F.icnls' Quarter.y Meeting

AT Friends Meeting House. 4th
and West streets, yesterday after
noon the Concord quarterly meeting
of HicksiteFriends was held. There
were about 200 members present
from the monthly meetings at Oar
by. Lansdowne, Chester, Swarth-
more, Goshen. Concord. Whining
ton and Birmingham.
The greater part of the session
was devoted to passing upon the
various queries.
Reports were received that all
meetings for divine worship had
been held. with some few eXcep-
tions, owing to bad weather. The
query as to love and unity was an
swered as generally clear and also
the one that Friends are mostly
careful to bear testimony as to a
free ministry. There are some
DEFICIENCIES acknowledged with ref
erence to plainness of speech and
behavior and the reading of the
Scriptures. Some few exceptions
We're noted regarding the manufac-
ture and sale ot intoN eating liquors
as a drink.
The circular committee was nam
ed and j. Hubbard Bartram. Ralph
NJ. Harvey, Rachel W. Hillborn and
Emma {. Bancroft were named as
the representative committee.

Gave a Supper.

KingswoOd NJ. +. Church was the
center OF attraction last evening.
The Ladies Mite Society gave a sup
per for the benefit of the trustees.
The weather was not at all favor
able for the people to leave their
homes, yet in spite Of the heavy
clouds, hundreds of people were
present the hearts of the noble wo-
men of Kingswood. The supper
was very successful and neat sum
of money was realized. While we
cannot give the exact figures yet we
believe by the large number who
sat at the tables and also the sum
made on the ice creams more than
a hundred dollars was realized.
The fife and drum corps from the
east side was present and rendered
splendid music. The pastor, Rev,
w. II. Hammond and wife were
present to greet the people with a
hand shake. The pastors wife was
presented pound cake weighing
eight pounds. This church is doing
fine. A gentleman presented the
pastor with five dollars to be APP
piled to purchasing hymnals for the
church This is step in the right
direction. Let the people visit

pathetic appeal had been made by
Pauline's aunt, which was repulsed
by the girl, who refused to kiss the
woman, she was discharged on the
promise that she would go back to
Philadelphip.
Mrs. Huwey turned to the girl
and said:

make lady OF you. Won't you
Gomez
I'D rather kill myself replied
the girl coldly.
Kiss me- pleaded the aunt.
mo, - replied the girl, I'D rather
kiss the floor. Don't touch me. l
don't feel like kissing
The magistrate ordered Mrs. II ow-
ey to take the girl direct to Philadel-
phia.
1t was before her arraignment
and while her aunt was pleading
with her, that Pauline tainted. She
was carried out and revived.

The feature of the evening session
! was the talk of Rev. r. o. Miller,
field secretary of the international
! Bureau of Reform, which was a
powerful plea for the Curfew or,li-
nance in Delaware.
! Mr.. Miller, at the beginning of
his address, gave the following rea-
sons for advocating the Curfew or
dinance:
First, a Curfew will benefit the
morals of the children. Roaming
around the etreets at night will in
.jure the morals Of any child. Chill
dren are better off at home than on
the street after p. m, for on the
street late at night they will form
bad acquaintances and evil habits.
Second, Curfew will concerve
the health of the children. Late
hours on the street is always injur-
ious to the health of young chil-
dren who need 80 much sleep. And
oftimes they contract bad colds and
other diseases by exposure on inc
street late at night.
Third. Curfew will help the in-
! tellectual life Of the child, Chill
dren who run the street at night
cannot keep up with their school
work and necessarily fall behind.
Fourth, IL Curfew will reduce
crime among the children. This ii
the testimony that comes from
many cities which have trel tn,
Curfew.'
Another address which held the
vast congregation speIlbound was
the add ress of the Rev. +. w. Tomp-
kins, d. D.. rector Of the Church of
the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, Pa,
and prsident Of philadel pllia
County Sunday School Association.
Or. Tonpkins interspersed his talk,
the subject of which was "Tha
Church and the Ilome,' with witty
savings, which convulsel his list tcn'
ers with laughter at intervals.

FROM the present outlook Of the
political horizon, the Republican
party will not have any more mem
berS III the next Congress than they
will want for party purposes and to
help the President i'll carrying out
his policy. The next election will
come in an Oft year and the Demo-
Gratis seem to b" very SHnguln" OF
winning III numerous States. The
Senate at the present time Is close
enough, but happily has a good Re
publican majority, with the two
empty seats that Delaware Is emit
tied to fill. If these two seats are
filled by Democrats at the next Leg
islature, it might mean more to the
Republican party at large than now
appears on the surface.
THE Levy Court yesterday decided
that they would not attend the
qua rterly meeting of the board held
today. This is in the face Of a let

wrote the court saying that they
ran no risk in attending. But tney
con cluded that they would rather
go some other time. There is NO
more danger now that the pest

INSTEAD of chewing gum over
what has been done and what has
not been done by the Republican
members of the Legislature when
they hal chance to elect two
United States Senators, it behOoves
the Republicans Of the State to get
together That is if they expect to
elect IA sufficient number to the
next Legislature to do anything.
BY shooting off in the papers what
this or that man or several men did.
will not now avail anything or will
not accomplish any good. We have
heard that same old rumor renewed
again that an extra session of the
Legislature would be called and one
Senator elected. We do not believe
one word of such runners as they
are silly and the persons circulating
them do not believe them but talk
TOR talks sake.
The Republican party has been
tried twice and fail I'd both times
to elect two United States Senators
when it was possible to do the
trick. But instead wasted hours
during the SESSIONS i'll nonsensl"al
voting for two Senators. The day
has gone by when men who are SUP
posed to represent the people forget
who they do represent as soon us
they have taken their seats in the
Legislature. If the people elected
direct as they should. there would
never be any vacancies in tba Uni
ted States Senate The vital IneS-
ton whi'h now contrOuts the Re
publican party III this State Is. what
do the people want that make the

they want success or defeat:
