Loving Tribute Paid to the Country's Patriot Dead, OEBEMONIES OF DECORATION DAT Exercises in Tyrone in the and by W. Pascoo, Afternoon Given to Decoration at Nearby 1'laccx. May 80, Memorial Day, is now among the best established holidays of the year in the United States, being observed with solemn ceremony and increasing interest in all sections of the country each year as the flower season ap- The usual program, with slight variation, was followed by the local Grand Army of the Republic post and Encampment of the Union Veteran Legion, except that the ceremonies were held at Tyrone in the forenoon instead of after dinner as heretofore. At the hour named, 8 o'clock, Saturday morning a procession in charge of Chief Marshal W. Fleuner and aids was formed on Pennsylvania avenue as follows: Firing Squad Post 172.

A. and other old soldiers bearing flowers. The procession proceeded up Pennsylvania avenue to Twelfth street, thence to Lincoln avenue, and on to cemetery by way of Eleventh street and Jefferson avenue. Upon arrival in the cemetery the various organizations formed a square and the ceremonies at once began, the Sinking Valley band rendering a selection, after which Rev. F.

L. Bergstresser invoked the Divine blessing upon the day and its work in a devout prayer; then a gleo club arranged for the occasion rendered a vocal selection, the G. A. R. ceremonies following.

During the playing of a solemn dirge by the band the old soldiers and Sous of Veterans performed the solemn service of placing flowers on the graves of the sleeping heroes, the roll of those buried Tyrone cemetery being called by Martin Burley, adjutant of the post. After benediction by Rev. J. J. Bullon, the procession reformed and proceeded to the academy of music, keeping step with the music of the band and drum corps while the national colors waved in half a dozen places along the column.

After the ceremony at Tvrone cemetery a delegation from the post proceeded to the Oak Grove cemetery and solemnly strewed flowers upon the graves of the comrades whose bones smoulder in that depository of the dead. The ceremony continued at the academy of music under the direction of Marshal Flenner, the baud first rendering a selection, after which Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs lifted up his voice in earnest supplication and prayer on behalf of the soldier and people generally. The glee club then rendered a selection, following which W. L.

Pascoe, was introdxiced as the orator of the day. The full text of Mr. Pas- coo's address follows: MK. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW CITIZENS We are met today to pay perennial tribute to the memory of fallen heroes, to whose self-sacrificing patriotism, we owe, under God, the existence of a united country. They are the dead whom a great nation delights to honor.

They are the men, who at their country's call, abandoned home and all it is; friends, and all they are; aye, life itself, and deemed the world well lost, if man might only die "For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his gods;" who, by their actions and their lives, yea by their deaths, have made it possible for us to realize in practical form, the language of the great constitutional "expounder" that, with us, there must and Union," and that they ar "One and inseparable;" who burned up, foreverj in the red heat of battle, the last page of the twin heresies of nullification and secession; and who preserved for posterity, unimpaired, yet purified from the stain of human slavery the federal constitution of the fathers. It is needless to relate to this audience the history of that terrific struggle, in which, during four dreadful years, the fate of the nation hung, balancing between life and death; from Sumter to Apppmattox, it is known to you all; the Peninsular campaign, Autietam, Chattanooga, Fort Douelson, Shiloh, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, the march to the sea, the investment and fall of Richmond, all are household words. Each page recalls sad, and yet triumphal reminiscences. How eagerly the bulletins wore scanned for news from tho front, how faces brightened or gloomed, as it was favorable or adverse; how, even with victory, there was ever the bitter mixed with the sweet; and when the booming cannon told of some great and signal Federal success, how its mimic thunder Served to announce to many aching hearts that their loved ones would never come "Marching home again." And how, when tho great conflict was over, tho atonement seemed not complete without the sacrifice of the cluefest vic- Contlmiecl cm Kiglith Puge. ItESULTED FATALLY.

Arthur O. Oohcen Died from his Self-inflicted Wound Tlmraday. Arthur O. Goheen, of Tyrone, who has been spending several mouths past at the homo of his father, J. J.

Goheen, at Rock Springs, Centre county, in the hope of recovering from the effects of recent serious illness, committed suicide shortly after the noon hour Thursday, by himself. A telephone message to his brothers, J. C. and J. M.

Goheen, of Tyrone, soon after the sad event occurred, stated that the unfortunate young man was still living and conscious and that he desired to see them. The message also stated that the shot would in every likelihood prove fatal. Messrs. J. C.

and J. M. Goheen left on the afternoon train for Rock Springs to be at the bedside of their brother. Arthur Goheen was a strong and healthy young man until last fall when ho had a severe and lingering attack of pneumonia which left him with health shattered, his heart being very seriously affected. Recovery was progressing very slowly, and it was with the hope of more speedy return to health that he went, with his wife and babe, to the old homestead at Rock Springs some time ago.

His continued ill health had caused him to become despondent and it was undoubtedly his despondency over this, that led him to the act which has proven fatal. The news is startling and sad to his large circle of friends by whom he is esteemed as a model and exemplary young man. It was shortly after 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, only a few minutes after his wife had left him in his room upstairs, that he committed the deed. He had found the revolver belonging to a farm hand in a trunk and with this weapon ended his life, tho shot being fired into his head. After the shooting he was conscious, and lingered until 4 o'clock when death released him from his suffering.

The funeral took place at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon from his father's residence at Rock Springs, the services being conducted by Revs. J. C. Kelly and T. S.

Armentrout. Interment at Graysvillo. The deceased was aged 29 years, 8 mouths and 28 days. He was born at Rock Springs and there spent his life until about eight years ago when ho came to Tyrone, and since that time he had been engaged as clerk in the store of his brothers, J. C.

and J. M. Goheen, in this place. On June 20 last ho was united in marriage to Miss Mary Gray, State College, and to thorn a little babe has since been born. Thus early is a happy home broken by the sudden departure of husband and father.

Also surviving him are his aged father, J. J. Goheeu, and five brothers, J. C. and J.

of Tyrone; Rev. J. Millikeu, of India, who arrived home from that far- off land only a couple of weeks ago; and H. G. and R.

at home. Tho de- censed was a member of Tyrone lodge No. 404 F. A. M.

He was also a consistent member of the First Presbyterian church of Tyrone, and despite his inj firniities he looked upward and forward with hope and faith to the God to whom in his last hours he so devoutly entrusted his wife and little one. To the last he clung to the comfort of worship at the family altar. It was only in the belief that ho was best serving those lie loved, as he had always unselfishly done, that ho committed the fatal act. In this hour of their gloom the bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of their countless friends. SATUJUJAVS HACKS, Com Hull and OIUH-II Ciothard are Kusy Winners.

The races at Woodin's driving park Saturday afternoon drew large crowds, though many more persons witnessed them from the surrounding hills than from the commodious grand stand.

From the Florida coast to Michigan's shore, From eastern entrance to western gates, Throughout the breadth of this Union of States, Was heard the rumbling chariot of war. Shot answered shot from Sumter's walls, Treason was rife in Congress' halls, Our flag was dishonored by rifle balls, And, to save the nation From degradation, Thousands of brave hearts marched Thousands remained to work and pray.

On the 8th of March, in '62, "Congress" went down, "The Cumberland" too. In fear of "Virginia's" heavy guns. The heart of the nation most anxiously beat, For annihilation of the Federal fleet Seemed only a question of rising suns. During the night of that terrible day. A strange little craft steamed into the bay; It came to came to And the dawn of salvation, To an imperiled nation, Began to brighten the farther slope Of a people's Union's hope.

On the 4th of July, in '68, General Meade defeated Lee. On the plains of Italia, no soldiers of Rome E'er fought with more courage and less fear of death, Than Gettysburg's thousands, whose latest breath Was a prayer for country and the loved at home. Northern heroes and Southern brave (Fifty thousand the records gave) Found final rest in a soldier's grave. On the rude headstone, The suggestive "Unknown" Tells of a treasure some mother Records one unit of Freedom's cost. In early December of 'C4, After three years of horrible war, "Tecumsch's sword cut its swath to the sea.

Tho North little knew what the hero was doing, Whether defeating or whether pursuing The foes of freedom and liberty. Forth there rang one loud hosari'na, When the wearied veterans reached A nation's praise foil like manna On the chivalrous, true, Bravo boys in blue, For a gallant leader had planned and guided, And a would-be nation had been divided. On the 9th of April, in '(55, Did the long prayod-for day arrive. Back in the constellation of states Was placed every lone and wandering star; Peace and prosperity in Triumph's car, Came as they will to tho nation that waits. Grant had led the valiant men Into the breach again and again, Had bearded tho lion in his den," And slavery's lash Had cut its last gash, Drawn its last its last groan, And four million slaves had souls of their own.

The 14th of April, in '65, Is remembered by many who yet survive. A great wave of sorrow deluged our laud; Grief sat as master in hamlet and hall, Where the cloud of despondency hung like a pall, For Lincoln lay slain by a demon's hand. "With charity for toward none," With a splendor of fame like the noonday sun, He passed from work was done. Perhaps he had sighted Great states re-united, And bound with a chain that, forever and ever, No treason or strife or conflict could sever. On the 30th of May, in 'C8, Was established a day to decorate The mounded earth and pillowed sod Underneath which our brave repose.

Ere Liberty's laud was freed from her foes, Six hundred thousand went home to God. High a Republic's gratitude towers O'er soldiers graves, where siunmer showers Keep ever green the grass and flowers. Till the last battle closes, Scatter Love's Lilies of peace, and garlands new. O'er the clay that once fought for the "red, white and blue." S. FLECK.

AN ALL DAY MEETING. Tyrone KeligiouH Workers lit Ironsville un Sunday. An all day meeting of the Ironsville congregation, of which Rev. D. Kupp is pastor, was held in the school house at that place Sunday, opening with the usual Sunday school session at 9 o'clock, with Superintendent James Stewart in charge, and an attendance of 96.

The lesson was reviewed by Evangelist W. F. Memiuger, of Tyrone. Preaching services at 10.80 were opened with singing by tho choir, and prayer by Frank Walker, of Tyrone. Rev.

John Stewart conducted the rite of baptism of infants and adults, twenty- four receiving the sacrament. Rev. Mr. Stewart preached the sermon, his text being "The end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience of faith unfeigned." Sixteen received the sacrament of baptism at tho afternoon service, and thirty-eight were taken into full membership by Pastor Kupp. Rev.

Mr. Stewart again preached the sermon from the text, "Ye Must be Born Again." The evening services were conducted by Evangelist W. F. Meminger whose text was "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to The sermon was followed by a consecration service. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity.

A fine new edifice is about completed in Irousville and will be ready for dedi- icatiou in a few weeks. Tho church is built according to Christ's is founded upon a rock. A blacksuake of the racer family, measuring nearly six feet in length, met its death Sunday at the hands of Councilman W. S. Meadville, while in the act of passing from the lot of a neighbor to that of Mr.

Meadville. Various chickens have recently been missing from tho coops of the denizens of that locality on Fifteenth street, and it has been a mooted question as to who possessed them without leave or license to do so, but the capture of this monster snake settles the question of who was the thief. THIRTIETH YEAK. DEATH OF H. C.

LOVE. One of Tyrone's Leading Citizens Passed Away Last Week. H. C. Love, one of Tyrone's leading citizens, a prominent merchant, and president of the borough council, died at his home on Lincoln avenue, at 11.15 o'clock Friday night.

Mr. Love was a great sufferer from rheumatism and had previously sustained a very severe attack of this painful ailment. Two years ago he was confined to his bed for four weeks suffering severely, but his strong constitution at that time mastered the illness and he recovered his wonted health. Two weeks ago he was again seized with a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, but though his illness was serious from the beginning, it did not become alarming until within the lost few days, and indeed last Friday the fatal summons did not seem so imminent, so that his death comes with a measure of suddenness that carries with it additional sad. ness.

Harry Clay Love was the sou of the late James Love who was for years prominent as a merchant at Loveville, Centre county. It was there that the subject of this sketch was born November 3, 1853, his age at death being consequently 42 years, 6 month and 26 days. He spent his early childhood and youth at the place of his birth, and received a comprehensive education at Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport from which he was graduated in 1871. In his college course he paid special attention to civil engineering branches, and was a skillful surveyor. Returning from Williamsport he entered his father's store, remaining there until the elder Mr.

Love removed in November, 1881, to the Love homestead near Tyrone, on the Warriorsmark road, when he also canic here. In the spring of 1888 he entered Tyrone mercantile life, and continuously since that time lie had conducted the large hardware store in Primer's block. On June 6, 18813, at the homo of the bride's brother, H. A. McKee, at Belle- fontc, Mr.

Love was united in marriage to Miss Mary McKee, the ceremony being performed by Rev. William Laurie D. D. Mr. Love had previously erected his residence on Lincoln avenue and resided there ever since his marriage.

Surviving him are his wife and five children, Helen James McKee, Robert Adams, Susan Beck and Jane Gray. His loss is also mourned by two brothers and three sisters: Hon. John G. Love, of Bollefonte; Winfield S. Love, of Carlisle; and Misses Lydia Emma and Annie Love, of Tyrone, To the sorrowing ones the condolences of a sympathizing community go out.

Deceased was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. In politics he was a sturdy Republican, and though never seeking preferment he was honored by his fellowcitizens at different times by public office. In 1889 he was elected county surveyor for Blair county, continuing in this place, one of honor rather than of service, until 1894. In 1894 he was elected a member of Tyrone borough council for one year and in 1895 he was relected for the full term of two years. Last year his fellow-couu- cilmeu honored him by choosing him their president, and again he was unanimously reelected to that position this year, holding it at the time of his death.

Mr. Love was a safe representative of tho people, alike true to the public in public affairs, as to his friends in private. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs at the late homo of the deceased at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Interment in Tyrone cemetery.

Tribute to the Lute H. C. Love. At a meeting of the Logan Hunting club held on June 1st, A. 1896, the following preamble and resolutions were passed: Whereas, Death has again entered our ranks and token from our midst one of our most honored and faithful members, Resolved, That in the death of Harry C.

Love our club has lost a member who was ever zealous in the pursuit of that recreation for which our club was organized, and who was ever true and constant iii his friendship to his fellow- members.

Excellent ExercfoeH Ilefore an Immcnge Audience in the Tyrone Academy of Mu- alc-Orationg, Essnyg, KecitationH, Music and Conferred. With the soft strains of delightful music, the inspiring presence of beautiful ferns and palms, the participation by all the principals in a feast of harmony and learning, the cheering words and earnest advice of those who had guided and directed the young minds in the pursuit of useful knowledge, and the interest and plaudits of proud parents and friends, the nineteen young ladies and gentlemen composing the class of '96 of the Tyrone public schools, were last evening granted their passports to the broader field of usefulness, the larger sphere of endeavor, the wide, wide world. Auspiciously indeed were the closing exercises with which the seniors of our high school were graduated therefrom and numbered among its alumni. Tho members of the class Avere Harry Ausou Piper, J. Lowrie Crawford, Marie H.

Launers, Thomas W. Fisher, Gertrude May Miller, Mabel Ralston Spahr, Mary Blymyer Reiley, Effie B. Bookhamer, Lizzie Grace Haslett, Virginia Miles Bouse, Bertha M. Smith, Minnie B. Stewart, Edwin S.

Africa, Marie H. Neff, Charlotte Porter, Drucilla Mae Ewing, ErmaE. Reed, Amber Maude W. Jones. The academy of music was again- crowded to tho doors, and again the pupils of our excellent schools acquitted themselves with distinguished credit, The stage was beautified with tastefully- arranged palms and ferns.

Opening the evening's entertainment the orchestra rendered Bach's "Concert Overture" delightfully. Misses Lanuers and Spahr in an instrumental duet, pleased their auditors, and to the closing strains of the march, the directors, class, their teacher and superintendent, and Revs. J. J. Bulleii and H.

L. Jacobs appeared upon tho stage. The opening invocation, asking God's choicest blessing upon all, was given by Rev. Mr. Bullen.

The class then joined heartily in the rendition of the chorus "Song of Spring" The salutatory of Miss Reiley was a delightful echo of the song. "This indeed the springtime," said she. "It is the springtime when we put aside all childish fancies to start out as men and women upon the stern battle of life. Some of us may attain a very high place; some may not. Instruction ends with the school; education ends only with life.

Our class as a whole is of a very practical and reasoning turn of niiud. Experience will be a benefit to us, for God delights in true and earnest thinkers. The future is ever before us, to be improved, to improve us. We here to greet you friends, to greet yon heartily, with such joy and gladness as that with which we welcome the first signs of spring." Miss Reiley spoke distinctly and well, her production one of the best of the evening. Mr.

Piper followed in a well rendered oration upon "Tho Time Element in Education." Time affects changes slowly but surely. Note the movement of the volcano, the glacier, the river. These are but hints that time is an. element in the evolution of the physical world. So with the mental attainment.

It has taken years to produce great men. Moses, Demosthenes, Cicero, Washington, Gladstone, are examples. Lincoln lived a lifetime to strike at lost the one blow that chrushed slavery and established true freedom. Time is the most important element in preparing man for his work. Patience must be exercised.

Miss Ewiug gave variation to the program, and delightfully too, by the skillful rendition of a pleasing selection, "The Beggar at the Opera," in which tho story amply verified the conclusions reached by the orator who had immediately preceded her. She sketched vividly the persevereuce of the poor girl who by determination and patience won the goal that at the outset seemed so far beyond her. The recitation was a favorite number, and its success was enhanced by the soft strains of music it. Miss Bookhamer's essay upon "The Advantages of the Present Ceutxiry," was a fine exposition of the manifold and manifest items of progress that mark the era in which we live. The hitherto mysterious forces of land and see have been subjected by man.

Wo have swift modes of travel combined with ease and comfort. Electricity and its wonders alone are worth living for. This powerful force lights our runs our machines; and no one can overestimate its possibilities. In educational lines, this century presents many Ad- vantages. Schools, colleges and sities all combine to make the pursuit Continued on Filth Page.
