GOLDSMITH'S North Market Square OVER A HUNDRED AT CORNROAST Telegraph Family Has Heaps of Fun Yesterday on MeCormick's Island The few stars that did their best to throw a little light on things, last evening had long since gone to bed behind the clouds when the "last from McCormick's Island slid across to the Edward street landing. And if you had been hanging about any place from which to hear (above the other vocal disturbances) what the folks on the crowded boat were saying you'd have heard this one grieving murmur, reiterated and rereiterated: "Too bad! Only the weather man failed to operate!" Otherwise the annual "cornroast" of the Telegraph family was a greater success than ordinary. More than a hundred employes of the Telegraph were guests of E.

J. Stackpole, the president, and the party had a real plenic time of it as long as the weather behaved. The tables were spread under the trees on the site of the playground camp. All afternoon the fires burned and the ears of corn roasted under the able direction of "Danny" Williams, and two assistants while in an adjoining tent "Jim" Wilson grinned and watched the coffee boilers while Brown stood by with ladle and cups to get ready for the big rush. Sometime before 4 o'clock the first boat landed.

V. Grant Forrer, assistant park superintendent, was there to of arrangements while the help the Telegraph family committee. Snyder, Mrs. Snyder, Mrs. Forrer and Miss Forrer who had been camping on the island for a week, had celebrated the arrival of the "Family" by decorating the tables with masses of wild flowers.

And from the time the boat touched until the last boatload departed Superintendent Forer and the committeemen hardly stopped for a bite to eat. Lots of things might be mentioned of the cornroast. For instance the demise of "Buck" Ewing's straw is a story in itself; the fact that "Rosie" he had--is another incident worthy McDonald had enough corn or said of note; "Bob" Bernheisel did some good chaperoning and entertained later at the neither Ogelsby, "Jim" McCullough nor Steinmetz did more than look their disgust when who started away without an overcoat, held up the last boat to the island while the wife and himself searched through the garret for Frank's coat. The only other real thrill that "Jim" McCullough experienced perhaps was on the way home. The "Chief," Mr.

Hamilton, Mr. Ogelsby, Mr. McCullough and some others decided to do a little of the roughing it stuff by loafing 'round the log fire after the main party had departed. They stayed until it rained. And as the single toiler at the oars of the little rowboat that carried the later wayfarers home, the Susquehanna's gentle waves lapped playfully over the gunwales.

Whereupon "Jim" got his thrill. "Say, Lawrence," he inquired, "can you handle a boat?" with his half-ton load. He nodded. The a oarsman doggedly panted away The Susquehanna slipped a couple of quarts over "Jim's" thwart. 'Tain't so very deep in here, though, is it?" finally asked Mr.

McCullough. I "Eighteen feet--some places!" said the oarsman. Thus, the final thrill. MISS LEADER ADDRESSES THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY A delightful hour was spent at the home of Mrs. C.

H. Linde, Camp Hill, last evening at the Fall meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of First Baptist Church, of which the Rev. W. S. Booth is the pastor.

About fifty were present. After a supper served between 5 and 7 o'clock, short business session was held, followed by an address on Japan by Miss Margaret Leader, a missionary to that country. It was an instructive and entertaining glimpse of the people and the problem of the Far East and the prospects of the Christian propaganda among the "Asiatic Yankees." Every one enjoyed this illuminating resume of Miss Leader's five years' work in the educational field of the little empire. Her winsome personality and delivery was like the fragrance of cherry blossoms wafted from the "Flowery Kingdom."
