Brotherhood Celebrates.

Invitations which had been sent out
drew number of guests and about one
hundred members of the order to Red
Mems hall Thursday night, who were
pleased with the entertainment furnished
In connection with the S8th anniversary of
Marion Circle, No. 8, Brotherhood Of
America.
The vaudeville talent of eight num-
bers, In which no turkey trot or pudding
wabble appeared, can be classed among the
best and most refined that has ever been
presented in Mount Holly. Each per-
former was an artist of rare ability In his
line. They received merited applause and
recalls from an appreciatiye audience.
Following this feature of the exercises,
John Throckmorton, ST., of Mount Hol-
ly, Past Supreme Washington, was intro
duced and he started the speech making.
Fortunately this feature was not over
done. Mr.. Throckmorton is the father of
the order in this town. Starting off In a
reminiscent mood, he said that about ten
years after the close of the civil war, a
soldier enlisted him In the work of the
Brotherhood. He at once put on his coat
and by hustling secured 70 charter men
bers The circle was Instituted April %,
1874. 1t now has a membership of 140,
and is worth s., 549.19.
George P. Hoffman, of Trenton, Grand
Chief Washington, spoke briefly, refer
ring to the high character of the order
and the principles upon which 1t is
founded. He said that membership In the
order would never be regretted, aud re-
ferred to the fact that its officers were
titled after illustrious men who had
achieved great distinction.
The next pleasant feature was the serv-
ing of creamed oysters, chicken salad,
pickles, potato balls, rolls, coffee and
cigars.
All arrangements for this anniversary
were carried out successfully by the fol
lowing committee: John Throckmorton,
Jr., chairman; William B. Pearson, A E.
Gladfelter, Eugene Engle, Ziegler Law
renee, John A. Walters, E. Bergen Bates
and Raymond Bowker.

Cupid ON the Watch.

Impatience to get about again has un-
covered hidden love affair In the case of
Fred Schumacher, 33 years old, whose pa
rents live in the city of Bonn-on-the- Rhine,
Germany.
The unfortunate man lies on water
bed at the Burlington County Hospital
suffering from a broken back. He was
admitted to the Institution on April 8,
after falling forty feet from the roof of a
building at Pemberton and his life was
despaired of. 1t was subsequently ascer-
tanned that one section of the vertebra
was cracked, causing hemorrhsge but 10
pressure on the spinal cord. The wound
caused paralysis of the lower limbs
In his anxiety to have the nuptial knot
tied, the patient could not refrain from
telling his nurse the conditions which had
been giving him concern.
When seen at the hospital Schumacher
verified the report of his engagement to
Nellie Owens, % years old, of Glouces-
ter, New Castle, England, who resides at
315 Marshall street, Philadelphia, which
is the boarding place of both the pros
pective bride and groom. The young
lady is frequent visitor at the bedside
of her affianced husband, COOK looking
man of splendid physique. Schumacher
is recovering, but he will not be able to
leave the hospital for several weeks yet.
Cheered by the fact that he has recov-
cred from the paralysis which was one
of the serious developments of his injury,
and encouraged by the prospects of an
early return to his home, Schumacher
said:
II have been engaged to Miss Owens
for five months. This accident happened
Just previous to the time set for our mar
rage and it completely upset our plans.
feel thankful, however, that the expect
ed fatal results in my case are not to fol-
low, and that will soon be able to claim
Nellie as my own"

Pure Water Possible.

The Board of Health held meeting or
Thursday evening for the purpose of con
sidering the water supply of the town
B. F. Haywood Shreve had been invited
to represent the Mount Holly Water Com
pany and to explain what is being done
and what might be possibly done in order
that the town may have pure drinking
water without being compelled to boil it,
and that 1t may avoid the yearly outbreak
of typhoid fever that has become the rule
instead of the exception.
Mr.. Shreve said that recent test of the
water showed a decrease of alkilinity,
which was responsible for many of the
imperfections In the water. This trouble
had been remedied, however. by using
soda ash to assist the alum In the precipi-
tation of solids and other impurities. He
believed that the water is now almost
pure. The company felt positive that 1t
would be impossible to get artesian water.
The latter idea was given a rude shock
few moments later Former Senator
George w. Pfeiffer, of Camden, who was
In town, had been invited to attend the
meeting. After Mr. Shreve had been al
lowed to give all his explanations Mr..
Pfeiffer was called In. He said he be-
lieved artesian water could easily be OBJ
tanned and that it would not be necessary
to go far from the location of the water
company's plant. He was of the opinion
that the quantity and quality would be all
that was needed for Mount Holly. There
are two sources of supply, one being
at the depth of 80 feet, the other $50 feet.
So sure was Senator Pfeiffer that he
could do all he was suggesting that he said
he would be willing to sink an eight inch
well here at his own expense, with the
proviso that il he should be successful
and demonstrate that he could meet the
required needs of the town he should be
paid for his labor, otherwise he would not
ask for cent.
This put very different aspect on the
situation, and 1t was such strong propo.
sition that Mr.. Shreve was not able to
make any definite response. Senator
Pfeiffer Is no novice in the matter of dig
ging artesian wells. Camden is to-day
enjoying good water through the efforts
of the Senator, who drove 101 wells for
that city and many at other places, and he
states that In no case has he been unsuc-
cessful. There ought not to be much hes
itancy in putting the matter to test. 1t
will not cost anything If the promised re-
suits do not come forth. and if there is
prospect of getting pure water the matter
of cost should be of secondary importance
with health and life at stake.

Court Decides Against Him.

Possession of a feeble minded Swear old
child was the subject of litigation in Vice
Chancellor Leaming's court, at Camden,
on Tuesday. Mrs. Emma Jane Roberts
and her daughter, Mrs. James Simpkins,
the child's mother, wanted to keep the
child, which has been in their charge.
James Simpkins, Jr., of Medford, the
father, wanted possession of his son.
Vice Chancellor Leaning said that it
had been proven to his satisfaction that 1t
would be best to let the grandmother keep
the infant and care for him with the kindly
solicitude already In evidence. In con-
sequence he awarded the little fellow to
his grandmother and mother.
In the answer filed by the grandmother
1t was shown that Simpkins is 81 years
old; that he was married on February 80,
1908, to Mabel Virginia Roberts in Phila-
delphia, and at the time the complainant
was employed at Downingtown, Pennsyl-
vania. They lived together until June
30, 1908, residing with the wife's mother
On June 80, 1908, Simpkins took his
wife to Medford, where they lived until
July, 1909, when the wife charges that
she was compelled to leave on account of
her husbands abuse and fondness for
drink.
The child was born on February 90,
1907. In October, 1909, the answering
affidavit states Smpkins begged his wife
to take him back and they did live together
at 1877 Spruce street, Philadelphia, from
that time until March, 1910, when 1t was
alleged that it was found Simpkins had
on October, 10, 1908. married Mabel Vir-
ginia Wilkins, at Pemberton, This mar
riage was never annulled.
The affidavit further stated that the
child was mentally deficient as result of
his fathers evil habits and as a conse-
Quence he will always require great care
and attention such as the father could not
give.
When the vice chancellor told the
grandmother the child was placed in her
care she broke into tears and led the boy
from the room.
