The report of the products of the farm in 1902 is as follows, but 60 acres of 100 being under cultivation; Wheat, 468 bushels; rye, 42 bushels; oats, 268 bushels; corn, shelled, 600 bushels; potatoes, 610 bushels; apples, 80 bushels; grapes, 40 bushels; beets. 10 bushels; hay, 24 tons; cabbage, 2800 heads; celery, 1600 stalks. Some of the above figures are approximate estimates, as the vegetables were used as they became fit for the table. The number of children at present cared for is 123. During the year 30 left the institution and 81 were received.

Five are at present living out in private families, but are still under the cara and supervision of the home. Of the SO who left the home during the year, three were placed into families on indenture, eight were dismissed on age, 18 years, 16 returned to mothers who are again able to provide for them, one dismissed to guardian, one dismissed to relatives, able to support himself, and one died. The following is a summary of the receipts from all sources for the year: Contributions, Interest from endowment fund, anniversary receipts (August, 1902), water rent, from friends and guardians for support of children, live stock sold, hides and tallow sold, potatoes sold, meat sold, wheat sdld, old Iron sold, lumber sold, mule sold, $45, empty cement bags sold, funeral expenses repaid, sundries, total, balance In treasury July 8, total, $14,497.49. The expenditures were $13,678.78, leaving a balance of $818.71. The endowment fund amounts to $16,698.93.

Superintendent Tundt says In his report: "The support of the family from year to year is dependent upon the produce of the farm, the income from the endowment fund, the receipts at the anniversary, and, principally, the voluntary contributions of our friends. These gifts, which are generally received about Christmas time, come from all over the eastern part of our church, and some even from the Far West and the South; they are the contributions of individuals, societies, Sunday Schools, and congregations. Many touching incidents of the Interest and devotion to thiscausearebroughttolight as these gifts come to the home Recently an elder of the St. John's congregation at Shamokin brought a small package to the home, wrapped in a newspaper, which contained precious legacy. Little Harry Zimmerman had been in the habit of saving' his pennies and sending them to the Orphans' Home every year.

Some time ago he was taken sick and as the time approached for him to go to his heavenly home he made the request, upon his death bed, that his savings should again be sent to the orphans at Womelsdorf. When' we opened the paper we found that It contained money will probably be kept a separate fund, to which other similar gifts -may be added, to be used for some special purpose In the future. Some pastors write, when they ask for the Christmas collection envelopes, that their 'people would consider themselves deprived of a blessed privilege if they were not given an opportunity to take part In this work. Fathers send gifts in the names- of children, and children contribute tn memory of their parents; some of the most encouraging contributions received during the year are those which have come from former boys and girls of the home. So from year to year enough is gathered together to give Hamilton St corset We bought 500 dozen from the makers for our four stores, so only 47 cents.

White Bed Spreads, 75c Beautiful patterns, real heavy, cheap at a dollar. Better ones at 85c, $1, $1.25 and $1.50.

Most of. our children leave before that time, but the larger girls, as a rule stay until the limit is reached. "It is now 17 years and 5 months since the present superintendent and matron entered upon the work.

Two girls recently became 18 years of age. These were the last of the children who were older than our term of service here. As for the rest, they are all younger than 17 years and 5 months, so that our stay at the home means to each one more than their lifetime so far. "None of our assistants has been here so long as we have been, although some have been with ns quite a number of years. There are occasional changes in our corps of employes.

Soon there will be an opening again for some one to take a position iere with an oppor-tunlty to do good work. There is no more responsible position or one that offers better opportunity to be helpful in this work than the position of cook. We have many applications for positions to entertain the children or to attend to the more ornamental part of the work. No trouble to fill positions of that kind, if we had such places, but not so many applications for portions to do the real work the family and to teach the girls both by word and example how to do It."

Trainmen employed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey, from Scranton to Jersey City, have been given an increase in wages averaging 85 cents ppr day. This concession on the part of the company was not entirely unexpected, as a new schedule was submitted some time ago in regard to wages and hours, but no one expected that the answer to the petition would be made for weeks to come. Great was the surprise of the employes when they received their pay and observed neatly penciled on the envelope $2.40 for 12 hours' work. Heretofore they received $1.86 for 10 hours, or $2.05 for $12. The trainmen had also asked for a shorter day, but as there appeared to be no systematic arrangement between the other classes of employes, the company declared that to grant this was impossible.

Under the new schedule the rate of pay of trainmen is as follows: Passenger brakeman $2 and baggage masters $2.25 for 12 hours. Additional hours 20 and 22H cents respectively. A day's work for passenger trainmen is the. run to which he is assigned by program. Round trips between Jersey City and Mauch Chunk will be allowed one and one-quarter days; additional extra hours after the 14th hour.

In the freight, service flagmen and brakemen receive 2 cents per mile, and ten hours or 100 miles shall be considered a day. In the yard service, outside the Jersey City terminal territory, 12 hours is a day, and the rate per day for head drillers is $2.85 and 24 cents per hour extra hours. Drillers receive $2.30 and 20 cents additional hours. Car droppers get $1.85 per day. PRESENTS FOR OFFICERS.

Captain Charles Spangler and Lieutenants Evan Wlttemeyer and Howard Hersh of Company Fourth Regiment, on Friday evening received belts and carriers for the sabres presented to them at the Mt. Gretna encampment. The belts and sabres were gifts from the members 'of the company. The presentation speech was made by Lieutenant Arthur Wagner.

The recipients are much pleased With the gifts. A pleasant social session followed, at which luncheon was served. return A1 Train August 11, with Pullman drawing- from Chitago. thla route. Write for train itineraries? ILU 50 of Lehigh County people.

He ia a man of the people and sympathises with the people, as did the late Judge Albright I say the Lehigh County Bench Is for a Lehigh Countlan, born and reared and educated In Lehigh County. "When at the age of 28 years, I was first a candidate for the office of mayor of Allentown, Judge Harvey was kind enough to say of me that If I were elected mayor of Allentown $100 would look to me as big as a cart wheel. I do not claim tobe more honest than any other honest man, but gentleman; any man who impugns my honesty in that fashion I have a right to criticise. "You who admired the late Judge Albright and endorsed him and voted for him again and again ought to favor Frank Trexler for Jadge. Mr.

Harvey thought Judge Albright was not fit to be our Judge, and said so repeatedly, thereby insulting the Intelligence and the capacity of our own people among ourselves. In the coming contest let the verdict of Lehigh County people be that they have confidence in the intelligence and integrity of themselves and their own. Let the verdict be that Lehigh County has the grace, the courage to put on the Bench. Hon. Frank M.

Trexler, one of its own people, even as it elevated to the Bench that true, great and loyal Lehigh Countlan, Hon. Edwin Albright of revered memory." MEETING ADJOURNS. M. S. Weidner had been scheduled for a speech in Pennsylvania German, but on account of indisposition he did not appear at the meeting.

After three rousing cheers for Judge Trexler and Mayor Lewis the meeting was adjourned with muslo by the Pioneer Band. DESIRABLE SECURITIES FOR IN' VESTMENT.

up an issue here and there, their apple is like the fruit of the Dead, Sea. The tariff the Republicans have never deviated from. Our own great party is the party which is solving the trust question under the leadership of that matchless young man In the White HouBe. He proclaimed that no man, no company, no combination, was to be above the law, but must submit to the power of the) 'law. We see how in the failure of the big trusts In New York, individuals are wrecked.

I would not say that great business interests should be pulled up by the roots. But in this, as in the parable of the wheat and the tares, the tares must be plucked out. They must be under proper control and regulation. "Who that calls himself an American, is not proud of that name? Mark the vast development and improvement until the human mind is almost ready to stop and say, 'Can we go any How has all this development been brought about? Let me say It here and I wish I could say it over the whole country, 'Through the grand principles and progressive movement of the Republican So long as its principles prevail will this country be great, prosperous and happy. "We want a protective tariff, properly adjusted and regulated, so that American labor is protected and that the manufacturer can compete in the markets of the world.

In all the huge marts of trade you will find that American goods are competing successfully with English, German and French goods, and in Sheffield Itself American cutlery undersells that of home manufacture. Beware of a Democratic tariff, and remember that the Wilson tariff bill gave us the last Democratic panic. They want to do it again, because they say they want the tariff revised, but I think the people of this country have had enough of Democratic rule." In conclusion Mr. Biery deprecated any effort to change the money laws in accordance with the wild-cat ideas of a good many Democrats, but said it should be done under the careful supers vision of sound-money Republicans. He added: "The Republican party is the pqjty that stands for sound money, nor have the efforts of Mr.

Bryan been able to shake the people's confidence in its financial policy." Mr. Blery spoke a few words upon the judgeship and urged of his hearers a careful consideration of the question. "I want to say," he added, "so far as Mr. Trexler is concerned he has shown high 'ability and strong aptitude for the delicate duties of his position. Mr.

Harvey Is also an able and experienced gentleman. When you cast your ballot, I leave It to your conscience, but if you elect the man now on the Bench, Mr. Trexler, you will not be making a mistake." LEWIS CATCHES CROWD. The last speaker of the day was Mayor Fred E. Lewis, whose speech raised the crowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm.

He dwelt principally on the Judgeship, going further in his remarks about the coming contest than had any other speaker. By the remarks he made Mayor Lewis challenged the Democratic organization to a bitter contest It is evident that the struggle will be a historic one, and that the Republican, organization will put up a battle to win this fall surpassing all former efforts. The mayor 'said the contest must be clean, but' it is certain to be strenuous. The speech was 1j many respects a remarkable one. Mayor Lewis has been the central figure on many an occasion, but none was ever more dramatic than this.

When he broke into Pennsylvania German the crowd applauded and laughed, and when he declared "A Lehigh County man for Le high County Judge," they greeted him with a roar. From all sides it was heard there was something doing when Mayor Lewis spoke and every minute the crowd grew larger. The mayor spoke as follows: "Do not, my friends, be guilty of negligence because this is a so-called off year In politics. The Republican party of Lehigh County is harmonious, as It ought to be. We will go into the contest with one aim.

one object, the election of the Republican ticket this fall. "The Democratic party Is demoralized nationally. Hon. Wm. C.

Whitney, who was Cleveland's secretary of the navy, says the Democracy is without issues and without men. Then, gentlemen, let us take advantage of taj opportun ity. "It has been said that Lehigh, under Democratic dominion, is a well-governed county. "I saw a few days ago a Democratic boast that Lehigh County had $80,000 to Its credit in the Allentown National Bank. If that be so, why do the Democrats not give this county some necessary Improvements or reduce taxes That would be good housekeeping.

(Cheers). "You must remember thai the bulk of the money received by Court House officers comes In the shape of fees and not from the county taxes direct. What they charge you when you have business in the Court House does not appear in any public state ment The Democratic management has been collecting taxes and spending nothing, giving the people of this coun ty few bridges -and no good roads whatsoever. The roads we have are maintained by the townships at township expense. "There has been a contention with the state authorities at Harrlsburg about the building of a bridge over the Lehigh River at Allentown, because the railroad companies won't file a bond to do their share of the work.

It now costs a man cents to drive a two-horse team from Allentown to Clader's Division in Hanover, an altogether unjust tax on the people, and one that might be avoided with good county management. If they have a surplus of $30,000 in the Allentown National Bank, which surplus doesn't bring a cent of revenue Into the county treasury, why don't they build bridges and free turnpikes? That would be good housekeeping. "We will have a Judicial contest this fall. You have on the one side a candidate nominated by the Democrats, Hon. Edward Harvey, who I say with emphasis is a scholar and a gentleman.

There must not lie any mudslinging during this campaign, no vituperation of either candidate. "We will nominate in our convention a man who is also a scholar and a gentleman, who has the respect, the esteem, the (rood will of every inhabitant of Lehigh County. There is naught to be said against him. He Is the man who now presides over our Counts with dignity and ability, Frank M. Trexler.

He was born among us in Lehigh County, a worthy son of a worthy father. "Frank Trexler is a Lehigh Count-Ian. He Is a man who understands us. Born and reared among us, he necessarily understands us. He understands the English language and the Pennsyl- vanla German language.

The Russian Black sea squadron which, was ordered to Turkish waters, and whlfih arrived at Iniada, Eastern European Turkey, August 19, in order to sup port Russia's demands on the sultan growing out of the assassination or M. Rostkowskl, Russian consul at Monas tlr.

has been recalled to Sebastopol, the squadron's point of departure. The recall followed on a notification from the porte that the eultan had ordered all the Russian demands to be com plied with. The despatch received from M. Zino vleff. Russian ambassador at Constan tinople, announcing that the sultan had yielded completely to Russia's de mands, was as follows: "The porte has taken the following measuref to fulfill the demands of the Russian government: In addition 10 the condemnation and execution of Rostkowski's murderers and the pun ishment of their those officers who made disrespectful allu sions to M.

Rostkowskl are dismissed from the service. A careful search is being made for the persons who fired at tiie consul's carriage. All the offi cials, 24 in number, whose names were handed to the porte as objecta of un favorable comment by the Russian ambassador, are relieved of their posts and handed over to justice All pri vate persons mentioned in the same list as guilty of various offenses will likewise be tried. "Ismail Hakl Pasha, the chief of police at Palanka, province of TJskub, is restored to his post Tho persons un der arrest for accusing Mussulmans of outrage and abuse are liberated. "Hussein Hllmi, inspector general of Macedonia, is reprimanded.

The chiefs of gendarmery and police at Sa- lonica are replaced. "The porte has ordered the appointment of the gendarmery of several fop elgn officers, whose names will be an nounced later, and, finally, all the mili tary, civil and Judicial authorities have received the strictest orders to take measures to secure order and tranquil lity." The news has reached St Petersburg from Brussels that the porte has requested Belgium to nominate four officers for the Turkish Russian Squadron Withdraws. Constantinople, Aug. 24. The Rus sian squadron has sailed from Tur kish waters.

The porte's reply, accepting the Russian demands, was delivered 12 hour3 after the presentation, of the Russian note, a promptitude most unusual In the history of Turkish diplomacy. Tew- fik Pasha, the foreign minister, and Nauru Pasha thereupon called on Sinovieff, the Russian ambassador, and requested the withdrawal of the Russian squadron from Turkish waters, on the ground that its presence tended to encourage the insurrection. On the receipt of a favorable reply from St Petersburg, M. Sinovieff tele graphed the order of withdrawal to Admiral Krieger, commanding the Rus sian squadron at Iniada. Two sailing vessels crowded with Mussulman refugees from villages on the Black sea coast have arrived at Kavak, at the entrance to the Bospho-rus.

At Monastlr a Mussulman called the Italian consul "a giaour." A strong feeling prevails among the Mussul mans at Salonica and Monastlr on ac count of the execution of M. Rostkow ski's murderers. The remains of the murdered consul were shipped at Sa? lonlca yesterday with great pomp on board the Russian embassy guardship, Teretz. The Turkish civil and mili tary authorities attended the cere mony. The Teretz sailed for Odessa.

Macedonian Situation Growing Worse Sofia, Aug. 24. From Eastern Adri-anople come reports of more fighting, which so far appears to be resulting chiefly in favor of the revolutionists. Many villages have been burned and their inhabitants have taken refuge across he Bulgarian frontier. After long flghfrat Stolloro, the Insurgents de feated a detachment of Turkish troops, which lost 20 killed and wounded.

At Chanagasko, near Surovicovo, the Insurgents are reported to have annihi lated an entire Turkish regiment. At Balankzara, near Tirnovo, 75 revolutionists are credited' with defeating a Turkish battalion. The villages of Amdermis and Enrik, near Vasiliko, have been burned to ashes. The Turks have bombarded and de stroyed the monastery of Constantine, near Losengrad, where 60 insurgents had fortified themselves. The villages of Bakdglk, Konakara, Evron, Dlngisco and Brusheva have all been burned and their inhabitants have fled.

The large village of Drumbegle, near Losengrad, has been burned by Bashl-Bazouks. The villages of Buch, with tOO houses, and Rakoro, 200 houses, situated in the vilayet of Monastlr, have also been burned by Turkish troops. Two hundred women and children from; these villages ere now begging in the streets of Monastlr. The Turkish government has organized a special court at Monastlr to try the captured insurgents. The tribunal Is composed of a Turkish president, three other Turks, two Greeks and one Albanian.

It will partake of the character of a criminal court and not of a court martial. 1 DEWITT IS THE NAME.
