Railroad Rumors.

The Elmer Times has heard some
new railroad rumors as is evidenced
paragraph published in it's last
issue:-
"With the Identification of the
West Jersey & Seashore railroad from
Camden to Atlantic City, a change
will be made, it is said, in the sche-
dule now in force between Bridgeton
and Glassboro. 1T is intimated that
the train which now leaves Bridgeton
at noon will start from that point
about l. 30.
There is growing demand for a
later train between Philadelphia and
Bridgeton and it is said an effort will
be made to have one leave Bridgeton
about ten p. m. for Glassboro return.

be made to and from Philadelphia. 1t
is believe this would result not only
in increased travel to and from the
city, but that local travel to and from
Pitman would greatly increase during
the summer months.''

REV. L.. Il. COYLE
PASSES AWAY

Rev. Leonidas Edmond CoyIe, OF
Lake street, this city, passed away
Thursday morning at 9 o'clock at the
home of his sister in Washington, D. O.
For more than a year Mr.. CoyIe had
suffered from a mysterious affection
of the heart. which since early Winter
initiated seriously against his
strength. Less than two months ago
he was obliged to give up his work
here and go to Washington where with
Mrs. Coyle and his sister and daugh.
ter. Miss Laura, he has spent his last
days.
Mr.. Coyle was born 64 years ago in
Washington, u. O. He was graduated
from the University of New York in
1869, For brief period he was a
tutor in that institution. He entered
Princeton Seminary where he was
graduated in 1868. He was ordained
by the Presbytery of West Jersey in
1869. of which body he continued a
member until the time of his death.
He was installed pastor Of the West
Presbyterian Church of this city in
1870, which position he filled most
successfully for period of 13 years.
At his retirement from the pastorate
he gave his attention to music and is
widely known as an organist and a
teacher of more than ordinary ability.
For the past two years he has been the
efficient organist of the West Church.
He was also connected with the Musi-
cal Union of this city. He was serv-
ing his second term as member of
the Board of Education. where he was
held in high esteem.
Seldom has one in this community
been called to rest from his labors
whose going will be more missed.
Mr.. Coyle leaves a widow and two
sons and five daughters. They have
the sympathy of large circle of
friends

Unmoved by ouo.warranto


The quo warranto proceedings
brought through the office of the At
torney General against DR.. Elsmore
Stites to compel him to show cause
why he should not be fined as acting
as Health and Plumbing Inspector in
Bridgeton is giving that gentleman no
concern. whatever.
When seen Saturday DR.. Sites said
that it was true that quo warranto
proceedings had been brought against
him. The proceedings, he said, were
started upon complaint of DR.. NAV.

DR.. Sites further admits that he
has never taken an examination before

been elected bv the local Board of
Health. as demanded by the State law.
But DR.. Stites says he has behind him
the authority of the State Board of
Health. He Gays that when the posi- :
tions were rendered him by the local
Board he interviewed DR.. Mitchell,
Secretary of the State Board of
Health, and told him of the situation
in Bridgeton. MIR. Mitchell informed
him that all that would be necessary
for him to do was to file an appIica
tion for an examination, together with
the usual fee, and he could act until
such times as he had an opportunity
to take the examination.
DR.. Sites further says that after he
bad been elected Health Inspector and
Plumbing Inspector, he again inter-
viewed DR.. Mitchell. made formal ar
piicatiun for an examination and de.
posted the fee demanded by law. DR..
Mitchell thereupon issued to him a
permit which gives him authority
pending an examination, which will
occur in the regular order of events in
June. It may be sooner.

Serious Error.

Elias Meeker, Of Elizabeth, who has
just completed a magnificent and artis-

very serious error in the page devoted
to local work, and seems to be an in
excusable blunder. The page referred
to contains photo engraving of
Sheriff Souder. The caption is printed
Samuel Souder." In the index an
other blunder is made, the reference
being Daniel Souder." Other Cum-

These Places Working Jobs.

Trenton, April 14th.-In attaching
his SIGNATURE to the Avis bill creating
County Boards of Equalization of
Taxes, Gov. Stokes served notice upon
those who will be camping on histrail
for the 63 appointments that the jobs
are to be no sinecures. He gave out
the statement that the appointees in
the first-class counties will probably
have to put in at least six hours a
day for all the year and those in the
smaller counties as many hours for
nine months in order to get the work
Strengthened out. He said he would
have it understood by all those who
seek the places they must understand
that this work will be expected of
them. There will be much heart
breaking if this command is carried
out.
The Governor also signed to-day
the new Hillery Maximum Tax Bill,
which takes the place Of the measure
passed last year. The latter Is re.
pealed..

ELECTIONS BY
ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS

1t is quite probable that the next
election for members of the General
Assembly will be by Assembly Dis
tricts. The bill making that provi.
sion passed this week and Governor
Stokes will promptly approve it.
The constitutionality of the bill will
be promptly tested. and the Courts, at
the June term, will be called upon to
pass upon it. Those who have the
measure in charge are confident that
the Court of Errors and Appeals will
support the measure and hold it to
be constitutional. That being so, As.
semblymen in the future will be Sc
lected by Districts.
The provisions of the bill make two
Assembly Districts for Cumberland.
The Second District will comprise the
City of MillvilIe, the Borough of
Vineland, the townships of Maurice
River, Landis and Deerfeld The re.
mainder of the county will be in the
First District. This method of choos-
ing Assembiymen will be highly salts.

Fra Elbertus' Lates Joke.

Every reader has become more or
less interested in Ebert Hubbard's
peculiar style of writing, aad those
who have heard his lectures for which
he has gained national reputation,
say he is intensely interesting.
We have just received compliment
airy copy of his Essay on Silence"
beautifully bound in limp leather with
silk Innings and gold top. This is his
latest joke.
George w. James says of it: "This
essay is bound to stimulate thought
and meditation.
ut is book that the tired man or
woman can go away with alone and
communicate with the infinite. Open
1t anywhere and 1t is equally inter-
esting.
ut is told in language with which
lovers might communicate with each
other, and will never bring the blush
of shame to the brazen cheek of limo
cence.
We would say that to fully appre-
ciate It and to understand its contents
you must see It yourself.

Girls ShOuld Know

That the home kitchen, with mother
for teacher, and loving, willing
daughter for pupil, is the best cooking
school on earth.
That "the most excellent thing in
woma ia low voice-can be acquired
only by home practice.
That true beauty of face is possible
only where there is beauty of soul
manifested in beautiful character.
That the girl everybody likes is not
affected, and never whines, but is just
her sincere, earnest, helpful self.
And, finally, that one of the most
beautiful things on earth is pure,
modest, true, young girl-one who is
her fathers pride, her mothers cos.,-
fort, her brothers. inspiration and her
sisters ideal-which we should all try
to be.

BIRTHPLACE OF STUART.
Little Change in House Where Famous
Painter First Saw Light of Day.

Boston.-Gilbert Stuart, who holds
the first rank among American portrait
painters, was born in Narragansett,
now North Kingston, r. l., December
8, 1855. in a house still standing abont
two miles from the village of Wick
ford
He was descended in long line
from those who had been preachers in
the British Isles.
His father, Gilbert Stuart, Sr, was
educated for the Kirk of Scotland"
but differing from his elders in politi-
cal views he came to America and To-
Gated in Rhode Island. Having set
tied in Narragansett he built, at the
suggestion of Dr.. Thomas Moffat,
mill for the manufacture of snuff,
luxury for which there was great de-
mand. At that time snuff was largely
imported from Glasgow. The little
snuff mill adjoined Mr.. Stuart's house.
DR.. Moffat looked after the raising If
the tobacco and made fortune out of
the business, while Gilbert Stuart, the
snuff grinder, had no ability to keep
l4O LlodCy "u1Su lu5cuulLS cudUlcu
him to earn.
Young Stuart showed at an early
age marked ability for art and music.
He stood we'll in his classes and was
not only an accomplished player but
composer of music as we'll. He went
abroad and studied for two years at
the University of Glasgow, where he
perfected himself in classic litera-
ture. In London he studied under
Benjamin West; took lessons in anat-
omy with DR.. Cruikshank and attended
the lectures of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
He returned to America in 1893 for
the expressed purpose of painting the
portrait of George Washington, whose
character he greatly admired.
There has been erected a tablet
which is the first permanent memorial
to him, in St. Paul's church in Wick
ford.

on the walls of the school room. Short
memory gems may be used in the
same manner.
The plan we followed chiefly was
to write upon the board memory
gen, requesting all to commit as
quickly as possible and when COM
mitted to stand, facing away from the
board and repeat the selection. If
repeated correctly they were sent to
gone. and requested to write it, TAX
ing note OF capitalization, spelling and
punctuation. These were discussed
as to thought and also correctness and
the aim always was to get at the
authors meaning. Something was
learned of the biography Of the author
and the poem from which the selec-
ton was taken. The next morning
some one was called upon to write
memory gem No i, while we were
putting on No. 2 for commitment. This
plan was continued until we felt
reasonably sure that all had learned
every memory gem On Friday after

first in writing, then in reciting, some
times in concert and sometimes sing
ly.
Whenever occasion demanded it we
would recite in concert some appro-
pirate gem. Take, for example, some
case where a pupil struck an angry
blow or became too faultfinding, or
was in sorrow, we would say: what
old Pope say?" to which all would
enthusiastically reply:
"Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault l see;
That mercy to others show,
That mercy show to me-"
"What misfortune befell Pope?"
would be asked, to which all would
reply: "a COW tossed him up and
threw him violently on a pile OF
stones and he was crippled for life"
This was always said in a spirit of
kindness and had Il good effect in
the way of gentle criticism.
In this way these gems were put
into almost daily use and we recall
an instance where after several years
absence we were invited to attend a
high school graduation exercise and
every graduate who had been former
pupil OF ours had one or more of these
memory gems in his GRAFTON to en-
phasize more emphatically point he
desired to bring out.

believe would meet general approval.

her office at the Chemical bank until
late in the afternoon, and upon her ar
rival found herself SO busy that she
was continually wandering from the
desk of one bank official to another or
receiving officials or her confidential
secretaries in quick succession.
She wore her business black, and
her almost masculine disregard for
trif1es was evident in her ignoring the
fact that the dust of city streets lay
upon her plain, shawl-like> wrap. Her
hands were increasingly occupied with
loosening or fastening the cord that
drew the top OF black cloth bag, not
her famous reticule, but a bag made
large enough to carry cash book or
check book such as business firms use,
or even a ledger. She produced this
bag from the recesses of her wrap and
opened it to receive large check book
the Chemicals assistant cashier
brought her.
Hetty Robinson Green was born in
New Bedford in 1885, her father, Ed
ward Mott Robinson, being one of the
wealthiest ship-owners of that whaling
and China trading port. When he died
business instinct told his only and
capable daughter that American ship
ping was declining, and that the west
was growing. So she sold her ships
and invested in western lands. rail-
roads and mortgages. Her ambition
is said to be to leave her, son, the
Texan railway builder and director,
$500, 100000 at her death.
