 John Schlosser, a lad of ten years, was nearly drowned yesterday after noon at African lake. Johnny, with a number of the boys, was paying near the edge of the pond where there were several thin places. The ice began to crack under the weight of the crowd of boys, and wild scramble was made for the land. All reached the coveted spot but Johnny, who was soon strug- glng in the water. Two young men, Christopher Lally and Andy Healy, went to his assistance, but the ice was very thin and soon the three were in the water. A crowd gathered soon af- ter, and in short time with the assist ance of pole and some rope secured the three persons. The Schlosser boy had disappeared for the second time, when he was caught by Lally, who held him above the water until assistance arrived. At the places mentioned bot tom has never been found. The bottom, or what can be seen of it, is black, soft, mud, but there is never any end to it. At the adjourned meeting of the Arc tic Engine company held last evening the committee on arrangements was appointed, Charles A. Tom1inson, San- ford A. Hawkins, Williap B. Brotherton William l.. Merwin, Dr. Edward c. Beach, Walter M. Irving and George A. Watts. -. The regular meeting or the Milford Wheel club will be held on Thursday evening.

Teachers, Association.

The monthly meeting of the Burling-
ton County Teachers Association was
held in the high school building, Mount
Holly, on Saturday.
Prof. o. G. ]. Schadt, of Philadelphia,
who is forming a class in German in
Mount Holly, spoke to the teachers with
reference to those joining his class who
wish to study German, as there probably
will be no German taught at the Associa-
tons meetings this year.
An interesting memento from MORO
Castle, Santiago, piece of wood bearing
Spanish inscription, was passed around
for inspection.
County Superintendent Stees spoke in
reference to the Ward system of teaching
reading which he desired to have fully
presented to the teachers, and he asked
for an expression of opinion as to the
best time for it, 1t was suggested that
during the annual Institute would be the
best time, from which opinion there was
no dissent
After the algebra lesson, which was in
radical equations, Mr.. Watts solved a
problem in percentage, which had given
considerable trouble to the teachers at the
late examination. The arithmetic lesson
was in proportion, Mr. Watts solving some
of the more difficult problems in Brook
Arithmetic,
In the afternoon Miss Anna M. Reed, Of
Burlington, conducted the literature class.
The lesson was the Elizabethan period
Miss Vansciver read a paper on The
Manners and Customs of the Elizabethan
Period" Selections were read from some
of the earlierrwriters. Spencer's "Faerie
Queene" will be studied at the next lesson

That Mount Holly has an abundance OF
home talent of ability has been conclus
lively demonstrated during the past week.
The entertainment in the opera house
on Friday evening, for the benefit of the
Hospital, was fine affair and has received
nothing but praise.
The play was the Merry Cobbler, who
was impersonated by R. S. Wallace of
New Egypt, Mrs. Wallace taking the part
of Stella Derrom. They have had exper-
fence in the entertainment line, and that
they successfully portrayed the characters
assumed is a certainty.
j. Blake Slack took the part of heavy
villain-rather difficult task for fellow
who has no trace of villainy in his daily
life, but Blake acted all right.
Harry Cross was Stacks side partner in
the person of a detective who succeeded
in getting wonderfully Jagged" on sar-
saparilla. He did very clever piece of
acting. Harry Cox, as coiored Bob
showed that he was capable of doing more
than was allotted to him this time
Miss Irene b. Gaskill, as the deserted
wife, and Miss Carrie j. Kingdom, as the
Irish landlady, filled their parts creditably.
The country band made quite hit.
Beverley C. Kingdom with an umbrella
for baton, led them. Prosecutor
Budd, as a butcher boy, carried a
bass horn. In his efforts to blow it he
ran out of breath and for an encore
was compelled to take the cymbals, which
Stacy B. Lippincott, as Irish Dan, carried
at first. Stacy was admirably disguised and
only by his knowing wink as he marched
around the stage were his friends able to
recognize him, Clarence H. Polhemus
was the village swell, and was attired in a
costume that caused all the dudes in town
to weep because they did not own it. He
carried a trombone. Charles K Chambers
! represented hired man, whose task was
to play a ten-cent drum. Harry Cross
was the baker and he beat the base drum
to perfection. George A. Lippincott, the
sport, carried a cornet This combination
PLAYED the different instruments regard
less of time, music or feelings of the
au dience.
A great hit was made by Miss Mabel
Kelley, who appeared as a colored girl and
sang a goblin song. Her acting was
great She needs but few lessons to
become the only original Topsy." In
marked contrast to. Miss Kelley's study
in black, came study in white" by
Miss Elizabeth Cox, who, in a sweet voice,
sang two solos, one of which was accom-
panied by graceful dance. These two
young ladies captivated the audience and
were heartily encored.
Miss Edith Kelley was the accompanies
and much of the success of the musca
! part of the programme was due to hel
perfect guidance. Misses Laura Lippin
J colt and Edith H. Kingdom sang solos anC
Norman Lynn and Herbert Kille, as mis-
| chievous children, created much amuse
ment.
The lower part of the opera house wa
: filled, and there were few vacant seat
upstairs.

A Magnificent Publication upon the South
The wonderful progress which the
South has been making in all lines of in
dustrial commercial and intellectual de-
velopment has been most fittingly set
forth in a magnificent volume, which,
after months of careful preparation, has
just been issued by the Southern Railway
This book, the title of which, The EN-
pire of the South, " conveys an idea of its
character is beyond question one of the
most comprehensive and at the same time
artistic publications ever issued from the
press. 1t contains nearly two hundred
octave pages, over four hundred exquisite
ly printed illustrations, and makes a pres
entation of Southern interests in all lines
of human activity, which for thorough
ness of treatment has never been ap-
preached.
The opening chapter of the book under
the caption of ''The South Yesterday, To
day and Tomorrow, discusses in a broad
and forcible manner the present and flu
ture of the Southern States, treating at
considerable length the various interests,
such as agriculture. cotton, tobacco, iron,
coal, resorts, climate, etc. Following this
are chapters devoted to each of the States
south of the Ohio and Potomac, and east
of the Mississippi rivers.
These give brief, interesting sketch of
the early history of our state, and then
touch upon all its important activities,
showing the progress being made not only
by the state itself, but by the leading
cities.
The author of the work, Mr. Frank
Presbrey, is a close student of Southern
progress, and in the collection and prepa-
ration of the immense amount of impor-
tant information given in the book, has
had the cooperation of the officials of the
Southern Railway. The distribution of
this magnificent volume will do an meal
culable amount of practical good in call
ing the attention of the world to the South,
and the Southern Railway has demonstrat-
ed its faith in the future of that section by
the expenditure of the many thousands of
dollars which this great work must have
cost Those who are fortunate enough to
receive a copy of this edition de luxe,
which is sent with the compliments of the
company, will prize it as most valuable
| addition to their library
