exemplifying the Rebekah degree

to a perfect portrayal of its varied
phases.
There was no lack of material as
far as candidates were concerned.
for when the hour arrived to begin
the work p had signified their
willingness to become members of
this beautiful order.
The spacious hall was filled with
Rebekahs from abroad and mem
bers of Ardmore lodge. The de-
gree and floor work was executed
perfectly and at its completion
hearty and encouraging congratu-
lations were showered upon the
team and its competent captain.
Most complimentary were the
remarks Of Sister Stilwell H. Rus
sell, p \. G. of Texas, who said
that she had visited Rebekah lodges
in many cities in Texas. in Chicago.
Springfield and in Boston. yet she
could truly say that ArdmOre Re

portraying the work.
At the completion of the degree

were served to all in the banquet
hall adjoining the lodge room, ant

The beautiful lessons embodied
in this work were vividly brOugh
out and impressed on the novitiates
So ardently had they become at

PATRIARCHS AND REBEK.AHS
HELD SESSIONS LAST NIGHT.
Closing Scenes at the Mass Meetings
at Opera House Tuesday Afternoon.
ShortrldGe Makes Excuses-Today'
Work.

AS THE ARDMORETTE went to |
press last evening the Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs were listening to
speeches of welcome and responses
thereto at Kloski's opera house.
Following Mr.. Furman came
Police Judge Gait, who welcomed
the visitors on behalf of the city.
The judges speech was brief but
pointed. He declared he was not
the proper man to make the adj
dress. as he was not the mayor
nor was he an Odd Fellow. But
an Ardmorcite never shirks a
duty" said his honor. so l APP
pear this afternoon to extend to
all the visitors the freedom of the
city" After a few well-timed re-
marks by Judge Gait, Mr.. Chilion
Riley delivered a short address
on The Subordinate Lodge of
Odd Fellows" after which Hon
J. ). Arnote spoke of The En-
campment.' In the absence of
Past Grand Master VIM. l.. Blan-
ton of Gainesville Tex, who was
! to speak on THE Genius of odd
Fellowship, Mayor John r.
Shortridge of Gainesville was
called OH for a speech. The
mayor of the best town in Texas
responded with IA few remarks in
his usual happy style, taking time
to render an excuse for Mr..
Blanton
Then came the address by Hon.
Stilwell II. Russell, the prince of
Odd Fellows and the favorite of
the lodges in the southwest. Mr..
Russell's address was practical and
strong in its simple exposition of
the workings of Odd Fellowship.
He spoke of the scope of the obli-
CATION which Odd Fellows took in
becoming members of the order
Then he dwelt at length upon the
loyalty of the brethren. Many
instances of self-denial were cited
by the eloquent speaker to prove
the sincerity and sOundness of Odd
Fellows professions. Into the
home from which a brother had
been removed Odd Fellowship
enters and in fulfillment of the
pledge it comforts the widow and
protects the orphan-not by words
alone, but by deeds as we'll. The
speakers earnestness was marked
and the effect of his magnificent
address was noticeable.
Grand Master y. G. Turk then
closed the exercises with brief
response, which pleased his hear
ers and made the home people feel
that they had done quite enough
to make the visitors feel at home.
His remarks he said. were
made not wholly in response to the
words of welcome, but also in ac-
acknowledgement of the innumerable
evidences of welcome on every
hand-evidences of a general vel :
come, which no one man or society
could furnish"
The LOwenstein children enliv-
ened the occasion by interspersing
music at suitable intervals.

There was a row in the 18th over

Il good chance for at least two runs.
In the 9th another rotten decision

that Keenan, will never again figure

Gerlach's catch of the last man in the
ninth inning was a great play at the proper
time. All the roOterS were sweating big
dops Just at that time.
Some of the Midland adherents rise to re
mark that their club was meanly treated
when in Frostburg. Unfortunately for their
people and their club, the advent of the only
people on earth was too early for the peach
season and slightly warm for the pound cake
period. What Midland wants all the time is
an umpire who will know no other club
while on the field but the Midland, and an
arrangement by which Midland all alone
shall win all the games ANYTIME the people
OF the good and growing town of Midland
come to trostburg and behave half decently
their welcome will be as wide as the earth
and as warm as the sun. When, however,
they throw science to the dogs and resort to

be called down.
