to a church in Salem, and left yesterday
for his new station. He has been here
nearly five years and in that time made
many friends in the town, and his remov-
al is regretted by not only his own church,
but by the citizens generally. During
his stay here Father Lyons has devoted
himself to his church work, one of his
most earnest desires being to reduce the
debt that had accumulated. Since the be-
ginning of the present year he paid $500
off, making $2,850 he has paid since he
came to Mount Holly. In his farewell adj
dress, on Sunday, Father Lyons thanked
all = Protestants and Catholics-for the

him in his work. The best wishes of our
accompany Father Lyons to

and energetic young clergyman, will be
pastor of the Sacred Heart Church.

The Hospital.

Circular letters have been sent out tC
clergymen in this county asking that a day
be designated as Hospital Day" or
which collections shall be taken for the in
stitution. The necessity for asking this
assistance is the fact that the hospital is
doing great work. 1t is relieving sickness
and suffering to a large extent. During
the past year the surgical cases have in
creased very much and that means extra
expense. There have been operations
performed in the hospital that have here
tofore been taken to city institutions
Some of the patients have been able tC
pay fee, but those who were unable tC
remunerate the hospital were in the ma
jority.
If the hospital were compelled to close
its doors for lack of funds it would bt
sadly missed. The physicians on the staff
work hard to maintain the place and re-
lieve suffering. Their labor is of the
charitable nature, and they put in many
hours for which they receive nothing but
thanks and the satisfaction in knowing
that they are doing all in their power tc
aid their fellow men. The call for assis
lance at this time should not go unheeded
Every citizen of Burlington county has
an interest in the hospital and should give
his mite to keep it in shape to continue 6
good work

The Champions.

+ Bordentown salutes the Mount Holly
base ball club as champions, thusly:
1.-THE agony is over. Mount Holly is
champion as well as pennant winner.
Having settled the pennant question,
Mount Holly condescended to play Bur
lington best two in three merely to crafty
the latter's boast that it could conquer
with its latter-day stars. Better would it
have been for the whole rag-tag and bob
tail of ambitious Burlington had it thrown
it's false pride to the four winds, and laid
its misfortunes at the door of the bloom
ing umpires' rather than rouse its doughty
opponents to their extreme wrath. But
Burlington is done for at this dawn of a
new century Its past glories are inter
mingled with John L. s. Mount Holly
has nobly earned the right to strut through
every county league town and demand
that every base ball rooter shall bow down
to it and pay the homage due to it as con-
quering hero. 1t is extremely painful to
talk thus, but facts are facts, even if such
a grand old burg as Bordentown has also
to join the ranks of defeated clubs.

About month since Mrs. Lydia Hill
yard died at her home in Vincentown, and
as will could not be found, great deal
of anxiety was felt by the prospective
heirs, and all hope of finding the docu-
ment was given up. On Tuesday, while
woman was cleaning the house, she
came across some old papers tied in a
bundle, and upon further examination the
will was found among them. This dis
covery has probably settled matter that
would otherwise have been disposed OF by
the courts. The paper was read before
the heirs, all of whom appeared to be
satisfied with its contents.

4 FREE TELEPHONE.
From The St. Paul Globe.

From The St Paul Globe.
Recently an experiment has been made Of the
use Of free telephone. 1t was in an inconsider-
able town in Wisconsin, A free telephone sta
ton was established placed in a prominent
position and the public invited TO use it with
out let or hindrance. The result is accepted as
a test of the utility OF free telephone service
although il was an entirely unjust and partial
one.
The telephone company, at the suggestion Of
the Mayor of the community, established free
public station. 1t placed in a booth the
intersection of two principal streets, the
sidewalk. At night the booth was lighted with
electricity. It's interior contained nothing but
card of the subscribers and the instrument
Two or three months after the experiment was
naugurated it was declared TO have proved a
popular success from the start"
But the sequel was not satisfactory. While
the COmpany'S list Of subscribers was inCTeas-
ing with remarkable rapidity and the increase
was generally regarded as due TO the increased
value of the telephone service to merchants by
reason of the number Of people with whom the
free telephone brought them in communication
three months later the experiment was aban-
dOned failure.
The reason for the failure. as declared by the
company and the merchants, was the abuse of
the free service by certain irresponsible men,
bers of society who abused the privilege offered
to them Youngsters and irTesp sponsibles" had
defaced the booth and used the instrument
