In these days of rush and drive there
is a universal movement In mechanical de-
vices TO do things in the quickest way and
thereby save time. Following this general
assertion the great trunk-linc railroads are
straining every point to make rapid transit
between distant places. 1t is not only a
saving of time, but by taking out the
short curves and cutting of corners, 1t re-
duces the wear of machinery-epgines
and cars--to the minimum.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co., with
this idea, is now engineering a short
freight line from New York westward.
The short cut will run direct from Tren-
ton to Nornstown, then tap the main line
at Downingtown.
This movement will be little distaste-
full to the Philadelphia people who have
usually considered that they had kind
of presumption on the Pennsylvania Rail.
road, but it will be great item in time
to New York shippers and saving to the
company of many miles of railway service
in the course of year.

Daily accounts from Utah of the crimi-
nal deeds and purposes Of the Mormon
Church remind one OF the weird, awful
sacrifices OF the ancient Druids. Testi-
mony was elected recently on cross-ex-
animation, from priest in good standing
to show that 1t was the recognized law Of
the society that apostasy should be pun
ished by death, and likewise any rcvela-
ton OF the secrets of the Endowment
House, the execntioners being appointed
by the President. This amiablc disciple
also admitted frankly that his arm had
been anointed to give II strength in aven-
ging the blood of the prophets, Joseph
and Hyram Smith. Thus, even by their
own witnesses, 1t is more and more clearly
manifested that the devilish barbarity and
murderous spirit Of the Mormons should
be checked by the sternest measures
which the Government can enforce.

The Thanksgiving service in the Jersey
City Tabernacle, was novel one. Pas
tor John Scudder had bale of hay for q
pulpit, and just behind tho pulpit was an
other bale for seat. Bags Of wheat,
corn, barley, potatoes and onions, which
Mr.. Scudder raised on his farm at Shelter
Island, stood on the platform. Mr.. Scud-
der's text was "The Harvest is Plenty"
A brass band in the choir loft played "Hail
Columbia" and other National airs. A
collection was taken up for the poor.
Enough money was raised to provide
Thanksgiving dinners for about twenty-
five families.

OUR LONG DRESS GOODS COUNTERS
are full of life and activity these
December days. How could it be
otherwise with Winter just before
us, and such superb stock of Win
ter Dress Goods-the products of
two continents-displayed in appar-
emily endless profusion on thous-
and feet of counters?
The question is sometimes asked {:
Why carry SO large a stock, repre-
senting almost everything that is
produced abroad or at home? Would
not smaller line equally satisfy the
demand, taking less room and leav-
ing space for other lines of goods +?
Our dns,0er' is Dress Goods with
us are the great speciality of the bus
mess, and we prefer to have not
alone a sufficient, but an overJ'o,oing
stock, not being content simply to
meet the demand but leading ii al
,cays, and giving our patrons the
choice of the worlds products.
Devoting ourselves not to general
merchandise, but to the great Dry
Goods business exclusively, we prefer
in that special business to lead the
country, devoting our whole time
and attention, with all the facilities
of our great organization, to the SER
vice of our patrons in this line.
And with every added year as the
business grows greater and has be-
come of national repute, with orders
coming to us from every State and
Territory of the fundamentally
from New York, Boston and other
centres of commerce-.we feel in
creasingly satisfied to continue and
still further perfect the service to
the great public, in the special but
comprehensive lines which belong to
the business of well-ordered dry
goods house.
