THE WORCESTER PATENT PIN
l. LEES CLOTHES LINE.
THE ONLY LINE EvET INVENTED
TO HOLD CLOTHES WITHOUT PINS.
Tho attention OF the public IS called
to this new invention, the following
are the reasons why this is far superior
to the OLD way, where pins are used;
garments hold TO the line. AT the same
time they are easily slipped out the same
Way thy are ppt Ia In IL iast oo Sl95h nn

2. This line is made OF galvanized
steel spring wire, md therefore cannot
| rust even ii left out OF doors all OF the
time.
8. One third more clothing can be
hung on this line than can be hung ON
| II line where pins are used. Therefore
100 feet of this line is eqnal TO l5O feet o.
L. IL can be used for thick or heavy
| farments, such rs carpets, rugs, robes.
| etc, or tho finest linens, all with per-
/ feet success.
o. For winter use IL is far superior to
| any line. Tho surface being very
| smooth garments do not adhere, and
can be easily slipped out even when fro
| zen.
| 0. tits made in links, ono foot in
| length. easily folded together in q small
/ space In case OF removal.
| z. Garments can be put on ana taken
on in one quarter of the time it takes
| where Plus are used, and with mucl
| less labor
8. 1t is the cheapest in the long run
Being a combination you have no pin.
to buy, and it will last many years.

a LsraYe Woman.

From a private letter received by a resi-
lent of this town from Mrs. Lottie Il.
Steward, daughter Of our townsman Joshua
w. While, now living near Annapolis,
Md, we copy the following.
son Thursday afternoon, 21st inst, my
husband went to Annapolis, and while 1
was alone my attention was attracted by
an elderly looking man standing near the
house watching ME at the window, and
while / was looking he bowed and made
improper gesticulations. 1t frightened me
terribly, and / Immediately drew the cur
tains and locked the doors. | then pro-
cured my husbands revolver, loaded 1t,
and wen up stairs to watch the suspicious
looking man. He approached the house
and repeatedly knocked on the door, and
afterward tried to open it. Failing in this
he went to a window and forced it up, but
at this point | hoisted the window above
him and demanded his business, to which
he replied in very insulting language and
demanded an entrance, whereupon | point
ed a 44-calibre revolver at his head and
told him him to leave Immediately, which
he did after more insulting remarks, going
toward Annapolis. When my husband
arrived home | informed him Of what had
traDspired, and he Immediately went to
the city and notified the police, who ar
rested the man on Friday morning. He
was evidently a tramp and hailed from
baltimore"

orInteresf to Teachers.

The State Board of Education, at a re-
cent meeting, adopted several rules of in
terest to teachers. Hereafter holders of
first-grade certificates are to have them re-
newed without rc-examlnation by giving
satisfactory evidence that they have been
teachers in good standing during the life
of the certificate.
The Board also decided that certificates
granted between the regular quarterly ex-
aminations, known as permits shall be
good until the next regular examination
and shall not be renewed.
A third rule adopted provides: Amy
person accepting a position as a teacher in
any school in this State, shall, before TAX
ing charge of said school, exhibit his or
her certificate to the County Superintend-
ent of the county in which such school is
situated, and any contract entered into

An O,a story-nut True.

"Stroller'' in the Camden telegram tells
the following true story which is probably
familiar to some of our readers:
| was forcibly reminded the other day
of the Importance that some men attach TO
official positions by hearing a story re-
lated, which. while familiar to many South
J~erseymen, | believe has never been in
print. When ex-Sheriff Piummer was
sheriff of Salem county he hung a man
named Sam Treadway. Every detail of
the execution was mnutely described by
the New Yerk and Philadelphia papers,
and the frequent references to ''Sherif
Plummer'' caused that official to think
that everybody in the United States knew
him. Shortly after the execution Plum
mer visited New York and applied to the
Astor House for a room. Every room in
the hotel was fall, but Plnmmer insisted
upon being accommodated. The sheriff
was a little, squatty man, Of hay-seed APP
pearance, but, on being refused a o he
become indignant, and drawing himself
up to his full height, said: maybe you
don't know who / am. Ny name is Plum
mer. I'm high sheriff of Salem county,
New Jersey, and l hung Sam Treadway."
The clerk looked at Plummer FOR a moment
and replied: 'Well, | don't care If You
were high sheriff Of Ii and hung the
devil, yon can't get a room here Where
upon the sheriff quickly took up his sateh-
el and silently stole away, fully realizing
the fact that other people didn't attach as
much Importance to the Office of high
sheriff as he did.
