At Ivy Bridge, near Plymouth, yesterday,
John Heath Sobey, untii recently = local
preacher and class leader In connection with
the Wesleyan MethOdists was summoned py
Ellen Baker to show cause why he should
not contribute toward the maintenance OF
her alleaitimate child, of which she allegen
him to be the father. In the course OF the
inquiry it appeared that the complainant
was 4 member of the Defendants class, and
that after attending Messrs. Moody and
Sankey's services at Plymouth he behaved
immorally toward her. Though married
man with five children hebegged her to elope
with him While he was going through
Cornwall on mission work Miss Baker IN
formed him in writing of her condition, ana

defendant concluded by subscribing himself,
HYodr loving and saved brother in Christ. "
In a letter to the complainant's sister tee
defendant advised her 70 join his class, maut
alluslons to the "crimson blood which would
wash her whittier than snow" and appealed
to her TO keep close to the cross forever
The defendant denied the charge, deelarinf
lie was as innocent rs angels tn heaven
The chairman said the defendants conduc
was disgusting aud horrible, and he woul'
have to pay five sbillings week until tn
child had attained the age of 10. Notice

ONE OF THE amodes" was observed in a
down town saloon, at late hour, last night,
where several young men, considerably
intoxicated, were becoming noisy and bois-
ferrous. When the young men reached a
stage that threatened open hostilities, the
"model" discreetly slipped outside. This
is favorite procedure with the "models,
and frequently saves them much trouble.

No such pains were ever
taken in gathering and stock
of a former season. We
couldn't do so well, because we
didn't know how. This last
wear has been one Of decided
progress. Growth is manifest
in almost all our departments,
and this means that our mana
gers and people have grown.
1t takes long time to know
Just how to provide Tor such a
trade as ours and quite as long
to select the right people to
serve the customers. While
they know what they want,in-
| iudicions salespeople might
| persuade them. to take some
thing else. 1t is hard to over
come the old habits Of trade,
and our plan is to provide a
iull stock OF everything so that
there is no excuse for palming
off substitutes, and to educate
our clerks to conscientiousness
in serving customers with what
will serve them best and dis
courage them from buying any
other.
The encouragement to lay
in SO large a stock comes from
! the large and steady increase
,, OF business Through the past
e year we have not had a month
. that did not exceed the same
: month of the previous year,
I and this without any wholesale
r business.
e We are therefore not afraid
; to buy in so large a stock to
) give us the grand assortment
r r since the people come to take
e away from our goods. It is &
at at wonder to some how we ever
ts Is sell so large an amount. Why
ad the fact is, some few depart
H. H. ments sell their entire stool
OF OF once a month, others once IL
two months; and there are on
or two month> in the yea
when, if we would not keep o
lot replenishing all the time, tn
.as m, fourth Uf all the stock in ou
d salesrooms would be ose
j" out.
inf ,1t 1t is not generally know
or, that we have on hand all tn
Ird d time, in our Reserve Stock
TED ed and IN the Custom Hous
you about one-third as much as
ad- seen in our warerooms, to b
en- en- fed into the various depar
ave ments to freshen the stock

Exciting Scene in a Courtroom.

A correspondent of the Journal at Prescott
Arizona, gives the following account OF q
tragedy enacted in courtroom, IN which
Judge French, the Chief Justice of the Terri
tory, was presiding at the trial of case emit
tied Kelsey VS.. McAtee, regarding a water
right for irrigating purposes
''In arguing question regarding the ad
instability of certain testimony in the case on
trial Attorney General Churchill and District,
Attorney Ruch became greatly excited and
finally came to blows. While the officers
were endeavoring to restore order McAtee,
the defendant, drew knife, rushed upon a
man named Moore, aged seventy, and infilct-
ed fatal wound Then, turning on c. W.
Beach, late editor of the Prescott Miner and
son-in-law of Kelsey, the plaintiff, sta bbed
him in the neck. He then made rush for
the court reporter and was about to plunge his
knife into him when Mr.. Beach drew re-
volver, sending ball through McAtee's spi-
nal column.
'sOrder was Immediately restored. Moore
and McAtee will die. Mr.. Beach will re-

The Issue of 1884.

Revenue Reform will be the leading issue
of 1884. The Democrats have made it so,
and they will go before the country on that
platform confident of success. 1t will be an
aggressive campaign, fought upon principle.
Tariff for revenue was a plank in the last
Democratic national platform. Although the
party shrank. from its discussion, the Repub-
cans took it up and made their whole fight
upon it. Yet, while they lost the Presidency,
the Democrats had majority on the popular
vote, and would have elected their candidates
but for the wholesale corruption of voters by
money in Indiana, Ohio and New York par
ticularly, and throughout the country in gen
eral Tariff for revenue won in Ohio last
October, and will win in nearly every Western
state next year. The South with Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois, with their 210 electoral votes,
can elect Democratic President without
the aid of any Northern, Eastern or Pacific
state. Yet both New Jersey and New York
can be carried on the platform of revenue re-
form, also California and perhaps other states.

Reasons and Results.

From the Washington Post
A system of taxation SO fatally vicious that
it takes from the earnings of the people annu-
ally hundaed millions more than are
required for all legitimate public uses.
A foreign commerce almost entirely surren-
dered to foreign ship owners
A navy on which halfa billion has been ex-
pended Since the war, but which is officially
confessed to be utterly worthless as to ships
and guns
An army so hopelessly demoralized that it
is dissolved by desertion as fast as it can be
built by recruiting
The Mormon problem in worse shape than
it was when the Republican party declared
war on polygamy twenty-seven years ago;-
These are some of the results of a quarter
of century of Republican rule. These are a
few of the reasons why the country demands
a change. Let the Democratic House set the
ball in motion.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-12-08

Alexander X. Mcclure, editor of the Phil
adelphia Times, who for some years squinted
towards Democracy, is now giving evidence
of dementia. He is for opposing the South
ern ''sectionalism of the Democrats, as al
legged in the election of Carlisle as Speaker,
by nominating Grant, ''the strongest candi-
date northern sectionalism can present" who
would carry more southern states than any
Republican in the country" IfMcClure does
not need straight jacket, then he is entitled
to the cap and BELLS

The four Democratic congressman from this
state voted against the views Of their constit-
ueneies in the Democratic caucus last Satur-
day night Whether they did it as personal
favor or for the hope opposition, it was wrong
Neither the one nor the other should weigh
with representatives of the people. If they
voted their sentiments, it was wrong, and a
MISREPRESENTATION of those who elected them.
A representative of the people should sink
self and reject the views of his constituents.
None other can be representative man.
Maryland Democrats are opposed to protec-
tive tariffs for the sake of protection, ane
when their delegates voted for Randall for
Speaker of the House, they voted against the
sentiments and interests of the party. Let us
send new men to the next congress.

Makes Ones Hair Stand on End.

From the BdHjm0redH:
The proprietors ofthe Democratic Adrocdte,
Westminster, Nd. announce that their jour
nal has enteredits 18th year. It's one of the
most readable papers in the State, but in
times of high party excitement the editors do
exhibit their fierce Democracy with an inten-
sity that fairly makes ones hair stand on end.
The ADVOCATE has the courage of its con-
victions, and is thoroughly Democratic. tits
not blown about by every wind of doctrine.
1t does not run after false gods. Itrenders no
half-hearted service to its party. 1t believes
in supporting Democratic principles, and that
those principles can best be sustained by
maintaining the organization of the party
against all insidious efforts to weaken or de
strov it,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-12-08

Congress has organized and gone to work,
but little will be done until after the commit
tees are formed in the House, which will be
done next week. Two amendments to the
constitution have been proposed in the Sen
ate-one on civil rights of negroes, and the
other to prohibit the manufacture, sale and
importation of alcoholic liquors. Quite Q
number of bills have been introduced in each
house on various subjects, many of which will
not, and should not, ever get further thar
committee rooms.

reported that they have no presentments to

fight, and that the whites used their firearms
in defense of their lives, which were in immi-
nent danger, and by their courage and pluck
in standing up against such odds saved the
lives of hundreds of people in the city.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-12-08

President Arthur transmitted his third an
nual message to Congress on Tuesday. 1t is
shorter than such documents usually are, yet
too long for the columns of a weekly paper,
and we publish synopsis of it from the Bal
timore Sun. This will be sufficient, for it is
a good summary, and few of our readers
would care to read the whole message.
The President has not said much to pro-
woke criticism, favorable or otherwise. The
most of his message is mere recital, in a
business way, of facts and figures, and CON
tains but few recommendations.
