MILTON, Pa., April 28. --The nine-teenth reunion of the Anniversary Association of Pennsylvania Odd Fellows to-day brought to Milton twenty thousand visitors. It was the largest day in the town’s history. The parade was the most imposing ever held by the association, and fully twenty- five hundred Odd Fellows marched to the music of their bands. At the annual session of the assoeiation these officers were re-elected : President, William Kiess; secretary, H. B. Eberly; treasurer H. C. Kreamer, Williamsport -was selected as the next place of meeting. After the parade an address of welcome was delivered by Chief Burgess Wildun Scott and the response’by Professor A. R. Rutt, of Gettysburg Lodge, No. 124. The address ¢! welcome on behalf of the Odd Fellows was made by W. D. Snyder, of Mutual Lodge, No. 84, and the response by William H. Kiess, president of the Pennsylvania Odd Fellows’ Association. Addresses were also made by Grand Mas- ter Edwin L. Ritter, Grand Marshal Grant A. McGlatherty and Grand Secretary Joseph H. Mackey, the latter three of Philadelphia. A special session of the Grand Lodge was held in the evening for admission of Past Grands to the Grand Lodge, over one hun- dred being passed. At the close of this special session there was a session open to Scarlet degree members for exemplifying the unwritten work. This closed the most successful meeting ever held in this dis- trict, and showed the healthy growth since the reunion in Milton seventeen years ago. Major William H. Straub was chief mar- shal and L. H. Gingrich chairman of the entertainment committee for to-day’s ex- ercises. Smullton, Miss Emma Walizer Sundayed with her parents. Chas. Geary was a guest of his parents over Sunday.

Illingworth is arranging to move his family to Tiounesta, where he has accepted a call.
