Hermann, Pastor. Providence guided the Ship of State to its peaceful settlement. Christian citizenship was emphasized as the safeguard of our nation; our first duty is toward God, then our county's interests; craftiness and the getting of gain for power in public affairs was discountenanced by the speaker; the observance of Decora- ion Day- is educational; our schools being closed and the strewing of flowers impress the lesson of patriotism the youth which is wholesome. In keeping with former years the mmortal Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was recited by Master John Davis with good effect. The Doxology and Benediction by Rev.

Edward Reimer concluded the stated program, after which the flowers were taken t'o the various burial grounds by Company of the Na- ional Guards, G. A. R. members, Loyal Temperance Legioners and other children. G.

A. R. members present were resented with attractive souvenirs the W. C. T.

U. and buttonhole jouquets. It is gratifying that Bedford has awakened to a laudable appreciation ot the veteran soldier in our midst, lot forgetting the sacrifices they iiade that we might enjoy religious md civil liberty, Rjxiusburg Memorial Day was very appropriately observed here. At 1 o'clock the P. O.

S. of A. joined the old sol- liers and friends assembled at the utheran Church. Rev. Knable coii- lucted the devotional exercises, after which O.

W. Smith, editor of the Bedford Inquirer, formerly of Rainsburg, was introduced and made a very pa- riotic and excellent address. Rev. Enable then made an address which, glowed with patriotism for the fallen leroes. Goldean Mower and Ruth essna then distributed the wreaths and garlands of flo'wers to deck the raves where our heroes are buried.

Vor were the old soldiers forgotten, as Miss Mary Filler very tenderly dinned a button-hole boquet on each surviving veteran. The music was furnished by a horus composed of the following: Soprano, Misses Grace and Cora Filler, Shaffer, lone Reighard and Pearl Cessna; alto, Mrs. F. W. Statler and Mrs.

F. Hartsauk; tenor, James 3ump and S. M. Freet; bass. Clyde Filler and Simon England; Miss Gertrude Reighard, organist.

The choir endered excellent music and was lighly praised. We can but voice the sentiment of Rev. B. F. Clarkson--I he Boys in Blue will march today, But soon will march no more; Their steps are slow, their lock are gray; Their marching days are o'er.

The muffled drum's sad roll will beat 'The soldiers last When all within their tents shall sleep-The Gray beside the Blue." Saxton Memorial Day was feelingly observed here. At 7:30 o'clock in the morning the members of Heffner Post, 166, G. A. R. together with the Saxton Drum Corps and delegations the different societies visited St.

Luke's and the Stouerstown Ceme- and decorated the graves of soldiers buried there. Returning to town they were joined by the Sunday Schools and proceeded to the Fockler Cemetery where services were held. At 1:30 p. the veterans and citizens gathered in the Opera House, where the orator of the day, Rev. Dr.

George Leidy delivered a forceful and touching address. The program at the Opera House consisted ot" music, prayer by Rev. M. Arthur Spotts, the reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg speech, and a few remarks by Prof. E.

H. White and the introduction of the speaker of the day by Rev. Spotts. At the conclusion of Dr. Leidy's most excellent address, Post Commander Capt.

Eli Eichelberger expressed appreciation of the efforts of all who had helped to make the occasion a success. The memorial sermon was preached on Sunday previous by Rev. Spotts. Dr. Leidy and Revs.

Sclicllsburg Following the custom of man years, Memorial Day was appropriately observed, the services being attended by the usual large crowd. The homes of the town evinced the a i i spirit of the residents by the elaborate display of the colors. At 2 o'clock, headed by the Pavia Cornet Band, the Veterans, I.

O. P. O. S. of and Sunday Schoo scholars marched to the Lutheran Cnurch where music was furnished by a union choir and an admirable address was delivered by Rev.

R. service was conducted over the graves of their departed comrades ay remaining fragment of the large number who fifty years ago left the community in defence of the Union. Memorial Church and Ray's Hill Memorial Day was observed Tuesday morning at Memorial Church, last Providence Township, under the auspices of the Sons of Veterans, the only lodge of the order in the county. The church was filled to its full capacity. Patriotic choruses, male quartets and recitations were rendered.

Addresses were delivered by Prothonotary A. S. Guyer and Attorney Harry C. James, of Bedford. In the afternoon, with drums be'at- ng, the Sons- of Veterans marched in full uniform from their Camp in Breezewood to the Ray's Hill Lutheran Church, where a large number of citizens had gathered.

Addresses were made by Messrs. James and uyer, a local patriotic program was rendered, floral tributes were placed on the graves of the veterans and the itualistic ceremony of the order was performed. Centreville Decoration Day was appropriately observed here Tuesday. The P. O.

S. of A. was foremost in this national observance, assisted by the. old soldiers, which in our township are getting scarce. The opening address was delivered by Attorney Howard Cessna of Rainsburg.

All who heard claim it was a masterful deliverance. Rev. Clift followed with an address which was up-to-date and well received. The Order formed in front of their beautiful, hall and marched over the principal streets, led by the Hitetown Band, which is always eady with up-to-date music. This was their first outing in their new suits, and they made a fine appearance.

The P. O. S. of A. held a fes- in the afternoon and at night, which was also a success.

The large I. O. O. F. Hall would not hold all who attended.

SHOW COMING Welsh Brothers Will Exhibit Here on Friday, June 0. Bigger, better and more entertaining than ever the Welsh Brothers' London Hippodrome will erect their mammoth canvas arena at Bedford, Friday, June 9, and give a series of amazing performances unequalled in the great circus kingdom in magnitude and grandeur. The well known successful organization has been augmented by a series of stupendous acts without regard to the expenditure of huge sums and as a result European novelties arid thrilling spectacles of death defiance and astonishing feats of skill are presented in a program too stupendous to be presented within the confines of a theatre. Among those who take part in the gigantic congress of wonders beneath the immense, canvas dome are the unparalleled Kishi Troupe of extraordinary Japanses acrobats, the wonderful White Troupe of trained equines together with ponies, mules, dogs and goats representing the highest art of animal education. Madame Yucca, strongest woman in the world, presenting an exhibition of unrivaled and wonderful strength, lifting an immense draught horse with ease and grace.

An aerial army flying fearlessly beneath the towering dome of the tent and performing nerve tingling and thrilling feats of perilous risk amid the maze of swinging trapeze. Among these daring performers are the celebrated Fousty Troupe, Anne Leon, queen of the air, in her awe inspiring cloud swing and the Four Cowdens. An important feature of the mammoth pageant is the great clown army. Kings of clowndom and masters of mirth unite in warfare against everything but laughter and succeed in producing it. S.

DR. SMITH HONORED Physician AVell-Known in Bedford Receives Appointment. From the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate we clip the following concerning the appointment of Dr. Gilbert T. Smith, nephew of the Misses Watson, East Penn Street, as Surgeon to an expedition into Alaska: Gilbert T.

Smith, formerly Assistant Superintendent of both Dr. Barnes' and Dr. Givens' sanitariums, and who has been engaged in the practice of his specialty of nervous diseases in Baltimore, has received an appointment as surgeon to the United fetates Coast and Geodedic Survey expedition into Northern Alaska. It is understood that the party will be in the wilderness for two years. The territory which the expedition traverses abounds in the finest game, such as Alaska grizzly, Polar bear, musk ox, etc.

The doctor is an athlete and devoted to outdoor sport, fond of hunting and fishing, and this affords him the opportunity of hunting big game in the vast regions of the North. The doctor left for Seattle to join the party. His many friends in Stamford will be pleased to learn of this appointment." Rev. King Resigns Rev. G.

O. S. of A. in the morning, and his farewell sermon in the evening. The church and Sunday School rooms were crowded for both services and some special music was furnished by the Langdondale people.
