State Council of Red Men.

The Great Council of the Improved Order
of Red Men Of New Jersey, held its golden
jubilee celebration in Trenton last week.
beginning on Thursday, with the largest
attendance and probably the most interest
ing session, especially from social stand
point, ever held by the organization
About five hundred past sachems, the
national officers and the past officers Of the
Great Council of the United States were
present.
The council fire was kindled at ten
O'Clock in the great council wigwam in
Association Hall, with Great Sachem VIM.
Newcorn, of Plainfield, on the stump.
Most of the morning hours were con-
sumed with the comforting Of the past
sachem's degree.
The reports of the State officers were
read, showing that the order is not only in
a very prosperous condition, but it is the
second largest secret society in the State in
the number of members enrolled.
LOTS OF JERSEY RED MEN.
According to the report of Great Chief
on Records Daniel M. Stevens, of Cam
den, there are 178 tribes in the State,
comprising in all 1851 members.
The amount of wampum received during
the year amounted to S1SS, 573. "A.
Among the expenditures $50, 326.29 had
been paid out for the relief of members;
$50, 1926. 20 for funeral benefits; S55S;35 for
widows and orphans. and $50, 10000 for
other expenses.
The officers were nominated and elected
during the afternoon session.
This was termed an off year, so far as the
election of officers went, as neither the term
of the great chief of records nor that Of
the great keeper of wampum expired; con-
sequently the main contest was for great
junior sycamore.
The election resulted as follows Great
prophet, VIM. Newcorn, of Plainfield;
great sachem, Joseph Z. Nowrey, of Cam
den; great senior sycamore, Blanchard III.
White, of Pemberton; great junior saga
more, DIR. w. s. Whitemore, of Oceanic;
great chief of records, Daniel NJ. Stevens,
of Camden great keeper of wampum,
VIM j. Smythe, of Long Branch.
AGE LIMIT STANDS.
A few years ago the Great Council Of the
United States gave each State Great Coun-
Gil the authority to reduce the age limit at
which members could be admitted to the
order from 81 years, as at present, to 18.
This has been taken advantage of by several
States, notably. Pennsylvania, California
and Indiana with the effect of greatly in
creasing the number of applicants for
adoption
A contest was waged for nearly three
hours between the delegates of north and
south Jersey, and the measure was finally
lost, its supporters failing to poll the
necessary two-thirds vote.

Prudentials New Policies.


The Prudential Insurance Company of
America has marked the opening of the new
year of success by inaugurating a new pol
icy in attractive form-a policy which con-
tains all of the liberal terms which have
heretofore distinguished the Prudential life
insurance contracts, and containing additi-
onal features which serve to indicate how
this company is constantly liberalizing its
policies. The new Prudential policy is a
promise to pay, and contains no confusing
technicalities. Following are some of its
provisions:
The policy is incontestable after one year.
1t is nonforfeitable after one years prem
ium has been paid which means, briefly
that on all kinds Of life policies, after one
annual premium has been paid, sixty days
extension for the payment of premium will
be granted, and after two annual premiums
have been paid, one hundred and twenty
days extension will be granted. All Ord
mary policies except Term and Intermedi-
ate policies and Child's Endowments, now
contain annual cash surrender values, after
two years on Endowments and three years
on Life policies. Surrender values are now
the same on participating as on nonpartici-
pating policies. The insured is also given
onO DCuChu Vi CiitnSIlS Uuo DGuoHCIstIy upon
his own request at any time. Installment
privileges will be granted at the expiration
of the policy, which will furnish yearly
income for the beneficiary The policies
also contain trust fund privilege, thus aft
ording secure investment for the beneficiary
if desired. The army and navy clause,
which requires the payment of an extra pre-
MUM in time Of military service, has also
been eliminated, and no extra premium is
being charged on the lives of women 1t is
such acts as these which make its policy
holders feel that the Prudential is always
looking after their interests and furnishing
them absolute life insurance protection
under the most liberal conditions possible.
The Prudential was very successful last
year, writing over $249OOO,O 900 of new
business, but from the liberal policies which
it is issuing this year, it is apparent that
the Prudential is not company whose
officers are content to rest on laurels already
won.
President Dryden recently said to his
thousands Of agents in the field, "The Pru-
Dental can find no standard of comparison
and competition higher than that afforded
by its own record of the past" and with
this motto in view his men intend making
1901 the best year in the company history.
Particulars of the Prudential can be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Home Office of the
Comnanv aft Npwarly N r

Hedgefeld Sale.

Last weeks Delaware County, Penna,,
Record has the following concerning the
Hedgefeld sale -
Throughout the State of New Jersey,
New York and Eastern Pennsylvania the
name of Clark Petit, of near Woodstown,
N. j., is synonym for high-bred horses,
blooded cattle, thorough farming and
genuine, old fashioned hospitality. Mr..
Petit held horse sale last Wednesday
and that fact was enough to command a
gathering of horsemen from far and wide.
Twenty-Five head of horses and colts were
offered-most of them sired by his famous
Bellman-a grand-looking horse, with a
most docile disposition and record of
2.143. The youngsters were a hardy, fine
looking lot; the sale of twenty three in all
realizing over SO, 800.
Mr.. Petit is also the owner of King
Wedge, fine-looking roadster or coach
horse of 49, hands, of excellent conforma-
ton, in many qualities resembling Mr..
Cassatt's Gardiner, though speedier. Mr..
Petit is about as shrewd horseman as
New Jersey can boast and has done much
to improve the blood of the horses of that
State. Everybody in Jersey knows 'FBell-
man, +" and none that know him but har-
bors a kindly not to say venerable feeling
for his chivalric and hospitable owner
Such man as Petit would be a success in
any business, for grit and push such as his
would most assuredly win out

The Yuha Oil company, who are operating at Yuha springs, about 25 miles southwest from Imperial, recently placed on the ground 22-H power engine and a 1000 pound boiler, and will at once put down some holes in search of oil. N. NJ. Goodwin, secretary of the company, and Supervisor C. II. Swallow, one of the directors of the company, with J. G. Copley, their freighter, were here latter part of last week surveying the road from their camp to Flowing Wells with a view to getting their supplies and piping over this route. This company is financially able to thoroughly test their claim to their complete satisfaction, and if their expectations are realized the Imperial country will produce its own oil, and We look to see all of our streets and public high ways sprinkled with the products of the Yuha wells in the not so very distant future.
