Death of Mrs. Rodine.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
John w. Bodine, of Camden, were
greatly shocked on Thursday morning
to hear of the sudden death of Mrs.
Bodine which occurred the previous
evening Mrs. Bodine was charter
member of Camden Chapter No. 35,
Order of Eastern Star, and was its first
'matron" or presiding officer. The
Chapter had arranged for a banquet at
! the Ridgway House, Camden, to COM
memorate the tenth anniversary of the
institution of the order. The members
were very DESTROYS of having Mrs. Bo-
dine with them and sent an automo-
| bile to her residence to take her to the
banquet hall.
| While she had not been in good
health for some time she had seemed
quite bright Thursday and a friend
who was with her in the afternoon said
she seemed remarkably cheerful. Ac-
companied by her husband she went
to the hotel and began chatting with
her friends. A lady who went to speak
to her took her by the hand and while
they were exchanging greetings a
change came over the countenance of
Mrs. Bodine. Still holding the hand
of her friend, the stricken woman died.
She had not been in the banquet hall
over fifteen minutes.
Two physicians were in the house at
the time and went to her aid but their
services were useless, Mrs. Bodine was
past help. Her body was taken to her
home and those who had but few
minutes before been expecting a joyful
occasion quietly took their leave and
went to their homes.
John w. Bodine is we'll known to
many of the citizens of this county.
He was station master at Camden for
number of years and formed MANY
warm friendships. His wife was equal
ly well-knOwn and beloved for her
admirable qualities. She was active
in all work that would aid in uplifting
and aiding the young. She took a
great interest in the p. r. r. Christian
Association. She was also very active
in the order that was to have celebrat-
ed its tenth anniversary and when she
retired from the presiding chair she
was presented with beautiful badge.
For a number of years she lived in
Mount Holly. She had not been in
good health for some time but there
was not thought to be any fear of the
sudden death that carried her away.
Had she lived until the oath of Novem.
Der she would have celebrated the SD
year of her married life. Mrs. Bodine
was an admirable woman, a devoted
wife and mother and a firm friend.
Her loss will be felt not only in the
home circle but in many families
where she was welcome and sought
as a companion.
Her funeral took place yesterday,
the remains being inferred in ST. An
drew's burying ground, Mount Holly,
services being held in the Dobbins
Memorial Chapel on the grounds.

The Trolley Hearing

Tuesday was the time fixed for the
representatives of the Burlington
County Traction Company, as well as
all others interested, to appear at Tren-
ton, to listen to what might be said
why the fares that were recently in
creased should not be put back to the
old schedule. President Haines, secre-
tary Coate and counsel Evans were on
hand for the trolley company, and
Herbert S. Killie, Charles II. FoIwell
and James t. Royle were spectators,
Mr.. Killie being there as counsel for
the original directors.
Mr.. Evans told the Public Utility
Commission that the trolley company
had not been appraised of what was re-
quired but its representatives were
there to give any information that
they possessed which might throw
light on the subject. To this president
Donges replied that the privilege of in
creasing the fare on the trolley be-
tween Moorestown and Burlington had
been granted after the company had
agreed to do certain things. This
agreement was satisfactory to the
gentlemen who had opposed the in
crease and the fares were boosted on
the first of June. Since then there had
been complaints to the Commission
that the promises had not been fnlfill-
ed and that the service had not been
improved as promised.
Mr.. Evans related that new cars had
been ordered and that Improvements
were being made to some of the old
ones. The new cars had not vet been
delivered but the delay was not due to
any negligence on the part of the troll
ley company. The proposed traffic
arrangement that was to have been
made with the Public Service Corpora
ton had not been completed because
the Corporation insisted upon certain
conditions that the trolley company
thought were not reasonable. Another
conference with the Public Service
Corporation had been set for the 18th
of November and if terms could not
be settled then the trolley company
would order more new cars and run the
line on its own service.
President Donges, while not doubt
ing this statement, still appeared to be
of the impression that to much time
had been lost in making the promised
Improvements and that possibly it
might have gone into effect sooner if
the objections to raising the fares had
not been withdrawn. The company is
enjoying the increase in revenue while
the patrons of the road are still suffer-
ing from the lack of Improvements.
The matter was finally allowed to go
oyer until the 23d OF November, at
which time the Utilities Commission
expects the trolley people to show some
substantial indication of getting traf.
fic arrangement, new cars, or some
thing else that will be for the bene fit
OF those who are compelled to travel
over the road. The trolley representa-
tives had correspondence and papers
with them which corrobrated their as
sertions that new cars had been order.
ed and that the Public Service Cor
poration was bearing little bit toe
hard on the local road. 1t is thought
that all tangles will be smoothed by
the time the next hearing takes place

1t Was the Cat.

The night operator at the local Bell
telephone exchange proved that she
was right on her job Sunday night,
and while the result showed that her
fears of burglary being attempted
were wrong, her prompt action in noti-
flying the police and having the matter
Investigated was very commendabie.
About midnight call came to the ex-
change from the telephone in Wollner' s
market, at the corner of Madison ave-
nue. and Washington street. The opera
tor thought it strange that any one
should have business in the market at
that hour. and when repeated requests
for number, please" brought no re-
Spouse, she decided that some person
must be prowling around the store who
accidentally knocked the telephone re-
ceiver off the hook. By intense listen
ing, she thought she could hear noises
of heavy articles being moved, and
feeling sure that robbery was under
way, the operator called police head
quarters and communicated her sus
picions to policeman Hall. Office
Hall got in touch with detective Par
ker, and the two officers went to tn
market, where they found that tn
store cat had evidently been rehears
ing for the Halloween festivities, an
in doing so, had knocked down th
telephone.

Board OF Education
to Open Evening Classes


At the meeting of the Board of Edu'
cation on Thursday evening, several
applications were received from resi-.
dents of Mount Holly, above school
age, asking for permission to enter
the High school and take courses in
the newly installed departments Of
household arts and manual training.
The Board was of the opinion that the
benefits to be derived from instruction
along those lines should not be con-
fined to the school children alone,
! if it should be found possible to ex-
tend the scope of the work to include
those whose school days are now but a
memory. After carefully considering
the matter, the Board decided TO open
evening classes for adults in both the
household arts and manual training
departments, as soon as sufficient
number of applications are received to
make the formation of such classes
practicable. Students to the number
of twenty can be accommodated at one
time in the manual training room,
and sixteen pupils form the maximum
number in domestic science, but it
will not be necessary to delay the
opening until the complete number
OF students are enrolled. Should more
applications be received than can be
accommodated in one. class, two or
more will be formed.
AS the students in these courses will
be over the legal school age, it will be
necessary TO charge small tuition fee,
sufficient to cover the expense of light,
material, wear and tear on tools and
appliances, and teachers salaries. In
this way the cost will be betrayed by
the pupils and no additional expense
placed upon the township.
Miss Mildred c. Koehler and Walter
FL. Scott, the instructors in these de-
partments, are heartily in accord with
the action of the Board, and Will leave
nothing undone that will help to make
the evening classes a success
Persons who may desire to enroll in
these courses can secure full informa-
ton regarding tuition fees, etc., upon
application to Professor William C.
Sullivan.
The Board of Education feels that
it's action in endeavoring to increase
the usefulness of the schools and make
their benefits accessible to a larger
nnmber of people, cannot but meet
with the approval of the taxpayers of
the township, who have literally sup
ported the cause of education in the
past and are now reaping the benefit
of their expenditures.

A Big Task for a Big Church.

About twenty-five ministers and
laymen OF group of Methodist Episco-
pal churches in this county met in the
Mount Holly NJ. E. church, last Tues
day, for council on what plans to adopt
for carrying out the programme OF the
Methodist Episcopal church to raise
ten millions of dollars for the retired
preachers, their widows and orphans.
The meeting on Tuesday was presided
over by Rev. NJ. E. Snyder, superin-
tendent of Trenton district. Devotion
al services were conducted by Rev. 7.
,. Hammond, after which Rev. c. A.
heiley, OF Chicago, gave very mastery
address on THE Retired and Neglected
Minister. Rev. S. J. Greenfield, of
New York, special representative, re-
vealed the plans by which one of the
greatest things Methodism has under
taken shall be successfully completed,
VIZ: To raise ten million dollars for en-.
dowment to meet the needs of the
veteran preachers, their widows and
orphans. The Mount HollyIgroup of
the New Jersey conference will lovallv
do their part in the great task. In
each of the pulpits last SUNDAY morn.
ing the subject was presented bv the
pastors. This is big task but a big
church is undertaking it with an All.
mighty God back of it.
In response to the appeal of the
church the following programme was
adopted:
Sunday, October 80, Laymen are to
occupy the pulpits and make an ap-
peal for the care of the aged preacher.
November 5, at the monthly Com
munion service literature will be dis
tributed setting forth the plan and ask
ing the church to do for these servants
of the church what the Government,
the great railroads, and most all the
great corporations are doing for those
who have given years of service to them.
November II, pastors of the Method
list churches will exchange pulpits, and
every pulpit in this group will be &C.
cupied by another pastor.
November 10, the final day Of this
intensive campaign, all the members
of the churches will be asked to give to
this cause what they can in order that
the full amount desired may be fully
realized.

Judge Lippincott has done good
work in putting lawbreakers under the
care of the probation officer, as the
majority of the prisoners would rather
pay fine and have the thing done
with than to be watched by and be
compelled to report to the probation
officer. But there is q justice of the
peace in Yardley who has it all over"
Judge Lippincott in the matter of i'm
posing sentence. This justice had a
young man before him for beink drunk
and disorderly. The fellow was really
under suspension of sentence for a
similar offence and his case was to
have been settled in December. So
the Yardley justice Intercepted the
prisoner about what church, if any, he
attended, and the man said tie went to
the Epi eopal church when he attended
any, and further said, although rather
hesitatingly, that he liked to go to
church. So the justice said he would
try the religious cure on his prisoner,
and told him he was to go to the Epis-
copal church every Sunday morning
and must attend the mems bible class
of the Methodist church every Thurs
day evening until the December term
of court, and the way this sentence is
observed will have much weight wher
the man comes up for trial in Decem
Der.
