THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1881.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1SSL
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be
fore in its histOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
fierCely criticized. with a more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able SSOff of contributions
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made 1t successful and powerful
in the past
! THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance. but viii meet every issue. as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, ana the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia. it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value 10 newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciSeneSs and freshness with which it is
edited. The TINES spends layishly for news
from all parts OF the world, but al ITS us
patches are carefully edited and condensed. in
order to give the complete news OF the DAY IN
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and inSJruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make il journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle. a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious ana social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers or twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially IN the thriving centres
of rural population have made the old weekly
metropolitan HENStdA titSt1AlSi me- lLAt>t.
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our mountaineering people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but a shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness. but it
Is gone: and. with it. they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault of the papers: it was the i'm
prOvement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live. now require freSheT news: and they re-
quire more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers of the types Of
every passing week whatever mas lasting IN
tereSt to the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generOsityOf paper and print as
would have astonished Us all twenty yeOrs ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents week, fifty cents 3
month. Sc a year, two cents a copy.
SUNDAY-Four cents copy, = a year.
WFEkLY-One copy. s. year; five copies.
IS a year: ten copies. SIS q year; twenty cop
les SIS year, with ONE copy free to the getter-
up of every club.

We shall hate to see Fildes sell
himself out of the Gainesville Bee,
for we shall miss his stirring, ener-
getic nominations for governor and
his racy essays on the pleasant
weather and the healthfulness of his
town. The gorgeous hues of spring
will be strangely at variance with
our feelings when we become aware
that this amiable man is no longer
struggling for existence as one of
the guild.

friends could wish, and seemed, in fact,
says a dispatch, ''to be rather feeble"

fessors We're accustomed to denounce his
method of teaching singing as 1.-THE HUI

The Times-Union is growing to be
real chatty and neighborly of late.
Now we like that, and that's bust
ness. There's nothing that knocks
the gall out of a rural editor so
quick as to hear himself styled "our
esteemed contemporary" By and
by we are going to invite the Times
Union tolay aside its Hot Spring dia-
monds and voluptuous shirt collar
and come down and shoot some ele-
plants out of our preserves.

Editor Graves has quit killing
flies with his elastic garter long
enough to discharge a stickful of
brocaded oratory in this direction.
From the general hiliarity of this
address we judge that Col. Graves
considers the political chronological
table in the transom of his
editorial page a good joke. That's
all right. We supposed it was a
joke, but we never imagined it was
a good joke. We stand corrected.

SAD ACCIDENT.
Drowning of II. Ward Dart Of the
steamer Nugget"

1t is our painful duty to chronicle
the drowning of II. Ward Dart in
the st. Joseph river Thursday. The
news reached here by stage Friday
evening and the fact was conveyed
to us through brief note from the
heart-broken father Of the young
man. Mr.. Dart was interested in
the steamer "Nugget' built on CGur
PAlene lake during the past winter
and plying between Pennington and
other points on the lake carrying
freight and passengers bound for the
mines to Kingston, some miles up
the river. He has been running on
the steamer as captain since the sea-
son opened, some three weeks ago.
Thursday about noon while the
steamer was running down the river,
he started to speak to the pilot and
stumbling over a coil of rope or slip
ping on the steps fell overheard.
He came to the surface two or three
times, but before the boat could be
stopped he'had sunk. 1t is supposed
that he chilled at once, as the water
is very cold, and was from that cause
unable to make struggle to keep
affOat. G.. p. Dart, Esq, father Of
the deceased, is on the lake with Il
party Of sympathetic friends search
ing for the body.
II. Ward Daft came to this city
with his parents last fall and has
been engaged with his father put
ting up mill machinery, at which he
was occupied when the idea occurred
to him to construct a steamer to run
to the mines. He was just % years
of age, his ,deoth occurring on the
anniversary of his birthday. While
quiet unassuming gentleman, yet
among friends he was Il genial, pleas
ant companion. He was a young
man of most exemplary character,
perfectly free from any of the vices
that are too common among the
youth of our country, and had the
full confidence and respect of all who
knew him. He was dutiful, affec-
tiOnate son, a warm, generous friend,
and a gentleman of high moral
worth. Most sincerely do we regret
his untimely death, and extend to
the afil tted and suffering parents our
deep sympathy, an expression of
feeling we only wish could make
their burden lighter. The shock is
doubly painful to the father and
mother, as it is only some two years
ago since they lost a beautiful and
accomplished daughter by drowning!
