When He Decided to Cross the Delaware and Who for
Half Century Was the citys Mentor.

| relaxation. Social life was disturbed
and disordered. The very depth of
the despair which had filled the
hearts of the people of Newark wnen
the British occupied the city had
given place to utter decentralization
when the peril was removed. Vice
and dissipation were rampant. At
this juncture a stranger preached in
DR.. MacWhorters pulpit. AS Dr.
Stearns says, there were no pews in
the old church, but the people sat on
long benches, the men on one sloe
and the women on the other. In the
gallery were ranged young people,
also divided according to sex.
In the course of the sermon the
preacher, pausing suddenly and gaz-
ing on the girls in the gallery es-
pecially, dramatically recounted
what he had heard of their wanton
behavior and shouted, "Will you go
dancing to hell!" From that moment
through the preaching of DR.. Mac
Whorter mighty revival started.
A Mournful Episode.
There is one touching incident in
the life of this sturdy incumbent
that must appeal to every man who
revisits the home OF his childhood
late in life only to find that he is
stranger, an alien. 1t is like bury
ing a relative in ones birthplace and
finding not one mourner to join in
the sad procession, where once ones
forebears had been among those
most highly regarded in the COM
| munity.
DR.. MacWhorter was born in Della
| ware and toward the end of his life
| he decided to return for a season
to the home where he first saw the
light. When he arrived at the spot
| he could not recognize it. Every
thing was changed Men whom he
| did not know guided him to the
place where his boyhood home once
stood. There was nothing of it left
but cellar, half filled with the I'M
slightly debris of a village.
None knew him, none recognized
| him and only one tottering, aged
| man had any recollection of his
family.
| "He requested only to be supplied
says DIR. Stearns, with a draught
of water from the spring where he
used to Stake his boyish thirst. that
he might say, 4 have tasted that
spring again' And, this desire full
| filed, he hastily turned and left the
scene forever"

Literary Notes.

Longmans Gondon and New York;
have just published an introduction
to the study of Indian music. The
book is by e. Clements. A great
musical critic thus characterizes the
book and its subject;
"There are two ways of learning
to understand Indian music. The
first is to devote a lifetime to It's
study. The second, and cheaper,
plan, is to be born again and born
an East Indian. When a man hears
Hindustani spoken it is mere GID
berish; he devotes a few Tears to
studying it, and at the end of that
time can order a cocktail an,f
curry After ten years more, per-
haps, he can read the poets. by
hard work. possibly by the time he
is ready to be put in his coffin, he may
understand the nuances of the Literal
ture. To Western ears Oriental music
sounds all alike and all out of rune"
1t is a fact that to attain any APP
probation of Indian music there are
necessary an unerring musical ear,
a memory for what are known as
musical intervals and inexnaustible
patience.

Concerning Dancing
in the Grange.

Dear Editors
have been greatly interested in this
question, for it seems one of the hard
est to settle. The constitution Goes
not prohibit dancing, but leaves it en-
tirely to each subordinate Grange to
do as it deems best.
Some Changers are so serious" or
so extremely "solid" that they won't
allow any fun or show any considera-
ton for the young people whatever.
They expect the young men and women
to write papers, take part in debates,
sing and wait on table, and to do it
without a murmur, but when it comes
to something of the good time nature,
occasionally little dancing. a prom
enade or a whirl at tucker, the older
folks pucker down their faces into
frown and deny the young folks any
chance whatever. Mark my word,
such Grange will go down just as
certainly as the one that permits itself
to be danced to death. l protest
against either extreme-one is as bad
as the other; but there is fine middle
ground, and good common sense will
find it every ,time-far more effective
ly than by rule or Legislation.
Whether members of any grange are
in sympathy with dancing or not, it is
not suitable program to introduce in
to- the lecture hour. But, after the
grange is closed, l see no reason why
there should not be dancing or card
playing in the hall, if anyone desires.
But, if there are some who do not
care to dance, or think it sinful even
to see others dance, their best move is
to go home before the dancing begins.
The grange of today is dependent on
our young people for it's growth and
development, and all young people
must have amusement mingled with or
added to their recreation. 1t is better
to have the grange draw in and keep
in the young, than that they should
60 elsewhere for amusement and leave
the older ones to gradually depart, till
nothing remains. There is no sin in
either dancing or card playing. the sin
is in the manner we dance or play, and
the company we keep while doing so.
And we most certainly would not ad-
NIT anyone into our grange with whom
| we could not dance. a

MAKING A RECORD

Fred j. Fine, formerly publisher of
the Gazette and now resident OF Sc
attic, was in town for two or three
days this week looking after his prop
erty interests. Mr.. Fine Is connected
with the state land department as a
land appraiser and his duties require
him to do much travelling to all parts
of the state. He has school lands in
mis- county and Ferry county to ap-
praise that will keep him steadily en-
pioyed until snow falls and drives him
from the field. Mr.. Fine is making
an enviable record in his office as one
of the most efficient attaches OF the
department. His success in the office
is no surprise to those who know him
best, for there are few more capable
men in the state than Mr.. Fine. HIS
light was hidden for too long time
in this out of the way part OF the state,
where he had no opportunity nor In
centive to exercise his abilities, whlch
are many and far above the ordinary.
Had he entered the field Of any other
endeavor than the country printing o.
flee a dozen years ago Mr.. Fine would
have prospered and won high posi-
ton in the state.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

orovllle, Wash, Nov. 6, 1913.
1t coming to our notice that oxog
seratei and false statements are cir
cuiatinS broadcast over the country
ieiatiVe to the smallpox situation in
oroVille, we feel it to be our duty to
the public, both at home and abroad
10 present the facts as they exist
without bias, evasion or concealment
During the past two months there
nave been several cases of smallpox
IN the town OF Oroville, Of very mild
type, originating from a case that was
Drought into the community from a
distance. At no time since its an
pearance has the disease reached the
stage OF an epidemic, and the cases
SO few, far between and isolated that
no apprehension has been felt in this
community, and extraordinary pre-
cautions were not considered neces-
sary, further than local quarantine
and such measures as would prevent
a spread OF the disease from those in
fected.
Al the present time there are but
three cases existing in the town of
oroville, in two of which the patients
are convalescent. They are so isolat-
ed and safeguarded that danger of
injection from those sources is re-
mote.
Under the personal direction and
supervision of the Deputy County
Health Officer the strictest care Is
being taken to confine the disease to
those at present afflicted, and the most
stringent quarantine is enforced.
PREMISES where the disease has ap-
peared are thoroughly fumigated and
disinfected, so that the danger of tran
shifting the disease is reduced to a
minimum.
AS the conditions exist at present
'cre is no excuse whatever for alarm.
and sensational reports as to the ex-
tent of the disease now in circulation
are wholly groundless. People are as
safe from infection passing through
Oroville as they would be passing
through any town, or city, in Canada
or the United States.

IN THE WRONG PEW

Frank Culess, erstwhile feeding his
face by means of stipend wrung
by hard knocks from the railroad in
the capacity of a track layer, has been
boarding at the expense of the munich
pality during the past week, occupy
ing a stall in the town Jail. Culess
is playing in mighty big luck that he
is not also nursing a sore head. Last
Friday Culess strayed from his lodg
ing house, and during his peregrna-
tons managed to take on so much
liquid ballast that his ability to locate
the points of the compass was very
much befuddled. Getting switched
off his route in an effort to locate his
stopping place he became possessed
of the idea that Emil Schultz's resi-
denoe was his abiding place and in
sisted upon entering the house. Very
fortunately for him Mr. Schultz was
not at home. Unfortunately for Mrs.
Schultz she was. The stranger be-
came very insistent and disagreeable,
and Mrs. Schultz had the fright of her
life. The telephone was located near
the door, and as she prevented Culess
from entering she managed to ring
m Charlie Loudon and sent in hurry
I'M call. Mr.. Loudon secured the aid
of Deputy Sheriff Carrell and Tom
Burgett, and hastened to the rescue.
Culess was still at the Schultz home
and was run in. The next day ne
was stuck for fine of SIS and costs,
and being unable to liquidate became
a guest of the city. This is the second
time within a month that private res
idences have been visited by drunken
roisteres. What such people need
more than a simple fine is whacK
over the head with base ball pat.
Such treatment has more curative
nroperties than simple fine, and 1t
10 boped that if another occasion OF
the kind should arise the citizen whose
home is invaded will resort to the
club, and put all the steam at his COM
mand behind the belt.

A FEEBLE EXCISE

Inc okanogan high school football
team failed to fill the appointment
made for game in Oroville last Sat.
urday on the puerile excuse that there
Is smallpox in Oroville. Possibly tho
people of Okanogan have been unau,v
exercised over the presence of two
cases OF smallpox in this place. both
isolated and quarantined, by exaeper-
ated reports without shadow of found
ation, and are not altogether to blame.
PEOPLE here have no fears of the dis
ease, as it is by no means in the shane
OF an epidemic, and it is hoped that by
the exercise Of every precaution there
will be few, if any more. cases. Okla
hogan should not be so squemish, any,
now, as the first case to appear in this
place, and the one responsible for the
others since. was contracted at, or
near, Okanogan. However, all this
scolding has nothing to do with the
football game that did not take place,
1t would have been easy for those who
have charge Of the Okanogan team to
have ascertained the true conditions.
and had they done so they would have
found no good reason for cancelling
the engagement As it was notice of
the change of plans was not received
here until late Friday evening, after
bills and tickets for the game had been
printed, and numerous tickets sold,
and announcement of the game had
been given through the paper. 1t was
bitter disappointment to the local
players and the public generally
There seems no excuse for the late
notification, as the conditions here
have been exactly the same for two
months. and any danger from contag-
con was as great when the match was
first made as when the game was call

HEALTH OFFICER AT LAST.

After inexplicable delay a deputy
county health officer has been appoint
ed for OrOville, and there will be no
more room for complaint of neglig-
ence in the matter of guarding against
the spread of contagious diseases no
matter what the character of the dis
ease may be. DR.. +. S. Beale is the
physician empowered to enforce the
laws applicable to safeguarding the
public against the spread of disease
He has entered upon his duties with a
determination to eradicate the small
pox, If isolation of cases and correct
i've and preventative measures will
accomplish that object. He is a man
who will do his duty conscientiously
and thoroughly, and the public can
rest assured that the health of the
community will be carefully guarded
while he has the authority to act. He
reports to this office that there are
but three cases in town, two of which
are we'll on the way to recovery. He
is in hopes that within a fortnight
every vestage of the disease will be
stamped out, and feels that there is
no cause for the present hysterical
agitation on the Canadian side of the
line.
