Held at North Baptist Church. "Aunty" Smith, 93 Tear of Age, the A special service for old folk was held by the Rev. Francis G. Merrill in North Baptist Church yesterday morning. A largt number of aged people attended the ser vice, and the church was filled with old and young folk.

Tbe oldest person in the church was a Mrs. Smith, who Is fa miliarly called "Aunty" by her friends. She Is 93 years of age. Though nearing the century mark of life, she took active part In the service, and enjoyed it very much Those in the church who had reached the allotted three score and ten years of life seemed young in comparison with those verging on the nineties. Brief addresses were made by the Rev Moses Heath and Abner Bailey.

Follow ing the usual custom at this annual treat of tbe pastor to his aged friends, each one was presented with a bouquet. The old people were brought to tbe church and taken home in carriages supplied by friends. Paster Merrill preached his sermon from Zecbariah 14, 7: "But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night; but it shall come to pass that at evening-time it shall be light." At the evening service Mr. Merrill preached from the text, Matthey 4. 20: "And they straightway left their nets and followed Htm." "As Peter and Andrew, leaving their nets behind them, followed the Lord," said tbe preacher, "so should all Christians leave their past behind them in following Christ.

They cannot follow two masters. They must give up the old habits and enter upon the new life. When I find a man who carries bis pipe in his pocket, I know he is not doing the Lord's work, and the same with the man who carries a pack of cards; but are following self-gratification. Many are trying to do the Lord's work encumbered by nets. They must cast them aside if they would be successful." FOUNDERS' DAY.

VISITORS GREETED WITH MUSIC BY THE BAND. Entertaining Programme Address by John Sparhawb, of Philadelphia. Standing out in bold relief in letters formed of white beans Iu a background of golden grains of corn on a wall of the school room at the Ferris Industrial School, Saturday afternoon, was- the name "John Ferris." It was Founder's Day, and this work done by the boys freshened in their minds the memory of the man who in the fulness of his wisdom, made possible the existence of the Institution, their temporary home, ia which, under the influence of hind and careful training they are afforded every opportunity to develop into useful manhood. In the minds of the 1oard of mana gers and the visitors, memories of Foun der's day will linger as "the day of opportunity," for that tbe subject of aa earnest talk to the boys by John Spar- hawk. a lawyer of Philadelphia.

As the visitors drove up to the buildin they were greeted by the strains of music from the band, which gave a concert outside before the exercises began. Soon after 8 o'clock the visitors were invited to the school room where, the exercises took place. Seated in rows with arms folded and with bright and cheerful faces were the boys. The room was prettily decorated witb bunting. Sags and fall leaves.

A picture of Abraham Lincoln hung on the west wall. The blackboards were adorned with flags done in colors. In the centre of the ceiling was a targe star formed of the national colors.and symbolic of hope. At 3.20 o'clock the exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. F.

Cornwell Jen nings. A duet was sung by colored boys and the school joined in the chorus, The next number was the flag salute by the school, the boys standing with right arms raised pledging allegiance. Then the boys sang "Columbia." Mr. Gawthrop in a short address re viewed the history of the school and said there was much to be thankful The health conditions of the school, 'he said. were a source of much comfort to the managers, only one death having occurred since the founding of the Institution.

A Quartette of colored boys sang "Life Boat Men" in a pleasing manner. The pro gramme was well rendered and each num ber was applauded. Mr. Sparhawk was introduced and spoke entertainingly. "Just four years and four days ago." he said, "I spoke to some of you boys.

In that time some havecome and some have gone. It is a pleasure for me to come to talk to you. You are here for a purpose, net for fun. You are care to build your characters, and to-day ia your opportunity. Great deeds are not to be done in the fu ture; we have n't the future.

All we have is the You are sowing the seeds of your characters, and must make sacrifices and encounter disappointments, "Under the stress of tribulations character grows. But to-day is your opportu nity. Bo your duty and be faithful to duty. We cannot sea the result of the good work done to-day. But in years to come we wilt find the result and in the maturity of.

age pleasant memories will be those of work wall done in the days long since past." After the singing of "America" by the boys and the visitors. Presiding Elder Watt dismissed the assemblage. At the word of command the boys marched out of the room to the driil ground, where they entertained the visitors with well -executed military maneu- vres. Though the boys have been drilling but six weeks, they have made good pro gress. drill closed the exercises for the day, and the general expressions ot gratification were evidence that Founder's Day had been fittingly celebrated, and that the exercises had been enjoyed by all.

Miss Jessie A. Ackermann Spoke in the Opera House, NOTED TRAVELLER'S WORDS A Large Andlence Was Present aad Listened With Attention Last Evening Mia Ackermann Spebe in Grace M. E. Charch. Miss Jessie A.

Ackermann, a temperance worker whose fame is known in every country. addressed a mass-meeting of persons interested in the temperance cause at the Opera House yesterday afternoon. and last evening she lectured in Grace M. E. Church on "The World's Greatest Need." Despite the Inclement weather, the auditorium of the Opera House was well filled in tbe afternoon, and what ia unusual in such a gathering, there seemed to be more men than women present.

Miss Ackermann expressed her gratification at this condition. Mrs. Thomas Darlington presided, and seated with her on the stage, were tbe officers of the local Christian Temperance Unions. Prior to tbe address, tbe audience sang familiar hymns. Miss Ackermann spoke 'of the great field in foreign countries for mission and temperance work.

She has visited every country tn tbe world, she said, and had travelled hundreds of thousands of miles. It took her four years, sho stated, to learn that patriotism is the broadest element of this- country's citizenship, especially among women. Miss Ackermann dwelt at length on the manners and customs of China, especially those re lating to tbe women of that country, and she described a Chinese wedding, as she was so fortunate to witness it. The bride and groom never met until tbe ceremony. "Women should never regret that they are old maids in this country," Miss -Acker-man said.

''Here you have the opportunity of saying who shall be your husband, here you say 'no' If you de3ire; but imag-ine the lives of the women of China, who are bought by their husbands, and for whom there is no divorce." Miss Acker mann says the husband can only secure a divorce, and to end their misery about twenty thousand women annually commit suicide in one province alone. Miss Ackermann related an incident, tn iei inquired of a Chinese woman why she bandaged her feet. As a reply, the woman of the Celestial emnlre desired to know why American and English women bound their waists. After that Miss Ackermann said she could not consistently agitate against the peculiar Chinese custom. women, why do you bind yourselves down with yards and yards of cloth, srd at this time of the year weigh your heads down with feathers and cockades, until you appear top-heavy and lopsided?" exclaimed the speaker.

Travelling into Siam, Miss Ackermann described an interview with the King, whom, she says, is a decidedly clever man. He attributed the discontent among Amer-. can women, of whom he said he was making a study, to their advanced education, and he realized that If he permitted the women cf his empire to lift from them-J selves their burden of. ignorance, he couid not confine them. She described the piti- ful condition of the Hindoo women, who are never permitted to gaze upon any man's face, save that of their husband's, and whose field is a meagre patch of the blue sky overhead, as viewed from a court or corridor in the second story of the hut.

But returning to this country. Miss Acker mann said there is a greater field for work here in suppressing the liquor traffic than in any place. She said she regarded the extermination of the legalised saloon aS the greatest missionary problem that will confront the twentieth century. She believed the best plan cf procedure is to strike at the legalized institution, rather than to waste time trying to save one degraded drunkard, when at the same moment forty-six more persons are falling victims to the dreaded curse. In conclusion she stated that a movement is under way to secure fifty thousand more merx- bers of the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union to observe the anniversary of the birth of Frances Willard.

She bespoke a liberal contribution from the au dience as. an offering for the temperance cause, and George W. Todd also made an appeal for financial assistance. He paid a tribute to the Temperance Union as an or ganization for good. After the benediction had been pro nounced by the Rev.

Charles A. Grise of Union M. E. Church, a canvass was made of the audience, in the e5ort to secure additional members for the Christian Tern perance NEW FORM OF RELIGION. The Members Call Themselves "Be ltevers" and Have no Churches.

The address of M. L. McPhail in this city brought out the fact that a new form of religion has been introduced in this city. At present there are but few adher ents, though they hope for accession to their ranks. Members of this new sect cell themselves "Believers," though they object to being called a sect or a Tbey hold all denominations to be right, and yet wrong; right in the doctrine and principles which they teach, but wrong in that the? take portions of the Bible to prove their particular position and do not' take it as whole, although they believe it as a whole.

The "Believers" accept the whole of the Bible and put it all together. Tbey do not pick out any particular doctrine, but strive to emulate the ancient believers. They have no churches, but meet at the hoaies of the various members and there study the Bible. They have no ministers, though they have travelling lecturers like Mr. McPhail, who are known as "pilgrims." The "Believers" have also figured out that the second advent of Christ will oc cur shortly.

By some the year 1914 Is fixed as the one when this will occur. They reject the idea that the world will bo des troyed by fire, but believe tbat the world, or rathar. the people in the world, will be placed the same position as was Adam when be was first placed In the world. Mea sometimes say that if they were placed In Adam's position they would not bavj fallen from grace. The think these men will have the opportunity.

Thsy also believe that right and Justice wil! prevail. The administration cf justice will be equitable, and right will prevail among men and nations. The "Believers" assert that all ths things can be figured out and proved by tbe Bible. Members of the new religion think the number of "Believers" in this city will grow. Eepresentative From Pencader Hundred Will Not Attend the Beunion.

WRITES SCATHING LETTER "Will Not Willingly Submit to tbo Disgrace of Being Seen" in tbe Company of Faxlow, King or Clark, and Fraternising Witb Thorn. Representative David C. Rose, of Newark, has decided not to go on the legislative reunion trip, and Representative Burns, the secretary of the committee, has received a pointed letter giving his reasons. The letter follows: "Newark, Oct. 6.

1839. "The Hon. Rohert M. Burns, Secretary of Legislative Reunion Committee. "My Dear Sir: I received several days ago your courteous invitation to Join the legislative reunion and go on October IS to Old Point Comfort and other points of Interest.

1 see by the public press that Far-low, King and Clark, some or all of them, propose to go on this trip. The presence of any one of them on suca a friendly and social occasion makes it impossible for me to attend. I will not willingly submit to the disgrace of being seen in their company fraternizing with them. "What would the world have thought, after the Revolutionary War was over, if Washington had consented to participate in a reunion in which Benedict Arnold appeared with patriotic American officers as a friend and equal will the sober- minded people of Delaware think if any honest member, of our General Assembly consents to condone or forget what Far-low, King and Clark did on the last day ot our session? For my part I think we can not afford as a matter of self-reepect to bave any reunion which includes the three men named, or any one ot them. 'Those three men were elected as Dem ocrats; always declared themselves Demo crats represented Democratic constituencies.

Drawn by the peculiar power Ad-dicks uses to attract men when he wants thoir votes, Farlow, King and Clark degraded their manhood and disgraced their state by casting tbeir votes for Addicks for United States Senator. "Other members of the General Assembly, for whom I have all respect, may do about this matter as to them seems best; but I must flatly refuse to go on any pleasure trip or participate in any reunion with such company as Farlow, King or Clark. "I am, with assurance of high personal esteem. Yours respectfully. C.

A New Counterfeit $10 Silver Cer tificate ia Circulation. Laffan New Bureau Special.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. A new counter feit $10 silver certificate ha been discovered by tbe Secret Service division the Treasury Department. It is of series 188, in check letter plate number la indistinct (probably 74), Fount Tillman, register; D. N.

Morgan, treasurer; portrait of Hendricks. It is a dangerous photo-me-cbanlcal production, printed on soft paper, probably made up from two sheets of Japanese tissue. Green and red Ink lines are used to imitate tbe eiik fibre of the genuine. The face of note has a grayish tinge. owing, no doubt, to the use cf a poor quality of black Ink.

The color of the seal Is a trifle too dark. The treasury number is good, both as to color -and formation. The lathe work, with the exception of tbat In the counter, upper right corner face of note, is well executed. The back of the note is more deceptive than the face. The Imprint of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, left end, back, is illegible.

MAN OVERBOARD. CRT OF CAPTAIN BLOCKSON OF THE TUG POWELL. Stranger Clambered A snore at Orange Street, and Walked. Away Xoae tbe Worse for Hi Experience. "Man overboard," yelled Captain Block- som of the tug Amanda Powell about o'clock yesterday morning, as his craft pulled from Shipley street wharf.

Bridge-tender William Green was standing on the open draw of Market street bridge, and Captain Blocksom Informed him that I stianger had Just fallen overboard at Or- ange street. As soon as the draw was closed Brldgetender Green, with a lantern, started for Orange street wharf, meanwhile notifying Sergeant Howgate and the patrol wagon force that the man was struggling in the water. No yells were heard from the Christiana, but Captain Blocksom said he and his crew saw the stranger topple from the wharf Just as the Powell cast loose. Bridge- tender Green. Sergeant Howgate, Driver Purcell and Patrolman England hastened to Orange street wharf, but no trace of the man could be seen.

An investigation of the wharf front did not reveal any wet places where the man could have clambered to the wharf. The affair began to look like a mystery, but it was solved later by George ires-cott, a watchman at tbe warehouse of F. Blumenthal 4k Company, wbo stated tbat a man dripping wet a few minutes before had gone up Orange street from the wharf. He was accompanied by a man named Clark, a deckhand on a barge that had been tied up at the wharf. It is probable that the stranger had climbed up cn the barge.

Instead of on the wharf in getting out of the river. This also would account for the absence of a pool ot water on the wharf. The name of the immersed stronger could not be learned. CHURCH WORKERS ACTIVE. New Classes Organised by tbe Mem bers of Norh Baptist.
