A CHANGE OF STEWARDS.
A Change In the Personnel OF the
Officials OF the Aims Reuse.

A Change I'm the Personnel of the
Officials of the Aims Reuse.
Steward Saml. Tomlinson Wednes-
day last yielded hisl official position at
the County Aims House, and Steward
elect William Ogden assumed the re-
sponsibilities of conducting the affairs
of the institution.
1t took pretty much all day for both
gentlemen to move their household
effects. Steward Tomlinson moved
away early, and has taken up his resi-.
| dence In Shiloh, where his friends
hope soon to make him Postmaster.
| He and Mrs. Tomlinson remained how
ever, all day, for the purpose of intro
ducing Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden, and ac-
quainting them with their. duties.
MIR. and Mrs. Tomlinson retire from
their positions with the best of feeling
existing between themselves and the
various inmates, and also with the
commendetion of the Board of Trus-
tees with whom they are thrown in
contact at least each month of the
year.
The Board of Trustees met in session
es usual at the institution Wednesday.
They transacted the routine business,
and adopted resolutions which were
in the afternoon read to Mr.. and Mrs.
Tomlinson. The resolutions are as
follows:
| March 1st, 1898.
At meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Cumberland County Aims
House, held this day, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
and copy ordered spread upon the
minutes:
Resolved, That the Board of Trus-
tees of the Cumberland County Aims
House deems this a fitting time to
testify our sincere and heartfelt appre-
citation of the services of Mr.. Samuel
Tomlinson as Steward, and Mrs. Eta
Tomlinson as Matron, of the Aims
House, during the years they have so
acceptably filed the positions men,
toned. They have acquitted them
|
and exacting duties in manner most
satisfactory to the Trustees and to the
satisfaction of the inmates. There
fore be it further
ResolUed, That the Trustees thank the
Steward and Matron for the uniform
kindnesses and oourtesies extended by
them to the Board, and we desire sue
cess and happiness for them in all their
future life. Signed,
| ALBERT HARRIS,
| JOSEPH T.. WHITE,
Ct. WILBERT MOORE.
After the reading of the resolutions,
which deeply affected both Mr.. and
Mrs. Tomlinson, the retiring Steward
said that he was sincerely glad that he
retired with the.wel wishes of the
Trustees, and while he realized that
he had made mistakes, still he felt
that at all times he had transacted
the business with the best interests of
the County at heart. He thanked
the Trustees for the manner in which
they had treated him, and called at
tention to the fact that they had never
refused to grant any favor they had
asked of him. Mrs. Tomlinson echoed
these sentiments in their untirety. She
felt that in leaving the institution
there were many weighty responsible
ties lifted from her, but she had formed
attachments for some of the inmates
that made the parting very sad for all.
Steward Ogden began In. a business
way to take charge of the house, and
ina few days will have everything
squared away, so that in the future he
can.give his entire time and attention
to the duties devolving upon him. He
said to reporter that in their entirety
almost, he found that the plans and
forms followed by the retiring stewards
were of such thorough and salts
factory character, that he would adopt
them. He said further that there
would be no change in the assistants
and help of the house, and he feels
that everything should move along
very smoothly, even with the abrupt
change.
| Certain it is that MIR. and Mrs, Og-
den are peculiarly calculated to fill the
position to which they have been
chosen by the Board of Freeholders,
and there is little room for doubt but
that the institution will be exception
ally well kept. MIR. and Mrs. Ogden
have host of very warm friends who
express only the beet wishes for their
| success In the new work that they
have assumed. The PIONEER feels
sure that the confidence displayed by
the Board of Freeholders, in Mr.. and
Mrs. Ogden, has not been misplaced
Where They Will stop.

New Jersey Conference of the M. E.
Church will be held In Mt. Holly. The
five ministers of this city have received
