our young people into the field OF

OF this number 160,625 accounted
for products valued at 100000,

Centenary M. E. Church Notes.

The special Revival services

The special thank offering to
defray expenses of the meetings
was nearly one hundred dollars

there is a balance it will be
placed in the general treasury of
the cnurcn.
The session of the New Jersey
Annual Conference will convene
in Ocean Grove on March IL, and
the pastor and official board of
centenary are busy closing up

the Sunday school attendance

church are-in splendid condition.
These results are due to the fine
team work of the Centenary
people.

Memorial Meeting.

A meeting to discuss ways
and means for properly memoir
izing the deeds of local soldiers
Ill the recent war was held in
the Lambertville Presbyterian
Church last evening, with Mayor
Theodore Balderston presiding.
The consensus of opinion was
that a memorial building wJ1ld
be most appropriate, while it
was suggested that either new
school building, or an addition
to the front of the present High
School be made, with suitable
bronze tablets containing tie
names of all the men in service.
Mayor Balderston's suggc t.
ion was for a building on the
city lot on York street, as prev
iously announced, the funds to
be raised by popular subscfipt-
ion. He made it clear, however.
that it was only a suggestion,
ana CndC Cne purpose OF The
meeting was to offer suggestions
and means.
Supervising Principal J. H.
Herring, of the Lambertville
Schools, made an eloquent plea
for memorial building, with
gymnasium and other features,
and was upheIu in this view by
several other citizens who spoke
briefly upon the subject.
A proposition to have the city
build the structure at public ex-
pense was also made by one or
two people.
The meeting finally adjourn
ed to meet at the call of the
chairman, Mayor Balderston.

To improve Stockton ROsemont
Road.

An additional $1,000, making
a total of $4,000, was voted for
the improvement of the Stock
ton-Rosemont road at Saturdays
meeting of the Delaware Town
ship committee, after a spirited
argument concerning it's merits.
Two Committeeman voted for
the appropriation, and one voted
against it.
Zeph C. Drumm, of the Rose
mont Poultry Hatchery, who has
been leading the fight for this
read for months past, appeared
before the committee and asked
for definite action at this meet
ing, stating that mass meeting
of local citizens would be held
at Rosemont in the evening, and
they were awaiting either
favorable or unfavorable de-
cision before deciding upon
action.
1t was set forth that the pro-
posed improvement would ex-
tend from Stockton borough to
Rosemont postoffice, a distance
of about one and three-tenth
miles, and that the original cost,
under the Herrick act, was ex-
pected to be $4,000, of which the
state and township contributed
equal parts. 1t has since been
decided by the state that they
will contribute to no road unless
the total appropriation amounts
to $4,000 for each mile, so that
unless the additional money was
appropriated, the improvement
must stop short either at Stock
ton or Rosemont.
Mr.. Drumm pledged himself
and associates to raise funds for
any expenses above the $4,000
asked jointly from the township
and the state, if the cost should
overrun these figures. Cyrus
J. Bissey, a prominent Rosemont
farmer, also spoke in favor of
the appropriation. 1t is expected
that the work will be done late
the coming summer.
The committee took no fur
Their action on the previous
appropriation of $4,000 toward
one mile of improvement-on the
road leading from Stockton to
Sand Brook and the Neshanic
creek at the Raritan township
line, it being understood that
the $4,000 was all could be Sc
cured from the state this year,
anyway.

ONE OF GREATEST WRITERS
Ben Jonson Ranks in English History
Second Only to the Immortal
Shakespeare.

Ben .Jonson occupied promi-
aent position on the British parnas-
gus. Herrick said of his wit that we
should husband it, for, should 1t
come to an end, the world would
have no more. Yet his words are
little read, because there is some
hing of roughness or boldness in his
,tvle for readers who read poetry for
recreation, rather than critically.
His was a prolific muse his pen was
seldom still. Much of his writing is
lost, and yet his surviving works are
goluminous. Dramatic composition,
some plays and most of his prose
have passed into oblivion, yet there
still remains some twenty plays,
about forty Mosques, book of cpl
grams, epistles, translations and an
unfinished English grammar, writ
ten in English and Latin.
In his early youth he followed the
trade of bricklayer, which he tells
us he could not endure, SO he joined
the army in Flanders. He sickened
of the sword and returned home.
bringing with him the reputation Of
a brave man, a smattering of Dutch,
and an empty purse. 1t was then
that his early education, he being
Westminster and Cambridge man,
stood him in good stead. He began
to write for the stage. After the
death of Shakespeare, he retained
undisputed possession of the high
est poetic eminence and was made
poet-laureate by King James.

MINING sPITz6EReEN COAL.

Swedes are working coal mines IN
Spitzbergen with success, it is re-
ported from Stockholm. Eighty-fve
miners are at work and production
per month of 1000 metric tons is es-
timated for this year. For 1919 an
output of 10000 is hoped for, and
for 1920 the expectation is 10000.
1t is expected that Sweden will OBJ
tain 5000 metric tons from Spitz-
bergen before winter begins, and an
ice breaker is being built in Norway
to keep a sea channel open in cold
weather. The coal is reported to be
inexhaustible in quantity, with veins
three feet thick, and to be of good
quality. In Sweden it is believed
that Spitzbergen will soon be an I'M
portant source of fuel supply.

COACH IS WORTH PRESERVING
Known to Have Ridden, 6rought
to Light.

"What will they do with the La
fayette coach?" was the casual ques-
ton asked recently when it was
talked of tearing down the old sheds
in the rear of Trinity church at Ge-
neva. 1t was thus learned that such
an historic relic had been hidden un-
der cobwebs for many years.
This carriage was built by Henry
Brewster of New York over 100
years ago and brought to Geneva by
Henry De Zeng when he came there
to settle. So far as is known, this
was the only carriage in western
New York, outside of Rochester.
1t was in the summer of 1925 that
General Lafayette visited Geneva.
He had been the guest of the cele-
brated lawyer, Mr.. Gregg, in Can
andaigua and it was from there that
he was taken by this carriage to &C.
neva, from there to Auburn, SYRIA
cuse, Utica, etc. 1t was drawn by
six white horses and was accompa-
MED by outriders. Occupying the
coach besides General Lafayette
were his son and secretary. The
coach was afterward returned to its
owner in Geneva and its last public
appearance was at the centennial of
the city, about ten years ago, when
it carried Mr.. Keppler, a pioneer
over one hundred years old.-Buf-

About ten people in New Hope

to equip the troop. They need
forty more subscribers.
Lambertville asks for 1000
contributions of 25 cents per
week for her work in giving re-
creation to the youth of the city.

ask less than is voluntarily

with the letters L. S. v. and license
tag 1851 issued in 1917, indicating that
the car was used for an entire year
