THE STATE COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. |
—The forty-sixth annual commencement
of the Pennsylvania State College was held
this week and proved a most successfal al-
fair, though only a few of the old grado.
ates were back to visit their Alma Mater
and participate in the exercises and gayeties
of th: week. The t was be-
gun informally on Saturday evening when
the college orchestra and glee club gave a
concert in the auditorium.
Sunday morning the auditorium wae
crowded to hear the baccalaureate sermon
preached by Rev. William Patterson, D.
D., of Philadelphia. It was a masterful
effort and was listened to with the closest
attention by all present.
Monday afternoon the Senior class exer-
cises were held at 2 o'clock and at 3
o'clock the inter-class track and field meet
tock place. While the sports were very
interesting they were not as much so as
b ad there been a dual meet between State
and some other college and au effort is al-
ready being made to arrange for sucha
meet next year.

contest was held in the auditorium. There
were six contestants and the way they
handled their subjects showed considera-
ble thought and study. The judges award-
ed the prize to John Piper Smith, of Yel
low Creek, with honorable mention for H.
8 towig, of Williamsport.
Tuesday morning quite a number of vis-
itors went to the College, although there
was very little going on of interest to the
outsider. The annual meeting of the Al-
umoi association, the board of trustees and
the Phi Kappi Phi fraternity were held in
the morning and in the afternoon the dele-

dience assembled in the auditorium to see

sociation, in their clever rendition of the
play, “Facing the Music.” After the play
a number of the fraternities held receptions
and dances.
Wednesday was really the big day of all,
when the graduating exercises were held in
the morning at 10 o'clock. The new audi-
torinm was well filled with a representa-
tive crowd. Owing to the fact that the
condition of Dr. Atherton’s health was
such as to prevent him from taking an act-
ive part in the commencement exeroises,
Prof. W. A. Backhout presided. The class
oratois were Arthur Lee Ferver, Charles
David Flickinger, Charles Franklin Noll,
Henry Harrison Hollinger and Oscar Clin-
ton Hayes, the valedictorian. Too much
praise cannot be given she latter for the
masterfal way in which he handled bie
subject, “The Awakening of the Civic Con-
science.” He was unusually forcefal and
direct and his oration was loudly applaud.
ed.

ed hy Frank Pierrepont Graves, Ph. D.
LL D., of Columbia, Mo. His subject was

the address was ove of the most olever and
brilliant ever heard at the College. The
morning's exercises closed with the confer-
ring ol degrees and awarding of prizes,
which was done by President George W.
Atherton and Gen. James A. Beaver,
president of the board of trustees; the pre-
sentation of commissions to the new cadet
officers and the transfer of the library keys
to the president of the incoming Senior
class.
In the afternoon one of the biggest crowds
ever assembled on Beaver field gathered
there to witness the commencement ball
game between State and Villa Nova. It
proved an interesting contest from start to
finish and was won by State by the score of
6to4. Immediately after the game Harry
D. Mason, third baseman, was elected cap-
taid for the State team of 1907. The com-
mencement exercises closed Wednesday

CurTIN POSTOFFICE ROBBED BY BELLE:
roNTE YoUTHS.—Some time after mid-
night Wednesday night the postoffice and
store of Morrison & Glenn, at Curtin, was
broken into and robbed, the postoffice be-
ing kept in the store. The robbers gaived
entrance by cutting the glass out of the
front door then reaching through and
pushing back the bolt. They succeeded
in opening the safe by working the combi-
nation and got away with over $300 in
cash and all the stamps in the safe. In
addition a number of pocket knives, some
tobacco and cigars and some other stuff
were taken from the store. The robbers
made their escape without being detected.
When the robbery was discovered this
morning suspicion fell on two Bellefonte
youths, Jerome Dale and Henry Gordon,
who bad been seen at Curtin last evening.
It was also learned that two young men
answering their description bad been seen
making their way down Bald Eagle valley
early this morning. Word was immediate-
ly sent to every station along the line to be
on the lookout for them.
Just at noontime the two young men
made their appearance at the Clinton house
in Mill Hall. Dale remained outside while
Gordon went in and, representing himsell
as twenty-one years of age, got a glass of
beer to drink. G. H. Long, the proprie-
tor recognized them as answering the de-
scription of the two suspected of robbing
the Curtin postoffice and going over to the
drug store he notified Constable Charles
Suyder. The two men retarned to the ho-
tel and found the young men in the office,
Gordon at the telephone talking to some
one in Bellefonte. They went to the boys
and told them they would have to submit
to arrest when Gordon drew a revolver and
bad the men not been quick enough to pre-
vent him he would have shot them both.
They were both overcome finally and
disarmed and on being searched $88.24, a
pumber of stamped envelopes, a bandfal
of pocket knives and some other goods
from the store were found on them. The
authorities here were notified and W. Ca-
ler Morrison accompanied by officers went
to Mill Hall and brought the young men
up in a carriage and they are now in
jail, where they will have ample time to
meditate on the rashness of their crime. At
Howard they stopped and the boys showed
the officers where the bulk of the money
and postage stamps were hidden, so that
practically everything that was stolen was
recovered.

Wisp, Raix AND CoLp.—Following
close npon the nice weather of last week
came one of the most terrific wind and
rainstorms, Saturday afternoon, experienced
in this section this year. The wind was go
high that it shook the most solidly built
buildings in Bellefoute while throughout
the county more or less damage was dove
by fences being blown down, buildings un-
roofed, etc. On the Reynolds farm up Bul-
falo Run the cupola was blown off the
barn and narrowly missed killing some cat-
tlein the barn-yard. The rain storm whioh
followed the wind was a regular downpour.
Sunday afternoon there was another similar
wind and rain storm, though not quite as
fierce. as that of Saturday afternoon. San-
day afternoon a severe storm passed down
the Bald Eagle valley and at the time the
people of Bellefonte witnessed one of the
most peculiar phenomena. When the
first thunder was heard a large black cloud
was seen coming up out of the west. Be-
Jow it was a strip of light as bright as fire.
The oloud sailed rapidly and the light
spread until it covered the entire western
portion of the sky. Light shiftivg clouds
traveling at an unusually rapid pace gave
the western heavens the appearance of a
huge conflagration with volumes of smoke
pouring forth from the blaze and carried
away by the high winds. The peculiar
sight lasted perhaps ten minutes and was
viewed by hundreds.
Following the storms of Saturday and
Sunday the weather became somewhat
cooler on Monday and Monday night over-
coats were in demand. By Tuesday morn-
ing the thermometer bad fallen to forty de-
grees above zero and frost was seen in many
places, though not enough to do any dam-
age.
