Making Preparations to Feed Bi Crowd. : Sunbury, Pa., August 16.—-In an interview with Robert Davis, Treas- urer of the Odd Fellows’ Orphans’ Home of Central Pennsylvania, and Chairman of the Refreshment Com- mittee, for that institution’s big 20th Anniversary Celebration, which will be held at the Home, September 4th, Mr. Davis, in commenting upon the size of the crowd which will be pres- ent, said that arrangements are being made to feed ten thousand people. “We believe in preparedness,” said Mr. Davis. “We have ordered 2000 loaves of bread, 50 hams and other meats and 10 bushels of potato salad, with other fixin’s in proportion. We expect to serve a good satisfactory meal to the guests of the home, at forty cents.” Music by the Girls’ Orchestra, the famous Orphans’ Home band, several glee clubs and other organizations will be features of the programme.

To employers of labor I would say: “Treat your men right, treat them justly and liberally.” To employes I would say: “Loyal, efficient service is sure to be rewarded. Do not permit outsiders to influence you to act con- trary to your own interests.” To both employer and gmploye I would em- phasize the fact that each must rely upon the other for success; neither is independent of the other; they succeed or fail together. —=Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN. “w With the Churches of the County.

Johnstown, August 13.—The death toll resulting from the wreck on the line of the Southern- Cambria Trac- tion company, seven miles from here yesterday was brought up to twenty- six today with the death of Mrs. Judith Ribblett. Several other per- sons are in a critical condition. Cor- oner C. M. Fitzgerald continued his investigation today, but no date for the inquest has been announced. Fail- ures of the brakes to work is believ- ed by local authorities to have caus- ed the wreck. In addition to those killed twenty- one victims were taken to the Mercy hospital and twenty fcur to the Me- morial hospital, Johnstown, four or five of whom are soo badly = injured that they may die. The wreck was the result of the head-on collision between two South- ern Cambria railway cars between Echo and Brookdale, shortly before 11 o’clock Saturday afternoon. The accident is believed to have been due to the illness or death of the motor- man of the city-bound car, Angus Varner, previous to the wreck. Var- ner and the other motorman, Taylor Thomas, who was on the east bound car, are both dead, so that the cause of the catastrophe may never be known. The city-bound car was due to stop at Brookdale on the siding to wait for the outbound car to pass. In- stead of stopping, Moterman Varner’s car sped through Brookdale at forty miles an hour and plowed into the out-bound car just below the end of the siding. So great was the impact when the cars came together that the steel vehicles were telescoped for six feet of their length. Seats were torn from the floors and hurled with the passengers into the forward ends of the wrecked cars, breaking legs and arms and shattering skulls. The outward bound car was loaded with picnickers bound for the annual reunion of the Ribblett-Dishong fam- ilies at Woodland Park. Most of those on the cars were women and children. When the coaches crashed together glass flew in every direction inflicty ing many ghastly cuts. The noise of the collision was heard half a mile away and brought scores of people to the scene to aid in the work of res- cue. The cries of the injured made an agonizing chorus which echoed heart-rendingly through the valley. The wreck was a particularly hor- rible one. Bodies were ‘strewn around, minus hands, head and feet. In one case, that of the Lentz boy, the head was missing. Some of the injured were pinned in the wreckage, while others were thrown into a rock-filled gully near the tracks. It was an hour before aid could reach the scene, the accident happening in an isolated spot in the mountains. A score of physicians and nurses were sent from Johnstown by road motor ambulances, motor trucks and several pieces of motor fire aparatus were pressed into use. The injured were rushed to the hos- pitals in the makeshift ambulances in sight of thousands. The blood- stained bundles were laid on bed- springs borrovved from stores and some of them uncovered. To Educate Teachers for Continuation > . Schools. Acting on the belief that the teach- ers of continuation schools should be persons with practical trades experi- ence, the executive board of the State Federation of Labor laid tentative plans last Thursday afternoon, at their meeting in the Federation head- quarters, Commonwealth Trust Com- pany building, Harrisburg, to raise a $25,000 fund to provide scholarships at State College for prospective teachers. ‘The matter of raising the money is to be taken up with all labor divisions of the State that constitute the State b.dy and uader the preliminary plans the first scholarship will be awarded after the first $1,000 is accumulated. The scholarships will include a 2- year course at State College, costing $600—$300 a year—and will be awarded to the winner who partici- pates in competitive examinations. But no one city will be awarded two successive scholarships. So that a $25,000 fund always will be available to pay the scholarships, provision is to be made that within two years after the winner of a schol- arship is graduated from college he will be required to reimburse the un- ion for the amount contributed in his behalf. The idea of the labor leaders is to have the more brilliant of the young men who have finished their trades participate in the examinations for the scholarships. To that end the lahor men figure-that teachers who are thus qualified for the continuation schools will have had both a practical and theoretical training in the particular work that they have followed. Soldiers’ Orphans in Annual Reunion. George W. Givler, of Tyrone, secre- tary of the Society of the McAlister- ville Soldiers’ Orphans school is send- ing out the anncuncement of the ninth annual reunion of the students of the McAlisterville school, which will be held at Harrisburg, August 23, 24 and 25. The students of this fa- mous school which accomplished a remarkable work for soldiers’ or- phans in the quarter century from 1864 to 1889, are intensely loyal to the institution, and they gather in large number each year. Francis A. Fry, of Newport, is president of the graduate association. On the same dates at Harrisburg students of the soldiers’ orphans schools of the State will gather in the second annual reunion of the Pennsyl- vania Sixteeners. The morning of the first day will be devoted to regis- tration and renewing of acquaintance- ships. In the afternoon the McAlis- terville students will hold their busi- ness meeting in a local hall, and the White Hall students will have a meet- ing and entertainment at Camp Hill. In the evening there will be a general get-together meeting. The second day will be given to the business sessions of the Sixteeners’ convention. In the evening there will be a banquet given under the auspices of the Central Pennsylvania Sixteen- ers. On the third day the Curtin memor- ial, in honor of Pennsylvania’s war Governor, will be dedicated by the orphan-students to “Our fathers and mothers.” Much interest is attached to this ceremony. Mr. Givler is sec- ond vice president of the Sixteeners association as well as secretary of the McAlisterville society. He has been largely instrumental in keeping alive the interest in the schools and the reunions. Simple Method of Solving a Matri monial Problem. ' The late Colonel Anstruther Thom- son in his “Eighty Years’ Reminis- cences” tells the story of a remarkable marriage. Of the many quaint ‘“characters” whom Colonel Anstruther Thomson met in the hunting field none captivate the imagination like the brothers Lea- mon of Ivybridge—“two thin, delicate looking old men, twin brothers, sev- enty4wo years old, with white hair, very gentle and courteous in manner, red cutaway coats, white cords, black boots, caps and gloves; most respect- able and nothing slangy about them; they are so alike you can hardly tell them apart.” When past sixty years of age one night after hunting one of them said to the other: “I have been thinking neither of us can have much longer to live in this world, and it will be a terrible thing for the survivor to have to remain here alone. Don’t you think one of us ought to marry?” . “Yes,” was the reply. thought so for g long time.” “Well, do you know of any lady?” “Yes,; I do. Is there any one you fancy?’ On comparing notes it appeared they had both selected the same woman, the manageress of the hotel at Oke- hampton. “Well,” said one, “we have lived to- gether all these years without a wry word, and it’s a pity we should fall out at our time of life.” “I have ry her. The winner rode down to Oke- hampton next morning and was ac- cepted. All three lived together, and the wife nursed both brothers in their last illness and was left their money. How He Got the Moon. John Henry Maedler, the astronomer, whose favorite study was the moon, having learned that Frau Witte, he wife of the state councilor, owned a wonderful model of his pet luminary, spent years trying to gain possession of it. As her husband was living, he could not marry the owner of the mod- el, so he married her daughter, and at the death of his mother-in-law the cov- eted moon became his. BOOKS, MAGAZINES, ETC. On account of the scarcity of news print paper, which amounts almost to a famine at the present time, and affects all newspapers alike, “The North American” has been oblig- ed to discontinue the privileges heretcfore ac- corded newsdealers and news-boys of return- ing unsold copies, and will only print the number of papers for which they actually have orders. It is urged by ‘‘The North American’ that readers who have not been in the habit of placing a regular order for delivery of paper daily and Sunday do so at once, in order to insure receiving the paper without interrup- tion. If there is any difficulty in securing the pa- per locally, “The North American” will wel- come a letter explaining the reason. » New Advertisements.
