Another Glass Works.

Bridgeton may be known in the fu-
ture, as a glass manufacturing city,
and before Fall comes, there may be
another factory in operation in addi-
ton to all those to be operated. There
is movement on foot, the principal
parties being Mr.. John b. Getsinger
and Walter III. Bacon, to have the
buildings on South Laurel street, the
property of the former gentleman, re-
moved to Riverside, the property of
Mr.. Bacon, and there arrange for
somebody to take hold of the factory
and put it in operation this year.
No fixed arrangement has yet been
decided upon. 1t may be if the houses
are moved to the property. certain
glass works may be induced to accept
the factory and run it on the cooper
ative plan, while they may have the
houses and property rent free for a
year or two. Or it may be that in
ducements will be offered to some
manufacturer to locate here and take
charge of the works, which would be
advantageous to such business.
Mr.. Bacon is determined to boom Riv
erside and we believe he will do it.
The advantages of the placeGfor manu-
factoring purposes are many and once
some prominent business is started in
that locality the place is bound to
flourish. Let some such arrangements
as are spoken of above come. Let us
have more factories of all kinds and
make Bridgeton one of the first cities
of the state. That is what we want
and will have if such progressive men
as mentioned are determine to advance
the best interests of the city.

A lady living on the Deerfeld pike,
a few days since went to Philadelphia
and purchased beautiful white dress
for her little girl. The other day she
washed it and hung it upon line to
dry, and few COWS that were passing
near by beheld it and in few moments
ate it up. The same day brother
hung out a vest upon line and the
COWS also masticated this. A dollar had
been left in the vest, but fortunately
this had not been eaten by the greedy
COWS, and it was found upon the
ground.

A PLEASANT TINE.
South Jersey Editors Dine at
Pitman Grove.

For several years past it has been
the custom for Squire James Cassidy
to invite the newspaper men of this
locality to dine with him at Pitman
Grove. Invitations were sent out a
short time ago and Thursday quite a
number of reporters and publishers
responded. Those who came down
from Camden were provided with a
private car and were cordially received
by the Squire at Pitman station and
escorted to the grove. Quite mum Der

last season, and in many places work.
men were busy in getting things ready
for Summer guests and the great
crowds who look forward with joyous
anticipations for the commencement
OF the Camp Meeting, which begins in
August. An exceptionally good time
is expected this year, as very eminent
talent has been secured to assist in the
various services. Most of the cottages
are rented, and a large crowd is looked
for.
About half past one o'clock, the
party, headed by Squire Cassidy Wen
ded their way to the Montgomery
restaurant, where chicken pot. pie
dinner was served, of which the Cam.
den contingent partook largely, which
they washed down with mixture of
iced tea, coffee, milk, mince pie and
| ice cream.
| After dinner Rev. A. E. Ballard
| quoted little Scripture and twisted il
a little so as to make it fit the reporters,
throwing in few insinuations about
their being gentlemen, and wound up
| by giving them hint that Pit nan
Grove stood in need of little putting.
As the boys were pretty we'll puffed
up with pot-pie they could hardly re-
fuse to reciprocate. Among those
pIesent were L. w. Albright, of the

A Business Melody,

There was man of our town.
And he was wondrous wise,
For when he marked his prices down,
He then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main
He marked still lower every price
And advertised again.
-Ne'1 York Moiaiag Journal.
And when he advertised again
His rivals loudly swore,
To see folks rush with might and main
To patronize his store.
And while they sat in solitude,
And saw him custom win,
That man behind the counter stood,
And raked the shekels in.
Charleston Ne,os.
And when he raked the shekels in,
And saw his fortune rising,
He took goodly lot of tin
and kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink.
And demonstrate fun plain n3
The more one pays for printers ink
The greater is the gain,
And thus this course he did pursue, ~
Aseach year made its round,
3 Until the END of life did come
And he laid in the ground.
And when his funeral was DER
And the mourners had gone home,
The grateful printers whom he'd helped.
His virtues did make Known. =.

When the goose quill went out as a
writing implement before the steel

e new outlet for their industry in
turning the quills into toothpicks.
But now when the quill toothFick is
disappearing before the Insignificant
splinter of wood, what shall be done
with the quills? Yankee ingenuity
seems not to have tackled the problem
yet, but no doubt good use will be

What q Reporter Must Be.

Reporters differ in many ways.
Some are purely descriptive, in some a
bump of humor is magnifcently de-
veloped, some permeate story, short
or long, and indices of personality
Others are cast iron in recital, and
make their stories as piquant as an
algebraical problem. Agood reporter,
gifted with natural spirits and health,
is a thing of beauty and joy forever
in any well regulated newspaper Office.
Every door is open to him, and the
field of life is spread before him with
its sunshine and its shadow. In the
course of an evening he talks with
presidents and walks with princes. He
sits with the sorrowful and mourns
with the humble. No place is too
sacred, none too lowly; no man is too
high, too rich, too great for him to
approach, none too poor, too humble
for him to serve. He is as much at
home in the palace of a millionaire as
in a hospital ward of a prison. He
writes with equal readiness the glib
utterances of a befrilled bishop and the
narrowing confession of poor devil
in the prisons.
A good reporter must be discreet.
How much he hears he cannot tell;
how much he knows that it would not
be fair for him to reveal. He sees the
best and worst types of society, and
has his hand more constantly upon the
pulse of affairs than any minister,
lawyer, doctor or merchant.

At Rest.

Az 60SG.
Amid the most solemn exercises and
in the presence of a very large num-
ber of grief stricken relatives and
friends, all that was mortal of the late
Mrs. Rev. T. L. Gardiner, of Shiloh,
was laid in the grave at the Baptist
cemetery OF that place on July 25th.
After this solemn duty the great con-
gregation slowly filed into the church,
and listened to an eloquent, touching
sermon from Rev. w. Lewis, who II
years ago it will be remembered, oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Shiloh Church,
as its pastor
The people of the community, who
had without hardly an exception,
loved and respected the deceased, had
brought to the church offerings of
flowers, three OF them being designs, a
harp, cross, and crown. The text taken
by the reverend gentleman who preach
ed at the request of the deceased,
made before life took its flight, was
found in Isaiah, 44th chapt., and 10th
verse. From this he drew beautiful
lessons and spoke in tender, loving
works of her who had passed beyond.
During the address there was scarcely
dry eye in the house. The pail
bearers acting for the occasion were:
William Hummel, DIR. ]. G. Sweeney,
Theodore F. Davis, Frank g. Glaspey,
Robert Ayars, A. s. Randolph.

The health of Cape May as seaside

believed the dam will be removed.

Although the blackberry season has
not yet reached its zenith, yet there
were shipped from Hammonton for
the week ending July 18th, about
100000 quarts, for the picking of which

growers $2s,000. The freight bill on
these berries was $4,000.
Judge R. J. Byrnes, OF Hammonton,
had tract of land in that town which
he thought SO barren and sandy as to
be unsaleable. Finally thrifty Ital-
ian came along and courageously pur-
chased the tract, from which suppos-
edly barren soil, he has this year sold
blackberries enough to net him $4,000.

Seeking Homes for Italians.

The agitation against Italian immi-
grafton has led number of promi-
nept Italians, who are members of the
Colonization Society of New York, to
make tour through South Jersey
with a view of securing sites for colon
les. Considerable attention was given
to an examination of the Russian
refugee colony at Alliance, which is
located four miles from Vineland. also
the Jewish colonies at Carmel and
Rosenhayn, together with the prosper
GUS Italian settlement in South Vine
land, commonly called New Italy. The
inspection was highly satisfactory.
At Alliance the exiled Jews were
found raising small fruit at the present
time and accommodating money. In
winter and fall they are engaged
manufacturing light coats and cheap
pants for New York clothing houses.
Nearly every family owns sewing
machine. At Carmel they are less
prosperous, for they do little or no
farming, being exclusively engaged in
the manufacture of clothing. These
colonies are on line of the New Jer-
sey Southern Railroad, and in direct
communication with New York. The
Italians who colonized in Vineland
some ten years ago are all wealthy.
Their main industry is raising fruits
and making wines. There is consider
able pine land scattered along this
route which can be easily developed,
where the surplus Italian population
of Philadelphia and New York could
be colonized, and if they are kept at
work would soon be able to care for
themselves Goods to manufacture
can be easily delivered. During the
last two years the Italians have become
accepted farm help, and thousands
were taken from Philadelphia and
utilized on the truck and berry farms.

PUSHES on before, and plunges into the
sink with rush. This has only
to be repeated once or twice
before the car is emptied.
Years ago, when all cars were unloaded
by men with shOvels it took ten men
about half an hour to unload car, but
by the new plan car can be emptied in
about five minutes. In big elevators
there are number of ELEVATORS or
'1egs," and when all are working the
scene is lively one. After the grain is
unlOaded and carried to the top of the
elevator or ''leg," 1t is cast from the
scoops into the scale bins, of which there
are two to each ''leg." When one is
filled a swivel, sort of chute, is swung
around to the other bin, and this is filled
while the wheat in the other bin is being
weighed. The chute is away at the TOD
Of the elevator and any one who wishes
to see it must be willing to undergo
a hard climb.
These weighing bins stand on either
side of the scale, and when the wheat
has been weighed sluices in the side of
the bins are opened, and the grain
passes down into storage bins. On the
floor below the annex, on which the scale

is negotiable anywhere. However,
special bins,at special prices, are always
obtainable.
In Minneapolis there are nineteen ell
evatOrS and anneXes with total capac-
ity of 1880, 600 bushels. Through these
nineteen elevators and the private ones
of the mills, most of the grain shipped
from Minnesota and Dakota passes.
This grain may remain stored here
for one or two days only, and it
may remain in the tall, towering build
lngS for a year or mOrff as
the owners see fit, only
the longer it remains, the
heavier grow the storage charges. Few
people passing one of the Minneapolis
elevators pause to consider how much
money is stored inside, and yet should
one OF the buildings, with all the grain
there stored, be entirely destroyed by
fire some one would probably be fnan-
cially ruined. Around these elevators
are always large numbers of tame
pigeons, which make their nests under
the rafters and rear their young within
sound of the roaring machinery. Some
times pair of pigeons, more adyentur-
GUS than the rest, will seek an entrance
into the building, and on some big beam
or iron rod make nest and rear their.
young. These birds live by picking up

bins stand. there are a number of
chutes rising up from the floor in cir
cles, slanting from the scale bins, at
the bottom of which is a swivel
chute, which can be turned and swung
to any one of the ::chutes leading.
down through the floor to the various
storage bins. Each chute leads to DIFF
ferent bin. and each bin is given over
to a certain grade or kind of wheat,
Before the wheat goes into the elevator
it is subject to rigid inspection by the
chief inspector or one of his deputies.
Eachinspector is around with long in
strument, looking at first glance not
unlike mammoth sky-rocket. This
pole is iron tipped and has at the bottom
end a small iron bucket or cylinder
which, when driven down into lot Of
wheat, releases itself from the stock and
becomes filled with the grain. as soon
as the stock is drawn out the inspector
pulls out the bucked by means of cord
attached to it, and thus obtains wheat
from the bottom of the car. There is
liable to be swindling in grain selling
just as there is in any other business,
but these inspectors have made it eX-
ceedingly difficult for any one to dispose
of car filled three quarters with poor
wheat and the rest with good wheat. If
