william Riley Says:

That self-esteem is virtue-self-con-
ceit is vice. He who is encased in the
latter is impervious to criticism
That he won't know what to do with
himself after election.
That next Wednesday some of the poll
ticians will want to rent a five acre lot and
go out into the middle of it and kick them
selves all around it.
That his Waterbury Watch is daisy
He got it by subscribing for one year to
the MONITOR
That if the Standard man would mail
the Standard to the MONITOR along with
the other Woodstown mail list the MONI-
TOR would receive the Standard as early as
other folks do instead of twenty four hours 5
later Which reminds him that he sees evil
dence that the MONITOR is appreciated in

House Burned.

On Tuesday afternoon last the house of
Joseph l.. Wright, near the Upper Canal
Bridge, i'll U. p. Neck township, was dis
covered to be on fire. a very hot fire had
been started by Mrs. Wright for ironing,
and i'll short time she discovered the
flames breaking through the weatherboards
around the chimney. The fire rapidly
gained hea way, and in a short time the
house was totally destroyed About two
weeks ago there was an insurance of $1,000
placed on the house, which will nearly
cover the loss.-.SouM Jerseynaan.

The Prohibition meeting held in the Town
Hall, October 23d, was grand success.
But few vacant seats could be found, not
withstanding an entertainment going on
just across the street. in front of the hotel
at the same time. The meeting was opened
with music by the Band of Hope, followed
with prayer by Jacob V. Hodcraft, candi-
date for sheriff An excellent address was
delivered by Rev. ID. B. Harris, followed
by Mr.. Holdcraft and Rev. c. f. Garrison.
No one was surprised at the excitement at
the hotel when the meeting opened, but
many We're surprised when it closed, to
learn that the patent medicine men, had
become disgusted with their audience,
closed their organ, thrown down their vio-
lin and become part of our audience.
Readers may judge from the above that

marks, because we believe in the adage, 1T

VIII Re Missed.

On Tuesday last Prof Adam Geibel met
his music class here for the last time,
his professional engagements in Philadel-
phia together with the approaching inclem-
ent season making it inconvenent for him
to further continue his engagement here.
His pupils here will regret this as he is a
skillful and successful teacher, and has
made many warm friends by his pleasant
and genial manner. Next Monday eve
ming lie and Prof. Pierce will give ''Ser-
vice of Sacred Song" in st. Johns Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, of
which Prot. Geibel is organist.

versation was that of a criminal who
Dragged Of his act rather than of peni-
tent who regretted it.
And now as you stand here to receive
the judgment Of the law for your rank of
fense your position should be a terrible
warning to every youth to whom intelli-
gence of this crime and its expiation may
come. Your life has been a frivolous,
worthless and lawless existence, and it has
led you to the place where you stand to-
day. Had you been an obedient son and
an Industrious and law-abiding young
man that murdered girl would still be liv-
ing and your fathers and mothers life
would have been peaceful and respected.
In few more days your life will pay
the penalty for your awful deed. You
need not foster any hope of any intervention
between the judgment of the law and its
execution. If you have such hopes aban-
don them at once and turn your thoughts
to the rapid approach of the day ofyour ex-
ecutiOn. Do not spend your time in brood
ing over vain hopes of evading the just
penalty of the law, but by penitence and re-
Election try to purge your soul of the guilt
which now rests upon it.
And now the Judgment of the Court is
that you, Howard Sullivan, be taken from
this place to the county jail of this county
and there kept in confinement until the
first Tuesday in December, next, and that
on that day, between the hours of 10
o'clock i'll the forenoon and 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, you be hanged by the neck un-
til you are dead, and may God have mercy
on your soul.
As Judge Reed, with moist eyes, read
this sentence, breathless stiffness pervad-
ed the court room. The prisoner stood
with eyes cast down, holding in front of
him his old straw hat, and beyond a visi-
BILE tremor which shook his frame, gave no
sign of emotion of any sort. He was re-
moved from the court. The audience gave
a sigh of relief, part of the crowd followed
him out, the court took up its routine bust
ness, the lawyers chatted and jokcd, and
ten minutes later no one would have sus-
pected that human being had then and
there just been condemned to the igno-
minous death of gallows.

The Bethel Church War.

Most of the time in the City court yester- day was taken up in hearing the case against the trustees of the A. M. B. Bethel church on Sperry street, who are charged with 8 breach of the peace toward Rev. John B. Stansoury, who was ejected from the church after being sent to minister to the wants of the faithful by Bishop Brown. A large amount of evidence was taken. The trustees did not deny ejecting Mir. .Stansbury from the pulpit, but said no more force was used than absolutely necessary and claimed that they acted as trustees of the church and had the right to eject him. They denied that it was under the jurisprudence of Bishop Brown and the conference for the reason that it had never been dedicated. The arguments were made yesterday afternoon and when they were concluded Judge Studley deferred his decision.
 It is understood that mandamus will be brought before the Superior court to compel the trustees to show cause why they should not permit Rev. MT. Stansbury to take charge of the church.
