Baccalaurcate Sermon.

lie DdCCdldureate sermon TO
the Senior class of the McCon-
nellsburg High School was deliv-
cred by Rev. Joseph V. Adams in
the Presbyterian church Sunday
evening, AS a basis for his dis.
course Rev. Adams chose the
words, "F'or we know in part. -
1 Cor. 1879.
In taking up his subject Rev.
Adams expressed his apprecia-
tion of the honor bestowed upon
him by the Senior class in invi.
ting him to address them on this
occasion. He admonished the
graduates that this was but the
beginning of their careers in the
stern realities of life; that the
course they haze just completed
eminently prepares them for
higher attainments, spiritually
and intellectually. We find that
Christianity has brought. out the
best in all stations of life. The
complete man is he whom we find
developed in spirit, body and
mind. Out of the little things in
life, which we but know in part,
come the great things.
The inclement weather during
the evening did not have the eff
feet of diminishing the attend
ance at this service. The church
was filed to its capacity, chairs
were placed in the aisles but still
a NUN Der were obliged to stand.
Rev. Adams said that just ten
years ago Sunday evening he was
member of Senior class to
whom a baccalaureate sermon
was preached-just ten years
ago, and the time has passed
quickly, he added.
The musical feature of the
evenings exercises was especial
ly delightful. A trio by Mr.. Geo.
w. Reisner, Mrs. Reisner and
Miss Emily Greathead, entitled
"Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide, "
was the opening selection. Fol
lowing was a duet, Enter
Through the Gates of Gold," by
Miss Gertrude Sipes and Miss
Greathead. After prayer the
beautiful soprano solo, "Abide
With Me-" was rendered by Miss
Greathead. At the conclusion of
the services the congregation
joined in singing "All Hail the
Power of Jesus Name"

Howard T.. Noble, former bur.
acs of Chalnbersburg, who plead.
"d guilty in the Franklin county
courts last week to eight charges
uf forgery and EN- bezzlement, was
>"ntenced by Judge Biddle, of
Cum berland county, specially
presiding, to pay fine of 800 on
each charge, all costs of prosecu-
lion, make restitution in full and
undergo Imprisonment at hard la
bor in the Eastern penitentiary
for a period Of eight years. In
sentencing Noble, Judge Biddle
said: "The indictments to which
you have pleaded guilty are of a
very serious character and they
indicate not only moral depravity
on your part, but a hardness of
heart toward those from whom
you have taken so much money.
IT. Is satisfaction to know that
iu your work of dishonesty there
was no participation by the other
mem bers of the bar. But in these
charges you have been isolated
and alone and you alone are sole
ly responsible.
"The fact that you are mem
Der of the Franklin county bar
does not in any respect condone
or mitigate the offense, but rather
is an aggravation of it. These
questions to be determined by
myself, in passing sentence are,
what is best for this prisoner and
what is best for this community?
"There are enough of offenses
here to sentence you to the peni-
tentiary for the remainder OF
your natural ll1e, II the sentences
were imposed cumulatively, but
the law does not contemplate that
matter of that kind should take
place, because there is always
hope for reformation, and | do
sincerely trust, Noble, that when
your term of Imprisonment IN the
penitentiary shall have ended that
you will come ont prepared to
lead a new and different life"

thirty three months will be de-
Quoted from his sentence, and un-
less the pardon board acts on his
case he will have to serve exactly
five years and three months.

BIG FOOT BALL GAME.
Princeton Beat Yale--Eiarvard Lost
to Dartmouth.

New Haven, Conn.--Yale went down
to defeat before the men of Princeton
Saturday in the annual football game
on the Yale field, by score OF IL to
6. The contest, which was one Of the
most spectacular ever witnessed on
Yale's gridiron, was stubbornly fought
throughout Until the last five min
utes of play, when Dewitt, the Prince
ton captain kicked a marvellous goal
from placement and broke the the
score of to g. the result was in doubt
Yale made one touchdown, from which
goal was kicked. Princeton equaled
Yale's record, and added a goal from
placement. At the end of the first
half the score was tied and close OBJ
servers looked for Yale victory, but
the New Haven men were unable to
get the pigskin over the line again,
his team victory.
While Princeton deserved to win,
Yale deserved to lose, for Princeton's
scores were practically the direct re-
suits of Yale's fumbling. Yale's small
score, moreover, was due to fumbling
equally as fatal.
Philadelphia.-In game marked
by fumbles and penalties, the Carlisle
Indians defeated the University of
Pennsylvania by the score of Is to g.
Cambridge.-A defeat more pitiful
than any recorded by the friends of
Harvard and one in which there was
not a feature to give comfort to the
undergraduates of the university, was
administered to the Harvard eleven
by Dartmouth saturday afternoon. The
final score was II to 0 in favor of the
New Hampshire college team. Har.
ward displayed great weakness.
