| BELLEFONTE HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCE.
MENT.—Thirty-two years have rolled
| around since the first class was graduat-
ed at the Bellefonte High school, and any
person who witnessed the graduation of
! the class of thirty-nine young men and
women this week cannot help but be
, thankful for the educational facilities af-
forded young Americans today. The ex-
ercises began on Sunday evening with
the preaching of the baccalaureate ser-
mon by Rev. W. C. Charlton, in St. John’s
| Episcopal church, which was crowded to
the doors.
| The rector took for his text first
; Samuel, 3: 9: “Speak, Lord, for Thy Ser-
“vant Heareth.” The theme of the ser-
mon was “Consecration as illustrated in
the life of Samuel. In introducing his
subject the rector said that the life of
Samuel was great and worthy of our
study and emulation because of the les-
i sons which it teaches, especially those
| about to take the first steps in life. To
Samuel was entrusted the two great
works, establishing a monarchy with Da-
| vid as the first King and the founding of
the long line of Prophets of which he
‘was first. The preacher reminded the
' parents of their great responsibility to
their children, and of the great power
| they become in the forwarding of civili-
' zation when they are early returned to
I the Lord as the parents of Samuel re-
(turned him to the Lord. References
. were made to the calls of several of the
| great men of the Bible. None received
their calls with greater trust and calm-
, ness than the Virgin Mary and Samuel
, and this because of their greater inno-
| cence and faith. He reminded the grad-
uates that God’s call to service still
{comes to men and women. It is the
"claim of God on the will and choice of
' man for a free and unconditional service,
| —self surrender. He urged them to fol-
fow Samuel's example and say “my
bounden duty is to prepare to do my du-

BARBER BECK’s WiLL.—The will of bar-
ber R. A. Beck was probated on Monday
and the principal provisions are as fol-
‘lows: After making proviso for the pay-
ment of his funeral expenses and any
obligations that may be owing by him or
his family the entire estate is left in
trust with the Bellefonte Trust Co., |
which is directed to pay to his sister,
Mrs. A. M. Wittenwiler, of Philadelphia,
the sum of $200 annually; to his wife is
to be paid the sum of $50 a month for
the support of herself and two children
for a period of five years. If at the end
of that time she is still his widow the
amount is to be increased to $60 per
month. In the meantime if there should
be any unusual expenses, such as sick-
ness and hospital bills, , these are to be
i paid by said trustee out of any funds on
hand.
The children are to be educated at the
public schools and High school and then
Robert is to be given a four year’s course
' at State College at a cost not to exceed
$300 per year while his daughter Mary
is to be given a course in some girls’
school at an equal expense. If the in-
come of the estate is not sufficient to
meet this expense a portion of the prin-
cipal is to be used.
i The entire estate is to be held in trust
until his youngest child is thirty-five
years old when, if Mrs. Beck is still liv-
ing and has not remarried, and both
children are living the estate is to be di-
vided into three equal parts and settled
' up and the trust cease. In the event of
the death of one of the parties interested
the estate is to be divided between the oth-
er two. If Mrs. Beck should at any time
remarry her interest in the estate ceases.

ed to suggest to lot owners in the Union

ier of people who will likely visit the
cemetery on Sunday, as well as for the
services on Monday.
——About three months ago Harry

ent in the management in charge, the
chief purpose being to do away with a
Jot of unnecessary bookkeeping.

{ The new High school building was vis-
ited by hundreds of people during the
week to inspect the elaborate exhibition
of handicraft of the students. This in-
cluded the work of the class in mechan-
ical arts—woodwork of all description,
ard it was done with the exactness and
i nicety of experienced workmen. The
; exhibition of the classes in home econom-
| ics, which included sewing and cooking,
| was also much admired; and in addition
to the above was the work of the grade
schools in basket weaving and drawing.
No person who visited the building and
inspected these exhibitions could fail to
be impressed with the fact that the young
of today are being taught practical as
well as theoretical education. And this
is why a High school education is a very
fair equipment for the average young
man and woman to start out in life with.
The commencement exercises proper
were held yesterday afternoon and even-
ing. The High schcol auditorium was
crowded on both occasions and more
than the usual interest was manifested.
Prof. Whiting presided, the High school
orchestra furnished delightful music and
the program of class exercises was as
follows:

the girls presented a large American
flag.
At the evening session the commence-
ment address was delivered by Rev.
Charles Noyes Tyndell, rector of Christ's
Episcopal church, Williamsport. Rev.
Tyndell made a very impressive address
which abounded in bright sayings and
good advice to the young men and wom-
en who yesterday completed their public
school work.
At the conclusion of the rector’s ad-
dress the graduates were presented with
their diplomas and prizes awarded as
follows:
Col. W. Fred Reynolds general excel-

the Board of Trustees, will deliver thé
commencement address. The new Liber:
al Arts building will be formally dedicat-
ed on Wednesday afternoon.
Of course there will be house parties,
receptions and dances at the various fra-
ternities all week, but the big social
events will be President Sparks’ recep-
tion and the Junior farewell reception to
the Seniors Wednesday evening. Already
arrangements are being made for the
entertainment of one of the largest
crowds that has ever attended a com-
mencement.
Examination for admission to the col-
lege next school year will be held on
Thursday and Friday, June 10th and 11th.
And right here it might be added that
already there have been over a thousand
applications for admission into the sum-
mer course for teachers.
——“Stop, Thief!” is the name of a
big feature which the Scenic will show
tonight, and it is regarded the acme of
success in motion picture productions.
Bellefonte lovers of moving pictures
should not miss this one, and also keep
in mind the fact that this is only one of
many big features that the Scenic is
showing right along. You can’t go amiss
any night in the week at this popular
place of amusement. Every five cent
show is worth the price and the ten cent
shows give good returns for the money.
——The wedding of Miss Phoebe Mil-
dred Weaver, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Heisley Weaver, of Williamsport,
and John Farrell Macklin, of Lansing,
Mich., will take place in the Presbyterian
church at Williamsport on Saturday even-
ing, June 12th, at 7:30 o’clock. The bride-
elect is well known by quite a number of
Bellefonte people while Mr. Macklin will
be remembered as the very gentlemanly
and efficient coach of the Michigan
Aggies football team which made such a
favorable impression in Bellefonte dur-
ing their day’s stay here last November
while on their way to State College for
the Pennsylvania day football game.
——Stewart C. Cowen, of Tyrone, con-
ductor of the local freight, is in the Belle-
fonte hospital with two badly bruised
legs but thankful his injuries are no
worse. At noon on Wednesday he was
riding the pilot of the engine which was
shifting on the track near Gamble, Gheen
& Co's mill. His feet slipped from the
pilot and the heel of his shoe caught on
the guard rail. The engine was going
slow and Cowen clung fast with his
hands but the guard rail was torn loose
and shoved along the track several feet.
Fortunately the watchman discovered
Cowen’s plight and was able to have the
engine stopped quickly, other-wise the
unfortunate man might have been thrown
to the ground and mangled to death.

| fever. He wishes to express his regrets
| for any misapprehension or misstatement
to any of his patrons, if any such thing
| occurred during his absence, and will be
| glad to hear any complaints and make
{good anything unsatisfactory. Mr.
Gregory wishes to make known that the
policy of Candyland is quality first, every-
thing kept clean, made clean and served
clean at reasonable prices. Mr. Gregorv
comments upon ice cream, as he has
been asked to explain what he means by
| advertising “real ice cream.” He said!
“As I have been with a large confection-
ery supply firm of New York as travel-
ing salesman for over five years I have
observed that nine out of ten ice cream
makers in this State use gelatine or some
other sticky gum powder, to stimulate
their poor cream. The average percent-
age of cream used is from 18 to 20 per
cent. butter fat. In that case they are
compelled to use something to make it
smoothe. But the fine establishments in
the cities do not use any preparation;
they use a higher percentage cream,
averaging about 25 per cent., which re-
quires no substitute body, but has body
itself. It is rich, smoothe, with a pure,
delicious taste. Such is Candyland’s
Real Ice Cream.” Mr. Gregory says
-there is no adulteration in real ice cream;
use the real stuff and you'll have real
goods. Candyland’s ice cream is real
and that is how they get the name of
“Real Ice Cream.” They use nothing
but 25 pér cent. pure cream, sugar, flavor,
or fruit, whatever the flavor may be. Mr.
Gregory wishes to assure his patrons
that notonly in ice cream, but in every-
thing they make’ they believe there is
nothing too good to use.
——The Chinese baseball team of
Hawaii, which is now touring this coun-
try, will play the Bellefonte Academy
team, on Hughes field, on Wednesday
and Thursday, June 9th and 10th. These
will be two games Bellefonte fans will
want to see without fail. The strong
Juniata College team will play the Acad-
emy next Tuesday afternoon at 2.15
o'clock. This will be a hot game.

the State with the prospect of a twenty thousand
audience, nor the shades of such orators as
Wendell Philips, Henry Ward Beecher, or any of
the rest of those silver-tongued old-timers who
preceded him as Gettysburg orators have been
able to send the shivers of apprehension up and
down his spinal column or shake his confidence
