Three Aged Sisters In New
Jersey Reunited After Sixty
Two Years.

Camden, n. j., Sept. 5.-There was a
family reunion in this city last night at
which three sisters. whose combined ages
reached 252 years, met for the first time

garet Kennedy, eighty-two years old, OF
this city; Mrs sabilla Robbins. eighty
years old, OF Phillipsburg, n. j., and Mrs.
Sarah Snyder. ninety years old, of New
field N. j.
For sixty-two years they mourned each
other as dead, though living in the same
state. and two OF them within twenty
miles of each other.

. ter, written by one of the sisters thirty

postoffice. that brought the three women
together.
They were the daughters OF Samuel Nc
Carly, OF Blackwood, ~. j.. and when
their mother died, seventy-five years ago,
the girls were sent to homes In Pcnnsyl-
vania and this state. They did not see
each other for several years, and when
Mrs. Robbins was eighteen years old she
married. Mrs. Kennedy walked across the
Ice on the delaware river to attend the
tks
an OK roast I'm the middle of the river.
Mrs. Robbins went TO the West and
Mrs. Kennedy went South whore she
married, and Mrs. Snyder went to live
down i'm the New Jersey pines, and re-
mained single until she was sixty-two
years old. Each heard OF the others
death I'm later years and none Cf them
had the idea that they would meet again.
Mrs. Kennedy, who now lives at No.
$50 Walnut street. I'm this city, with her
daughter, received not long ago a letter
from the postmaster i'm Blackwoodtown,
enclosing another letter which had been
hidden between two boards I'm the Black
woodtown post office for thirty years T.

name.
When the postmaster found IL he was
going To send IL TO Washington, but an
old resident told him that Mrs. Kennedy
was living I'm Camden. IL was from Mrs
Snyder, living in Ncwheld. inquring
whether her sister was still alive.
Mrs. Kennedy wrote to Newfeld and
the two women commenced To trace I'M

single speech. L say there is no issue
as between Imperialism and antrim
rcriaism except as it has been made
for political effect. The Philippines are
territory of the United States. Who
can dispose of it? The President? No.
II is for Congress To say whether we
shall hold these islands or cede them to
somebody else. That issue Is not here
now. except for party and partisan
purposes 1t is a forced issue. 1t is my
opinion that it has already caused the
expenditure of millions o. money and
the loss of many, many valuable lives,

make ii a legitimate issue"

Allen.

ity of the government IN the islands,"
GIVE the people honest, even-handed
justice and good government; to pro-
tect life and property; to fiji the islands

such part in the Government as they
may show themselves fitted for; to
maintain the laws so honestly and
firmly that no man. however rich, shall
be beyond their reach and no man so
humble that he may not have their pro-
lection"

Yes, it will take years" replied Mr.
