To Be Revived.

An effort is being made to revive the
order of Sons of Temperance in Mount
Holly. Divisions No. s and 26 we're located
here and it has only been four years since
the former disbanded. On Saturday even
ing, f. NJ. Turner, of Camden, Deputy
Grand Patriarch of the order in this
state, held preliminary meeting in
Grand Army hall, and completed arrange
ments to institute lodge here on Thurs
day evening, May 8. There will be pre-
liminary public meeting at that hall at
7.30 o'clock, to give any who may so de-
sire an opportunity to sign an application
to Join. Thirty six names have already
been secured and it is confidently ex-
pected that the lodge will organize with
from so to so members. Mrs. Hotchkiss
and Miss Mary Sooy are the earnest
movers in this locality.

Hermit Thief.

The old hermit, Woodman Crispin, who
has lived near Moorestown for seyera
years, was arrested Saturday on tht
charge of stealing canned goods from the
factory of Thurber, Whyland & Co. This
was the first time the old man was ever
charged with dishonesty, but the evidence
against him was conclusive. On search
ing his cabin the police were amazed to
find pile of nearly three hundred vege-
table cans and a lot of other rubbish
slowed away in a vault under the hill in
the rear of the house. In one of the
rooms there was found about fifty suits OF
clothing in various stages of decay.
In another room the searchers found
over two hundred bottles of elderberry
wine, of which the hermit was very fond,
and which he never could be persuaded
to SELL The house was in filthy condi-
ton and looked as if it had not been
swept for years. The hermit was like
wise in bad sanitary condition and had
to be given regular bath and new outfit
of clothing before they would receive him
at the Jail. He has been living alone for
over thirty years. declining all offers of
relatives to give him a home. Unlike
most hermits, he is well-to-do, owning
mortgages to the value of $4,000. In
searching his house the police found $S4
in silver slowed away in box of old
clothes.

Martin O'Bnen, the new lessee OF Biz
mingham Inn, evidently means to MAKE
the hotel popular place for all classes
He is going to clear up the woods nea
the house, and put up pavilion for dane
ing, and will place tables around for thu
benefit of excursion or picnic parties. A
spur of the railroad runs into the woods
so that excursion trains can back right az
to that portion of the grounds used fol
picnic purposes.
Especial attention will be paid to the
Inn itself and Mr.. O'Brien's past exper
fence will be of great benefit to him here.
He is a native of the Thousand Islands
and is thoroughly versed in all the de-
partments of hotel life. He started his
career as a bell-boy. and was promoted
many times, finally becoming lessee Of
several of the largest hotels in the country
OF these we may name the Windsor,
Thousand Islands; Thomson House, Kane,
Pa; Hotel Wahanheta, Glen Onoko. near
Mauch Chunk, Pa; Wopsononock, AL
toona, Pa; Park Hotel, Altoona, Pa, and
others.
He is we'll known in New York, Phila-
delphia and other principal cities of the
Union, and the registers of his former
hotels show the names of many promi-
nent people, several of whom have al
ready expressed desire to visit him in
his new location. Birmingham Inn is a
lovely place. and it is to be hoped that the
enterprise being shown by Mr.. OBrien
will be literally rewarded.
