DEATH OF SUPERINTENDENT RI. HOLIDAY
Head of the Delaware Division Railroad Dies
Suddenly, Saturday of Appoplexy.

Robert Lowry Holiday, superin-
tendent of the Delaware division OF
the P, B. and W. Railroad, died sud
denly at his home in Dover on Satur-
day of apoplexy. His death came as a
shock to large circle of friends as he
was one of the best known and most
popular men in the state. General
Holiday was at his office as usual on
Saturday morning, but shortly before
II o'clock was taken ill. He expressed
a desire to go home and j. HI. Stodel-
man, assistant engineer of the Della
ware division, accompanied him to
Dover. Dr.L. A. H. Bishop was sum
moned, but MI. Holiday died at 2
o'clock. His wife, who was attending
meeting of the State Federation of
Women's Clubs, in Seaford, reached
home before the death of her husband.
His sons were away, however. The
deceased had been in failing health
for some time, but was as we'll as u.s.
ual on Saturday. Robert Lowry Hol-
liday was born at Bellwood, Blair
county, Pa, May 9th, 1S48. He was
educated at Logan Academy, Bellwood.
and Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute,
Troy, N. Y. From rodman to a rail
road superintendent, his rise was
rapid. April 1st, 1891, he became sup.
erintendent of the Delaware railroad.
From that time he has made his home
in Dover. The main offices of the
company were located at Clayton I'M
til March of this year, when they were
moved to Wilmington, but Gen. Hol-
liday continued to live in Dover, al
though it is understood that he had
contemplated moving to Wilmington
soon. He leaves a widow, who was
Miss Cornelia Rupp of Pennsylvania,
and two sons, Percy and Fleming, who
recently graduated from college. Fun
eral services were held at the late res
idence of the deceased in Dover,
which was largely attended, not only
by railroad men, but by the town peo-
pie generally. The floral tributes
were many and handsome. Services
were in charge of Rev. JOS. B. Turner.
The remains were taken to Bellwood,
Pa, his former home, for interment.

CALIFORNIA; GOVERNOR THANKS PUPILS

Writes Personal Letter Thanking Little Folks
of Miss Mary Spruance's Room For Donation
Recently the little tots in Miss Mary
Spruance's room made up a donation |
of 81. so for the San Francisco earth |
quake sufferers. Touched by the sym
pathetic efforts of her pupils, Miss
Spruance had the money forwarded to
Governor Pardee of California. The
latter made the following reply:
Executive Mansion, Sacramento,
May 3:-My dear young Friends of the
Smyrna Primary School:-I have re-
ceived your letter and your check on
the bank, and want to thank you fer
being SO good and kind as to think of
the little boys and girls in San Fran
cisco who now have no schools to go
to, because their school houses were
burned down il the dreadful fire.
There were nearly thirty school
houses burned in San Francisco, and
some of them were very large build
ings i'll which hundreds of boys and
girls attended school. First there was
a great earthquake, which shook down
some of the buildings, and scared
great many people; but the earthquake
would not have been one quarter so
bad as the fire which followed it. This
fire burned for three days and nights,
and all the great business buildings
and many thousands of homes were
burned up. There was no water to
use i'll putting out the fire, and moth
ing could be done to stop it except to
blow up the buildings in front of it.
The people whose homes were burned
fled to the park and other open spaces,
and great many little boys and girls
with their parents, were compelled to
sleep out doors and suffer from cold
and hunger, until tents and provisions
could be furnished. Some little chill
dren got separated from their families
and have not even yet been found. Ii
the kind people all over the country
had not come to their help with money
and food, thousands would have soon
died. But trainloads of provisions and
great sums of money were sent from
every city and town, and SO the poor
people were saved.
1t will be long time before all oi
the burned school houses can be re-
built but it will be done as soon as Il
can be accomplished, because the peo
pie Of California believe in schools anc
do not mean that their boys and girl
shall grow up without an education.
think that is true of Delaware also.
So, / thank you for sending you
pennies to aid in the good work.
will send the money to the men in Sar
Francisco, who have charge of the re
lief fund, and feel sure they will us
it for the purpose for which you sen
n il.
Very truly yours,

own in Port Penn. He had devoted
family of five children, four of whom
live in Port Penn and QUE son married
and lives in Delaware City. The cor

Mr.. Laid, who has served as state
master for several years, gave way
this year to G. D. Richardson, whose
popularity may be noted in the fact
that he received total of 301 out of a
total of BOG votes cast. While the
Patrons of Massachusetts regretted to
lose Mr.. Ladd from the chief office,
they were greatly pleased when the
announcement was made by National
Master Bachelor, who was present,
that Mr.. Laid had been appointed ma
tional organizer and would begin his
work in the west in January. This ap-
pointment to larger field came as a
surprise to many, but when its full
Importance was realized their enthusi-
asm was unboun6ed. This is an evil
dence of what the national grange pro-
poses to do along the line of extension
work this year. Two or three general
organizers are to be sent into those
western states where the grange Is
weak or where it does not exist, and
later they will be given such assist
ants as may be needed to further the
work. Mr.. Laid is native of Stur-
bridge, Mass, where he has always
lived; was for four years lecturer Of
the state grange and served for like
period as state master He has served
in the state legislature and was ap-
pointed last year by the governor on
committee to study the conditions and
laws of this and other countries in re-
gard to forest lands.
Massachusetts has also a strong
grange insurance company, carrying
policies to the amount Of $780, Alb.
The company paid 10 per cent diyi-
dend this year. National Master Bach
elder gave an address on Agriculture,
the Basis of Other Industries" The
sixth degree was conferred on 293
candidates, the largest class ever adj
mitted to the state body.

cooperative Purchasing of Farm
Supplies an Important Feature.
New Jersey is small state, but there
are over 5000 members Of the grange
enrolled within its limits. There has
been an increase of 2,137 during the
year. Cooperative buying is practiced
with great success in several of the
oranges of the state. Sweedsboro
grange reports purchases amounting to
$4,000, yineland $4,000, Moorestown
nearly $4,000 and several others re-
port large transactions.
The automobile is causing New Jer-
sey farmers considerable trouble and
the grange win endeavor to have an
amendment to the automobile law
made calling for the regulation of the
gearing for machines which will limit
their speed to twenty miles per hour.
The repeal of the law authorizing the
election Of township road supervisors
is opposed by the grange. The aboii-
ton of the fee system for public Off
GERS is favored.
The success of the national grange
meeting held at Atlantic City is rightly
pleasing to the members Of the Order
in New Jersey. as is also the election
of State Master George W. +. Gaunt
to the Office Of national lecturer
