No new cases of scarlet fever have

has been effectually wiped out here.

Quite a severe thunder shower
passed over town last Sunday night.
The lightning was vivid and consid-

A horse belonging to Geo. E. Hor-
ton, driven by Louis de Berlhe over

with collie and died.
Up to this time no clew has been
found of the horse and wagon stolen
last Sunday from Gumble Bros,
and the pursuers have returned
frc m their fruitless search.

A Loving Testimonial.

At the recent meeting Of tLt
Presbytery of Hudson held at Lib
erty, N. Y, a committee was ap
pointed to draft suitable resolution
regarding the resignation of Mr.
Nichols as pastor of this church and
in pursuance thereof the following
were framed;
The Pre- sbytery OF Hudson to
Rev. Thomas Nichols.
Dear Brother-With sincere re-
gret for its apparent necessity, VIC
have complied with the request for
the dissolution Of your pastoral rela
ton at Milford, Pa
In this dissolution we discern ono
of those dispensations Of Providence
which are inevitable in the export
ence Of every minister of Christ.
Happy is he who recognizes the
Masters voice in the summons to
suspend his labors; having, on
review, the testimony of good
conscience.
We are confident that he, who
summons, will provide the "grace''
which "is sufficient:" and we as
sure you that our prayers in your
behalf shall not be withheld nor
our sympathies stinted.
Let us express to you our appreoi-
atioa of your long service in the
pastorate and in the work of the
Presbytery especially of your
scholarly contributions to theologi-
cal study, and guidance of the Pres
bytery in questions of Scholarship
and debate.
We thank you for your sustained
courtesy, and feel ourselves enrich
ed by long and continued fellowship
with you in the service of the Mas
ter.
While all regret that your work
may even appear to draw near its
close, you and we alike possess the
assurance that the results of a faith
full ministry are not lost, for "They
that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the armament and
they that turn many to righteous
Dess, as the stars for ever az
ever. Dan. xu:3.

sideration was carried, the majority
weakly surrendering before fusil-
ade of speech. making, which an eye
witness declared exceeded in COARSE
ness, vulgarity and insult to women
all previous debates upon the sub
ject.
The reconsideration came, how
ever, after the press dispatches had
heralded broadcast the news of the
first action. Many of the leading
papers of the south, including the
Atlanta Journal aui New Orleans
Times Democrat, congratulated the
convention upon its progressive ac-
tion. The Washington Post like
wise heartily endorsed its action
and then continues:
"How can it be right to deny
women property holders a vote in
municipal elections in the ohoioe Of
the officials who are to lay, collect
and expend their taxes, if it be
wrong TO deny them the ballot in
elections involving bond issues9 A
municipal legislature can and often
does expend public funds rashlY
and even oorruptly. 1t is impossi-
BILE to offer an argument for this
just and expedient provision that
the Alabama convention has put
into the new constitution that
is not equally an argument for
equal municipal suffrage. The
movement once begun is bound to
go on. The next step must be full
municipal suffrage to all taxpaying
women. And then will come an
other step, to wit, equal suffrage
rights for both sexes"
1t Doesn't take much of ''wea-
ther eye" to see which way the
wind blows. The intelligent, re-
fined and progressive classes are
slowly but surely recognizing the
inevitable establishment of woman
suffrage and the vulgar, immoral
and ignorant are as inevitably lash.

The opera boufTe warfare in Cen
trail America continues to resemble
vaudeville show. We are inform
ed that, his exchequer having be-
come sadly depleted, Castro, presi-
dent of Venezuela, is on the point OF
attacking Colombia, presumably for
the purpose of securing revenues by
hook or crook. 1t is rare, indeed,
that lack Of money is amplifed into
casus belli, hut 'anything goes"
with some Of our neighbors to the
south. Castro, however, should be
careful when he orders the advance
of his warriors that Uncle Sam's toes
are not nearby, for he might inad-
vertently tread on them.

An Anoient Admonition

On wall in the room in the old
Pinchot mansion corner of Broad
and Hartford streets is a small pic
ture supposedly of Napoleon Bona
parte and over it the legend, "No
trust cash or produce" 1t is sup
posed that this. the work of some
unknown limner, is at least seven
ty-five years old. The house was
probably built about 1918 by Dan
Dimmick, who may have kept both
a store and hotel in the building.
Along in '27 and '2s hotel was
kept there by Samuel Dimmick
while he was building a hotel on
the site of the one which yet bears
the name. The marks of shelving
on the wall near the painting are
yet distinct and might indicate the
location of the bar. That the room
was somewhat decorated with paint
is shown by some remains on the
wall in another part of it where
there is a mottled piece of work
done with a brush. The hand OF
time has not obliterated these an
cient bits of art, but the painters
brush is now forever effacing them
from the walls.

Rev. DIR. Charles Beattie of Mid

not restrain his thoughts, and on
more than one occasion has made
war when peace should reign. He
made a bad break at the memorial
services in Middletown on Thurs
day, which caused many people to
leave the church. It was a most
inappropriate time to promulgate
such ideas. He classed the officers
Of the Pan-American exposition as
anarchists and on a par with those

close the exposition on Sunday

1T WILL BE BETTER.
Sunday North American Announces
It Will Maintain High Stand
ard Of First Issue.

All records, both as to quality of
matter and number of sales, were
broken by the Sunday North Amer
lean last Sunday, when its first
issue was offered to the public. In
each of scores of Pennsylvania
towns several hundred more copies
might have been sold if the supply
had been equal to the demand
There was a great curiosity to see
what the first number would be,
and newsdealers everywhere report
"clean sales"
Curiosity is quite as strong in
regard to the next Sunday North
American. The question is this
will it maintain the pace and
keep the high standard set in its
first issue? The assurance is given
out that next Sundays paper will
be even better than the initial num-
ber,

May Start a Factory.

Samuel Detrick has branched out
in a new departure for this section
this year on his farm over in Ding
man township. He raised this sum-
mer about an acre and a half of
broom corn and has now housed the
tops. The product looks thrifty
and the broom is apparently of ex-
cellent quality and of good length.
He is as yet undecided whether
to sell the corn or manufacture
brooms. There seems no good rea-
son why this industry might not be
made one of profit here. There is
plenty of timber such as is used for
handles in this section, ana the crop
raised by Mr.. Detrick shows that
the corn will do we'll here. Brooms
are a staple and indispensable arti-
Gle and are always salable and the
prices at present rule high.

man who had been seen in town
during the afternoon broke the
hasp on the stable door of Gumble
Brothers, near their meat shop,
took out their horse aud wagon,
hitched up and drove Oh. lie
crossed the Delaware bridge and
stopped there for moment to ar
range the harness since which no
trace has been found of him. The
man is described as being rather
short and stooky with a German ac-
cent. The horse is black and the
wagon top buggy with red run
ming gears. The theft was not dis
covered until Monday morning so
the thief had over ten hours start
and probably was able to reach
some safe place of conoealment.
