oldsville Council Starts with Forty
| Five Charter Members.
Reynoldsville Council No. 935, knights
| of Columbus, was instituted Sunday,
February 9Th, 1905, in a manner be-
fitting the exalted and benevolent char
| acter of that order. Commencing at
900 a, m. with the attendance of the
| Reynoldsville members at High Mass in
st. Mary's Catholic church, celebrated
by Rev. Father I. Brady, the program
as previously arranged was carried out,
| delayed slightly however by the failure
of the special train bringing delegations
from Kane, ST. Marys, Ridgway and
Dubois to arrive as early as expected.
Altogether there were about six hum
dred visiting knights and candidates il
town. There were Knights here from
four other states beside our own state,
New York, New Jersey, West Virginia
and Ohio.
Three degrees Of knighthood were
exempltied to the candidates during
the day in the new l. o. o. F. hall, the
first at II, 80 in the morning by Dubois
Council No, 519, the second at 80 p. m.
by Punxsutawney Council No. 452, and
the third by State Deputy p. H. Lynch
and staff from Philadelphia at 800
o'clock. The local council was insti-
tuted with forty-fve charter members,

Sailed Peanuts

Though there were at least six hundred
persons present, all were quickly placed
and served by young ladies of the Cath
olic church, and those having the affair
in charge deserve praise for the excel
lent arrangements. While the guests
were at the tables Kaufman's orchestra
rendered number of selections.
Owing to the delay in reaching the
banquet hail. it was unfortunately
necessary to shorten the toasts and
speeches which followed in order that
visiting knights might catch their
train. Lawyer Clement w. Flynn, act
ing as toastmaster, introduced the dis
tinguished gentlemen who spoke with
brief and appropriate remarks. The
address of welcome by Rev. Father P.
j. Lynch, of Reynoldsville, was fol-
lowed by the toast, "Our Order" by
State Deputy p H. Lynch, of Philadel-
phia. He paid tribute to the nobility
of knighthood and the ties which bound
all in fraternal love, and pointed with
pride to the rapid growth of the order,
which, young as it is, has over 10000
members in the United States with
councils in every state in the union.
The Reynoldsville council is the seven
tieth or seventy-frst to be organized in
Pennsylvania. District Deputy P. J.
Sweeney, to whose efforts credit is due
for the organization Of the local council,
followed with few extempore remarks
urging continued interest in the order.
j. j. Lynch, of St. Marys Council, and ].
l. Brockbank, of Dubois Council, re-
sponded to the toasts, "Knighthood in
America" and The Catholic American. {"
