| 1t seems to me that the American
woman does not render to man q hun
dredth part of the alteration he renders
to her. If love could spring from graf
itude, Jonathan would be the most be-
loved of men.
But does love ever spring from graft
! tude?
In the eyes of the American woman
man has his good points. He insures
hera good position when he marries
her, he works hard to satisfy her small
est wishes, and so long as his signature
has any value at the foot of check
this will be an eXtenuating circum-
stance in his favor.

The roll Of Congress, for the next
term, now stands 1G4 Republicans and
161 Democrats. Should an extra ses-
sion be called, which is probable, and
no deaths occur meanwhile, the next
House will be very close. But by the
time for the meeting of the regular
session elections will have been held
in the newly admitted States which
will, in all probability, add about five
, TO the Republican majority.
Have you never been thrilled and
made happy for hours by kind word ?
Do YOU ever consider that those you
daily meet might be thus gladdened
bv such words from your lips? a
kind word costs but little, we say; yet
words of real kindness cannot come
except from heart warmed with love,
any more than heat can be radiated
| from fire place only painted to re-
semhlc warmth? A loving heart is
the most costly and precious thing in
the world; and kind words are the
coinage of such heart. Well for US
if we cultivate such tender regard for
others, such loving unselfishness, that
all our words shall be the unconscious
outgoings of kindness. The giver OF
such words is more blessed than the
receiver.

An unknown species of bird has appeared

The new play written for Mr.. Lawrence
Barrett by MIR. William Young is called
"Ganelon." The scene is laid in Corsica in
the ninth century, and the events are con-
nected with the wars between the Corsicans
and Saracens. 1t Is said to afford uncOm-
mon opportunities for scenic displays, but
this is of far less important than its lite
rary and dramatic merit. Mr.. Barrett has
produced many good plays and his judg-
mont is not likely to lead him very far
astray.

Theodore Stanisics who was arrested
in Vineland charged with forgery, to
the amount of forty cents, is once more
at liberty, although he must appear
before the Court in January, or his
grandmother must lose $500 Sheriff
Shaw took Stanisics to Cape May
Court House before Judge Reed, to
whom Stanisies' lawyer L. Newcomb,
had applied for a writ of habeas corpus.
The writ was granted and bail fixed at
$500, his grandmother furnishing secu-
rity. Stanisics went directly to Vine
land. He processes to have little fear
of being indicted by the Grand Jury,
but if he must appear in Court he says
he will have John 8. Mitchell, Esq, to
defend him. The case has become es-
pecially interesting because the
amount alleged to have been forged is
ridiculously small.

witnesses were called-twenty-f in
fact, and Of that number, only two
ever drank beer at her place, and one
OF them never paid for it. Nearly all
Of the witnesses had purchased cider
there, and drank it, paying five cents
per glass, but not one had ever become
intoxicated. One man who was called
had not been at Mrs. Carries for more
than year, and then he only pur-
chased apples-cider by the way, in
its raw state. Thus witness after wit
ness was called, and while the most
searching questions were put by MIR.
Sheppard, yet the answer was always
the Notwithstanding but cider.
There was Que exception. John
F'rallnger, who lives out of town, said
he was at Mrs. Carles sometime since,
and she asked him to have lunch.
She put out bottle of beer with the
lunch and he drank it. He asked her
to allow him TO pay for it but she re-
fused. He persisted, and finally gave
her five or ten cents, but whether for
The lunch, which consisted of spanish
herring and bread, or the beer, he
could not remember. Mr.. Ffalinger
was positive that Mrs. earle would not
have received the money had he not
thrust it upon her. Another gentle
man, who said he boarded with Mrs.
Carle, said he had drank beer there,
but always as gift.
Many of the witnesses testified to
the fact that they had repeatedly
asked Mrs. Carrie for beer and liquor,
but without exception they were re-
fused, and always with the answer
that Il don't keep it for anybody"
When the last witness had been
called, Mr.. Mitchell remarked to Mr.
Sheppard: ''Of course you won't press
for further holding?"
Mr.. Sheppard thoughtfully looked
over his papers and said: Lets see.
There is the testimony of John Fralin-
ger. Technically this would come un-
der the law as sale, but l know the
old gentleman well, an have every
reason to believe the story he tells. No,
l shall consent to her discharge"
Mr.. Mitchell said nothing further
and the Court ordered the discharge
of the lady. The crowd filed out of the
Office and there were cries of ''good,
good" and general stamping of feet
in approval of the course the case had
| taken.
Mr.. Sheppard had nothing to say re-
| garding the case, further than the evi
dence was directly contrary to the in
formation given him concerning the
case. Mr.. Mitchell said he was satis-
| fed that Mrs. Carrie had not been sell
ing strong drinks, because he as her
council in her last trouble, had repeat
edly warned her, telling her that should
| she ever again violate the law, he could
! not possibly save her from conviction.
He does not believe that she had once
violated the law.

Dangerous Wires.

An electrician who was looking g.
the incandesent electric light wires
being strung, remarked Thursday
afternoon that the pole standing at the
Cumberland National Bank corner,
was getting to be a dangerous one. He
said that when the currents begin to
flow though those wires it would be
exceedingly dangerous for lineman
to attempt to work among them. 1t
will not be a great while before there
will be general crusade against the
overhead wire system, and in the
future they are likely to be placed
wholly under ground.

TWENTY YEARS MARRIED.
A Pleasant Celebration at City
Hotel.


Gotleib Cast, proprietor of City Ho-
tel, has been gallantly treading life's
pathway with his good wife, the cere-
mony binding them together having
. been performed just twenty years ago
last Saturday night. Early Saturday
evening a procession of happy people
were noticed filing out of Hohenstatts'
Hotel, and turning up Broad street
Those in advance climbed the steps
leading to the City Hotel, and an alarm
was9made at the door. Miss Carrie,
the daughter of Mr.. Cast, answered
the summons and informed her father
some one wanted to see him. Mr..
Caststhought it funny that his seeker
could not come in the office, but when
he arrived at the door and looked
down that string, he was dumb
founded
The guests finally made their way
into the house, and Mr.. and Mrs. Cast
were surrounded by congratulating
friends from Philadelphia, Camden,
the surrounding county and this city.
Mr.. Cast was very much affected by
this testimony of friendship, and could
scarcely express himself. Prof. F. D.
CARL furnished music, and the guests
enjoyed dancing. and other amuse-
ments Altogether Mr.. and Mrs. Cast
thought they were having an enjoyable
time.
But the surprises we're not yet over.
About ten o'clock, when Mr.. Cast had
begun to feel more at ease, he was
startled by the entrance of about
twenty members of the august assem-
bly,. They surrounded Mr.. and Mrs.
Cast in the dining room, and w. T.
Bowen approached the pair. He de-
livered a very pretty speech to Mr..
Cast, during which the latter gentle
man was kept pretty busy wiping from
his eyes suspicious moisture. Mrs.
Cast made no half way work about it,
she used her handkerchief copiously,
and did not seem ashamed of it. At
the conclusion of the speech by MIR.
Bowen, handsome gold headed cane
was handed the hotel proprietor. Mr..
Cast received it in sort of dazed way.
He said he did not think it was fair to
have these people come to his house
without his knowing it. Anyway he
would mark the almanac at the next
10th anniversary, and invite them all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cast received gold spec.
tacles, and Mrs. Cast was presented
with a China tea set, a silver thimble,
and some other articles.
The evening was indeed a merry one,
and at a late hour the party sat down
to a most superb collation., provided by
the guests. 1t was near the midnight
hour when the merry makers left the
hotel, after wishing for the host and
hostess years of continued prosperity
and happiness.
