She /. los Year. Old.

Mrs. Sarah Terry, said to be the Oldest
resident of Philadelphia, took her first
ride in an automobile in that city on We'd
nesday, and was highly delighted with
her experience. She is 1O8 years old, and
the Oldest member of the Daughters of the
American Revolution Mrs Terry was
born at Pemberton, in 1891, her father
being Stacy Doron, soldier in the Revo-
lutionary war, who died from the effects
of his campaigns She was adopted by a
Quaker family named Campion, who care
fully educated her, and, as she has spent
many years residing abroad, she is an in
teresting talker, especially on events
which happened many years ago. To a
casual observer Mrs. Terry appears at
least 30 years younger than she really is.
She is remarkably well preserved. and her
carriage, which has always been her dis
tinguishing characteristic, remains as dig
nified and imposing as ever. She arises at
Z o'clock every morning and goes unassist-
ed down one flight of stairs to the break
fast table. She spends the day in chat
ting with visitors, of whom she has many,
and in short maps in an easy chair. Oc-
casionally she is taken out for a carriage
ride by some member of the Revolutionary
society. At night precisely at z o'clock,
Mrs. Terry is assisted to her room. She
sleeps but little at night Her appetite is
good. Physicians say that this marvel
GUS little woman may retain life for more
than one year to come, for her physical
condition is excellent.

There is friction in the management of
the Inter State Fair, and Secretary John
G. Muirheid declares that he intends to
resign the position. He has been criticised
for lack of conservatism in the expendi-
lures of money, and, in fact, charged with
unwarranted extravaganza. Consequent
ly, this year 1000 was Topped off the
appropriation, and his friends declare that
the economy showed in scarcity of high
class attractions The attendance at the
fair fell off $4,000 from last year. Not
all the directors of the fair favored cur
tailment of expenses, but those that did
attribute the smaller business this year to
the Dewey celebration in New York and
other notable counter attractions. There
is no desire or demand on the part of
either element in the Board for Secretary
Muirheid's resignation, and he will prob
ably be persuaded to retain his position.
1t is acknowledged even by his friends
that he is an expensive man, but they,
nevertheless, endorse his methods as abso-
lutely necessary to the success of the in
stitution. In their opinion, such con-
traction of enterprise as took place this
year, would, if persisted in, ultimately
lead to the ruin of the great fair.

The Beverly club has a fine flag pole for
that pennant.
Gleason played with Pennsgrove on
Saturday and made good record.
The pennant was presented to the Bey-
erly club last week by President Holt
There was no game at Burlington on
Saturday on account of the cold weather.
The Cleveland Wheelmen had been booked
to play there.
The Palmyra clubs hackers are already
preparing for next years campaign. Over
5000 has been subscribed, and team is to
be selected early.
During a game at Norristown, on
Thursday, Selden of the Cuban Giants
tripped and fell while running for a fly
ball, breaking leg.
Kelly, formerly of the Mount Holly
club, has secured position as shipping
clerk with the Pennsylvania railroad,
which was the reason for his playing with
that team.
Campbell and Perkins did the heavy
hitting for Mcclure against Chester on
Saturday. Each had four hits, two of
Campbells being home runs, and one of
Perkins two Dagger.
Tommy Dunn did the pitching for Pei
ham against Chew A. A., two German
town clubs, on Saturday. He held his
opponents down to five hits, although
poorly supported, and struck out twelve
men.
The Bordentown A. G. won its eleventh
straight victory on Saturday by defeating
White Hill. Score IA to g r. Stanton
and Saddler composed White Hills
battery. The feature was the umpiring
of j. P Seward.
As far as can be ascertained, the clubs
composing the County League this season
are candidates for admission into next
years organization. 1t is probable, as
result of the valuable experience gained
in 1899, that radical changes will be made
in the rules
Some managers are in favor of abolish
ing the resolution requiring the handing
in of a list of players, and substituting a
rule placing limit on the salary list
This, it is argued, is more practical, and
would supply the teams with about the
same grade of players.
More attention should be paid to keep
ing correct scores of the games. Some O.
the books show carelessness, inaccuracies
and favoritism. 1t is difficult to find ;
case where the two scores kept for eacl
game agree. Some of the clubs have M
record whatever of number of games.
The committee appointed to conside
the Bordentown- Beverly protested gam
of September 9th, met at Burlington Oh
Tuesday night and decided to dismiss tn
case because there was no ground for tn
protest. Bordentown's only claim for set
ting the game aside was that, being playec
under protest by Beverly, it was merel.
an exhibition game. This plea was foun
untenable for the reason that no regularl,
scheduled game can under any circum
stances be changed into an exhibitio
game. The protest was of flimsy char

Another robbery was committed early
Friday morning. This time William Bas-
tian was the sufferer, his shoe factory in
West Burlington being broken into and
robbed of several pairs of shoes and about
two dollars in small change Friday
morning when Mr.. Bastian came to the
factory he found the dog that he had left
inside the building when he locked the
place up, out in front of the building.
1t is supposed the robber threw piece of
burlap over the dog, thus sitting its bark,
and then dropped the animal out of a win
dow. Mr. Bastian was at the building I'M
til one o'clock Friday morning and by
this it is known that the robbery must
have been committed between that time
and dawn.
Broad Street NJ. E. Church was crowd
ed Sunday, most of the congregation
being persons of advanced age, as it was
sold Folks Day." and special service
was held under the auspices of the Ep-
worth League. The church choir render
ed appropriate anthems and the pastor,
Rev. Henry Betting, preached special
sermon entitled 'The Path of the Just.
He took his text from Proverbs iv, IS,
''The path of the just is as the shining
light which shineth more and more with
the perfect day."
The Christian life was likened to the
light Of day. 1t begins with the CONVEX
sion of soul into the new life and grows
stronger and stronger with each succeed
ing day, as the light grows stronger with
each succeeding hour until high noon,
which in the natural world is accepted as
''the perfect day" Then begins the de-
cline of the light until finally the sun
sinks into rest in the west. But in this
one respect the Christian life differed from
the light of the world terrestrial. While
the life of Christian declines day by day
until that stage is reached which is called
second childhood, his spiritual experience
grows more luminous until it breaks forth
into "that perfect light" which shineth
forever in the world eternal
At the conclusion of his sermon the pas
tor, on behalf of the senior and junior
branches of the Epworth League, present
