Coopertown Celebrates.


The one-hundred and sixth anniversary
of the founding of the old Coopertown
church was celebrated on Tuesday. This
custom has been followed for years, in
fact, it is so ordered by the laws of the
church.
On the 9th of April, each year, the board
of directors of the church formally meet
in the old structure and transact business
and minor matters relevant to maintaining
the old building and its board of directors.
On this occasion townpeople and visitors
from surrounding localities congregate
and add festivities to the routine OF the
law.
The church is located about mile from
Beverly and can be reached only by driv
ing or walking. Yet scores OF people
Journey each year to the old church and
Indulge in such celebrations as BELTS the
place of worship of some of our nation
founders.
The settlement known as Coopertown
was founded in 1881, by Thomas Give.
But no name was given to it until fifty
wears later when the Cooper family moved
there. The old Cooper homestead still
stands opposite the church. Among the
early townfolks was William Franklin,
SON of Benjamin Franklin. His home was
turned over to his son in 1776, when he
sailed for England, later it was used as a
boarding school and now is the home OF
Richard Buzby. During Washington
advance on Trenton he stopped in Cooper
town over night.
The church is maintained by festival
held at the close of harvest each year
Various articles contributed are sold on
the old church ground. The proceeds are
turned over to the board of directors, who
order what repairs are needed for the
building and surroundings.

Change in Date.

The date for the examination of can.
didates for teachers certificates in this
county, as well as the time set for the
annual meeting of the Burlington County
Teachers Association have been changed
owing to other dates conflicting.
Arbor day falls on Friday, May Z. This
was the time for the examination for
teachers certificates. AS it is compulsory
to hold certain exercises in the schools on
that day it was necessary for teachers to
be present, so the examination was put
over for week. In letter addressed to
the heads of schools, the County Super
intendent asks that teachers prepare exer-
cises which will tend to intensity the
interest of children in birds as well as in
trees, and which will serve to promote
greater pride in school environment.
Examination of teachers for county
certificates will be held on Friday and
Saturday, May IA and Is, in the Captain
James Lawrence school, Burlington.
The annual meeting of the Burlington
County Teachers Association, which was
fixed for Saturday. May 10, has been
postponed until Saturday, May %, and
will be held in Moorestown as originally
intended.

mercury being down to 90 degrees. The
Saturday night frost blighted flowers that
were placed in the various cemeteries that
day, aud those set out on graves on Sun
day retained their beauty for the day

conditions were severe enough to damage
fruit trees, some of which are now in
bloom.

noticed that the floor of one of the cars
was In flames and rushed from his office

who telegraphed to Masonville. where II
was found impossible to extinguish the
flames and the passengers were trans
ferred to another car, and then full speed
was put on and record run made tc

burned the car so badly that the floor fell
through. The railroad men here had been
notified and the flames were extinguished

look the request for q stone road from
Burlington to Bordentown.
The next thing on the programme was
to touch the match to. the fireworks which
had been stored up until this time. A
resolution was introduced, the whereas
of which showed that 26s miles Of road

Tue Wetheril1 Store.

The formal opening of WetherilPs re-
modelled dry goods store took place on
Thursday. The word remodeled is scarce
ly appropriate to describe the place, for it
is in reality new and very much up to
date store. There is practically nothing
left of the old store. All the shelves and
counters have been replaced with hand
some new ones, a new floor has been laid,
and the wholesale establishment newly
papered.
The entire front of the building was
torn down and rebuilt in modern style.
The stairway, which formerly was entered
from the outside of the building, has been
placed inside The second floor was
turned into one room, making light
and airy salesroom.
The show windows are remarkable for
their beauty and arrangement They are
large, well lighted, and handsomely fur
nished. The floor of the entrance Is coy
cred with thing of neat design.
Above the show windows is a row OF
of sash containing the latest style of prism
glass, which is system of lenses arranged
to reflect light to the interior of the
store.
All the woodwork is antique oak, nicely
finished The floor is maple.
On the rear end of the store small
brick building was erected to be used as
an Office for the proprietor.
Entirely new lighting fixtures have been
placed in the building, fitted with modern
lights and reflectors. The store is as
bright at night as it is in the daytime. The
lighting of the show windows is particu-
larly fine on account of the Drilliance and
even distribution of light.
The store was crowded with shoppers
all day Thursday. Each person was pre-.
scented with carnation as a souvenir of
the opening, until little after four o'clock.
when the supply of flowers ran out. Mr.
Wetherill had secured 500 carnations,
supposing that would be sufficient, but the
crowd was larger than had been antici-
pated.
A fine line of the latest styles of dry
goods was found on the shelves and count
ers. and those who know say the display
was most excellent and offered at less than
city prices.
Mr.. Wetherill is to be congratulated
upon the great improvements he has just
completed He unquestionablY has the
finest dry goods store in the county, and
deserves the increased success in his bust
ness that will doubtless follow the steps
he has Just taken to serve the public
better than ever

Health as Primary Factor In InteIli
gent Living.
Health and success are so largely
dependent upon balance, upon SYM
metrJ of development, physical and
mental harmony, that we should do
everything possible to secure that
physical poise which also means men
tai and moral poise. A large part of
our ills come from one sided develop
ment, caused by overstimulating some
tissue cells and starving others-over-
feeding and underfeeding. Scientific
feeding, therefore. is of vast impor-
tance.
Overoating and improper eating are
among the curses of the world. Think
of the people who put all sorts of in
compatibles into their stomachs at the
same time and then use all sorts OF
nostrums to get rid of their bad eff
fects.
One of the most pathetic sights in
the world is that of a human being
struggling hard to carry out his am
bition, yet handicapping himself by
his ignorance of physical laws.
What pathetic figure Carlyle cut
in the world-a one sided giant who
might have been symmetrical power,
possessor of a colossal brain largely
controlled by dyspeptic stomach! He
was cross and grabbed and did just
the things that he did not want to do,
things that he knew it would be bet
ter not to do, but he was the victim
of starved nerves, of exhausted brain
cells largely for want of common sense
feeling. Orison SWEET NIarden in Sue

A Dramatic Incident In The Career Of
General de GaIifet. 81. s.#.
1t was Oh that fatal day, Sept. 1.
1870, that General de Gallifet distin-
guished himself by commanding the
cavalry charges intended to clear the
elevation ut lily. with the view Of
opening Il passage toward Floing
where II was hoped the army might re-
treat. The first charge overthrew the
Eighty-thiId regiment of the Prussians
and penetrated among the German
troops. but the latter formed again
rapidly after the retirement of the
French cavalry.
General Ducrot then asked If they
could renew the charge with what re-
manned of the light cavalry and hus-
sars, and then Gallifet answered in
the words that have become historic.
"As often us you wish. general. as
long as man remainsv' The second
charge was not so successful as the
first. Only few men, with their gen
eral at their head, succeeded in pene-
trating the first ranks Of the enemy.
1t is known that the king of Prussia.
who was watching the battle from the
top of the hill of Marfee, exclaimed
with admiration, "Oh, les braves gens!"
Just at this moment an astonishing
event occurred in the midst of the bat
tie. AS Gallifet was returning with
a few survivors. their horses for the
most part wounded or foundered, he
passed before the Nassau regiment.
The Prussian officers ordered their
men to cease fire and even struck up
some of their guns. The French sa.
luted and shouted, "Vive Iempereurr'
and the German officers acknowledged
the salute, some of them applauding.-
