There were present probably one
hundred and fifty men. most OF them
young men, who listened attentatively
to the speaker. Mr., Browning handled
his subject with rare eloquence. He
spoke distinctly and with emphasis On
every phase. There vas logic in what
he said and his meaning was never
lost to his hearers. The subject OF
life for the young man who must go
either backward or forward WAS so
set forth as to leave a lasting thought
in the minds of everyone who heard
the lecture.
An orchestra of seven young men,
with Ave stringed instruments and two
band instruments. furnished the mu-
sic, which was no small feature OF the
service. These Sunday afternoon mems
meetings at the Y. NJ. c. A. are at
tracing attention to a greater degree

well yesterday there was tremendous
influx of business in Petersburg yes
terday afternoon and last night The
crowd was the most orderly of It's size
that has been in Petersburg in recent
months, and the police were called
upon to make fewer arrests than on
any similar occasion for some time,
and nothing OF a serious consequence
occurred.
Beginning on March IL, the Du-
days according to an official announce
inent made to the employees of the
plant yesterday. The many thousand
operatives will be divided into twelve
divisions. and one division will be paid
off every day. and on this day the di-
vision that is paid off will be given q
alf-holiday. The officials of the COM
tany are of the opinion that through
the adoption OF this plan of paying of
It's employees a great many complica-
tons will be avoided and great deal
will be accomplished through the saw
ing of time. The new plan will un-
doubtedly prove of much benefit to
Petersburg and Hopewell, as some of
the employees of the plant will have
money to spend throughout the month,
whereas heretofore the tremendous
bulk of business transacted with Du-
Point employees by Petersburg and
