The important operation Of ampu-
tating the conceit of the "Court House
Ring was performed in the Office of DR..
Harrison W. Howell on Thursday after
noon by two physicians, a plumber and
a business man.
That the aforementioned gentlemen
did not care to publicly meet and or
ganize themselves into a Board of Health
and elect a secretary and several eXecu-
tive officers, was apparent by the secre-
tive manner in which they met. Instead
of holding the meeting in the Office OF the
Board OF Health they quietly gathered
in DIR. Howell's Office at S24 Washing
ton street When q reporter OF Every
Evening called up DR.. Howell, for the
purpose of ascertaining where the meet
ing was to be held a female voice an
swered the telephone, and this converse
tion followed:
as DIR. Howell in ?" asked the re-
porter.
"Wil you call him to the telephone,
please ?"
"Who is calling ?"
"a reporter OF Every Evening, was
the reply
The lady left the phone, but returned
in few minutes and said;
"The doctor is very busy at present,
performing an important and serious
operation and will have you to call him
later. Il is an emergency case"
Later it became apparent what the
operation was and the general opinion
seems TO be that it was absolutely neces,
sary. Also, that it was accomplished
in the most successful manner, for the
"Court House Ring candidate was not
nominated for secretary OF the Board ol

RECITAL AT EAsTLAKE.

Eastlake Methodist Episcopal Church
was afforded an unusual and exception
ally fine treat in the second Stauiier-
McCauley Recital given last evening to
the crowded and decidedly appreciative
audience. Mrs. Myre Miller-Staufier was
the soprano soloist and reader; Miss
Edith May McCauley the piano and
mandolin soloist; Master w. Russell Nc
Cauley the violin soloist, and their entire
high grade programme was rendered in
superb style, far eXcelling the recital
they gave here a year ago.
Miss McCauley's own compositions,
the paraphrase on Lead, Kindly
Light" and "Iife's Story in Ye Olden
Songs" deserve especial mention, as
they brought out so well the young
lady's talent. The recital trio come
from Mannheim, Lancaster county, Pa,
and they were urged TO return next year

done by the Delaware branch. Miss
Weaver spoke for the West End; Miss
Primrose for the Coreopsis; Miss Clough
for the Wide Awake; Miss Ferris for the
Violet Ray; Miss Appleby for the Forget
me-nots; Mrs. Morris for the Sunny Hour
Mrs. Morrow for Cynthia's Helpers, and
Mrs. Briggs for Old Swedes Willing
Workers.
The reports were well delivered and
told of splendid work. 1t is impossible
to tell all that is being done Some Of
the things accomplished, however, are as
follows: Loaning Of wheel chairs to
cripples, supporting fatherless family,
support Of a child in kindergarten Of the
Peoples Settlement, remembering birth
days and holidays of shut-ins, Christmas
boxes, Easter flowers and cards, passing
on clothing, toys, magazines.
Some Of theirecently. organized branches
told Of prospective fields of labor.Cvn-
thia's Helpers will work in the interests
of the blind Blind children are edu-
Gated by the State and taught TO be-
come self-supporting. When an adult
loses his sight, there is nothing he can
! do, and pauperism looms up before him.
, Industrial education for the adult blind
is greatly needed in this State This
subject was presented by c. Reginald
Van Trump, who was present as a
specially invited guest.
There are 13 branches enrolled but
two have never reported. OF the II
remaining, five were organized by the
/ State Iorganizer, Mrs. George W. Dorsey,

in forming new branches. Mrs. Dorsey
has been a most jealous organizer. Much

The meeting closed after an election Of
State officers. Mrs. j. n Pennewil was
elected State president; Miss Winifred
Weldin, vice-president; Miss Jennie
Weaver, secretary; Miss Ella Ferris
treasurer.
It is a great advantage TO have {

in securing so efficient a person as Mrs

EARLY Autograph Hunters,

A certain Atossa In early Roman days
seems to have been the mother Of au-
togrsph collectors Cicero had collec-
ton, which must have been a fine one,
for he speaks of 1t with particular
pride. The fever, even In those far
back days. was contagious. Pliny
speaks Of Pompeius SecunduS, at
whose house he had seen autographs
OF Cicero, Augustus. Virgil and the
Gracchi, and his own collection was
valued at $4,000 Of our money. Then
came the thrush Of barbarians, and we
do not again meet with the collector
until the beginning of the sixteenth
century. when he reappears in the per-
son Of Bohemian squire, who kept a
book to record his exploits in the chase
and enriched 1t with the signatures OF
his great hunter friends.

A Rank Pesslmist.

A Lady Bountful living In subur-
ban village met an old man on the road
one day and asked after his family, his
health, etc. The old man gave a rather
gloomy account Of things. He had to
work all day and every day, and he
was growing old and felt the cold and
was always tired. He wished he could
rest a bit after his long life OF labor.
He was weary, very weary.
Lady Bountlful reminded him gently
that every one had his share OF work
TO do in this world, and that 1t was all
only a preparation Of the world to
come. where there will be no tears or
labor.
The old man shook his head and smil-
ed cynically.
"That may be for the likes Of you,
he said. But therell be work for the
likes Of me. 1t will be the same thing
there: John, clean the sun John
hang out the moon John, light the
stars John, stop the wind They viii
find something for me to do. ma'am-
you'll see"
