An Elaborate Program Prepared for
the Entertainment Of the Old

Another big crowd attended the Columbia

their bent.
There were many drawings for various
articles held during the evening, and some
remarkable examples of persistent luck
We're exhibited Z. II. Snyder won a hand

CHAIN contest was awarded those prizes. L.

name. When the drawing for it under the
new conditions was held Mr.. Fisher again

Brown won the silver-mounted banjo; Mr.
robert fellott drew the silver mounted cut
glass cigar stand, and the gold-mounted
buggy whip fell to Mrs. Robert Harmon,
The entertain ment in the gymnasium was
greatly enjoyed. There was an exhibition
of high and fancy kicking by Bob Elder

Carroll Institute Lectures.

Mr.. Robert T. Hill of the United States
geological survey will deliver free lecture
this evening at the Carroll Institute on
Panama, the American Isthmus." Mr.
Hill is remembered for his lecture which
he delivered last year before the Geo.
graphical Society on Panama and Costa
Rca, in which he treated the subject al
most entirely from the scientific side. The
present lecture will be of a more popular
character dealing with the people and Gus
toms of the country, and telling of the
great canal and incidents of travel in con-
nection with it. The lecture will be illus
trated by means of a set of stereopticon
views made from pictures collected by Mr..
Hill in his travels, and projected ON the
screen by VIM. L. Soleau.

FOOLED THEM WIra OLEO.
Spurious Butter Palmed on on Expert
Dairy mon 10 Win Prizes.

MEADVILLE, PA, February l5.-The
Pennsylvania State DaiIymen's Asso-
citation, which held It's twenty y-Lrst con-
vention here last week, is in hole. BY
vote OF 10 20 . the association sustain
ed tLe present oleomargarine law, and
in the discussion 1t was also referred TO
as "axle grease, "hooi juice" etc.
The association had offered six butter
premiums, divided into classes, three
each on one and fve-pound packages.
Th5re were twenty-iour entries IN both
classes. In order that the judgments
mig ut be i'm partial and we'll done, these
practical daIrymen were chosen as
judges: Prof IL. J. Watrss, Of the
Dairy Department, State College; A. l..
Wales, OF Corey, and John c. hcCin-
tock. Toese gentlemen judged the but
ter by point, and their report was read
from table almost as full OF figures as
Gn official election table.
After announcing their decision, Mr.
McClln.ock, the chairman, said the
judges took their own time in doing the
work. They sampled the butter, cut
ting chunks off the daintily prepared

allowed them To melt 90 their tongues,
talked knowingly about the grain,
whether IL had been sated in the grau-
lar form, and whether the buttermilK
had been washed out before or after the
milk had been removed from the churn;
whether the butter bad been colOrsd by
the Jersey COW, by feeding grain or by
using butter color. etc. All OF these
points were carefully gone over In ar
riying at their decisions. The prizes
were awarded and paid.
The second act In the farce-drama is
a little different Editor Palm. OF Mead
vile, has been making q warfare
through his paper against the law pro-
hibiting the manufacture OF oleomarga-
rine, and in order to test the knowledge
OF dairymen as TO the quality OF II as
compared with dairy butter be sent to
Chicago and got two samples OF 'oleo,
and entered thsm for premiums es for
butter from two Mercer county dairies.
The one-Dound package OF out
terine received second money
scoring 92j{ points, while the
pound package took third money
scoring % points. This evening
Secretary Thomas j. Edge, OF the State
Board OF Agriculture, teiegraphed here
TO know il the report was true, aud the
sal particulars were given him. Sscre-
tary ST. john, OF the Dairymen's Asso-
citation, suggests the probability OF Mr..
Palms arrest and prosecution for his
JOKE, but the general opinion is that the
association will De glad TO let the matter
alone.
