TOWNSHEND.
Annual Meeting Of Dorcas Guild
Something Of It's History.

Having married several couples during
the year, ON Oct. II, 1897, the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Hardy, invited their newly
welded people as guests for the evening.
Then and there a society was formed Tor
aid OF the church. Later, Feb. ~, W,
this society was given the name OF the
Dorcas guild. Mrs, q. II. Willard was its
first president. The many ways in which
the society has proved il had mission
is manifest in its helpfulness TO church
and society. Among its varied aids has
been putting in the pulpit set, the church
lamp, the chandelier, helping toward thu,
expense Of furnace, repairs on church ana
parsonage, paying for pumping church or
gan, and many minor expenses. Money
Tor these purposes has been earned by sup
pers, food sales. entertainments, etc. Jan
nary 1905. a vote was taken TO assume 4
church debt which had accumulated and
in return the sum OF 500, a bequest TO
the church. was secured by the guild,
making with sums earned from time 70
time the goodly amount OF 500 at the
present time. In March, 1902, a vote was
taken to build an addition TO the chapel
and enthusiastic efforts were put forth
10 this end under the leadership OF Mrs.
George Baker. In 1906 little was done
and the last year $40 has been paid to
helm cancel the barn debt, SIS for silver
for guild use and several smaller expenses
met so the chapel fund has made little
increase.

Washington Physician Thus Brings
 Boy Back to Life,


 Washington. Aug. 20-News of one of the most remarkable operations ever performed in the United States, which took place at Emergency hospital when one of the surgeons of that insti. tuition succeeded by heroic measures in bringing back to life a twelve-year old boy, James Wilkins, of Hyattsville, Md. who had died" suddenly while undergoing an operation, has just been made public.
 The boy was under the influence of chloroform. and the surgeon was oper- ating on an infected knee when respira- tion suddenly ceased, The pulse finally stopped, the body became cold and the limbs rigid. Artificial respiration was resorted to, but there was no respond, ing pulsation of the heart. After six minutes of suspense. during which the physician resorted to every possible method to revive the patient. the doe tor realized that there was only one chance to save the boys life.
 With delicate skill the boys ahdo. men was opened, and for seven min, utes the doctor massaged the patients heart with his fingers. Finally when he was about to give up all hope the boy took faint voluntary breath. and for several minutes the heart pulsated gently. Plying the heart with his fin gers to stimulate circulation of the blood. the physician after eighteen minutes had the heart pulsating nor mally and knew that he had succeeded in his almost miraculous operation.

HELD IN JERSEY ON PIRACY CHARGE,
Smugg|ers MuttIe Engine of
 "Gray Ghost" Launch.

New York. Aug. 20.-Michaei BGnzei- man. son of the alleged head of the tobacco smngglers who make a spe- cialty of sneaking Sumatra leaf ashore from the Dutch freight liners that tie up at Constable Hook. N. T., and Ho- boken. is locked up in the Essex coun- ty jail at Newark. x. J., awaiting a hearing before United States Commis- sioner Russ. Special Treasury Agents York and Wilson are on the trail of the elder Bunzelman and expect. they say, to arrest him at once, together with other so called river pirates"
 The Bunzelman gang is said to have conducted its operations with yawl rigged auxiliary boat. She was painted a dull gray, so as to slip away in the night unobserved. and bore no name. No lights, whistle, bell or foghorn was found aboard her when the treasury agents boarded her in Hoboken slip after they had recognized Bunzelman as he bent over the engine.
 Thousands of dollars worth of to. bacco has been, it is believed, snug. gled into the country by the band which has clearing house in South Brooklyn.
 The secret service men first got a line on the gang June s when they found a large consignment of Sumatra leaf all ready for the alleged snug, glers on the end of pier in South Brooklyn.
 The launch. however. managed to slip away like a gray ghost with hei mutiied engines.

 The Hague. Aug 20.-The feeling in official circles here is that the contro- versy with Venezuela will lead to the Issuing of an ultimatum to President Castro and that war is probable re- suit
 All Holland is aroused over the az gressiveness of the South American president whose penchant for interna- tional squabbles is apparently becom- ing even more pronounced than ill the past.
 Work will be rushed night and day at the naval dockyards on the war ships there. so that they will be in readiness to re-enforce the vessels now in the Caribbean by the end of next month.
 Queen Wilhelmina is determined that her country's honor shall not be cloud ed by any action of Venezuela, ai- though she wants every peaceful mode of settlement tried before force of arms is resorted to. ..s .-
 Cabinet Waits For Dc Reus.
 The Netherlands cabinet has decided to await the arrival here of M. de Reus. the minister who was expelled by President Castro, before coming to a definite decision. and it will not take the offensive unless compelled to do so.
 In tine event of warlike measures it is understood that there will first be a naval demonstration off La Guayra. Subsequent action will depend upon the result of this course.
 After a nine hour session at which the dispute between the Netherlands and Venezuela was canvassed exhaus. lively in all it's phases the cabinet dis. persed, and the minister of foreign affairs, J. F. D. NJ. Van Swinderen went to the royal chateau at Het LOG to acquaint Queen Wilhelmina with the result of the council.
 It is maintained here that the pres ent question is one of sovereignty and national honor, matters which are no; 1 susceptible of solution by arbitration.
