Captain Eads's ship railway scheme has
received quite II boom from President
Cleveland's favorable mention of it in his
message and Nicaragua canal stock on the

to be no doubt that the Eads project is
feasible. Much less capital is needed fol
it, than for canal it will not take SC
long to complete the work the passage
across the Isthmus will be more rapid and

1t is no wonder that the Republicans of
Ohio are disguised with the decision of
the State supreme Court in the Cincinnati
election cases. The Circuit Court decided
that the returns of certain precincts had
been fraudulently altered, and therefore
should not be counted. The case, how
ever, was carried to the supreme Court of
the state, and owing to the unfortunate
circumstance that one of the four judges,
Republican, was ill-Was reversed, two
Of the remaining three judges being
Democrats. The court thus by Il partisan
decision ordered the fraudulent returns to
he counted, and by this extraordinary
travesty OF justice the State Senate is
made Democratic, and thirteen fraudu-
lently elected members are sent to the
House, This Is one of things which succeed
for once but are likely to react in future,
The people Of Dakota are very naturally
indignant over the recent decision of the
supreme Court, that the title to land
grant property in that territory is still
vested in the railroads to which the lands
were given by Congress. The owners OF
thousands of farms which they have i'm
proved and brought under cultivation are
thus deprived of their legal titles to the
property ON which they have spent ST
much time and money, Furthermore, the
holders Of mortgages on these farms are

We bought Onr stock in January, which
We paid strictly cash for every dollars
worth of goods we bought, which gave us
the benefit of the cash discount. Merchants
in the east were hard up and we had no
trouble in making our own price on great
many goods, as some of the jobbers were on
the verge of bankruptcy and our money
came in handy.
We have no rent to pay, as we own the
building we do business in.
We employ no clerks. In fact our expen-
ses for selling goods is mere nominal sum.

 Championship Game at the Lawn
 Club Grounds.
 Much interest has been manifested in the Lawn club over the contest for the champion racquet of the gentlemen's singles and when it was announced that the game would be played on Saturday afternoon large num- Der of interested club members and their friends put in an appearance. The light costumes of the ladies interspersed here and there with the costumes of the tennis players scattered about on the beau tiful lawn and set off by the foliage in the background and the tennis court with it's two players, each exerting himself to the utmost to obtain the proud title of champion, lent air of excitement blended with that of repose which is apt to remain long in the memory of those who were 50 fortunate as to be present. The final having been called at p. m. it was awarded to MT. F. G. Beach over Mr. W. L. Thacher by forfeit, the latter not putting in an appearance. At about D. m. the two gentlemen who were to contest for the honor of the day appeared on the court and commenced to toy with the balls so as to get the eye and hand trained each to it's best ability When . little time had elapsed the umpires appear ed, judges were placed and the final of the tournament commenced. And now the struggle begins. Eager ladies clap their hands and enthusiastic gentlemen exclaim as point after point is made by superb drives and placings, cuts and Jobs. The event showed what an advance had been made in the way the game is played over last falls playing, when the same gentlemen appeared against each Bother. Balls flew like bullets oy- CT the net and so close as to not afford an half inch space between the net and ball. The ball driven to the right line and thought to be safe would be reached and returned only to be put as far away on the left line; and so rally followed rally until as result the champion of last year succeeded in defeating his very energetic competitor. The score was in the best three out of five sets and A. L. Ripley won, 6-3, GA, 3-6, 6-2, and continues to hold the club racquet. Both gentlemen have been in constant practice and have had the honor of beating the intercollegiate champions at more than one meeting since the season opened this year. The club are therefore disposed to be 8 little proud of them and feel sure that they will add laurels to the reputation of the club before the year ia ended

TO HEAR PENTECosT.
Large oengregations-much 1nteres

Large COngregat1Ons-NUu ucn interest,"
 The Rev. George F. Pentecost preached a very instructive sermon at the Church of the Redeemer yesterday afternoon. The preach CT took for his text the last part of the tenth verse of the twenty-third chapter of Num- bers, s'Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." The preach CT said that many desired to live the life of the sinner and then die the death of the righteous. The righteous man was not like the Pharisee of old, who smote his breast while praying, nor does he live for selfish pur- pose The righteous man lives for two worlds, for this and the world to come. He is merely sojourner here. The preacher has the same earnest manner and style that is so remarkable in MT. Moody. He also preached in the morning at the same church. Very large congregations were present and people fiocked to hear him from all parts of the city, Fair Haven and Westville and a number drove in from adjoining towns.
