A Plea for Ventilation.

There is nothing more sadly needed
in our churches, schools and homes
than good ventilation. Many of our
winter time ills could be traced di-
rectly to the effects of bad air, and
yet there seems to be no likelihood of
a reform along this line. Few build
ings are constructed with any view
to proper ventilation, and fresh air
seems to be regarded with distrust by
many people, who will scarcely allow
it place in their homes. Pure,
sweet oxygen is health producing and
invigorating, and the best blood
purifier and brain clearer yet dis
covered. Some people seem to think
if room is cool, the air is all right,
but that is mistake for cold air is as
easily vitiated as warm air, and is
oftenas full of bad exhalations. A warm
room may be easily kept pure by
frequently changing the air by rails
ing the windows for a few minutes.
This is good plan for both schools
and homes. Churches are very diff
cult to ventilate, because of the many
notions of those who attend them,
for some like pure air, while Others
like anything else, and the sections
seem to try to please all, and please
none. Last weeks air is never a
good accompaniment for good SER
mon.

Revival Meetings.

The revival meetings which have
been in progress at the M. E. Church
during the past two weeks, have been
well attended, and much good is be-
ing accomplished. Rev. VIM. Gallo
way well known evangelist, has as
sisted the pastor Rev. N. NJ. Browne,
during this week, and has been the
means of doing much good. This
man of God does not use any sensa-
tional methods, nor does he make
any attempt at fine oratory or rhe-
toric, but in the simplest, plainest
manner he appeals to the heart and
conscience of men. There have been
a number of conversions, and the in
terest still increases. The meeting
will continue during next week.

Drops Down to Zero and Gives Our
Citizens Touch of Winters
Chilly Blasts.
1t was wintry scene which met
our gaze on Tuesday morning. The
air was filled with drifting snow, great
banks were piled in corners and by
ways, the house-tops and fences were
covered, and all the earth was glitter
ing with frost-spangled mantle of
snow.
Twas indeed beautiful scene, for
nature in her winter garb is as attract
i've as in the garlands of spring. There
is grandeur and majesty in winter
scenery that no other season possesses.
But those who had to wrestle with the
snow shovel and north wind, may
have another version of the story, for
the wind was like the icy breath of
Greenland, and struggling pedestrians
had no easy task in making their way
through the unbroken path. There
is wholesomeness about this genuine
winter weather that makes it welcome
in spite of it's severity. But it takes
some little courage to face the ele-
ments when the thermometer is in
the region of zero.

Trains and Mails DELAYED,

On account Of the heavy fall of
snow, travel and traffic have been
much impeded this week, and railroad
stations and cars have been good places
to study human nature, for there is no
greater test of ones good nature or
amiability than an enforced delay at a
station or on the train in the midst of
storm in mid-winter. The midnight
train of Tuesday passed this
point at about Z o'clock Wednesday
morning, and other trains were pro-
porti0nately la:e, many of them re-
qulring two engines to carry them
through the heavy drifts.

paths were dug out under the snow,
so that opposite neighbors could pass
across the street To each others houses

to their chamber windows to visit each

roads through the snow. Vast num-

The Methodist Congregation Expect
to Have One for Conference Week.
A new church organ is talked of
among the members of the Methodist
church, in connection with the var
ious preparations for Conference. A
very liberal offer has been made by
one of the members, and it is more
than probable that the new organ
will be a reality in the near future.
The appearance of the pulpit stand
would be much improved by remov-
ing the present organ, and giving it's
space to the pulpit platform, placing
the new organ in the recess at the
right of the platform. We think
there will be no hesitancy in doing
this and desirable and much needed
Improvement would be made.

Miss Emma w. Burnham died at her
home, on North Broad street, at about
2 o'clock yesterday morning. For
weeks her life seemed to hang by a
thread. The most skillful physicians
were employed as we'll as the most
experienced and careful nurses. but
for some time there has been little
ground to hope for her recovery. She
was i'll for about two months. Ty-
phoid fever was the dread malady
from which she died.
She was well-known by large cir
Gle of friends, who held her in high
esteem. Her family had lived in and
near town for number of years, and
she was identified with many of the
religious and social interest of the
neighborhood. She possessed many
rare virtues of mind and heart, she
was vivacious in manner and genial in
temperament, and was loved by all
who knew her. She was a consistent,
active member of the Presbyterian
Church, where her death is deeply
lamented. Four sisters survive her,
Mrs. Mary Pleasanton, Mrs. Samuel
Pennington, Mrs, James Hoffecker
and Mrs. Annie Pennington, all resi-
dents of this town.
Her funeral will take place on Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock from her
late residence. Interment at Forest

DEATH OF Mr.. M. D. WILSON.
Paralysis Prostrates Him. 10 winch
He Succumbed Yesterday
Afternoon.

|
Manloye Davis Wilson, one of the
oldest and most influential citizens of
this community, died at his residence
on Main street, yesterday afternoon, IN
his 74th year.
He was born in Sussex county, Cedar
Creek Hundred, March 4, 1919, When
he was about Is years old his parents
moved to this county. His father was
farmer, and lived on the farm now
known as the Fish farm near town, at
present tenanted by Julius Cleayer.
At the death of his father, though still
boy, he took entire charge OF the
business, and farmed on various farms
in the vicinity, keeping home for his
aged mother and younger members OF
the family. When he was % years old
he bought the Alfree farm, near Nox-
entown, where he spent his entire life
until he retired from farming and
moved to Middletown few yea ago.
In January, 1852, he was married %
Mary B. Frame, daughter of George
Frame, who was also a brother of
Robert Frame, whose career as a law
yer is closely allied to the history of
the State.
Mr.. Wilson was very successful in
his business ventures. Having invest
ed in land when the peach industry
was at its greatest height, he realized
large profits. He was careful, method
ical, and of untiring energy, his in
dustry being only equalled by his integ-
rity. He had strong religious principles
and was lifelong member of the NJ.
E. Church. His devotion to the church
and it's interests was among his strong
est traits of character. For years a
class leader, steward and trustee he
was one of the most liberal supporters
of the church and its various interests.
He was the senior member of the |
Board of Trustees, of the church at |
at Middletown; kind and indulgent
father, and happy when his children
were about him. The old homestead,
near Noxentown, will long be remem- |
bered by many of the friends who |
shared in its general hospitality. His
seven children were all born there, and |
it was the scene of many happy |
family party. The young and old al
ways found a cordial welcome at his
home.
Shortly after his removal TO town he
was stricken with paralysis. and for
several years previous to his death he
was an invalid, and at times. he was a
great sufferer. Death to him was well
come, for it brought not only release
from pain, but opened to him the
blessed realities of the ''land of pure
delight" His large charity, his great
kindness and his upright ,iiiife wfff long
be remembered by his many friends.
His wife and seven children survive
him, four sons-John Paynter, George
Frame, Manlove Davis and William
Burton, and three daughters Mrs. John
w. Roberts, Mary and Annie.
His funeral will take place on Tues
day at l o'clock from his late resi-
dence. Interment at the NJ. E.
&c metery.

Town Commissioners.

The question of lighting the town
was one of the principal subjects for
discussion at the last meeting of the
Town Commissioners on Monday
night. 1t has frequently been recon-
mended that the municipal authorities
assume control of the electric light
plant, as it would doubtless be more
satisfactory than by private corpor-
ations. The Board decided TO submit
the question to the people, at town
meeting, due notice of which will be
given. The Board also decided to coll
tinue the work of driving the new well,
and as soon AS the weather will permit
the eight inch pipe will be driven 10
the desired depth.

towns Baker.
MiddletoHn Iad baker until Mon.
day, whose s'red push cart" gladdened
the heart of the housewife as it stop
ped before her door each morning and
supplied her with hot rolls and bread
for the morning meal. But to-day she
must depend either on her own inge-
nuity in making bread and mullins, or
run.the chances of causing her hus-
bands death by feeding bim on hot
cakes.
While the average housewife may
be put to some Inconvenience the lot
of the poor married man whose wife
has not learned the art of baking is
indeed sorry one.
The little ''re,l push cart' is all that
is left of our baker. His name was
Haaga, but flom developements it
should have been something else.
For some time past Baker Haaga
has had hard time of it scratching
together money enough to buy his
-four, and last week the climax was
capped by Constable Reed levying on
his goods and chattels for some $500
back rent.
Now Constable Ri ed was man of a
generous turn of mind, and it is said
assisted the baker with small loans of
money which in the aggregate
amounted to about $3.50, making
sum of $3.50, which lie expected to
collect this week.
But August Haaga, our baker that
was, decided that it should not be 50,
and on Monday night, at the hour
when ghosts walk, he silently folde d
his tent and departed.
Some say he went toward Odessa;
others that Delaware City was his des-
tinatinn, but many are IF the Opi'lion
that the Maryland line was nearer,
and that beyond the railroad, in some
quiet and sequestered nook, he is safe
from Codstable Reeds levy.
The latter will no doubt be called
upon TO give all account of his Stew
ardship, and will find he has aboul
$3.50 to make up before lie can count
himself square.
