Washington was Here


One hundred and forty-two years
ago Wednesday George Washington
was spending weekend" at
Coryell's Ferry, now Lambertville, and
sending message to Congress while
awaiting the complete crossing of the
American troops. The letter was ad-
dressed to the President of Congress,
and said:
"Coryell's Ferry, Jersey,
July 80, 1777.
"Sir,-I do myself the honor to in
form you that 1 arrived here on the
twenty eight, at night, with Gen.
Greene's division, one brigade of
which passed the river that evening,
that the whole might encamp more
commodiously. Gen. Stephen, with his
own and Lincoln's division, also ar
rived little time after at Howell's
Ferry, four miles, above this. l have
the homer to be, etc, G. W."
The Howell's Ferry referred to is
now Stockton, and the village of Head
quarters is reputed to be place
where Washington stopped on one or
more occasions. At any rate, the
troops that crossed at Howells Fer
ry unquestionably passed through
Headquarters as that road would lead
to the York road near Larison's Cor
ner. These roads split at Lahaska,
on the Pennsylvania side, the division
extending a total distance of about
twelve miles. According to the his
torians the troops were often divided
up between these two points in order
that they might cross the Delaware
more rapidly at the two ferries than
at one alone.
One hundred and forty-two years
ago yesterday the troops had all ar
rived at the river, and crossed, start
ing on down the York road toward
Philadelphia. General Washington
sent his message from this place to
the President of Congress on that
date, saying:
CoryelPs, July 81, 10 A. M
"Sir,-I am this moment honored
with yours of five o'clock this morn
ing, and have accordingly set the
army in motion. One division had
crossed the Delaware the day before
yesterday; and l am in hope that the
whole of the troops now here will be
able to reach Philadelphia tomorrow
evening. Lord Sterling's division
lies just in my rear, and will move
with US. l propose setting off for
your city as soon as can get the
chief part of the army over. l am
with the greatest respect, ETC., G. W.
Washington afterward wrote Con-
gress from this place on June %
1878, on a return trip from Phila-
delphia.

.AVIATORS HELD
 FOR RANSOM
Mexicans Threaten to Kill Both Officers Unless Paid S15,00O Gold Today Officers Have Been Missing Week.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 17-Letters purporting to be from Lieutenants Paul H. Davis and Harold G. Peter son, American army aviators missing since Sunday, were received here to- day at military headquarters.
 The letters stated the aviators were being held by bandits for $15,000 ran- som somewhere in Mexico and were threatened with death unless the ran- som was paid, according to the letters.
 A report was made at once to Major Dickman commander of the southern department.
 An unconfrmed report was also re- ceived here that the aviators were being held at a point close to the American border and that Chico Cano, famous bandit of the Big Bend-O Oji- naga district, was the leader of the bandit band holding the aviators.
 The whereabouts of the bandit ren- dezvous, from which the. American location of the bandits camp by air. planes would be almost impossible as there are many box canyons in which they could hide without being detected from the air by the Mexican cavalry troops searching for them.

They must establish either the truth of the charge they made or that it was fair comment within the meaning of the term"
 When you consider the term 'an an- archist' consider what you honestly believe the average reader would get from the article. You cannot tell what some individual might get, to a certainty, of course. The best thing the jury can do is determine from their experience in life and the testi- mony in the case what the average reader would get from it."
 The court further instructed the jury that the testimony offered to prove that the Tribune was actuated in it's clamor for war with Mexico by ul- terior motives on account of interest which relatives of the owners held in Standard Oil and International liar. vester and that the Tribune was play ing Germany's game, was not conclu- sive and that neither charge was to be considered.

FORD VICTORIOUS
 IN LIBEL SUIT
Jury Wipes Out Stigma of "An Anarchist" and Chicago Tri- bune Guilty-CrOwds Cheer When Decision is Rendered.

Mt. Clemens, Mich, Aug. 14.-Hen- ry Ford Is not an anarchist. A jury which for three months has listened to the accusations turned against the great manufacturer, said by their yer 1 dict Thursday night that when the Chi cago Tribune printed its famous edi- torial Ford An Anarchist" 1t commit ted libel.
 we find for the plaintiff in the case" said the foreman of the jury which has been wrestling with the problem for ten hours and ten min- utes. The award to Henry Ford, a nominal verdict of six ents, was a om- pletc vitory, as great as had been hoped for. It accomplished one thing which MT. Ford has soght, the clear ing of his name and at the same time the reasoning of the paper which at- tempted to stigmatize him. Outside the courthouse where the famous trial hes been going on for so many weeks, a great crowd gathered in the evening hours to wait for the verdict. The wait was soon rewarded for the jury which has been out since morning re- ported at 8:10 that they had arrived at an agreement.
 The moment the news of the verdict was flashed outside the building the crowd broke into cheers and band which the townspeople had hidden somewhere in anticipation of such a moment, broke forth. On behalf of MT. Ford, Alfred J. Murphy of his counsel issued the following state ment: "The jury has determined the issue. MT. Ford stands vindicated. The money damages are entirely sab- ordinate and were not sought by MT. Ford. He stands not only vindicated but his attitude as an American citi- zen has been justified after a trial which raised every issue against him that ingenuity and research could pre- sent. His friends are entirely satis- fed"
 Judge Fuckers charge to the jury was lengthy and contained many QOliI6 Ol lAtOI CoJ LII tlO AQW Ol llOOh and on the length to which newspa- per may go in commenting on public or private characters. The Chicago Tribune editorial, the court declared, as 1t appeared in the paper and stand ing by itself was libelous and the pub lication or circulation of any such l- bel presumes malice.
 "The Tribune," said the court, claims that they carefully inquired as to what MT. Ford's attitude was going to be as to the care of his men who joined the national guard and that they decided the editorial characteriz- ing him as an anarchist on that infor- nation. They admit the publication and insist that it was true and there fore justified, and that even if not true it was fair comment on matter of public interest, either of which de- lenses are sufficient, if proven"
 "The burden, however, Is upon the defense when they attempt to make either of the defensss mentioned.

spiritual movements that have lifted the world. Why is pray CT the secret of initiative and originality? Because it carries the intercessor back to God, the source of all initiative and originality. What original research is to the scientist, prayer is to the Christian leader. In all Christian his tory, there is the place where visions are born and superhu- man strength is found. This hour, when so many millions are in need of God and men are thinking in larger terms than ever before, surely is the time to hear the voice of God.
 The whole course of the spiritual history of Method ism for the next fifty years may be determined by the re- sponse to this bold and daring Centenary challenge. More tragic than not to receive the millions of dollars asked for would be the tragedy of not coming into fresh, vital fellow ship with Christ. The human pivot on which victory will turn will not be a method or a plan or an organization or a trained staff of workers, but on the volume and quality of the spiritual devotion put into the program. Therefore, let us mobilize the spiritual forces of our church. This is the heart cry of the Great Com mander.
 l call on you as your pastor, to enlist in the armies of inter- cessors. This is the hope of victory. Press into and release the measureless resources Of the inexhaustible God Here alone are energies adequate to quicken the church and revital- ize the world. Let every mem- Der of the church enroll and enlist others in the fellowship of intercession until the voice of God shall be carried to the remotest corner of the Metho- dist Church. It is a call to a new crusade.
 Will you follow to the limit and beyond? God help that you may.

Weekly Health Talks a WORD ABOUT THE k,pNEys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they think something is the matter with their lungs or heart, and we'll they may be; but few people understand Inc dangers of diseased kidneys. These organs have duty of vital importance to perform, and if they are diseased, there is no telling how or where the symptoms may appear. The kidneys are filters, and when they are healthy they remove the poisons from the blood and purify it. When the kidneys are diseased, the poisons are spread every where, and one of these poisons is uric acid. The uric acid is carried all through the system and deposited in various places, in the form of urate salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and back - often forming bags under the eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica and backache. Finally, come stone in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's disease.
 Dr. Hs'e, of Buffalo, '. T., in recent years, a..covered that | ce. tain com bination of remedies would dissolve uric acid (urate salts) in the system. He found this combination to be harmless, 50 that he made it up in tablets, 5f double strength, and called them Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric acid in the human system as hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in the drug stores. You can write Dr. Pierce, too, and he will tell you what to eat and how to live so that more uric acid will not form in your system. Dr. Pierce will not charge for this advice.
