CRIEvED OVER MONEY
LOST CAUSED DEATH,
Mrs. Austin, Formerly of This
City, Passed Away of Heart
Disease.

Mrs. Edward R. Austin, formerly
of this city, died very unexpectedly
at her home in Newark Saturday night
of heart disease brought on by an
attack of pneumonia. Mrs. Austin
had invested $1,000, nearly all the
money she had, in gold mining pro-
position. This money, she had learn
ed, would doubtless be a total loss.
She worried about the matter a great
deal and, when she was taken sick,
she lost all desire to live.
A year ago last Thanksgiving Mrs.
Austin's husband died very suddenly
in Mexico to which place they had
gone from this city. Mrs. Austin
came back here with her little daugh.
ter after her husbands death and
made many friends in this city. Mrs.
Austin was practically salone in the
world and much sympathy is felt fol
her little daughter.

Delegates representing 156 councils
of the Daughters of Liberty located in

City next Tuesday and Wednesday to
attend the eighth regular session of
the State council of New Jersey. 1t
is estimated that nearly 300 voting
members and visitors will be present.

Those who intend going from there
must be in the station at least one

Routine business and the election
of new officers will be the principal
items of business to come before the
convention. 1t is expected that a
number of amendments will be intro
duced. AS rule the State council
enacts very little new legislation at
it's annual sessions for the reason that

tend to weaken the whole fabric. If,

Westminster Saturday
Afternoon.
AUDIENCE PLEASED.
Program IN Two Parts-PIano Duets We're
Played And Several Solos Rendered
Many Take Advantage of Opportunity
To See The Old Building And Enjoy The
View From Tower.

The musical given by the Carol Club
at the Westminster Saturday afternoon
was largely attended and the audience
was delighted with the program. The
south parlor was crowded to such an
extent that more chairs had to be
brought in and many persons had to
be content with seats in the hall.
The program was rendered in two
parts. Both began with piano duets
rendered by Mrs. J. L. Olevenger and
Miss Grace Hawk. The first was
Grand Galop" by Ketterer, and the
second was Marehe Triomphale" by
Giora. Both were we'll received.
When the Carol Club appeared the
members were greeted with applause.
They sang Sunrise" by Charles
Fonteyn Manney; Canadian Boat
Song" by Ashworth; ga Song of
Seasons, by G. B. Hawley; "Violets, "
by Ellen Wright; In Old Madrid, "
by Trotere- Garcia and my Lady
Chlo," by H. Clough Leighter. The
latter was of lighter vein and seemed
to please the audience greatly.
Miss Katherine Noe sang two solos.
The first was "a Pastorale" by Yer
acini, and the other, "Mignon, by
d Hafdelot. Miss Noes voice was
greatly admired and the audience was
delighted.
Other solos were sung by Mrs. Rob
ert Macan, who sang "a May Morn.
ing" by L. Denza, and Cradle Song
by Kate Vannah, and Mrs. Edward
Tunis who rendered "Have A Care
by Meyer -Helmund in a very pleasing
manner. Mrs. Macan was heartily
applauded and her popularity with
the audience was clearly demon
strated.
The reputation of the Carol Club is
already thoroughly established and
the large number of persons present
Saturday afternoon showed it is 9
favorite among the music lovers oi
this city.
Mrs. Thomas, the matron of the
Westminster. at whose request the
musical was given, was so much
pleased with the financial result Of
the affair that she had it announced
that $28 had been realized. No ad
mission was charged, silver offering

Listened To Eloquent Sermon BY

Last Night.
GIVE me THINE HAND. !"
Text Was Very Appropriate And Discourse
Was Listened To With Great Interest
Drew Lesson From The Motto Of The
Knights of Pythias Friendship, ChaFi-
ty And BenevOIence.'

The Knights of Pythias attended
the Presbyterian church last night
where they listened to an eloquent
sermon by the pastor, Rev. DR.. II. g.
Mendenhall. DR.. Mendenha1 took as
his text "Give Me Thine Hand. =
From this he drew several valuable
and instructive lessons, dwelling upon
the motto of the Pythians, Friend
ship, Charity and Benevolence. .
The church was filed, the lodge
members occupying the front seats
and the congregation and friends Of
the Knights orowding the remainder
of the assembly room.
DIR. MendenhalI said that the hand
was the greatest characteristic of q
person. He described the different
kinds of hanoshakes and said that a
persons character could be read easily
that way. Then, taking the motto Of
the Pythians, the minister told lof the
hand of friendship. How welcome il
was to stranger, and, he doclared.
lodges could do and did do q great
work in this way. Many a ydung
man, the speaker declared, had None

of friendship.

charity as extended by the church and
the lodge is necessary to make lives
bright and to assist those overburden-

Lastly, DIR. Mendenhall told OF the
hand of benevolence. He stated that
friendship, sympathy and love were
all right, but when friend is really
in need, these do not go far enough.
They are doubtless appreciated, but
benevolence really touches the spot.
1t is this work for which the lodges
are noted and it is a grand work.
The sermon was listened to atten-
lively throughout and it seemed to
make deep impression. During the
evening the music rendered was much
enjoyed. Several anthems by the
choir and solo by Miss Owens we're

TO ELEVATE TRACKS
THROUGH THIS CITY.
PENNSYLVANIA viii Spend Many Millions Long Branch Division
And viii Separate Tracks Which Will Shortly Be Elevated
Throuqh All Towns of Importance.

Within a very short time Perth Am
boy will not only have handsome
new station, but will also have separ-
ate tracks for the Pennsylvania and
Central railroads which will soon be
elevated. The following in the New
York Herald this morning tells the
story:
Thousands of dollars of the many
millions which are being spent and
are to be expended by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad throughout its i'm
mense system, will be put into the
making of important changes on the
Long Branch division.
The most important work, in addi-
tion to the new block signal system,
is what is known in railroad parlance
as the separation of the north and
south bound tracks. This means a
fence between the tracks at and near
train stopping points, and passengers
stations on the east and west sides OF
the road at the most important cities
and towns through which it runs.
When this move was first contem-
pleted it included plans for new and
elaborate stations at Perth Amboy,
Matawan, Red Bank, Long Branch,
North Asbury Park and Asbury Park.
To afford facilities for passengers to
get from one side of the road to the
other tunnels similar to those at the
Newark and Elizabeth stations were
to be built. These plans have been
changed because. an official OF the
road saws, of realization that within
a comparatively short time all the
tracks will be elevated. He was ask
ed whether he meant track elevation
only through the cities north of the
Raritan River, or through Red Bank,
Long Branch, Asbury Park and the
entire seashore system.
"Oh yes" he declared without
hesitation. "'It won't come in a
month, ard maybe not in year or
two, but as regards the Long Branch
division I'm certain that track eleva-
tion is a proposition of the ne
future. -
The matter of separating the tracks
will be prosecuted without delay.
This change will be of incalculable
benefit to the Central and Pennsylva-
MIA roads, and to their patrons as we'll,
at Perth Amboy, Red Bank, Long
Branch, North Asbury Park, Asbury
Park and Ocean Grove, where the
passenger business during the summer
season, and particularly in July and
August, is heavier than at any other
point in the country, except at big
railroad terminals in large cities.
1t is expected to have the track sep
aration arrangements completed before
the summer season travel is in full
swing. In place of the projected tun-
nels there will be CT discovers above the
tracks for the passengers, with wait
ing rooms and platforms on both sides
of the road. Negotiations have been
under way for some time at Perth
Amboy, Matawan, Red Bank, Long
Branch, North Asbury Park and As
bury Park for the purchase of land on
the west side of the tracks for the
erection of stations for the south
bound passenger travel.
