CELEBRATED
ANNIVERSARY

Beaver Lodge No. 1872, Knights of
Pythias, celebrated the 3Sth anniver-
sary of the order on Saturday night.
A grand banquet was served at the
City hotel, in addition to which the
occasion was marked by the presence
of large delegation of brethren from
Shamokin.
The anniversary exercises were held
in the newly renovated castle hall on
Mill street, refurnished, repainted and
decorated at much cost, about month
ago. The members are very proud of
their new home, which was also very
much admired by the visiting delega-
tion, the unanimous verdict being that
no lodge of the order has more
beautiful castle hall than Beaver
Lodge No. 1872.
The reports show that the lodge is
in an excellent condition in every re-
spect. There is a membership of 40,
made up of young or middle aged men.
It is true, many of the members have
removed from town, yet they have
practically all retained their member
ship in Beaver lodge. Financially the
| lodge rests on very firm foundation.
1t has large sum of money invested,
the interest accruing being sufficient
to pay all running expenses, to meet
every call that arises and to leave a
balance beside.
The meeting Saturday evening was
| opened in due form, Deputy Grand
| Chancellor Jacob Fischer presiding.
| After number of addresses by mem
| bers and visitors the rank of knight
was conferred in the amplified form
by drilled team from Shamokin.
After adjournment the entire body
| consisting of over one hundred knights,
marching two a breast, proceeded to
the City hotel, where they partook of
a sumptuous banquet, gotten up in ex-
cellent style by landlord Snyder. Dur
| ing the meal the knights were euter-
tanned by our chief burgess. W. J.
| Rogers, who is member of the order.
The entertainment was continuous
one, beginning at Z 80 o'clock and
lasting until the hour of midnight
The meeting on the whole was de-
cided success, promoting warm frat
ernal relation between the brethren of
our own town and Shamokin. 1t was
especially beneficial to the young men
of the local lodge. who are forming a
team to confer the amplified form Of
the rank of knight. The drilled team
from Shamokin was especially profci-
ent and its work was much admired.
Indeed of the visitors and the men,
bers of the local lodge alike, it may be
said that they measure up to the full
standard of American manhood; that
they are splendid fellows socially and
are credited with living up to the OBJ
| legations of their order.
The Shamokin brethren. are men,
| bers of Tobn Lodge No. 1856. They
drove over to this city in a four-in-
hand hack, remaining over night The
visitors were as follows:
| Martin d. Markle, David NJ. Mowr-
er, Edward Delbaugh, Charles Del
baugh, William H. Delbaugh. X. H.

Wants Salary Reduced.

The congregation of the Baptist
church at Girardsville refused to ac-
cept the resignation of their pastor,
Rev. H. A. Barton, or to lower his
salary. Having in mind the oft repest-
ed statement that the minister works
for money the same as other people he
endeavored to show that he was in
terested in the church from other than
financial stand point and requested
that S75 be taken off of his annual sal

To Organize Young Ladies' Club,


A movement is on foot by one of the
olergymen Of Bellefonte to organize a
young ladies club. The club will in
clude all young ladies working in the
homes of Bellefonte. the factories,
clerks, stenographers, girls of leisure
and others. Departments will be nice
ly furnished for reading, writing and
games. 1t is said dance hall will be
included among the pleasures the
ladies will be able to enjoy, where
they can ask their gentlemen friends
to come and "Waltz me around agai n
Willie"
In commenting on this novel move,
the Bellefonte News says: "It is sin
cerely hoped that the movement will
pan out all right for in Bellefonte we
have some girls who are seen con-
stantly on the street from morning un-
til night, and perhaps this institution
will be the means of making them
better women.
1T is the first time anything of the
kind has ever been attempted here and
it is question as to whether or not
it will prove success. In Bellefonte
we have a dozen different classes of
girls. and we admit that some are not
as good as they should be and are talk
ed about, run down and stunned, but
these same girls have souls to save as
we'll as the higher class ones. Now
when all these women get together in
a social way in the club rooms and are
on friendly terms, will they still be
kind and friendly when they meet on
the streets and in public places? If so
will be failure"

When the full story of the hunt for
evidence against Boodler Ruef is told
it will be found that the Supervisors
are not the only victims in the plot
who have been talking. When the Po-
lice Department finds itself in the fir
ing zone it will discover. that the name
of the informers is multitude.
Ruef may be able later to explain to
the department how it happened, or if
the department is unwilling to wait
until that time 1t might reflect that
Ruef made friend and foe pay the
same price for favors received. That
is a fact well within the knowledge of
Dinan and others above and below him
in rank. The father-in-law of the Cor
oner and the men who had delivered
the goods at the polls paid the same
sum as the latest arrival from the
East when it came to a license to be
granted or other official consideration
to be dispensed.
Ruef's heelers objected to being held
up in such an undiscriminating fash

Money first; privileges after" was
the rule adopted by Ruef, Schmitz,
Gallagher and the Supervisors.
This rule, according to testimony
brought out before the Grand Jury yes
terday by Langdon and Heney, was
adhered to in every municipal holdup
planned by Ruef and carried out by
him and his colleagues in graft.
Eddie Graney, it was established.

sion before the franchise was granted
to that corporation on April 2S.
The s450,000 that the United Rail-
roads contributed for the overhead
trolley franchise voted by the Super
visors was also in Ruef's keeping be-
fore the grant was made.
Ruef would guarantee none of his
graft promises until he felt the coin in
his hand Langdon and Heney said last
night that yesterdays testimony be-
fore the Grand Jury was remarkable
for this fact. They would not go into
particulars on the evidence given by
the witnesses, but they said that it
showed that Ruef was as distrustful of
the big corporation men from whom
he accepted bribes as he was OF the
men with whom he divided the Doodle
s.Ruef discredited credit I'm all his
deals with the corporations,- declared
Heney. "Tbe bribes ne accepted were
in his possession months before the
votes OF the Supervisors clinched his
promises. He was always paid before
he allowed them to act"

the jury yesterday were bankers, ac-
countants, bookkeepers and others
with knowledge of the finances Of the
Home Telephone Company, the Pacific
States Telegraph and Telephone Com
pany, the United Railroads and other
corporations that paid bribes to Ruef.
