Memorial Day exercises brought
out about the usual crowd, though
possibly not quite SO large number
as last year owing, probably, to the
day being little chilly. The exer-
cises were of the usual order. The
outdoor ritualstc service in honor
of the unknown dead was witnessed
by large number of citizens. The
town hall was filed from floor to gal
lery and the address by Rev. Glazier
was attentively listened to. The
speaker delivered an interesting talk
lit could hardly lie called by any
other name. 1t was commendable in
being free from claptrap and taffy
and the entire omission of all refer
ence to political matters. Hon. A.
E. Cudworth presided and introduced
the exercises in very happy and ell
oquent ten-minule speech. Prayer
was offered by Rev. H. E. Forest.
The indoor music under the direction
of Prof. j. B. johnson was fine and
met with frequent applause. Some
three or four of the pieces used were
the composition of the well-known
musician and composer, Mr.. j. B.
Simonds of So. Londonderry.

According to The Ladies' Home
Journal, it is in better form to have a
luncheon served at a large table, espe-
cially when the guests do not number
more than 20, than to have small
tables. Decorate your tables with
flowers and have the rooms darkened
and the gas lighted. 1t is not necessary
to darken the whole house, but only
the room in which the luncheon is
served. Two o'clock is the fashion
able hour for a luncheon. After it
is over the guests usually disperse.

FRANKLIN WAS A GENTLEMAN.

The New York Society of Colonial
Danes has rebulled Mrs. John King
Van Rensselaer,, and admitted the
great great-grand daughter of Benja-
min Franklin to membership, thus
negativing Mrs. Van RS statement
that ''FranlIin was not a gentleman"
Pending the discussion, Mrs. Gillespie
made this reply to the charges against
her distinguished ancestor:
CAS- to the statement made by Mrs.
Van Rensselaer,, that Benjamin Frank
lin was not married. remarked Mrs.
Gillespie, cit is absolutely false. He
married Miss Deborah Read on Sep
tember /, 1890. The records of Christ
church show the baptisms of their
children. and had the parents not been
married no such record could possibly
have been made. There are also deeds
showing that they were married.
''Beniamin Franklin came to this
CITY when he was seventeen years old,
and went to live with John Read. He
fell in love with Deborah, the daughter
of John Read, whose wife wisely OBJ
iected to their union on the ground
that Franklin was too poor to marry
Franklin was sent to England to tit
him for business, and during his alb
sence one Rogers, an Engllshman,
came to America and met Deborah
Read.
thinking he had money, by the
representations he made, Deborah's
mother permitted him to address her
daughter, and they were eventually
married. They had no children.
Shortly after it was ascertained that
Rogers had wife in England. When
confronted with the statement Rogers
left his wife and fled to the West
Indies, where he lived in 1928, two
wears before Franklin married Miss
Read.
when her husband, to whom she
had never been legally married, left
her. the wife resumed her maiden
name of Deborah Read. Lit was then
that Franklin returned to Philadelphia
and eventually, as | said, became Miss
Reads husband.
II am determined that this matter
shall be thoroughly investigated. All
the old families of this city, of course,
are acquainted with the history of the
family and know how absurd are such
charges"
