The citizens of Girardville and num-
ber of distinguished people from Harris
burg. Lancaster and Philadelphia, among
them Governor Robert Il. Pattison as
sisted Co. r, sth Regt, n. G. p, of that
place, to dedicate its new armory yester
day The affair was very pleasing and
successful, but for some reason or other
there was not the enthusiasm in the town
that was expected. The crowds expected
were not there aud what enthusiasm was
manifested seemed to die out when the
ceremonies were declared at an end. Many
of the eating houses and saloons dis
played special banners announcing the
sale of Hot coffee and sandwiches -
but they, too, failed to draw a fair holi-
day patronage. AS early as eight o'clock
in the evening the "refreshmentn places
seemed deserted. Those who had been ex-
pected to supplement the dedication with
a good time generally about town had
gone to their homes, or were assembled
in groups on the pavements, comparing
in their conversations the success of the
day with that of previous holiday occa-
sions. The prevailing opinion was that
the times were too hard for season of
festivity.

Just in time to escape a heavy shower of
rain. At 6:13 p. IN. the Governor left
Girardville on a special p, q r. car for

The ceremonies at the Armory com
menced at 2:15, the Citizens Band of
Girardville opening the program with a
selection. General Louis Wagner then
presented the Armory to the company in
very neat and witty speech, which was
interrupted for a moment or two by Tom
Nolan, of Butler township political fame,
who wanted the speaker to define the
difference between the Mckinley and the
Wilson bills. General Wagner escaped
the issue by very amusing and diplomat
lc reply.
Major NJ. A. Gherst, in the absence of
General j. p. S. Goblin, who was unable
to be present on account of illness, re-
ceived the Armory in behalf of Company

the band and three rousing cheers by the
Assem- blage.

Governor Robert f.. Pattison was then
introduced as the Commander-in- Chief of
the National Guard of Pennsylvania. The
applause accorded the Governor on his
appearance was lattering, but light.
During and upon the conclusion of the
address, however, considerable enthusi-
asm was manifested Governor Pattison
said
Ny FELLOW CITIZENS This is an eN-
tremely happy occasion. The pleasure,
however, is Increased by the patriotic
sentiment which is manifested not only
by the presence of the citizens, but also
by the mothers and by the children.
When the flag that you have just unturled
was sent aloft / couldn't help but consider
that in its folds and its stars were repre-
sented the sentiments nearer to the hearts
of the people than in any other colors
upon the face of the earth. Verify we
can say in the language Of the distin-
guished orator
LET it rise, let it rise until it meets the
sun in his glory. Let the morning sun
gid it, and, parting, let it linger and
play among its folds"
IL represents so much. 1t represents
every individual citizen. 1t embodies
all that this building which has
been dedicated represents. In no other
country, among no other people could such
u building as this have been dedicated,
