Beg Your Pardon.
The reporters for the Daily Star
are having their own troubles In this
strenuous Old Home Week. 4 The un
usual rush of work In the office and
lack of workmen makes necessary very
hurried, very brief mention sometimes
of event deserving much space and on
several occasions we unintentionally
omitted items of real interest. In the
account of the lodge parade yesterday
the reporter jotted down each lodge as
it passed but somehow got so interested
in the beautiful emblematlo throne of
t,o nnoAii who nreCeeded the Dautrh-
Vters of Rebekah that he forgot to note
I the fact on paper. And for the omls
I gion of one of the pret'lest features of
I the parade, we most sincerely beg the
ladles' pardon.
C. M. Pifor. of Falls Crook, formerly
a newspaper man of PuBola. is in town
to-day.' He will witness th old
Mountain League game of lnwn ball this
afternoon and renew memories of the
'days when he saw the team play a
quarter of century ago.
Mrs. Joseph Hollowell and Mrs. E. S.
Vosburg, of DuBols, and Miss May
Mann, of Punxsutawney, are visiting at
the borne of G. M. Davis in West Rey-noldsvllle.

Great Collection.
Among a fine display of antiques in

is a pewtor te a aet. 325 years old. a cop
per tea kettle 2)0 yuurs old, a ua caddy
mado from mahogany taken from iin old
catlndi-Kl in England, loaned by Mrs.
Thomas Nual. of Jackson street; a
a pltcHer 200 ynars old loaned by Mrs.
Doyle, of Jackson atreei; one pair brass
candle sticks 170 years old, pitcher 300
years old, luaucd by Mrs. Robert Say
ers, of Jackson street: a ginger jar
brought from China by Commodore
Perry of the U. S. navy, given to Mrs.
C. R. Hall by his nclce; a veil designed
and made 05 years ago. Two interest
ing arltcles seen in this window are an

Breton is Master
Of His Machine.
Strapped to His Auto he Suc
cessfully Jumps the Chasm
Before Assembled Thous
ands. Before crowds that packed the street
from Frank's Tavem to the National
Hotei, Breton the aerial autotst, proved
himself master of bis machine twice
yesterday and gave a knockout blow to
the hoodoo that has b;on hovering over
him for six weeks. Sore, bruised, lame,
but undiscouraged, he makes his de
scents with absolute coolness and from
his niton no one would suppose that he
was fiiclng a terrible doath twice every
day of his life. ,
In many of the kvp-the-loop attrac
tions there is a mechanical precision
and mathematical circulation which al
most eliminates real danger. In Bret
on's case, all depends on the quickness
of his eye and hand in steering, and
even this fails sometimes, as was dem
onstrated Monday. The people of Reyn
oldsvllle are witnessing this week the
most daring performance given in
America today.
Arnold Reunion.
The Arnold reunion will be held at

one of the visitors In town today. Mr.
Budington, liko the other dozen or
more prospective candidates for county
treasurer, is a very pleasant gentleman.

Joseph E. Kirkwood, missionary for
American Sunday School Union, opened
a Union Mission Sunday School at Elean
ora shaft last Sunday. Rev. Klrkwood
held meetings at Alaska, Rose town
ship, last week and ten persons'profess

Team Failed to Agree.
MANY BRILLIANT PLAYS MADE

log 6 to 4 by Falls Creek In a fast and '
exciting game of base ball which should
nave resulted In a victory for the former

having the visitors completely at his
mercy. A combination of errors In th
third, aided by a hit and a passed ball
netted the visitors five runs and the
game. The features of the trame were '
Sibley's home ' run hit, Elsenhard's
pitching and the work of McEntlre,
who put up a brilliant game at third
base. The umpire had troubles galore
In pleasing the players and was severe
ly roasted by the team for dedisions

which proyed disastrous for Reynolds-
