Our people can boast Of having the
boss bycicle riders in the c0unty--R. H.
Schonen and A. F. Snyder. These gentle
men ride this refractory steed with com
parative ease combined with extraordinary
sWiltucss. IT Is no Unusual thing for them
to mount ther bycicle Ill the bycice wont
mount them-and make a journey of 25 or
30 miles. One day last week they started
from here and rods clear through to Beth
lehem. AT Rittersvlle Park, betwixt All
lentown and Bethlehem, they met some 25
young men who were indulging in the same
pastme, and Of course, the crowd was GO
ing to have a time at the expense OF what
they considered amateurs = Snyder and
Sehonen. The word to start was given and
instead Of the Weisspnrt byciclists being
left the crowd was lett The scale being
turned the laugh was on the other side
OF course Aaron and Bob wear their honors
meekly, but nevertheless wear them tri-
umphantly. Hater--The Bethlehem By
cicla Club has extended challenge to Sny-
der and Schonen to test their superior or
inferior capacity as Bycicle riders, with two
members OF the club Time ami place is
not known as yet. We await the result
but still, for pride of home. we are willing
to bet a little something on Weissport.
On Friday evening last n delegation
from Camp l0S P. 0. $. of A., of Manch
Chunk, was in town for the purpose of or
canizing lodge at this place. Ia this they
were successful, for on Monday evening Il
preliminary meeting was held by those who
are to be chartersts, and a temporary or
ganization was formed. The prospects for
a good, healthy Camp in our midst, is very
promising. u will contain, it those at the
head of It are to be taken as criterion, the
substantial material of the community.
The Order 10 purely American, as its name
indicates. Ii is an order not partisan in its
mission, but political in its nature. II is
political in as much as 1t believes IN the
propagation Of pure American principles
and the education Of its members s. that
they may utelligently, iearlesslv aud hon
estly exercise that great boom the right and
privilege Of citizenship. Other cardinal
principles are the maintenance and support
of the public school systems civil aud rc
ligious liberty opposition tn union of
church and state, and the amelioration OF
superstition, bigotrY and prejudice wherever
and in whatever form il may exist. While !
the order is purely American it is not per. |
seoutye or proscriptiYe tor prescriptions |
sake. Upon this point it says, "Beieving |
that the American born naturally feel most |
attached to their native laHd, We, therefore,
consider that while working hand in hand |
with that class Of foreigners W no believe in |
free education and the Tree principles ol our
government, we do not con, eYe their al
mission to our order either necessary or ad- |
visable, particularly as there are other KIN
dred organizations in which they can do
good in their own way" None can say
aught against this. We trust, and there are
good prospects, that this order will become
a substantial factor in our community.
There are now some thirty Ave or farly sp
plicants. EXTRA.
