Deacon ]. Vroom Roscoe OF the North
Hackensack Reformed Church has won
a final and complete victory over that
certain element of his fellow-worship-
pers who sought to Dust him from his
church Office and bade him put on his
skees and speed hence from the town
OF North Hackensack.
After a lengthy. solemn hearing that
continued past midnight a board OF
arbitration composed OF four clergy
men OF the Reformed Church returned
y verdict to-day in favor OF Deacon
Roscoe. The board of arbitration,
which was really the Bergen County
Chassis OF the church. found that Dea.
con Roscoe's indulgence in pinochle at
five cents a point was not a sable blot
upon his soul. nor did 1t partake OF
the natur of infamy to Justify his ex-
pulsion from the church or from the

Nevertheless he said. II have had

The appeal that fine flow Of oratory

amnsingly exemplified one night at a

Philadelphia paper. A noted speaker
was appealing to a gathering to give
funds toward the work of cleaning the
slums, making life healthy and happy
for the poor and other utopian schemes
Of men and women whose hearts throb
with longing to help their Kind.
. For half an hour he drew pictures
of the cGnditions; then with expressive
gestures and his voice throbbing with
enthusiasm he poured out flow Of
rhetoric.

audience shouted and cheered. and the

talks with some of the girls he has
wanted to marry. and at other times
he talks with himself and then the
dialogue is always very melancholy.
'Chislam Borrow is very much to
