The weekly meetings of the Milford
New Century Club will be resumed on
Monday. October 7th, at 3. 30 in the club
room. The first meeting of the year is
always interesting, and this one prom
ises to be unusually attractive. At an
executive meeting held last Monday at
the residence of the president, Mrs. j..
Lynn Pratt, several interesting topics
were discussed which will be brought
before the members by the different
chairmen. Every chairman is requested
to he in readiness to give a short outline
of her plans for the year when her name
is called next Monday. The calendars
are ready for distribution and it is hoped
that every member will be present to
receive one, thus making the extra work
of mailing unnecessary. Several appli-
cations for membership have been pre-
sented even at this early date and the
coming year bids fair to be one of the
most prosperous in the history of the
club.

FELLOWSHIP BIBLE CLASS SOCIAL.

The Fellowship" Bible Glass, of
which Mrs Charles W. Reid is president
and Dr. Reid is teacher, held their first
social of the year at the home of Mrs.
Frank Jones, in the country. After
holding the usual devotional exercises.
consisting of music. short prayers and
repeating the notes in concert the social
hour began. Several games were played
causing much fun and laughter At the
close of the games the class song was
sung. They were then invited out to
the large dining room where three tables
were set and beautifully decorated with
flowers and ivy, at which all were bOun-
tifully served with ice cream, cake and
coffee by the refreshment committee.
Conundrums and answers We're at each
place and read before retiring from the
table, provoking much merriment. The
one thing to be regretted was the non
attendance of the gentlemen members
of the class, the doctor being the only
man, had his hands full to look after so
many ladies'. Near eleven O'Clock all
bade their host and hostess good night
and took a moonlight walk back into
town, having spent another delightful
and happy social evening with the Eel
lowship" Glass. The invitation is hereby
extended to any lady or gentleman who
is not connected with any bible class or
Sunday School to Join the Fellowship
Class. Come, and we will do you good.

MOVING PICTURE SHOW
FIRE CAUSED A PANIC

During the exhibition of the moving
pictures, which was being given at the
Bethel A. NJ. F., Church, on West
Fourth Street, North Milford, on Mon
day evening, the electric wires became
crossed setting fire to the church vesti-
bule. As soon as the fire was discover
ed by the large crowed present they be
came panic stricken and made wild
rush for the front doors where the fire
was raging. and completely tore the
doors down in a frantic effort to escape
from the building. After the doors had
been torn down they qickly saw that
the flames in the vestibule were too
strong for escape by that exit, and they
proceeded to break and knock out tbs
windows and thus make their escape,
which they soon accomplished. In their
effort to get out they not only battered
the doors down and broke out the win
dows but demolished nearly all of the
opera chairs in the building. The loss
is probably from 5000 to $500. The
moving picture machine was saved with
out much damage. Just as soon as the
escape was made by several. the alarm
OF fire was given, but the flames were
before the fire company
arrived. There were several persons
who received badly lacerated hands and
faces in the skirmish and some other
wise hurt, but none of them suffered
serious injuries. The property was in
sured.
