Soldiers and Sailors.

The New Jersey Soldiers and Sail
ors' League has been requested by the
Colonies of the different New Jersey
regiments to provide 5000 pillow slips
and six thousand eiderdown Jackets
for the comfort of the soldiers. The
part allotted to P~leasantville and vi
cin1ty are cut and ready for the nee
die. Our women are requested to
make them for the boys. No expense
is attached to the work. The Colonies
have asked for them by the 18th of
October.
The officers of the League know
that it is only necessary to publish
this request to obtain willing workers.
Any soldier from Pleasantville or
vicinity who is not already supplied
with knitted sleeveless jacket, scarf
and mittens, can apply to the League
and it will be delighted to furnish
them.
Mrs. White, the County President
of the League, is arranging to send a
box of marmalade, old fashioned pre-
serve and firm fruit jellies to France
for our soldiers in the trenches. All
housewives who are willing to help,
send the boys this dainty, are request
ed to send a jar or two to Headquar-
tiers, or to Mrs. Robt. M. Willis, 40 E.
Verona Ave, or to Mrs. H. L. Harley,
% E. Washington Ave, or to Mrs. H.
R. McClelland, % E. Washington Ave,
as oon as convenient. Ordinary can

be something solid and thick that will
not spill nor spoil when opened.
The next meeting of the League will
be held on Thursday, Sept. 9th, and a
cordial invitation is extended to sew
ers and knitters. There is a good sup

TESTIMONIAL BANQUET
FOR SOLDIER BOYS
Municipal Republican League
Gives ROusing SendOff to Its
Drafted Members.
AN ENJOYABLE OCCASION.

A delightful affair was given at the
Hotel Rodney on Wednesday evening
under the auspices of the Municipal
Republican League of Pleasantville,
when a testimonial banquet was ten
dered to the local boys who had been
called to report at Wrightstown this
week. After enjoying the eats, many
appropriate talks were made. Assem-
blyman Bertram E. Whitman acted as
POSTMASTER, and called in turn upon
Senator Emerson L.. Richards, E. Le-
Roy Adams, Arthur H. Stiles, Japhet
Price, Charles M. Chattle, Nehemiah
Andrews, Reuben E. Adams, Eugene
Swilkey, Albert E. James, DR.. H. C.
Munro, Prof. Robert D. Maltby, S. E.
Whitman, Stanley G. Drinkwater, Ed.
T. Stephenson and Burr Thomas. At
the close of his address, Senator Rich
ards presented to E. Leroy Adams a
wrist watch as a token of apprecia-
ton by the League for his services as
Secretary since its organization. Roy
made a feeling and fitting response,
though he declared speaking to be out
of his line of business.
During the evening the drafted men
were called upon to give their opinion
of the situation. Stanley Drinkwater
responded in a few we'll chosen words,
saying that they all fully appreciated
the reception given in their behalf,
and as eager as they had been to re-
spond to the eats just as eager would
they be to respond to the call for duty
in defense of home, flag and country.
Burr Thomas caused a laugh when
he said he knew little about war, but
that if it is any worse than politics
he wants but little to do with it.
Among those present were: Senator
Emerson L. Richards, Assemblyman
Bertram E. Whitman, Arthur H. Stiles,
Japhet Price, Eugene Swilkey, Wilbur
w. Adams, Peter Cerruti, Solomon
Sampson, Reuben E. Adams, Charles

While Francis Scott Keys "Star
Spangled Banner is now generally
recognized as the national anthem OF
the United States, there are those
who prefer the sturdy American spir-
it which breathes in the first of the
republics great patriotic songs, JOS
eph Hopkinson's Hail, Columbia
The latter was composed in 1898, six
teen years before '"The Star Spangled
Banner" and it was considered the
national anthem for years after Keys
song was written,
Hail, Columbia" was first sung in
public at a benefit given at the Chest
nut Street theatre in Philadelphia
for a young actor and singer named
Fox. This affair was staged on April
rs, 1898, just 119 years ago today.
Joseph Hopkinson, the author, was a
Philadelphia lawyer, the son of Fran
els Hopkinson, also a distinguished
lawyer and jurist. The father had
gained fame as a poet by writing
''The Battle of the Kegs" and the son
inherited his poetic gifts. Fox, the
actor, was a friend of young Hop
kinson, and he appealed to him to
write song to be sung by Fox at
his benefit. Answering to this ap-
peal, Mr.. Hopkinson wrote Hail, Co
lumbia!" It was received with great

appearing in at Keeney's Empire thea

plays released by Metro in some time.
The story of this Metro wonderfully is
of a young girl who is lured Into mar

rests with her. She chooses the right

popular.
In an account of the song, the
author wrote that it was composed
at time when a war with France
was thought to be inevitable, Con-
gress being then in session in Phila-
delphia celebrating upon that impor-
tant subject, and acts Of hostility hav-
ing actually occurred. The contest
between England and France was
raging, and the people of the United
States was divided into parties for the
one side or the other, some thinking
that policy and duty required us to
take part with republican France, as
she was called; others were for our
connecting ourselves with England
under the belief that she was the
great preservative power of good prin-
ciples and safe government. The
prospect of a rupture with France
was exceedingly offensive to the por-
ton of the people which espoused
her cause, and the violence of the
spirit of party has never risen high

that time on that question:
