Foreign Missionary Society,
Central Methodist church) gave
a social" at the Lee Grant hotel
on Friday 23rd u1t. A large
representation of the lady mem
bers of the church were present,
and a mum Der of others. The
occasion was both delightful and
profitable.
The following took part in the
exercises: Mesdames L. F.
Thompson, R. J. Prentiss, A. J.
Dixon, Conner Woodland, District
Secretary Prof. and Mrs. Klein
and the pastor. Mrs. L. F.
Thompson sang two solos which
we're much enjoyed. The in
strumental music rendered by
Prof. and Mrs. Klein and Mrs.
Farmer was most excellent and
captivating.
The report of the Auxiliary
read by Mrs. Dixon was most
encouraging and betokened
growth and expansion. The
reading by Mrs. Prentiss indi-
Gated that this lady was no stran-
ger to the art. Ali present en-
1oyed the earnest, soul stirring
address by the new district sec
rotary, Mrs. Conner Woodland.
This estimab1e christian lady
made good impression upon all
our hearts, and we are sure that
the spirit and talents of our sis
ter are guarantee of success
full secretaryship.
Refreshments were served by
the good "Marthas" of the socie-
ty at the close. May there be
more of this kind of socials in
our city. R. K.
The following is the report of
which mention has been made:
HISTORY OF THE woMAN's FOREIGN
MISSIONARY SOCIETY OF THE
CENTRAL NJ. E. CHURCH, so.
In the winter of 1899, when
Rev. W. M. Bitch was pastor of
the little Methodist congregation
then worshiping in the small
wooden church on Oconee street,
the question of a missionary So
ciety was agitated, principally
through the efforts of Mrs. Belle
Linn. who had only recently
come from Townsville, Ga,
where there was most flourish
ing society. The announcement
was made one Sabbath morning
from the pulpit, and at the ap-
pointed hour on Feb. %, 1899,
though only five ladies presented
themselves for membership,
nothing daunted, the society was
organized with the following Off
GERS: Mrs. Bitch, Pres; Mrs.
c. c. Bosworth, Sec.; Mrs. Belle
Linn, Treas. Every member
was an officer with the exception
of Mrs. J. H, Harley and Mrs.
Darling.
Very small indeed, would our
present treasurer think the quar-
ters dues, if no larger than the
then treasurer's first remittance,
May 81, 1899 of $1.OO to Mrs.
Burghard. Mrs. J. H. Harris
and Mrs. Van Gorder, (Mrs.
Emery joined in April, but upon
Mrs. Harris moving to Triton in
May, there was only a net gain
of one member after four months
existence.
Mrs. Ida DeLoach joined at
this time, however, and made a
most efficient secretary for sew
eral months. The summer
months did but little towards the
increase of membership, but at
the close of the first year we find
eighteen enrolled. The Goth
Century Fund at this time was
agitated and the little society
raised $3.50 for This nurnose

Municipal Matters.

The Rock Island Brewing Co. had a
field day at Monday evenings meeting
of hte City Council. Important mat
tiers like the passage of the ordinance
granting the Tri-City Railway Co. TO
double track the Milan line, and the or
dinance for the paving of Fourteenth
avenue, were passed practically without
debate, because both questions had been
thoroughly canvasSed in advance and
were well understood The opening gun
in the brewery seance was fired by Al
derman Kennedy, who charged that the
tile sewers in the Sixth ward were being
ruined, by the boiling water from the
brewery, which, he averred was being
run into the Seventh avenue drain, de
spite the fact that some years ago the
Elm street end of the sewer had been
walled up to prevent this very thing,
The effect of the hot water and steam
has been to disintegrate the tile be
tween Thirtieth and Twenty ninth streets
His resolution to ascertain the why's and
wherefores was adopted.
Immediately afterward Alderman
Eckhart offered n resolution for the ter
mination of the contract by which the
Brewing Co., in consideration of main
tanning reserve pump a t tn Elm street
plant, receives all its water for Il flat
rate of 5000 per year, and notifying the
company that upon the termination of
the construct it shall paw meter rates
for its water. This precipitated a live
~ debate. Alderman Anderson opposed
the resolution. because the bluff section
must deperd on the brewery pump for
fire protection and water for domestic
purposes in case of accident to the cleo
trio pump at the reservoir. He was OPP
posed to the termination of the existing
arrangement before the interests of the
people are otherwise safeguarded and he
was supported in this line of argument
by Alderman Robbins.
Alderman Eckhart, who for three
years has sought to bring about the ter
minatiOn Of the arrangement. declared
that the needed reserve pump would
not be provided until the arrangement
Is terminated. He believed that if the
company paid for its water, as other cit
liens ere compelled to pay, the city
would receive enough in one year to paw
for an auxiliary pump. He made several
sensational charge against the company
in the course of his speeches, and Alder
man Kennedy added to the interest OF
the occasion by producing figures which
demonstrated that for every day that
the brewery pump has been called into
service, the company, accepting n con-
sentative estimate of the water it re-
ceivcs gratis, has been paid $1,000 Al
derman Eckhart's resolution was adopt
ed, and then Alderman Anderson of
fered resolution instructing the com
mittee to prepare plans for an auxiliary
pump at the reservoir, which was also
adopted.
