THE SOCIETY. Sons of St.

George Outing. The Liberty Cornet Band has been engaged to accompany the moonlight excursion which will be given tomorrow evening under the auspices of Rudyard Kipling Lodge, No. 446, Sone of St. George.

On last Friday afternoon while a young 1naD from the Third ward was on his way to the carpet mill to draw his wages, no was held up by two young men at the canal locks, opposite the freight station, who demanded of him sufficient money to purchase a box of beer. A refusal to comply with the demand brought on an encounter in which oDe of the footpads was considerably used up. The police heard of the affair and wore anxious to begin an investigation, but the young man who was hold up refused to prosecute the miscreants and the matter has apparently been dropped.

Tuesday, 14-Progressive hearts, eight o'clock. Mies Louise Doron and Miss Sara Buckman in charge.

Misses Louise Doron, Elizabeth Nickelson, Sara Buckman and Helen Worstall in charge. A Pedigreed Organization. For many years a section in Bristol in the Fourth ward has been known by the porcine appellation of "Hamtown." There have been Hamtown and Hamtown organizations of all kinds which have endured for a season or two, but the "Hamtown Sociali1 is an exclusive organization that for 8 generation has held sway and promulgated its dictums that are closely observed by the patricians of the region.

A recurring event with the Social organization is the annual strawride which take place this year on Saturday evening, August 1st. Those who are fortunate enough to be favored with the prized invitations will be taken to Newportville, where Landlord Dugan will entertain in his best style at the historic hotel in the village. For sixteen years the Hamtown Social has given its strawrides and the arrangements which have been mado for the year it is claimed, will top em all. Grundy's Annual Exoursion. The arrangements are now complete for the annual excursion by the employees of the Bristol Worsted Mille to Atlantic Oity on Saturday, Auguat 8th.

The having the matter in charge met with no end of trouble in making arrangements and for a time it looked as if no excursion could be run. The Penneylvania Railroad Company refused positively to enter into agreement for a special train and when an the Reading Railroad Company wan approached it refused to grant a special rate from Camden. Arrangements were Anally made with the latter company, buc the regular fare of $1 per bead from Camden will have to be paid. When it came to engaging the boat to carry the excursionists between Bristol and Camden, it was found that it had been chartered for an excursion to Burlington Island Park on that day. The matter was finally adjusted by the committee agreeing to leave bere at An earlier hour in the morning and returning from Atlantic Olty at a later hour in the evening.

The price of tickets has been pluced at $1.25 and unless the excursion is well patronized the receipts will not cover the expenditures. Under existing stunces it is very evident that this will be the only excursion from Briatol to Atlantie Oity this year. the I BRISTOL INDUSTRY. PRESIDENT OF BRISTOL SCHOOL BOARD MAKES A VISIT ro CORUNA KID COMPANY'S BIG L'LANT. Recently John K.

Wildman, President of the Brietol School Board, minds a visit to the big plant of the Corona Company, where colt skins imported from Russia, are made into patent leather that has won fame throughout the United States. Doubtless wishing to acquaint the people other sections of the county with the importance of the interesting industry Mr. Wildman wrote the following descriptive letter to the Doylestown Republican: Editor of The -Among the industrial enterprises rocently established here is that of the Corona Kid Company for the manatactaro of polisbed leather from colt skins. The company is incorporated under the laws of Massachusetta. Through the kindness and courtesy of Mr.

Olifford L. Anderson, superintendent and vice president, I had the privilege of visiting the factory a few days ago, and was surprised at its magnitude and splendid equipment. Every feature of the establishment gives an impression of the completeness of the system for carrying on a great modern industry. From a small beginning the business bag grown into proportions of great extent and volume. The company owns a level tract of ffty acres of land in the northwestern section of the town on which the buildings are located.

These are all of brick except the four warehouses, which are of wood The main building is six hundred and fifty feet long by sixty in width, und the three "L'e' are two hundred feet by sixty, inclosing a hollow square, out of which the huge chimney rises to a great height, and where the big tank stands on its mighty iron stilts, having a capacity for tifty thousand gallons of water, From the tank pipes extend into every building, which are arranged with nutomatic sprinklers for extinguishing possiblo fires. Tho boiler and engines are on 24 scale suitably adapted to the dimensions of the buildings. The compuny has its own electrical equipment, and twonty private telephones are located at convenient points to serve their essential neod. Nine-tenths of the production of' the fuctory represents tanned and Anished colt skins; one-tenth goat skins. The colt skins are all imported from Russia.

The Russians cook and eat the fosh of the young and tender colts, probably considering it a luscious table delicacy. They cure the skins thoroughly and send them to this country, where they are first tanned and then passed through A variety of processes in their transformation into glossy footwear. The tannery of the Corone Kid Compuny is located at Oamden, New Jersey, from which place, after being properly and carefully tanned, the skins are sent to Bristol. Each skin is handled fifteen times, since there are ffteen departments or processes through which they all pass, beginning with the extracting plant for the removal of surplus grease; subjected to a thorough baking in the extensive ovens; going through alt the varied manipulutions and Anally reaching the last but not least important link in the chain of evolution, the sun-drying process. The bake ovens are conspicuous features of the establishment, occupying great spaces in the buildings, and capable of baking eight hundred dozen skins in a single day.

Ten acres of the company's land are used for the sun-drying of the skins. This 18 a highly essential process in the finishing stage of the business, and surprising us it may seem, u8 maDy 88 eighteen thousand skins can be sunned nt one time. The factory has turned out 5400 finished skins in a single day, which is equivalent to 1,620,000 a year. Its full capacity is even greater than these startling figures indicate, for it is capable of seven hundred dozen skips daily. This etupendous production of a single factory, the seat of an induetry for the conversion of colt skins into fine, polisbed leather, naturally fills the mind with something akin to wonder, and turns one's thoughts to the vast plains of Russia and Siboria, where we might infer that young autumnal leaves, 11 colts flourish "thick as In the several processes through which the skins pass they are securely fastened to large wooden frames by means of twine and tacks, and forty thousand of these frames attract the eye at every turo in the through the buildings.

A8 AD passage illustration of the extent of this particular division of the work it may be added that about a ton and a half of tacks are used in a moath. The factory employs four hundred to four hundred and fifty men and boys. About one-fourth of this force are boys between the ages of fourteen and sixteen yeare. The pay roll represents the disbursement of three thousand to thirtythree hundred dollars a week. All the finished product of the factory is cased and sent to Boston, which hub from which radiates the commercial functions of the industry--an industry that requires intelligence and ability in its management as well as capable supervision.

William Powell, a licensed dentist and manager of the business, were convicted before Judge Beitler in Quarter Sessions Court No 2, Philadelphia, last week, of conspiracy to employ students were not licensed dentists and were sentenced to one year and three months respectively. Conrtwright got the heavier sentence because be made evasive answers while under the examination of Assistant District Attorney Kendrick. The cross-examination by Distriot Attorney Kendrick of both brought to light by their testimony that there were employed by the company seven licensed dentists and nine unlicensed students. An old wife, much troubled by her husband's drunken habits, decided to play the "ghost" upon bim one dark night, while he was on the way home from the inn. The conspirator rose in a white sheet from behind the hedge.

"Wha are cried the caddie. "I'm Auld Nick," WAB the reply. "Gie's 8 shake o' yer band, then," exclaimed the tipsy man. 'I'm married tae a sister o' yours.

"And this is the girl," said papa, sadly, "whose graduation essay was 'An appeal for higher standards of thought and UP.

a Quiet Fourth In Bristel. The 'celebration of Fourth of July in Bristol was a mild affair, there being no organized demonstration of any kind and what "rackety" enthusiasm there was was furmished principally by the small boy with his stock of firecrackers and torpedoes which were purchased from the saving of weeks. The town presented a deserted air. The mills were closed for the day and the stores were all closed by noon and handreds of people left the borougb for the day. Trolley parties were in vogue many went picnicing while others listened to the Scotch melodies as rendered by the Kilties band at Willow Grove.

Some scurried to the shore and others there were who sought the seclusion of the country. In the evening the Breworks display was of the usual individual order. A large crowd gathered on Mill street-to witness the explosion of Are crackers in front of Lem Wong's Chinese laundry. A rope containing 80,000 crackers furnished great amusement. A number of accidents were reported during the day.

Roy Wood, a Trenton visiting relatives on Linden street was injured in the band by the explosion of a pistol, which required the services of a physician. A frecracker exploded fo the face of an Italian and was painfally injured while in: front of Strumfela cigar store on Mill street. From the glasses he wore William Moore probably saved his eye-sight. While touching off a cannon cracker it exploded before he could retreat; his face was badly burned. Kitty Mullin, of Buckley street had her hands burned by an exploding fire cracker.

The display of fireworks which was giv. en by the members of Good Will Hose No. 3, in front of their hose house on Swain atreet, WAS the most elaborate which has been seen in Bristol for many years, and was about the only effort made on a large scale. The cullection consisted of roman candles, sky rockets, flower pots, pin wheels, balloons, red and green fre and two set pieces. The display was witpessed by fully a thousand people.

Our Own Business. One of the very beat lessons we learn in life, ou every plane of thought, 18 emphatically to mind our own business let our neighbors alone. We learn it sometimes very hard, but it gets drilled us pretty thoroughly, and those are wisest who make up their minds to accept teaching before they suffer too much not doing 80. This law holds good equal force in immaterial as well as material matters. Other folk's hearts and consciences and minds and moral standare to be let alone, with a big A.

He would even stimulate it by artificial means. And often overmuch exortation he brings about emotional state of mind which is neither genuine nor permanent. A forced emotional repentance, or one founded the dangera of the discovery or the punishment of sin, is not that which will most good to the heart and life of the sinner, Surely we should be content to work slower, to wait serenely for God's time, to keep our hands off that which is businegs alone--the mistakes, the faulte, and the sins of our dear brother. us be more satisfiod that he should And God in God's way rather than in oure, through sin, perhaps--through long and strange and roundaboat ways, perhaps, through faltering often, and with many backslidings, but to surely find Him.

A. base ball teams played a game on Fourth of July morning wbich for thrilling enthusiasm has had few equals in this region.

Both teams are very evenly matched and each have a big following of "rooter." The management of each team has furnished the Gazette with an account of the game, therefore we publish both. The following 18 the Bloomsdale account: Last Saturday morning the Bloomsdale and Bristol A. A. met in the second game of the series for the championship of Bristol. The game was played on the grounds of the Bristol A.

A. and was witnessed by a large crowd of people. Although the heavy rain made the infield quite slow for ground balls still the game was fast and well' played. The Bristol A. A.

Anally winning out by one run in a most exciting Anish. For Ave innings neither side scored, but in the sixth Bloomsdale cut ice. Hamilton the Brat man up doubled to left field, and advapced to third when Dugan dropped White's fly balt, then Allen singled to right and two runs crossed the plate. For the home teams inning they did not score. In the seventh neither club scored.

In the last half of the eighth inning Britton dropped a fly and O. Mulligan scored a run. When the ninth opened the score stood 2 to 1 in Bloomedales favor. Bloomsdale had made four hits to the A. A.

6. For Bloomsdale Leigh singled and scored a moment later, on Landretha long hit to deep left field. Score 3 to 1 in Bloomadales favor. To the last balf of the ninth the Bristol A. had two men out and a man on second and another on third.

The batter had two strikes when he hit a fly ball to left fold. The ball bit Allen's hands but he dropped it and two rune crossed the plate. Score 3 to 3. Great excitement. Barton cume to bat, he had two strikes but bit the next ball on the nose and the Bristol A.

A. bad won the game 4 to 3. Both pitchers did good work, but Bunting had slightly the best ot the boxwork. He stuck out 10 men to Callabans 9. Although Bloomedale lost, they should not bave any kick coming as they won the first game.

The next game played should draw enormous crowd. The following is the Bristol A. A. side the story: With two men out, two strikag ou the -this in the ninth inning with the score 3 to 1 against -it looked though the home team's chances of winning were on A par with 8 Democrat from the Second Ward running for Council, But the race isn't always to the slow and it proved 80 in this case. third ball pitched went sailing out in left field towards Allen, tried to put it on its back with the "strangle" hold when he should have used grapevine lock.

Result: two runs 10 tying the score, It was the easiest kind of work Barton to tear the lid off firat base with slashing single down the line, bringing the winning run. It was very early in morning when Manager Landreth assembled his men up at Riordon's lock to practice few Marconigraphs. Then he piloted them down ine two mile level until he struck swinging-bridge where they disembarked. They had the same tape they drew A. A's.

a few weeks ago. Could they pull it around aguin Iu the mean time Manager Callahan of the home team had visited all the tuber yards in the town to enough wood in his bats to floor the Bloomsdale boys. Besides these preparations town took a holiday to see the game, And was worth seeing. It looked as though each team had their batting clothes on but no-one in them a9 inning after inning was played without a run, Dave's smile was growing from east to west whilst the home team failed to tally, his side at the end of the eighth baving three rune to their credit. Then Neal Mulligan started the tun.

He gripped bat tighter than a three ply crust around cherry pie, made a hut, stole second, third and fiually scored. The crowd broke loose and it took some time to gather the players together. They started again and this the home team didn't stop until they rubbed the plaster off them which the visitors put them at the last game.

Tho fact that an "old" man acted umpire may have had something to do with the result. meeting of the members of the tol Shooting Association was held on Monday evening for the purpose of transacting genoral business and it was revealed that the affairs of the organization were in 0X- cellent condition. Since securing and layIng out new grounds, placing traps and building a club house a few months ago, all indebtedness has been wiped out. At the tournament on Saturday over four hundred pigons were ralsed from the traps.

The association has a membership of eighty. The two new cars which arrived recently for the Bristol-Morrisville division of the Philadelphia, Bristol and Trenton Street the Fourth of July and were objects of Railway Company, were pat into service on general interest. The cars are handsome ones and are the latest improved types of street railway carriages, being Brill's semi- care, manufactured by the J. G. Brill Compens, of Philadelphia.

They have comfortable seating capacity for forty persons. A half hour service has been established between Bristol and Morrieville. Thie drision of the road has been splendidly patronised, far exoceding the expectations of the promoters, and it is hoped the two old care which make such terrido racket will soon be replaced by more of the new ones. 0465836 "MOTHER" JONES IN BRISTOL. PHILADELPHIA TEXTILE STRIKERS MARCH INTO TOWN ON THEIR WAY TO NEW YORK.

"Mother" Jones, who has gained a National reputation as a strike leader, camo futo town last evening at the head of her little band of about fifty textile strikers and after parading the streets in the early evening an open air meeting was beld at the foot of Pond street, by the old Dorranco mill. The left Philadelphia several days ago and proposes to tramp by easy stages to New York, making frequent stope, and holding frequent meetings in order to promulgate the justice of the strikers' cause. From Kensington to Wall Street" in the marchers' watchword. Tuesday night the they call themsel res, stopped at Torresdale Park, and early yesterday morning arrived at South Bristol where they camped during the day on the Simons estate. Early last evening they marcbed into Bristol.

"Mother" Jones rode at the head of the army in an express wagon followed by the textile band, and about fifty men and boys with flags and- banners. The banners bore such inscriptions as "'We are Textile Workers," "We Have Schools and Ought to Use Them." "'We Only Ask for Justice," "More Schools and Less Hospitals," "More Hours to Spend at Home," eto. John Sweeney, better known 88 of Bristol, acted as marshal and conducted the paraders about town. Standing in the express wagon at the foot of the Pond street hill, "Mother" Jones, after a speech by Isaac Oowan, national organizer of the Machiniats Union, addressed the large audience. Attired in a gown of mourning, she removed her black bat, revealing her wealth of white hair.

Her manner was entirely pleasing, A pair of kindly blue eyes looked directly at you. High cheek bones, 8 short chia and rather florid complexion was enbanced by its crown of silver hair. The voice was rather hareb, probably from much open air speaking, but she had the habits of the trained orator. Her speaking impressive, her arguments clear, and her manner of deliverance persuasive. "Mother" Jones told of the object the march, which was to let the know the justice of the etfikers' cause.

She declared that the condition of the textile workers in Philadelphia is deplorable and that she had enlisted her services in their behalf. This morning several of the strikers will go about town with their horse and wagon and solicit provisions from the storekeepere. The main body of the strikers marched out of town at about five o'clock this morning. The next stop will be made Trenton. ANDALUSIA.
