Read the Death Roll

Which the bills of mortality of any large
city may be fifty designated, and you
will find that renal and vesical maladies

In the chronic stage are rarely cured, and

the trouble merely amounts to inactivity

PHILADELPHIA MOhutyi Jan. ID lsS.
The retail situation of the
day has three demands. Cold
Fashion, and economy draw at
sight.
These divers and contradic-
tory demands Of the period call
for a great deal of attention. 1t
seems a paradox that much
current interest in the store
should be divided between the
things for miClsumr err and mid
winter. Futs and Lawns, To.
bOggan Sledi and Ginghams,
Skates and ambu G Embroid-
cries, Overcoats and Muslin
Underwear are equally in the
minds Of retail buyers. To
meet all these elements is our
study.

THAT $4,000 seemed to be an
elephantwith the Philadelphia Tines
1t can't benefit all the poor; nor
erect buildings to suit the taste Of
all; neither can it start home for
aged people. We have studied the
matter over; read the suggestions
published from day to day in the
Times, and after all think none of
them good suggestions. It would
not be bad idea to donate that
$4,000, which is begging to 90
somewhere, to country editors. They
can use it to 4 good advantage. In
the first place, it would put them on
a firm financial basia, I'd, they could
improve their papers; 3D., they could
DO more good than formerly. They
could seek the destitute and make
their wants known and in this wav
charitable people will know how 10
act But if we write much Longer
that $4,000 viii surely come to
country editors.

New goods daily. More

Quick, very quick prices on

Quick prices on the new

they go for as little or less here

The question of Newark having
water supply is taking definite shape,
and the plan cannot fail of success
if proper interest is manifested. The
argument used by some that such
an undertaking will increase the tax
rate, while true, yet at the same
time it will greatly enhance the
value Of property, and every free
holder should urge and hasten the
consummation of that which will
give to our town q stimulus and
open up substantial inducements
to manufactures to locate in our
midst. Without such we can never
expect to have our town advance to
the position which she should
occupy. There can be no good ex-
cuse offered why this thing should
not be. Surely our people are prone
10 sltldle and witness towns, possess
ing less advantages, forging ahead
and securing for themselves all the
goods things to be had from the
great Improvements brought to light
and offered at comparatively small
cost. The petition being circulated
should and undoubtedly will meet
with the favor it deserves. Do not
say, Oh, | am contented to wait a
while longer; we are well enough
fixed. Rather say, Why, ofcourse l
am in favor of any healthy improve
ment. Force the time. Place our
town on the progressive list.
