions of the forty-
seven applicants for permission to sell
liquor and heer, eight more men than have
had that privilege the past year. Remon-
strances were presented against all the
applicants for a wholesale license in both
Bellefonte and Snow Shoe township. The
court heard the petitions and remon-
strances, with brief statements by counsel
and then aunounced that he would not
hand down a decision in any case until he
could dispose of all at one time, which he
would do on or ahout the 15th.
In a general talk to the applicants Judge
Orvis said that at this time he had no new
rules to lay down, though he might bave
a few when he handed down his decisions.
But to all those who might be granted a
license he wanted to say that they must
keep a good house, one not only necessary
but which will meet the requirements of
the traveling public; and that at all times
must they keep within the requirements
of the law and the rules laid down by the
court. That be intended having special
inquiry made several times during the
year as to how places were being conduct-
ed and if any violation was reported it
would mean the immediate revoking of the
license.
* The Judge further stated it had come to
his notice that applicants had been ap-
proached by certain attorneys who sought
their business on the allegation that they
bad a ‘‘pull with the court,” aud, while
he was friendly with every attorney at the
bar and hoped to always continue so, he
wanted it distinctly understood that he
could not be influenced by any individual
lawyer and tbat any license he would
grant would be granted solely on the
merits of the case ard his own responsi-
bility.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.—On Monday
evening, March 6th, the members and
friends of the Baptist church of Milesburg
gave their pastor, Rev. A. C. Lathrop and
family a very pleasant surprise hy drop-
ping in on them without previous notice.
They came hearing mysterious looking
packages—Ilarge and small, until the tables
seemed to groan beneath their weight of
provisions and useful things for the home.
The parsonage was soon well ‘filled with a
loyal and appreciative people, who gather-
ed in honor of their pastor’s birthday. As
soon as the people were in and seated (or
standing) pastor Lathrop was taken in
charge by several of his male members who
marched him to the parlor door-way, where
Mr. Henry Heaton, on behalf of the mem-
bers and friends of the church, in a neat
presentation speech gave the greetings of
the people and presented the pastor with a
beautiful and fine pulpit suit of clothes.
thanked his people for their manifest kind-
ness and love. The evening was passed
all too soon in social ways, innocent games
and in partaking of the dainty refreshments
which the ladies served. It was an occ-
casion long to be remembered by both pas-
tor and people and is proof of the hearty
| co-operative spirit that prevails in their
' church work.

THE DAIRYMEN ARE ORGANIZED. —
The dairymen of Bellefonte have formed
an organization, taking for its name, The
Dairymen Protective Association. They
have formed this for the purpose of pro-
tecting one another against bad accounts.
As is known the profit on one quart of
milk is very small and action on their part
was neccessary. By the forming of an organ-
ization, it will be impossible to purchase
from any other dairyman, until previous
accounts have been arranged, as is shown hy
the following by-law :
Resolved—That we, as members of this organ=
ization, will refuse to serve milk to any patron, if
said patron isindebted to any other member of
this organization.
>
Must ATTEND ScHOOL.—The Bellefonte
School Board has taken decisive action in
regard to parents who do not send their
children to school. A test is being made
of some twenty families in town who keep’
children away. Notice was served upon
every one the past week by officer Mont-
gomery that unless they send their children
to school, the compulsory law would be
enforced regardless of the consequences.
That means that they will be arrested with
‘the liability of a fine and imprisonment.
Since the small-pox epidemic bas disappear-
ed there is no occasion for pupils remain-
ing at home. 3

CoLLEGE Boys IN CoMEDY.—A large
and decidedly fashionable audience greeted
the Thespians, the dramatic organization
of the students of The Pennsylvania State
College, at Gaiman’s, Monday evening.
Their play this year is the clever comedy
“The Bomerang’’ and they presented it in
a manner that was more than pleasing. As
compared with the work of former years
the cast in its entirety was probably nos as
strong as those presenting ‘‘A Night Off’?
or ‘“The House of Trouble,”” but Messrs.
Heckathorne, Heinrich, Fitzsimmons and
Johnson formed a quartet of exceptionally
clever amateurs.
The College orchestra and quartet gave
a musical turn to the evening’s entertain-
ment that added much to the life of the
play.
We understand that the ladies guild of
St. John’s Episcopal church realized $145
as their share of the proceeds.

eration. Willard Spenser has never as yet
written an unsuccessful opera. His “Lis-

ly “turning ‘em away” all along the line,
Spenser has a style that is purely Spenser.
Tn fact, in “Miss Bob White’’ there is not
a number that is not entirely Spenser-
esque. It has always been a question
which of the popular music should be
identified with the, opera. For, as ‘Love
Comes Like a SummerSigh’’ and ‘‘Dream-
ing of Love,”’ were the master bits of the
‘Little Tycoon?’ and *‘Princess’ Bonpie’’
respectively, so everyone thought ‘The
Mystery of Love’’ would be the crowning
triumph of ‘Miss Bob White,’’ but the
minuet of the Colonial Dames, the “Song
of the Dish-pan,’”’ and “May We Come a-
Wooing’ have so crowded the aforesaid
that one now speaks of the quartette of suc-
cesses in conjunction with the latest Spen-
ser opera, which contains all the merit and
brilliancy he displayed in his previous ef-
forts, and is emphasized by the clean and
wholesome spirit so pronounced in all this
author's works.

PHILIPS—BOLGER. — Charles Reuben
Philips, of Tunpelton, W. Va., and Miss
Ethel Josephine Bolger, daughter of Mr.
aud Mis. A. L. Boiger, of Philipsburg, were
married at the home of the bride's
parents, Monday afternoon. The wed-
ding was a very quiet one, the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. George D.
Pennepacker, being witnessed by only
the immediate friends of the contracting
parties. The groom is a graduate of
State College and is now employed as a
mining engineer at Tunnelton, where the
young couple will go to housekeeping on
their return from a two weeks honeymoon
trip west.

—Miss Mary Snyder is off on her an-
nual trip to New York to look up and se-
cure her spring millinery. It is needless
to remark that when she returns the
women folk hereabouts will have opportan-
ity of exhibiting the very latest styles in
head wear. There are but few in this
neck o’ woods who are as conscientious in
their efforts to furnish their customers with
only the latest, as is Miss Snyder.

——Owing to the large number of cases
