habits as regards food, sleep and
work
At the conclusion of Dr. Klock's ad-
dress, the minister, S l.. Jackson, took
the divisions of the doctors address
and applied them to keeping ones
health spiritually. At the close of

given and one young lady went for
ward to confess her faith in Christ

a more fragrant case of the wholesale
looting of a company than that which
occurred in the present case during
the last three or four years. The in
evitable result of the lack of manage
ment, mismanagement, and d~iverting
of moneys, was and is the present
condition of the company and it's
plant.
collections were not enforced, re-
pairs were postponed, necessary and
revenue-producing extensions were
not made, debts not paid, all that was
done was to get the C as much
money as possible and with as little
trouble as possible"
The receiver further shows that
the plant of the company is run
down and in poor condition, declaring
that the annual expenses of the COM
pany are about $4,000, while the
gross income on the present basis of
rates and collections and without ex-
tensions is estimated al $4,000
showing a loss of $4,000. He also

TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.

Some persons are under the impress
sion that Nine. Lambert is deriving a
financial benefit in the general collec-
ton of cancelled postage stamps. She
wishes to inform her friends and the
kind public that she receives no ma
terial benefit in the work of collecting
old stamps of any kind. Nor does
she wish to gain anything by doing
so. She is simply performing a pleas
ant and charitable work in helping on
the Home and Foreign Mission So
Getty" When the collected stamps
have accumulated to the weight of
n pound she will forward the same
to the Mother Mission House in
Penna." Among their many oppor-
t~unities these stamps are sold for
various purposes and the proceeds are
used toward the different works of
charity connected with the Mission
Society, which is very far reaching.
Those persons to whom this object
and motive stirs a charitable thought,
will greatly help along the cause by
saving the old stamps instead of burn
ing OF destroying the envelopes or
paper wrappings. Mime. Lambert
will call at the stores, but private in
dividuals may kindly leave them in
an envelope at The Pleasantville Press
office or at her studio, 103 Chestnut
st. So far she publicly thanks those
in P~leasantville and elsewhere who
have so nicely responded in the collec-
ton. You may suppose it takes a
good many stamps to weigh a pound.

LOCAL SCHOOL LOSES
MANUAL TRAINING TEACHER.

The death of Thomas B. Davies. at
4.30 o'clock on Sunday morning, came
as a great shock to his many friends
and co-workers of this place. Mr..
Davies has been the Supervisor of the
Manual Training Department of our
Public Schools for the past eighteen
months, and has brought the depart
ment to a high degree of efficiency.
He carried out the regular routine of
his duties faithfully and conscien-
tiously until two weeks ago. since
which time he failed rapidly. Though
not confined to his bed at any time. he
suffered greatly from asthma, which
was greatly aggravated by the damp
easterly weather. He boarded in At
lantic City, but visited business asso-
ciates in Pleasantville on Saturday.
His relatives are nearly all living in
Wales, only one cousin residing in
Scranton, Pa.
Beautiful floral tributes were sent
by his fellow teachers, pupils and
friends. The n sent by the boys of
his department was a floral compass
and square.
The funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon in the Baptist
Church. Rev. S. R. Stratton official
ing. A touching solo was sung by
Miss Edith Hodgson. The schools
were closed, SO that the faculty and
his former pupils were enabled to at
tend in a body. 1t is the first time
that a teacher of our schools has pass
ed away during the school term.

Managers of Pleasantville Water
Company Are Charged With
Gross Mismanagement

Sensational charges of the whole
sale looting of the P~leasantville Wat
er Company by its officers and direc-
tors, gross mismanagement of the
plant. the misuse and diverting of the
company's funds are made in the re-
port of Prosecutor Charles Sumner
Moore, who was appointed receiver
of the concern on October 1st on the
application of John ]. Albertson, a
heavy creditor of the company. 1t is
expected that suits will be started in
the Pennsylvania courts to recover
some of the money which it is alleg-
ed has been illegally spent.
Mr.. Moore in his report states that
the Pleasantville Water Company has
been run as a subsidiary of the Uni
ted Water and Guarantee Company
that the books of the company dis
close the liability of A, Grant Rich
wine, w. Dale Sheaf, j.. N. Deeter,
the United Water and Guarantee
Company, all of Harrisburg, for large
sums of money.
What Receiver Finds.
In speaking of the management of
the plant, Mr.. Moore says,N"For some
three or four years prior to the re-
ownership, the company itself, and
the operation of the plant was
aged and controlled by officers and
directors resident in or about Har-
risburg, Pa, and the actual care,
management and operation of the
plant and system was left in the
hands of a superintendent at Pleas
antville, who was not a man of any
experience along these lines.
"The company was run as a subsi-
diary lin fact, if not in name) of the
United Water and Guarantee Com
pany, a Pennsylvania corporation
with offices at Harrisburg. The re-
ceipts at Pleasantville were daily
transmitted to Harrisburg, and were
illegally diverted to a large extent,
to the use of the United Water and
Guarantee Company and of certain
individuals.

He turned away, overcome by emo

and grasped my hands in his.

into the living room.

He led us along many passages, UP
a fight of stairs, and into an audi
ence room. Bidding me wait there
with madame, he conducted Von Beh

waited perhaps half an hour in ST

figures emerged.
Two were the archdukes; the other
was the emperor himself, leaning upon
the arm of Franz Ferdinand.
Won Behring evidently greatly
moved, beckoned to his wife, and the
two stood beside the aged ruler in a

emperor seemed uncertain, he peered
and blinked into Won Behring's face;
