AN INTERESTING MEETING

New Elected Officers of Epworth League of
Fourth Street Church Installed-A Pleas
ing Address by the New President, DIR. j.
A. Cox.
An especially interesting meeting OF
the Epworth League of the Fourth
Street NJ. E. Church was held last eve
ming. The recently elected officers were
installed. A feature of the programme
was the address of the new president,
DR.. ]. A. Cox. DR.. Cox thanked the
League appropriately for his election
and made many valuable suggestions as
TO the proper methods to make the work
of the society effective during the COM
ing year.
His talk upon the social feature Of
League work was very timely and in
structive. He said that what we need
in our church work to-day is more
genuine friendship and not so much
Formally. That if a church is to be-
come inviting to young people, its social
features must be no less sincere than
those Of the world.
He then spoke of the duties Of men,
bers of an Epworth League association.
strongly opposing the old stereotyped
idea that every member should be re-
quired to perform all public duties con-
nected with church work. Fer exam
pie. that some, but not all, could pray
in public, some can sing, some can
speak. and in order to have a successful
League each should work in his re-
spective sphere. His illustration of
Moses and Aaron, in proof of his posi-
ton, could not have been more striking
or appropriate.
The presidents address was well re-
ceived The newly elected officers Of
the society are: President, Or. J. A.
Cox; first vice president, Miss Pearl Dill
lon; second vice president. Miss Estella
Hull: third vice president, Miss Edna
Baird fourth vice president, Miss jean
cite Baird; secretary. Ernest ;Bullard;
treasurer. Mrs. Jessie McAddms; or
ganist. Miss Mamie Montgomery; mus
zeal director, Miss Kate Wincher.

SUED FOR AN HEIRLOOM.

An Interesting and Warmly Contested
Civil Case in Justice Rogers Court Yes
terday.
An interesting civil case was heard
yesterday in Justice Rogers court. 1t
was a suit to recover a family heirloom
by the person to whom it was willed
from one who had it in trust. Mrs.
Agnes Cortes, nee Post, sued Mrs. Annie
Davis, both Of Valley Grove. for the
possession of a gold watch which had
passed through several generations Of
the plaintiffs family and which had
been willed to the plaintiff by her uncle,
the former husband of the defendant.
After his death Mrs. Davis held the
watch in possession and refused to give
it up. The Justice gave the plaintiff a
judgment to the amount of SIPS, the
value of the watch. The case was made
Interesting by the warm discussion and
speeches Of the opposing counsel. The
plaintiff was represented by Geo. b.
Caldwell and the defendant by VIM
ETskine.

The Flints opened an engagement of
a solid week at the Grand last night. to
an audience which was very apprecia-
tive and left the theatre highly pleased
with the entertainment. Prof Flint
and his accomplished daughter are the
most interesting and entertaining hyp-
notists who have ever appeared in this
city. When they were at the Grand last
season, the house was packed nightly,
and the present engagement promises
to be equally successful. Prof. Flint
opened the entertainment last night
with a ten minutes talk on hypnotism,
and later he gave ocular proof OF the
power which re possesses. He was ably
assisted by his daughter Marina. The
volunteers from the audience were
made to perfom all sorts of laughable
things. and the claim Of DR.. Flint's
manager. that his entertainment is fun
nier than a farce comedy, was fully
sustained. Miss Ada st. Claire. the
phenomenal contralto, rendered "Lu-
Gle" Dearest" and then None ever
loved YOU more than !" which was

scope. The Flints will remain the en-
