in yellow calico dresses and brown fur

Correction of a Mistake.

An English paper tells an anecdote Oh
an American lady, who was invited by the
prince and princess of Wales to a garden
party, excusing herself from attending on
the grounds of a previous engagement,
and it sneers at the American lady for not
knowing that royal invitations in this
country are commands. This" says
Vanity Fair, lis all rubbish. The only
royal invitations that are commands are
those of the sovereign herself. Neither
the invitations of the prince of Wales nor
those of the duke of Teck or Prince Henry
of Battenberg are commands in any
sense of the word. The sovereign alone
can command her subjects on their allegi-
ance, and she can only command her own
subjects. Her power of command does
not extsnd to an American or any other
foreigner. New York Sun.

Salt Water IN Smother Flames.

Salt water, in the opinion Of an old fire
man, is what prevented the flames on the
board walk at Atlantic City one Monday
evening from spreading much beyond the
structure where the fire broke out, and
the results seemed to prove the truth Of
his declaration. Although the burning
surrounded by lightly built frame
structures, and the fire, at n time very
big and fierce, was virtually walled within
wood, the flames were finally controlled
by the use only Of hand buckets, with
which water from the ocean was passed
ND to men stationed on the adjoining
buildings. The salt water appeared to
exert a peculiar influence in smothering
the flames and in protecting exposed
woodwork near them.-Chicago Times.

Disrrncefnl To Be Sick.

Doubtless the time will come when it
will be considered n little disgraceful to
be sick. Ignorance or disobedience of the
laws of health will be deemed superlative
folly, and the man who wastes his strength
will be mentioned in the same breath
with the idler and the spendthrift. We
may still sympathize with the invalid, but
it will be in a deprecatory sort OF way,
such pity as we give to the man whose
buildings burn down uninsured, or to the
woman who runs away with the pseudo
nobleman. Doctors may act as health
keepers and give us occasional lectures
from hygienic pulpits, taking such care of
our bodies as ministers do Of our consci-
ences. But that happy era is not ours

Newspaper Men Who Have Gained Moro

The Record does not care to answer, but
this is one so likely to deceive young as
pirants for journalistic fame on the pros
poets before them, that we hasten TO set
the matter right
Yes, there are some journalists who be-
come independent. There are a great
many of them. For instance, In New
York there is Charles Nordof, of The
Herald, who has grown rich on $1,000 O
year. There Is Joe" Howard, Of every
paper which is willing to take any Of his
products, on $4,000 a year. There Is Ed
mund Hudson. the Washington CORE
spondent of The Boston Herald, who Is a
rich man while yet young. We could
name Mr.. William b. Shaw, Wash
ington correspondent Of The Boston
Transcript, who, on q modest salary,
has accumulated a very handsome for
tune. And take Eugene Field, the funny
man OF The Chicago News, who lives in
great style and spends money like water.
and Mr.. Mexican, the editor Of The Phila-
delphia Ledger n Of the most thriving
gentlemen of that prosperous city.
We might speak of Whitelaw Reid, who
has made his everlasting fortune in jour
nalism, and Charles A Dana, with his
s2O,OO0 a year salary. In fact the woods
are full Of them; and coming nearer to
Boston, there Is our genial friend Col
Taylor, of The Globe, and Police Commits

Ernst, Of The Beacon, and numerous 9TH

laid the foundation Of wealth

NOW'S THE TINE TO PUSH
THINGS.

Our special offer, as ALREADY an
nounced, is to send THE FREEMAN,
at rate of One Dollar a Year to all
new subscribers secured between
now and November next.
The FREEMAN has no other bust
ness or purpose than to renGsr the
best possible service in the cause
of Prohibition to the largest pos
sible constituency.
If it can materially enlarge its
constituency, it can come and con-
tinue to come at one dollar. 1t is
for our friends to say whether its
subscription lists shall be doubled
or trebled. If they so decide, the
matter is settled.
If Prohibition sentiment is de-
veloped and crystalized into law, it
must be done largely through the
medium of Temperance papers,
To get these papers into fami-
lies, requires the active work of
friends in every neighborhood.
We earnestly ask all such friends
to whom this message comes, TO
start at once the work of getting

GEN. FISK FOR GOVERNOR.
The New Jersey Prohibitionists
had a grand State Convention at
Newark, last week, with 1893 dele
gates present.
The w. c. T. U. of the city of
Newark entertained the delegates.
The sessions were harmonious and
the enthusiasm unbounded.
The following is the essence of
the excellent platform adopted:
"We reaffirm our allegiance to the
National Prohibition Party and ia
vor both State and National Con-
stitutional Prohibition of the i'm
portation, manufacture and sale of
alcoholic beverages. We affirm
that all who license, or in any way
favor the continuance of this traffic,
and all Legislatures which license
and all political parties which fla
vor license, and all men who vote
for parties which license, or for par
ties which will not declare for pro-
hibition (where there is Prohibi-
ton parity, do make themselves
accessory to the liquor crime and
equally guilty with the man who
carries on the traffic. We declare
that total abstinence for the indi-
vidual and the prohibition of the
liquor traffic by the State lie at
the threshold of labor reform.
Resolutions were adopted favor
ing free competition of railroads
and laws requiring physiology
and hygiene to be taught in public
schools.
The platform was adopted by a
rising vote and the doxology was
sung.
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk was nomi-
mated for Governor by reclamation,
and large fund subscribed for the
campaign, which will be made ag-
gressive from the start.
Among the prominent Prohibi-
tionists present and addressing the
Convention, were Hons. H. G. Bas-
com, Horace Boole, and Horace Wa
tiers, of New York.
1t was a big day for New Jersey
Prohibitionists, big with promise
of future victory.
