"A French magazine writer who has
been looking into the subject OF freak
newspapers thinks that one OF the
most remarkable Of these was the
Luminaria, published In Madrid. The
ink with which 1t was printed contain
ed small percentage OF PHOSPHORUS,
SO that the letters we're visible and the
paper could be read In the dark.
Next after this he finds remarka-

tanned one could eat 1t, thus deriving
from 1t nourishment for mind and

* The publisher OF new Partisan
journal. lie Bien 'Etre, promised to
all subscribers for 40 consecutive
years pension and free burial In
spite of the inducement subscribers
were so few that the paper died In

by a paper called lie MOuchoir, the
handkerchief 1t was printed on pa

napkins are made Of and might pc
used in case the reader forgot or lost
his handkerchief. II did not last long.
X At two different French seacoast re-
sorts newspapers called the Courier

La Naiade, which doesn't need trans

Among the Worst city Noises.

All American cities are afflicted
with too many noises, most of them
wholly unnecessary, and In the opin-

many OF the nervous disorders which

as the raucous yelling of the street
peddlers who drive their carts at a
snail's pace through the residence
districts. shouting at the top OF their
voices from morning until night The
practice is offensive enough to well
persons who have enjoyed a nights
rest, but to the sick and to night
workers who are compelled to sleep in

The citizens of Smyrna join
with the members of St. Peter s
Church in expressing their heart
felt appreciation to Mr.. Morris
Lewis Clothier for the magnificent
gift of the Westminster peal of
bells to this parish. Such gifts
whether it be made out of respect to
the memory of a departed friend or
not, it is a matter that concerns
the public, and since Smyrna is
now unique among the towns of
the Peninsula in having chimes,
our citizens who will listen to the
bells for many years to come will
be reminded OF Mr.. ClOthier s
generosity and what it has meant
for the Parish and the whole town.
It is the spirit of giving, such as
has been evidenced in the above
case that makes the world better.
Mr.. Clothier is a man of large af-
fairs and tits pleasing to note that
he takes time amid the busy activ-
tiles of life to give of his means on
such large scale, to remember his
friend of by-gone days. St. Peters
Parish and the people of Smyrna
feel under debt of gratitude to
the donor of such a gift for the
good it will do the church and for
the inspiration it will be to the
town.

BRILLIANT RECEPTION AT ST. PETERS

Mr.. Morris Lewis ClOthIer, Donor Of tn. Bells

Most Delightful Social Gathering.
The parish house of ST. Peters
Church was crowded to its full capacity
Saturday evening at a delightful re-
ception given by the and Rector, Ward
ems. and Vestry of the church in honor
of Bishop Coleman, of this Diocese, and
Mr.. Morris Lewis ClOthier, of Philadel-
phia. Inasmuch as Mr.. ClOthier had
so kindly donated the beautiful peal
of bells to the church, it was but fitting
that the people Of Smyrna, without
respect to denomination shonld be
given an opportunity to meet him as
well as the good bishop and with this
end in view the reception was planned,
The parish-house was beautifully de.
cOrated with dog wood, lilacs, cut and
potted flowers and plants, which liter
ally banked one end of the little edi-
fee. Hidden to view by these decOra-
tiOns was Norris Orchestra of three
pieces which discOursed some beauti-
full overtures and bright music during
the evening. The Committee in charge
of the Reception consisting of Mrs. W.
NJ. Lewis, Mrs. NJ. X. d. Eldridge
and Mrs. &. V. Gilreath welcomed the
guests who were in turn presented to
the hOnOred guests of the evening:
Right Reverend Leighton Coleman,
bishop of the diocese, Mr.. Morris Lewis
ClOthier, of Philadelphia, donor of the
peal of bells, Rev. A G.. Cummins,
rector of Christ Church, Poughkeepsie,
n. Y, Rev. G.. V. Gilreath, and ward
ems, Mr.. w. E. Waters and Mr.. W. H.
Janney, ofSt Peters Church, Smyrna.
1t was a brilliant yet democratic gath.
ering and the good feeling that was
manifested had its climax in an over
whelming testimony of heartfelt appre-
citation to Mr.. ClOthier for his muni6cent
gift This was later demonstrated by
some happy speech-making. Rev. G.
V. Gilreath, rector of the church, on be-
behalf of the vestry and Pensioners
thanked Mr.. ClOthier for what he had
done and this thought was taken up and
enlarged upon by Bishop Coleman, Rev
A. G. Cummins, Mr.. w. E. Waters and
Mr.. John Catherwood, the latter from
Philadelphia. These addresses were
responded TO by Mr.. Clothier. Re-
freshments were served in the course
of the evening by Caterer George M.
Stevenson, of Smyrna. Over $50 invi-
tations were extended. The reception
lasted from eight to eleven.
