FILIPINO BoLos AND FLAG.
Interesting Display of Relics in Park
Clothing House Window,

There is a display of Filipino relies in
| the Main street window of the Park
| Clothing store that is attracting a good
deal of interest.
The display is not only interesting,
but it is highly instructive. 1t gives us
a good idea of the means of attack OF
our warning neighbors on the other
side of the earth in the Philippines,
where the United States soldier boys
are having some hot fighting. The dis
play is a collection. of Filipino bolos,
which translated means as ugly a set
of swords and dnggers that you would
care to see. They are the property of
Captain Thomas Murphy, the local rep
resentatiVe of the International Corre-
spondence schools. Captain Murphy
took these ugly, but nevertheless inter-
estng. weapons of war from the Philip
pines after his two years service of the
hardest kind of fighting. They are be-
ing exhibited in connection with the
correspondence schools display of its
courses of study.
In the exhibition there are bolos from
every island in the Philippines. Most
of them are about a foot long and have
wooden sheaths The natives are deX-
ferrous and expert and, above all, feroc-
ious in the use of the sword-lke knives
and terrible destruction is wrought to
the anatomy of the American soldier
when the Filipino can get close enough
TO him before being wounded The
weapon from the Island of Moro, where
the fierce engagement took place a few
days ago, is much smaller than the
Others being in comparison not more
than IA big-sized dagger.
Perhaps the most interesting of the
exhibit is the Filipino flag. 1t is red,
white and blue, about three feet square,
There is IL triangle of white among the
three colors, on which there is rising
sun. This is symbol of the rising
generation, which typfies the men who
are carrying on the war. Three or four
crudely painted stars surround the sun.
This flag is rare, and it Is one of only
three known to be in this section.
These three We're brought here by Cap
tain Murphy on his return from the
Philippines,

A PROSPEROUS SOCIETY,
Washington Camp No. 200, P. o. s.
Of A., Which Is Preparing for It's
Anniversary Celebration Brief
Review of It's History.

OF all secret organizations of Car
bondale none at the present time is in
a better condition than Washington
Camp, p. o. S. of A., No. 200, of Car
bondale, with a membership of nearly
200.
The weekly meets that are more
nearly what meetings should be-
social as well as instructive of the
principles of the order are well attested
by the average attendance from week
to week.
The organization was effected about
IA years ago. Shortly the camp will
hold one of their enjopyable anniver-
saries in the camp room, at which time
they will be entertained by the band,
organized under it's patronage. A band
although young in years proved it's
abilities in the semi-centennial celebra-
ton of the city last September.
During the past six months the
camp had six to eight members on the
sick roll. All of which We're looked
after in the best possible manner. Dur
ing that time they had the misfortune
of losing two members by death.
Walter Rounds, having been killed
on the Delaware & Hudson railroad
anu JleliIy Derry WHO uleu Ol COLI
sumption. At the present time how
ever, all the members are we'll with
the exception of o. w. Gardner who
is improving.
OF the members to be accorded honor
for securing new recruits Edward IT,
Stevens is deserving of the most credit
having proposed as many as five at
one meeting; with +. II. Smith as a
good second.
The officers are I. II. Colvin. presi-
dent; o. o. Fidiam, vice president:
John Havencamp master of forms;
Bert Durgee, past president: George A.
Crosby. recording secretary: f. Fl.
Smith, financial secretary; Paul Ber-
ton. treasurer.
Mr.. BertOn is referred to by the menu
bers as the watchdog" of the treas
ury. This term is applied because of
his fidelity and his watchfulness. Mr..
Berton has filled this office since the
camp was instituted, fourteen years
ago, and it is conceded that no bet
ter man could be chosen.

SOCIAL EVENING
I, WITH THE HEPTASOPnS

Dinner at the Harrison House Last
Night an Eventful Occasion in the
u History of Carbondale Conclave,
ptasophs-Archon P. j. Pow
derly, of the Conclave, the Toast
master.
The fraternal and social spirit which
rules the Improved order of Hepta-
sophs was happily shown last night,
when the members of Carbondale con-
clave. and their guests, enjoyed them
selves in characteristic style at Il splen-
did dinner in the dining hall of the
Harrison house.
While all the gatherings of Carbon
dale conclave are a factor in fostering
the spirit which makes the Heptasophs
vigorous. last nights function can
justly claim more credit for being a
means to the end of the Heptasophs
than any heretofore held under its aus
pices. 1t was a rarely enjoyable even
ing, and it is certain to be a pleasant
topic of conversation at the conclave
meetings, and it is likewise certain to
be q factor in drawing closer the ties
that bind the members in their frater-
nal relations.
Characteristic of Carbondale con-
clave, it extended it's hospitality to
neighborng conclaves and outside of
the order. The invitations extended
brought as guests at the conclave's fes-
tive board, Hon. james ONeill, mayor
of Carbondale: a national officer of the
-Heptasophs. Of Scranton. national pro-
vost; William Corless, Scranton, ar
'chon of Electric City conclave; three
;district deputies, c. c. Donovan, ESQ.,,
Scranton; james Allen Peckvile, and
James White, Archibald.
The dinner was served at o'clock,
after a pleasant exchange of greetings
among the guests in the ante-room of
the Harrison house. The dining, hall
of the hotel was most inviting. The
tables ran the length of the room. and
were tastefully decorated with palms.
The menu was served in characteristic
Harrison house style. which means
that the viands and service We're all
that could be desired. The menu was:
Boullon. fish. roast turkey cranberry
sauce, roast beef, boiled ham. mashed
potatoes mashed turnips. sweet peas.
chicken salad, lobster salad, egg salad.
picked beets, olives. celery. ice cream,
assorted cake. coffee. Appropriate
washes went with the several dishes.
After the lighting of the Havanas, P.
J. POwderly, archon of CarbOndale
conclave assumed the role of toast
master in which he proved an eXem-
plary presiding officer for a post -pran-
dial season.
Hon. James J. O'nel was the first
speaker. He made Enthusiastically
graceful and happy speech. He dwelt
particularly on how the Heptasophs
kept alive the sentiments and finer
feelings in this practical and material
age.
c. G. Boland. national provost
dwelt on the work of the Heptasophs,
enthusiastically pointing out its results
since it's institution.
c. c. Donovan, who is never at a
loss for Il humorous story and whose
wit never deserts him kept his hearers
stirred while he was on his feet.
John w. Dimock, whose wit and
humor always illuminates the gather-
ing where either is heard. proved an
enjoyable treat for the Heptasophs who
keenly appreciated his efforts.
Addresses We're also made by James
White and James Acker.

is to be regretted that in the past years
some have attended these exercises
whose previous ill-breeding and lack of
a sense of propriety of things have
resulted in their disturbing those near
them by talking, laughing, etc. This
year IL is purposed TO have this an
noyance eradicated, and fair warning
is given beforehand that deputies will
be appointed to see that order is main
tained throughout the exercises or the
law will have it's course upon all who
produce II disturbance in any way.
Prof. John n, Watkins, the noted solo
list, of Scranton, is to take part in the
programme.

proved delicious and we liked 1t so
