The time to pick out the delegates and to pledge your support to them Is now. You will do this— If you aro tired of being misruled by a boss and are self respoctful enough to wish to rule yourselves; If you are weary of having your money stolen by representatives and other pub-lic officers elected by boss lullueuce; If you hayo had enough of helping Mr Quay to accomplish his sole purpose; namely, to keep himself In office and to strengthen his personal power at the ex-pense of the tax-payers and by the sac-rifice of nonett government. If you are convluced that vou havo boon made the tools of politicians who use you first and plunder you afterwards; If, lu shor , you who owu this govern-ment, bollbvo that Mr. Quay has no right to act as If ho owned It. Ask yourselves what boneflt has ever come, or is llkoly ever to come, to you, individually, by permitting Mr. Quay to keep his foot upon your uecks, and then rally to help mo to do as much as one man caa do, to reduce Mr. Quay to the ranks.

Cook preached two sermons on Sunday with special reference to tho Mission now In progress. According to notice widely distributed, tho services of tho Mission began last night. The opening devotions were very short, consisting of the Litany and appro-priate hymns. Dr. Olmsted's sermon which was a searching aud convincing presentation of the subject, was on the text, Mat. 20: 22. Lord Is It I? The congregation was large aud listened with deep attention to tho sermon, as'they did to tho address at tho after-meeting. The Mlssiouer requested all who de-sired to do so to avail themselves of tho question-box which has boon provided to receive questions on Important subjects, suggested by tho preaching. or otherwise, also requests for prayers In behalf of friends. Such questions and requests will rocolvo ample attention. The Holy Communion was celebrated this morning, with an address on tho vis-ion of "Jacob's I^adder." There will be three services each day this week and on Mouday at 9.00 a. m., 4.13 p. in. and 7.80 p. m. On Sunday there will be services at the usual hours.

Talk Vonr Tewn Up To The Recorder Thore seems to bo a strong tendency on tho part, of a few of our citizens to always talk the town down, whenever Its present condition and future prospects are under consideration. ' Such a tendency has a di-rect Influence to retard progress and to bring about a result which no one can wish. It Is as weakening to every step forward as It is unwlso, and also unjust to those who have faith lu the future progress of our town and wish to see It become what It some day assuredly will be, one of the most active aud attractive largo inland towns of our State and Nation. The progress of our borough, oven dur-ing the last few years of business de-pression has been marked. Only a few years ago tho leading stioot of tho town was almost unfit for driving along Its whole length, uow It Is as tine a roadway for most of this distance as can Iw found. Formerly at night tho streets were but dimly lit, now the aro lights make most of thorn almost as light as day. Parts of the town a few years ago were almost In-accessible, now the trolley Hue brings all parts within easy reach of the stations, markets and schools. Nature has doue for Conshohockou all that any ono could ask, assuring Its inhabitants good air, and good drainage. The only real neod of the town at this time Is a good water supply, and this can bo secured If our Borough Fathers will Insist that tho Water Com-pany, which controls the valuable fran-chise of our streets for its mains, shall purify the Schuylklll water by llltiatlon. With tho coming wave of prosperity, which will also strike our town, It would be well If those who see no future ahead for our town would remember that we are but a dozen miles from ono of tho largest cities of our country, and that even if all our business interests should forsake us, which Is hardly coucelvable, still eveu In that oase our town would remain a suburb of the great city and would offer, as It al-ready does, many pleasant homes for those having business down there. So that oven In tho worst possible oyont, en-tirely beyoud tho range of probability, there is a sure future for our borough as a residential town. But there is also business to be don-here, more la fact than has ever yet been done. Within tho past few weeks we have heard of n n-w Industrial town to DO planted right at our doors. This cannot fall to help business here as well. There are also reports of important tWstneaa changes right In our midst, and rumors of new buildings to bo erected tins Spring, etc. It Is a good tune to take a hopeful looK ahead, and to liolp bring the advancement of our town by talking it up, by overlook-ing its defects and presenting Its advan-tages, by sinking our fears and gaining faith In oui future—[X. The Moiiterev Field Club Team came trom Philadelphia on Saturday evening and Joined the army of defeated teams by Gonshobooken before a good-sized crowd of eagoi spectator,. In au Intensely exciting and Interesting game by the one sldod score of 20 to 3. Tho Monterey boys were very quick aud used good judgement In throwing for the basket in practise, and from the n|>eota-tors point of view It seemed as though It would be a good game, and taken as a whole It was ono of the cleanest games ever played In the borough. The visitors played ono of the prettiest passlug gain.'s "f any visiting team that has played here this seasou, and the one-sided score does not show how closely the the game was contested. The visiting team was greatly handicap-ped by the absence of two of their strong-est players and the game was held back with tho hope that they would put In an appearance, but they 'failed to do so, and the game was started. For the first time this season Crawford remained oat of the game, and was sub-stituted by Rambo. who played a good lefeuslve game. It ma past nine o'clock when play was begun, but within a few seconds Moore liy clever ducking dropped tho ball In the basket for the first two points. The-visit-ors started to play fast, but th-ir playing was very clean and Custer came down the floor aud scored the second goal on a pret-ty pass. Moore scored tho third goal on a lieautiful pass by Novlllo, who afterward scored the fourth goal. This was follow-ed with one by Cox. Neville again scored the sixth on a dilliciilt throw while on his knees. Moor- plosed Conshohocken's scoring with the seventh goal. H. Jones of the visitors scored on a throw from the centre of the floor. The half closed with 14 to 2 In the 1 -eals favor. In the second half the visitors played a superb game aud the home team scored only three goals. For tho first time this season the "rooters" turned aud "rooted never before for the visitors, which Montgomery County's Free Deliveries A. B. Smith, the Special Agent of Rural Free Delivery, on Saturday drove over the proposed route for free mall delivery In this county, and concluded to make some changes, which will give still more accom-modations to the residents along the route. Under the new arrangements the carriers will make two dally trips, one In the morning aud the other In the after-noon. The carrier will leave Norrlstown in the morning, going out DeKalb street to Washington Square, from there to Nor-rltou, to Falrview, to tho creamery, about a mile from Center Point, from the cream-ery on a cross-road to Peun Square, and returning to Norrlstown by the way of the Swede street road. In the afternoon the carrier will go out DeKalb street to Washington Square. From the latter place to Ceutre Square, to Blue Bell, to Broadaxe, to Lancastervllle, to Plymouth Meeting aud ovor the Saudy Hill road and return to Norrlstown. The rural free deliveries will commence on May 1. The carriers will be aponluted between now and that time. Their an-nual salary by the Government will b *a00, while It is expected that they oan make additional monoy by earrying pack-ages, etc., for tho residents along the route. Mr. Smith is also looking carefully over the proposed route from North Wales to Montgomery Square, Montgomeryvllle. Eureka, Warrlngtoa, Warminlster, Hor-shaiii, Meple Glen, Three Tuns, Spring-house and Gwyuedd. Another route suggested by Congress-man I. P. Waoger makes North Wales the starting point, reaching Montgomery Square, Montgomeryvllle, Colninr, Line Lexington, Garlsvllle, Silvordale and Ben-jamin to Purkalse. Letter boxes will he placed at crossroads for matter to be nailed. The Alumni Reception A highly enjoyable musical aud literary entertainment, followed by a dance, will be given uuder the auspices of the Alumul Association of tho Conshohocken Public School. I his will tnke place in the W. 0. T. U. Hall, Friday evening, February 18th, at eight p. m sharp. The innovation of a mid-winter gather-ing of the Alumni aud their friends has boon urged for some seasons past, and Its advocates expect to make this Initial one such a signal success, that inld-wluter re-unions will henceforth be a yearly feature. It Is expected to be the most enjoyable af-fair yet given by the Alumni. All tho friends and patrons of the schools are cordially Invited to be present. One of tho features of tho entertainment will be the playing of Prof. William Schensley. Prof. Sehensley is well known In our town, and his masterly performances on tho oornet and saxaphouo never fall to call forth tho praise they so richly merit. Messrs Young and Kraeiner, comic specialists, of Pottstowu, hope to so enter-tain the audience that they will prove the truth of the old adage, "Laugh und grow fat." Ml-s Rattle Matthews, widely known as a pleasing reciter will take part, as will also Miss Edna Amblor and Miss Mllllcent Olive Frees. Miss Frees Is a graduate of the Conshohocken Schools and of tho Mount Vornon Institute of Elocution. She is gaining success, both as a teaoher of elocution and as a public reciter. Charades, and muslo, will complete a full and attractive program. Mrs. Jones, teach-er of musio in the Conshohohcken Schools, and Miss Maude Sagebeer will sing. After the musical and literary program, refreshments will bo served In the base-ment, then, all who desire, will enjoy the dancing. Mr. John C. Tracy will have charge of the dance program, which fact Is In Itself, a sufficient guarantee of its at-tractiveness. Let all friends of Alumni help to ensure Its success. Tickets may be obtained by applying to any of tho fol-lowing committee, Mr. James B. Holland, Mrs. John F. Bowker, Miss Tillle Rate, Miss Carrie E. Niblo, Miss Hannah Hock-hlll, H. R.

WMITEMARSH William Carper, of Flourtown, seemed to put more confidence lu them, and It was several mlnutea after play was begun before Custer succeeded In losing his man and scored the eighth goal- After this the vleltors played harder than ever and their team work was Indeed flue, which kept the locals from scoring for several minutes more, but Neville finally lost his man and scored the uluth goal. Cox, who had played a hard game closed the scoring with tho tenth goal. The visitors failed to tally In this half and tho game ended, Conshohookeu, 20; Mon-terey, 2.

The loss will reach #12,000 partially Insured. The Catholic Chnrch, on the opposite side of tho street, a large and handsome structure, was saved after the utmost ex-ertion by the firemen, but the adjoining parsonage was badly damaged. Never In the history of that borough have there been so many fires as during the past six-mouths. With very few ex-ceptions these fires were undoubtedly of Incendiary origin. For tho last three Sat-urday nights there havo been disastrous fires, and on Suturday, February 5, there wore two a few hours apart. Property owners are becoming greatly alarmed, and private watchmen are being employed to guard properties, The Identity of the lncondlary Is a mystery, as well as his motive. Insurance companies have notified their agents then- not to Insure stables and other frame buildings, and threaten to raise the Insurance rates If the fires continue. The high winds that are prevalent make these flres of great danger to neighboring struc-tures, as was shown.

Educational Push lu lids age of push and competition the education of a young man or woman is not complete unless it Includes a thorough practical working knowledge of Bookkoep-ing. Business Practice, Shorthand and Typewriting. While the demand of the business world is for trained workers with those qualifications, yet the public schools are making no attempt to provide this special training; hence the birth of the Busiuess College Commercial School, and Its great Importance as a complement to our public school system.
