P. 8. C. SrupeNTs GREET NEW PRESI-
DENT IN CHARACTERISTIC STYLE.—Dr.
Edwin E. Sparks, called from the chair in
History, University of Chicago, to be
president of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, arrived Monday afternoon to assnme
the dasies of his new position. Although
his tormal inauguration will not take place
until commencement, for which event elabo-
rate preparations are being made, it was
the unanimous desire of the stadents to ex-
tend an immediate welcome which was
done on Wednesday morning in a unique
aud enthusiastic manner perhaps never ex-
celled, if ever equalled, in the many dem-
onstrations at State. A spont.neous greet-
ing of this sort from a thousand students
carries an import very different from the
usual formal and often far from genuine
public demonstration and must certainly
be a bappy experience to the man ; who
elicits it.
A half holiday was declared for the cele-
bration which began with Dr. Sparks’ ad-
dress to the boys in chapel. At nine o’clock
there was drill of the two battalions in full
uniform which culminated at ten o’clock in
the dress parade of battalions and remain-
i ing students past the reviewing stand
erected in front of the Auditorium and
apou which Dr. Sparks and members of the
faculty stood. An industrial parade of so
ambitious a nature has never before been
attempted which doubtless accounts [or
this #0 successful and original demonstra.
tion. The various schools of she College
were represented chiefly by floats—techni-
cal, practical, ludicrous—that would bave
done credit to many more lavish and wide-
ly advertised celebrations,
The school of Engineering represented
the mechanical department in perbaps the
most striking and attractive float decorated
with blue and white bunting and carrying
an entire laboratory outfit for demonstra-
| tion, the fire blazing, the anvil responding
to the industrious forger who had his warn-
ing overhead in large letters ‘‘Watch for
Sparks;” the electrical department by a
dyoamo other insignia; plenty of *‘jolly
electricals; the civil by men equipped for
field work with cbains, rods, ete. The
school of Mines bad a real miners’ cart fol-
lowed by most genuine looking miners—
begrimed carrying picks and other mining
| ntensils and demanding an ‘‘S8-hour day
and fall dinner pail. ‘Swamps Angels” in
laboratory coats and aprous with wash bos-
tles, blow pipes and everything transport.
able from a chemistry department were
both technical and Indicrons. “Felosoty”’
mathematics were represented by travepar-
| encies and Zo-ology by a skeleton.
The school of Agriculture covered all the
road space available and represented every
phase of agricoltural pursuit—the farmer
sowiog his seed, the spraying apparatus
finding for demonstration on this occasion,
spectators rather than San ‘‘Josey’’ scale,
an experiment cow that gave oleomargarine
out of one teat, cheese out of another, but-
termilk out of another, an up-to-date milk
wagon with an out-of-date mule, poaltry,
machinery ad infinitum, more stock, then !
the Forestry float, built of large logs,
topped by erect pine trees, exceedingly at-
tractive and followed by foresters with axes
and plenty of rules for conservation of
woods and water.
A department desired was represented by
a small wheel-mrrow carrying one chair
aud ao appeal for a building. The nbiqui-
| tous ‘‘knocker’’ department by a float la-
beled “Not Any Traction Co.” and pro-
pelled by muscle rather than electricity.
In this department might also be included
the ‘‘Slide Rule’’ and some other features
which evoked merriment and applause.
Prepared with good feeling, executed with
enthusiasm, it was a noteworthy and most
successful demonstration.
CON ene
A Bap Diadoxp.—By the foregoing
caption we do not mean a bad stone, hut
refer to the public square in front of the
court house in this place and the word
“‘bad’’ does not by any means express the
deplorable condition in which it is. As
oue time it was paved with a mixture of
stone, cinder, tar and sand, but now it isa
conglomeration of ruts and holes that
would be a disgrace on a hall respectable
public road any where in the county. While
it is the one piace in the town shat shonld
be kept in the very best of condition it is
now really worse than any of the side
etreets,
It is is correct, as stated, that the county
commissioners are ready to put down a
new conurete pavement in front of the sol-
diers’ monument and cours house yard juss
as soon as the borough engineer will give
them a grade, why don’t council see to is
that a grade is given. And then follow
that up wish fixing the Diamond in some
way or other that is will present ay least a
ball-decent appearance. If there is any
likelihood of getting thas state highway
through Bellefonte for which application
has been made there is some reason for al-
lowing the street so remain in the condi-
tion it is, bat if there is none, and the bor-
ough authorities ought to find out whether
there is or not, then why not fix is now
aud not allow it to remain in the condition
it is all summer; to be commented
upon by every stranger who visits Belle-
foute as the one disgrace of the town.
Most every street crossing in Bellefonte is
bad enough, but goodness knows, the Dia.
mond is far worse,
Since the above was put in type, or rath-
er Wednesday evening state highway com-
missioner Hunter and chief engineer Foster
were in Bellefonte and went over the route
of the proposed state road, so there is a
probability of it being built soon.
~The commissioners appointed to in-
quire into the advisability of dividing
Harris township into two voting precinote
will report in favor of doing so at next
week's session of court.
——Dr. M. J. Locke has finally gotten
his Baick machine ous of shop and it pre-
seats a very nobby appearance in its new
coat of Fremoh grey paint. Remodeled
with fullelliptio springs in the rear it is now
a much more comfortable riding car than
before and the doctor is very much pleased.

——In our article on the Academy min-
strels last week we unintentionally omit-
ted the name of William Crooks, ove of the
end men, in giving the names of those de-
serving of individual mention. Mr. Crooks,
it will be remembered, was the young man
who sang “In Bandanna Lan’’ and other
songs, and really was one of the stars of
the minstrels.
~The annoal ministerial, Sunday
sohool and Keystone League Christian
Endeavor convention of the Centre district
of the United Evangelical church will be
held at Centre Hall, May 19—21. An in-
teresting program has been arranged. The
pastors of the various appointments and
delegates from each Sanday school and
League are expected to be in attendance.

~——Charles Barnes, who the past month
has been collector for the Penns,ivania
telephone company in this place, has re-
signed Lis position and gone to Long}Island
where he has secured a good joh with a
large contracting firm. His brother, Joe
Barnes, has resigned his position as driver
for the Adams Express company and taken
the job of collecting for the telephone com-
pany.
~——Two young men from Philadelphia
were in Bellefonte last Saturday and spent
a few hoars at the Y. M. C. A. They are
on a walking trip across the continent to
San Francisco for the benefit of their health,
and being amply supplied with funds were
taking the trip easy. They stated that
they were making an average of about six-
teen miles a day and had no definite time
set for reaching the Golden Gate.

——If you happen to meet landlord Al.
8S. Garman these days don’t ask him if he
is through papering the hotel. It is a
question that appeals very forcibly to him
just at present. After going to consider-
able expense to have the office finished in
the finest kind of style, the French linorust
paper used is so heavy that it is falling off
and pulling the whitecoating from the plas-
tering, so that the entire office will have to
be repapered.

—A freight engine and train jumped
the track near Jalian on Saturday and be.
fore they came to a standstill knocked
down two telegraph poles and broke
telegraphic connection hesween this place
and Tyrone, so that it was some time be-
fore word could be gotten to Tyroue for
the wreck train. The engine and crew
were the same that figured in the recent
fatal acoident in Lock Haven when one
man was killed and two others injared.

~——]t has been currently rumored the
past week that Horton 8. Ray, landlord of
the Brockerhoff house, had sold out to T.
8. Strawn and would move to New York,
but the rumor is not correct. Itis true
thas when Mr. Strawn was here two weeks
ago he made Mr. Ray an offer bat the latter
gentleman has decided tbat he will not ac-
cept the same. That he is going to con-
tinue as landlord of the Broockerhoff is a
fact his many friends will be glad to know.

——Fred Chambers has accepted a posi-
tion with a large cigarette manufacturing
company and will travel in their interest.
Belore going on the road, however, he will
take a two week's vacation whioh he will
spend with his parents, Col. and Mrs.
Edward R. Chambers, in this place. He
will then leave for the Pacific coast where
he will spend four or five months introdac-
ing his line of cigarettes. The position
not only carries with it a good salary but
will enable him to see a large part of the
United States as well.
—Sanday was hospital day iv the Metho-
dist church and the pastor, Rev. James B.
Stein, made the day the scoasion for preach-
ing two very strong and appropriate ser-
mons. His text in the morning was ‘Faith
and Works’’ and in the evening ‘‘Thou
Shals Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.”
He gave a namber of illustrations to show
the great good that was being done suffer-
ing bumanity through the medium of the
hospitals and stated shat they were deserv-
ing of most liberal support. The ocolleo-
tions taken up hoth morning and evening
amounted to sixty-eight dollars, which
amount will be divided between the Metho-
dist hospital, Philadelphia, and the Belle-
fonte hospital.

——Monday evening the writer acoom-
pauied Frank E. Naginey for a little spin
down over the state road and through
Milesburg in his Ford runabout, and the
two of us had about as narrow an escape
from injury and perbaps death as either of
us care about. R. B. Taylor started work
on the state road through Milesharg by
filling in shis side of the bridge and had
big stone filled in to a depth of three or
four feet with apparently room fora drive:
way around the left side. There were no
signal lights to apprise drivers of any dan-
ger and Mr. Naginey naturally took what
he presumed was the road way arouud the
stone pile with the result that he came
within six inches of running his machine
down over the stone wall about twenty
feet into the creek. Fortunately he dis-
covered the danger in time to avoid a spill
and ran his machine into the stone pile.
Contractor Taylor, or whoever was super-
intending his work, was very negligent in
creating a place like that and leaving is
lie that way at night without danger sig-
nale out, and ifany fatalities would resuls
thereby might be liable for a big bill of
damages
A. Rest Rurr OUSTED FROM ARDMORE |
ScHOOLS.—It was very much of a surprise
to his many friends in Bellefonte to learn
last week that A. Reist Rutt, a former
teacher in the Bellefonte High school, bad
beeu ousted from his position as supervis-
ing principal of the Ardmore schools, in
Lower Merion township, near Philadel-
phia.
When Mr. Rutt left Bellefonte nine
years ago he went to Milton where he wae
principal of the schools for six years.
Three years ago he was unanimously chosen
by the board of directors of Lower Merion
township as supervising principal of the
Ardmore schools. Daring the three years
he has been in charge there his work has
been 80 eminently successful that the
schools in that place are reputed to rank
among the foremost in the State, and it
was universally supposed by the patrons of
the schools $hat Mr. Rutt was a fixture
there as long as he wanted the place.
In fact he was given assurance by the
board of directors that he could hold the
position as long as he desired and so secure
did he feel that be boughs a lot and within
the past year built himsell a nice home
thereon. Daring the past winter there
was considerable agitation between the tax-
payers and members of the hoard of direot-
ors over the proposition to build a new
twenty-five thousand dollar High school
building, but Mr. Rutt kept ous of thé
controversy. As the time for choosing
teachers for next year drew near he nataral-
ly saw the directors regarding his chances
of being re-elected and had assurances of
the support of five of the six members of
the board, one of the number even pledg-
ing his support in writing.
Just what entered into his defeat has not
been divulged unless it was the fact that
some members of the board desired to get
even with the patrons of the school on the
High school building question. Anyhow,
on Monday of last week a secret meeting
was beld in the office of the president of
the school board and five out of the six men
voted against Mr. Ratt. The fact was
then kept quiet until the latter part of the
week when the action of the directors was
made public and it brought forth such a
storm of indignant protests that they may
yet be compelled to reconsider their action.
As viewed from an unbiased standpoing
it certainly was a very arbitrary proceed-
ing on the part of the directors and one, if
allowed to stand, will set a bad precedent,
as no board of school directors should be
allowed to go so directly in opposition to
the wishes of the patrons and supporters of
the schools, the big majority of whom, in
this case, were in favor of Mr. Ratt's re-
election.

THREE HURT IN RUNAWAY.— Last
Thursday afternoon Albert Thompson, the
liveryman, with John L.. Nighthart and a
young man whose name we could not
learn, left Bellelonte in a sop buggy to go
down Bald Eagle on a fishing expedition.
Thompson was driving one of his own
horses. Just when they reached Rhoads
corner on Lino street an automobile came
toward them at top speed and taken so
npawares the animal naturally became
frightened, reared and jumped to one side
bus did not get beyond countroi until they
bad gone perhaps fifty feet and the auto-
mobile was out of sight when the bit came
apart and dropped out of the horse's
mouth.
Quick as a flash he made a jump forward
and then started on a wild run. Thompeon
astempted to pull him into the wall on the
right hand side of the road and just where
Curtin street intersects with the pike the
front wheel of the buggy went into a
ditch and the three men were thrown into
the air fully twelve feet taking the top of
the buggy with them. Falling on the bard
road Thompson had his left arm and shoul-
der badly wrenched and sustained a num-
ber of outs and bruises on the body. Nighs-
hart got several bad outs on the face and
was otherwise pretty badly sprained and
braised. The third member of the party
bad one leg badly sprained and bruised,
and the only wonder is that all three were
not killed outright. The buggy was a
complete wreck and the horse ran down to
the Armor’s gap lime kilns before he was
caught. Neither man in the party had
time enongh to see who the auntomobilist
was that first frightened their horse.
BELLEFONTE MAN ROBBED AND BEAT-
EN BY THUGS.—Linn Saylor, an old
Bellefonter but who now lives in Kittan-
ning, Armstronglcounty, was set upon by
three thugs on Sunday night, robbed and
sand bagged and then thrown over a high
embankment and lefs for dead by his as-
sailaats.
He had heen working as a puddler at
Hyde Centre, Clearfield county, and on
Sanday left for his home in Kittanning. At
Mosgrove Janoction be got on a wrong train
but lefs it at Mahoning and started to walk
to Templeton, a mile distant. Between
the two places he was confronted hy three
men, two of whom held him while the
third took $40, his gold watch and some
papers.
When released Saylor showed fight. The
three thugs sat upon him, beat him with a
sandbag, cut bis head with koucklers and
finally threw him over she Allegheny river
bauk, the injared man rolling to the watce’s
edge. In the darkness the footpads evi-
dently thought he had gone into the river,
but to make sure .of their work hurled
stones alter him.
When the highwaymen left Saylor by a
desperate effort crawled to the top of the
bank and slowly made his way to Temple.
ton, where Dr. J. Schaffner attended him,
and he was kept until late Sunday evening
before he could be taken home. He is now
in a serious condition.

LUKENBACH — RowEk.—Though their
many friends bave long anticipated thas
something desperate was going to happen
very soon Charles A. Lukenbach and Miss
Ellen E. Rowe succeeded in getting mar-
ried in the town and getting away with
only a very lew knowing about it until it
was all over. Miss Rowe had been in
Philadelphia for ten days or swo weeks and
on Saturday evening Mr. Lukenbach also
lett for the same place and it was naturally
supposed they would be married away
from home,
Bat such was not the case as they re-
turned to Bellefonte Sunday evening. But
at six o'clock Monday morning they went
to the Catholic parsonage on Bishop street
where they were quietly married by Rev.
Father MoArdle. William C. Rowe and
Miss Rebie Noll attended them. Immedi-
ately after the ceremony the young couple
proceeded to the depot and left on the 6.30
train for a brief wedding trip.
Both young people are well know in
Bellefonte and quite popular, the bride
being a daughter of recorder John C. Rowe
while the bridegroom is ason of Mr. and
Mrs. A. Lukenbach. He is employed as a
olerk in the First National bank. Upon
their return they will go to housekeeping
in the Nichols house on east Curtiu street.
