The power OF I'm ,gination is supposed to be
stronger in women than In men; but this was not
shown In recent hospital experiment. DIR. Du-

diseases, gave 100 patients a dose OF sweetened
water. Fifteen miAutes after. entering apparently
ia great excitement, he announced that re had by
mistake given an emetie, AID preparations were
made accordingly. Eighty out OF the 100 patients
Uecame thoroughly III, and exhibited the usual
results OF an eineiic; twenty were unaffected. The
curious part OF II Is that, win very Few excep-

The Bethel Literary Society met in
Bethel NJ. E. Church on Friday evening,
the 18th inst, Rev. A. Burke in the chair.
G. r. Donaldson acting as secretary.
Opening hymn, Rescue the Perishing;;"
prayer and reading of the 18th Psalm by
Brother Burke; reading by II. B. Kirk,

sition on Boys" by Miss Myra Clayton;
singing, There's a Land That Is Fairer
Than Day." reading by Miss Mile
Burke, THE Old WAYS to the New
singing, ale Leadeth Me-" Mr.. w. G.
Lake then addressed the audience for a
half hour on the temperance question.
Mr. Lake strongly advocated Prohibition
as be best and only sure way of banishing
the great evil intemperance from our
land. Reading by James Padley, "a
Tale os a Nose;" reading by Miss Maggie
Donald son, "'The Execution of Mon

evening by singing Safe at Home"
The young ladies and gentlemen who
take part in the exercises are improving
quite rapidly in their reading and recita-

could not spend more pleasant and
instructive evening anywhere else. The

extract from an article 10y Prof. Ely, of
Johns Hopkins University, arguing
against water works being erected by
private companies.
Mr.. Evans WAS against allowing any
person To builG up the towns svound trG
pecuniary advantage.
Mr. Warburton argued further against
a limited franchise, which he said was
opposed to democratic principles.
Mr. Writ said he was aware that he was
not Oh the popular side. He would be
the last man to take the right to vote in
county, state or national affairs from any
man.
By vote of that kind d man may af
feet his liberty or his life. But in town
affairs it was a very different matter
Property owners paid the taxes and
they should have the right to say whether
25 or 80 cents taxes should be levied.
The question lies at the very life of pro-
and had made more progress in the few
years that it had been in force than in
many before. There would be no ''iobs
if the taxpayers elected the officers to
disburse their money.
Mr. Warburton thought that every
person OF proper age had as much right
to vote at an election for town commits
sioners as for county commissioners. The
effort to make a property qualification
was unfair, unjust, inequitable and
! wrong.
\ motion to strike out the property
qualification was made. Mr.. Writ moved
to lay ON the table. The vote was very
close and declared tie. 1t was about to
be taken again when it was offered to
withdraw the clause of the report in re-
gard to qualification for voters and the
report was then passed.

dred names were placed in the box and

name of person from that district was
the thirty-second one drawn. Two others
from the First afterwards appeared. The
other districts Jared as follows: Second,

As usual, now that the roads have become

the opportunity 10 do their hauling and sue

North East, axle deep. Now we know that

like it if our friends would do their hauling
when the roads are good and haul as much
on two horses as they haul on six now.

that ere long he will be out with his usual

We think that most of our citizens
will agree with us that in other respects
than inadequate protection against ire,
the condition of our town is not what It
should be. We need better pavements,
better and cleaner streets, proper syS
tenn OF drainage, and more attention to
the sanitary condition of tia town. In
fine, our management of our municipal
affairs should reflect more of the progress
sive intelligence of our citizens. We are
behind the times, and we should strive
to improve many things which are a
reproach to us.

gree TO reflect upon the gentlemen com

to $1,000. Their means have been limited

A WEEK OF PRAYER
Christian Temperance Union.
MARCH 18th to 18th, 1888

Bs!sred Sisters: We call every Union,
and every woman in our heroic constitu-
ency to spend a week in united and special
prayer, both private and public, for such
baptism of wisdom and courage upon our
selves, and such a putting forth of divine
power as shall be felt in all this land. Rea-
sons: The year upon us is one of struge lie
and of destiny. Within these months the
temperance cause shall be in the very heart
of mighty contest, Then let us pray,
hrst: That upon our great organization may
come fresh impulse from Heaven; and on
every active worker a new amounting of
the Spirit. Second: For our unused mem.
bership held to us by pledge and name, but
not consecr ated to the spirit and activities
of the work. Let US ask God to call our
own women from idleness to service. Third:
For the great body of Christian womauhood
who yet stand afar from this greatest of
missionary agencies for the salvation of our
own and other lands. The meetings of the
week need not be widely public, nor their
aim to invite universal attention.
Begin quietly an afternoon meeting fer
prayer in your own usual place of meeting,
or in a parlor, with the hearts touched al
ready with longing for more of God in
our work, and more of His power on all our
people. Make special effort first for all
members of the union, that together we
may offer our prayers. If attendance
widens as it will, DO not allow discussions

Sisters of the ". c. 7. L., set the week
apart, hold at least one meeting day for
the quiet, transformations seeing of God
herein suggested. Two public evening
meetings, with sermons, gospel talks, or
conferences would be of great value. The
evening of March 10Th might be made effec-
tive by union services where these can be
secured When the churches cannot give
way for this, hold such a meeting in the
afternoon of that day.
No topics suggested lest they lead
from the one central thought of all the day.
Many things you will remember; our own
work; our country's iced and perils; the
workers who must 20 out into the coming
contest; the pleaders at the tireside; the
voters at the ballot box; but this one thing
seek and find; Gods touch of power upon
our own spiritual life, ana the spiritual life
of the nation. On behalf of the National

fault is with the system change of
methods rather than of men is what is
desired.
The committee is impressed with the
fact that the first requisite to obtain
water supply aud other necessary i'm
provements in Elktou is the adoption of
certain amendments to she Town Charter

every election thereafter tHD Commits
sioners will be elected to serve two Years
and cverv second year thereafter Prrsi-
| dent will be elected for Z; term u. tyo
years BY this means we shall have a
m ire permanent tenure, aud there will
| always be men in the Board who have
some knowledge of town Affairs. The

charter except that ne or his wife must

the same as they now are except that he
or his wife must be the bouatida owner
of real or personal property il the town

preceding the election at which he offers
to vote.
An increase in the powers OF the Pres
ident aud Commissioners, by giving them
authority 10 enact ordinance 20 promote
she health aud cleanliness OF the town, to
contract for supplying the town with
light and water, to Construct drains and
sewers and to condemn land for the same;
also to give the power to order the laying
or renewal of pavements, one half of the
expense thereof to be paid by the owner
OF the abutting property, and to require
the property owners to keep the pave
ments in front of their property in repair.
To assess the value Of property for
| 81,
it is now assessed for State and county

unimproved real estate, and to limit the

same shall not i'll any event exceed 40cts
on the one hundred dollars OF assessable
property.
To provide for the expenditure of
money received from the county for the
repairs of the streets exclusively to that
purpose.
To change the system of collecting

the President and Commissioners with
powers similar to those of the County
Commissioners for the collection of State
and county taxes.
To make the Baiiff an officer to be ap.
pointed by the President and Commits.
sioners for one year. to perform such du
ties and receive such compensation not
