Entire Family Drowned.

An entire family, consisting of Will
liam Eidleman. aged thirty-eight; his
wife Elizabeth. aged thirty-seven, and
their two children, Anna, aged seven
teen, and William, aged seven, of West
Pensauken, N. j., were drowned in
Pensauken creek, below Riverton, N.
j.. by the capsizing of a small row
boat.
The family were taking an outing
largely as a means of celebrating the
fact that they had just cleared off the
mortgage on a home which they had
purchased While rowing down Pen
sauken creek, which empties into the
Delaware river near Riverton, their
little craft was caught in the swift
and carried against a scow
moored in the stream The boat was
overturned and all the occupants were
thrown into the water. Eidleman was
seen swimming in the swift current
with his son, but spectators did not
realize there was an accident until |
Sidleman shouted for help. Before as
iistance reached him he sank with |
lis son.

The optimist Club.

From 100 pulpits of all denominations
the sound doctrine of religious opti
mism was preached throughout North
Jersey. The sunny philosophy of see
ing the best in everything and making
the best of everything in the financial
business and social world was ex-
pounded by eminent divines. Optimist
Sunday in North Jersey was part of
the general scheme of the recently in
corporated Optimistic Club of New
Jersey. organized to combat pessimism
and encourage and recreate prosperity
in the city, the state and nation.
The first motto of the club is
Smile" and its pledge is as follows:
Il hereby pledge myself to do all in
my power to better existing business
and financial conditions; to smile and
make others smile. and by so doing to
not only see the best in everything.
but to make the best of everything

Of death was heart failure. He was

A Real War TEST.

The biggest naval gun. the heaviest
pTojectile and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range and
deadly aim, were allowed to work their
full havoc on the turret plate of the
monitor Florida. The result is declar
ed to be victory for turret construc
ton, this notwithstanding the 11-incb
hardened steel plate was blackened
broken, the seams of the turret sprung
and the rivets and screws loosenei
and twisted.
It was not five minutes after the
terrible impact that the finely bal
Raced mechanism of the turret was
being worked with perfect ease, and
the Pinch gun on the left side was
trained at will.
Inside the turret, where stand the
gunners and the gun crew, the havoc |
was much less apparent than from
the outside. Examination showed that |
of the many delicately adjusted in |
struments for the control, sighting and |
operating of the turret, few, if any
were out of working order
IF this had happened in battle the
Florida would have been fighting yet,
said one Of the rear admirals with en-
thusiasm.
Then followed a futile attempt to
destroy the newly designed fighting
mast erected on the stern of the Flor
ida. After five shots from the Arkan,
Gas had gone ripping through it. the
mast still stood firm. It was predicted
that all new ships will be equipped
with battle masts of this design.
The story of the Shooting up" of
the Florida by the Arkansas, however,
is not contained in this technical
statement of results. Every naval bu.
reau was represented, likewise the
ordnance and artillery of the army.
The scene of the real war demon.
stration was Hampton roads. already
made famous by naval events.

Leaps of Train to Track; Saves Chile

Leaps vi ram TO iTdCNT caves OUllu
Wilkes-Barre. Pa, June 3.-Conduc-
tor James Dunlap, of the Ontario &
Western railroad. leaped to the track
from the rapidly moving locomotive Of
his train at Carbonate and scOOped
up twO-year-old Frances Walker. who
stood terrified in front of the train,
and bounded to one side with the child
just as the cowcatcher of the engine
grazed his heels. It was a daring res
cue and was witnessed by a score of
persons. Dunlap. who was on the run
ming board of the locomotive, leaped to
the pilot. sprang far ahead as the To-
connective almost reached the child and
with the same movement picked her
up. Another second or a slip and he
would have been under the wheels of
the locomotive.
