This is a day which has been made one of annual vh=ervance hy the public schouls of Bellefonte and par- ents are urged to take advantage of the day to visit the schools and see for themselves just what is being done ; and more than that, see the overcrowded condition of some of the rooms. AX UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR—For the past eighteen months or more E. T. Roan, the grocer who occupies the Brown building on the corner of Bishop and Allegheny streets, bas been systematically robbed of groceries which be claims would foot up an average of from thirty to forty dollars per month. So persistently was the robbing done that there was apparently no let up to it and yet so cunning and wary was the thief that watch as be would Mr. Roan was never able to catch the thief or even find any trace of how he gained entrance to the store and made exit therefrom. In fact he had reached that point when he held his own clerks under euspicion as he felt sure that the robber must gain entrance by having a key to one of the outer doors in his posses- sion, Sach was the condition of affairs when last Friday evening Mr. Roan’s clerks, Thomas Williams and William Hunsinger, volunteered to keep an all night watch for the thief. They waited with what patience they could until it began to look as if their all night vigil would be in vain. Finally, about 4:20 o'clock Saturday morning a noise in the cellar apprised them of the presence of some one. Very quietly they awaited the approach of ;the intruder and were perfectly dumbfounded when they recognized the man to be none other than Edward Brown Jr., the landlord of the building. He carried two good sized baskets which he at once began to fill with provisions of various kinds and groceries. Hastings and Huosinger suddenly con- fronted Brown and demanded his surrender and he was too astounded at thus being caught red-handed in the act to offer any resistance or make even an attempt to escape. Policeman William Beezer was sammoned and Brown was taken to jail. Ao investigation Saturday morning dis- closed the fact that he had gained entrance to the store by crawling through a small hole in the front cellar wall which he evidently bad kept cunningly closed op daring the day time so that it had never heen die- covered. On Saturday Brown was released on bail and the same day Charles Brown was placed under arrest for receiving stolen goods as the fact developed that much of the stuff stolen by Edward was first taken to Charles’ home where it was kept secreted for a time until all danger of a search aud ultimate discovery was past. Charles Brown was aleo admitted to bail for a hearing or trial at court. The affair is one of the most anfortunate aud deplorable ever unearthed in this place. For a number of years Mr. Brown wasa more or less prominent business man and stood well in the estimation of the people of the town. His family are still highly respected aud why he should permit him- self to fall to such a depth is inexplicable. While it is bard to condone the crime of the wau, bis family certainly deserve the sympathy of all. em LET EVERYBODY ATTEND.—Every per son in Bellefonte and vicinity who is inter: ested in the public schools should attend the Friday evening meeting of the Round Table conference of superintendents avd principals of Central Paunsylvavia which meets here next Friday and Saturday. There will he two talks and a discussion on manual training, a subject which is just now engaging the attention of educators all over the country. Many superintendents and principals of the district have notified Supt. Meyer that they will attend and with a good attendance assured the meet- ing of the conference cannot help but be interesting. The district is composed of the conuties of B'air, Clearfield, Centre, Mifilin, Huoutingdon, Union, Lycoming and Clinton. eis MovING PICTURES. — Hadley’s moving pictures will appear at Garman’s Friday evening, March 30th, under the auspices of Gregg Post, No. 95, and for the benedt of the soldiers monument fund.

BELL—LOUDEN. —-A wedding in which many Bellefonters and Centre countians will be interested was that, on Saturday afternoon, of Calvin Earl Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bell, formerly of this place bat now of Huntingdon where Mr. Bell is instructor in the trades school in the Penn. sylvania industrial reformatory, and Miss Lalu Marion Louden, of San Francisco. The ceremony, which took placeas 1:30 o'clock at the Bell home on Penn street, was performed by Rev. J. Harper Black, assisted by Rev. D. E. Masters. Ahout seventy-five guests were present. An in- teresting feature of the ceremony was the use of the same ring with which the par- ents of the bride sealed their matrimonial vows io San Francisco years ago. There was just a tinge of romance con- nected with this wedding. The bride was born in San Francisco where she lived uotil the death of her mother some three years or more ago when she came eact to make her home with her uncle and aant, Prof. and Mrs. J. H. Likens, of Huntingdon. It was whileshe was a student in the Hunt. ingdon High school that an intimate friend- ship sprang up between her and young Bell. Last fall business called the girl to her home on the Pacific coast, but a con- stant correspondence was kept up between the two young people with the result thata proposal of marriage was made which was premptly accepted by letter and on the last day of Feb. the bride-eiect left San Fran- cisco and traveled alone aorcss the continent over three thousand miles to wed the man of her choice, Saturday’s wedding, there- fore, being the happy culmination.

Patton, of the reformatory, was formally announced.
