FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH DAY.
An Interesting Occasion-Aged Mem
 bers Gave "Reminiscences. -

An Interesting Occasion-Ased Mem bers Gave "Reminiscences. Yesterday was what, with the mem bers of the First Baptist church of this city, is known as church day" or in fact the day they celebrate" It marks
 the anniversary of the church year and the main object of the celebration is
 that all members of the church, both
 young and old. may assemble In the
 church parlors and by various means
 become better acquainted and thus pro-
 mote the sociability of the congrega-
 tion.
 In the afternoon yesterday the older
 members of the congregation assembled and they spent several pleasant hours in recounting the incidents of the life of the church from the time of it's or ganization. over half a century ago, and also the principal facts in connec- tion with the existence of what was Hope Baptist church. until the recent uniting of it with the First Baptist un- der the latter name Mrs. Phelps, WluOW or the IHuCu eSletIitd pdStoi ol the church for forty years, was expect ed to be present and speak to those assembled, but illness prevented It was arranged for her to occupy tEe self same chair which her husband used for many years, and she was expected to tell several things of great interest. A number of others made informal re- marks, among them being Superinten- dent Preston, Mrs. Stow, widow of Deacon Stow, who was with the church for about fifty years; Dr. E. J. Walker of Calvary Baptist church, formerly of the First church: Deacon Hauson, Deacon Cooper, the present pastor, the Rev. Dr. Sags and others. Light refreshments were served This meeting lated until after o'clock
 The evening was given over primarily young people of the church. It was wholly informal and delightful in the extreme. A number of musical seleC- tions were given, chief among which was a piano duet by the Misses Danks Miss Catherine Manross. and vocal solo by Frank Bunnell.
 A large number of intere sting relics, both of the old church from the time of it's organization, and other things about the city, were on exhibition.
 The church was splenddly decorated, the potted plants and palms used being rom the conservatory of Dean Way and, a prominent member of the ] ,hurch.

Charles Bronson Well Known Here

Bronson was employed by the New Jersey Steel Tube company in Harrison and held a responsible posi- tion. A few months ago he was dis charged for padding the payroll and collecting $56.76 on the name of a ficti- tious employe Not satisfied with this he sent a letter to one of the members of the firm threatening him with harm unless he sent him $50. Bronson was then arrested on two charges, one of blackmail, the other of embezzlement

opened fire on them at a range o1 | twelve hundred yards. Subjected tc this cross shell fire and to the steady
 volleys from the farmhouse the Boels
 were compelled, after three or four
 minutes of a particularly warm time. tc | wheel about and gallop for cover under
 the ridge from which they had come.
 In the meantime the small band of | Canadians and Mounted infantry on the other flank found themselves opposed to | a force seven times their own number. About six hundred Boers advanced upon them, under cover of the belt of trees and charged upon the thin line, 1 calling upon them confidently to sur render. Lieutenant Carruthers, of the | Canadians, promptly sprang to his feet ] and crying, Back! No surrender" shot down the foremost man with his revolver at distance of fifteen paces. The men were not slow in emulating their gallant leader. There was abso- lutely no cover for them except the short grass, but, lying down in 1t at full length, they fired steadily and straight and forced the Boers to bolt back to the
 screen of trees The enemy however, were determined to capture or annih- late the little band. While some of
 them climbed into the trees, and, from
 that position of advantage, fired down on to our men, the others extended their
 line, and quickly brought the defenders
 under a decimating cross-fire.
 But every man of the seventy proved himself hero. For two hours, until all
 but fifteen of their number had been killed or wounded, they kept the six hundred Boers at bay. It was not till
 then that the enemy ventured to make another rush, and succeeded in captur- ing the handful of survivors. The Ca nadians had twenty-one men out of twenty-four killed and wounded, and the Mounted infantry lost thirty out of forty-fve. Lieutenant Carruthers was the only officer who was not either slain or seriously hurt. He had several flesh wounds and his clothes were per forated In many places with bullets, but he stoutly refused to go to the hospital. When he was taken prisoner some of the Boers wanted to shoot him there and then; but they ultimately thought better of it. saying that he was 'too brave man to die in that way" Eve ny one of the dead had been shot re- peatedly, and most of the wounded were struck more than once. Surgeon Hoops, for instance, was hit twice in the wrist. as well as in the heel and the to the London Standard

BIRD INTETIIGENC,E.

During a high wind one summer day young oriole was thrown from its nest to the ground, It was picked up by kind hands and kept in the house till the storm was over and then placed on the roof of the piazza. A watch was kept behind the closed blinds of a window near by to note proceedings $ on the part of the parent birds. They in the meantime had seen the little one borne away and had followed it to the house. and as it was kept near the open window, it's cries had apprsed them of it's whereabouts. They soon came to it on the roof and lowered about it. doing much talking and consulting together.
 Finally they alighted near the little one, and the female slipped her wing under it and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male, who fidgeted about coming to the little one. spreading his wings over it, then flying to tree, when the female followed him and brought, him back and again slipped wing under the little one.
