tirely new designs. Stylish Hats

"A slight fire occurred at McCready's

past three this morning, owing to the

alarm was given by the Fleet Wing bell,
but our firemen's services were not need

were soon put out by its own apparatus.
The loss is small-not over twenty five

The State Military Encampments have
been considered expensive Injuries, with
more Of picnic character than anything
else. The men, however, think they
ought to be paid, and it is stated that As
semblyman Harrigan will introduced a
bill in the Legislature next Winter to pay
National guardsmen $3.50 a day while
they are epcamped. While this would add
largely to the expense there seems no
good reason why the men should not re-
ceive some compensation. Itwould, how
evcr be likely to reduce the frequency of
such gatherings to once in two or three
years.

Professor Sumner, the political econo-
mist, who is nothing if not ultra, said,
in reference to unemployed and needy
workmen, that the best way to help them,
is to do nothing for them; whereby they
and Others in their position will be COM
PEELED to be self-reliant. Fortunately for
humanity, the science of political econo-
my does not determine all the relations OF
human existence. There is something
else besides production and consumption,
the law of rent and the rule of wages.
"Do as you would be done by is not
mentioned in the politico-eeonomioa
primer, but it is maxim that has come
down through all the ages, and not bad
one to work out. Political econmy has
its uses, but there are things not dreamed
of in the political economists philosophy

Hot water as an external remedy is
doomed by DR.. Dio Lewis, who says: al

of treatment one and one alone. with
which would undertake to combat hui
man suffering, without a moments hest
tation, should select hot lamentations.
For pains in the spine and shoulders, for
pains in the chest, stomach and abdomen,
for pains in the limbs, for pains in any
and every part of the body, hot fomenta
tions constitute the best single remedy.
The old fashioned method, with flannel
wrung out of hot water, is good one"

"A. J. Solomon held party in his
new ball room, yesterday evening. This
was the initiatory festivity of the season.
DIR. Huffnagle preached in the Point

on Sunday, and will do so again on the
coming Sabbath.
The stove dealers are quite happy
over the cold spell. The frigid wave pass

There were remarkable and decided
signs of approaching Winter at Point
Pleasant on Sunday. In spite of the rays
of the morning sun, large icicles, at least
one foot in length, were hanging from
the huge rocks skirting the river bank,
along the road leading from the village.
There is to be an entertainment in
the Baptist Church, in Lambertvile, on
Thanksgiving night, by the children of
the Free Church kindergarten, to which

As all of the past entertainments have
been of great interest, this promises to be

ing very handsome church, having very
pretty interior decorations, the chancel
and its furniture having been the work Of
the pastor S own hands, held select en-
tertainment in Lyceum Hall, Lambert
vile, ON Monday night. The exhibition
comprised stereoptcon representation
of over one hundred scenes (photog raphs)
of European and American views and
scenery, and was one of the most instruo-
tive and entertaining lectures ever given
in Lambertvile. The pictures were over
fifty feet in circumference and brilliant. 1t
is pity we cannot have such highly IN
teresting, chaste, profitable and instruc-
tive exhibitions in our town. We need
public hall badly and should have one by
all means. When will we learn to grasp
what is progressive and useful for us /?

the disappearance of Mr.. J G. Blackwell,
of this city, on the evening of Monday of

against the piling on the north side. The
body was taken in charge by Coroner Fl.

last Thursday, for the benefit of the Stry-

every way. The display of flowers was
fine, and no one could imagine before see-

species of flower could be produced. They
were tastefully arranged also. Besides,
the ladies had on sale some excellent re-
freshments. The net proceeds amount to
sixty-two dollars, which is sum consider
ably beyond the expectations of the ladies
and gentlemen having the exhibition in
charge. Among the exhibitors, Mr.. J.

largest, he having sent one thousand
flowers and over fifty varieties.
