Horace B. Stoughten, of Riverside, ha
been given position as page in the HOUSE

Frank J. Feussner has been appointed

James E. Otis was reelected director Of

Florence township has a novelty. The
township clerk, Charles Green, refused q

sufficiently for the work he has to do.
The recent contest over the Office Of
county collector and county engineer has
left bad taste in the mouths of several
persons and epithets not entirely lovely
have been bestowed in private at least,
upon those who are charged with treachery,
lying and possibly stealing.
The much advertised rumors about the
building of the Wallace Mill bridge were
taken before the grand jury yesterday and
numerous witnesses were called. After a
thorough investigation the jury came to

subject was dismissed. This is taken by
the Board of Freeholders as vindication,
but it cost Earl Thomson his job as county
engineer.

Commencing next Monday matinee, the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre will present another of George
nj. Cohan'S musical successes in $50 Miles
from Boston,
George M. Cohan is unquestionably the
theatrical prodigy of his time. There is
no man in the dramatic field to-day who
has the versatility and capacity for work
that he has, and few have been so univer-
sally successful. Mr.. Cohan not only
writes his own plays, both words and
music, but plays the leading part, and is
manager and producer as well and owns
theatres in which to play his productions.
The rapidity with which he turns out
plays is amazing $50 Miles From Bos-
tom was written while he was starring in
another of his successes. The story OF
this lively musical play is bit of life in q

soon learns that during his absence rival

The Farm Train.


Continuing its winter work In the inter-
est of better farming. the Pennsylvania
Railroad, cooperating with the New Jer-
sey State Board of Agriculture and the
State Agriculture College, has perfected
all details in connection with the fourth
annual farmers educational train, to be
operated through the state, with a view
to making this years trip even more sue
cessful than previous ones.
So great has been the interest shown in
former years that the railroad company
and the state agricultural authorities have
decided to devote an entire week to the
work, covering all of the lines of the
Pennsylvania In New Jersey.
The special train, consisting of three
coaches an exhibit car and retiring car
for the lecturers, left Camden at eight
O'Clock yesterday morning. During the
week thirty New Jersey towns will be
visited, and from 100 to 1875 lectures will
be given. To morrow the train arrives at
MasonviIle, 1856 A. NJ, Medford, 1890
Vincentown 1920 P. NJ, Jobstown $50,
and Bordentown 40.
A unique feature of the train is the
exhibit car. The state authorities say
that the principles of intensive farming
can be better brought out by showing the
farmers exactly what has been done at
the New Brunswick experiment station.
The car will contain apples and pears,
with some showing system of packing,
packed for shipment, corn, alfalfa, poul-
try and poultry feed, nests, eggs packed
for shipment and printed charts showing
results obtained at the experiment station.
The subjects which will be given con-
sideration during the week will be the
growing of sweet and white potatoes, soil
fertility, fruits and vegetables, dairying,
alfalfa, corn, poultry, and the general
subject of truck crops.

An Interesting Letter.
Washington, D. c., January 4, 1911

Washington, D. c., January 4, 1919
Editor THE NEWS:
1t was my privilege on New Years day
to attend the reception given at the White
House to the President and Mrs. Taft,
who threw open the doors of the Executive
Mansion to the official hosts In the Capt.
tol, and to all citizens of whatever race or
color might come This New Year re
ception was probably the greatest in the
history of the government. There are
other receptions during the winter for the
officials and the society people, of Wash
ington, but this is the one day when the
plain citizen has his inning.
AS early as ten o'clock in the morning,
the people began to gather about the north
gate to watch the gorgeous diplomats, and
the gold laced army and navy officers as
they entered, followed by the cabinet, the
judicial bodies department officials, civic
and patriotic organizations Then came
the turn of the plain people, citizens whose
long line had been forming on the outside
for two hours passed into the White
House, single file, after entering the door
of the east room, on through the blue
room into the red, at the rear of which
the President stood, passing through the
state dining room, out through the eastern
entrance. The entire marine band dis
coursed grand music in the main hall
during the entire reception.
The fair sex adorned the blue room
with their many charming gowns. Mrs.
Taft was becomingly attired in an Ameri
can beauty suit of satin. She was sur
rounded by the wives of the several diplo-
mats in their various colored gowns, with
pearls and diamonds in large numbers.
In the blue room we also noticed ex-
Senator Kean by special invitation of
President Taft
Just s, 092 handshakes came the Presi-
dents way, according to the secret service
man, with the bell punch who stood at
his elbow.
Not siugle hitch marred the reception
which began at eleven o'clock a. m and
lasted until ten minutes past two, p. m.
The President seemed convinced that
5000 handshakes for one afternoon was
quite sufficient, and he apparently was
glad when one Of the ushers told him that
the end of the line was In sight.
The President evidently does not have
ex-Presdent Roosevelt's faculty of get
ting there first In a handshake with the
strongest grip, which public men say is
the keystone secret in the art of handshak-
ing.
President Taft seemed the happiest
mortal in the great crowd, with smile and
a cheerful word for everybody. Mrs Taft
saved herself in every way possible, loccas-
ionally sitting down TO rest, and leaving
her daughter, Miss Helen, to represent her
in the receiving line.
The formal reception being at an end,
the official party behind the line retired to
the red room where buffet luncheon was
served, and where for the rest of the after
noon everybody had the best sort of a
| time.
The society people had numerous re-
ceptions. The several theatres had matt
| nees and were crowded to OVERLOOKING.
Pennsylvania avenue and other streets
were filed with people.

Cheats Death.

The case of Charles Hollis. the 40 year
old farm hand who was shot three times
in the back on December 10, at Moores-
town, is beginning to excite the wonder
ment of surgeons in Camden and Phila-
delphia.
Two of the three bullets which entered
Hollis back lodged in his groin. Expert
surgeons succeeded in extracting two of
the balls, but had then no hopes of the
patient recovery, as one of the leaden
missiles still remains in his abdomen.
Hollis, however, is brayelysfghting off
death. and the doctors are amazed at his
great vitality. Not only has he recovered
to such an extent that he is up and about,
but is said to be one of the liveliest and
cheeriest patients in the ward and 1t looks
as If he will be able to leave the hospital
In short time.
Four years ago Hollis was stricken with
typhoid-pneumonia sinking so low that
his physicians gave him up, but he rallied
and recovered to the mystifcation of the
doctors.

times without succeeding in striking vital
spot. Each thrust was too high to reach
his heart. Thomas was removed from
