monv.
The operation was decided upon as a
last resort by the physicians 10 save his

CUPID AT WORK IN SCHOOL,
Eight Millville Teachers Learn Lessons
of Their Own.

MILLVILLE, n. j., Sept Cupid has
played pranks with the public schools
during the summer recess. II may be
all due to the era of prosperity that
seems to be sweeping joyfully over this
section of the earth, or it may be due
to the pleasant weather of the past
summer, but certainly matrimony has
taken a deep root upon the corps OF
teachers of the schools.
When the board of education met last
night il was confronted with the resigna-
tions of no less than eight of the young
women who have been teaching the
young idea how TO shoot, but who have
evidently been learning lessons of their
own during their holidays.
The members of the board had no hesi-
tation in saying that while they were
sorry for the schools they were very,
very glad for the teachers, and they at
once placed on the regular lists a sufii-
cient number of supernumeraries to I'LL
the vacancies caused by Dan Cupid.

REV. MR.. BORERS SIXTH
ANNIVERSARY SERMON
Tells Story of Barnabas'
Trip to Antioch.
Methods Employed in Gathering the
People Were Those of Love,
Sympathy and Comfort.

| Rev. John c. Bowers, pastor of St
Marks Lutheran Church, near Twelfth
and C Streets southwest, who returned
from his vacation last week. preached
his sixth anniversary sermon at the II
o'clock services yesterday, and was lis
tened to attentively by large congre-
CATION. His text was taken from Acts
xi:23-"Who, when he came and had
seen the grace of God, was glad, and
exhorted them all that with purpose OF
heart they would cleave unto the Lord
Rev. Mr.. Bowers said:
Some of the greatest hindrances to
the progress of Christianity are con-
verted by the Lord into its strongest
helps; many Of the seeming ills of life
become its greatest blessings, and the
hardships and deprivations of the pres
ent are changed into stepping stones by
which We rise higher and come into pos,
session of nobler and better things. This
is true of the entire history of the
Christian church. We have an illustra.
tion of it in the portion of Scripture in
which our text stands.
The stoning of Stephen and the
persecution that followed caused the
carly Christians to be scattered in many
directions. The officials and those OF
high rank thought in this way they
would blow out the gospel fire, but the
more they opposed 1t and lashed it. and
tried to quench it the brighter it burned
and the more its sparks scattered in
every direction. So, instead of weaken
Ing the forces OF Christianity and re-
tarding its progress, persecution and
opposition helped advance its cause
Mr.. Bowers then proceeded to tell of
the sending of BaS-nabas to Antioch to
investigate the work and encourage the
converts and called the attention of his
hearers to some of the lessons suggested
by the visit. First" he said, ''he saw
the grace of God. Some people, when
they enter place, are attracted by its
scenery, curiosities. buildings, libraries,
and halls of government.
Saw Many Imperfections.
Being a good man, Barnabas natu-
rally looked for the manifest work of
divine grace and he was glad. While
he saw many imperfections in the lives
or MS brethren, yet these seemed as
naught compared with the marvellous
changes the Gospel had wrought in
them. Much depends today on the
standpoint from which we view things.
not only i'll our religious experience. but
in all the affairs of life.
''Barnabas exhorted the people that
with the purpose of heart they would
cleaye unto the Lord He exhorted
them-he did not harangue them. he
did not scold them, he did not find fault
with them, but with heart full of love
and sympathy he comforted them.
IF we look back we shall see that
our best friends are these who encour-
age US. while we owe but little to those
who discourage us. Much of the So
called exhortation of today is the emu
lation of self and the denunciation of
the old truths. the old Bible, theology.
and the ordained ministry"

SIR WILLIAM MULOCK
DEFENDS SOCIALISM
Favors National Ownership
of Public Franchises.
Canada's Postmaster General Believes It
Would Act for Best Interests
of All Concerned.

/ NEW YORK, Sept. Sir William
Mulcck, postmaster general of Canada,
who has been attending the Colonial
conference in London, has arrived in
this city. Before leaving for Ottawa he
had something to say about government
ownership of franchises, which subject.
however, he admitted had not been dis
cussed at the conferences.
"Is not that step toward Socialism,
Sir William was asked when he had de-
fined his views.
well, what is the ,matter with So
cialism," he replied, eff it is on good
foundation?
Some of the advantages of a govern
ment ownership of the telegraph lines is
in the first place that it insures Sc
crecy, and unless there is such owner
ship there is no pledge that messages
given to companies will be secret; again,
under a government ownership there is
always cheaper service, which is an
advantage to the people.
Postofice Service.
Take the postoffice service. There
we have a guarantee of secrecy. No
matter whether letter which has been
placed in the mails, and under govern
ment care goes to the dead letter office
and is there read. you have the assur-
ance that the contents of that letter will
not be made public. This is because
letters are handled by officials of the
government, and 1t Is the government
which guarantees secrecy
In the matter of railroads there are
the same advantages of a cheaper rate
and good service. Look at the mat
ter in another light. What right has a
railroad to hold town or village at
its mercy by saying that the line shall
not run through that place or make it
accessible unless the officials of that
road are satisfied or so desire?
Government Ownership.
Certainly Government ownership
means an end to those conditions and a
betterment of the service. II the Gov
ernment owns a railroad there Is an
end to discrimination. either in the
matter of where road shall run, how
1t shall be run, or as to rates and
tariffs
Matters at the present day are look
ing toward Government ownership, and
believe time is coming when there
will be complete Government owner
ship. In Canada we move Slowly, for we
have big country and a small popula
tion. and 1t is necessary to spend our
money for other improvements"

Joseph Jefferson, the dean of the
stage, is responsible for the almost
worldwide fame of this little church.
When the actor George Holland died in
New York city, some twenty years ago,
Joseph jefferson went TO Reformed
Episcopal Church on Madison Avenue to
arrange for the funeral. The story goes
that he was met brusquely with denial
of his request. The body was refused
admission. In his trouble, knowing not
what to do, he urged the case, but was
told to go to the Little Church Around
the Corner.
ITO the Little Church Around the Cor
ner the actor was borne. The rector met
them at the door There in the church
the solemn words of the service were
read and prayer made for George Hol-
land
God bless the little church around
the corner said Joseph Jefferson. The
actors took up the cry. Their hearts
had been stirred. The song went around
the world, God bless the Little Church
Around the Corner
That's the church that touches the
hardest. the most cynical and the most
despairing. The little church will open
its doors m every wandorer

GAS STOVES FOR THE POOR.
Baltimore Relief COMMITTEES Has Anti.
dote for Coal Famine.

BALTIMORE. MD, Sept. 7.-Acting
upon the suggestion of John S. Wilson,
vice chairman of the citizens relief
committee, Mayor Thomas G. Hayes.
chairman of the committee, has called
meeting. to take place in his office on
Tuesday, to consider the question OF
obtaining fuel for the winter. The
prospect or an indefinite prolongation of
the anthracite coal strike attaches grea,
interest and Importance TO this meeting.
Mr.. Wilson wrote to the mayor concern
ing the necessity for providing sub
stitute in case of failure of the usual
anthracite coal supply.
Mr.. Wilson was asked today If he had
a deinite plan TO propose. He said:
my plan concerns the use of gas as
fuel it may be that someone has bet
ter plan for the use of oil or some other
substitute for coal.
"a gas stove has been put on the mar
ket that will furnish heat and do the
cooking for family of five or six per-
sons at cost of about 50 month. Re-
member that we are considering fani
lies of limited means, who usually de-
pend upon the kitchen stove for heat in
winter. The first is, OF course, turned
out from bedtime until morning and
blankets furnish the warmth during the
night.
'In Philadelphia 10000 small houses
are supplied with these stoves. which
are reported to be very satisfactory.
Now, ii we can make arrangements to
furnish these stoves at the wholesale
price. or perhaps less, and at the same
time make terms with the gas company
for reduced rates to the users of such
stoves, we will have made a long step
toward solving the problem for this win
ter. More than that, If the use of gas.
oil and other substitutes becomes gen
eral in the large cities it will result in
a permanent reduction in the price of
coal

FORCING OUT VETERANS.
Revision of the Active List Begins in
New York.


NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-several forced
retirements this week of veteran policc-
men of the grade Of sergeant or under
are said to mark the beginning OF an
effort to get off the rolls the name OF
every man in the police department not
up to the standard OF physical vigor.
Two, possibly three, inspectors and at
least six captains will be pensioned be-
fore January l. The chief difficulty is
that most of the men it is desired to
displace are veterans of the civil war.
In the case of veterans retirement not
purely voluntary must be only on sur
geon's certificate of disability.
The commissioner is working from the
bottom of the list upward. Very soon.
it is believed, the captains and inspec-
tors are to be weeded out.
