COUNTERFEITS WERE FOUND It was discovered yesterday that a large quantity of spurious coin in the form of nickeled pennies were unload ed in this city on Tuesday. Pennies are only a trifle larger than silver dimes and when nickeled, on such an occasion as Tuesday when there is a rush and money passes free ly, they may readily be taken for sil ver ten-cent pieces Who the counterfeiters are or who "shoved the queer" of course is not known now, although it may ha dis covered later. The spurious c.mi was discovered among the money i :i]ec:>i: by the taggers and the considerable number of nickeled pnnni'"- that found llieir wav into the box' " mdi' at- s that there WHS a large number of them in circulation here on Tuesday. The nickeling wan so well done that it baffled M.(i. Yonngiran, cashier of the Danville National bank, where the money was deposited, to tell whether the coins were composed of nickel or were merely nickel washed. An ap plication of the proper chemical,how ever, soon ate away the nickel and re vealed ttie cupper. Joseph Rearick, of Lewisburg, was a Danville visitor on Tuesday.

To comply with the order from the sovereign grand lodge the subordinate lodges each year must attend divine i service in a body on the Sunday near est April 2(>Sli. the anniversary of the I order. The largo body of Odd Fellows Sun ; day presented an interesting sight as they marched double file aiong the street. At Shiloh Reformed church 1 seats were reserved for 100 members of the order.

All the niein i bers of the order were finally provid | ed fo",but many of the regular church attendants were crowded to the aisles, where chairs were supplied, j The sermon preached by the pastor, the Rev.

DANVILLE'S IP DDI Danville has had some big days in the past, bat none that eclipsed Tues day in the distinctive features that made the day enjoyable and tiote | worthy. To be more defiuite, prob ably. it was as a lodge or fraternal event that Tuesday oocnpies the fore | most place with the chroniclers. To the Pennsylvania Odd Fellows Anniv | ersary association belongs the honor i of stirring up Danville as it was nev I er stirred before. Cantons, lodges and encampments, began to arrive with the farly morn ing trains;long before noon they were : all here representing the entire dis j trict embraced by the association I And such a crowd. Density is scarce -1 ly the word to describe the condition. ! Congestion is the better term. Very ! early in the day the sidewalks on Mill ! street were tilled to their utmost cap j acity. At many times the street from j curb to curb was blocked making it ! difficult for automobiles and other ■ vehicles to get through There was i rausio everywhere; bands in front, bauds in the rear, bands passing oat of Bight and others coming into view. The weather conditions, although not precisely what might have been de sired, yet were not of a sort to inter fere with the snccess of the event. The sky was overcast neaily all day. A raw wind blew oat of the east, which made it slightly unpleasant for the sightseers,although those in the parade found it just about right for comfort. To Hiiui up matters it might be said that the program, so fully set forth in these colnmus in our last issue, was t'ully carried out. The crowd of vis itors attracted to town is variously estimated at from s>x to eight thou saml people. lij addition, the entire town of Danville took a holiday so that dur ug the para ie aud immediate ly following it there weie massed on M.ll street a throng of at lia-t lifteen thousand | oule. It was g'lieiallv coil • ded that yesterday 'b event was one of the biggest that ever took place in Danville. HOW THE PEOPLE CAME. During the forenoon four special trains came into Danville over the P. it R. railway. One of the traius came down over the Northern Central rail way from the section north of Wil liamsport: one train came from Wil liamsport, oue from Miiton and one from Mt. Carmel and Shamokin. lu the four spenfal trains were thirty eight curs, a!i picked with passengers. The Peiirsy ran no specials daring the forenoon, bur the regular trains, which arrived at convenient hours, contained cxlri cars. The 10:2t> train tontaitied seven roaches and uuloaded over three hand red passengers at South Danville. The other trains alho brought inanv visitors t i Danville. Station Agent Clark last evening said that he had no doubt hut that his railroad had brought to Danville daring the day at least five bundled passengers. Thou sands of people came to Danville by trolley. All the cars, even the open cars, of the Columbia. Power, Light and Railways company were pressed into service. SEVENTEEN BANDS. Seventeen bands in all were in the line of niaroh. Cantons from Berwick, Shamokin, Williamsport, Milton. Re novo, Lock Haven and Danville,along with practically all the lodges of the extensive district, were in the parade The very few lodges uot in the line of march were represented by delegates A GREAT PARADE. Tlu: parade was oue feature, of the ; day that easily surpassed auv thing of the kind that ever took place in Dau ville. There were 2500 to .'iOOO march- j ing men. It was a spectacle worth go ing miles to witness The parade was probably viewed to the best advantage j from the elevated portion of Mill street south of Mahoning street. With out < xeeption the membeis of the ord er presented a line appealance aud one could not but ha impressed with the apparent worth aud manhood e.f the men Neatly and attractively uniform ed, without the least semblance of dis order, they marched over the long route. The same good order and ilis cipline was maintained during the su tire day. This was ail the more re markable considering the multitude of men embraced. Company F, l'ith regiment, N. G. P., acted as an escort and presented a very attractive appearance iu their dress uniforms Then followed Chief Marshal Dr ,lno. Sweisfort, Chief of Staff Thoiuas G. Vincent and the aides. ! The four divisions followed, made up of the different cantons,lodges and en carnpuH nts. The banners were very ; beautiful and along with the ' uni- j forms. especially those of tbe patriarchs militant, were much admired by the , vast concourse of sightseers. The rnusio was indeed an inspiring feature. In the long parade the bands , as they followed each other at regular intervals, discoursing choicest music, j seemed to be the one feature that was needed to crown the event with suc cess. It was after the parade, how ever, when the bands consolidated, and, with the Catawissa band as lead er,playing.marched from Bloom street up to the courthouse that the feature of music rose to heights that were 1 positively sublime. The effect ou the j ear was one that should have been j heaid to have been appreciated, while I the column with its banners and glit tering Instruments filling the street from curb to curbaud moving iu wave like undulations presented a spectacle ' that will linger in the memory for | many a ».• ■■ given an opportunity to vot" on express their opinion either for i.i against the proposed change; Therefore, li it resolved by the members of this association ti.at it would be nnfalt as well as unjust to make the proposed change, thereby breaking the ties of affection aud as sociation of years, losing to the mem bers the interest they have manifested in the orphans' homo aud requiring years to establish the satne fea'ing again iu an entirely new home. Resolved, That tho association does hereby protest agaiust the proposed change and that a copy of this resola siou be forwarded to the committee on the revision of laws aud a oopv be sout to the secretary of the grand lodge of I'e nusy Ivauia W.

On motion it was ordered that the usual contribution of #.'s be made iu the : j Orphan's home at Sunhury. In addi tion to this sum fU.oO were raised for the Orphans' home by pnssiug th- hat around among the members. OFFICERS ELECTED Ou motion the present band of ollio era serving iu Pennsylvania Odd Fel lows' association wan n -elected for the e.uaning year by ae. lamatiou MT. OA KM EL NEXT. On motion it was unanimously de i elded to hold the next anniversary meeting at Mt Carmel. Williamsport was presented but it was withdrawn. Owing to the cold wind prevailing, ' which made it exceedingly unpleasant for persons standing, the addresses at | j the courthouse after the parade were cut short. An enormous crowd had j assembled at that point, which was j j entertained with two well rendered j selections by the Shamokin baud. BURGESS AMESBURY'S ADDRESS | From the court hoase steps Chief I j Burgess Amesbury delivered the ad ! dress of welcome,speaking as follows: | t "Gentlemen: It is with extreme! 1 pleasure that I extend to yon a wel i come to our city. As citizens of Dan ville we are proud of onr town; our : town is justly proud of its Odd Fei ! lows. We sincerely hope that during OPENED SEISON Willi view The Dauville Susquehanna league team opened its season on the Sue uew , bail park that libb been built this spring by the Danville Athletic as i sociation Tuesday afternoon. The I name was with the Suubury ox Atlan i tic league team, aud proved an easy | victory for the locals to the tune of 10 j to 2. A large crowd was present for the ; opener ana the groundß had all the ap i pearauce of a gala occasion. The Oata i whsa baud was in attendance and i opened the festivities with tiie Na i tioual antliein, during which every body (ought to have) stood. Danville cinched the day first time j at bat by pouuding out five runs. Sun i bury never caught up. Two more in j the second, a single one in the fourth j and two in the eighth completed Dan -1 ville's tally. Sunbury was blanked until the fourth when Moorehead's two-bagger started a romp that netted ! the visitors one point. In the eighth j Aimes put oue over the fence, the first jon the uew grouuds, totaling two for Suubury. McClond pitched a fine game. His , total of nine strike-outs and two pass | es, while allowing the visitors but three singles giveß an idea of his steady work in the box. A number of good I plays were made,probably the best be ( irg Amiuermau's single hand catch in centre. For Suubury Aimes, the star I left lielder, was easily the best thing lon the team. He scored Sunbury's t two runs aud made several pretty I catches in the field. DANVIIiIftS A A. P.. H. O. A E.

Iu the ninety years of Odd Fellowship, a spiritual temple has been built, he said, which ohal- 1 leuges the admiration of the civilized ' world. PAST GRAND MASTER. Past Grand Masiier Rev. B. H Hart, who was booked for the anniversary ! address declined to make more than a very few remarks. He spoke concern ing the origin, the growth and prin ciples of Odd Fellowship. He declar ed that it would be unkind in him to keep the crowd standing in the chill ing wind, as he felt sure that pneu monia wonld follow such exposure. ! His remarks though brief,were exceed ' ingly clever and seemed to strike a J responsive chord in the big audience.
