who is it that is so uncomplaining and patiently loving? Who kisses the lit tie one last at night-who instantly wages at the first faint sob-who sees him first at break of day--whose yigi- lance nothing, however minute, es- capes-whose tongue may be silent but who "ponders many things in her heart? Is 1t the father with his blunter sensibilities. or the mother with her refined munitions? How much may be said of the mothers heroism. :
 Bring Her No Needless Care.
 Men. most of you are in the vigor of young manhood The majority of you have mothers living. I beg of you to do nothing that shall bring to her unnecessary sorrow. Tears and trouble are inevitable, and woman is the first to feel them. and there is no crime so great as the breaking of a mothers heart. And how thought lessly is this sometimes done!
 Those of you who have families see to it that your boys and girls show proper respect to their mothers, and they will be more likely in after years to respect her sex.
 The speaker closed with a few words appropriate to the winding up of the shop talks for the season.

GIFT OF GOLD AT

The employees and the management of the Richmond Radiator company gave to Rev. C. H. sRickefts, Mrs, l.. o. Potter and Miss Letftia Kramer. a pot of gold for their helpful and in structive shop talks conducted in that plant during the past winter under the auspices of the Y NJ. c. A. On Wednesday Mir. Ricketts, spoke on the topic My Mother. and Mrs L. O. Pot ter, accompanied by Miss Kramer, sang very touchingly My Mother s Prayer. This meeting concluded the meetings for the summer in that plant which have been very successful
 The white carnation was the com mon flower that was seen almost ev- anywhere last Sunday in memory of mother. said Rev. MT. Ricketts. Of all the days set apart in recent years for special observance that of Mothers day is the most beautifully tender. Of all earthly names that of mother shares with wife in being the most sacred that & man can utter, and to how many did last Sunday bring the tears of recollection and the pang of memory at the thought that, never again in this mortal state. shall we see her fact or hear her voice. Even if We believe that she is far better off in her translated state. and that it would be selfish cruelty to wish her back to the hard struggle and grind of this life, yet we cannot help feeling some times what a solace it would be if she would only once more put her hand on our head and once more call us by name as she did in our childhood
 Occupies Peculiar Niche.
 There arc times when almost envy those whose mothers are still living It may be that her hair is silvered her step unsteady. her eye dim: her ways childish, and yet there is some thing about the very personality of poor declining mother that savers of the kingdom Of heaven. She occupies peculiar niche in our hearts that no other loved one. however dear, can quite fit into.
 UnseIfish and Heroic.
 In the earliest days it is the mother pre- eminently who is needful to us We are part of her living self, and if we are to have any show whatever in the race of life it will depend upon her intelligent and sacrificaI care. Take the tryins HAxiod of childhood

HOTEL LINCOLN
RECEIVER WILL

Finds That Place Is Only Able
to Meet Current Ex-
penses.

Receiver David Booker, who has
been conducting the Hotel Lincoln,
at SS2 Broad street, today secured an
order to discontinue the business.
the order was granted by Referee
Atwood l.. De Coster after a hearing
in Bankruptcy Court. The hotel had
been a. the hands of the receiver
since July IS, when an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed
against the Navarro Operating Com
pany, which owned the hotel
The inability of the Navarro Oper-
ating Company to carry out a pro-
posed settlement with creditors
brought about the receivers applica-
ton to discontinue the business. Mr..
Booker showed that to date he has
been able only to meet the expenses
in running the hotel, although Feist
&c Feist, the landlords, had waived
rent while the receiver was in pos
session.
William 70. Woodman, president of
the Navarro Operating Company. and
E. Gardner Crane, secretary and
treasurer, testified that they were I'M
NV ~ iciSC illOilty 10 Ildht II StlIle-
ment with creditors. The company
had proposed to make a Is per cent.
compromise. after which it would re-
sumo control of the hotel. Up to the
time of fling the bankruptcy petition
there was $4,000 due to Feist &, Feist
for rent. and a distress warrant had
been served on the owners a short
time before the receiver was APP
pointed. Daniel j. Lynch, sergeant
alarms of the Second District Court,
testified that he served the distress
warrant on MIR. Crane.
Practically all of the furnishings
at the hotel are owned by the land
lords, Feist & Feist, who bought out
the contents of the hotel at a former
distress sale. William Harris, attor-
ney for Receiver Booker, announced
that the hotel would be turned over to
the landlord to satisfy the distress
warrant.
The receivers report shows that he
has $500 on hand, nearly all of which
Is due for expenses incurred in run
ming the business. He also stated
that he believed he would not be able
to pay expenses If he continued run
ming the business any longer The liza
bilities of the company, exclusive of
the rent claim, are $4,000 1t is expect
ed that eFist & Feist will continue to

LEATHER GOODS
TO COST MORE,
IS PREDICTION
National Newark Banking Co.
Letter Also Reviews Gen.
eral Situation.

The September financial letter Of
the National Newark Banking Com
pany offers some information con-
corning importations of raw material
in which Newark is vitality interested.
Speaking of the general business
outlook the letter says that a com
plete REIMBURSEMENT of business will
not be effected for some months, all
though progress is being made stead
lily. Newark is particularly inter-
ested in leather
About half the leather used in this
country, the bank letter states, comes
from abroad, the imports for the
year ending June 30 last being more
than 500, 600 900 pounds valued at over
$110 100000. About Is per cent. of
this amount, which comes from Rus
STA, Germany and Belgium, probably
will be cut off.
The letter also says. 1.-The prices of
all kinds of leather have rapidly in
creased, especially those kinds which
are used for shoes and harness, as
there WILL undoubtedly, be a very
heavy demand from the warning ma
tions for goods of these classes,
Leather products win, unquestion-
ably, run much higher in price,
Another interrupted importation is
potash, in which Newark is also in
terested. The principal source of the
supply has been Saxopy, where the
deposit run over 5000 feet deep and
are believed to be inexhaustible. Pot
ash enters largely into the manufac-
ture of fertilizer, glass and soap, and
the yearly importations amount to
$15,000,0 600
The American Agricultural Chemi-
cal Company has reported that sew
eral valuable concessions have been
secured by them from the Spanish
government in the newly discovered
potash fields in that country and re-
lief is hoped for in that direction.
While the importation of German
dyestuffs has ceased. manufacturers
hope that way soon will be founl to
bring them nito this country by way
of Holland.
