Chosen Town Representative by Ma
Jority on the Fifth Ballot Yesterday
Afternoon.
Since Tuesday morning, this week has
been largely devoted by our citizens TO
a 'protracted" freemen's meeting. The
meeting was called to order Tuesday
morning by Constable w. S. Severance,
and proceeded at once to vote upon the
several tickets by the usual Australian
ballot system. At 3 O'Clock the Repre-
sentative vote was canvassed, and II
was found that there was no election,
and the meeting at once proceeded 10
another ballot At. o'clock the boxes
were turned for the state, county and
justice tickets and 1t took until about
8 o'clock to count the ballots. The re-
suit was surprize, even to the mem
bers of the Progressive party them
selves, in the fact that Rockingham had
given to the Progressive ticket larger
number of votes than the Republican,
the vote for Mr. Fletcher being $40,
while that for Mr.. Metzger was 1874.
Early in the week the Progressive
party hung out "a large banner on the
third story of the Corner Drug Store
building, stating the hall to be the Pro-
gressive headquarters, and the members
of the party have been active during
the week.
The second ballot for town represent
alive was counted at p. m. Tuesday.
and also resulted in no election, and it
was voted that a third ballot remain
open until / p. m, Wednesday. At that
time the result of the ballot was the
same as before. and 1t was voted that
the fourth ballot remain open until s
p. m. when again there was no choice,
and 1t was decided to hold the fifth
ballot until ! p. m. yesterday, Between
900 and 1000 votes were cast at each
ballot The result OF the fifth ballot was
as follows: Total vote cast $50; neces-
sary for choice, 49l; H. ID. Ryder. Re-
publican, 491; DR.. NJ. L. Miner, Pro-
gresive, S97 S. ]. Cray, Democrat, 81;

Rev. Thomas w. Owens Greeted by
Large Congregation In Methodist
Church-Outllne of Sermon.

Large Congregation In Methodist
church--Outlne Of Sermon.
A large congregation of the Methodist
church welcomed their new pastor,
Rev. Thomas w. owens, Sunday morn
ing. The text of the morning sermon
was from / Cor. 8: 22-23 Paul enumer-
ates the possessions inherited by be-
lever in Christ. Hearing of divisions
in the church as to the ministry, Paul
explains that the ministry belongs to
them as a whole The Spirit separated
men and women that they might belong
to the church as their servants The
world has reason to be thankful for
faithful ministry of men and women which
has opened kingdoms and empires from
its inception to the present time From
St Boniface and st. Winifred, who en-
tered Germany and England, to the
present company of men and women, God
has been pleased to work through them
and to make the way for civilization and
the entrance of commerce. The present
pastor wants his people to feel that he
belongs to them. The world, Paul
says, belongs to the Christian, in the
sense that God is the creator. He has
created all things for our enjoyment
Every tint on the autumn foliage Is
placed there for our enjoyment. Earth
" fathers plan and do things for the
comfort and enjoyment of their chill
dren, so to a greater extent our Heaven
ly Father plans.
Life is one of the gifts; life in its
fullness that only God can give; a life
that Christ speaks of, II came that We
might have life," an endless life. Death
also is ours AS the Master has con-
ouered death, so it has become the SER
want Of the Christian, ushering into
Gods presence those whom He loves.
To a Christian, death has lost its sting
Things present are ours. They were
too wonderful to enumerate so he put
them together as the psalmist, surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life" The presence OF
Christ in our life, the joy of being
co-worker with God, the help of the
Holy Spirit in our life, are some of the
many things present. The glories still
to be revealed to man, the freedom Of a
perfect life, the seeing of Christ face to
face are Of the things to come. These
possessions are only realized as one ac-
knowledges the Lordshp of Christ over
his life I'VE are CHRIST ana ohrlst 10

minister of Arlington, N. j., introduced
the pastor to his people. He spoke OF

Brown and Smith moved today, Brown
into Smiths discarded fiat and Smith into
Browns.
Said Browns former landlord, Mr..
Tackses, to his new tenant, Smith
Those Brown people were absolutely the
worst that ever rented house. Just look
at this great long finger-mark that theF
let their baby make on my nice whit
wall paper. People who do things like
that to a mans property ought to be
hauled into court, that's what / say"
1T is outrageous how they treated you
replied Smith. They must have been
heather, indeed, to treat a kind landlord
like you so shamefully. You will never
have any such complaint to make of me-
I promise YOU.
About the same time Smiths late land
lord, Repares, was saying to his new
tenant Mr.. Brown: Thank the Lord I've
got rid of those Smiths at last. They
were positively the worst ever. What do
you think they did to me? Just put your
mind to work and try to imagine the low
down trick they played me. They crack
ed a stove lid on the nice new range that
I bought in 1893. only nineteen years ago.
and here they've gone off and left me to
paw for new ONE.
What a pity sympathized Brown.
Some people don't know how to appre-
ciate kindness, do they? But you'll never
have cause TO say that Of me. Mr.. Re
mares: / believe in keeping up the place
I rent the same as il Ii was my own
home. I can't understand how people can
deliberately destroy another mans prop
erty. / really can't"

Trout of the Thames.
From the Pail Mall Gazette,

ctoul the MAIL 1dLeIte
Week-enders who went up the river for
the week end saw the Thames trout fish
ers at work They practice chiefly in the
running water at the weirs, at nearly all
Of which there are many fine fish. These
anglers are among the most patient
members of their craft, as may be gath
cred from the fact that despite the large
number of fishers 1t has been estimated
by authorities that the number of trout
taken each year between Teddington and
Oxford is about one fish to each mile of
the water. Still, the average weight is
high-something like three and a half
pounds-and fish of seven pounds and as
heavy as ten pounds are not unknown.
Thames trouting is to a great extent a
lottery, but the big majority of the fish
fall to the spinning rods of the experts.
Big Thames trout are never eaten.
though doubtless edible. Casts are made
of them for the halls of anglers
homes or anglers clubs. They are spec
linen" fish, and as such have their glass
case reward.
The story is told of an inexperienced
Thames angler who went for day s
trout fishing at Shepperton and was lucky
enough to kill two heavy trout in the one
day, his first on the river So elated was
he by his success that he forthwith took
a house there, renting 1t for three years.
Each angling day during the summers OF
these years he was at the waterside busy
with the spinner. He never killed or even
hooked another fish!

Ancient Philadelphia.
ON the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadeiphla Press
The changes in neighborhoods, wrought
by the exigencies of business, are exem-
plified by the sale of the old Cadwalader
mansion on 4th street below Locust last
week This property and that adjoining,
at the southwest corner of 4th and Locust
streets, have been bought by the Mutual
Assurance Company. which sold its prop
erty, 500 Walnut street, recently to the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company.
The famous old mansion. which had
been the home of the head of the Cad
walader family for generations. dating
back to revolutionary times. until the
comparatively recent death OF DIR.
Charles Cadwalader wiz be altered by
the purchaser for office purposes Thus a
residential neighborhood which once was
the favored quarter among the leading
families of the city is rapidly losing It's
identity. Much is gained for the neigh
borhood, however, by the coming OF stable
concerns which will fix real estate values.
With the conspicuous exception of ).
Davis Page, who still lives In the old
Page mansion at PSI South 4th street,
and perhaps a few others. the old-tina
mansions I'm the same neighborhood
passed into other hands. and are mainiy
devoted to business uses. The social
historian and people with sentimental
memories will recall the splendid asscci-
atoms of this part of the city in olden
days. The real estate men are most in
terested in knowing that the movement
of business places to 4th street below
Locust has a settling influence on ground
values In the locality.

"Expressionism."
Springfield Republican.


New art movements follow on each 9TH
er's heels SO rapidly just now that there
is hardly time to be converted to one
faith before another claims the allegiance
of the progressive. 1t is not hard to re-
member when impressionism was a
rather novel and daring thing. associated
in the public mind with spotty pictures
which looked more like something the
further one got away from them. But
the fmpreSsionists were still explaining
what impressionism was, when there
came along Matisse and post-impreSSion-
ism, and impressionism was at once .'old
hat" And now we come to Il O'Clock
and expressionism, term which in some
quarters excites as much awe as though
the art of expression had been just in
vented.
In a way it is one aspect OF futurism,
that magnificently vague twentieth CEN
fury movement which had its start, or at
any rate started fastest and went
furthest, among the sacrilegious young
Italians who would fill up the canals of
Venice, turn the old Gothic palaces into
factories and destroy all the museums
that enslave the present to the culture of
the past. Italy contributed the term ex-
preSsionism, too, through the great stress
put upon expression by the radical Italian
esthetician, Benedetto Croce, whose
theories have made more stir than any
critical work since Leasing. In a gen.
eral way the movement represents a re-
volt both from slavery to technic and
from scientific passivity of attitude. 1t
rejects the conception OF the artist as a
mere recorder of what he sees or even as
faintest Impressions 1t would make
snap shots at nature as obsolete as care
fully constructed compositions after the
academic formulas.
