OBITUARY.


c"hA Va 3AHb. HhsTNh0 o. ShoeA0T.
Mrs. Martha S. Shaeffer, widow of the
late Gen. Bartram A. Shaeffer, died at her
residence on West Orange street at half
past twelve o clock to-day, after linger-
IN" illness, of consumption. Though not
unexpected the event will cast gloom
over a wide circle Of friends and acquaint-
anccs, TO whom the many admirable traits
of her character, her social and benevo-
lent disposition and the qualities that
distinguish true and noble woman
hood had closely cndeared her
whilst tho grief Of her bereaved
family is scarcely less poignant be-
cause Of this final and inevitable result of
sickness that has for so long confined her
to a bed of pain and evoked the sympathy
and solicitude of the large number WHO
enjoyed the privilege Of her acquaintance
and companionship. Tho benevolent and
charitable instincts of tho deceased lady,
whilst quiet and unostcntatious, were
always pronounced and genuine, and tho
poor and needy, the suffering and friend
less, were never allowed to want where it
lay in her power to aid them. The deeds
OF charity performed by her in manner
entirely devoid of parade or vain display
are the most enduring moments of char
acter beloved in life and bonored in death.
Mrs. Shaeffer, who was sister of the
late Matthew and Jacob Strickler,
leaves q family consisting of Mrs. Chas
E. CAST, of Peublo, Col. Mrs. DR..
Shiveiv, of Waynesboro, Pa, and Miss
Matte and Mr.. John C.. Shaeffcr, of this
city, all of whom wcro present to soothe
and comfort the last moments on earth of
loving mother AID IN estimable Chris
tian lady.

SCARLET FEVER.

Malignant Type Raging In Berks County.
PHILADELPHIA, April 14.-With regard
to alarming rumors Of an epidemic of
scarlet fever in Berks county a special dis
patch from Allentown II this afternoon says:
Since January last malignant form Of
scarlet fever has been raging in Boyertown.
situated in the lower end of Berks county,
with population of over 1900. For .
few weeks there was an average of'twO or
three deaths daily in the borough and
vicinity, and at present time there is but
little abatement. 1t is not an unusual
thing to witness three or four funerals in
one day. Last week there were thirteen
deaths from scarlet fever, and up to this
time nine have been reported this
week. The disease is not confined to
children only, but quite a number of
grown persons have been afflicted with
fatal results. In most cases death follows
within few days after the appearance of
the first symptoms. The physicians seem
to be unable to cope with the disease.
The origin of the disease is mystery as
the writer is very pure and BOyertown
has always heretofore been an unusually L.
healthy place. Tie authorities are now
at . loss to know what to do, as they have
already applied nearly everything that is
generally conducive to checking the dis
ease. It is estimated that since the first
appearance of scarlet fever there have
been over 100 deaths in the borough and
immediate vicinity.

SHEPHERDS STORY.


What the Witness Cnderstood From Secre-
tary BIaine's Marginal Note to Minis
ter Aurlbut, I" Go In. steve."
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-The
Shipherd Investigation was continued this
morning. Witness said the subject of the
war with Chill was never discussed with
Blaine or Blair. The question of war was
never mentioned in connection with the
Landrean claims. Witness was not
aware that General Grant ever wrote,
saying it was time the United States
should stop.
Witness declined to say what he meant
by the statement that "He was awaiting
whatever course Mr.. Blaine might pursue
when he (Shipherd) might have something
to say.'' Witness said there were grave
reasons why Blaine did not give his wit
ness') letter to the attorney general for
criminal action, but did not state the rea.
sons.
Witness declined to state what passed
between him and President Arthur when
he presented Gen. Grants letter of intro
ductiOn. The conversation had relation
to the Peruvian company, but what rela-
tion witness refused to state. Witness or
his associates never entertained the slight
est suspicion of war with Chill.
Witness impression as to the meaning
Of the marginal note "GO in, Steve was
that the wishes of the department We're
that HuIlbut should 90 on in the course
he was pursuing, regardless of the text Of
the dispatch
Witness declined to state whether the
draft of instructions which General Grant
had any illusions to the possi-
bility of q war with Chill.
Witness stated he had never received
any autograph letter from Blaine and all
his correspondence with the secretary has
been published.
Witness further examination was post
poned until tomorrow.
Adjourned.

A
JOHN WANAMAKER'S.
PHILADELPHIA.
FRIDAY:
FRIDAY:

Linens.-We limited the other
day at the fact that two very diff
ferent prices were current upon
certain linens of the same quail
ity, the higher prices being upon
linens bearing the brand Of we'll
known makers, and the lower
prices being upon linens of the
same quality, but bearing the
brand ofless well-knownmakers
or bearing no brand at all, the
makers name being withheld
from the public.
The fact exists precisely as we
statedit. We illustrated thy two
makes of underwear linen, both
of which we keep; two makes so
nearly alike that nobody but an
expert can tell which is which;
but the expert can see that the
unknown linen the w hnen)
is the better of the two, though
it costs only thirds.
The fact is a great deal broad
er than we have given an init
nation of. 1t is a general fact
that celebrated makes of linen
bring higher prices than equally
good linens of obscure or un-
known makes. 1t is a still more
general fact that celebrated
makes of anything bring higher
prices than obscure or unknown
makes.
Let ussee justwhat thismeans.
You are willing to pay some
thing for the guarantee of a
great name; and the less you
know of the goods. the more
you are willing to pay for the
But experts in
linen are few hence the linen
makers name has especial
weight.
Nowwhatdoes thegreat linen
maker do? Just what you or We
would do in his place. He can't
make a tenth enough, may be,
to supply the demand for linens
bearing his name. He goes into
the market and buys the best
raw linens he can buy; bleaches
them; puts his brand on them,
and sells them. You buy them
by the brand and pay his price.
There is no trick. It is we'll
known among makers and first
hands what the brand means.
Nobody heretofore probably has
told you what it means. Itmcans
that that maker has approved
the linen that bears his name;
has bleachedit it; and by bleach
ing it has put on it his peculiar
finish. In other words, when
you trust the brand, you trust
the maker as a buyer.
The whole object of saying
these things is this. We keep
the famous brands of linens for
those who want them. We.buy,
also, on the judgment of our
|inen-buyer, linens from makers
no matter how remote or UNI
known and in this latter way
we make our money 60 fifty per
cent. farther; and you make
yours 60 fifty per cent. farther
by buying out of our stock on
your own judgment. For will
you see two linens, alike, side
by side; and pay a half more
for a brand? Some will; and
some will not. We are content
either way.
