 4 NEW ERA FOR THE
 MONTGOMERY Y. ". c. A.
 The Board of Directors of the Young Women's Christian Association held a Jubilee meeting last Monday morning, that date marking the consumma ton of a struggle most heroicaIly waged against the debt, which, for the past flow years, has encumbered the Asso- cIatioiL
 amounting In all to over $5,00o, has been paid in full.
 It is gratifying to note that in ad- dition to tho payment of the debt the Association has met all current bills.
 The final payment on tho debt was made November 13. At the meeting on Monday the mortgage was burned, amid the rejoicing of the faithful work . ars who compose the Board of Direc- tors. As they watched it burn, the ladies joined heartily In singing Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow. rs.
 Humanly speaking this success has been achieved through the conse- crated energy of the President, Mrs Florence Harris. Without her untirInx anorts, the struggle would necessarily nave been much larger one. The ladies recognized this fact as they gave her rising vote of thanks which but feebly expressed, their affectionate ap- preciation for her faithful services in the Associations behalf.
 A vote of thanks was also given Mrs. R. E. Steiner who loaned the money on generous terms. At this | meeting Mrs. Ste,uer was appointed Chairman of the Finance Committee to serve during the remainder of the year. .s
 The prosperity of the Association In all lines Is unrnistakable evidence of Gods approval for the work undertak- en, and the ladies thanked Him with full hearts on Monday morning. While representing churches of different de- nominations, this circle of women have been drawn very closely together, as 1 they have worked On Association prob lems. They. therefore, enjoyed to the full. the social hour which followed the transaction of business.

Sentenced to Pay $4,000 for Being In
illegal Combine.

New York.-Twenty-four companies
manufacturing manila wrapping paper
were fined $1,000 each by Judge Hough
in the United States circuit court Mon.
day. They pleaded guilty. to maintain.
ing an illegal combination in restraint
Of trade They were members of the

In imposing the fines, Judge Hough
said that the combination of paper
manufacturers was clear violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, but be-
cause of extenuating circumstances he
would impose fine only. The com.
panies have arranged to pay their
fines through their counsel.
The case against the companies was
instituted through the fundamentally

ton, for which John Norris OF this
city acted as agent. The companies
composed almost the entire member

here.
While it was known that Mr.. Cleve.
land had for the past three months
been suffering from a severe attack of
rheumatic govt and acute Indigestion,
his death came as complete surprise.
He had been a sufferer from govt
and diabetes for more than two years.
Early in 1906 he was stricken with an
attack of Indigestion, the result of dia-
betes, and for weeks was unable to
partake of any except liquid nourish-

A sojourn in the south improved his
health considerably.

Mr.. Cleveland returned to Princeton

Early last year he had repetition

some weeks his condition was such
that his life was despaired Of.

for life and won. In February last dia-
betes began to make itself felt again,
and Mr.. Cleveland became subject to
spells of Inconsistencies, coupled
again with inability to assimilate food.
