Es Odd Fellows Had Big Celebration. Twelve Thousand People Thronged Belle- fonte on Wednesday to See Big Parade and Other Doings. Athens Select- ed as Next Meeting Place. The odd Fellows must have a special Deity that controls their destiny, else how on earth would they get such a nice day as Wednesday sandwiched in the spell of rainy weather we have been hav- ing lately? Even at that, Tuesday night's rain doubtless kept hundreds of people away from Bellefonte, but as it was, fully twelve thousand people were here to witness the thirty-second annual reunion of the Central Pennsylvania district Odd Fellows’ association ninety-seventh anniversary of the institu- tion of Odd Fellowship in the United States. They came here in regular and special trains over every railroad enter- ing Bellefonte, not counting the hundreds who came by automobile and other means of conveyance. in honor of the And nobody could find any fault with the arrangements made for the entertain- ment of the visitors by Centre Lodge No. 153, I. O. O. F,, of this place. The hard work done the past two months by ‘the executive committee, with J. Harry Eberhart as chairman, and all the sub- committees, brought the desired results, as there was not a single hitch in the entire day’s program. The bulk of the visitors spent the morning in getting ac- quainted with each other and looking over the town, and the spirit of good fel- lowship was manifest in all. The business meeting of the associa- tion was held in Odd Fellows’ hall at ten o'clock in the morning, and it was large- ly attended by delegates from all over the district. elected as follows: F. Losch; vice-president, N. T. Funston; secretary, Henry B. Eberly; treasurer, H. H. Blair, all of Williamsport.

The pre- liminaries are in charge of a committee on which are Prof. H. F. Whiting, of Bellefonte, and Hon. C. L. Gramley, of Rebersburg. —Hon. A. G.

Following Friday night's terrific rain and thunder storm it blew up cold and overcoats and warm wraps were in demand on Sunday. Notwithstanding that fact all the churches were well attended both morn- ing and evening. Most of them were rich in floral decorations and services appropriate to the day were held. ——Now that the big time is over for this week don’t forget the ball game on Hughes field Saturday afternoon at three o'clock between the Bellefonte Academy team and former Academy stars. Symms will probably be in the box for the visit- ors and others on the team will include Beattie, Jamison, Dillon, Negiey, Eisen- beis, etc. This will be a good opporturi- ty to see how the Academy athletes of today compare with those of former years. Admission, 25 cents. of course the spectacular feature of the gathering and the committee had so planned the route (as published in the WATCHMAN two weeks ago) that all the main part of the town was covered. The parade was only a few minutes late in moving, so that the big crowd didn’t have time to grow impatient. According to count there were just 1561 people in line which included about eight hundred Odd Fellows, 127 Rebekahs in twenty-six auto- mobiles, eight automobile loads of aged and infirm Odd Fellows and guests and twelve bands. As it appeared in line the parade was made up as follows: FIRST DIVISION. Troop L, escort, unmounted, 22 men in command of Lieut. Claude Smith. Chief Marshall S. D. Gettig and 6 aides.

Centre county has paid its share of the money but the township as so far failed to do so, and now it will be in for a bill of costs as well as the above amount. ——O0On Monday night at 8 o'clock in the auditorium in the High school build- ing Miss Cecile de Legarde will make an address about her work in Chambery, France, where there are sixteen hospitals containing three thousand beds. She will show lantern slides from pictures she has taken in the hospital. She is here on an important mission and hopes to take many supplies back with her when she returns to France in May. —Big days will always draw a big crowd but it takes something of high merit to hold a crowd night after night like the Scenic. But it is easily account- ed for in the high class motion pictures shown there as regular programs every day. The Triangle and Paramount re- icases today stand in the front rank of motion pictures and two nights of each are to be seen at the Scenic each week. Belliefonters generally flock to the Scenic and strangers in town follow the crowd. ——On the night of April 27th, Lewis Dumbliski and August Zinki, two young foreigners of Rush township, broke into the school house at Munson and demol- ished seats, furniture, desks, windows and things generally. They were arrest- ed and brought to the Centre county jail and at a session of court yesterday morning they both plead guilty and were sentenced by Judge Quigley to serve time in the Huntingdon reforma- tory. They will be taken to that institu- tion today, and their departure will leave Sheriff Yarnell with but two boarders on his hands. ——The seventeenth annual reunion of the Fifth regiment Spanish-American war veterans will be held in Johnstown tomorrow. The morning will be devoted to sight-seeing. A business meeting will be held in the G. A. R. hall at three o'clock and in the evening the visitors will banquet at the Fort Stanwix hotel. A number of Bellefonters belong to the association. Capt. J. Swau Taylor, of Johnstown, is president of the associa- tion, and Maj. John C. Dunkle,of Hunting- don, secretary. The office of treasurer is vacant owning to the death of Joseph H. Butler, of Altoona. ——While the water is still too high and cloudy for good trout fishing quite'a number of the speckled beauties are being taken from the streams hereabouts. Friday T. Clayton Brown caught two fif- teen inch trout in Spring creek right op- posite the WATCHMAN office, while some fair catches have been made on Fishing creek. One of the proudest lads in Belle- fonte is Joe Katz, son of Mr. and Mrs, William Katz, who came in one day last week with seven trout, all of legal size and all caught by himself. On Monday Matthew Wagner landed one which measured 25 inches. ——Mr. and Mrs. Shelton Custer, of Philadelphia, were in Bellefonte last Sat- urday and their visit to Bellefonte will undoubtedly result in improved tele- graphic facilities for the town. Mr. Cus- ter is vice president of the Western Union Telegraph company and he was here on a trip of inspection. He can- didly confessed that the present office in Bellefonte was not what it should be and he spent several hours in trying to find a more suitable location. In fact he would like to get a ground floor room as near the Diamond as possible and then equip it with proper furnishings, etc. While nothing definite was accomplished last Saturday Mr. Custer will return to Belle- fonte today or tomorrow and hopes to secure a room so that the change can be made at as early a date as possible.’ This is a move that the patrons of the Western Union in Bellefonte will appreciate, as there is no denying that the present of- fice and location are not what they should be for a town like Bellefonte. ——]Jasper E. Solt, the ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Soit, narrowly escaped serious injury and possibly death on Saturday evening, when he ran right in front of John Shugert’s car. He with some other boys were playing ball on south Allegheny street near Bishop about seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. Shu- gert drove his car down and stopped in front of the John Meese store. Just as he started a ball was thrown to the Solt lad and he ran backward right in front of the car to catch it. It was impossible for Mr. Shugert to stop the car but he did manage to turn sharply to one side was thrown to the paved street and by- standers thought the front wheel of the car ran over him. Mr. Shugert stopped the car almost immediately, got the boy and took him to a doctor's office and from there to the hospital. Aside from a bruise on the left side where the fender struck him and a few slight bruises and con- tusions he was uninjured; which was evidence that he had been merely knock- ed down and not run over. It should be a warning to boys, however, against playing ball on one of the busiest streets in the town. so that the fender struck the boy. He | PASTOR INSTALLED.—A fair sized con- gregation assembled in the Presbyter- ian church on Sunday to witness the official installation of Rev. William Kerr McKinney as pastor of the church. Rev. William Potter VanTries, of Altoona, moderator of the Huntingdon Presbytery, presided. Rev. Walter Fay Carson read the scripture lesson and led in pray- er, after which the formal installation services were conducted by Rev. Van Tries. Rev. James E. Irvine, Ph. D. of Al- toona, delivered the charge to the pas- tor. He told him first that it was his duty to take care of his health, and sur- rounced as he would be with beautiful mountains, athletic fields and tennis courts, and with so much pure water and invigorating air, he ought to have no trou- ble in keeping healthy. Second, he was to preach the good, old-fashioned gospel to his congregation and devote ' himself entirely to looking after the interests of his church and the upbuilding of God's kingdom within the confines of his pas- torate. Rev. Edward C. Reeve, of Clearfield, delivered the charge to the congregation and in starting out he announced that all he had to say began with one letter. First, pay your pastor. Not only pay him promptly but pay him according to his worth and the work you expect him to do. Second, praise him. When he preaches an able sermon or does any other worthy act, go to him and tell him about it. Preachers as well as men in other walks of life feel better and can work better if they are told that their efforts are appreciated. And lastly, pray for him, that his work among you may be sanctified and bring forth fruits ac- cording to its desserts. The services concluded with the bene- diction by Rev. McKinney. A reception will be held in the Presby- terian chapel this (Friday) evening, from 7.30 to 9 o'clock, to give the mem- bers of the congregation an opportunity to meet the pastor and his wife, and have a regular get together meeting. SNOW ‘SHOE Y. W. C. A. ORGANIZED. —The opening meeting of the Snow Shoe Young Women's Christian Association was held on Thursday evening. At that time it was voted to organize as a branch of the Centre county Y. W. C. A, and the county constitution was read by Miss Foresman, who explained the purpose of the Association. Various classes and clubs were talked of and more definite arrangements for them will be made at the meeting next week. A committee was appointed to nominate officers and another committee to draw up the by- laws of the Snow Shoe branch. Reports of these committees will be given next week. After a free discussion it was unani- mously voted to call the room which has been rented by the Association and is being beautified by the members “Com- munity Hall,” for the Y. W.C. A. is a community movement. The room may, of course, be secured for any good pur- pose for the use of various organizations of the community. Refreshments were served at the close of the business ses- sion.

He is about the only man who brings squabs to town and on Monday he came in with a four foot racer, which is a species of a blacksnake.
