HARRY STONE MARTIN.
PLAYS THE ORGAN.
Members of st. Paul's Church Congrega-
ton at Railway Resent His Doing
So. However.
Especial to the Evening start

RAILWAY, Sept. 16.-Harry Stone
Martin, over whom hangs the charges
made before the Hahn investigating
committee, presided at the organ in
st, Paurs Church today. His appear
ance was greeted with frowns of disap-
proval by a good portion of the con-
gregation, who think that before letting
him play again the vestry should have
waited until Martin had fully estab-
lished his innocence.
The statement that he had been ex-
onerated by the officials and board of
commissioners of the New Jersey Re-
formatory, which it is understood was
told the vestry, as well as published in
a letter to all his music pupils, is con-
tradicted by the evidence given by
Commissioner Decator M. Sawyer, of
Montclair, who stated on Thursday last
before the Hahn committee that Super
intendent Martin, though he had prom
ised the committee to suspend his son,
Harry S. Martin, and bring the charges
to the attention of board of commits
%sioners, he had not done so, and that
the board had not had 1t before or
acted on the matter. The affair will
undoubtedly cause a division in the
church.

THE INTERSTATE FAIR.
New Departments, Including Vaudeville,
Added to Attractions.

The Interstate Fair at Trenton, NJ. j..
will be opened this year Monday, Septein-
Der 80. and will close Friday, October 4.
The week will be filed with pleasant sur
prises for this, the greatest fair east Of the
Mississippi. New departments have been
added, the racing program has been en-
tirely revamped and a vaudeville program
combining the newest and best of outdoor
attractions will be presented.
Theodore II. Coleman. the acknowledged
peer of race meet promoters in the United
States and the best known horseman IN
this country, has been engaged to conduct
the horse racing department. Coleman is
OF Wilkesbarre, and whenever his name
appears in connection with a meet horse
men know the very best is coming to them
and TO patrons of the racing. He is the
main who for 4 time managed the Empire
City track and who established the New
York State Fair. At his spring meets this
year in Scranton and Wilkesbarre he had
200 horses entered. an unprecedented rec
ord.
Mr.. Coleman's policy at the Interstate
fair is shown by the fact that two days
after he signed his engagement for Tren-
ton he contracted for the appearance at
the Interstate Fair of Major Delmar, the
king Of t%rotters, with the worlds trotting
record of 1:5oA. to go against time.
The racing program, entries for whicn
close September "a, consists Of thirteen
classes for purses of $500 each. The fastest
race is the 200 pace and the sIowest the
2:29 trot. TIL intermediate races are ar
ranged TO accommodate the most popular
classes, thus assuring good fields OF we'll
matched horses in all of these events.

STATE GETS RELICS
S. [. ROBERTS, EXPERT COL
LECT0R, MAKES GIFT.
Collection Consists of Railroad Exhibits.
How Passengers Were Once Way
billed" Like Freight.

TRENTON, Sept. 16.-Possessing in a
very pronounced degree the untiring
energy of the true relic-hunter, Samuel L..
Roberts, of 1859 East State street, is prob
ably better Informed on the progress made
in the construction of roadbeds for the
operation of trains than any other Trenton
man. Sections of siXty-nine varieties of
rails which were used at different times
were collected by him. and are now on ex-
hibition in the museum at the State
house, being his gift to the State, to-
gether with the case in which they are
shown In the display are also a number
of spikes that were in use on the primitive
roads. Before the advent of the modern
Sleeper" stone blocks supported the
tracks. The blocks were bored and plugged
with pieces of timber, into which the
spikes were driven.
One noticeable fact in the method OF
securing the rails is that the same general
principle is adhered to today, despite the
many other experiments that were made.
Mr.. Roberts, who is now 79 years old. was
an office employee of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for a number of years,
and in 1905 was p%ensioned.
One marvels at Mr.. Roberts's acuteness
despite his age. From appearances one
could not tell that he has seen the SHOWS
of so many winters, so elastic is his step
and so we'll is he preserved. Most enter
tainingly does he speak on the subject
that is always foremost with him. and he
is never happier than when so doing. His
store of knowledge is almost i~nexhaustible
on the subject Of railroads, and so interest
ing Is he that he can hold ones attention
almost indefinitely. Ancient pamphlets
showing the different makes of rails are In
his possession and these supplement his
personal knowledge.
Mr.. Roberts was born in Bordentown
In 1885 and lived In that city until about
a year ago, when he came TO Trenton TO
reside with his daughter. Mrs. Philip Mat
thews. He first worked in Gordon e. Mick
els general store and remained there nine
years. Following this he entered the en-
ploy Of the Bordentown Machine Company
and retained that position for the same
length of time, when he opened a notion
store Of his own. After this he went into
the coal business, which he followed for
eighteen months. when. at the age of IS
years, he obtained a situation with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Even before he took the situation with
the railroad company he had shown de-
light In searching for relics associated
with the early operation of trains, and
reached his true sphere when he became
actively engaged with the railroad COM
pany.
Ills first position was with the assistant
engineer, and after this was with the super
visor. His taste for gathering relics was
recognized and when the railroad company
determined TO place an exhibition at the
Chicago Worlds Fair in 1898 Mr.. Roberts
was selected to secure the various articles

RAILROAD
WHY YOU SHOULD SEE JAMESTOWN.

The jamestown Exposition is no longer a prospect; it has
developed into an interesting reality. It's field is distinctly
historical, and it literally illustrates by picture and reproduction
the development of American civilization and American instt,-
tons from the day of the first settlement on Jamestown peninsula
in 1907 through three hundred years to the present time. Fa-
nous buildings in the Nations history have been reproduced bv
thirty different states. filled with me mories of the olden times
and OF memorials of the upward march.
The National Government has taken a keen interest in
the Exposition, and is one of its chief exhibitors. The display
OF modern warships of all natious on Hampton Roads is a UNIQUE
and attractive feature, and the military manoeuvres lend a stir
ring touch to the daily program.
The jamestown Exposition is a prominent event in our
National history and should be visited by every American citizen
who desires to see what three hundred years of American enter
prise has wrought in our land.
The pennsylvania Railroad offers attractive service via
Philadelphia and its Cape Charles Route by its routes via
Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay lines, via Washington and
the Potomac River line, and via Washington and Richmond
The rates are reasonable and the fare varies according to the
route and length of the stay.

sanctuary at the foot Of Chapel avenue,
which runs through the New York Bay
cemetery. A Bible reading at $50 pre-
coded the sermon by the pastor. Martin
Hancox.
The most interesting service was at 2:30
D. m. when the faithful gave their Eek
periences.'' A bright-looking young man,
whose name could only be ascertained as
that of Brown. a messenger boy for a
Wal street brokerage firm. praised God
that he had been cured of a sour dispo-
sition. He said he had in his disposition
a "doubly distilled essence of vine
gar" but he said the Lord had taken 1t
all away from him and now he spent his
time in making other people happy.
A negro named Williams testified that
he had been saved from the fate of a
gambler and a drunkard. Jesus pitied
me-" he said. and picked me up and
made q man Of me-" Several others testi-
fled that they had been saved from a
dlunkard's grave.
A Mrs. Carlson testified to having
betn cured of a cancer of the stomach
after the doctors had pronounced her case
incurable.
Miss Grace Plat. a Newark teacher Of

BLUE LAWS DID NOT
STOP "PENNSY" TRAINS,
Road Threatened with Prosecution by
South Fork Officials, but Paid
No Attention.

JoHNSTOWN, Pa, Sept. 16.-Not-
withstanding the ultimatum of Burgess
Scofield. in which prosecution under the
blue laws was threatened, the Fennsyl-
vania Railroad Company cont,r ued to
sell tickets and operate trains on it's
main line through South Forl. yester-
day, while the electric light plant in
the borough did business as usual last
night, and the liverymen continue to
hire out rigs just the same.
Otherwise South Fork was tight yes
terday. All the ne~wsstands. restau-
rants, cigar stands and drug stores
were closed during the day. The latter
establishments were open a short time
last evening for the sale of drugs. But
some of the p%roprietors say If the big
fellows are not compelled to obey the
law they will pen for business next
Sunday as usual.

COCKTAILS AGAIN.
Their Production at Fairbanks Dinner
Put Up to Roosevelt.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 16.-That
President Roosevelt himself asked for
the cocktails served at Vice-President
Fairbanks's dinner at Indianapolis,
which got the Vice-President into
trouble with his Methodist brethren, is
the story told by Bishop Joseph F.
Berry on the authority of indianapolis
churchmen. The bishop said:
There probably is no doubt that liquor
of some sort appeared on the Vice
Presidents table when he entertained
President Roosevelt at indianapolis,
but. as II is told to me, the Vice
President did not order the drinks and
did not even know they were served.
Mr.. Fairbanks never touches a drop of
intoxicants himself, but it is well
known tina President Roosevelt likes a
drink now and then.
When he came to Indianapolis, the
word went from the President to the
cnterer, whether directly or through
his secretary, that he wanted the
drinks, and the drinks were served.
The arrangements were entirely In the
hands of the caterer. and 1t is credible
that Mr.. Fairbanks did not even notice
that they were on the table.

FOR CHURCH MILITANT.
Says the Master So Intended-strength
in Unity, Not in Big Membership.

The Rev. Stuart Nye Hutchinson, pastor
of the First Reformed Church. in Clinton
avenue, preached yesterday morning ON
1.-The Unity of the Church. "Waging a
warfare. "1he said. lis the church's especial
function and the purpose for which the
Son of God organized the church will
never be finished until that is accom-
plished. There are different ideas as to the
nature of the warfare laid down by the
Lord" said the clergyman. ''There is the
church termagant, and the church militant,
and the church beneicent, but the latter
alone is engaged in fighting for the work
the Lord intended-in fighting for good.
The members of the church termagart
spend their time fighting among them
selves said Mr.. Hutchinson, while the
church militant wastes energy fighting
other churches. mo army can ever sue
ceed," declared the pastor. miles there
is army unity. No church ever had the
smallest measure of success unless backed
by the united spirit of those who made up
its membership" Continuing, the Rev.
Mr.. Huttchison said:
TIT strongest churches in the coun-
try are not those having the largest
asunder. The strongest churches in the
country are not those having the largest
membership. or the greatest amount of
wealth or the most able men at the head
there is, the greatest measure of unity
among the members. The union that binds
the members OF a church together must be
a unity in which the same life flows
through all, or it is no unity at all.
There is no form of organization in the
world where Jealousies and factions are
so likely to rise as In religious and church
organizations, simply for the reason that
In order to be a consistent follower of
Jesus Christ a man or woman must be
humble. n 1t IS the very hardest thing
in the world for human nature to do.
The church is an army enlisted for the
work and the service of the Lord. We
cannot afford to allow our own prejudices
and our own hard-headed opinions and our
own self-esteem to keep US from joining
heart and hand with those Who are tight
ing the battles of the King.
