ELDERS FOR DIR. TALMAGE.
Meeting Next Week to Supply a Need
at the First Presbyterian Church.

of the First Presbyterian Churcn.
Rev. DR.. T. De Witt Talmage, co-pastor
with Rev. Byron Sunderland of the First
Presbyterian Church, wants several elders
added to the board in that society. There
will be a meeting to discuss and if possible
supply the need a week from next Thurs
day. DIR. TaImage said this morning there
had been no meeting at MS house 10 CON
slider the subject.
Or. TalmaEe called the problem to the
a,teution of members of his church last
Thursday evening. He said his la bors were
largely interfered with by the lack. II was
n tremendous obstacle to church growth to
have the number of elders too small. but
the way to overcome it was easy if members
would willingly take up the work laid be-
fore them He had talked to a number
who were admirably qualified, but all had
hestated, because they felt unequal to the
task
Two elders, he said, had recently been
lost To the church-One by death, another
by remoy al from the city. One of these was
Mr.. Wight, who had died few weeks ago.
and the other Mr.. X night who had removed
IN New York city or Westfield, N. j., he
wasn't sure which. Another elder had been
ill for a long time and unable to attend to
the duties of the place.
These places, said DR.. Taimage, to the
membership, should be filled at once and
seven or eight new men chosen to make up
portunity to advance the interests of the
church and the cause was being lost by the
delay.
DR.. Sunderland. who was absent from his
home for several weeks after the death

city. He is not yet recovered entirely from
the shock Of lis wife's death.

TAKE YOUR HOME WITH YOU.
An American House Wagon Which
Rivals the English House Boat.

The EnSlishman has long enjoyed that
exclusively British institution-the house
boat-but an American genius has recently
made an application for patent on some
OF the features OF land craft which an
swers pretty much the same purpose as the
house boat. With such "A GeviCe as this a
small family can journey AT their will or
pleasure over the land and not the least

The patent is asked for oil the collapsible

DIED IN 4 DEATH-TRAP.
Hartley Branagan Walked Into the
Canal and Was Drowned.

The man who was found drowned in the
James Creek Canal, near the NJ street
bridge, southwest, as told in The Morning
Times, was identified this forenoon as
Hartley Branagan, a very light colored
man, WHO resided with his wIre and chill
dren at No. 341 NJ street southwest, near
the place where his body was founc float
ing in the grimy waters Of the canal.
The body was identified by the wife, who
called at the morgue about $50 O'Clock.
Branagan was thirty-five years of age.
When last seen, the police say, he was
drinking with a companion near the bridge
about IL 80 O'Clock last night. An hour
later his body was fished out Of the canal
by the police.
He had evidently walked overheard while
intoxicated, as the canal banks are with
out protection of any sort, and the place
where Branagan was found has long been
known as q death-trap.

RIG OF A COON HUNTER

The rig OF coon hunter includes a
lantern and such other things as he may
deem necessary to his comfort. His clothes
must be untearable, for ne is out on a
tramp through woods, and nothing else,
in darkness that is only made visible by
the fitruI CLEAN Of his lantern. There is
no seeing the way or avoiding any but
the larger branches in the path, and the
coon knows more than to wander in open
country. Not he. Only the deepest woods
will do for him. There are more chances
to dodge and hide and double than else
where.
The quintet filed their way more or less
silently through JohnStUn's woods, each
with lantern. The day had been rainy,
but had cleared off, and the sky was moon

autumn set of starry gems. Old man

Single file was now the rule, the coach

grew how he could lay the trail through

previous trips many times repeated could
make It possible, and right here comes
one of the fine points in the science. One
