Birthday Surprise Party.

Notary Public Albert Reynolds, who
was three score years old April %, 1902.
was given surprise party on the even
ing OF his birthday anniversary. AL
bert's helpmate was responsible for the
party, but she was equal for the occasion
and performed her part so judiciously
that Alb. never suspected that there
was surprise party being worked up
for him, and when about thirty-five Of
his male friends, representing most all
the professions in town, stepped into
his parlor at $50 Wednesday evening
Alb was greatly surprised, and could
not grasp the situation until some per-
son mentioned the fact that April 23rd
was his birthday. The evening was
pleasantly spent in playing games and
listening to old time violin music. The
musicians OF the evening were David
Reynolds, "Uncle" Ed ID. Seeley, o. F..
Smith and the host. Miss Sue Reyn-
olds played piano accompaniment. The
old tunes that the old time violinists
played for dances fifty years ago are
just as inspiring as the new tunes of the
present day. The old tunes renewed
"Uncle" Eds youth and he sang a solo
without solicitation. Alta reasonable
hour tables were spread and the guests
we're served with an excellent repast.
The layout was elaborate and fine.
There was one feature Of this surprise
party that was unusual, and that was
that there were no presents given. Alb.
would certainly have been the recipient
OF very handsome present had it not
been that his wife requested that no
presents be given. II was approaching

guests said good night and wished Alb.

Judge Jenks Died Friday.

Judge William =. jerks died at his
home in Brookville on Friday, April
%, 1902. The announcement OF his
death was flashed over electrified wires
and passed with suppressed emotions
from mouth to mouth among his neigh
bors and friends. This sad intelligence
awakened in the memory OF our oldest
Inhabitants trains OF "reminiscences
which link the early history of our
county with the present, and In the
minds of all feelings OF veneration and
respect which are inspired only by lives
of good and great men. Born at PUNK
sutawney on May 2lst, 1922, the span OF
his eventful life embrace the years of
primeval planting and modern growth
and development in our county In
1915 he was admitted to the bar. In
lS67-S he served with distinction his
constituency in the State legislature.
In 1871 he was elected Judge of the 18th
judicial district, composed of the coun-
ties of Clarion, Jefferson and Forest,
and during term OF ten years he won
place of eminence among the jurists OF
this state. Along with Hon. I. G. Cor
don he set the pace in the county for
moral character and professional honor
and integrity, and his brothers in the
profession may we'll strive to emulate
his example. The influence OF his long
life has been potent factor in the in
spiration CT high ideals of life among
men. AS tribute of respect to his
memory and honor, the court in session
this week adjourned at three O'Clock on
Monday afternoon and Judge Reed with
the members Of the bar and visiting at
torneys from neighboring counties, at
tended the funeral in a body. His in
terment was conducted by the Masonic
fraternity, and its impressive service at
the tomb was never more appropriate.

still less number leave behind them a
life record so replete with deeds worthy
OF emulation, He was a lifelong men,

Living Scenes Exhibited.

Nothing in the moving picture line
now before the public compares with
the Lyman II. Howe show which will
be seen at Assembly hall on Monday
evening OF next week, May 5th. A
taking feature of Mr.. Howe's policy is
that the same pictures are never given
at two engagements in the same place.
Although previous engagements here
have contained pictures that an audience
would be glad to see again, Mr. Howe
will adhere to his rule and give an en-
tirely new program, embracing pictures
secured at great cost and photographed
from events that have attracted world.
wide interest. II Is no wonder that Mr..
Howe always plays to crowded houses.
The moving picture machine has come
to be great institution. 1t brings the
living scenes Of the worlds greatest
events before your very eyes in man
ner almost as satisfactory as II one had
been present at the reality. While
most other exhibitors content them
selves with showing cheap and unim-
portant pictures, Mr.. Howe secures the
pick of the market, regardless Of the
cost, and puts them on in manner that
challenges admiration, each picture be-
ing accompanied by appropriate sounds.
