If there were any persons in Bellefonte who were at all skeptical about the work being done in the High school and they took the trouble to visit the room in Pet- riken hall and inspect the exhibit there displayed they could not help but be con- vinced that a good work is being done there. The exhibit is a most elaborate one, including the work done by the students in trigonometry, geometry, physics, book- keeping and penmanship, biology, botany, metallurgy, mathematics, natural history, ete. The exhibit completely fills one large ‘room and during the week hundreds of people visited the place and inspected the work displayed; and it is only fair to say that one and all were most agreeably sur- prised at what they saw there. ete -—Rev. L. L. Seiber, D. D., of Get- t ysburg, who recently conducted two weeks special services in the Lutheran church here, has been invited to return and will occupy the pulpit on Sunday, June 4th, both morning and evening.

The maid of honor was Miss Eleanor Ewing, a sister of the bride, and the hest man was Rohert I. Platter, of Wooster, O.

Many of the stores and business places were closed all day while all were closed in the afternoon. The rain of the afternoon interfered to a great extent with the carrying out of the program as planned by Gregg Post, No. 95. However the soldier dead were not left go unhonored as a large crowd braved the elements and went to the cemetery to participate in the beautiful custom of strewing flowers on the graves of those who have passed over the borderland. The parade formed in the Diamond and at 2 o'clock marched to the cemetery in the following order : Coleville band, Company B, speakers and others in carriages, Gregg Post, Logan Fire company. The Undines were out in their new uniforms but were not notified when the parade moved and consequently went hack to their house on Bishop street. About two hundred school children were algo ready to join the parade, but owing to the rain it was thought best not to take them out. Af the cemetery only the Post memorial services were read by commander W. H. Musser, after which the graves were dec- orated and then the crgwd adjourned to the court house, where a splendid address appropriate to the occasion was delivered by W. Harrison Walker Esq. Col. J. L. Spangler made a special address in memory of ex-Governor Curtin while James Shook brilliantly recited Lincoln’s address at Gettysburg. The exercises at the court house were interspersed with music by the band and singing by a select choir of eight persons. Rev. J. E. Morris, of the A. M. E. church, pronounced the bene- diction. On Sunday afternoon a detail of eight members of Gregg Post went to Meyer's cemetery, up Buffalo run, and held serv- ices for the dead buried there. Past com- mander Samuel B. Miller made the ad- dress after which all repaired to the Pres- hyterian church to listen to the sermon preached by Rev. E. K. Harnish from the text : ‘“Thanks he to God, who giveth us the victory.”’ Oren THE ACADEMY CENTENNIAL.--J ust two weeks intervene until the celebration of the Bellefonte Academy centennial. The Academy people are making preparations for a great big time and if the weather is favorable there is little doubt but that their anticipasions will be realized. The three principal speakers for the celebration will be Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Dr. George W. Atherton and Gen. James A. Beaver.: The addresses of the two first named will be along the lines of education, while Gen. Beaver’s address will be a hie- torical review of the institution. One of the pleasant features of = the cen- tennial will be the gold and white assem- bly to be held in the armory Friday even- ing, June 16th. For this event music will be furnished by the famous Greens- burg orchestra, while choice re- freshments will be served by Ceader’s. The admission to the armory on this oc- casion will be by ticket only and already the indications are that the number of ap- plicants for tickets will be far greater than the capacity of the building. Therefore if you want to make sure of a ticket put in your application at once to Edmund Blanchard, chairman of the assembly com- mittee. ——ece AAA ee. THE BELLEFONTE STEAM LAUNDRY CHANGES PROPRIETORS. — Last Saturday the deal was closed whereby Hon. John Noll purchased from J. Malcolm Laurie the Bellefonte steam laundry, located on south Water street. This is the oldest established and only steam laundry in the town. It was started about fifteen years ago and was conducted very smocessfully by Mr. Laurie the past ten or twelve years. Owing to his having moved to Winburne, and not being able to. give any personal | supervision to the plant was she reason of his selling out. Mr. Noll, the new propri- etor, is personally known to everybody in Bellefonte and this fact alone is assurance that the laundry will be conducted in the future in a thoroughly up-to-date manner, with fair treatment for all and satisfaction guaranteed. | dry will be under the managemént of Mr.. ; though the new proprietor will give part of his time in personally looking after the interests of his patrons. rr Ap lp eee. "To OPERATE BY ELECTRICITY. — The Mann Edge Tool company, of Mill Hall, bas had surveys and calculations made hy expert electrical engineers looking to the installation of dynamos for the purpose of driving the machinery of their plant by electricity. On the opposite side of the | creek from the factory a huge water wheel will be put in at as low a depth as possible in order to give it sufficient force to drive the large dynamos, which will be used to generate electricity. Several storage bat- teries will be put in to store any excess of the power. This method will be a saving of many thousands of dollars annually to the company, as it willdo away with an engineer and the large amount of fuel it re- quires fo feed the four large boilers. Each | departmeng will be operated by this new power in such a way that it can be closed down or operated independent of the other ones. It is also the intention of the com- pany to farnish light for both public and private use in Mill Hall. ei —— Benjamin Chapman, of Marsh Creek, was bitten on thehand by a rattlesnake, on Tuesday.

THE TALE OF A CAT.—About 11.3C o’clock Monday night the inmates of the bousehold of Mis. Geo. I. Potter, on east Linn stieet, were aroused by a noise which they believed emanated from a man in the house. The neighbors were aroused and the police telephoned for. In the mean- time Mr. John I. Potter and some of the neighbors began a still-hunt for the sup- posed robber. Several rooms were search- ed without revealing any traces of the midnight marauder. Finally they started for the parlor and on opening the door out ran a—no, not a man, but a strange cat, and the mystery of the night was thus dis- closed. It appears tbat sometime during the evening the cat had gone in through an open window, unobserved by any mem- ber of the family, and had evidently curled up in some comfortable place and gone to sleep so that it was not noticed when the house was locked up for the night. When the cat roused up and dis- covered its whereabouts it naturally began to make its escape and in so doing jumped on the piano and ran across the keys and it was the wierd music thus produced that aroused the household tothe belief that there was a robber in their midst.
