Friends Half-Yeariy Meeting.

Many years ago when the Friends, or
"Quakers," as they were usually called In
those days, were more numerous in this
portion OF our State than they now are,
they held what were called " Yearly Meet
ings." These were held like the large con-
vocations OF otherrehyiOus denominations,
with different communities each year.
They were seasons Of great interest TO all
ofthe denomination, and extensive prepare
tiOns had to be made TO accommodate
the visiting members and representatives
from the different meetings throughout the
state. Ministers from every part OF the
country and frequently from England and
Ireland, where the Society was at one time
very flOurishing. came TO attend.
From a variety OF causes not necessary
now TO mention the Orthodox Friends in
this State have been reduced very low in
numbers, and some years ago the member
ship had dwindled down until below that
recognized as necessary TO compose a
yearly meeting. They then determined to
connect themselves with the Baltimore
Yearly Meeting and divide those here into
two haLf-yedr'S meetings.. one TO be held i'm
Southampton county, where there is a
fourishing membership, in the spring, and
meetings report TO the Yearly Meeting i'm
Baltimore. The one for this city is now in
session.
Yesterday afternoon there was a meeting
OF ministers and elders, to which only
these two classes are admitted or rather in
which they only take part.
There will be two meetings for worship
to-day-one at II in the forenoon and the
other at IN the afternoon. There Is no
one appointed to speak, but there will be
several ministers present, amongst them
Mrs. Anna VI. Richardson, OF England.
who Is represented to be very pleasant
and agreeable speaker.
Tomorrow morning will be the princi-
pal busiresS-day, preceded at 10 O'Clock by
a meeting for religious services.
To these public services all are invited,
and often many attend.

tributed largely in placing Cohen Brothers
among those successful business enter
prises which are one feature Of our city.

He was in active business relations with
our people here for half a century. and

word with any man. During the war he
arden.ly espOused the cause OF the State OF
his adoption, and four OF his sons were
with the army in the field. while he bimself
was often in the lOcal-defence service with
the reserves. He was an amiable, pure
hearted, and pious man.
He had been in bad health for several
years. but II was not till four or five months
ago that his illness became very serious.
His death was from organic disease OF the
heart complicated with angina pectoriS.

More Light Wanted.

Only few Of the principal streets were
lighted last night. There was not enough
gas on hand for all. As it was, the people
in their shops, stores. and residences had
hardly more than bali a supply.
II is useless now TO quarrel with the
Council for their want Of foretnoueht. or to
question whether it was wise to put the
new retorIS on the spot occupied by a
number Of the old ones, thus throwing out
Of use the latter. The practical question
now is how TO manage till the new rctorts
are ready for use. There i but one way.
and that is 10 make the gas now mauufac-
tured Of the very highest candle-powcr.
II they have not done so already the au-
thorities should at once get supply Of
camel coal. and with it enrich the gas a.,
far as practicable. When that i, done we
shall have to be content and await the COM
