WILL APPEAL TO
THE LEGISLATURE.

THE Anti-Saloon League Is making
a great effort to have the present ses-
sion of the New Jersey Legislature
take favorable action upon its propos
ad local option bill. The bill has been
carefully prepared, and likely to be
introduced this week. The "Pio-
neer'' has already explained the bill.
TT is a local option measure pure and
simple. It provides that the people
shall decide by vote whether or not
liquor will be sold.
Tt his been decided that the mem
hers of the various churches through
ont the State will write individually,
personal letters to the members of the
Legislature in the various counties.
Tie form of the letter proposed. ad
dressed to the Senators and Assembly
men, is as follows:
Dear Sir. AS voting citizen of
YOUR district I desire to express the
hope that you may see your way clear
to vote for and advance in every way
the Local Option BiIl.proposed by the
Anti-Saloon League of New Jersey.
I shall follow the progress of the bill
with keen interest,""
In nearly all of the churches of this
city yesterday, this matter was pre-
sented from the pulpit. and the mem
ber urged to act promptly. All of the
churches publishing bulletins incor-
porated the appeal and tine form of the
letter in the notices.
Tt is quite likely that as result of
this vigorous and unique, personal
campaign, the members of the Legisla-
ture will be fairly deluged with mail,
and any attempt to acknowledge the
receipt of these letters will compel the
Legislators to have Secretaries who
will work overtime.
There will be several thousand of
these letters received by tine members
from this county.

Trenton, Feb. 16.-Rose Stahl, the

chase of new home. Last Wednes-
day the Stahl home, on East Front

Stahl and his wife were Tut to much
discomfort and inconvenience. Miss
Stahl read of the fire in the news
papers and at once wrote her brother
here, lnstructing him to look for a
suitable new home for their parents.
The young man found cosy house
on South Montgomery street, and its
purchase was at once consumm ated
when Miss Stahls check was re-
ceived.

DIR. III. w. ELMER
YIELDS TO DISEASE.

Henry Whitley Elmer, M. D., died
at his residence, Commerce and Frank
lin streets. at 1 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon, after an Illness extending
over two years, being confined to his
bed during the last year
DIR. Elmer comes of a long line of
eminent physicians, himself being a
physician and surgeon of rare emil
nence and skill. He was born in this
city April 26, 1847 and was never
married. He was the son of William
Elmer, M. D., and Eliza Robson
Elmer. His grandfather was William
Elmer, M. D., and his grandmother
was Nancy Blakesley Potter Elmer,
daughter of Col. David Potter. a dis
tlnguished soldier of the Revolution
airy War.
his great grandfather was Jonathan
Elmer, M. D., who was born in Cedar
Vile in 1745, and died in Bridgeton in
1917. He was very distinguished
medical practitioner and surgeon, and
statesman. He was a member of the
Provincial Congress in 1774, and a
member of the Continental Congress
l776 to 1888, a member of the New
Jersey Legislative Council 1880 to 1884
and United States Senator 1889 to
1891.
It IS coincidence that all these
she great grandfather, the grandfather
and the father, were graduates of
Princeton College and of the PennsEI-
vania University-later the University
of Pennsylvania.
DIR, Henry Whitley Elmer, after
passing through the public schools
studied at West Jersey Academy. He
graduated from Princeton College, as
had his forebears, in 1866, and three
years later, in 1869 he graduated from
the University of Pennsylvania.
He served after his graduation as
inferno in BlockIey Hospital in Phila-
delphia, and after this in Wells Hos
pital in the same city.
He then came to Bridgeton and was
associated in practice with his father,
finally succeeding to the entire prac-
tice some two years before his fathers
death, who retired owing to declining
he tn. His mother died In 1887 and
his father in 1882
DIR. Elmer, just deceased, was one
of the most eminent of our local phv-
sicians, noted alike for his skill and
attachments as for his warm and pleas
ant personality.
Like his forebears, he was an ardent
patriot, Republican in politics. but
loving his country with devotion far
above politics.
He was Director of Cumberland
National Bank, a Director of the
Bridgeton Gas Light Co., Trustee of
West Jersey Academy and a leading
member and Trustee of West Presby-
terian Church.
One brother, William Elmer, M. D.,
OF Trenton, and one sister, Mrs. Mar
garet K. Porter, survive him.
10 wide circle of the community
in all classes of life in this city he
vas met as a cordial gentleman, and
to Shosa closer connected was a warm
and fast friend. In his practice as
physician his best skill was always
available to the most humble as to the
wealthy.
He honored bis profession in his
efforts to relieve the suffering regard
less of the dollars and cents and when
sickness laid her hand upon him he
was loath to give up practice until it
became imperative for him to do so.
A great physician has passed away
from this place in the death of DR..
Henry Whitley Elmer.
