PENNSYLVANIA
. COLLEGE.
My visit this week was chiefly to
the Agricultural Ride of the College.
At the Experiment Station the Direc
tor, Dr. Armsby, with his efficient aids,
Dr. Frear, Prof Watters, Prof. Calcler
and Miss Grey, the Secretary, were all
busy at their several departments but
very kindly showed us the work as it
was being done by the students at this
time. In the class rooms the theoreti
r cal side was being pushed most vigor
, ously and in the Creamery, at the
barn and on the farm the practical
work was being done in a most thor
ough, plain business way. We were
shown how the grain, hay, fodder and
v ensilage were grown, gathered and
j prepared with the cost at each stage.
The system and plan of feeding with
j the results reached in each case. . The
:i herd of cattle here consists of sixty
"t cows and two bulls very fine speci
7 mens of the Guernsey breed. The
" cows are not all pure bred, but are
;'j selections from good stock bred with
s the Guernsey males until one of the
finest and best herds in the state is
the result. A standard of excellence
is established for each season and the
cows that fail to come up to the mark
are put on the market at once. Last
4 season the standard was fixed at 200
pounds of butter and one of the finest
' cows in the herd, a thoroughbred
i Guernsey that produced but 1I6 lbs.
V? was sold because she was not profita
t. ble to keep.
t Another cow, a thoroughbred Jer
sey, weighing 700 lbs., just closed her
first season with a yield of 375 lbs. of
butter, or more than half her weight,
on a feed of eight pounds of grain feed
i per day, composed of a mixture pro
- portioned, 150 lbs. Gluten meal, 100
lbs. cotton seed meal and 100 lbs.
coarse bran. This cows pays and is
.;v kept for future dairy use and for breed
' j ing, At the other barn we saw 20
I fat sfcers of the short horn
" breed. All "blocky," compact animals,
showjng an average weight of about
. 1400 pounds. For four years last
'.i past the fat cattle from these stables
. have been taken for export to Lon-
'.; don, England, because of the careful
I method of feeding and caring for them,
; ;;. and of course a nice premium is paid
for them. They are under the care
, of Mr. Patterson, the Superintendent
, of the farm, and one of .the best, if
k not the best farmer in the state. To
see the arrangement of these barns,
;, the method of cai ing for and feeding
the stock, and the economy that is
' ; practiced throughout would well re
pay any farmer in the state to visit
this place and spend time enough to
A study every department. On Tues
' day I had the honor of dining at the
Ladies' Cottage with Col. Gilkeson
'i and wife, General Hastings and
X daughter, Col. Woodward, Mrs.
J Spangler and Miss Holiday who were
I visiting the College with a view to
learning more about this institution
I that is so rapidly gaining an enviable
reputation throughout all. our Com-
' ' monwealth. When the Chairman of
. I the Republican Committee, the next
Governor of the state and representa
' tives from the leading circles of busi
' I ness and society, taice the time and
I the trouble to visit this institution
j and to learn of its work, should not
H our farmers feel sufficiently interested
I to determine what it is doing for
them ? Go up to your College, take
your wives, your sons and your daugh
. ters, see the three hundred young
y -i. men and women who are at work
. there, see the work that is being done
,j for them and by them and be con
- vinced that the College of yours is a
4 grand institution and well deserves
I your hearty support and co-operation.
; 1 Nothing will afford me more pleasure
1 than to furnish you any information
at my command at any time, no
I trouble to me, no cost to you
! Most sincerely,

THE 00LU WAVE.
The extraordinary warm weather of
the past few weeks has been followed
by a remarkably cold wave. Wednes
day of last v-eek was the warmest day
ever known for the month of March,
and less than a week later the Mercury
drops 60 degrees, and gives us several
of the coldest days ever known for
March. On Monday and Tuesday the
thermometer registered 18 and 16 de
grees in the morning and remained
below the freezing point all day. It
was truly a cold wave. Nor was it
loca', because it prevailed in Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, west of us;
and where fruit trees were in blo.som
or ready to burst, they will likely be
killed. The peach and cherty trees
suffer very much.

TRAPPED AND SHOT A THIEF.
A STORE PROPRIETOR AWAKENED
AT NIGHT LIES IN WAIT FOR
HIS MAN.
Plymouth, Pa , March 25. 2ie
stealing of flour from C. J. Boyle's
store will likely cost George Jones his
life. He broke into the store shortly
after midnight and carried off two
sacks of flour before he was heard.
When he returned for the third sack
the servant girl heard him and gave
the alarm. The proprietor dressed,
and, taking a revolver, went to the
storeroom. He concealed himself be
hind some barrels and awaited de
velopments. In less than 20 minutes the burglar
returned. He removed his shoes at
the door, and, entering, picked up
another sack of flour. The groceryman
sprung from his hiding place, and
commanded the thief to halt. The lat
ter dropped the flour and started to
run, and Boyle fired. The bullet struck
him in the back.
The thief fell to the ground and
cried for mercy. Boyle called the
police, and when the wounded burglar
was removed to the station house it
was tound that he was George Jones.
It is not known as yet whether the
wound will cause his death. Jones said
he stole the flour because his family
needed bread.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WAITED
SECRETARY CARLISLE WAITED
MR. CHAUNCEY DEPEW WAITED
It is a well-known fact that President Cleveland. Secretary Carlisle. Mr.
distinguished people attended
only one or two days each. Why they did not remain longer has been a profound secret until the present moment.
The papers have had a great deal to say about it and much speculation has been indulged in as to why these distin
guished persons should apparently care so little for ' -
The Grandest Exposition the World has ever known.
But at last the secret is out. They found that it would be impossible to see the Fair and learn all about the
thousands of wonderful and astonishing things that were there exhibited, unless they remained all summer. They
also learned that a
Complete Official Pictorial History of the World's Fair and the Midway Plaisance
was in course of preparation, and would be published soon after the close of the exposition, under the appropriate
and attractive title ot
THE ZMZ-A-GKEa GITT,
Containing over 300 Grand Photographic Views.
Therefore, being wise men, they decided to wait until they could have an opportunity of visiting and studying
the great Fair and the wonderful and astonishing features of the Midway Plaisance in their own homes and at their
own firesides.
It is tho Greatest, The Largest, Tho Most Beautiful, The Only Complete Portfolio of the World's Fair and
Midway Plaisance.
More than $50,000 have been expended in the preparation of this truly magnificent work, and $50,000 more
will be expended during the next few weeks in completing it. The MAGIC CITY was determined to have nothing
but the best, and we were willing to pay for it, knowing it would be appreciated by the public.
These Views are Original I Magnificent ! Wonderful !
It was reserved for THE MAC&C CITY alone to give the only great Historical representation of the World's
Fair and Midway Plaisance, illustrated with
Over 300 Superb Photographs.
Comprising an immense and wonderfully beautiful oblong volume, 11 x 14 inches in size.
-K)NE COUPON AND TEN CENTS GETS IT.-
THE MAGIC CITY is published in 16 consecutive weekly parts or Portfolios, each Portfolio containing 16 to
20 of these splendid original Photographs and Historical descriptions, by the celebrated American
author, J. W. Buel. The photographs could not be purchased separately for less than $1.00 to $1.50
each. Dealers charge these prices regularly for greatly inferior views of this size. Portfolio No. 1 is

"The Drummer Boy of Shiloh" was
played three nights last week at the
Opera House by home ta'ent, under
the direction of Mr. Fred. Weigle.
The attendance was small, owing to
unfavorable weather and the fact that
it was Holy Week, and services were
held in many of the churches. On
Tuesday night it was repeated for the
benefit of the cast, and the hall was
well filled. It is said to be one of the
best performances ever given here by
amateurs. The music was furnished
each night by C. P. Elwell's orchestra
and it was well rendered and greatly
enjoyed.
L. S. Winterste.'n Esq. has sold his
interest in his office binding to the
First National Bank for $16,000. It
included his half interest and the
share of Clifton Knorr which was
bought by Mr. Wintersteen same time
ago.
A notice in the postoffice advises
everybody to have their name printed
or written upon the upper left-hand
corner of the envelope, so that there
may be no occasion for its going to
the Dead Letter office. Get your envel
opes printed at this office. It will cost
but a trifle and saves lots of trouble.

The Lafayette College Glee, Banjo

joyable enteitainment at the Opera
House last Monday evening. No one
expected to find in them a first class
professional company of artists, but
for amateurs they did very well. The
instrumental part was better than the
vocal, still every piece was vigorous

responded to numerous encores. They
