genuinencss of Smith S revelations was

The truth about the matter appears
TO be that the original Book of Nor
mon was novel written by Solomon

to get it published in Pittsburg, the
manuscript fell INTO the hands of Syd-
ney. Rigdon, a Pittsburg printer, who

associate Of Smith. In the final form
in which it was published as the Book
Of Mormon, it was intelarded with sew

Susquehanna and Great Bend, but he
soon abandoned that place and com

where he professed TO find the plates
from which his Book OF Mormon was
translated. One of the amusing tradi"
tions of Smith S life in Susquehanna
county is to the effect that he early as
sumed the air of prophet and was in
the habit of blessing his neighbors
crops for a consideration. On one oc-
cason a neighbor had a piece of corn
planted rather late, and feeling Httle
doubtful about its ripenlng, employed
Smith to bless it. AS it turned out, that
was the only piece of corn killed by the
frost in that section. When Smith s

corn he said he must have made ms.

blessing it. Smiths personal appear

How Book Was Written.
A part of the building where the
Book of Mormon was prepared forms
the rear of the house now occupied by
Mrs Hawes. The story of the book S
preparation is that Smith hung a
blanket across the room to keep the
sacred records from profane eyes, and
stationed a secretary on the opposite
side of the blanket to whom he pre-
tended TO read the narrative from the
plates which he had unearthed by his,
digging process with the aid of the
stone spectacles Urim and Thummim.
This secretary was Oliver Cowdery. who,
with David Whitmer and Martin Harris,
signed n statement vouching for the
truth of Smith IS revelations
Several years afterwards all three

LOSE SAVINGS OF
YEARS THROUGH
FORMER OFFICIAL
Once Trenton Treasurer, Joseph
r. Encke's Liabilities Double
His Assets.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, June 10.-Friends and
those who confided in the integrity of
former City Treasurer Joseph r. Encke
are the principal sufferers by reason of
his bankruptcy. 1t has been shown
that his liabilities are $45,443.25 and
that his assets, including 5000 exemp-
ton, are $21, 375.
One of the most pitiable features of
the ruin of Encke is that several per-
sons who had entrusted their life's
savings with him are financially Grip
pied. Conspicuous among these are
Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes V. Chaffey, of
Crosswicks, and Mrs. Mary Beismange,
of Trenton. Encke owes the Chaffeys
a total of $12,5 O0.17. OF this amount
$11, 4OO.17 is due Mr.. Chaffey and $1,100
Mrs. Chaffey. Mrs. Beismange's claim
is for So, 700, and is due on a note. The
loss of the Chaffeys represents their
savings for more than twenty years.
Several Trenton banks hold paper
given by Encke, but the institutions
are all secured by indorsers. Linton
Satterthwait is security for So, 725, An
CELLO Camera for 81, 745 and William H.
Brace for $4,000 40.

State Prison and the latter a short
sentence. Joseph Serrotelli was bonds
man for Mary Kelley, who got a five

Mr.. McDermit said today that he was
sure that his clients could be located In
time. so as the balls could be reopened.

EIGHTEEN YEARS HEAD
OF THE INSTITUTION
Venerable President Takes En-
ergetic Interest in Affairs,
Despite IS Years.

Mrs. Catharine Thompson, the vener-
able president of the Baptist Home for
Aged People, at 285 Roseville avenue,
celebrated her eighty-ffth birthday at
her home, in North Ninth street, yes
terday. Colonel Austen Colgate, of
Orange, sent her a gift of roses, one
for each year of her life, and the in
mates of the home each sent her a
birthday card attached to a white rose,
while the attendants gave her an
in which to place the cards.
Later IN the day she took luncheon
at the home with the old people, where
a happy afternoon was spent. A num-
Der of guests were present, and among
those who spoke was the Rev. Thomas
j. Villers, who recited some original
verses dedicated to Mrs. Thompson. A
feature of the luncheon was a large
birthday cake bearing the date of Mrs.
Thompson's birth and the present
year.
Mrs. Thompson has been the presi-
dent of the Baptist Home for the last
eighteen years, and through her eff
forts sufficient money has been raised
to warrant the beginning of work on
LnG DTODOS6u new nOttiC. DSSpllt 1Cl
age she takes a lively interest in the
welfare of the home, and never fails
to attend the meetings of the board.
The verses dedicated to Mrs. Thomp-
son by the Rev. DR.. Villers follow:
Your cup Of joy must brimming be on
this ycur natal day.
For four score years and five have
passed since you were born, they
say.
What transformations you have seen.
what change with progress rife!
A triumph this, the very length of your
eventful life.
Yet length of days Is not the theme
which holds our central thought,
But rather his the golden deeds that
you have daily wrought;
The words of counsel gently giv'n; the
joyous smile and grace
Through which our soul shone into
ours as we beheld your face.
OF all your work the chief is this where
now the aged rest,
Who, pond'ring what age owes to you,
rise up and call you blest.
Your plan in heav'n was born of Him,
the Son of Man, who said,
Though fox and fowl were housed no
place had He to lay His head.
The homeless old have found a home
in your great heart of love.
A mansion in the Fathers house awaits
you soon above;
But, pray you, tarry with us still at
least another year,
Before you step from world to world
and leave us weeping here.
THOMAS j. VILLERS.
