ElkS' Memorial
Was Impressive
Large Audience Listened to EuIogy
of Departed Brothers.

An audience which filled every portion
Of the main floor of the Adelphi Theatre
was present to witness the beautiful and
impressive exercises of the annual Lodge
Of Sorrow of Reynoldsville Lodge No.
$40, B. p. o. Elks, Sunday afternoon.
The stage, tastefully arranged for the
occasion, with a large elk head and dial,
emblematie of the principles of the order,
conspicuous in the center, was occupied
by the officers of the local lodge, the
speakers Of the day, and the members of
the octette. The services was in charge
of Exalted Ruler John H. Ewing, and
the prescribed ritual of the order for
such occasions was carried out in detail.
The eulogy was delivered by Clement
w Flynn, Esq, of Reynoldsville, and
was dignifed and touching tribute to
the worth of the brothers who have
passed away most of whom were per-
sonally known to the speaker, and whose
words were the more sincere and tender
or that account. These departed brothers
are: John d. Nolan, William Degnan,
Edward b. Phalen, Scott McClelland, j.
A. F. Hoy, S. p. Evans, Daniel Sterner,
Sr., Page McNutt, S. G. Christ, and
Grier o. Sweitzer. 1t is the motto of
the Elks to ''write the faults of their
brothers on the sands, their virtues upon
the tablets of love and memory. and the
eulogy, without fulsome fattery, with
out harsh criticism, was a just and
deserved tribute to the finer qualities of
the dead.
Hon. ]. M. Evans. of Sharon, Pa, who
followed Mr.. Flynn as speaker, devoted
his time to portrayal Of the value Of
fraternal organizations IN promoting the
progress of civilization. and in pre-
diction of the future when 1.-The Father
hood of God and the Brotherhood Of
Man" shall form basis on which all
the races of mankind may unite tc end
strife. His tribute to the order of Elks
was listened to with deepest interest. He
is plain and forcible speaker. thorough
ly conversant with his subject,
A feature of the exercise which
was highly appreciated by the audience
was the beautiful vocal selections
rendered by an octette and the instru-
mental selections of the orchestra.
The invocation had been delivered by
Rev. John F. Black, of the Reynolds
vile M. E. church, and the benediction
was also pronounced by him.

Most Narrowing Tragedy Of Recent Years
InReynoldsvlle Occurred Sunday Morning
HEART RENDING SCENES AT FIRE
Ferris Destroyed Two Children Father
Two Painfully

dangerously cut in the calf of one leg
His burns were also serious and the
physical pain, with the mental anguish
followinglthe loss of his children and total
ruin of his home and household goods, was
50 great that he at times piteously begged
that he might be mercifully despatched.
Everything possible was done for the
family, the surviving child being taken
in charge by neighbors, and Sunday
morning the physician decided that careful
treatment in hospital alone could save
the lives of Mrs. Ferris and her infant
child Accordingly Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris
and the baby were placed on a street car
and taken to Punxsutawney hospital.
Besides severe burns on face and back, it
is feared that Mrs. Ferris may have
inhaled fame and that she may have
internal injuries that will result fatally.
The house was completely gutted. Not
an article of furniture was saved and there
was no insurance. Mr.. Ferris was pur-
chasing the property on a time-payment
plan and still owed few hundred on it.
The catastrophe wiped out all his earthly
possessions, incapacitated him for work
for several weeks, and almost destroyed
his family. Under the circumstances it is
little wonder that offers Of assistance were
numerous and that several good sized
funds were raised by various organizations
for his immediate relief. The, largest of
these came from the Mems Bible Glass
of the M. E. Church, of which Mr..
Ferris was a member, and from the
Elks. The latter organization also plans
to give benefit performance of "Playing
the Ponies in the Adelphi Theatre soon,
from which it is hoped to realize
handsome sum for the afflicted family.
The two boys who burned to death
were Robert aged four years, and Ralph,
aged seven. 1t was the four year old boy
who discovered the fire and gave the
alarm which enabled the parents and
two children to escape. That he who
saved the others should himself perish is
one of the saddest incidents connected
with the tragedy Maud, the oldest of
the children, was badly burned about the
face, arms and feet, but is not in serious
condition. She is now at the home of H.
l.. Hoke.
The latest reports from the Adrian
Hospital. where Mr. and Mrs. Ferris and
baby were taken, say that all are doing
very well and that there is very little
danger of death for any but Mrs.
Ferris, who on account Of great mental
anguish and the severity of her injuries,
may have hard fight for life.
The funeral of the two boys, Robert and
Ralph Ferris, was held in the Methodist
Episcopal church Monday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev. John F. Black, and
burial was made in Beulah cemetery.

MONEY IN FARMING
FOR real FARMERS.

We have learned of an instance where
piece of land located within one mile Of
Reynoldsville, one acre in extent, which
had been carefully cultivated and a strict
account kept of all expenses, both for
materials and time, yielded its owner at
the end of the present season over $4,000
actual cash. This land was not exceptional
in any way and had no more advantages
than are possessed by thousands Of other
acres now laying barren or half cultivated
around the town, and the crop was inst :
