In Menorian,


By the death of Mrs. Ruth T. Brewster.
the community has lost one of its oldest
and best citizens, the church an active and
devoted member, and the circle in which
she moved loving and faithful friend.
Born in 1909, she early became member
Of the First and then, only Presbyterian
Church, under the pastorate of Rev.
Jonathan Freeman. To describe the
character of the wives and mothers of that
period. would be unique comparison as
compared with that of the present age.
The church and the home filled chiefly
their hearts and hands. They had their
"Female Religious Tract Society,"" the
| mothers weekly prayer meeting, as we'll
as musical societies, as she with her hus-
band, Mr.. Francis G.. Brewster, were
among the first to establish choir in the
Old Brick Church on Broad street. Later
though strongly attached to the old
church, she united with her husband in
establishing the Second Presbyterian
Church, where she has ever since labored
most faithfully. In the Sunday School
her large class of women, most devoted
to her, will testify to the good which she
has impaired to them. She loved the
gates of Zion. The last time she entered
its courts it was with difficulty she as
cended the steps. Since then some
monts ago, she has longed for the blessed
privilege. She has gone now to walk the
&c olden Streets and to come out no
more forever. She loved to live Yet was
ever ready to obey the Masters call. 1t
was never question with her "is life
worth living?' 1t was full of possibili-
ties for her. Though sorrows and cares
mingled with its blessed amenities, she
could look through it all and see it's
brighter side. She loved reading, flowers,
and music-reared in large family, the
youngest of four sisters, with the COM
panionship of such worthy women as the
Misses Freeman, Mrs. Jane Seeley Mrs.
Hannah Stratton, Mrs. Sarah Sheppard
and Mrs. Johnson Reeves, her sister and
others, all near neighbors surrounding
the southeast corner of Commerce and
Pearl, her birthplace The communion
of these estimable friends was most de-
| lightful. Say not they were lacking the
pleasures of life, it was less wearing and
| more enduring than those of the present
day. She is the last of her circle of
friend of that period. Loving members
of her family survive her, scores of nieces
and nephews honor her memory.
| Eighty-eight years of active life;
| Fought is the battle-ended the strife.
| After her labors and deeds of love,
Victory crowns her in realms above

ACCIDENT TO A HORSE.
1t Gets Frightened and Jumps Against a
Barb Wire Fence,

Alonzo Rogers was out driving in the
country Tuesday when his horse got
frightened at some object in the road and
SHE'D, going against barb wire fence.
The animal was seriously cut about it's
breast, side and legs, and will probably
have to be killed.
Mr.. Rogers jumped out of the carriage
and caught the horse by the head. The
animal got loose from the fence and
started down the road on a run, wedging
Mr.. Rogers between the shafts, dragging
him in this position about a hundred
yards when he managed to free himself
and let the horse go. His clothes were
torn into shreds.
The horse was caught by some one
further up the road. This morning a
veterinary surgeon went out to see the
horse and if the injury is too serious for
the animal to live, it will be killed.

OCEAN CITA, n. j., July 6,-Amoug
the most recent and important real estate
development in Ocean City, and one
which comes as general improvement
to the progressive resort, is the establish
ment of seaside park in the southern
section of the place. A number of acres
of ground have been purchased by j. NJ.
Chester, prominent real estate man
here, and Mr.. Campbell. an Atlantic City
business man, in conjunction with two
New York parties.
This property lies just south of Ocean
City, and will be reached by the local
trolley system and the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's motor line, thus se-
curing connections with Atlantic City
and the neighboring seashore resorts as
well as Ocean City itself. The ground
will be beautifully laid out in the form
of park and will be provided with many
amusement features, while the restric-
tious contained in the Ocean City deeds
will be strictly adhered to. 1t will be
designed especially for picnics and church
excursions.
