Rev Jessie R. Thompson, pastor of the
Broad Street M. E. Church, Trenton. wa.
stricken in his pulpit Sunday morning
shortly after he had opened his service.
Mr.. Thompson is not enjoying robust
health and he has been laboring unusually
hard for the past month or more and
the members of his flock have noticed and
spoken of his exhausted condition.
Sunday morning after he had offered
prayer and had announced the hymn he
was noticed to grow deathly white and
sink into his chair. His wife went to his
side and hoisted window to allow him
some air She then left him after he had
become revived and went to the parsonage.
The pastor then attempted to rise to
preach, when he fell to the platform in a
faint.
Several members of the church ran to
his assistance and cared for him and finally
he was restored to consciousness. He was
then removed to the parsonage and the
congregation dismissed.
In the evening, despite the protests of
his church membership, he occupied his
pulpit and preached sermon

Health Matters Discussed.

DR.. A. N. Mccormack, representative
of the American Medical Association
made an address In the Court House, last
night, on matters of interest to physi
clans and the public, and the necessity OF
co operation between the two in order to
preserve the health of the community.
He referred to the health statistics of New
Jersey, showing that large number of
deaths occur each year from the commu-
nicable diseases consumption, diphtheria
and scarlet and typhoid tevers, none of
which can be contracted in any way ex-
cept by germs, and all of which can be
avoided by proper precaution.
He referred to the necessity of strict
inspection of water and milk supplies,
both of which are SO liable of contamina-
ton and thus cause disease. Thousands
of infants die each year from polluted
or adulteIated milk, which could easily
be avoided. The common housefly,
which breeds in manure heaps, and alter
mates in its visits to outhouses and the
spreading disease, and should be kept
from food supplies by screens. During
the Spanish American war tie housefy
was found to be the sole cause of the
spread of typhoid fever in one of the large
camps. Mosquitoes also are the vehicle
for the spread of some diseases.
Patent medicines were condemned in
strong terms. The nostrums most adver.
tised contain large percentages of alcohol
or narcotics and small medicinal value.
Their sale should be discouraged by
every method possible.
A constant inspection of school chill
dren is safeguard against the spread of
disease, and by this method defective eye
sight, hearing and other troubles are dis
covered and remedied.
The treatment of diseases by the boy
behind the drug counter has been prolific
of future trouble to the victim and others,
particularly true of diseases contracted
by young men.
DIR. Mccormack urged the necessity of
meetings between physicians and other
professional men and with the public to
discuss matters of health, so that everyone
may become interested in the prevention
of diseases. Cooperation will achieve
results in that direction. The
time is coming, said the speaker, when
many physicians will be employed to pre-
vent, instead of curing. diseases; when the
election or appointment of medical men
to public office to inspect diaries, water
supplies, food stores, school children, ETC.,
will be considered as important as it is to
have court Judges.
DR.. Mccormack spoke in praise of the
county medical societies that have been
organized all over the United States.
These societies are educators of the mem
bers, and by and through them most of
the education of the public on health
matters will be achieved.
At the conclusion of the address a vote
of thanks was rendered to DR.. Mccormack
for his interesting and instructive address,
The meeting was presided over by F.
B. Lewis. The attendance was not large

The bark Charles Loring, which was
run down by the Clyde liner Seneca on
February 2, and went ashore at Barnegat
City on February 9Th, had cargo of 1885,
600 feet of yellow pine. Much of it is said
to be prime stuff and is scattered from
Barnegat City to Harvey Cedars, little
going south of that point. The lumber
was bought from the underwriters by
Wilkinson G. Conrad, of Barnegat and
R. F. Rutter, of West Greek, for $4OO
A delegation of business and professional
men from New Egypt, about twenty
strong, appeared before the Board of Free
holders at the meeting on Tuesday to
advance the interests for a state and
county road from New Egypt to Lake
wood, distance of about nineteen miles.
For some time New Egypt has felt the
need OF road, making connecting link
between their town and Lakewood, and
the county seat. AT present the road
from New Egypt to Lakewood is in very
bad shape, and rarely used. The building
of gravel road through this section of
the country would open the traffic from
Trenton to the county seat, and would be
much used by automobiles.
The artesian well being driven by the
New Egypt Water Company is now down
1875 feet, and while several good streams
have been struck, they are not strong
enough for a permanent supply, so the
work is still going on. A large standpipe
will be erected in place of the tower and
tank in use. When the work is finished
New Egypt will have supply of water
second to none in the State. George
Pfeiffer of Camden, has the well driving
contract. The company is composed of
local men and most of the stock is held by
the board of Directors. Senator Shinn is
president; Morris E. Lamb, e-president
Game Warden Foulks, secretary; and
druggist William G. Jones, treasurer.
The directors are Senator Shinn, L. E
Foulks, W. c. Jones, Morris E. Lamb and

Judge Martin decided on Wednesday to
grant new trial to Wilkinson G. Conrad,
of Barnegat, former bank president and
county collector, who was convicted in
!, January of retaining funds belonging to
the county. Conrad was Treasurer OF
Ocean County from November, 1899, te
November, 1906 Just before his term ex-
2 pired scandals connected with the Board
r of Freeholders aroused the public and al
= application was made for the appointment
. of Supreme Court Commissioner to max,
: an investigation. Acton G. Hartshorne
r of Freehold, who conducted the inquiry
2 reported that Conrad owed the county a
least $500, and that county checks haC
been issued by Conrad in his own bust
S ness. As result of the investigation Con
q rad paid back nearly $4,000, but was in
S dicted on half dozen indictments charg

: was made two weeks ago. In giving hi
: decision Judge Martin simply said that b

Home" and Home Agar" by chorus of |
thirty young women, there were also |
numerous other musical and literary
selections. Men of prominence in the af- |
fairs OF the town made addresses and later |
in the evening Mr.. and Mrs. Thacher
were presented with handsome silver
loving cup and large palm.

Not Dead.

NOT DEAD.
Charles Barnes, we'll known in Borden
town, having been resident of the latter
place for several years, who was supposed
to have been lost from sound steamer on
the Fall River line four years ago, has
turned up alive and well and reioined his
wife, who is now in Europe, and who has
mourned him as dead for years.
Mrs, Barnes, who was the matron of the
Bordentown Military school, after vainlv
trying to obtain some tidings of her hus-
band, resigned her position last June and
became chaperon of party of American
girls who wanted to tour Europe.
Her grief over the disappearance of her
husband weighed terribly on her mind
and the strain told on her nervous and
physical condition. Before going to Eu-
rope she had memorial window erected
in the Episcopal church at Stamford,
Conn, the birthplace of her husband, and
also monument erected to his memory in
the Episcopal cemetery.
Recently Barnes made his appearance
at Bordentown and went at once to the
military institute to see his wife. When
he learned that his wife mourned him as
one dead and that she had gone to Europe,
his grief knew no bounds, and on January
%, of the present year, he left on the
ocean steamer Celtic for Europe.
He found his wife chaperoning the
young ladies in Rome, Italy, and it is said
that the joy of Mrs Barnes at meeting the
long lost husband nearly killed her.
A prominent Trentonian, who knows
both Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes intimately, says
that Barnes, in telling of his mysterious
disappearance, said that all he could re-
member was that on Saturday, September
II, 1902, he boarded Fall River steamer
bound for Boston.
He remembers being on the boat anc
then comes long blank. He completely
lost his identity and wandered aimlessly
from city to city without knowing who HI
was or where he was going.
Early in January his mental faculties
returned to him while he was in Boston
He wrote to his wife at Bordentown anC
receiving no reply, came in search of her
with the above mentioned result.
There was no financial or domestic diff
ficulty mixed up in the case at ALL |
was simply the case of bright, brain,
business man suddenly becoming de
ranged. Mr.. Barnes is about Az years o
age, while his wife is five years his junior
