TIE COXEY ARMY.


How VIII They be Received in WASH
ington.
The common veal army is again on land
after their cruise on the Chesapeake & Ohio
canal.
The army is now only about sixty-six
miles from Washington by road, and it has
eleven days in which to reach the national
capital 1t is expected that recruits will
join in large numbers within the next few
days.
There are two movements in the District
of Columbia in ralation to CoXey's army.
One is an open effort to secure welcome
and provisions for them. This proceeds
from very few persons. The other move
ment is that of the authorizes and is de-
rigned to secure the public peace and pro
vide against the cranks and criminals who
may be brought there in connection with
the movement, and will need special police
surveillance. The opinion is expressed by
many Senators that the President would
be justified in issuing proclamation warn
ing the men now on their way to Washing
ton in connection with the Coxey's move
ment that the authorities will be prepared
to require the strictest observance of order

ciety Have Special Service in
Bethesda NJ. T.. Church.
A very interesting service was held in the
NJ. E. Church last Sunday morning in com
memoration of the 18th anniversary OF
the Womans Foreign Missionary Society
The service was conducted entirely by the
ladies of that organization, and was not
only pleasing but very instructive.
The organ voluntary at the opening of
the exercises, all extemporization of the
old hymn From Greenland's Icy Noun
tains," gave the keynote for the hour, and
the great cause of Missions was the inspira-
tion of all participants.

auxiliary, but on account of her i'll health
Mrs. Louisa Moore presided in her stead
Mrs. Moore gave history of he Society
from its foundation.in 1869 to The present

The various recitations and original
papers by the different members were all
well given, and could but enlist The hearty
sympathy Of every listener.
The progress and growth OF the society
was shown in an excellent paper by Mrs
Clara Jones, in which some very interesting
figures were given, showing a total mem
bership of l5073e; 145 Missionaries in
foreign fields; 500 Bible readers and teachers;
400 schools and $4,000 pupils, besides a num-
her of medical missionaries, hospitals, dis
peusarics, etc, with $4,000 women annually
receiving medical care, and $4,000 women
under instruction, all of which shows The
Il @ zeal with which christian women work
for the uriilt OF ;heir sisters who sit in
heather darkness
During the twenty five years of its exis-
tence this society has gathered into its
treasury s3,13s,757, of which the Middle
town Auxiliary has raised 81 1870
This auxiliary is the oldest in the Will
mington Conference, having been organized
in 1874 by Mrs Il. B. Stevens during the
pastorate Of the late Rev. DR.. Matlack.
Beautiful music and handsome floral de-
orations with notices and various inscrip-
tions added much to the interest of the ex.
ercises. The day was perfect, and a large
was in attendance The col
lection. a silver offering amounting TO
81 co, was taken by four young girls, and
10 new names were added to the member
ship of the local Society.
At the. close of the service the pastor,
Rev. n. NJ. Browne, made brief address,
commen nding the women for their untiring
affors, and urging them on to still greater
achievements. Those who had the exer-
,ises in charge could but feel gratifed at
he general interest manifested by all.

A knight OF the Quill on a Pedestrian

A very interesting stranger appeared in
Middletown last Saturday afternoon and
by his unconventional attire attracted nc
little attention. He was of medium size
and in form and feature of the pure Anglo
saxon type He was dressed somewhat
after the style of mountaineer, wearing
a grey suit with loose knee pants, long hose
and heavy walking-shoes; a sizable KNAPP
sack on his back and convenient walking
stick, a slouch hat and spectacles made him
rather conspicuous figure in the eyes of
those who are not familiar with pedestrian

were soon flying about. The young man
was more than once called upon to disclaim
any connection with the "Commonweal

ing six months, leave of absence, and is
taking tour on foot, through the peninsula
and adjacent sections having in view
two-fold purpose, physical recreation and
historic and typographical observation. He
was never before in this section, and finds
much of interest he thinks the advantages
of the Delaware Peninsula are but little
known, and as he is not only taking close
scrutiny as he goes along, but also making
mental notes of all he Sees the world may
yet know of the wealth and beauty of this
little garden spot that nestles between the
two bays.
Mr.. Dave remained in Middletown until
Monday morning. He had already visited
Wilmington, New Castle, Elkton and Chesa-
peake, and some days walked distance of
twenty miles, carrying about twenty pounds
of baggage. He seemed not at all fatigued
after ten miles tramp, though his face and
hands showed visible signs of the suns
rays. He is we'll equipped for emergencies,
and will, if all goes well, have pleasant
and profitable pilgrimage. He will take in
the Eastern and Western shore, and other
historic and picturesque portions of Mary
