THE wORLD's FARE OF Iss2.

Edward Atkinson, the well-known
writer on political economy, writing on
the subject of the plan of the Fair, says:
MY general idea is that either, by way
of example, of pictures, of graphic IL
l%ustration and figures, one and all con-
bined, 81 far as may be, the exhibition
should show the progress of modern art
and industry of the prehistoric type, or
from the type of 1899 down to the pres
ent day. For instance, what a wonder
al exhibit could be made of the prog
ress in the art of clothing"
Speaking of Mr.. Atkinson's sugges-
ton, A. Z. Yates 81 Co., the popular
clOthiers in the Ledger Building, Phil
adelphia, said that such an exhibit
would be highly interesting, and would
afford an opportunity to put American
clothing in comparison with the world.
The American, no doubt, wears better
and cheaper clothing than any other
people. No matter how little the Amer
can pays for hls clothes, he wants some
style to them, and that is where u
clothing excels the foreign, A man
who buys a twelve dollar suit will spend
as much time before a mirror AS a man
who pays twenty-five. We welcome
such customers, whether you be man
or boy, rs we make all our clothing to
meet this popular demand for taste and
good-htting clothing at a moderate
COST From The Philadelphia Item.

Summer Vagaries.

Summer, the time of vacations, pic
MICS excursions, recreation and, for
TOO many, designations has come and
gone, and with it many events to be re-
objected with sadness, but many more
Les Ne held ia fond remembrance for its
1us pleasures. Some have taken a
Va, ition or had a days or weeks visit
~ c seashore or mountains, but the
great mass of the people get no s ated
vacation or relief from the cares of
business lie. 1t is one constant, per-
petual. aud too often, monotonous strain
of the mind and body to get On in the
world and make progress to better their
condition and sta ion in life.
A getting away from the dreary
monotony of life's perpetual routine
and mingling with others of jovial spir-
its, who always see the bright sides of
life, helps greatly to drive dull care
away and cheer those of a more gloomy
state of mind. Picnics, excursions and
vac ,tions, and visits to friends, most
usually in the summer time, when all

creator, give the best occasion for joy
Gus times which revive the languid
spirits and cheers the dropping heart.
While those of a sedate mind do not
take much part in the bilsrity, yet they
are made happy by seeing others cheer

much pleasure and enjoyment in seeing

the happy voices of the hundreds OF tx
c~ursionists who come 10 Penn's Grove
for a days innocent pleasure AMI re-
creation. That is Il great reason
why our town is a pleasant place TO
live in.
While thousands Of excursionlsts
have visited our town the past summer,
vet there have not been 81 many excuI-
sions AS in the two summers previous.
Neither has the hotel nor boarding
houses had 50 many boarders. What
has been the reason? What would
have been the great cause if the results
of the local option election had not
been repealed and our town had been
s'dry'' during the summer! Every
one knows. Not the dry weather, sure
ly.
The reasons We assign are 'h"t WIG
unusually wet weatlnr the past sumne
was not conducive to excursions. The
persons who came on the large excur-
sious, especially from Wilmington the
two previous summers, wanted u new
place to go to. The steamer Whining
ton first opened daily communication
between Will ington, Pehnssille and
Augustine Pier the past summer, apd
gave two new places for the Whining
tonians to go. Coupling this with the
fact that it was All unusual poor seaso'i

her share aud need not complain.

n FIRES NOR rr LIGHTED.

Monday was the regular time for
lighting the fires in the giasshouses
but as yet an agreement has not been
effected bet ween the manufacturers
and blowers, and in consequence the
furnaces and men remain idle. The
manufactures held "a meeting in Phil
adelphia last week and the report is
that they reject the demands OF the
men and decided to stand t getLer
until they are willing. to come 10 their
terms. They utterly refuse to treat
with Master Wnrkmen Coffey, the rec
ognized leader of the men in the present
controversy. The flint glass factories

A New Jersey man has offered a
prize of $500 for The best method of

Here, from the New York Erening
Post, is an interesting little statement
with respect to the public debt:

We have heard of big fools and
bright men being fooled, but the big
gest fool who has been duped the great
est is Robert Ray Hamilton, the rich
New York politician who was induced
to mary a vulgar strumpet because she
told him a baby, which she had bought
for $40, was his, and that after she had
adopted two others previous and they
had died. The woman has another
husband and she married Hamilton to
get his mothers costly ~jewelry and
plenty of money to spend. Hamilton
has been allowing her 5000 a year aud
she has also been supporting her other
husband with ii. These revelations
have been made public by Mrs. Hamil-
ton, alias Mrs. Joshua Mann, stabbing
her maid attendant, at Atlantic City
fo~rjIevealing her treachery. Mrs. Ham
ilton is now in Mays Landing Jail.

THE Eight-Hour League of this State
is holding convention in San Francisco,
and few days ago a motion was made
to request the local clergy to favor the
cause. The discussion which ensued on
this motion would seem to indicate that
workingmen do not expect to receive
much sympathy or help frem the clergy.
We will quote the substance of the re-
marks of two delegates on the motion,
and they seemed to voice the general
sentiment:
P. A.Wellin, of the Carpenters Union,
in speaking to the motion, said he had
small hopes Of any aid coming from the
clergy. He respected the church. but he
did not think the clergy were in sympa-
thy with the laboring classes. He did
not favor the motion.
Delegate Gram barth entertained SINH
lar views regarding the clergy to those
expressed by Mr.. Welhn, claiming that
the history of churches showed that the
ministers, with very few exceptions,
leaned towards the side of power. "If
we succeed" he said, 1--WE will have to
fight our own battles"
Rev. A. ]. Wells, of this city, in his
sermon last Sunday, said that one reason
why the churches were empty was the
failure to apply the living doctrines of
Christianity in sympathetic touch with
every movement designed to improve
mans condition.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-07-18

THE impending marriage of the Prince
of Wales eldest daughter to the Earl OF
Fife seems to be popular with the English
people. The Hanoverian dynasty has SO
persistently intermarried with petty Ger
man princes, that this second departure
OF selecting a home nobleman as the
husband for an English princess has
gained general public appreciation. The
marriage OF the Marquis of Lorne with
Louise, one OF Victoria's daughters, was
the first break made in this direction.
Lorne is a man of brains, and good
enough fellow, as English and Scotch
nobility goes. But the House Of Argyle
is not popular with the English masses
End the fact that Lorne caught a Tarta,
rather pleases them than otherwise. II
is pretty rough on Lorne to have sacri
feed his independence to royalty te
find himself the cipher of Zantippe
and at the same time to feel that English
men generally have no sympathy fol
him in his henpecked condition. The
Earl of Fife, however, seems to have
struck very different wave. He stands
we'll with the people, is tolerably rich
and is in the prime of q well-preserved
life. There is, however, a skeleton in his
house. and it is merely necessary to say
with Lady Macbeth, "the Earl of Fife,
he had wife," and thereby hangs tale
that ia not devoid of scandal.
