The township committee met Tuesday
to take action in granting gas franchise.
There were two competing companies for
the prize, the River Shore Gas Company,
of Riverton, and the Camden and Bur
lington County Gas and Electric Lighting
Company, backed by the American In
vestment Company of New York There
was large attendance of citizens. The
ordinances of the two companies were
read, and the representatives of the COM
panies entered into heated argument in
presenting the claims of their respective
companies A petition signed by oyer
200 taxpayers was presented asking the
township committee to grant the fran
cbise to the Riverton company, and pro-
testing against granting it to the Amer
lean Investment Company, the present
owners of the electric light plant here
The sentiment of the meeting was in fay

beyond the revenue they expect to derive
from 1t. The American Investment Com
pany claimed that their ordinance was
much more favorable to the town; that
their rates were much less; that they
would build plant on the outskirts of
the town and employ all local labor in the
same. After listening to the various ar
guments and finding predominance of
sentiment in favor of the Riverton com
pany, Township Committeeman Arthur
J. Collins moved that the River Shore Gas
Company be granted the privilege of ex-
tending its mains and laying pipes in the
streets and roads of Chester township.
The motion was unanimously adopted by
the township committee amid great ap-

Nirreverence in this remark it was applaud

Rirreverence in this remark 1t was applaud
fed to the echo.
8 One of the speakers brilliant compari,
sons was when he referred to the differ.
ence between Republicans of Lincoln'E
day and the present. He spoke of Lin
coin at one end of a toboggan and Mark
Hanna at the other, and then introduced
the novel idea of gulf under toboggan
by exclaiming in the same breath that the
gulf between the two men was as great
as that which separated Lazarus and the
rich man.
Speaking of the attitude of the United
States in the Boer war, Mr.. Bayan said
'sthat this country had not given any Off
cial expression, because, being engaged
in a similar action in the Philippine war,
the United States did not feel herself in a
position to rebuke England. This was
a brilliant remark, but the question arises
as to who is its originator, for in the pa
pers on Thursday morning there was a
report of a speech made in London the
day previous by John Redmond, Chair
man of the United Irish party, in which
Mr.. Redmond said: ''Official expression
of hostility had not been heard in the
United States chiefly because America,
being engaged in the Philippine war. had
not felt herself in position to rebuke
England as she would otherwise have
done" Had Mr.. Bryan been reading the
papers, or was it another instance of the
minds of great men running in the same
channel
Mr.. Bryan spoke for over an hour. The
hall was lighted with arc lights, and the
electric light station had evidently been
told at what hour the meeting would adj
journ, for shortly after three O'Clock the
current was shut off and the lights went
out. Mr.. Bryan kept on talking. The
extinguishing of the lights caused some
people to leave the hall, and the noise
prevented those who remained from hear
ing the closing remarks of the speaker,
which were really the only flight of ora
tory in the entire speech.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Bryan
took train for Jersey City, thence to
Paterson, where he was to speak in the
evening The audience dispersed, going
to their homes or standing in little knots
on the streets to discuss the speech, for
which it is said the enthusiastic Free
silver advocates of the county paid $780,

committee had been authorized to expend
q small sum of the funds of the associa-
tion for light lunch, but the citizens OF
Moorestown insisted upon making contri-
buttons to the fund, which enabled them
to make liberal provisions to the ardent
satisfaction of all present.
The first lecture in the afternoon was
on School Sanitation, by Alexander H.
Small NJ D., of Riverside.
DR.. Small emphasized the importance
of giving strict attention to the condition
of the atmosphere in the school room. He
stated that while the school room in for
mer times was often one of the coldes
places on earth, no serious trouble result
ed from the spread of contagious diseases
but that the modern school heated by
steam materially aided in increasing thu
prevalence of la grippe and similar dis
cases. He explained, at considerable
length, the nature of different contagiou
diseases and recommended that teacher
give the subject special attention and us
the utmost precaution in preventing tn
spread of disease.
A violin solo by Howard M. Earlini
greatly pleased the audience, after whicl
Dr. Emily G. Hunt gave a lecture Of
birds, their ethics and economic value.
The speaker made a strong appeal for tn
preservation of our native birds an
urged the women, who by the assistanc
of the men were responsible for the beau
tiful and very useful birds, to make sci
entific study of them. She would hav
all to study birds not by the unscientif1
method of collecting their eggs, but b
going into the fields and woods and b
means of observation learn of their habit
and usefulness and beauty. This metho'
of study will have an elevating infiuenc
upon all who engage in this line of invei
tigation and bring joy and pleasure
, such observers.
, DR.. Hunts earnest appeal to the au
dience impressed all with the importanc
of giving this subject careful considers

views since she had experienced the plea!
