The services in the Presbyterian church were held in the morning. The church had been handsomely festoon- ed with flowers about the altar, and with daisies and fern which formed a pleasing eflect. The program for the occasion was composed of excellent music, responsive readings, recitations, in all of which the little ones were prominent. The music was furnished by the school under the direction of Prof. E. W. Crawford. A solo by Miss Brisbane was a most pleasing feature in the program. Rev. Schuyler deliv- ered a short address appropriate to the day, and a liberal collection was given for Sunday school missions, The church was filled and the large audi- ence was well pleased with the service. In the Reformed church the exercis- es were held in the evening. Their church was beautifully decorated with flowers and potted plants, Inthe cen- ter of the altar a beautiful white cross was erected. The program, consisted of musie, responsive reading, ete., was well rendered by the school. CENTRE HALL, PA., THURS.

Tragic End of a Little Romance, A sudden death at Bellefonte last Thursday, proved a tragic climax to a rather romantic affair. Last summer William A Sloat, a widower, 31 years of age, while working at his trade as cigar maker at Elizabethtown, Lan- caster county, saw an advertisement in & matrimonial paper of ‘Husband wanted” by a yonng girl of Milesburg, | this county. Sloat answered the ad- | vertisement, a correspondence follow- ed and last November Sloat came to Milesburg, met the young woman and the two were married. After a week Sloat went home, leaving his bride with her parents. Saturday he came to Milesburg to take his young wife home. After a brief visit with her family, Sloat complained of not feel- ing well and went to Bellefonte to- ward evening to see a physician. He was treated, started home, became un- conscious at the railroad depot and was carried to a near-by hotel, where he died at two o'clock in the morning. A post mortem revealed the cause of death as heart failure superinduced by internal hemorrhages. fn ——————— A Massive Bridge.
