women and the worlds Fair.

A mass-meeting was held in Chicago on
the afternoon of Oct. %, in the interests
of the women's department of the Worlds
Fair. Despite inclement weather, it was
attended by two thousand women, while
hundreds more were unable to gain en-
trance. Mayor Cregier presided, and sew
eral prominent gentlemen made speeches
e~ulogistic OF women and their influence,
ability, enterprise and public spirit. But
the address Of the occasion was made by
the dean Of the Woman's College of the
Northwestern University, Miss Isena Mich
aels. who in eloquent and witty terms
enumerated reasons why Chicago should
be the place for the Worlds Fair, crown
ing her argument with the declaration,
eve say as women that the Worlds Fair
shall be held in the West, in the entire of
the West, because the West represents the
advanced line in all the philanthropies in
which women are engaged, as in co-edu-
cation, the education of the future"
On the same day with this great and
warmly encouraged meeting at Chicago,
the Women's National Industrial League
Of America met in Washington, ID. G., and
adopted a resolution setting forth that wo-

Silcott had another love, and that was
gambling on horse races He was well
known by the habitues of pool-rooms as q
heavy better. and was at these roomsn near
ly every day, making his bets and losing
most of them. His salary, like the
| Irishmau's blanket, was too short at both
ends, and the only thing that surprises one
is that he lasted so long. Mr.. Leedom can
to some extent blame himself for giving
Silcott the temptation to rob him, and
through him the government. Mr.. Lee
dom says that Mr.. Silcott always appeared

spoke to him about dressing badly. He
seemed actually unwilling to buy clothes
of respectable cut and quality. If Mr.. Lee
dom had gone a little further and thought
that these evidences of al economical
spirit were fully counteracted by Silcotts
passion for betting one hundred dollar bills
on races, in the pool rooms, month in and
month ont, he would have exhibited a
greater gift of observation. And Mr. Lee
dom could have very easily learned OF this
heavy gambling. Mr.. Leedom is himself
one of the most earnest yotaries of gamb-
ling on horse races. and his visits to the
pool room rave been of nearly daily occur
renee when he is in the city. Is it not
strange that the master never noticed the
mans habits except as to his clothing.
Mr.. Leedom evidently put too great con-
fidence in Silcott.

DONE said the fiery demonstration of pro-
hibition, tits got to be done, we must
make Camden to-day" Yes, must be
done" put in Ballard, must is the word
we've got to reach Camden to-day" Dick
was master of the situation and held ont
erandly, at least for a time. After a little,
however. he cayed. Then went flashing
the telegram over the wires:
u. b. Graw A. +. Ballard at Seayille
station-desire north express train pulled
up to take us on.
Tick, tick, tick went the strange piece
of machinery at the little station at sea-
Vile. and pretty soon back came the an
swer from Camden:
''IIold north express tram at seaYille Tor
Graw and Ballard.-W. j. Sewell.
The thing was done. The twain felt
they were two very large flies on the
wheel of the universe, rotating the wheel,
and were happy. Pretty soon Dick picked
up a flag, the flag to signal-stop train. and
marched oft the door. ''1n five minutes
from now,' he muttered, "a long, white
streak will pass this station ike a CLEAN
of lightning and all will be over unless |
can get their attention in time to slow up
at the station" and away went Dick down
the track, the little talismanic rag that was
to break the force of a body waving with
cyelonic energy. Then way off was heard
the sound of a something, at first like the
soughiug ofbleak November winds through
the ~lealess tree tops, then nearer, nearer,
louder and louder. The man in The cab
of the approaching train espies a signal
flag waving its stop, stop, stop along the
road. What can it mean? Has there
been A Johnstown nood9 Is tine railroad
track torn up-a train derailed ahead, went
quick through the brain of the lookout in
the cab. The brakes were put on, steam
blown off and slower, slower, came the
ponderous engine and tram 10 the side OF
the station to take on John Bunyan Graw
and Always Employed Ballard. That was
all. at least just then. Camden was at the
old stand. the earth rev0lyed ON its axis as
before. and George Francis Train was as
big a fool As eyer-I. Matlack Seoyel vas.
So far so good. The Graw aud Ballard had
their day. and a pretty big day it was TOO,
and the next day it was somebody else
who had 4 turn at the crank Of destiny.
This time it was W. J. SeweIi, the War
wick Of many a J. b. G. and A. L. Il.
in and outside of New Jersey. Seweil was
going up, or down Federal street, Camden,
in company with two or three friends,
when he saw Graw approaching from the
other side. Crooking his figure and beeken-
ing him over. presumably very much as lsa-
bella did Columbus, when she met him on
the streets Of Cadiz, he waited until Gfaw
had reached the side walk nearest where
he stood, and then slowly said: "Graw, the
next time you and Ballard go off on a
drunk, yon may get home the best way
you can" and then without another word,
without even relaxing 4 muscle of his
N~apoleonic face, moved on. But didn't
Sewell he-haw though, when he reached
his desk at the r. r. office And didn't
they almost hear it at The temperance Ga
cite office, almost Il square away? Well,
we should smile.

CLOTHING!

We read Of large stocks of cloth
ing and low prices. It's an easy
matter to write a flaming advertise
ment, but sometimes difficult to sus-
tain assertions by facts. We don't
aim to say anything in our
advertisements about our goods
that is not strictly true. 1t is well
known that our stock is at all times
the largest by far of any in this
county. There is none larger in
any town in South Jersey. 1t is as
we'll known that VIC arc in position
to buy cheaper than others and at
all times prepared and willing to
work on close profits. This season
we arc better fixed than ever be-
fore. We had most Of our stock
made expressly to our own order.
Now therefore take notice, that if
you want to save from one to five
dollars on the purchase Of a single
suit or o%vercoat, come to hcadquar-
tiers where you get full returns for
every penny you invest.
Buyers from Swcdesboro, Salem
or Alloway, whose purchases
amount to TEN DOLLARS or
over. will have their fare paid both
ways.

Rum did it, and SO you will hang rum,
will you? Or if you can't make it murder
in the first degree, you'll call it man
slaughter and imprison rum, is that the
idea? Or will you conclude to fine rum oil
even let it go scott free, and hang poor
Knox, the victim of runs doings?
Guess that will be the way of it. Rum
steeled the heart and neryed the arm oil
Knox to do the atrocious deed, and 90
Knox will probably be regulated by hang

men were entirely ignored at the recent
meeting of the National Board of Promo
ton to influence the selection of Washing
ton as the place for the Worlds Fair, and
decided to present a memorial to Congress
and an address to the women of America
protesting against this injustice. The
thanks OF the League were rendered to the
Chicago Worlds Fair Board of Managers
for establishing a woman's department and
advisory board in connection with it. As
yet no action has been taken or reply made
IN reference to Miss Susan b. Anthony's
request of the New York Committee that
one of the permanent buildings of the Fair
should be appropriated to the women OF
the United States. So. in the important
matter of recognition of women and their
work. Chicago is far ahead.

No, Bro. Gwynne, farms are not selling
cheap nowadays. not in this section of the
State at least. With corn at As to 30 cents
per bushel, wheat - to so cents, potatoes
40 TO As cents, and other farm products IN
proportion, no farm land in this county,
be it good or be it bad, is cheap at one
penny over 800 per acre. and much OF II
is dear at half that price. Jersey soil only
three and four inches deep and requiring
constant feTtilizing cheap at 500 per acre,
eh? Not much cheap, we should say. The
fact OF it is, as the markets now stand,
farming is the poorest, most vexatious and
least remunerative of all pursuits followed
in all this end of Gods creation. Better
be a quack, a labor agitator, a walking
delegate printer eyen-in short, anything
under the broad heavens than a farmer, a
Jersey farmer.

Strange as it may appear, two of the
best known names in the history of cur
country, Jefferson Davis and Leon ALBEIT,
are connected with Cumberland county
names, tie Howells, and each we believe
are remotely connected with each other by
marriage. Jefferson Davis second wife
was a Howell, and her grandfather, Rich
ard Howell, was an officer in the C%ontinen-
tai army and took part in the battles of
Bra~ndywine, Germantown and Monmouth,
and was at Valley Forge in the winter of
1777-7s. lie afterward served eight con
secutiye terms as Governor of this State.
The mother of Governor Albeit was a
Howell, OF Cumberland county, and many
persons hereabouts are acquainted with
members of her family. In short, both
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Albeit have relatives
on this line scattered through portions OF
both Salem and Cumberland county.

Gen. W.. Sewell, "West Jersey" Sewell
as sometimes known, does not often get
left, albeit his friends sometimes do. An
''amoosin'' story, none the less SO, how
ever, because strictly true, is told of John
Bunyan Graw, d. D., editor of the Tenn
perancs Gazette, Camden, and the Rev.
Always Employed Ballard, editor of the
late Adrauce, Asbury Park, as follows:

only way to abolish an evil is to abolish

his head is not so long or so thick as

TIE POLICE COURT.
A Family Quarrel In Which All
 Were to Blame.


 In the police court this morning Thomas O'Brien was charged with breach of the peace by his wife. The parties reside in Rushton's block, and after coming from his work in Naugatuck last night, Thomas, who had been drink ing, amused himself by throwing bottles at his wife's head. He was arrested by Officer Cahey. A fine of S5 and costs was imposed.
 Sunday night there was row between the Connerty and Riley families on Rail- road hill. Thomas Connerty was ar rested by couple of the boys who were out on a lark, one of whom had fast ened to his coat bright piece of tin and number of brass buttons. His wife came to his rescue and was assaulted, so she alleged by Mrs Maria Riley, who lived up stairs. Two men named Kelly and Sharpe also took hand in the racket and for time made Rome howl. After order was restored it was decided by the Connertys to lodge complaint against Mrs Riley, and the woman was in court this morning. Sentence was suspended.

AfternOOn Teas.

Almost as universal as the tea habit is the habit of afternoons. If a woman has house of her own or even flat she sets aside one afternoon in the week for an at home 10 all her friends On such occasions she makes herself pretty with her very daintiest tea gown, and of course she lights the alcohol lamp under the tea stand. Of course, too, if she has laid hands on a novelty she brings it out then to lend eclat to her afternoon. Chinese four foot vases for umbrella stands are the latest extravaganza which one meets at teas in fashionably furnished halls. The more socially ambitious have evenings in stead of afternoons for the greater dress pos abilities and the greater convenience of catching men. The literarys dramatic, artis- tic and musical contingents are at heme on Sunday, which is emphatieally day of leisure for all who work with their brains At these semi Bohemian and sometimes de- ightful gatherings one meets many of the most interesting figures of the day.-Kansas City Journal.
