PHILATHEA.

About twenty-five members of the
Philathea Society enjoyed a very
pleasant meeting at the w. NJ. Car
Isle home Monday evening, when
they were entertained by the Misses
louise Carlisle and Laura Barhite.
The business meeting was held
first, when it was moved that the
Society be hereafter known as the
Westminster Guild, and that the old
;harter be replaced BY one of the new
order. Plans were also discussed for
securing new emblem pins and sug-
sestions made for some excitement
n the near future. At the next meet
ing we expect to hear some definite
,lans from our pep" committee, and
hope that all the members may be
here to hear about it.
Mrs. Hoyer, our leader, was un-
usually full of interesting stories
relative to the. lesson, and made the
study hour most beneficial as we'll
AS enjoyable one. We wish to an
nounec that this particular phase of
the meeting is not one to be avoided,
as really some very witty remarks
and theories are advanced, for in

SION being SO long-lived was because

The social hour was most interest
ing also, as some unusual talent was
displayed along the lines Of sculptor
ing, some very life-like animals were
made from stick Of Yucatan.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed at the end of the evening, and we
believe that our new Westminster
Guild will be truly lively affair.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Miss Eva McDermott,
the last Monday in February. Ev-
erybody come.

points. Preceding the boys game,
the Dunlap girls defeated the Wood

FRASER APPEALS CASE.

John Fraser, who some days ago,
while driving team, on Fourth
street, made jay drivers turn into
Erie street and collided with the au-
tomobile of George Colver, damaging
the fender and lamp of the car.
Colver was willing to settle with
Fraser if he would pay the damage
caused by his neglect to observe the
rules of the road. Fraser refused to
acknowledge his fault, and Mr.. Col
yer preferred charges against him.
After hearing the facts in the case,
Mayor Pike fined Fraser ten dollars
and costs. The case has been appeal
ed and will come up in the district
court.
1t is surprising that more accidents
do not take place on our streets, al

who either do not know or will not OBJ
serve the common courtesies Of the
