CORNER STONE LAID,
>< |
Interrupted by Continuous
Raln-—Uontents of the Stone,
The corner stone of the United
Evangelical .church, at Centre Hall,
was laid with appropriate services Bun-
day morning. The continuous rain,
number of spectators, did not interrupt
the carrying out of the original pro-
gram, The ceremony incident to the
laying of the corner stone itself was
performed by Rev. H. T. Bearle, of
Plainfield, and the pastor, Rev. J R.
Bechgst. The sermons, in the morn-
ing and evening, were delivered by
Rev. Searle in the auditorium of the
Reformed church.
Considering the limited number of
persons who braved the rain storm to
participate in the services, the pastor
is highly pleased with the contribu
tion received which was voluntary,
the taking of subscriptions having been
deferrea until a later date.
Among other things placed in the
corner stone, which, by the way, is
over the arch of the main entrance,
were a Bible and hymn book, Babbath-
literature, and the following
publications : Missionary Evangelical,
I's Little Gem, Missionary Tidings,
K L E. Journal, and the Centre
Reporter.
The new edifice is nea er completion
than is commonly the case at the time
of the corner stone laying. The struc
ture, which is a frame, one story, is up
and under roof,
It was in 1873, August 17th, a most
beautiful day, that the corner stone of
the old church was laid.

A Letter from Shoop,
Hamuel Bhoop writes the Reporter
from Canton, Ohlo, as follows: My
sister, Mrs. Wolf, and myself arrived
in Canton last Thursday from Pitts
burg, where we had a short but very
pleasant visit with our sister, Mre.
Yearger and family. We had planned
to leave Friday for Lockport, Illinois,
but brother James and wife insisted on
our remaining until Monday at least,
#0 here we are and not sorry at all that
we remained, for we are having a
grand good time,
Friday, brother took us for a drive
over the city, which is a place of 50,000
inhabitants with beautiful homes and
many manufacturing establishments,
We visited a number of places of inter-
est, after which we drove to Monu-
ment Hill, to see the McKinley tomb.
We were much surprised to find it
such a massive structure, and so beau-
tiful, It is constructed of Milford pink
granite, and the stairways are of the
same solid material. The interior lin-
ing of the Mausoleum is of Knoxville
marble, and the sarcophagi of Winsor
green granite, with a base of Berlin
black granite. There are ninety-six
steps leading up to the monument :
half way up stands the bronze statue
of President McKinley, in the attitude
of delivering at Buffalo that message
of peace on earth, good will toward
men, which fate decreed should be his
last public utterance. I wish every-
body in Centre Hall could see this
monument, for it is well worth the
price of a trip.
Baturday, I had my first automobile
ride, and, say, it was great! At first I
felt a little nervous, and I got ready to

New Forrest Theatre,
Since the insuguration of advanced
Vaudeville in Poiladelphia, Klaw and
Erlanger have endeavored to have the
offering of each succeeding week one
that would, if possible, out-rival any of
their previous important efforts to pro-
vide the public with the greatest vasu-
deville attractions that could be gath-
ered from any quarter of Lae globe and
in pursuance of this policy the Forrest
[heatre will the coming week present
a program, absolutely outrivslling any-
thing of the kind heretofore seen in
Philadelphia,
Vests Victoria, who unquestionably
is the most popular singing comedi.
enne in America today, is the head-
liver of a wonderfully strong bill,
With “Poor John" and “Waiting at
the Church,” Miss Victoria set the en-
tire country whistling, humming
and siogiong, and now she has
two new songs to offer, “Answer Goo
Goo” and “Don’t Get Married Any
More, Ma."
Another big feature of the program
will be Cinquevalli, the world’s uopar-
alled juggler, the man, who before the
German Kaiser placed the point of a
pin on the rim of a small coin and on
ti e head of the pin balanced a billiard
ball, aud then held this remarkably
connected series of articles upright
upon his chin. What more need be
said to illustrate the deftness of this
wizard Juggler?

Fat the Prisoners to Work,
A law was passed by the last legisia-
ture and approved May 25, 1907, which
gives county commissioners power to
organize with the sherif! as a member,
a prison board whose duty it is to see
to it that prisoners in the county jail
shall be required to work. Preference
is to be given to work on the roads and
each man can be required to work
eight hours per day. All prisoners
under sentence can be required to la-
bor, but net persons awaiting trial,
Deputies may be appointed to take
charge of working squads, whose sala-
ry must not exceed two dollars per
day. The penalty for prisoners who
escape while at work is the same as if
they had escaped from the prison,
This law was put iu effect in Come
berland county, a squad of eight pris-
oners with two guards being put to
work on the roads. The example will
doubtless be followed by other coun
ties where people are disposed to com-
plain of the expense of maintaining
prisoners in idleness and comfort,
