REYNOLDSVILLE PREPARING FORj
A BIG HALLOWE'EN MASQUERADE
Professional Costumer from the City Has ' Been Engaged
' and Arrangements are Being Made for a Parade
and Other Carnival Features.
PRIZES WILI BE GIVEN FOR
MOST GROTESQUE COSTUMES
It is Anticipated that the Old Town will Swarm with Witches,
Ghosts and Imps on the Night of October 3 1st and the
Sheeted Dead may Even Leave their Graveyard Homes
and Squeaklmd Gibber in the Streets of Reynoldsville.

see that no mis
chief In done
If bo's around.
A T the meeting of the Halloween Club last Thursdaj' night,
Css- the offer of an Erie costumer to come to Reynoldsville
tober 31st was accepted, the sum he asks has been raised by
subscription, and there remains only the -minor
details of preparing the program and selecting the
prizes to complete the arrangements for the most
unique Hallowe'en celebration ever attempted in
Pennsylvania outside the cities of Pittsburg and
Philadelphia.
It will seem like a tale irom the wonderful
Arabian Nights this big masquerade they are
planning. All the imagination can conceive that
is weird and grotesque, fanciful and arabesque
will be pressed into service for that one glorious festival of .noctur-
nal revelry. Witches on their broomsticks, ghosts
f " in airy costume, demons dire and hobgoblins,
t v fairies, elves and genii will be abroad that night.
. In the brilliant, blinding glare of a thousand
f flaming flambeaux the prosy old town will vanish
i and become a mystical city of wonders, where
pwrv strppr nnrl pvcrv turn will hrinc to lipht a
y I out tob.2e" tht I new surprise and bewildering phantasy of illusory
I strange 8ighw. masqueSt The great of the centuries past will
r leave their tombs and walk in our midst that
night m all the splendor of their mortal days; and hundreds of
characters of history and myth will wander
around, restless guests in a city of magic. .
At the height of the rriad fextravaganza a pro
cession of the masques will be formed and will pass
before a tribunal of seven ancient judges, bewig
ged, begowned and learned in the law, who will
sit in solemn conclave and allot to the most beau
tiful or most ingeniously grotesque costume, the
prizes which will be announced by the committee
later on.
After the parade the evening will be given over to a carnival of
revelment. Confetti will be sold and all the mirth
, I provoKing devices usual aunng such an occasion
VV I will be in evidence. It is anticipated that a big
04 I crowd will be drawn to town from the surround-
'. I district ana if so, it requires little imagination
to conceive tne scene wnicn will be presented when
ten thousand people, in costumes beautiful, grave
or fantastic, bent upon mischief and fun, freed from
' 1 constraint and identity hid by the protecting
disguise of a masque, gliding around in the deceptive resplendence
of flashing flambeaux, surge and resurge in the great court of
y amusement. It will be worth coming a hundred miles to see.
No willful or wanton lawlessness will be tolerated during the
carnival, but every species of innocent fun, or anything that will
add to the beauty or whimsicality of the spectacle will be welcomed.
The competition for the prizes wiil be absolutely free to all, the
rules will be few and simple and all will stand an equal chance.
-..The costumer who is coming will bring with him one of the
largest stocks in America and from it can supply any costume de"
sired whether it be an historical character or savage animal
make-up. His catalogue includes the costume of almost every
prominent European sovereign of ancient Jame, as well as all the

MRS. CATHERINE
HAAS DEAD AT
RIPE OLD AGE.
Mrs. Catherine Haas, relict of David
Haas, died September the 27th, 1907,
aged 91 years, 3 months and 16 days.
Catherine Himes was the maiden name
of the dececaeed. She was born near
Shannondale, Clarion Co., Pa. She was
married to David Haas 73 years ago.
Eleven children were born unto this
couple; six are living and five have
preceded her to the great beyond. The
living are, John Haas, of New Salem,
Clarion county, Mrs. Catherine Hollen-
baugh, of Panic, Mrs. Eliza Troutman,
of New Salem, William Haas, of Punx
eutawney, .Mrs. Franle Vanhorn, of
Hawthorne, and David Haas, of Nw
Maysvllle. She is also survived by 64
grandchllden, 119 great grandchildren
and 46 great great grandchildren.
Mrs. Haas was baptized in Infancy and
joined the Gorman Reformed church
when a child. She was waiting and
ready for the summons and longed to be
with Christ, her husband and her loved
ones gone before.
Ninety-one years dear Orandma lived,
Within those walls of clay:
She felt the structure wearing out
And then she moved away.
Many long years she spent on earth,
Her steps were weak and slow;
When Jesus said, Vour work Is done.
Grandma was glad to go.
He took her to his home above,
Where all is bright and fair;
There Orandma plays the golden harp
And sings with the tngels there.
There Is no death In Jesus' home,
No sickness, naln.or night:
no sun bright rays need
For Jesus is the light.
there to shine,
There Orandma walks the streets of gold,
And looks o'er fields of green;
She lives within bright Jasper walls ' -
That we have never seen.
She seew the river pure of life
Like crystal, clear and calm.
Proceeding from the heavenly throne
Of God and of the Lamb.
The pearly gate stands open wide,
A vision we behold
Orandma Is beckoning us to come
And dwell In Jesus' fold.
Over four-score years, how long It seems,
But all these years have passed,
Now she has just begun to live
Eternity shall last.
And bod shall wipe away all tears.
No aching hearts are there,
Butmusic sweet forever floats .
On heaven's balmy air.
We know Grandma has met loved ones.
That once with her did stay.
Let us rejoice, but, never weep,
For Christ moved her away.
