100 Years Ago Today

y Ne hundred years ago today the
state Fencibles, a volunteer corps
raised in Philadelphia. marched
from that city to the rendezvous at
Kennetts square. When it was learned
that the British had descended on
Washington great alarm was felt in
every city along the Atlantic seaboard.
and everywhere hasty measures were
being taken for defence The sending
out Of the state Fencibles was one Of the
steps taken BY Philadelphia in prepare
ton to resist an attack by the enemy.
The corps was organized by Capt. Glen
ent G. Biddle. a son Of the Clement
Biddle who is known in history as the
quaker soldier. In his youth Capt
Biddle served for term in the navy.
As captain Of the state Fencibles he
took part in several engagements in
the war OF 1872 and was later ap-
pointed colonel Of a Pennsylvania in
fantry regiment

LtTN NEARLY every soda parlor
and drug store in the east,
tempting glasses Of soda or
dishes of ice cream are shown in the
windows" said h H. Rumstedt, who
is the American representative of a
large German manufacturing house.
Those dainties. which are so natural
as TO almost defy detection without the
closest examination, are one Of the
principal products of the toy makers
Of Germany In many cases the eX-
hlblts are very elaborate, such as a
glass Of soda with whipped cream and
cherries on top and a sprig Of mint
TO top il. In many cases the models
are made out Of glass, specially frosted
glass representing the ice cream and
whipped cream. and much ingenuity is
required to get the natural effect. This
industry, like almost all others in Ger
many, has now come 10 a standstill.
So natural are the limitations that they
command good price"
With the resumption OF sailings by
the French line" said J. E. Monroe,
the indications for at least a partial
resumption OF European traffic is good
The Cuuard line will probably be next
TO announce regular sallings. but it is
doubtful whether the German lines will
risk their steamers unless they can
spare cruisers to convoy them There

for Europe when the war broke out

class will plant tree.
Because of the much over crowded
condition in the primary room, part of
the pupils will probably receive instruc-

If any friends of the school have any
shrubs that they might spare they
would be much appreciated at school
where they would be set out to beautify
the grounds. Honeysuckle, spirea, rose
bushes, syringa, and golden glow would
be especially acceptable.
