lie STAYED OUT IN THE COLD
And Yet Within II Few Feet was "a
Harbor of Refuge. n
Heaven of Rest!''

With the thermometer down to
zero and the wind blowing a stiff gale,
Fred Baldwin, of Parsippany, spent a
night last week with his team of
horses under an old deserted shed
which neStleS in the woods on the
Mt. Kemble avenue road. Baldwin
had driven to the place for an ice
machine. 1t was dark when he ar
rived and in trying TO load the ma
chine GA his wagon a bolt became
loose and was lost. For hours in the
cold he searched for the missing link
but could not find it, He finally
went under cover with his faithful
team and waited until morning
dawned. Then without any trouble
he found the bolt. Fs5
But the amusing or rather ludierous
part of it all is that not twenty-five
feet away from the shed was the
building of A.. E. Pierson, wherein
burned bright fire; and yet 'our
hero' never once thought of going in,
as he paced up and down Throughout
the night shivering with the cold.

Mrs. Giles, President, to Leave Nor
ristown. Receives Kind Words.
The Owen ''Y" social held last
Friday evening at the home of Miss
Helen Young was pleasant affair.
The State w. G. T. U. President, Mrs.
Emma Bourne, of Newark, and the
Morris County President, Mrs. V. F.
Cox, were both present, and spoke on
total abstinence. The musical part
of the programme consisted of vocal
solos by Miss Elizabeth King and Mrs.
Thomas b. Reid; piano solos by Miss
Hilma Martin and Miss Helen Young,
and violin solo by Miss Lila Quimby.
Refreshments and social hour COM
pleted the evening.
AS Mrs. Giles, president of the Owen

to leave Morristown, Mrs. Bourne and
Mrs. Cox took advantage of the oc-
casion to express appreciation of her
faithfulness as leader of the union.
In the near future meeting will be
called to elect a successor to Mrs. Giles,
and it is hoped that the attendance
will be large.

CUPDS ON THE SKIRMISH LINE
terlng Hearts, were Palpitating
in rhythmic Unison.

At the home of Mrs Lewis Sturgis,
ON Early street, the Current News
Club held valentine social last Mon
day evening. The club suspended its
most rigid rule and invited the hus-
bands of its members. This was par
italy responsible for the gaiety of the
occasion.
Mrs. Sturgis had her home beauti-
fully decorated. Everything was trim
med a la valentine, and souvenir heart
valentines were placed in the hands of
everyone present.
Delightful music was rendered by
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward M. Young, Miss
Esther Soaring and Miss Margaret
Young, who played on the mandolin,
accompanied by Miss Ella Benson.
A guessing contest, in shape of strik-
ing tableaux, created great laughter
and amusement. Refreshments were
served by Mrs. Sturgis. @

Washington Engine Company Hold
Their Fifth Annual Ball in Wash
ington Hall. Successful Affair.
Washington Engine Company held
it's fifth annual ball in Washington
Hall last Monday night. A large
crowd was present and the evenings
dances were thoroughly enjoyed. Z
The hall was trimmed with greens
and the floor, it was said, was never SO
successfully prepared for dancing.
Throughout the evening Sharrette's
orchestra discoursed music with such
precision that it was almost possible to
glide over the ball room floor without
consciousness of moving.
The grand march began at half past
nine O'Clock and was led by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Ambrose. The march
was well executed and ended in be-
wildering maze of spiral INTERVIEWING.
The ladies were gowned in bright
colors and gentlemen in the conven-
tional evening dress, except those of
the fire company who were uniformed,
The blue coats, brass buttons and gold
lace intermingling with the vari-
c@lored costumes made a spectacular
scene.
Supper was served by Day from IL
until O'Clock. The members of the
committee were: Chairman, Joseph J..
Ambrose; Reception Committee, j. III !.

Informalisx in Commitment.

Through ignorance of the law many
amusing things are noticed in legal
papers made out by Justices of the
peace. Last week Minnie Bowden,
who was arrested on complaint of her
mother, Mrs Catherine Bowden, as
told in the Chronicle, was committed
to Jail by Justice of the peace in this
city. The mother charged that her
daughter was incorrigible. In making
out the commitment, the Justice of
the peace wrote the following: "That
Minnie Bowden has left her parents
home and refuses to return when re-
quested to do so and is associating
with Others who may lead her astray.
Now her mother, Catherine Bowden.
requests the Orphans Court to deal
with the said Minnie Bowden as law
and justice may require.
The girl was released from Jail on a
technicality in the papers.

In true Elk style the B. p. o. f.,
SIS, OF this city, gave the first Ladies'
Night entertainment in Washington
Hall last Tuesday night. 1t was a
big success and those present enjoyed
themselves until the early hours of
Wednesday morning. The Elk clock
is always five minutes of twelye-in
railroad parlance, 11.55; but that may
be taken as midnight or noon, for the
lodge has seasons of its own. and it's
memories extend to the happy Deccan
days of old
The hall was neatly trimmed with
greens, and to the left was an inn
provised stage. This was erected by
George Allen, who is not only a genius
in the carpentry business but also in
stage effects. 1t served every known
theatrical purpose without even an
asbestos curtain.
The vaudeville entertainment
furnished was of the high-talent
order. Although mostly by members
of the Elks, nee "Jolly Corks," every
number was of the professional class.
The orchestral music, under direction
of J. f. Runyon, was greatly enjoyed,
and the overture, "Elk's Dream, y
brought forth much applause.
Just a moment or so with Frank
Pierson in "Magique" pleased every
one. Mr. Pierson still retains his
faculty of keeping people guessing.
The shadows by Frank and Gus
Pierson were amusing, as were also
the projected pictures of '"Views of
Travel by w. Edward Becker.
After travelling all over the world on
the display sheet the views were
brought down to date, and told the
story of some of Mr.. Becker's personal
observations in and out of the society
of Elks. Pictures of several of the
lodge officers were also shown.
One of the best features of the
evenings entertainment was Gus
Pierson in Japanese Pastimes. y
His balancing and Juggling were of
the adroit type and appeared mar
velous.
The Hotchkins sisters in musical
specialties played on bells, violins and
flute. In the Illustrated songs, Mrs.
W. Edward Becker rendered "The
Holy City" in most pleasing style.
After bumpers were filled at a
delicious supper served by Day, and
"mirth and witt scattered around,
dancing was the order of the evening.
The numbers were as follows: Grand
march, to the Exalted Ruler, led by
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Edward Becker
"Lancers," to Esteemed Lecturing
Knight; two-step, Esteemed Loyal
Knight; Lancers, Our Inner Guard;
waltz, Leap year." to the Ladies;
two-step, Our Secretary; Galop,
Esquire; Lancers, Entertainment
Committee; waltz, Our Members;
two-step, good night" to the Trea-
surer.
The committee having charge of
the affair were George t. Allen, chair
man; Frank E. Pierson and ]. y. A..
Owens.

of its valuable information on innum-
cradle subjects. 1t will be particularly
useful this year on account of it's po-
litical statistics in connection with
the Presidential election. 1t costs

by some outSpoken truths concerning
the great need for workers among the
masses in the downtown districts of
the city. Speaking before charita-
BILE organization recently he arraigned
fashionable society for it's self-indul-
gence and its indifference, and the
wealthy churches for moving uptown
and leaving the work of caring for
the great masses of people in down.

hotels to missions. 1.-THE situation in

more pitiful and more insistent than
anything else in the town. Here you
find everything in its intensest form.

we can hold the entire country.
Gods victory is to be won at one or
two strategic points, and here is the
greatest. y Very soon he is to tell
about his own efforts during the past

The Elite Of this Noted Asso-
ciation don Sombre Faces
and Expansive Bosoms,
AND MAKE PLEASING HARMONY
There were . Tambos'' and g Bones''
to Add to the Pleasure of the Evening
with witticisms Applicable to Local
Surroundings. Mr.Claghorn's Trials
and Troubles and Tribulations Of
Spirit over His Name.

Those who attended the exploitation
by the adherents of the Y. M. G. A.
in Lyceum Hall last Tuesday evening
were delighted with the display Of
amateur negro minstrelsy." In some
respects it was crude; but crudities
may be overlooked with ease in an
altogether home entertainment"
The first part-or " olio ~ as the late
g Billy" Birch would have termed it,
while programmed as 'coon songs,
for the most past was void of the
" nigger'' vulgarities altogether too
much in vogue in these latteI-day
vaudeville shows.
Mr.. Claghorn, the general secretary
of the local association and interlocu-
tor, had much to try his spirit in con-
tending with the obtuse intellects who
held down the end chairs relative to
his cognomen. Every common noun
such as g Stag" "Cow," g RAM
&c Tim etc, was used instead of the
first syllable of his name. And he
stood it good naturedly until Bill
called him g Trombone" and then he
sharply called the rattle-headed 'tTam-
boz to account by informing that
black-face gentleman that he (Mr.
Claghorn) was no wind instrument.
The entertainment was certain
ly good. All did their parts exceed
ingly well, and to MIR. William ].
johnson may be accorded the tribute
of furnishing the gem of the evening
in his solo, "The Song the Anvil
Sings" rendered in an exceedingly
pleasing flexible bass. He deserved
to have his recitative "Cling, Clang,7
accompanied by an orchestral steel
anvil to emphasize the passage, as is
done in "The jolly Coppersmith
with it's thinking brass" accoinpani-
ment.
Miss Chapman's piano accompani-
ments were especially pleasing. For a
moment she never thought she was
4'It,'' for she modulated her instru-
mental expressions to suit the vary
ing voices with which she had to
contend. There was no display Of
clapichordal pyrotechnics, but every
thing was human and sweet.
The athletic exercises showed what
muscle controlled by brains could do,
and received the applause of the
audience with each recurring bout.
1t is safe to say that the Y. M. O..
A. lost neither money nor prestige by
it's effort.
