An Invention for Gamers.

Joseph S. Durham, of Salem, has in-
vented what he calls an acid distributor,
being designed to place the acid on tomato
cans before soldering. Where Gaping is
done by a machine, Mr.. Dunham's inVen-
ton can put the acid Oh a tray of a dozen
cans as quickly as on one; while for fac
tories where the Gaping is lone by hand,
one Of the cylinders which contains the
acid is only used. The invention consists
of a copper cylinder. not unlike a torch
light. The tube on top has a rubber stop
per, which regulates the flow Of acid. The
bottom of the cylinder fits the cap, and
vent. Gamers who nave examined the
machine say the invention is a valuable
one, and will come into general use in all
canning factories.

The Prohibition Mass-meeting in the
Opera House on Wednesday evening was
attended by a fair-sized audience, taking
the weather and other attractions into con-
sideration. Addresses were made by Geo.
G.. Ely, of Crawford, secretary of the Pro-
hibition State Central Committee, by Cort-
landt L. Parker, of Perth Amboy, Chair
man of the Committee, and by Rev. James
Rogers, Of Merchantyille. Mr.. Parker
gave u most excellent address and confined
himself principally to an earnest plea for
local option work, and gave the Republic
cans several light raps for not Aking hold
of the work. He gave it as his opinion
that the law, if carried in this county.
would entirely prohibit the traffic, even to
the determination of the quart places, and
proclaimed it the duty OF every temper
ance Democrat, every temperance Repub-
lican and every Prohibitionist to work as
well as vote for the prohibition of the traf
fc in this eounty. He closed with some
remarks on the line of ~straight-out prohi-
bition work at the election in November,
and was followed by Rev. James Rogers,
who, owing to the lateness of the hour,
gave only a few remarks in his character
istic and forcible style. Mr.. Ely's address,
which opened the meeting, was IN earnest
and interesting presentation OF tie import
anc of the prohibition movement.

Base Rail News.

The second nine of Woodstown went to
Quinton to play that club on Tuesday, and
came home victorious, the score being 9 to
12 in their favor.
A Philadelphia paper speaks as follows
of a well-known veteran player: bob
by Matthews has been released by the
Athletic proprietors. Probably 10 man
who ever donned a base ball suit stood
higher in the affections of Philadelphia
base ball cranks than Robert Matthews.
In his prime he was as good as the best,
and he held his own for a longer period
han any other pitcher that we can recall.
May luck attend him wherever he goesl'
wooDsTowN WINS
The game yesterday between the Fen
wick and Woodstown clubs in Salem re-
suited in a victory for the Woodstown
club. This was the deciding game of the
series and the championship stays in this
end of the county. The game was very
interesting and exciting throughout. Both
sides were BANKED until the fifth inning
when, with two out, Hutehins made a hit,
stole second, took third on Zinn's wild
throw to catch him at second, II came
home on wild throw of pitcher to first.
This was the first run of the game, and as
it was a Woodstown, run one could have
heard a pin drop among the Salem people,
for it seemed to them as if their doom was
sealed. Woodstown scored again in the
seventh. Winkler was safe at first on a
dropped thrown ball by the first baseman.
| stole second, took third on a put ont at
first and came home on Il wild pitch.
Sullivan, for Salem, scored their only
run in the eighth on a three-bagger, and a
bad throw to home by Vickery. Had this
ball been thrown right Salem would have
been shut out.
The features of the game were the light
batting by both teams, fine first-base play
ing of Marx for Woodstown, Vickery and
Sopher's good battery work, Winkler's
fielding, and Jones' fly catch in centre.
The whole team played an errorless game
outside the battery and frst-base.
Sullivan's three-bagger and al error was
all that saved Salem from a whitewash.
The score follows.

What say the Purists2

a new verb, to ''ante-pone, - has become
a claimant for public adoption. 1T evi-
IDENTIFY avoids the roundabout way in
which, by several words of sentence, we
have been in the habit of expressing the
idea which is the opposite of that con-
tanned in the accepted word postpone. :"
This means to place after, in point of
time; ''ante-pone'' means to place before
III point of time. 1t is correctly formed
from two Latin words, and, in a literary
point Of view, can scarcely be objected to.
1t will be a more condensed and a shorter
mode of expression to use single words
such as ''ante-pone," ''ante- poned, )"
''ante-ponfng" and "ante-ponemenU,"
than TO write, as heretofore, sentences
stating that specified things which had
been fixed for certain date were to come
of on date prior to the one originally
Intended. One word will satisfactorily
contain the whole idea.-Newport News.

sw1NDLING THE GRoCERs.
How Crooked Longshoremen Work
the Check Racket.

Shopkeepers, on the western side of town
particularly, as well as in other portions,
are frequently swindled by longshoremen
employed by the Ocean Steamship Company
1t is the custom Of storekeepers to make adj
vances Of money and merchandise, princi-
pally the latter on the checks of the men.
Employees of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, on each Friday are given brass
check, duly numbered, which they are re-
ouired to exhibit to the time keeper when
they 90 to work and when they quit.
The men take these checks to the slop-
keepers and sell them, and then borrow them
back when they 60 to work. Saturday is
pay day, aud payment Is made TO the party
presenting the check.
The swindle consisted Of two ingenious
plans t. defraud shopkeepers. One was by
presenting the check to the dealer repre-
,enting that a greater amount was due on
it THAI the actual work performed. The
other was to get advances on the check,
and borrowing it to present to the time
keeper when gong to work, resell 1T to
another dealer. The abuse has become so
common that the shopkeeperS quietly
pooled their issues and agreed to report to
each other when they negotiated check.
James Gadsan (colored) was the first to be
knocked out by the trust be went to
George Ehlers', at Farm and Mill streets,
on Tuesday and dispose of his check, No.
49l, for So 50, representing himself as Ben
Grant, and that there was s5 due on the
check. Gadsen borrowed the check back
the same night to go to work on, and failed
to bring 1T back, and it was learned after
ward that there was only 50 cents due on it.
Ehlers bad Gadsen arrested yesterday for
cheating and swindling, and Justice Molina
committed the prisoner to Jail in default of
$500 bond.
Another case is reported somewhat SINH
lar. Andrew Marshal, working on check
1851 went to Joseph Mcclure and got S. on
it, claiming that there was 81 due Marshal
then borrowed the check back to go to work
on and sold il to Herman Renl1en, but when
taken to task for his trickery by Mr.. Nc
CURE he paid the claim in full.
The grocers say that nine-tenths Of the
longshoremen act honorably in their
transactions. They receive advances
on their checks, which they borrow
back when they 60 to work, and on
Thursday nights TURN the checks over
finally to the grocers, who collect what is
due on them, and if there is balance in
favor Of the longshoreman, it is paid to him.
1t is the tenth man that usually manages to
swindle the grocer, and to break up this
system of obtaining money and merchandise
under false pretenses, the grocers have
determined to prosecute all offenders.

WELCOME THE BIG WEST.
That is What Savannah Business Men
Saw


The suggestion in the MORNING NEWS
that the business men of Birmingham,
Memphis, Kansas City and other p aces,
be invited to reception in Savannah next
spring, appears to have been received with
general favor. A gentleman said yester-
day that when the Green line connection,
linking Savannah with Nashville, st. Louis
and the west was completed, the event was
celebrated here with great eclat. The gen
tleman said it was his recollection that an
appropriation was voted by the city counc |,
and liberal donations were made by the
business men. Great changes have taken
place since that time, and the facilities OF
this port have been multiplied many times.
Two great railroad systems center here,
and lines of steamers ply between Savan-
nah and all the great commercial cities of
the North Atlantic seaboard. 70 impress
upon the people Of the west and northwest
the commercial importance of Savannah,
it will only be necessary to persuade them
TO visit it, and from the drift of public
sentiment this will be taken in hand after
the busy cotton season Is over ard arrange
ments perfected for grand reception.
The matter was fully discussed on the
Bay yesterday, and the views of the bust
ness men published in yesterdays MORNING
News found a ready responsive spirit. The
generally accepted idea was that whatever
is attempted should be carried out on a
scale fully equal to the liberal western
spirit-in other words, that Kansas City
TO ks, who boom their growing city by put
ting their best foot forward, should be i'm
pressed with the force of hearty and gen
erous southern reception and welcome
which will not be lost on them in the
