A NON-SECTARIAN    ^^^^"^ ^^^ heard in new home CHURCH AT MERRICK
The Rev. Hugo Pohlman Will
Begin Services at Firemen's
Hall on Sunday Evening
MOVEMENT   INCEPTED   LAST   FAU
Recent Letters of Rev. Llttebrandt
Concerning Wednesday's Minstrel
Nothing to do with Situation
A new non-sectarian religious move¬ ment. Is to be Inaugurated at Merrick on Sunday evening by the Uev. Hugo Pohlmann. He will conduct a service In the Are hall at 7.45. The movement had Its inception last fall, but has been furthered during the winter months. Its revival following publicity given to letters written by the Rev. VV. II. Littebrandl of the Episcopal Church to members of the Merrick Club con¬ nected in his parish requeiuing them to refrain from participating in or sup¬ porting a •minstrel of the club next Wednesday evening because of Lent, created an impression that activiiy was renewed because of this Incident.
The Uev. Pohlmann said today that the letters of Uector Llttebrandt had nothing lo do with the situation. He said ttiat a long ime ago he took up the proposition of establishing a religious society In the village with several clergymen in neighboring villages as there was a large number ot non- church going people in the commun¬ ity. No dehnite plan was decided up¬ on. Lately he had again been requesi- ed to take up the proposition with the Idea of obtaining sentiment as to what faith tbe/Boclety should ailillate with. For this purpose, the religious servic¬ es have hen started. Every resident of the village will be welcome at the services and' be given opportunity lat¬ er to express his or her opinion as lo preference.
The letters issued by the Uev. Mr. Llttebrandt continue to be discussed freley among the memhers of the Mer¬ rick Club. Some are "hot under the collar' while others say theey have done no harm.

A"Big Hif'summarizes the min.slrel performance and dance given at Board of Trade Hall, Uoosevelt, Tuesday ev¬ ening by the Harmony Uepublican As¬ sociation, asissted by the Lyric Min¬ strel ompany, of Freeport. Tiie hail was not sufficient in size to acomnio- date the crowd that wanted lo see the minstrel performance and many were turned away disappointed.
To tell of all the hits in llie .show would he a long story, but If anyone deserves the laurels, it is Tom Mc- (,'affrey, the old-time professional, -who has rounded out three score years. "Tom" showed tliat he has not forgot¬ ten the art of fun making and in his original ditty, "The Uoosevelt Board¬ ing House," had everybody roaring with laughter. He also gave an acro¬ batic song and dance that was decid¬ edly out of the ordinary. In a team up with "Billy" Pearsall, as "Tlie Gold Dust Twins," Tom scored another hit.
The comedians of the minstrel, be¬ sides McCaffrey and I'earsall, were Harry Gilman, Jack Mauersberger, Tony P''edden and Charles Raymond. Witfred II. Smith officiated as Inter¬ locutor. All the songs, choruses and jokes received well merited applaui.e. .Mi.ss "Dol" Powell, otherwise known as Miss Marie Broc-kmaii, and Eva Franlvlin assisted in the olio.

Beneath a portico of running smllax and pink roses supporiea by eight young women. Miss Mable Skilton, who a few weeks ago figured In pro¬ bably the most unique romance of a decade when she recrossed the Atlan¬ tic from England, forsaking her call- ins? as a missionary to India, was mar¬ ried to Dr. Frank Pinneo, of Newark, N. J., at the home of her borther, Charles Skilton, In Smith sireet, Rock¬ ville t'entre al three o'clock on Wed¬ nesday afternoon. Some sixty guests, most ot them relatives and immediate friends of the couple witnessed the ceremony, wliich was performed by the Rev. D. N. McDowell, of the Park Presbyterian Church, Newark, ad.sisl- ed by the Rev. Henry Ilulbert, of I Springfield, Mass., and tTie Rev. D. [Herbert O'Dowd of Uockville Centr'e.
The bride was at-tired in a gown of iwhite.charmeu.se trimmed with pearls and carried a shower boqnet of wiilte roses and lillies of the valley. She wore a bridal veil caught up with orange blossoms. Little Hilda Ly¬ man Ilulhert, of Springfield, Mass., acted as flower girl and preceded the bridal couple who talked beneath the tloral ar(-ii. The best man was H. Ir¬ ving Skilton, a  brother of the  bride.
The nuptials were performed in the southwest parlor of the .Skilton home, which was profusely decorated with cut flowers. The bride was given away hy her brother, Charles Skilton. .Miss Cleo Skilton, a cousin of the bride, played Tanhauser's Wedding .March, as the wedding train moved from the  hallway  to the floral  altar.
A wedding breakfast was served following the reremony, and the happy eouple left for Manhattan where they boarded a steamer for Panama yester¬ day morning. Upon their return they will make their home in Newark.
Miss Skilton was engaged as a mis¬ sionary in Bombay, India, for half a decade, a sa representative of the I'resbyterlan Board of Foreign Mis¬ sions. During last July she returned lo Rockville Centre on a leave of ab¬ sence and visited her brother, Charles Skilton in whose home she was mar¬ ried on Wednesday. ?jt*^~
During her stay slie was invited to yiieak at the Park Presbyterian Church of Newark, upon her work in the far east. It was while she was al the church thai she met Dr. Pinneo, su- pelrntendent of the Sunday School. It was a case of love at tirst sight. The doctor called upon her at Uock¬ ville Centre and urged her to become his wife. Miss Skiflon declined to accept his profer of marriage until she co.uid be relieved of her duties as a iiiissionaiy.
Dr. Pinneo undertook to secure .Miss SUilton's release, but she was obliged to return to Inula ou January 1. He bid her goodby and returned to coiiliiiue his labors in her behalf. When the steamer upon which she sailed reached Liverpool she received a cablegram whicli told in a few brief j words of the Doctor's success. She returned on the same steamer, arriv¬ ing late in January. Plans for the wedding were consumated at once.
The romance attracted wide com¬ ment In the press of the couniry. Miss Skilton is a strikingly pretty young woman of about twenty-flve and her husband  is  several yeara her senior.
Neighbor Hendrickson Heard  Re-1
port About 3.45. Left Bed But    \
Saw No One I
The post office at Merlrck received I Its fifth visit within three years from ; yeggmen early    this    morning.      The j safe was "blown" nd money, posi;..Ke stamps amounting to several hundred dollars In value were taken.
The yeggs entered the post office by forcing a window on the north i-.ide of the budding;. They stole a horse blanket from'th* stable of J. W. Birch, the I'ormer ¦ postmaster ot the v'llagy and anoiher from a nearby pUce Bolh were used to deadc-n the -30 "-.d of the explosion in blowing open the kafe.

In fact, when he began election¬ eering in his automobile he was the most prominent electioneer at the election. His car was equipped with 1913 number plates.
3.45 and got oul of bed. He looked oul of the window but sai' no one and returned to his sleep, ilr. and .M -ri. J, F. Edwards who live two doors frorn the post office also heard the cxp'o slon.
The force of the explosion blew thy front door from the safe tore t'p a portion of the olloring near it. Vari¬ ous papers of little or no account were strewn about the floor after Uie yegg- men had opened the safe.
Postmaster Harry R. Zeiner learn¬ ed of the robbery before he reached the office. He look a view of the wreck made by the yeggs and notified the post oflice authorities.
Constable Thoma.s W Murray of Freeport was notified of the robbery and hurried to Merrick. He found no trace of the yeggmen.
An opinion prevails that the yeggs were afoot or had a hor.^e as no auto¬ mobile was heard in the vicinity of the post olhce after the explosion and it is figured that if they had a vehicle thej«^would have brought horgeblank- els along lo cover the safe instead of stealing them.

During the time he was in jail lie is I said to hav* exerted a dominant in¬ fluence over the    keepers,    specially j Miller  and   Clifford,    and    witnesses I state that he was given unwarranted freedom.    On  variou.s  occasions,    ac¬ cording to tliose in the jail at the lime, he was allowed lo visit hotels of the vicinity ot the jail and remain away for   hours   al   night.     His   cell    was never locked when he ordered it left
