The Union lSiqaal, of Chicago, the Of
fetal organ of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, has the following to
say concerning Mrs. Kate W. Howe, who
was arrested in Bridgeton some weeks ago
on the charge of Illegally wearing G. a.
r. badge. The Grand Jury at the session
of Cumberland county courts, last week,
ignored the charge against the lady and it
is said that she Will deliver lecture in
the Bridgeton Opera House tho latter part
of this month.
"The notorious Mrs. Kent, Mason, Clay
ton, Howe, etc, for she seems to be as
well supplied with names as she is with
impudence. has again appeared ON tie
scene, as We hear from various correSpon-
dents. Tho latest news Of her comes from
BIidgoton, N. j., where she posed as a
member of the G, A. r., saying that She
had entered the army rs a drummer boy,
and received several wounds from which
she is still suffering. She succeeded in Sc
curing a class Of young ladies whom she
trained in military drill, and gave an en-
tertainment. She was afterwards arrested
for wearing c. A. r. badge. She is one
of the most arraut frauds We have ever
known, and as such has frequently been
exposed in the Union Signal Ii any
one desires further particulars concerning
her they can be obtained at ZIG La Sale
Street. Chicago, or OF the authorities Of
Kcokuk, Iowa. where she was arrested for
obtaining goods under false pretenses.

THE WHITE OCCASION.

If all the millers of Pennsyl-
vania had emptied their flour
barrels over the store, they
could hardly make it whittier
than it is to-day. Miss Jan
uary and Mr.. Merchandise
have come out in bridal cos
tune.
The great January display
robes the store in white, and
the sight is next to Niagara in
winter covered with what the
French call water dust. "
We do not start out to I'M
dersell everybody but we
mean to give larger advan-
tages to our customers this
year than ever before.
The people everywhere have
found out long since that this
store is never undersold.
Always bring back the goods
that DO not seem cheap enough
or are not as good as you
thought.
This is the kind of careful
ness we like.
If our new stocks of goods
are as cheap as many old lots
that we might offer, you will
probably prefer them.
The new things are coming
in every day.
The old things and the new
are being carried away every
day ,by throngs of delighted
customers.
1t is as five were again in the
rush and hustle OF Holiday
time.

EDIToR MoNIToR:-With thin six months
we have been panied to notice the adver-
tisements OF at least three different parties
offering their respective properties at pub
lie sale and to be sold Sin front of the
WOodstown House, and it has been
especially painful to note that all OF these
properties have been offered by members
or sympathzers of the Society of Friends,
as we'll as being or having been members
of pledged temperance organizations, in
two ofthc three instances. Now it seems to
me this is an act, on the part of these par
ties, of great Inconsistency. The question
that naturally arises IN our mind is, why
do they offer them for sale in front of this
place where intoxicating liquor is sold? Is
it only because it is a custom, or do they
think a better or more enthusiastic class
of buyers will assemble in that particular
place? IL it is simply a custom then sure
ly it is one that ought to be done away
with in this age of greater enlightenment,
when we have come 50 well to realize that
evil communications are injurious to our
moral as well as spiritual being For we
arc radical enough to believe that it is
evil and only evil that can come from such
place as that. And the sad part of it is
that Friends and professional temperance
people GO not fetlilZe JlllS OF ri lStiSJ us hot
recognize the realization. During these
advanced times when the woPanhood of
this and other lands are working so hard
against all places where this deadly foe to
the 'home' is sold, it seems the least our
brothers can do who profess to be with MS
to stand their ground not only theoretical
ly but really. During this year of 1888
this land OF ours will witness one OF the
fiercest contests between rum" and mo
rum that tongue and pen have ever
fought upon any living issue and it will be
necessary for every one, male and female
alike, (minus the ballot on the part or the
latter, to stand shoulder to shoulder, I'M
ilinchingly, to meet the enemy. lou may
think we are straying away off from our
subject but we are not. 1t all relates ia
the same end for there is no neutral
ground in this matter and it stands with
each one of us to decide upon which side
we " sh to be found, because it is oul
truthful opinion that We cannot sc patron
izers of licensed houses i'll any way and
consistent Friends too
