Says He Would Have Liked to Have +. Witnessed Feat-Both Speakers Dis
 euss American ideals.
 New York, March IS. - Before 600 members and guests of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, who held their one hundred and twenty-fourth ami versary dinner in Delmonico's. two candidates for president vied good nat uredly with one another in extolling St. Patrick and discussing the predom- inant characteristics of Irishmen. Sec retary of War William H. Taft, with merry story, jest and poetry, spoke upon the qualities of Irishmen as a part of the conglomerate American citizen.
 Not since they became avowed can didates for president have the two men sat upon the same platform. Perhaps 1t was with an Irishman's keen love of dramatic situation that both men were invited as the chief guests of the even- ing. The secretary of war by com menting upon the characteristics of Irish history that elicited many shouts of applause sought to please his hear CTS.
 Among the bits of oratory by the sec retary that impressed his audience was the following:
 Amerca's Mixture of Races.
 ''I like to think that the races trans planted in America. mixing with each other on basis of complete equality, are gradually forming a race distinct from all those who originally entered into the combination, but which will unite the high and admirable qualities of all. am justified in believing that the American of today, in spite of the enervation of wealth and luxury, will when the time comes show the same sturdy virtues that kept the nation to- gether since its start"
 Governor Charles B. Hughes, with a quaint story leading to statement of fact and sentiment that stirred his hearers to shouts of approval, spoke upon "St Patrick the Man" and point ed out how the ideals of Ireland's pa tron saint were part of the great in- f1uences of American life today.
 Governor Hughes, likewise ignoring political issues, went to the hearts of his hearers by showing that he was a great-great-grandson of an Irishman who fought in the Revolutionary war and then sought to prove that St. Pat rick must have been Welshman.
 While Secretary Taft outdid himself in the grace and energy with which he read his address, Governor Hughes by his quips and his eloquent words drew thunderous outbursts of applause from his hearers.
 Hughes Laughs at Taft.
 He caused Secretary Taft to shake with laughter and especially when he said he should like to have seen the robust secretary kiss the Blarney stone.
 When the governor became serious, discussing "St. Patrick the Man" and then turning to the ideals of the for eigners who have found success in this country, his address took a rational scope, and he caused bis interested | carers to interrupt him continually with applause. He spoke of America as the land of opportunity and pointed out the importance of every American bidding welcome to every foreigner who came here in search of home. When he scathingly described as the greatest enemy of the country the man who tries to work the government for his own selfish ends, he evoked ap- plause and shouts of That's honesty"

THE FOURTH
CELEBRATED
Large Crowd in Reynofdsville
and a First Class Program
was Presented.
THE FIREMEN DESERVE PRAISE

The two,day celebration at Reynolds
vile July 3rd and 4th, under the aus
pices OF Hope Fire Company, was at
tended by large crowds both days and
everybody seemed to have good time.
The fire laddies were li:::!o late in
deciding to take charge Of the cele-
bration, and on that account they were
not able to give the people as good
attractions as they had expected, or
hoped to, when they took the matter
up. However, the celebration at Reyn-
oldsville was not surpassed by cele-
bration in any other town in this Sec
tiop.
The celebration began Friday morn
ing and there was almost continuous
boom, bang and hurrah from that time
until midnight Saturday. The two
day program of hurdle race, foot race,
bicycle race, shoe and stocking race,
potato race, old mems race, band con-
certs, ball games, high wire perform
ances, daring slide for life, the eccentric
pantomimist, knock about comic aero
batic perfor nance at Eagle Inn, was
carried out as advertised. A number
of the business places were beau tifully
dressed in holiday attire, in fact it was
a big celebration, but it failed to come
up to the "Old Home Week" affair,
with which, no doubt, some people
made comparison and may have been
little disappointed with the two-day
celebration on that account. We
understand the fire company expended
$50 90 more than was taken in leaving
the fire company $1,000 in the hole.
One OF the features of the celebration
on the 3rd was the industrial parade
| In the afternoon. All the business
places that agreed to be. represented
In the parade did not turn out, yet
there we're enough Of our business
houses and industries represented to
make very creditable parade. The
prize winners during the two days we're
as follows Hurdle race, Leo Nolan
first prize and John Bohren second;
100 yard dash, Leo Nolan first and Fred
McEptire second; Italian bicycle race,
Harry Sarbelli first and Frank Passa-
lacyu second: shoe and stocking race,
George Bashor first and fra Ellen
berger second; potato race, Leo Nolan
first and John Bohren second; old mems
race, Mr.. Hickey first and John King
second.
The ball games both afternoons were
won by the Reynoldsville team. Fri
day afternoon the Eriton team played
here. Score 10 to in favor home
team. Saturday afternoon the Eleanor
team played here. Score to in
favor of home team.
The high wire and trapeze perform
ance by Monsulla, the "slide for life"
by Mile. Russell and the comedy aero
batic performance by the Monte Myro
Troupe were witnessed each time by
large crowds. These were free attrac-
tions.
The grand display of fireworks both
evenings was a good feature of the
celebration. All things considered it
was big two day celebration.
