REMEMBERED BY The
LOOT. FRA ERN|TY

Last Friday night the mem bers OF Paw
Paw lodge No. Is, |. o. o. F., presented
to Dr.. W. F. Emery, beautiful Royal
Rest chair, the occasion being his las t
meeting with No. is. The members
telling deep sorrow in his leaving Paw
Paw, presented this token Of the hie b
esteem 10 which the DR.. is held by th g
Odd Fellow fraternity in this town.
The presentation was made by Merle Fl =.
Young, personal friend of DR.. Emery
and the remarks, accompanying the pres
entatlon, voiced the sentiment of the
members of this fraternity. The DR..
responded to the gift ia few words, but
his actions spoke louder and sank deeper
into the hearts Of his friends, than any
word he could have uttered. DR.. Emery
was always willing to do what be could
for the advancement OF Oddfelowship
and addressed the members of the order
on several occasions. His work among
the members of this order vas appreci.
ated by every member, and a great deal
OF good has been accomplished through
his short stay here among the fraternal
societies. He believed in the principles
OF the fraternal societies to which he be.
longed. He lived, practiced and taught
these principles, and these combined
with the high religious thoughts which
was his doctrine, made him a peer
among his fraternal brothers. To saw
DR.. Emery will be missed by these
societies is placing it mild, and could
the DR.. have been here for few years
longer there would not be the difference
that exists between the fraternal orders
and some of the church members.

Act. 20:3S:
"Sorrowiug most of all for the words
which he spake, That they should
see his face 20 more. And they &C.
companied him into his ship"
His remarks were confined to his text
throughout his sermon. He thanked
the press Of Paw Paw for the courtesies
shown him, also the Odd Fellows, Mas.
oulc and X of p. fraternal societies for
the manner in which he had been treat.
ed by these societies during his short
year here.
The leaving of Or. Emery removes one
OF the best ministers Paw Paw has ever
had. The citizens as a whole deeply re.
greet that he was not returned to this
parish. His work among his felowmen

very start OF his ministry here, and the
friendship he WOO is lasting. DR.. Emery
always hao a pleasant word for every
one he met, and felt that because he
was minister, that he was not at all
superior to the common man. This won
Tor him the strong friendship that exists
for him in this community. He was al

no difference to him what time of day
or night he was called he cheerfully re.

We are indeed sorry that we are to

gan Veteran Volunteer Cavalry met 10
reunion for the first time after being
mustered out at San Antonio, Texas, on
the 18th day Of February, 1866, having
seen almost four and one-haIf years of
continuous service. At that first reun
ion there were present forty members of
the company. The company has met in
annual reunion every year since that
date, with, as matter OF course, a grad.
ually decreasing attendance. The Both
meeting was held at Lawrence last Sat.
urday, the 18th day of September, Just
at the close Of fifty.four years after en-
tering the service, the date of the enlist.
ment OF the company being September
18th, 1861. Sixteen of the survivors be-
sides several honorary members, we're
present on this occasion. The day not
being favorable FOR al out of-doors as.
sembly, the meeting was held 10 the
u. A. II. Post room. A considerable
number of ladies were in attendance and
also members of the local post. The
ladies of the local relief corps served
line banquet in the hall which was not
the least enjoyable feature of the occa-
sion. The business meeting was held
Immediately after the banquet. At this
meeting Paw Paw was selected as the
place for the next annual reunion.
Comrade William Killefer, one OF the
honorary members of the company, was
selected as captain and Comrade A. r.
Hurlbut was chosen as lieutenant and
quartermaster. Comrade Rowland was
chosen many years ago as secretary for
life. After the business of the meeting
was completed there was held a volun.
tary campfire" at which remarks were
made by Capt. Klllefer and several others
OF the company and by visiting CON-
rades. The meeting adjourned at |
seasonable hour so that those in attend |
ance might reach their homes before
nightfall. The "old boys" and their
friends all agreed that they had enjoyed
the day and seemed determined that, if
they were spared to see the day, they
would surely be present at the next an.
nual meeting, the date of which will be
determined by the officers of the CON-
pany.

Another Retiring Rich Man.
(New York World.)

For the second time within a few days there was recorded in New York yesterday the retirement of a million aire still in the middle ago who had made his money so quietly as to have been personally but little known to the reading public.
 This rich man celebrated his fiftieth birthday by stepping down and out of his business. His son succeeds to his place. "Millionaires," says the retiring one, do not work hard They come down three days a week and take up office room.' So he is stepping out for the good of my corporation and and to give the rest of my crowd q chance"
 This semi philosophy of retirement is as may be. Financial and indus trial history records tho names of inilliona!res moro famous than this ono who have done well to stay in harness, for their own good as well as the good of others. The work habit IS something like the physical culture habit. It develops certain strengths which have to be there after rather carefully regarded, lest out of !apsing powers shall spring de- cay.
 On the outside is a story concernire th.s1atest retiring rich man which speaks for his business activity rather potter than his own words seem to do. It is related that not so long ago the managers of his great chain of ] stores received each q personal tele- gram asking in effect. ""Did you say Thank yoC' to each cash customer to- day?" And this message, it is said. was but one of many reminders of constant vigilance and keen thinking by power higher up" This sugges- ton of diligence. enterprise and trade courtesy is perhaps more generally valuable than tho miilicnairc's refcc- tions cn his retirement.

 45O Musicians Engaged.
 After Mayor Fordyce has welcomed Sunday the grand marshal, Major Au- gustus Van Giesen, will give the word. and with fifty policemen in the van Sunday will be escorted to his taber- nacle by a large part of the city's population. Eleven fife and drum corps and four bands, 450 musicians in all. will give snap to the swinging feet. and if the crowd starts to sing some of the Sunday hymns, which thousands know it will not be great surprise
 That the spirit of the evangelist has reached the town before him Is shown by the large numbr of conversions ac- complished in Paterson churches. There have been at least 1000 in the last three months, of which 125 have been converted by the Rev. Charles Schweikert. Resorts in the town are anticipating trouble and are begin ming to close. At least fifteen saloons have gone out of business.

UN|TAR|ANS 10 FIGHT
 ATTACKS OF SUNDAY
Denomination Plans 10 Strike Back
 at Him Hard.

Paterson, N. J., April Eff Billy Sunday renews his attacks on the Unitarians in the course of his revival, which will start here on Easter Sun day, he will find the denomination prepared to strike back at him hard. Sundays comments on Unitarianism in Philadelphia have aroused the en- tire church. The Unitarians have hired one of the largest halls in the city, only four blocks from Sunday s tabernacle, where pamphlets replying to the evangelist's attacks will be is- sued, beginning on Monday. The counter fire and defence are expected to result in the organization of a Unitarian church in Patersoa.
 Sunday called us fools and 'mutts' in Philadelphia and rubbed it in hard" said the Rev. A. R. Shelander, Unitarian pastor of Passaic, last night. "and we thought it advisable to be prepared for him here. We are not afraid of what he is going to say, nor do we fear that -le is going to hurt us. We expect to gain by him.
 Plenty of Speakers.
 His attacks will arouse interest in Unitarianism and persons will go to Orpheus hall to find out what it is. There will be plenty of speakers to tell them It is the psychological moment for Unitarian in New Jersey, and as a beginning we expect Sunday to bring Unitarian church to Pater- son."
 Arrangements for the opposition campaign will be completed tomorrow night, when scores of Unitarian clergymen will gather here to defend their creed.
 Throbs of Anticipation. o'clock Saturday night. and already the city is beginning to throb in anti cipation. If it were not that the con versations heard on the streets seenl divided on tho desirability of the event one might think that the biggest cir GUS in the world were coming to town. Flags are beginning to appear over the streets and the namo of Sunday is on the lips of every one.
 It is expected that the biggest crowd that ever welcomed a visitor to Pater- son will gather to see or take part in the big parade. The police have pre- pared to handle a crowd of 50,0O0 per- sons at the City Hall when Mayor Robert II. Firdyce hands over the keys.
 Welcomed By Delegation.
 Sunday with Ma Sunday and the others of his staff, will leave the train at Newark at 5 o'clock and will he welcomed by a delegation that will fill twenty-five automobiles The evangelist will ride in the automobile of William A. Arnold, silk dyer.
 The procession of cars will go through Belleville and Nutley to Pas saic, where a stop will be made to let Sunday shake hands with Mayor George N. Seager and perhaps say few words to what will be crowd of probably 10000. Then on to Paterson and the City Hall, where G. 900 church members, led by their pas

Called CpOn for Report.

Washington. April 2.--Ambassador Sharp, at Paris. was called upon by the state department yesterday for u report as to the circumstances sur rounding the arrest of Raymond Swo- boda, an American citizen. charged with having set fire to La Touraine, a French liner, on her recent trip from New York to Havre. Friends of Swoboda in New York city had brought press reports of his arrest to the departments attention, and vouched for his American citizenship.
 With Suspicious Persons.
 Three days ago M. Mommeia heard seen in a Paris cafe in company with suspicious persons. He at once re- ported the matter to the 1oCal police.
 According to statements made to newspaper reporters by residents of the suburb of Virofiay, where SWobo- la lived at one time, the men had long been regarded with suspicion. He was very intimate in the Australian German colony and spent much of his time with an Austrian named Padouk. A few days after the outbreak of hos tilities Swoboda was discovered at d late hour one night close to where some important defense work was being carried out. upon being ar rested he explained that he was an American and pleaded ignorance. Upon the production of satisfactory Iapers he was allowed to go.
 Neighbors Watch Swoboda.
 This incident, however, according to the recitals of the people of Virofiay, strong impression upon Swobodas neighbors and they decided to watch him. One night he was seen to go to the house of a man named Prusst, a native of Vienna. Shortly after the two men emerged and made their way cautiously in the direction of the local defense works looking around meanwhile to see if they were being observed. [
 Some time later Swoboda dis suised as a mason, was seen coming from the defenses. The police were informed of this, but for some reason they took no action. Weeks passed, and finally on January 15. they ar rested Prusst and sent him to a con- centration camp. By this tinae Swobo- da had left Virofay and was on his way to America.

WOMAN ROBBED OF $2f.

New Haven, April "A young wom- an named Miss Reynolds of 1S3 Brad ley street, was robbed of her purse containing $21 last night shortly be- fore II o'clock when a daring hold up man snatched it from her hand at the corner of Whitney avenue and Bradley street, near the spot where E.. H. Everit was assaulted over year ago. By a strange coincidence Rob- ert Deming, who heard MT. Everit's cries for aid, was the first one to hear the cries of Miss Reynolds. and went to her aid. She was not injured, however.
