Prohibition Amendment for Mary
land

The State Temperance Alliance will hold
a meeting on the Both inst. preliminary 10 a
Temperance Convention, the object of which
will be to make arrangements to inaugurate
a movement for prohibatory amendment
to the State constitution. Rum henceforth
is to be given no breathing spell. Post
Master General Wanamaker made bold
declaration on Sunday Of last week on the
side of prohibition, which should prove a
worthy example for other men filling inn
portant public offices. Sect. Window is
equally strong in his sentiments in favor of
prohibiting the liquor traffic. Whether he
will speak out as broadly since he has been
placed in important public position we can
not say. There seems to be wide Field
between Quay and the P. NJ. g. The former
declared he was determined to kill prohibi-
ton in order to prevent it hurting the Re-
publican party, while Mr.. Wanamaker is
for preserving it because he believes it a
Christian duty. And those who are not for
prohibition are against it whether they vote
against it or abstain from voting, is Wanna
makers doctrine If Sect. Window will
speak out and act as boldly there will be
fewer grog shops in the public buildings at
Washington. In the rear future not only
individual voters will have to stand up and
be counted for or against whiskey, bnt po-
litical parties also. They will not be per-
mitted TO pose with cold water on one shout.
der and wbiskey on the other as heretofore.
Hence forth those who take the side of high
license will be counted in with the saloon,
hand and glove, enemies to the temperance
movement and regulators of all their for
mer pledges and professions.

when necessity compels them to 1t no
one can doubt They N ust be placed
on equal footing with foreign manu-
facturers to meet them IN the markets
of the world, and our Northern man.
ufacturers will move to have all raw
material free which enters into their
product. This is inevitable as any one
must see. This movement will follow
ifit does not precede, the substituting
of steamship lines, and the meeting OF
the Congress of South American states,
that is to take place at Washington.
The Interstate Commerce Act will
be rigidly enforced in future and New
York and New England will not share
the benefit of reduced rates both ways
to the disadvantage of the rest of the
country as heretofore and must find
other outlets for their products: Next
winter will see this policy inaugurated
in Congress, there can be scarcely
doubt. This country cannot furnish a
sufficient market for our manufactured
products, and the powerful monopolies
are trying TO prevent the inevitable by
combining in trusts to fix prices,
strangle weak establishments and pre-
vent other competitors. But the angry
cry of the people against this tyranny
in trade is sufficient warning that for
eign markets must be secured and the
government which they have cried to
for protection against foreign compe-
tition will be petitioned to help them
meet foreign competitionin the worlds
markets.

Money IN the Backyard.

All the readers of The MIDLAND
JOURNAL who live on a farm or
have backyard in the village, want
to make money and can do it if they
go at it right There is probably
nothing else on which SO much
money can be made with a small
space of ground than by attention
to poultry, and it don't need to in
terfere with yonr other business.
In a small town in New Jersey
(Hammonton) thousands of dollars
are annually laid by from the sale
of poultry. One man, with less
than an eighth of an acre of ground
annually clears over $1,000; but of
course, he makes it his only business.
There are 40 broiler farms there, the
whole work being inaugurated by
P H. Jacobs, editor of the POULTRY
KEEPER, who lives at Hammonton
Now to do these things, you must
study the question in all its phases
and know what others have done
and are doing, and to do this there
is probably no better or complete
way than to read the POULTRY
KEEPER which is acknowledged to
be leading poultry paper of the
world, being read by many thousands
of people. 1t is published monthly,
at only so cents year by the Poul.
try Keeper Co., Parkesburg, Chester
Co. Pa, and you can get a samr lie
copy free, by writing a postal card
to them. 1t is filed full up with the
experiences of those who are making
he business a success. Tells how
to make and manage incubators and
brooders; how to build poultry
houses; how to take care of poultry,
how to cure diseases; how to pres
erye eggs; and has special articles
on ducks. geese, turkeys, with hum
dreds of illustrations. Even the
sample copy you will receive will be
worth a dollar. Try it. Sample
copy free to all by addressing as
above.

when the farmers of Lancaster county,
Pa, sent their wheat to market at
Christiana, DEL. on pack horses. He
was shoemaker by trade, and for
many years was engaged in farming,
at which occupation, by energy and
industry, he amassed competency.
Like his father, MIR. Griffith was q
member of the Society of Friends, and
through his long life was o regular at
tendant at the old brick meeting house
which stands upon land donated by
William Penn to the Nottingham
Friends Meeting, very early in the
last century.
Mr.. Griffith was Wing during the
existence of that party. He was col
lector of taxes in his district in 1876;
and was also school commissioner for
some time under the public schol 81 stem
as first organized.
OF singularly mild, pleasant and
affable disposition, and man of the
strictest integrity, Mr.. Griffith lived re.
spected and died regretted by all who
knew him. His funeral took place

Hamburg Figs,

Being purely vegetable in their som
position, no i'll effects can result from
their constant use. Hamburg figs
always produce the same effects with
the same dose, which is of the greatest
Importance to those who wish to use
them regularly and constantly. In this
respect they are the exact opposition
of violent cathartics and purgatives.
Physicians recognize their value in
cases of constipation during pregnancy,
since they act so mildly but effectively.
Hamburg figs never grippe or produce
collie, and are SO pleasant and agreeable
that they may be taken at all times
and places, without interfering with
pleasue or business.
Hamburg figs cost 25c. box at L.
R. Kirk's 8, dose one fig.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
An Old Woman of North water street

An Old Woman of North Water Street
Takes Dose of Arsenic and Lives.
Rebecca McClain, who lives at 2i2 North
Water street, In the same house with
Carrie Powers, attempted TO leave town
with the aid Of dose of arsenic on Sun
day evening. She is an old woman and OF
late had been drinking. She was In an
angry mood In the evening and told
somebody that she intended committing
suicide "just for Spite" She went to Me-
Cleery's drug store, at Prince and Orange
Streets, where she purchased three cents
worth of arsenic which she said she wanted
to use TO kill rats. Upon returning to ber
home she took the poison and went to bed.
Her daughter, who heard Of her intentions,
went to The drug store after her, but she
was too late. as the old lady had retu rned
homo by different route. The daughter
accused her of taking poison and she ad-
mitted that she had. DIR. Netscher was
sent for and he administered an emetic,
which soon had a good effect. The poison
was brought out, and to-day the old lady
IL all right again, but somewhat shaky.
Who she wanted to "spite" Is not known,
but It Is quite likely that rum was the
cause Of her crazy course.
