CONCERNING DRESS TEXTURES.

In making the claim that stock Of Dress Goods is
the largest single collection be found anywhere either at
home abroad the evidence does upon our own
testimony, upon that of too impartial patrons
but upon the voluntary testimony of disinerested experts
wlo know the dress goods markets of the world.
We have perhaps pardonabe pride in the fact that Phil
adepha should lead all other Cities both of the Old and
New World in this important branch Of the business 1t is
strange but undenabe fact that single house Paris
show collection equang ours even of goods made in their
city and provinces.
The grand collection recently opened and now rapidly
being distributed still intact in assortment and should be
inspected by every lady within days ride of Philadelphia
for it art exhibit not surpassed in its line by the Worlds

The 'sGallagher Club" of this city,
held their third annual gathering one day
recently, at grove near Barber's Station.
Tho usual supplies for the camp were
forwarded day in advance. The only
thing to mar the occasion was bad
smash-up OF one OF our city livery rigs.
The day was spent In the usual way
adopted by the club, officers being elected
for the ensuing year, and new set Of
pass words, signs and grips, were adopt
ed. 1t was further resolved that the
members practice upon them without do

Convention was held at Long Branch, on
Wednesday last. Three hundred and fifty
delegates were present, representing near

of the Branch had made extra arrange
ments to entertain their guests while there.
Two mammoth clam bakes were pre-
pared for them at point extending out
on Pleasure Bay, and about forty stages
were chartered to transport the delegates
there. A grand ball was also given in the
evening at one OF the opera houses. to
wind up the festivities. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion Of the delegates present that
Long Branch firemen are entitled TO hold
the branch pipe for their superior wisdom
In knowing how TO provide for the plea
sure aud to fairly tickle the appetites Of

A Campaign Repeated in november.

Campaign Repeated In November.
An effort, not peculiar TO this country
or to any denomination, but which found
its first and most general cxemplification
among the Presbyterian Churches of New
Jersey, was that of tho November Stimuli
taneous Meetings" in behalf Of Foreign
Missions, in 1887.
The Synod of New Jersey deemed the
success OF that undertaking sufficient to
warrant the setting on foot another scheme
Of like nature, which is 10 be carried out
during the week, November Sd TO 10th.
Each Church is to be called upon to
hold at least one meeting IN the interest
Of Foreign Missions during that week,
and II Is suggested that the services OF
Sabbath, November Sd, both in Church
and Sabbath School, be also devoted to
the cause.
When we remember that there are, in
our State, 800 Presbyterian Churches, in
Guiding 90, 293 members, that 81, 208 per-
sons are engaged in the 1862 Sabbath
Schools and that, in nearly all Churches,
there are Women's Missionary Societies
and Children's Bands, it will be seen that
the Simultaneous cooperation of all these
forces In an endcavor 10 awaken interest
in and impart information regarding this
world wide work must make salutary
impression upon both the Christian body
and the world outside.
Foreign Missions, as a moral, social,
economic aud even as political force,
among the many world forces that are
operating to elevate the nations and draw
them into relations OF closer amity, Is COM
manding wider attention every year.
The Foreign Missionary, to-day, is ac-
corded an honorable place by scientists,
humanitarians, political economists and
statesmen, and his work is no longer TO
be regarded, by intelligent minds, as
merely weak enthusiasm. The cause
Is one that is now appealing to the best
instincts of all who love their fellow-m
and long for the prevalence OF human
brotherhood, not only religious but social.
To carry out the commission OF the Mas
ter and preach the Gospel to every crea-
ture is, in the view Of an increasing num-
Der of those who take the deepest interest
In the problems Of human life, the world
over, whether strictly religious or hui
manitarian, the surest way to solve those
problems for the widest good. The COM
ing simultaneous meetings, In November,
will be worthy the interest and active par
ticipation Of all.

night, even at an unreasonable hour, to
wander about on helonely streets to hunt

A Faulty MIX Law,

A Faulty MIX Law.
The dairymen of Burlington county
have organized to secure the repeal or
modification of the present Milk law by
the next Legislature. Says an exchange,
il is evident that there Is something wrong
about the present milk law. The stand
ard is placed at too high mark. During
the past Summer great deal of milk has
been condemned as falling short OF the
requirements of law, and lost to the own
ers, that was undoubtedly put upon the
market just as it came from the cows.
That it lacked in solids was no fault OF
the dairymen. The unusually wet Sum-
mcr no doubt affected the pasture, and
hence Nature, and not the dairymen, is
to blame for the inferior milk. The law
needs to be improved. 1t certainly is not
right to entail loss upon the dairymen OF
our State by seizing their milk and sub
jccting them to law suits when they hon.
es.ly put their milk upon the market as it
comes from their COWS.

james b. Lambert was taken TO st.
Francis Hospital, Trenton, about one
o'clock on last Friday morning with a
pistol shot 10 his stomach, and died on
Friday night. The wound was received
at Hollis hotel, at Wilburtha, on Thursday
evening. Two Italians got into quarrel,
and one of them pulled revolver and
fired. The ball missed the Italian, but
struck Lambert, who was sitting in tho
saloon.
1t was at first thought that the wound
would not prove fatal, and the italian
named Salvatore, who did the shooting,
was not arrested, but when Lambert's
death was announced Constable Capped
started for Greensburg with the warrant.
The Italian had, however, disappeared,
and has not yet been captured.
Salvatore is reported as an Italian, OF
short figure, with little black moustachc,
dark hair, and wearing light colorcd
derby hat, that is slashed MS with knife
in four places. The easiest mark by which
to identify him, is a long ridge across his
forehead, which was left there by the
kick of horse some years ago.
Lambert was 90 years old, at one time
a lawyer of considerable reputation at
Doylestown, Pa, where he married an
estimable young lady, who died shortly
afterwsrd. From that event his down
ward career dates. He began neglecting
his business and frequented the various
saloons. He aftcrward married relative
OF his wife, but stillneglected his business
affairs, which soon became involved. He
then began drinking so hard that his wife
was forced to leave him, and he left
Doylestown, coming TO Yardley, where
be earned living In carpentering and
odd jobs.
II Salvatore is captured he will be held
for manslaughter, because, although he
did not intend to hit Lambert, his crimi-
nal negligence makes him responsible for
the result Of the shooting.

Nature took strong hand against the
Pennington Fair last week, and won. She
behaved nicely on Monday, and gave
promise that she would continue her
pleasant mood through the week, but on
Tuesday change came over her spirit,
and the light of Wednesday morning
found her going il again about right. And
didn't it rain9 One continuous downpour
of water OF course flooded out every hope
Of beginning the Fair on that day, and the
Executive Committee issued circulars tell
ing the people that the Fair would con-
tinue on Friday, when Wedcsday's pro-
gramme would be carried out.
But as the wind still remained 10 the
northeast on Thursday morning, and the
sky being still full OF clouds and leaking
little, the Executive Committee again
got together and concluded to declare the
Fair off for this year. The officers fore
saw shortage of funds to pay the pre-
miums and other expenses should they
open the Fair, and hence before the
judges awarded the premiums 1t was de-
cided to hold no Fair. That it was great
disappointment to everybody cannot be die
puted, but under the dampening influences
Of the weather we must say that we think
the Committee acted wisely. Had they
gone on and held the Fair, under the very
unfavorable conditions, the probabilities
are that the Society would have been
several thousands short OF funds to pay
expenses. And where would the money
have come 'FRONT.' There is none in the
treasury, aud the stockholders have al
ready been assessed to the farthcst limit.
People entitled to premiums would have
insisted,upon payment, and all can realize
how embarrassing II would have been for
the Society.
1t is generally agreed that with fayo--
able weather the Fair would have been
great success. The exhibits were very
fine, and most Of the departments were
filed to overlooking. Everybody felt
sorry that the Fair could not be held, for
tho thousands who would have visited the
ground must have appreciated the grand
display. There was large number OF
very fast horses entered, also, and perhaps
better time would have been made than
ever before seen on our track.
Along towards noon on Thursday the
sky began to brighten, and hundreds Of
people who had not yet heard that the
Fair had been declared Off began TO pour
into town. The report being circulated
that Prof. Jewell, the acronaut, would
make an ascension In the afternoon pros
vided the public would make up purse
of $50, had the effect OF drawing a great
many people over TO the Fair grounds
perhaps a couple Of thousand--the gates
being wide open and free for alto enter.
The ascension was made between 4 and
8 o'clock. II was most thrilling spec
taclc to sec the Professor ride so rapidly
skyward when all was ready, and more so
when at height OF some 1000 feet he de-
tached himself from the great balloon aud
slowly descended by mcansof the parachute
He landed short distance northeast OF
the A. NJ. E. Zion Church, about mile
from the starting point, and the balloon
went on till It reached Joseph Hill's farm,
near Reaville. = ltnterCion Democrat
