Rev. S. Harper Leeper delivered very
interesting sermon. on Sunday evening.
to Washington Council, No. 5, Jr. o. U.
A. NJ. About so members of the order
we're present, and every seat in the Pres
byterian Church was occupied.
In opening his remarks the minister
paid high compliment to the patriotism
displayed by the order in general. He
said that our free school system is state
institution in which no foreigner should
be allowed to interfere, and showed the
necessity of educating the young in order
to preserve the state government.
Statistics were presented to show that
large per cent of the crime in the world
is committed by the illiterate class, and
also that from the place where the largest
amount of illiteracy exists comes the
command to destroy the free school sys-
tenn of the United States, and to accom-
plish that end an emissary had been sent to
this country. The speaker deplored the fact
of foreigners interfering with our free instl
buttons, and said that many of this class
who we're opposed to our school system
are settling in the western states in large
numbers, and had already secured con
troll of the schools in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Leeper's sermon was well received
and during It's delivery he was applauded
He closed by praying for the preserva
ton of the little red school house o
America.

A significant indication of the extent OF
the present business depression is afforded
by the action of the Pennsylvania railroad
company in issuing orders for the exer-
else of the "most rigid economy in all de.
partments. The railroads of the country
have felt the effects of the stagnation in
business severely, as the marked falling
off in their earnings shows. Rigid econ
omy on their part probably means the dis
charge of considerable number of en-
ployes, thus increasing the already large
proportions of the mass of people out of
work.
The historic engine "John Bull" which
left its quarters in the National Museum
eight months ago to form a part of the
Worlds Fair exhibit of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, returned to Washing

which is the oldest in the United States.
brought back the Camden & Amboy
coaches which were taken to Chicago in
the spring from Philadelphia and these
will in the future also be found among
the attractions of the museum. They
were of the original equipment of the
Camden & Amboy. and are doubtless
among the oldest examples of the car
builders art in America. The train was
brought to Washington under the charge
of ]. Elfreth Watkins. the Pennsylvania
Company's special Worlds Fair agent,
and was met at Baltimore by number of
attaches of the Smithsonian Institute. who
accompanied Mr.. Watkins to Washington.
Between Washington and Baltimore a
speed of twenty miles was attained by
the old machine in several places.

and, with the former translations, dill
gently compared and revised by the spe
ciaI command of King James LIST, of Eng
land, with original notes and references,
to which are added an index and an al

Scarcity Of Game.


Local sportsInen are complaining of the
indiscriminate slaughter of rabbits during
the recent snow, and it is now feared that
that kind of game has been nearly ami
hilated in the lower counties. Prior to
the snow the hunters and their dogs were
able to track but few of the "cotton tails"
but since the fall OF snow what few were
left were tracked in the snow to
their beds and hiding places by pot hunt
ers and killed, and the genuine sports
men now state that it is almost next to
impossible to start a rabbit, and the
prospects for game next season are very
discouraging
Hunters. generally, have reported a
great scarcity of quails during the entire
cunning season, and IN some of the coun-
ties that species of game birds is almost
large number of the members of the
West Jersey Game Society. will advocate
the purchase of Western quails for re-
stocking the counties in the jurisdiction
of the society, as there are evidently but
few of the birds left, especially in Glou-
cester, Salem and Cumberland counties
There is also some talk in some of the
counties of introducing bill at the COM
ing session of the Legislature with view
of protecting game in some way, and it is
not altogether improbable that the shoot
ing of rabbits and quails in the month of
December will be prohibited. A law of
this kind, it is thought by many sports
men, would have good effect. and they
think that in few years game would
then again be plentiful, whereas under
the present laws with November and
December as the open season, game
has grown very scarce, more so, in fact,
than for many years, in the lower coun-
ties of the state.
