bier at 1912 Atlantic avenue, was run
over and terribly mangled by an
early Reading express train on the
meadows, Wednesday morning.
Tappeiner was walking across the
Reading Railroad bridge, when he
heard train approaching from the
rear. He had just reached the end OF
the bridge, when the train, travelling
at a good rate of speed, reached the
structure. The engineer reversed his
lever and applied the brakes as soon
as he realized the mans peril but the
man threw himself in front of the
train and was cut to pieces. The
COrOner's-J jury rendered verdict OF
suicide, generating the Railroad

below, followed by literary and
MUSCLE exercises in the rooms above.
Past President B. l.. Stevens pre-
sided and called upon volunteer
talent, which was very acceptable.
Patriotic songs were sung and comic
renditions given. Rev. c. d. Sinkin-
son spoke of the growth OF the order
from 33 charter members one year
ago to SO members in good standing
to-day. Throughout the state and
the country the increase has been
most gratifying. The principals Of
the order are purely patriotic, insist
ing that the stars and stripes shall
float from every school house and
that the Bible shall be read in the
public schools.
Editor Hall by special request
made an address. He referred to
the flag, the emblem of our liberties,
which had been established and
preserved at so great cost OF life and
treasure, and how important it is
that every boy and girl be taught
what it represents and what Ameri-
can citizenship really means. He
spoke of the Bible, the inestimable
gift of God to man, as the rule and
guide for his faith and practice, and
that the long established custom OF
reading from it in the schools be not
abolished. But how much more
important to insist that all children
be sent to school and educated SO
that they may read and understand
the bible instead of being allowed to
run the streets and grow up in
poverty and ignorance. And what
a satire is it on American citizenship,
and ON the flag, in this land Of the
free, to have hundreds OF thousands
of ignorant human beings given the
full rights OF voters when they can
hardly speak the English language
and have no conception OF what the
declaration of independence means
or what the stars and stripes signify.

They were inspired by lofty
patriotism. But many and great
dangers still threaten the welfare
and safety of this government and
there is fighting for us OF this genera
ton to do. Patriotic societies have
a great work to do. To preserve
civil and religious liberty, to promote
education, to resist widespread poll
tical corruption, to preserve the
purity Of the ballot and the dignity
OF American citizenship, requires
active, vigilant, true patriotism on
the part of all. Let each and
every one today, at home, at
all times, be truly patriotic and
devoted to the welfare OF his
country and though the battle be
bloodless, the victory will be no less
glorious or less worthy OF laurel
crown.
