L. Foster, who took the leading part, and Mr. Downing, the di- rector of The Thespians. Foster's danc- ing and Armstrong's singing were of course features of the entertainment, but then every student who took part so com- pletely filled in his subject that all are de- serving of commendation and are entitled to a justifiable amount of pride over the success they achieved this year. With the presentation of such entertainments ‘The Thespians will always be sure of a good house when they come to Belle- fonte. 1]. J. Dreese, of Lemont, who at the election in February was chosen one of the road supervisors of College township, is starting out with a determination to improve the roads of that section as much as it is possible for him to do with the money at his command. He has already been instrumental in taking out a petition for a state road from the eastern line of State"College borough to the Benner town- ship line, but knowing that it will be some time before there isany certanity of such a road being built he has gone to work to put the road in good shape for the coming summer. He now has a stone crusher in operation crushing stone to fill up the road where needed. These heex- pects to cover with a dressing of clay then round it off with the split-log road drag, two of which he has had made for ‘use in his territory. Now if he follows up the above good work by taking out the breakers in the road and installing a sys- tem of underground drainage he will be doubly entitled to the commendation of every driver of a vehicle. Mr. Dreese’s good intentions, by the way, are such as might be emulated by supervisors all over the county. rn A es — ~—Just one week more and the fisher- man will be in the height of his glory, as the trout season opens next Friday. Present indications do not point to a very auspicious opening or a prolific season. Fishermen who have been along the streams aver that very few trout are to be seen and, unless they are in hiding and come out as the weather grows warmer there is likelihood of the majority of fish- ermen coming home empty-handed and with only a big bundle of disappointment for their trouble. Last fall a dozen or so fine trout were to be seen daily in Spring creek opposite this office but now not one of the speckled beauties are in sight. They have not been caught, of course, and it is equally reasonable to suppose that they have not died a natural death, but they have disappeared and the only solution is that they have gone either up or down stream into deeper water, and lucky will be the fisherman who succeeds in enticing one or more of them onto his hook. But whether the trout are scarce or not, the usual number of fishermen will very likely be out trying their luckin one week from this morning, providing the weather is at all favorable.

The fire, which is generally believed to have been of in- cendiary origin, broke out about two o'clock but when discovered the flames had already gained such headway that it was impossible to save either the build- ing or any of the contents. All the ma- chinery was so badly damaged as to be rendered worthless for anything but scrap iron. The company had a small unsold stock of canned goods on hand as well as a good supply of new cans, all of which were destroyed. The canning factory cost to build and equip sixteen thousand dollars and the stock on hand was valued at zbout two thousand dollars, so that the total loss is in the neighborhood of eighteen thous- and dollars, with but six thousand dollars insurance. The factory has been idle over a year, as it was not ope- rated at aii last year and no plans had been made to run it this year, so that it will hardly be rebuilt. rs ——— A] c—— Marriage Licenses.

The change is a decided improve- ment. Mrs, Wolfe makes a display of radiantly beautiful hats, Parisian and Fifth avenue crea- tions. The most fastidious women cannot com- plain of the styles. They are unmistakably charming, graceful in line, offer a wide variety of choice and most attractive in their trimmings. In shape the spring hats are no longer ridiculous ex- aggerations. Mrs. Wolfe remarked that rough fancy straws in colors would be in vogue, with Leghorn as the favorite. Since her opening days the parlors have been thronged with anxious sight-seers.
