TROLLEY JOIN
COLLEGE TOWNS
Service Agents Said to be
Getting Consents for Right Of
Way Princeton to Brunswick.

PRINCETON, Dec. GA new troll
ley line is to be built between here
and Kingston, over the Franklin Park
road, extending through to New
Brunswick. Property owners are in
terested in the project to connect the
two college towns, the farmers seeing
where produce can be carried to mar
ket cheaper than by railroad. Be
sides, they argue it would boom prop
erty values along that stretch of high
way.
Several efforts were made a few
years ago to interest the Middlesex
and Somerset Traction Company, at
New Brunswick, in a movement to
extend it's line to Franklin Park and
eventually to this city, but the matter
was given little consideration by the
company's officials, who were busy ex-
tending the lines to other suburban
towns, South Amboy, Metuchen and
Bound Brook.
AS a result, thousands of acres of
land lying between the two college
towns have lain dormant while other
property, nearer trolley lines, has ad-
vanced materially.
This city lies in Mercer county.
while New Brunswick is in Middle
sex. The line will cross the Milestone
river and enter Kingston by way of
Rocky Hill. and thence to Franklin
Park and New Brunswick, a distance
of twenty miles. 1t is said that the
Pennsylvania railroad is the chief OBJ
jector to the trolley scheme, for the
reason that It's road touches Prince
ton Junction, while a branch spur
also reaches Rocky Hill and Kingston.
The farmers complain of this service.
Franklin Park, and many miles in
its vicinity, are entirely without rail-
road facilities, being practically shut
out by the lack of trolley connection.
1t is one of the Oldest villages in the
state, but its population has made but
little increase. It's inha bitants, as
well as those living in Rocky Hill
and Kingston, are now clamoring for
a trolley line, believing that opening
up this wide expanse of country
would increase values.
1t is understood that the Public
Service Corporation has been consid-
ering the proposition of securing a
right of way and franchise through
this section. Men have been at work
here during the past few days getting
consents,

new MINISTER VISITS EUREKA
Holds Morning and Evening
Services at the Episcopal
Church Last Sunday

Rev. Lloyd B. Thomas. the Episcopal
minister who has recently come out
from the East to engage in Christian
work in this section of Nevada. held
his first services at st. James Episco-
pal Church ia Eureka on Sunday.
September 20. There was a good at
tendance both morning and evening.
and two interesting and instructive
sermons were delivered by Mr.. Thomas.
At the morning service his subject
was, 1.-THE stand that God would have
us take in approaching Him." as is
written in Ezekial 81. "And he said
unto me, Son of man. stand upon thy
feet. and l will speak unto thee"
Mr.. Thomas said in outlining the at
titude God would have us assume in
approaching him is the manful. conf
dent one. upon our feet" Iu our
devotional or prayer life We must stand,
in order that we may e~ffectually offer
ourselves to the service of God. In
our active, or moral life, we must
stand that we may the better hear what
God speaks to us through our con-
science, the world about us, and our
social relations. Because we are Sons
of God, We can stand upon our feet be-
fore God.
In the evening his text was taken
from st. Matthew 1884. Take there
fore no thought for the morrow. for the
morrow shall take thought for the
things of ITSELF"
He explained this message in saying
u Lords warning is against anxiety,
depressing care. which takes away our
attention from the search after right
eousness, the kingdom of God.
Two causes there are for our worry.
First. the over-exaggeration OF material
and physical things. In reality, the
worll is valu ng to-day the spiritual
qualities of honesty. justice. considera-
ton for others more than it is material
possessions. Second, the lack of con
fdence in God as our Father, "who
knoweth we have need Of all these
things" We need to make u
prayer the prayer of Christ. mot as l
will, but as thou wilt"
II we will only Place all our trust in
our Heavenly Father, we will then see
the primary value of the things of the
spirit. and our anxiety and worry will
vanish.
