Old Country Town Out of Darkness
With New life

Old Country Town Out of Darkness
With New Life
The old town of Alloway, the CAPT
tol of Alloway Township, where Dem
ocrats and Apple Jack were the great
products the past hundred years, turn
ed on electric lights in the streets last
Tuesday night, to the establishment
of the old denizens who were raised
by candle lights and carried lanterns
when they went out doors. 1t was not
necessary for the old folks who were
trained from childhood to go put their
hands on what they wanted in the
dark, but the young folks wanted to
keep up with the fashion and not
make people believe they lived in the
backwoods when visitors came to
town.
A grand celebration was held in
Dunham's Hall, in which every man,
woman and child participated in the
eventful evening. 1t was at first plan
ned to hold a parade, but the weather
was too cold for outdoor exercises.
There was speechmaking, entertain
ment and refreshments in the hall,
which was taxed to its capacity.
One of those who watched with in
terest the turning on of the street
lights was Mrs. Mary H. Even, who
has reached her ninety-frst birthday.
She was born in Alloway and for
years navigated the streets at night
with a barn lantern and the aid of
kerosene lamps at some Of the prop
critics.
People have about decided that the
millennium is close at hand, because
of an incident to the illumination. As
far back as the oldest i~nhabitant a
remember the colored population has
been the smallest in the County, as a
negro "a usually given "a warm re-
ception' and life made rather miser-
able if an attempt was made to locate
here. The town, it is said, never bad
a colored resident; few even were m
ployed there, and to both young and
old it has been known that Galloway"
was no place for a negro that respect
ed his life"
In appreciation of their work and
effort to get wire strung for electric
service, the eight colored men of the
Electric Company were rendered a
chicken potpie dinner by the towns
people.
Summerill & McCloskey, the cleo
trical experts, of Penns Grove, have
been wiring the houses the past six
months and several were Illuminated
with lighting which old Ben Franklin
first brought to town.

THE CURSE OF ENGLAND"-A
WOMAN.

NXTHEN young Charles II of Eng
w land was a refugee in Holland,
after his father had been executed, a
stanch loyalist by the name of Roger
Palmer came 10 him with a large sum
Of money ana plans to gain the throne
for Charles. Palmer had a nineteen
gear-old wife. Barbara. At sixteen
She had an intrigue with a famous
rake and now threw herself directly, in
}he Path of Charles.
On May %, 1860, the king retul ned
In triumph to London by the efforts of
Palmer and other loyalists, He found
Barbara awaiting him and hurled
through the days ceremonies that he
might join her. Palmer was so strsng
a lOyalist that he surrendered his wife
10 Charles, and In reward was made
duke of Cleveland.
Barbara developed an Unsuitable
passion for wealth and gambling. She
was not ever true to the king but he,
a lazy cynic, looked on goOd-nature'1ly.
Her control over him and wild eNtfav-
agance gained her the lurid title The
Curse of England" 1t was she who
founded the fortune of the dueal house
of Marlborough, giving the first duke,
then a poor nobody, his start in life.
She bought him a place In the army,
where he afterward rose to be that
famous duke of Marlborough who won
for England such notable victories.
Historians of the day say that Bar
bsra often lost as much as 100000 in
q single evenings play, a fabulous sum
for that time.
Barbara was one Of the most beauti-
ful women of her time, with regal car
riage and seemingly perpetual youth,
She ruled the indolent Charles at will,
debating policies Of state, making or
running fortunes as her fancy chose.
She made powerful enemies, but as
long as her control endured over
Charles she cared little for the opinion
of others. 1t became dangerous for
her to go about the streets Of London,
80 great was the hatred against her,
and she adopted q royal style, travel
ing WIN
But the tickle Charles at last tired
of her and she saw his attention turned
to other ome One by one she out
witted them until France sent over
Louise de la Querouaille, a pretty little
vampire, with Instructions to sway
Charles in negotiations between the
two kingdoms. And Barbara lost her
tilt with Louise. -

"VAMPS" WHO

THE WOMAN WHO KILLED a
GENIUS.


A NY one in tie Ieast familiar with
n the writings Of Honore de Bal
zae, perhaps the greatest novelist OF
France. must have been stirred by the
white heat of his Imagination. just
conceive such a man at the age OF
thirty-three, ON the tide of his first sue
cess. lie was being acclaimed every
where. Letters poured in from admir-
ers. Among these was a simple mis-
siye signed The Stranger, mailed
from Odessa. A wOman had written II.
In this letter the unknown invited
Balzac to answer her through a news
paper advertisement. Eagerly he did
so. and soon another letter came. The
writer was Eveliua Hansfa, the young
wife of a man twenty-five years older
and mistress of a great fortress-like
castle In the Ukraine, Russia. II
burning words of Balzac drew her to
Eeufchatel. Picture to yourself how
both must have felt before and after
they met. She was tall, elegant, nigh
born. He was fat, short and not hand
some. He says himself that she drew
back astonnded when she saw him.
But it was not long until the woman
saw in the mans remarkable eyes the
genius which was his. They loved and
parted, she returning to her lonely
castle and he 10 endless work.
Certainly the love of Ealzac must
have beer a tribute which pleased the
fancy of Evelina Hanska. But her
heart seems to have been as cold as
her castle walls. The two correspond
ed, and she toyed with the great man
There was her husband, whom she
would not leave. Balzac aSsented and
saw her at %infrequent intervals over
a period of years.
For seventeen years BalZac's devo'
lion endured. Nine. Hanska's coquetry
was the great sorrow of his life. Then
the husband died. She wrote to him
and he went off to that bleak Russia
where she lived. Again there were
delays. She would promise nothing
He came back to Paris and after more
letters again started for Russia. II

his heart almost concealed by the cold,
And at last his evil genius consented
10 bestow upon him the happiness he
had sought so long. They were mar

But Balzac was neal the end. In
Dresden he fell seriously i'll. She went
out shopping and returned with a Won
frOus string Of pearls.
But Balzac rallied and they went on
TO Paris. There he had prepared a
rare home for her, filled with art treas-
ures. He, at least, was happier than
lie ever had been. She revealed in the
Paris shops. Five months later Bal
7ac died, a victim of the RUSSIAN cold

LEWIS WETZEL, DEATH WIND
OF THE DELAWARES"

Many of the great scouts did not
become Indian fighters until they were
men, but Lewis Wetzel started early.
He killed his first Indian when he was
only thirteen years old. Wetzel was
born in Virginia in 1852. His father
moved to the present site of Wheeling,
w. Va, and was killed there by the
Indians before the eyes of his sons.
Lewis swore eternal enmity against all
redskins.
One day while he and his brother
were roaming in the woods they were
attacked by Indians. Lewis killed one
of the savages and the next instant
was hit by a bullet which carried away
a piece of his breast bone. Both boys
were taken captive. That night while
the Indians slept, Wetzel worked
loose the thongs which bound himsand
then u%nfastened his brother.
After the boys had fed for about a
mile they discovered that their moe
casins were torn to shreds. Leaving
his brother in hiding, Lewis returned
to the Indian camp and, undeteeted by
the sleeping savages, robbed them of
two pairs of moccasins as well as a
gun and some powder and lead.
The next morning the Indians YER
hot on their trail and soon were close
upon them. AS the Indians ap
preached, the boys stepped u of the
trail into a clump of bushes, allowing
their pursuers to speed past, and then
they followed. Soon they heard the
Indians coming back and again they
stepped into the bushes and hid. The
Wetzel boys played this dangerous
game of h~ide-and-seek several times
before they finally eluded the savages
and returned In safety to their home.
When Lewis Wetzel grew older he
CROSSED over into Ohio and soon be-
came one of the ~best-known scouts in
the country.
Wetzel was called 1.-THE Death
Wind by the Delawares whom he
hated particularly. More than once a
Delaware warrior trembled with fear
as he heard a shrill, moaning cry echo
ing through the forest, for 1t usually
was followed 500 afterward by a shot
from the scouts deadly weapon which
ended the redskins life.
In his later years WetZel lost the
respect of many people because he be-
gan killing all Indians he met, whether
hostile or friendly, and several times
he was imprisoned for shooting mem
bers of peaceable tribes. In his last
days he became a lonely, bitter old
man until death came to him in 1903.

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
Woodstown's Recent Big Fire
Warns Citizens Something
Must Be Done

Better fire protection is on the lips
of every taxpayer of WoodstOwn and,
realizing this, members of Council
have been touring South Jersey and
other points inspecting the several
types Of apparatus. The recent $685.
900 fire at the Farmers Exchange has
awakened citizens to the fact that had
this fire been in the business section
u the town the loss might have been
much greater, and that the fire de-
partment is unable to cope with a
large conhagration because of the an
tique apparatus provided. Citizens
also realize that had it not been for
the assistance rendered by the Penns
Grove and Salem departments the en-
tire Exchange property would have
been destroyed.
Pilesgrove Township Committee is
endeavoring to devise a way to assist
the Borough in financing the purchase
of a pumper and chemical motor
trucks, so that the apparatus may be
used at the nearby farms if need be.
Why are holly and other greens
used at Christmas time?-C. NJ. C.
1t is generally conceded that some
of our Christmas customs gre snrvi-
walls of the earlier Roman Sa@enalian
festival. Holly, box, ivy, laurel and
bay adorned the Roman houses at this
time. It is true, however, that the
Druids kept a winter festival when
the priests sent sprigs of holly to each
rude Britain hut, partly as a peace
offering, partly as q reminder to dec
crate the home with it and thus en-
courage spirits to enter and drive
| away frosts and winter.

Tuesday night. While one drove
slowly through the edge of the

made their way from telephone
pole to telephone pole, uncere-

tearing therofrom the campaign
cards of, two candidates.
Investigation disclosed that the
cards removed were those Of A. $.

urer, and A. X. Ross, candidate
for state auditor, both running in
the democratic primary. No other
cards were molested.

later became curious and dtscov-
cred what they had been about.
Their identity and their reasons
for tearing off the cards of thesa
two candidates remains a mystery.
