SUNDAY TRAINS
FOR PITMAN.

Fltman Grove, N. j., August AIN
spite OF the determined opposition of
the oamp-meeting association, cot
taRers and property owners have pre-
vailed upon the West Jersey & Sea-
shore Railroad officials to stop trains
just north Of the Grove on Sundays
during camp-meetings.
A few months ago the railroad
granted Sunday trains after fight of
more than quarter of century be-
tween property owners outside the
Grove and the association, but it was
expected that during the two Sundays
OF camp no trains would be stopped
at Pitman.
To-day force of men with gravel
cars were given hurry mp order and
shortly before noon work was begun
on new station platform just above
Holly avenue on Arbutus Hill. This
landing place for Sunday passengers is
less than 400 yards north of Pitman
Station.
This action of the railroad officials
is greeted with joy by Pitmanites, but
has angered bus and hack drivers,
who for 80 years have charged exorbi
tant Sunday prices for conveying pas
sengers from Glassboro and Lambs
station.
Owing to rain attendance to-day at
the. annual meeting of the Foreign
missionary Societies of the Camden
and Bridgeton districts of the New
Jersey Conference was less than one
fifth of that of last year. though to-
night the crowd was increased to
nearly 1900.
Rev. A. E. Ballard, D. D., made
the address Of welcome this morning
and Mrs DR.. Middleton. of Camden,
presided Miss Wilhelmina Stokes. of
Wenonah, presided this afternoon,
when letters from missionaries in
Africa. India and Korea were read.
The Korean letters were most inter.
esting as they related much to the
Russo-Japanese war. To-night's ses-
sion was addressed by Miss Jennie
Hughes, missionary from Africa.
The Women's Home Missio onary So
ciety will hold forth to. morrow.

MANY CHANGES
ALL THE TINE.
tMillyille Correspondence,

Millville. N. j., Aug. 2, 1904.
Dear Pioneer :''-How rapidly the
face of town changes. To one who
is away from his old stamping ground
for few years the change is more
marked than it is to one who has re-
mained steadily q resident during all
that time. The Millville and Bridge
ton of to- day are far different from
what they were in go. Old buildings
have been removed ami neat and tasty
homes have replaced them. When
the writer came to Millville in '6S, he
moved from IA three-story brick one.
with water and gas throughout, to a
two-storyihouse:with draw well. 1t
was great change. but it was the
best that could be done. The i'm
provement in these cities has been
very great. Think Of the old corner
where the Davis hotel stood, and note
the Cumberland National Bank build
ing. Then the block extending to the
Hotel Cumberland. High street, Mill
vile, from Main to Pine, could not be
recognized il compared with a photo.
graph of the period above mentioned.
The changes wrought by time are GER
tainly wonderful.
Some arrests made last week were
rather important. The young man
Saul, who passed forged checks on
some of four merchants. was captured
in Vineland and confessed his sguilt.
The little ten-year. old girl Slater, who
has been sneaking into houses and
taking valuables. was also secured.
The storm shut out many ssMillville
people from spending the first Sunday
at Seaville Camp. A large number
had arranged to 20 down on their
wheels but Of course it was impossible
for them to do so
Union Lake seems now to be we'll
stocked with bass. Some very fine
ones are caught, and many large
pickerel.
Two new stores opened in this city.
Corson Bros clothing. and Mr.. Han
ford, Of Vineland. crockery.
Little Andrew Beebe, son of Mr..
Beebe, thesbarber, while playing in a
hack. fell out and had an arm broken.

There is to be circus in town next
month. and the small boys are on the
keen edge of anticipation.
Yours truly

Great Bean Growing.

Lying upon the desk Of the local
editor is the stem of a lima bean vine.
Upon the four inch stem are eight
fully developed lima bean pods, well
filled with fine sweet beans. The
bean is the Shotwell variety, and is
from the gardens Of B. +. Stetser, the
Trucker, on the Deerfield pike It is
quite certain that there are few beans
lin the county showing such wonderful
results.

team Of the best players in Bridgeton
and will have one Of the best profess
sional batteries from Philadelphia.
This should make great base ball

hitch, and the understanding was that
Edward Fry and William Fl. Dod, the
Hudson members of the committee,
acting as proxy for Colonel Dickinson,
Secretary of State. who is in Europe.
were opposed to the election of Mr..
Potts as secretary. 1t developed after
ward that their opposition to Mr..
Potts was merely incidental to their
desire to have Colonel Dickinson
named as the treasurer of the COM
mittee. United States Senator Kean
and Major Lentz. Of Essex. were also
favorable to Colonel Dick kinson's cleo.

WILLIAMS DROWNED
 NEAR CAMDEN.

Camden, Aug. Frank Will Hams, a fireman on the Cotton Belt local freight running on the south division out of Camden, was drowned here Sunday after noon.
 With three companions he was on the river in a skiff not more than eight or ten feet from the shore. By some means the boat was turned over and Williams fell out backward. He did not rise to the surface, though the water was not more than waist deep.
 The body was recovered in about two hours and after being prepared by the local undertaken was shipped to his old home at Princeton, Ind. The testimony at the coroner's inquest showed that Williams and his companions had been drinking auite freely.

FIRST CAR OF PEACHES.

The White River branch pas senger brought down from Bates vile and Moorefield Tuesday evening the first car load of FL berta peaches ever shipped out of that section. They were taken to St. Louis by No. 12 that night.
 The Batesville Bee says that this shipment marks an impor- tant event in the history of their fruit industry and we see no reason why the hill country to our north should not rival North west Arkansas in it's horticul- tural products.

FUNERAL SERVICES.

The funeral services of the late Mrs. Louise Remmel Empie were held Monday evening at7 o'clock at the home of the deceased on Laurel street, a large number of friends being present as a last tribute to her memory.
 The services were conducted by Rev. R. B. Willis and his ser mon was a beautiful expression of the sorrow that is felt by all and the sympathy that goes out to the family in their distress, of the goodness of deceased and the impress of her Christian character upon the town:
 The hymns sung were "Nearer My God to Thee," and Abide With Me-" Mrs. G. A. Hill- house rendered sweetly "One Sweetly Solemn Thought. :"
 The remains, accompanied by MT. w. B. Empie, Miss Lula Empie and H. l.. Remmel, left on No. 12 for Fort Wayne, Ind, where interment will take place immediately upon their arrival.

ioquence winged to its loftiest light by the occasion and the emergency. And to have seen Bryan at his best was to have seen the worlds best at his best.
 For no man living and few men dead have ever looked upon so peerless an orator, so incompara- ble a master of assemblies, as Bryan at St. Louis. The dele gates before him were iron, pledged, predetermined, inac- cessible and immovable.
 But if any one thousand men could have been selected from that vast assemblage or brought into that vast assemblage with open minds and uninstructed wills and given for an hour to this matchless leader of men, he could have swayed and led them as Demosthenes moved the Athenians to march against Philip, to conquer or die. :"
 When the student of oratory in art or the student of popular leadership in expression seeks in the future an illustration to make immortal on canvas or in de- scription he will find the ideal in the great Nebraskan, who was the unchallenged and unequalIed hero of the Democratic conven- ton of 1904.
