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.

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. Charles
Greevy, district attorney of Lycoming
county, was elected s¢cretary pro tem.,
owing to the illness of Vir. Eberly, who
is confined to the Bellefonte hospital as
the result of a stroke ot
tained last week. The a-sociation voted
an appropriation of $50.00 to the Odd
Fellows’ orphanage at Su oury, and se-

night it will be their disappointment.

staged See them at Garman’s.
——Miss Cecille de Legarde, who is at
home from the war district of France,
will speak in Boal’s hall, Boalsburg, this
(Friday) evening at 7.30 o'clock, and
will tell all about the Red Cross work in
that stricken land. Admission will be
free but an offering will be lifted, and it
is hoped all present will show due liber-
ality.
——A meeting will be held at State
College Friday and Saturday of next
week to organize the principals and
school teachers of Central Pennsylvania
into a permanent organization. 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. Morris is having a sub-
stantial concrete wall put down along
the side of his lawn abutting the proper-
ty of Clement Dale Esq. Mr. Dale's
garden is something like twenty feet low-
er than the adjoining property of Mr.

crete wall is being put down.
——John M. Keichline has rented the
rooms in Temple Court formerly oc-

expects to move there from the Garman
building about the first of May. He will
occupy one of the rooms and his daugh-
ter, Miss Anna Keichline, the architect,
will move into the other room from the
room she now occupies on the third floor
of Temple Court.
——Easter day was not very propitious
for a display of new finery. 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

Fellows, 127 Rebekahs in twenty-six auto-
mobiles, eight automobile loads of

——The Attorney General's depart-
ment at Harrisburg last Thursday
brought suit against Snow Shoe township
to recover $4,059 due on state road con-
tracts. 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.

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.
MEETING OF ROAD AND BRIDGE VIEW-
ERS.—A meeting of the board of road
and bridge viewers will be held in the
grand jury room at the court house on
Monday, May 15th, to take testimony on
the following:

township, from the Brush valley road
near the Logan school house to a point
on the road near the Penn’s cave house.

——Farmer George Stevenson, of Buf-

lead the season just a few days. His
garden is always a little earlier than his
neighbors. In the fall he always brings
fruit in regular order to market just a
few days before the other fellow’s is fit
to bring. 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. The rep-
tile, which is about an inch thick, has
been on exhibition this week in the win-
dow of Parrish’s drug store, and has
been attracting considerable attention.
