The day of destiny was'darkened
The heart of the Nation cd still,
When Fort Henry and DOnelson sur
rendered,
And Johnston fell back to Nashville.
But the clouds, when. thickened around
us,
Served only the palmer to show
The form of that hero arising
To deliver us all from the foe.

Here's to the Forrest of brave Ten
nessee,
In our hearts he will triumph forever,
Here's TO Forest from the brave Ten
nessee,
AT Shiloh he charged a!division
And covered our army's retreat;
At Murfreesboro won his promotion
When Crittenden acknowledged defeat.
Next streight went careering before
him,
Expecting our rear to assail,
Dut Forrest, with his fair maiden pilot,
Soon landed the robber in Jail.
CHORUS

All, the deeds of our hero bespeak.
Now Athens, sulpher Springs and
Pulaski
Have aroused old Sherman from his lair,
For the boldest of Yankee commanders
Will tremble with Forrest in his rear.
Next Jacksonville attracted his atten-

When Sherman had collected his stores,
And the gunboats, once terrible to
mention,
Floated grandly and proudly at its
doors.
But Forests artillery battalion,
Morton, Rice, Ed Watson and Thrall
Soon set fire to his gunboat and trans
ports,
Nor ceased till they had burdened
them all.

Friday evening at the Burlington High
school, A. Fl. Moon. of Philadelphia, gave
demonstration on the new physical lab
oratory, recently installed at cost of $500.
The members of the Board of Education
and their wives, the teachers and physics
class were those present.
Friday was the thirty-frst anniversary
of Bishop John Scarborough's rule as
bishop of the diocese of New Jersey of the
P. E. church. He passed the day in Bur-
lington and that evening an entertain

St. Mary's hall, Burlington, in honor of
the event.
After having seen photograph of the
negro, the police of this city are positive
that Daniel Williams, whom the Atlantic
City police thought to connect with the
Henke murder here in 1896, Is not the man
wanted for the crime. The suggestion of
the police of the seashore resort that VIII
liams might be the negro for whom the
Burlington county authorities have been
searching for nearly ten years. was in.
vestigated by the local police last week,
but the suspicious were found to be
groundless because of the extreme youth
fulness of the negro at the time the crime
was committed. Williams formerly lived
in this city, and seven years ago was ar
rested for stealing sum of money from I
local boarding house. The police records
show that he was then under 10 years O
age, and, as the Henke murder occurred
three years previous. the age of the negr'
would make any attempt to connect hin
with the crime entirely out Of reason.

appearance last week for 1905. This is a
word of incalculable value to every one
who seeks definite and accurate informa-
ton concerning any phase of the govern
ment of New Jersey.
Such pains does the compiler take to
procure only the most reliable information
for its pages that no one questions the ac-
curacy of the work, and its contents are
accepted an authority upon all questions
to which they relate. In fact, the declar.
alton, 1.-THE manual says So" is sufficient
to settle all disputes upon any question
relating to the Legislature or government
of this state. The work this year has
been prepared with the same care that has
characterized it in the past. and its fund
of information is as full and complete as
ever
Among its contents are brief history
of New Jersey, lists of all the principal
state officers and members of the legisla
ture since Colonial days, together with
the years of their service, official election
returns, the Governors message. the ap-
preparation law and biographical sketches
of the present members of the Legislature
and State officials, besides information oil

Suicide at Pembertou.

The wife of Ellis Bird committed sui
eide on Friday morning. She lived with
her husband in tenant house on the
Keller property at Keeler's Corner, north
of Pemberton. Her husband il employed
on the Stambach farm nearby.
After Mr.. Bird had gone to work, about
seven o'clock, Mrs. Bird got a shotgun
and put cartridge in it. She then put
the gun on the floor and with a candy
cane which belonged to one of her children
she touched the trigger. The load from
the weapon blew the womens head COM
pletely to pieces.
The report brought several of the
neighbors to the scene and a horrible
sight met their The woman was
about 80 years Of age. She has two OF
three children and the fact that she was
liable to again become mother evidently
caused her to take her life as she had told
her husband she would rather die than to
have any more children. This, together
with the fact that her nerves have been
unstrung lately, was the evident provoca
ton to cause her to do the rash deed.

An incident that will appeal to any one
with heart occurred In New York CITY
to Mr. Henry Horton, the actor, Just be-
fore the opening of his present season,
and it was only accident the other day it
came to light Mr.. Horton, who is the
star of "Eben Holden" the attraction ap-
pearing at the Auditorium Theatre, Bur
lington, February 9. Is great walker
Every afternoon he takes q constitutional.
never covering less than four or ave miles.
1t happened on the day in question Mr.
Horton was walking down Broadway to
Battery Park, and arriving there decided
to return up town on the cable car.
1t was late in the afternoon, just at that
hour when the stores and factories are
emptying themselves of their clerks, oper-
ators, etc. The car on which Mr. Horton
was riding up town was packed to its ut
most capacity. The conductor was pass /.
ing through collecting fares, finally com
ing to little girl scarcely more than 70
years of age. AS the conductor stopped
beside her she felt in the pocket of her
ragged jacket, started, fumbled evidently
in her other pocket, then looked up con-
fusedly and appealingly to the conductor
1t soon came to light that she had lost her
little purse with her scanty supply of coin.
No one there offered to pay for her, when
the conductor suggested that she alight,
or let her fare be forthcoming He hated
to do it. but it was his duty as conductor.
Just then a gentleman standing near the
rear door became aware Of the facts of the
case, and pushing his way hurriedly to
where the little girl had arisen preparatory
to leaving the car. he paid her fare, then
courteously returned her to the seat.
The production of 1.-The Holy City," to
be given at the Auditorium, Burlington,
on Saturday. February 10, will be an agree
bic surprise even to those who expect the
most from the play, and the presentation
will be one that will live for years and re-
ceive constantly increasing praise and pat
ronage at the hands of the public. It is
certainly daring attempt to give play
founded on some of the most stirring and
tender incidents in the Holy Word, and
only by the most careful avoidance of any
thing like sacrilege could the play be made
success. But this has been accom-
plished by the author. and the dialogue
does not breathe a single word but what is
pure and elevating in its tendencies.
The play is founded on the incidents of the
Biblical story just previous to and imme-
diately after the crucifxion, and the scene
on Calvary is shown in a tableau after the
painting by Michael Angelo.
The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1906-02-06

The presence of Christ is frequently re-
ferred to, but obviously 1t would be i'm
practical and offensive to attempt to rep
resent the Master on the stage, and this is
not done. But many of those intimately
associated with Christ during His time on
earth, are presented with fidelity to the
best conceptions of their characters and
appearance, and the result is play which
is absorbing in interest and elevating in It's
teachings.
Great care has certainly been shown in
the selection of the cast, and the leading
parts will be taken by artists of exceptional
ability, who will give to the portrayal that
skill and intelligent conception which
makes an enjoyable performance. The en-
tire presentation is under the personal su
pervision of Clarence Bennett, the author
of the play, who himself appears as "Johr
the Baptist"
