Spanish War Hero

Frank Miller, of Ewanville, last week
attended national convention OF the
Veterans of Foreign Wara, being one
of the delegates from New Jersey.
The convention was held at Provi-
dence, R. l.
Mr.. Miller must have attracted at
tention in the convention city, as he
was the subject of an article, published
in the Providence News of August
goth, as follows:
Zone of the quiet delegates in atten-
dance at the encampment is real
hero of the Spanish war, nevertheless.
He is Engineer Frank Miller of Mount
Holly, N. ]. Mr.. Miller was the en-
gineer in charge of the engine room of
the Merrimac when Hobson sunk that
vessel at the entrance of the harbor of
Santiago de Cuba in an effort to pre-
vent the Spanish fleet from leaving
that harbor. Much has been said
and written about the men who
manned the deck of the Merrimac.
They were entitled to all the praise
they received. But what of the silent
unobtrusive men of the engine and
fire rooms who performed their duty
fearlessly, although unable to see what
was happening on deck and in the
harbor? During those trying mo-
ments while Hobscn was manoeuvering
to sink his vessel in the right place
and the guns of Moro Castle were belle
ing forth tons of lead at the brave
Americans bent upon desperate I'M
dertaking, Engineer Miller remained
at the throttle of his engine, waiting
for the word from Captain Hobson to
bring the vessel to a stop. Engineer
Miller is also veteran of the Philip
pine and China campaigns. He is
the proud possessor of a Congressional
medal and another awarded him by
the'late President Mckinley.

Community Service Notes

The Lincoln Club neighborhood
meeting Sunday night on the Lincoln
Club lawn was a notable occasion.
The singing by the Mt. Moriah and st.
Paul augmented choirs was unusually
good and the exercises ended with
concert by delegation from Trenton
Community Choral Society. The diff
ferent speeches by local friends, includ-
ing members of the Y. W. C. A, were
very happily received. T. c. Will
liams, assistant principal of Borden
town Industrial Institute for Colored
People, made notable address, both
in its form and substance and was i'm
mensely enjoyed. He spoke on loyal
ty-loyalty both to the nation and to
the community and to the work Of
neighborhood improvement. We hope
to have Mr. Williams with US again.
The twenty-five service men from
Camp Dix who were brought down
from camp in automobiles, were given
a bounteous supper on the lawn. The
lbs people who gathered were greatly
stirred and pleased with the entire
affair. The Matron, Mrs. Ross, was in
general charge, making everybody
happy and at ease.
There are many boys still in the ser
vice who are eagerly awaiting discharge
or the completion of their term of ser
vice. Many of these boys are~.more
homesick and lonely than ever. Some
times they come into the club asking
il we cannot send them to some place
where they can find the home touch,
We should be very glad to know Of
people, who, having served SO much il
the past are still willing to do some
thing for these homesick boys. Doubt
less there are many people who, i
they were at home and knew of SOM
such case, would gladly put on an ex
ira plate on the Sunday dinner tabl
and welcome stranger. We would b
very glad to have the telephone ad
dress of any one SO minded, so tina
1 when call comes we could use tn
telephone and find out if without cor
: venience or extra work the boys couI
be entertained. Will you not call tn
: Soldiers Club, 55s w. and let us pr
your name on the hospitality list?

Base Ball

Mount Holly went to Pemberton.
Saturday, and came home with the
score marked against them. No use
saying the umpire robbed US, but he
did make glazing mistakes-perhaps
ne did not know any better-when
they counted against Mount Holly. If
there is any town that is base ball
crazy it is Pemberton., Always a
good attendance at the games and the
sporting element is always in evil
dence. 1t is said that it is this por-
ton of the community that pays the
pitcher $25 game. That he is paid
that sum is correct if the word of one
man can be taken for he told us on
Saturday that he helped foot the bill.
But pitcher does not always win a
game. Before he went into the box,
Saturday, it was boastfully reported
of him that he had pitched 27 innings
with only eight hits against him.
There was different song to sing af-
ter the game as Mount Holly touched
him for six hits in nine innings.
Pemberton went wild when it |
scored its first run. Stone, Mount
Holly's pitcher, passed man and he
was able to get home. The hopes of
the local team were dampened later
when Mount Holly showed three runs
to their credit but Pemberton evened |
this up and in the ninth inning made |
a home run which won the game. |
The umpire behind the pitcher aided |
on two occasions. In one instance a |
Pemberton batter hit the ball down |
the first base line and when Stonet
tried to get it to head off a runner at |
the home plate the Pemberton man
deliberately blocked him. The UNI
pire declared the batter out for inter |
fering with the fielder but, inconsis- |
tently, allowed the run, made possible |
by the interference, to count. He
should have sent that runner back to |
third. Then came the home run Incl |
dent and while it was perfectly plain |
that the ball went foul the umpire |
said fair and that settled it, Pember-
ton needed the run.
Following is the score:

Trust Co. at Seaside Heights


Another striking evidence of the
rapid development that is taking place
at Seaside Heights and in the territory
lying adjacent to it, is the fact a
trust company is being organized to
handle the great mass of business that
is accommodating in that locality.
The new banking establishment
will be known as the Seaside Heights
Trust Company, and will be located
at Seaside Heights. One thousand
shares are to be issued, each having a
par value of 800, and are to be sub
scribed for at $12O, the object of the
additional $50 share being to provide
for building fund and an equipment
fund.
The number of shares that any one
person may buy is limited for the
present to ten. This move is made in
order to secure the largest possibl,
number of shareholders.
The charge of the trust company''
organization is in the hands of DR.
Theo. Kharas, who is said to be meet
ing with gratifying success.

Joseph ]. White began his work. At
the age of 20 years the latter began
to study the cranberry and to endeavor
to improve the fruit so that instead
of its being merely local commodity
it would become Worldwide neces-
sity. How he has succeeded is known
to all Mr.. White wrote a book on the
subject and the result was that he was
sought by growers from all sections
of the country who wanted his advice.
From the small beginnings of his early
days he can now look with satisfac-
ton over 600 acres of cultivated berry
land. And cranberry men in many
sections acknowledge the value of his
work in aiding them.
Miss Elizabeth White, who is one Of
the heads of "Whitesbog," gave some
interesting details of the production
and care of the berries. For the las

and others a proposition to buy the
Evan lumber yard property on WASH
ington street, for community recrea-
ton park. The tract, with an ad-
joining lot, comprises over ten acres of
land. The absence of an athletic
field here has brought about the dis
cussion of the purchase of some field
for that purpose, and the central To-
cation of the property above named
has brought it favorable mention.
No details of financing the proposition
have been made known as yet except
that the principal part of the burden
is to be carried by the township by
placing insLalmsnts of the cost on the
tax budget each year.
