Down in Burlington County the brain OF

that he had grievance against Robert Davis.

was unable to hold it all. and the overflow found
a place in THE Burlington Democrat" in which
ii was alleged that Mr. Davis, after assisting in
the nomination of Bryan in Kansas City. would
return to New-JeIsey to betray him. Contrary
to his usual conduct in such cases. Mr. Davis re-
piled to the Burlington County man by sending
him a metaphorical mixture of applejack, bad
dreams and the lie direct. AS the burlington

DR.. DEWEY IS COMING.
HE RESIGNS HIS PULPIT IN CONCORD
TO SUCCEED DIR. sTORRs

Concord, n. H. May 6-The Rev. Dr. Harry r.
Dewey. pastor of the South Congregational Church
in this city for twelve years. presented at the
morning service to-day his resignation which Will
take effect May D. DR.. Dewey has accepted a
unanimous call to the Church of the Pilgrims, in
Brooklyn, n. Y. successor to the Rev. Dr. h D
Storrs. Although the announcement was in no
way a surprise, the large congregation was greatly
affected. A meeting of the society will be held on
Friday evening to act. when the resignation VIII be
accepted.
That the Rev Dr. Harry p. Dewey had accepted
the call to the Church of the Pilgrims to succeed
Dr. Storrs was announced at the church by
telegram that read at the service yesterday
morning by the Rev. Dr. NJ. w. Stryker, president
of Hamilton College, who occupied the pulpit Dr.
Deweys decision caused the keenest satisfactlon
as all the members of the congregation were
greatly pleased with him when he preached in the
church two weeks ago and spent several days III
Brooklyn. 1t was not altogether in the nature of
surprise. there a general opinion that Dr.
Dewey was equally pleased with the church ana
the conditions he found them.
It is expected that formal letter of acceptance
will be received in few days and it is hoped that
at that time DR.. Dewey will be able to say when
he will be ready to take up the work in Brooklyn
1t thought Saturday night that no word
would be received from DR.. Dewey in time to be
announced yesterday. but late In the evening
George P. Stockwe received call to the tele-
phone. DR.. Dewey was calling up from Concord
N. If.
to Brooklyn, and would read his resigna-
ton from the church in Concord on the following
day. Mr.. Stockwell was agreeably surprised, and
after expressing his delight at the news asked
DR.. Dewey if he would send telegram, so that
word of personal nature might be read to
the congregation. DR.. Dewey at once sent the
following message. which read in the church
yesterday morning:
Concord n. H.. May 8. 1900.
Letter of resignation will be read to-morr0W I,y
that l may accept call to the Church of the Pill
grims. II. p DEWEY.
In the course of his prayer yesterday Dr. Stryker
made what considered to be touching al
fusion to Dr. Dewey and to DR.. Storrs. He prayed
that the prince might long abide in strength be
fore it said that the king was dead .
II is believed that DR.. Dewey will take up his
work in Brooklyn the first Sunday of June in order
that he may become acquainted with the people
of the church before the vacation season There Is
the greatest unanimity his choice, and the en-
thusiasn is especially strong among the young
people. 1t is thought that the new pastor vii
prove especially attractive to young people, and
will draw large audiences.
