WiLL ApPeAL TO THE LADiES.—In the exquisite little frocks worn by Miss Ro- berta Brennan who plays the role of “Ger- trude Powell” in “St. Elmo" which will come to the opera house on Saturday evening, May 7th, this season's debutan- tes will see duplicates of some very fetch- ing creations which will grace New York drawing rooms this season. For several years the styles for young women have been more elegant than dainty. Satins, which have been the most popular tab- rics for dinner and dancing gowns, were anything but youthful, and however cling- ing and suple the weave, it gave dignity rather than girlishness to the figure. This season, however, soft fabrics and simple styles, showing very little garniture, are back in favor for debutantes. Miss Bren- nan’s first act frock is of palest green silk mulle inset elaborately with Ger man Val lace. In design it shows a modifica- | tion of Moyen Age dress, with exaggerat- | ed waist line, softened by a deep Spanish | flounce. The neck is square and the! sleeves come to the elbow. Her second ! act frock is an afternoon dress, suitable | for wear at tea or reception. The fabric ~——Owing to the hard rains and con- sequent bad condition of the roads there | were no members of the Bellefonte motor club in attendance at the meeting held in Lewistown last Friday in the interest of securing a better road through the Lewistown Narrows. Quite an interest- ing meeting was held, however, and such action taken as will eventually result, it is believed, in having the road put in good condition and provision made for its permanent maintenance. ——R. B. Taylor is pushing the job of | digging out the yard in the rear of the court house extension and at the rate the work has been going will have his grad- ing all done long before the court house is completed. The clay and stone remov- ed'are being used in making the fill on the new state road in front of the Beaver and Hoy row, so that he is practically killing two birds with one stone. There have been a number of objections against terracing next the street on each side of the court house but as this is mostly a matter between the county commission- ers and council the public is being both- ered unnecessarily. —If you have a passion for music, real- ly good music, go to the court house this (Friday) evening and hear the concert by the State College orchestra for the bene- , fit of the Bellefonte baseball association. The WATCHMAN told you last week and week before what a good concert this is sure to be but as a final effort we want to impress upon you the fact that if you fail to attend it you will missing a rare treat.

How MisTAKEs HAPPEN.—Subscribers of a newspaper and the public in general rely upon what they read in any reputa- ble newspaper as being facts and in the main they are. A newspaper of any stand- ing will not wilfully make a statement that cannot be substantiated, but some- times an error will happen and it is in- variably ascribable to the source from which the information is derived and not from any desire on the part of the repor- ter to misstate facts, and this brings us to the point. About the middle of March a man was arrested in this place for fur- nishing liquor to a man of known intem- perate habits. The writer was told by the officials and one other party that the man was Harry Williams, of Huston township, and not knowing any different made men- tion of the fact. Mr. Williams, who is station agent at Julian, of course protest: ed, inasmuch as he is the only Harry Wil- liams in that township. Investigation dis- closed the fact that the man’s name was not Williams at all but J. H. Green, who has been bound over for court, and we naturally are glad to offer our apologies to Mr. Williams. A newspaper man is not infallible, and mistakes like this will sometimes occur, but when they do, the editor is always willing to tell the truth and make amends to the best of his ability. - SPECIAL GRANGE MEETINGS.—The Cen- tre county Pomona Grange has arranged for the holding of a number of public meetings at various points in Centre county. These meetings will be held in the evening and will be addressed by two prominent men, one of whom will be from either the State College or the State Agricultural Department. On the morn- ing following the public meetings a pri- vate meeting will be held for members only. The places for the public meetings and the dates are as follows: Hublersburg, June 6th; Zion, June 7th; Benner, June 8th; Halfmoon, June 9th; Rock Springs, June 10th, and Pine Grove Mills, June 11th. Special private meet- s will be held at Spring Mills and ssctively. , ; ——Miss Annie Powers, one of the compositors in the WATCHMAN office, has been off duty with illness the past week, measured seventeen inches in length. though she is now somewhat improved. of the town the coming season. ——Shortly before the WATCHMAN went to press on Thurdsay of last week Mrs. Charles Rine, on east Howard street, made an attempt at suicide by shooting herself. She fired four shots from a revolver only one of which took effect. At first it was thought she was seriously injured but an examination disclosed the fact that the ball entered her left side but struck a rib and was deflected from its course,coming out of the left side of her back. The Rines livein one end of adouble house, the other end of which is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. G. Hunter Knisely, and one of the shots fired by the woman came near proving more disastrous than the one which took effect upon herself. The ball almost penetiated through a stud- ding in the dividing wall between the two houses and directly opposite where Mr. Knisely was sitting propped up in bed. Had it been one inch to the right or left it would have gone through the plastering and hit him. Many stories have been circulated as to why the wom- an attempted to take her own life and while all of them can hardly be true there is little doubt but that it was domestic trouble of some sort. ——The work of completing the new High school building is progressing very slowly, or at least it seems so to the casual observer. But when a person takes a stroll through the building and takes account of its immensity he can easily understand why the work seems to drag. There is so much of the building that it would take an army of workmen, one to two hundred and more than can be obtained in Bellefonte, to rush the work along. . But at that the work is being pushed along steadily and unceasingly. Most of the rooms on the first and second floors have been plastered and are ready for the finishing whitecoat. The carpen- ters this week began work on laying the floors and as soon as the plastering is completed will fit in the doors and cas- ing and the other inside woodwork. The Bellefonte Steam Heating company has practically completed the installation of the heatirg and ventilating system and from present appearance it will be one of the best ever installed in any building in Bellefonte. The completion of the big hall in time for the High school com- mencement is assured and that will be the first opportunity the general public will have of seeing what a magnificent building it will be when finally complet- ed burg, at 445 Hummel street. The bride, who received many hand- some presents in silver, cut glass, china, linen, etc., is a daughter of Mrs. Sarah C. Brown and is an accomplished young woman. The bridegroom is a son of Mrs. D. L. Wray, of Bellwood, and is a a geod position in the motive power de- partment of the Philadelphia division of the Pennsylvania railroad, with headquar- ters in Harrisburg. Among those who attended the wed- ding were Clement Wray and Misses Nan, Ethel and Katherine Wray, brother and sisters of the groom. Hoy-HOMAN.—The home of Mr. B. F. Homan, at Oak Hall, was the scene of a pretty wedding at noon on Wednesday man, was united in marriage to Harry Hoy. Only the immediate families were present as witnesses to the ceremony which was performed by Rev. J. I. Stone- cypher, of the Boalsburg Lutheran church. Miss Gertie Homan played the wedding march as the bridal couple wended their way to the altar attended by Miss May Homan as bridesmaid and Mr. Pauline, of Muncy, as best man. Following the mar- riage quite an elaborate wedding dinner was served and at 3:40 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Hoy departed on a brief wedding trip. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Hoy, of Pine Hall, and is al- ready quite a capable young farmer while the bride is a young woman of many es- timable qualities. They have the best wishes of the WATCHMAN for their future happiness. SNYDER—OSMAN.—Melvin J. Snyder, of Watsontown, and Miss Minnie M. Osman, of Lemont, were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Osman, at seven o'clock on Wednesday evening. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. A. Sower, of Pleasant Gap, in the presence of a small coterie of invited guests. The bride was attended by four of her most intimate young lady triends. A wedding supper and reception followed the ceremony. After a brief wedding trip the young couple will go to house- keeping at Watsontown where the bride- groom is employed as a telegraph ope- rator. BATHURST—LEATHERS.—On Thursday afternoon of last week Ibra W. Bathurst and Miss Tracie C. Leathers, both of Mt. Eagle, went to Lock Haven where they were united in marriage by Rev. Henry J. Johnson, of the Baptist church. They left the same afternoon for Coatesville where they will make their home.

A big street parade will be made prior to the show. ——Besides hearing about the highest class musical organization in Central Pennsylvania—and we know whereof we speak—many of those who attend the concert by the Penn State orchestra to- night will have their first opportunity to see the interior of the remodel:d court room. This may sound like a trifling matter, but we venture the assertion that were it not for concerts, lectures and such things there are hundreds of people right here in Bellefonte who would never know what the inside of their own court house looks like. graduate of State College.

JUNIORS GIVE RECEPTION TO SENIORS. —One of the most successful receptions ever given by one class of the Bellefonte High school to another was that given by the Juniors to the Seniors, in the old High school building, last Friday evening. In- cluding the students of both classes and the members of the faculty just fifty peo- ple were present.
