order, down" the oysters. Scarcely did
they take time to inhale breath of fresh
air, but kept close eye on the oyster for
fear he might escape from them. The
oysters were large ones and were very de-
licious. We understand that about 5000
of them tickled the palates of the par
takers. Alter all had taken plenty, or at
least it was thought ''wise'' to make q
stop" different ones were called upon
for speeches and several responded in
amusing and pleasing remarks. Rev. Mr..
Blattenberger, David Williamson, Ed

pied the floor for few minutes. After
the remarks were finished, the gentlemen
returned to the lodge room and INDUCED
in social smoke and chat, after which
all returned to their several homes, de-
lighted with the evenings entertainment
and especially delighted with the oysters,
which had shared SO gratefully in the en-
joyment of the evening. The anniversary
was successful as we'll as most enjoya-
bic event and all will turn their thoughts
to tho future, with the hope Of enjoying
another one as happy as this last one.
Pop is especially thankful to the order
for the kind invitation and ticket he re-

The Indian Battle.


Smith Clark, Of this place, in speaking
of the Indian battle fought many years
ago at Holland, says that the battle look
place at the head of what was formerly
known as Britton's mill dam, now owned
by Peter Rapp, and not on the farm of
Frederick Timer, as stated and that
many years after his grandfather used
the skulls picked up off the field Of battle
in building a .tworm fence from this
point up to Michael Fraley's line. Five
skulls were used at each corner, four be-
ing placed on tile ground in the form of a
square and the fifth one being placed on
top, to form the support for the lower
rail of the fence. This will give some idea
of the terrible loss of life.-- Milford Leader.

a Fraud.

A Fraud.
A man with wealth of names, having
signed his name as Phillips, Evans, White
and Mango, has been in this vicinity
operating as an agent for what he calls
The Garfield Beneficial Association :
This association, he asserts, pays sick
benefits upon the payment of certain
sums. He appears to operate among color
ed people and ignorant whites exclusive
ly. With the former the use ofthe name
OF Garfield creates feeling of conf
dence and he is the more easily enabled
to fleece them. lie has been among the
colored people in New Hope and in this
city, and has secured several dollars from
them in premiums. One of them, John
Hill, of this city, whose wife paid him
dollar, had him arrested on Monday and
brought before Justice Iayhurst. He re-
turned the money and was discharged,
there being no evidence at the time to hold
him. His explanation of tho reason Of h is
signing the receipts with different names
was far from plausible, aud his whole
course indicates that he is an unusually
mean fraud, living off of the money OBJ
tanned from persons who are least able to
spare it.
The fellow promised Justice Ilayhulst
to establish the reliability of his company,
the office OF which he gave as located at
1914 S. Fourth street, Philadelphia, and
the honesty of his proceedings. Instead
of doing this, he left town with board
bin unpaid at Gaddis' hotel. He is a very
plausible fellow and a smooth talker. He

Newark Conference.
We find in the Newark Journal the fol-
lowing gossip relative to the Newark NJ.
T.. Conference
Tho twenty-sixth session of the Confer
ence is to be held in Phillipsburg, begin
ming March 18th, and will continue its SEES
sion from day to day for about week.
Bishop Foss is to preside. There arc
about $50 ministers, representing a mem
bership of nearly 10000.
Two of tho members of the Newark
Conference have died since the last SEES
sion Rev. j. X. Burr, ID. d., April 24th,
and the venerable j. II. Dandy, May 18th.
Both were on the superannuated list.
There are a number of venerable mem
bers still remaining, Rev. John S. Porter.
d. D., Rev. L. Andrew, who each enter
ed the conference in 1920. they live out
of the bounds of the conference. The
former at Burlington, the latter at High
lands, Monmouth county. As conference
approaches, of course where there are to
be changes there is some solicitude among
both preachers and people. The number
of changes this year will not necessarily
be very great, as with but few the consti-
tutional term win expire, and yet there
will be many changes. Some preachers
who have not met with the success they
desire will hope to be more effective in u
new field, and will express the wish to be
moved, and some churches win hope for
improvement by change, and in somc
cases the feeling is mutual.
The work Of the revivals has not been
very general during the past year. In
some sections of the work there have
been quite large ingatherings, but very
generally there has been harmony and u
healthy condition both Of the material
and spiritual. Church debts have been
paid, new churches have been built, old
ones have been improved. So the year
has really been one of prosperity and
success.

THE EIGHT HOUR QUESTION.

Years ago an act constituting eight hours a

Every little while since the passage of that
act officials holding temporarily positions of
more or less prominence have sought to defeat

objections thereto. Some of these function

Of the usual days wages for eight hours work;
others claim the right TO arbitrarily fix the
rate of wages below that paid by private par
tics SO as to defraud the worlSingman of his

referred to.

REVELATIONS OF THE WEATHER MAI.
TO the Eddor.

TO Gc Editor
On tho ninth and tenth of juno, while 1t
was very hot in Washington, tho papers re-
port il very cold in Chicago
few years ago this could not have been
satisfactorially explained-to-day,t through the
medium of tho weather map, it is as easily
explained as why it is hot in summer or cold
in winter.
As often stated, tho wind is toward tho area
of low barometer technically called low"
The map for the ninth Of June shows an
old Glow gone to the northeast, which being
a high Glow" caused much heat in this SEQ
tiou. The new Glow" centered in Chicago,
causing there north winds. At z q. m, on
the NINTH the thermometer stood $50.
In addition to this "low," still another, or
part of another, was in tho southwest, the
tendency of which was to increase the power
Of the former. The "low" which centered
over Chicago moved TO the north Of Washing
ton, causing IL to continue hot here on the
tenth. The one in tho southwest moved on
similar line and conferred over territory
from Keokuk, Iowa, to Little Rock, Ark,
which is south of Chicago, hence north winds
there. Thermometer at Z a. m. stood 49o.
From the tenth to the eleventh this second
center moved rapidly TO the northeast, still
keeping IL hot in Washington and causing it
to be warm at Chicago.
There is no mere theory in all this; on tho
contrary, these changes from hot TO cold are
owing to plain, substantial facts that are
stereotyped every day on the weather map,
and which every one having eyes and under.
standing may see and comprehend for them
selves. l. 2. N.
