OF $4,000 To
SOMERVlLLE HOSPITAL

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 24:-On
September II, Mr.. S. S. Palmer, Il
wealthy resident of Princeton, with
Mrs. Turner and another lady, resi-
dent of Princeton, were on their way
to S~omerville, in Mr.. Palmer's auto
when a tire bursting at a dangerous
turn in the road, ditched the ma
chine.
Mrs. urner's arm was broken, her
hip was dislocated and a deep cash
was cut in the side of her head. An
other automobile brought the in
jured woman to Somerville and after
a fruitless search for a physician, Mr..
Palmer was directed to the Somer-
vilel hospital.
Such c~onsiderate treatemnt and at
tention was accorded Mrs. Turner
that Mr.. Palmer decided to make
suitable recognition, and today his
check for $500, the largest single
donation ever received in the history
of the institution, came to hand, ac-
companied by the request that no
publicity be given, but the story
leaked out.
At first it was believed that either
Grover Cleveland or Mayor McClel-
Ian, both of whom reside at Prince
ton, had had something to do with the
gift, but the real name of the donor
has been announced.

GOVERNOR AT
COUNTY SEAT
Addressed Two Audiences in
New Brunswick Last Might
Praised Present Legislators.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. "a
One of the most stirring speeches
heard in New Brunswick in some time
was that made at the republican
meeting at Y. M. c. A. hall last night
nv Governor Stokes. The governor
smoke early in the evening at the
First M. E. church and was then driv-
en- shortly after 9 o'clock to the AS
ISOLATION hall where he received an
ovation.
Governor Stokes was formally in
troduced ~ Mr.. W%hitlock, and after
the appklse had subsidized, the as
sembled Ioters heard a speech that
was as pt werful as it was brief.
The go gernor referred to his pres
ence at the meeting as an unexpected
incident in the progress of the night.
81 have just been congratulating the
Methodists of this city," he said,
upon their progressiveness in that
they are celebrating the one hun
dredth anniversary of their church
five years ahead of time. Compare
sons are odious, but | am inclined to
think that you are not far behind
them in adding me on this occasion
without any knowledge IN my part.
If you are as successful in making
votes on election day as you are in
kidnapping speakers, there is M
doubt about the result in Middlesex
county,"
In surveying the results of re-
publican ascendancy the governor de-
clared that prosperity had reached
the topmost rung. Wages we're neve:
so high, opportunities were neve so
plentiful, and banks were bursting
with the earnings of well-paid labor.
"And in this age of happiness" re-
marked the governor, 1--WE are asked
to make a change, and for WHAT"
A change such as that contemplat
ed by the Democrats, he declared,
meant a great change, it meant I'M
steadiness and doubt, the changing
of prosperity and the hating of in
dustry. A change was made in 1891,
the governor reminded his audience,
but the voters of the country lost no
time in changing back. And from the
year 1860 up to the present time, the
voters of the country have shown
their acceptance of the policy of the
republican party by the fact that the
party has not lost an election, but
upon that n occasion.
During his address the governor
spoke of his experience with the Mid
dleseX county representatives at Tren-
ton and praised them unreservedly.
In concluding his speech Governor
Stokes said: "If you wish to do
something to please me see that you
return your present delegates to Tren~
ton on election day."
