Y. M. c. A. Notes.

The Y. M. G. A. boys all over the
County are enthusiastic in their work this
fall Programmes for their entire winters
work are about completed. Bible study,
practical talks, debates, minstrel shows,
indoor games and athletics are among the
things planned.
The base ball season that is just closing
was very encouraging indeed. Smoking
and profanity that usually accompany
such games were entirely annihilated. One
business man remarked that he never saw
such clean base ball. sOne of the great
needs of the county is clean sport among
the boys. A few seasons like the one just
closing will stimulate this idea exceed
ingly.
Foot ball teams haye just been organ
lied in Moorestown and Mount Holly and
some games are scheduled. Games can be
had with these teams by writing Edwin
R. Summers, Mgr, of Moorestown and
Garfield Brown, Mgr, Mount Holly.
The Mount Holly Boys Bicycle Club
carried message by relay on Saturday
afternoon last, from John II. Hutchinson,
Attorney at Bordentown, to ]. Harvey
Borton, of Moorestown, Chairman of the
County Committee, by way Of Columbus,
Burlington and Mount Holly. They left
Bordentown at $3.50 sharp and rode the
distance of 30-2-10 miles in two hours, two
minutes and ten seconds.
Floyd Corr made the best time, riding a
distance of three miles in seven minutes.
The message carried was as follows:

Frank Parsons.

The Boston american, in its issue of
September Goth, published the following
editorial under the caption, Frank
Parsons Hero, Teacher and Peoples
Servant"
In the death of Professor Frank Parsons
in this city last Saturday morning the
working men and women of this country
and it would not be too much to say of
other countries, too-lost their most de-
voted and perhaps their most useful
teacher.
Every cause and movement that strives
for fair dealing among men, for progress
that blesses all, will sadly miss the voice
and tireless pen that told long before the
average run of men were ready for 1t of
the things that were surely coming to be-
A prophet speaks not only of things
religious To him economic and political
problems are interviewer with life and
with faith. Professor Parsons was such a
prophet,
His well-earned title of professor came
to him by duties as such in several colleges
and universities in this country. But his
real college and his largest classes were in
North End Of Boston both claimed his
ACdlO anu LAlAO
To the North End he has given his most
fruitful and most painful last years. AS
the leader of the Breadwinners' Institute
of the Civic Service House. founded four
years ago, he showed that the hand work
er, the shop, store and factory toiler, has
hunger and capacity for liberal educa-
ton that should be ministered unto.
His work was done 80 well that the
splendid courses of this institute will open
next week, carried on by the people he has
inspired with his purposes
Hard work kept him alive during the
agonizing last twelvemonth. Professor
Parsons, gifted and learned beyond the
average, marvelIously resourceful, bril-
liant in debate, died a poor man. Large
rewards were thrust upon him. He put
them aside, forgetful of self. He lived
for others.
An age that produces Frank Parsons
is not altogether materialistic age.

! Asked who searched the female prisoners
he said that one of the women in the jail
generally did that when necessary If
there was no woman prisoner in the Jail
his wife generally did it. Tramps are
placed in the basement Other prisoners
are allowed the freedom of the corridor
on the tier where they are confined. Some
times it is necessary to put two prisoners
In a cell. Boys are never put in with the
men. A question was then put to the Sheriff
to discover what it cost to feed the prison
ers He said the county gave him 80 cents
per day, and strenuous efforts were made
to have him disclose the fact that he did
not spend that much on each prisoner.
He said he left that to his turnkey and to
a man who helped. He did not know
what the prisoners got. He did know
what he bought and related the provisions
be supplied, He said he was running the
Office on fee basis and that he put all
his fees, including the 80 cents per day in
general fund from which he paid expen-
SEES and took what was left. What do
you pay your deputy and turnkey" was
asked. Il do not know that it is up to
me TO answer that question, replied the
sheriff. This brought secretary Ransom
TO his I66I WIFI Inc reudik ludb perhaps
the Sheriff did not know just what powers
the commission had The Sheriff said he
thought he had some idea and that he did
not believe it was within. the power
of the commission to go into the private
affairs of anyone and that he did not think
it any of the commissions business to in
quire what he paid his help. After
little talk over the matter he said he paid
three men $35 per week, but he declined
to itemiZe the account. The 80 cents he
gets per day for feeding prisoners does
not always show a profit Why the
amount was raised from % cents will have
to be explained by the board of freeholders.
Other counties pay considerably more than
30 cents.
Isaac A. Smith, the detective of the

The narrowing scenes of the fair grounds.
He saw bookmakers at work, and saw
gambling on horse racing and in other
'orms He took in many of the side

they closed the days performance by put |

commission adjourned.

The great New York sensation, "The
Devil, will soon be here. This remark
able drama, adapted by Marie Doran. has
proved huge success greater success
than any play of recent years. 1t is a
powerful drama, a moralizing story,
vivid painting of what his Satanic males
ty, in the guise of human, can do to the
soul His craftiness of purpose. and his
determination to make frail human ma
ture do his bidIing, starts tremendous
struggle between him and his victims,
which is startling in the extreme, leading
to many striking scenes and strong stu
ations This bold story is relieved with
honest, simple humor, which makes 1t all
the more appealing by reason of its ma
turalness. The play has proved won
derful success all over the country, and
should not fail to attract very liberal
patronage when presented at the Mount
Holly Theatre on Thursday evening, Oc-
tober s. Manager Doran, of the company,
promises an excellent organization of
PLAYERS.

Base Ball.

There was a fair-sized crowd at the
Mount Holly base ball grounds on Satur-
day, although it was understood from the
beginning that the game, which was be-
tween Mount Holly and Hainesport,
would not be especially interesting. The
score was IA to in Mount Holly's favor.
PARCEL and Matthews played with Bor-
dentown on Saturday. The Florence team
went to that city with the idea it would
have an easy thing with the Bordentown
boys, but that proved to be false notion.
PARCEL did some of his good batting. and
Matthews made some pretty catches, and
Florence went home defeated by the
score of to 4.
Next Saturday Mount Holly will go tc
Burlington, and on the following Satur
day Burlington will play here. Getting
rather late for games.

to investigate the causes of dependency
aud crime, on Tuesday. This is no new
subject. 1t has been considered by the
Board of Education, and was matter of
discussion at a meeting not month ago.
That such an officer might find work is
certain, but the statement of Mr.. Jamison
that there is ample room in the schools
for the children of the town is not cor
rect. If the truant law Is to be enforced
there will have to be another building
erected. That is bound to come, however,
within the next two years, in any case.
The argument that too many out-of-town
children are allowed to go to school here
does not enter into the subject under dis
cussion as 1t is the primary rooms that
are crowded. Ellis Fl. Parker never was

To show how sincere the members Of
