near Palatine, fell down stairs on Mon
day evening, breaking her neck, from
which she died in short time. She was
70 years of age on Sunday. She had a
light stroke of paralysis, on Friday which
seemed to affect her mind, though she con-
tinued to go about the house. On Monday
evening about six O'Clock she left the
family sitting room. In a little while
the family heard noise, and going to
the foot OF the stairs, found Mrs, Hiles
against the petition on her head. She
was carried and laid on the bed. and a
physician hastily sent for, but before he
arrived death ensued. An examination
showed that her neck had been broken
by the fall. The remains were brough,
to ber home in this place on Tuesday,

RaSe Ball.

The game on Saturday between the
Woodstown and Clayton clubs, at the

victory for the home players by a
score of 30 TO 6 The visitors could do
nothing with Taylor's pitching and at
the end of the sixth inning he changed
places with Ii ffman in centre. The
latter is southpaw and had speed to
burn. The Clayton boys only made one
bit aud six of them famed the air during
the three innings he was in the box. The
six runs they scored were presented to
them, as the home players didu't half try
after the first inning. the visitors had
four pitchers during the game. By the

Last of Mt. Holly Fairs.

The celebration of its golden jubilee
last year by the Burlington County Agri
cultural Society, which resulted in such
disastrous financial failure, probably
marked the end of the gleAt Mt. Holly
Fair. No preparation has yet been made
for revival of this once great education
al institution, and the probabilities are
that no more fairs will be given there
For several years strenuous efforts
have been made to tide over financial
difiulties, and yet the premiums and
many bills Incurred last year are not paid
and never will be. AS last resort sixty
five of the directo gave their individual
notes for 800 each in 1895 With this
money certain bills were to be paid aud
the notehoders to be reimbursed from
the first receipts taken in at the fair of
1896. Instead of doing this, however, all
the money went to paying the racing
premiums, and thus the noteholders were
shut out.
At the annual meeting, held in January
last, they received a second mortgage of
$1,000. making the total indebtedness
$19 500, not including the outstanding
bills. The second mortgages, by putt
ing up about 5000 apiece more, contem-
plated buying up the property. but this
scheme failed in it's infancy. The society
has defaulted in the payment OF its inter-
est to the Camden Trust and Safe Deposit
Company, which holds the first mort
gage. and the company has begun fore
closure proceedings.
For thirty years Henry I. Budd, State
Road Commissioner. has been president
of this society. and recently he said F: 81
have devoted the best part of my life to
the success of this fair. Ii had spent as
much energy in other directions l would
be a rich man to day."

conference on Pnl,an.nroplc LABOR.

Conf, renee ON PhilaninrOpic Labor.
I Tee Midsummer Conference on
Philanthropie Labor was held in the
Friends' Meeting. house last evening
The conference was opened By the
president reading the 65ih Psalm.
Chas E. Davis then gave an illustrat-
address on the Eucalyptus Tree, and
Mabel e. Davis gave a recitation en-.
titled The Joy of Incompleteness.
A paper entitled "The Kiuderg garten of
the Temperance Reform" vas then read
by Laura E. Holmes. Many good
thoughts were brought out and the dis
cusslon afterward showed that the
paper had been attentively listened to.
The underlying cause for the need of
temperance work is selfshness. The
liquor dealer is iu the business for pei
soDal gain only. 1t is imperative that
parents should teach their children to be
unselfish at all times and they should
not spend all their time within their own
homes, but should try to help those
around them. There is need of greaer
knowledge of scientific temperance in
struction and of our State laws in
reference to this great question. While
liquor leagues are recommending free
drinks, it is important for us to give
more OF our attention to organized
scientific temperance instruction. We
trust that some way may be found to
0taodyS include at least one lesson on
temperance 10 each quarterly of our
First day school lesson leaves One of
the best means of individual work is
committee service. Are we fulfilling our
duty in this matter? Have We not
missed many important lessons and then
found ourselves unable to aid others on
this account ? When We consider the
uncertainty OF legislative action. do we
not think it would be we'll to have our
workers at each State and N ltiOnal
Legislature, although it required much
time and money? 1t is frequently i'm.
possible to even introduce bill touching
only very lightly on the liquor question.
Yet let us not talter, but push on all the
more hopefully ard courageously. Equal
suffrage has direct bearing on the
liquor question. If the majority of
Friends recognize the strel gh of the
liquor traffi; let them show it on election
day by their efforts to decrease this
strength. l. t us vote for the man
Irrespective of party1 who will use his
inf lence to crush out this curs-. We
need organized power courageous
enough to enforce the laws, before we
can succeed. In proportion to our
membership the Society of Friends are
probably doing as much work for tenn
persnce as any other denomination.
After the paper was read remarks were
made by Annie Bradway, Emily Kirby,
Lydia Davis, Lydia H. Norris. Edwin
l. Colson, Amy Davis and others. The
subject of root beer was brought up and
caused an animated discussion. The
meeting then adjourned
