For some years it bas been a regalar annual occurrence at State College for inhabitants of the village and occupants of the dormi- tories to open their eyes on the morning of Decoration Day upon a procession com pos- ed of a heterogeneous collection of farm im- plemente and vehicles of every sort, ar- ranged on the campus in front of “Old Main.” In the vicinity of this ungainly combination a graveyard has been made and suitable epitapbs and fitting inscrip- tions, according to the taste of the careless student, have informed the curions-mind ed that effigies of certain uopopular members of the faculty reposed beneath the head- stones, The pained expression and sorrowing tones of one of our most revered veterans, when the usual event took place on Deco- ration day of last year, will not easily be forgotten, as he said: ‘I think the men who fought and bled and died for this country deserve more respect than they re- ceive at the hands, of the present genera- tion.” In the mind of the student, mo thought of irreverence may have existed— in fact, be bad probably never thonght of the matter at all—in his own free and care less language, it was done ‘just for tun.’ The race is however slowly but steadily growing toward higher ideals and the youth who attend our educagional istita- tions are susceptible to the teachings of those who are able to inspire them with these ideals. Therefore; when the present Sophomore class proposed to commemorate the day by a memorial service to the late President Atherton, who gave the best part of his life to the development of the in- stintion, they were heartily encouraged and the veterans were invited to join with students in the services, Unfortunately rain prevented the services from being held on the front campus according to first in- tention and the rather small audience which gathered there moved by request to the auditorium. Judge Love, who was the first speaker on the program, opened with the remark that he need pay no trib- ute to Dr. Atherton, since the institution itself was the most fitting monument which be could have. As he was obliged to leave on the next train his remarks pre- ceded the address of welcome given by Dr. Welsh. Dr. Gill, with his usnal excellent com- mand of Euglish, defived the American idea of patriotism by a desoripsion of the statue of *‘The Minute Man," at Concord, Maes. His thought that it excels all monuments because it expresses the crown- ing idea of patriotism which is prevalent in America to-day, was impressive. The services were closed by President Sparks, who paid a touching tribute to the memory of the late president, in which he said: “There are men and women in this room who knew George W. Atherton longer than I did, but to none present was he greater benefactor or bet- ter friend than to myself. He was an ideal sol- dier because he was a man of the people. He built up this College of the people. I cannot im- agine him anywhere except in a college of the people founded for the people. He knew what it was to be poor, what it was to struggle for an edu- cation. He had visions and dreams for his college which he imparted to me on the day of my first arrival in this place. ‘Over there,’ he said ‘shall be our great auditorium; and here we are to-day in the temple which is the work of his hands. I hope this custom of commemorating memorial day in so suitable a manner, insugurated by the Sophomore class to-day, may come to be a yearly occurrence,” ———e HONORING THE NATION'S DEAD.—Last Saturday started in an ideal Memorial day but several hard rain storms in the after- noon interfered to a great extent with the program for honoring the nation’s dead in the various cemeteries througboat the coun- ty. Notwithstanding this fact, however, memorial exercises were held and the graves of all old soldiers strewn with flow- eis aud marked with a miniature flag. The program for the day in Bellefonte provided for a march to the cemetery at two o'clock p. m., hat just about the time the parade formed in the Diamond a severe thunder storm occurred and the crowd ad- journed to the court house where the latter part of the exercises as arrangad for the day were held first. H. B. Pontius, com- mander of Greeg Post, presided and after a brief talk introdaced Rev. J. Allison Platts ae orator of the day. The reverend gentle- man made a very patriotio, even eloquent address and was listened to throughoat with the closest attention. Following him Rev. John Hewitt made a brief speech. Rev. Hewitt served in the Confederate army during the war bus there is no man more heartily in accord with the Union as it was preserved then and is to-day than he, and bis address was one which touched the hearts of all old soldiers present. At the conclusion of the services in the court house, and the storm baving eub- sided, the paral 1 formed and marched to the Union cemétery where the nsual sery- ices were held and the soldiers’ graves decorated. Special services were held at the grave of ex-Governor Andrew G. Car- tin, where an address was made by Col. J. LL. Spangler, and at the grave of former Governor D. H. Hastings, where the speaker was Kev. Ambrose M. Schmid. Before the service: were concladed another rain storm came up and the crowd dispersed sooner than it otherwise would have done. ~—Mise Ella Gates’ Sunday school class will bold a eocial as the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.

The Village Improve- ment committee reported thas the old stone building on the MeoClure lot on south Spring street was in a dilapidated and dangerous condition and recommended its removal at the expense of the property owners. It was decreed that the owners should be notified of the recom on of the committee and further action be deferred until the next meeting of council.

CANOEING ON BALD EAGLE CREEK. —Canoeing on-Bald Eagle creek is just now a favorite pastime for quite a number of young people, although just at present the pleasure seems to be confined mostly to residents of Look Haven. Last Saturday a party of nine with three canoes came up from Lock Haven to the dam at Curtin where they embarked for their voyage down the valley. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cushing and Miss Martha Peale, who occupied one cance ;, Capt. W. A. Simpson, Miss Helen Lesher and Miss Anna Kress in the second canoe and Wilson C. Kress and Miss Elizabeth Peale and Mies Anna Bickford in the third canoe. The creek was quite high, owing to re- cent rains, and the party had no trouble floating with the tide at a good pace. Be- low Howard they beached their canoes and ate luncheon, completing the trip in the afternoon. At this time in the year the water is just high enough in the Bald Eagle to render canoeing a pleasant pastime, at- tended with little or no danger, and the only wonder is shat it is not participated in by more young people. ——Tuesday morning Hon. John Noll lost his watch and, baturally, he was very much worked up over the loss. He bad the timepiece as his steam laundry on Water street and from there had gone to the Bush house, down to the Central Rail- road of Pennsylvania depot, up to the Bellefonte Academy and back to she laan- dry before he missed it. Then he instituted a search and, of course, told everybody he met about his loss, but no watoh surned op during the day. Among the number told of his lose wasS. H. Williams aod Tuesday eveniug, alter five o'clock, Mr. Williams was driving home from his store oo High street and with him in hie wagon were his sons, Harry and Willis, John Gross and one or two oshers, and when they turned the corner at the Bush Arcade Mr. Williams began to tell the men she story of Mr. Nol! losing his watoh. He bad just finished as they got opposite the laundry, when John Gross said : -*“What's that ?” and jumping out of the wagon picked the watch up. It appears that during the morning Mr. Noll bad been showing an underwriter around the laan- dry and in stooping near his boiler house the watch bad dropped out of his pooket and laid there on Water street all day un- til discovered by Gross. It in needless to say Mr. Noll was very glad to get hie watch back so soon. ed under the strong light now used. In addition to the cave itself the hotel has been greatly modernized. Every room on the three ‘floors has been entirely over- bauled, repainted, papered and refurnish- ed. Bath rooms and lavoratories have been installed and a complete water system is in use all over the house; the water being pumped from a nearby spring by means of a gasoline engine. A competent steward is in charge of the house and is equipped to furnish meals to individuals or picnic parties on short notice. Under the new mavagement the cave promises to become a more popular resort than it bas ever been in the past. THEY FEEL AGGRIEVED.—Quite a nam- ber of Bellefonte merchants yesterday re- ceived letters from the Business Association of Penhsylvania in which the WATCHMAN was denounced for tke article it published at the time Messrs. Limeburver and Dick- ensheid were in Bellefonte soliciting names to a petition for the repeal of the mercan- tile tax law and at the same time taking contributions to help pay the expenses. The letter obarges that the WATCHMAN'S article was inspired because we did not want to Jose the publication of the mercan- tile appraisement. In this the Business Men's Association of Pennsylvania, which bas offices in the Weightman building, Philadelphia, and to which Judge Kunkel, at Harrisburg, some time [ago declined to grant a'charter, is entirely wrong. Owf ar- ticle was inspired hy the merchants of Bellefonte who had contributed and who when they ‘‘woke up’’ helieved they had been faked, and was published purely as a news item. And in this connection it might be pertinent to add that noiwithstanding the plausibility of the letters received yes- terday Bellefonte merchants have not changed their minds in the least. ~ BcHOOL BOARD ORGANIZES. — The school directors of Bellefonte met in she direetors room in the stone building on Monday evening and organized the board for the ensuing year by the election of the following officers : President, Henry C, Quigley; secretary, James K.

UNDINE FIRE Co’s Bic PicNic.—The Undine fire company, at a regular meeting Tuesday evening, decided to hold their ous- tomary annual pionio at Heola park on July 4th. The mere announcement of this fact will no doubt be appreciated by the thous ands who have attended these gatherings for years past, aad all of whom know that the Undines always give one of the best pionics held at the park.
