0 Convert Woman Nearly
Hundred Years Old.
TPhiladelphia Ledger.1


Trembling from extreme cold and
feebleness, Mrs. Jane Shorts, who IS al
most 100 years old and lives on Alder
street, near Columbia avenue. was inn
mersed in the cold water of the Della
ware river yesterday afternoon thru
a hole cut in the ice. and in the face OF
a gale, at the foot of Twenty-eighth
street East Side, Camden, by Bishop
w. S. Croudy. of the Church of God and
Saints of Christ. A large crowd Wit
messed the baptism. expressing their
Indignation at the seeming cruelty OF
the affair in groans and utterances.
But the baptism was finished without
hitch. There were three women Dap
tized, but the sympathy of the 800 per-
sons was plainly with the aged woman.
Preparations for the ceremony were
made about an hour before the persons
to be immersed put in their appearance.
Bishop Croudy and others chopped
hole in the eight-inch ice that measur-
ed about ten by twelve feet. 1t took
half hour to complete the work. When
the tide had risen the three candidates
had arrived They stood on the bank.
Mrs. Shorts was protected from the
biting wind by a heavy shawl.
Then the ceremony began. The bis
hop, who wore thin stockings, read the
service, assisted by Rev. Abel Dixon.
The latter was barefooted, but trod on
the ice Just as tho it We're carpet.
Bishop Croudy called for the first
candidate. Then Mrs. Shorts threw
the shawl from her shoulders. She tot
tered a few feet when two men, one on
either side. took her by the arms and
assisted her towards the hole in the ice,
where already the water was beginning
to freeze over with thin crust OF ice.
She slipped on the ice. Then the men
seized her bodily and carried her to the
hole where Bishop Croudy and Rev.
Dixon stood waist deep in the water,
shivering and trembling.
The Indignation of the crowd then
burst They had thought that perhaps
the aged woman would not be immers-
ed because of the cold, but be sprlnkled.
It's a shame" cried one woman.
The poor woman will never live 1hru
it,"
Others cried to her to stop, but on
went the two men with the woman.

Insurance Policy to Be Paid If Found
Legitimate.

Gearing, Iowa, Feb. IL, 1903.-In re-
gard to an item sent from here to the
Marshalltown Times-Republican and
the Nevada Journal, stating the failure
of the head camp Of the NJ. w. of A. to
pay the $4,000 policy on the life of E. c..
lngledue, who died at Manitou, Col,
last October, I can say that the head
camp has not as yet failed to pay said
claim and that it HIS not made a re-
port on this claim, and furthermore,
will not make any until after Feb. II.
when the whole matter will have been
thoroughly investigated. The items
state also that the action of the head
camp has caused great excitement here.
If so, this excitement must exist with
persons not connected with the order or
with the claimant. These people would,
undoubtedly, do much better to seek
nearer and better information before
they talk and write about things they
do not know. 1t is nat the time now to
Judge or find fault. When this claim
has been thoroughly investigated, and
there should still exist some doubt, it
will be to the benefit Of the claimant.
But If there should be evidence to JUS
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1903-02-11

tify the board in rejecting this claim
because the deceased was addicted to
the excessive use of intoxicants, theFe
will be no doubt any longer. Section IL,
chapter 3, of the bylaws OF
our order says: II any mem
Der Of this society hereto
fore or hereafter adopted shall beccine
Incorporate in the use of alcoholic
drinks or in the use of drugs or mar
cotics, the benefit certificate held by
said neighbor shall By such acts become
absolutely null and void as to benefits,
and all payments made thereon shall
thereby be forfeited" And can say:
When the board does pass on this
claim, for or against. they will have
sufficient proof or testimony to prove
themselves clear OF this claim, II it
should be taken into court. AS neigh
Dor to said claimant, I wish and hope
that in all these Investigations nothing
will be found that could in any way be
detrimental to the cause of said claim
ant.
In regard to the ]. II. Guthrie policy
In the M. w. of A., that was null and
void by his being over 45 years at tho
time of adoption; it was not written
out by member OF the camp here, but
by the state deputy who chartered the
lodge. The claimant, however, got sew
eral times the amount he had paid in.
In the lodge the board at that time went
according to the bylaws, which wera
for some time q sc-e eye on the
M. w. A.
why do such uniformed people send
out communications of that kind and
have them published in out-of-town
newspapers? Why not give them to tho
home paper? Answer: Because our
editor is q Woodman.

off the ice.
AS she was thrust under the water
only a slight cry escaped her. Again
she went under, and still another time,
The ceremony was finished. The only
outward sign she gave while in the
water was a slight quivering of the chin
and the shaking of her arms and hands.
