The Ca,Ifornia Wine REMEDY.

During his visit to California a year ago,
Ex-Gov. st. John made personal and thor
ough investigation of the extent to which
native wines diminish drunkenness and the
number of saloons. The following is the
result of his observation as given in his
speech at indianapolis lately:
81 visited a place of 2 600 Inhabitants
among the foothills of the Sierra Neyadas.
There were vineyards On every side. In
that place were forty-two saloons and three
churches. At night l spoke to j packed
house. The three ministers were there. |
said to the Methodist: "How goes the
church?' All uphill and sandy road
lie answered. What's your membership
He hesitated and then said: 'Forty-six.'
How many male members have you?'
The answer was One The Presbyterian
minister had no male members in his church
at all. What progress can right thinking
to every fifty of the people.
"1n San Francisco, a lady teacher told
me that she often knew of children bring
ing bottles OF wine to school and being so
confused in the middle of the afternoon
that they had to be sent home. | also met
there a physician who was attending a
young lady Of eighteen for Gelirium
tremens, brought on by the use of wine
from her fathers own vineyard. | have
come to the conclusion that the nearer you
come to the vineyards of California, the
worse you are off. 1t is very DEVILS broth
that paralyzes and demoralizes everything
it touches. In Sacramento, the capital
city of the State, with 80, 900 inhabitants,
there are but eight churches. -Four of
these have no minister, while there are 400
saloons. All this is under the wonderful
influence of wine, a temperance drink. |

Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, in all editor
ial on woman's wages in the Woman's Jour-
nal mentions a curious fact in a competition
of sculptors in Boston. The matter on foot
was the erection of a statue to a distin-
guished citizen, who had recently died. All
sculptors were invited to send models of
the deceased citizen, and with it their ma N
in a sealed envelope. Miss Anne Whitney's
model was decided the best, but when her
envelope was opened the judges reversed
their decision, as it was too much honor to

We bought and sold a few cases
of the LESTER BOOTS, made at
Binghampton, New York. They gave
such general satisfaction that we
quadrupled u order last year, and
this season we have already made
arrangements with the maker for a
much larger supply. All who have
had them want them again, and not
only them, but they send us new
customers, and SO it goes. 1T IS
THE BEST BOOT MADE. We
have yet to hear the first complaint,
but on the contrary all speak well of
them. They COST NO MORE
THAN OTHER MAKES, and you
may as we'll have the best. Don't
forget us when you want to buy.

by a close application to study.
Taking it all in all we have a pretty
thorough acquaintance of Southern New
Jersey, from Camden down, and the other
day in a mental review took in the list OF
those who work for their living, physically
and mentally Outside of ministers), and
who enjoyed the benefits OF a three OF fouT
weeks vacation the past summer,
and the number was surprisingly small.
Very few editors, lawyers and merchants
had the privilege, and the hare worked
mechanic and laborcrs who were bothers
on the strand, or climbers of the rocky
ledge, were still less in number.
We remarked, too, that very few hotel
proprietors or saloon keepers TOOK a rest
at tina time of the year, aud that the devil
was as busy in the summer as III the Win
ter months, damning souls and leading the
young aud unwary to ruin. We noted fur
tler that some OF the old war horses of the
ministry, three score and over i'll age, who
had scarce ever been able To take a vaca-
ton on a 800 to $500 salary, were looking
fairly well and managing somehow to wor-
ry along as well as their more fortunate,
and better led brethren ON their annua
vacation and large salary.
What with a 81, 200 salary, house rent
and furniture free, travel at half rates as
well as the price of most OF the necessities
of living, frequent marriage fees OF from
50 to SO each, free education of their chill
dren, and many ether gratuities furnished
them, we think the minister of the present
day able to live after a fashion, particular
ly when it is remembered that bat few of
them contribute but little if any thing to
the public aud private charities of the day
or to the beneyolenees of the church. We
really think that the ministers and under
takers need looking after.

The third day of the convention brought
out a large and enthusiastic attendance.
The morning session opened with routine
work OF the county presidents, superiutend-
ents, secretaries and treasurers. This was
followed by i PRAYER seryi ~, led by Mrs
Emma lIorncr. OF Dudley. The election
of officers resulted in the re election of the
present officers, Who are: President and
organizer, Mrs. Sarah j. G. Downs, Of
Ocean Grove: corresponding secretary,
Mrs. J. 7. Ellis, of Newark, recording
, secretary, Mrs. Emma Bourne, Of Newark;
Miss Julia Thomas, of New York, closed
the morning session by a lecture III physi-
cal culture.
The climax oil interest was reached at
| the committee on resolutions was read and
adopted. The first resolution was receiy-
ed With the heartiest applause and was
passed with but one dissenting vote. 1t
provided for a petition to the legislature to
extend to women the right of suffrage at
municipal elections. Another resolution
urged the enactment of a civil damage law
and a Law compelling scientific instruction
in the public schools on the effect of alco-
hol and narcotics. Another proposed the
adoption of measures for educating the
foreign population on the temperance
question and declared against impure lit
erature. Still another recommended that
women be placed on the Bible, Sunday
school and tract society boards in
churches. The last of the resolutions was
greeted with the same applause as the
first. 1t was a third party Prohibition
measure, and pledged the union to en-
courage taose tho have organized for the
purpose of securing the prohibition of the
liquor traffic. AT night George W. Balm,
of Kentucky, addressed the delegates in
Educational Hall. Asbury Park, on the
subject of temperance.
Friday morning the deyotions were led
by Mrs. Nj. c. Mobiles. of Atlantic High
lands. The superintendent of departments
read reports treating of the progress of the
temperance work among the foreign pop
ulation; of the work of lessenipg the use of
narcotics and tobacco; Of kitchen gardens,
and of methods Of working at County and
State fairs.
A resolution was adopted recommending
a plan for a more thorough system of stat
istical blanks for the use of the correspond
ing secretaries, treasurers and superintend-
ents of departments. This resolution will
be presented to the National Convention,
which is to be held in Chicago on Novem-
Der s. The following delegates were APP
pointed to the National Convention:

CLOTHING! CLOTHING
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
well known that we are in position
to buy cheaper than others and at
all times prepared and willing to
work on close profits. This season
we are 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 OF overcoat, come to headquar-
tiers where you get full returns for
every penny you invest.
Buyers from Swedesboro, Salem
or Alloway, whose purchases
amount to TEN DOLLARS or
over, will have their fare paid both
ways.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 81, 1899.
The appointment of Green B.. Raum to
be COMMISSIONS of Pensions is a great sur
prise even to the senators from Illinois,
who knew no more than the public of the
Presidents intention. It is stated that Re
preventative Cannon and Secretary Rusk
were the principal movers in the case.
Viewed from a political standpoint the
selection is as good as might have been
made. Major Poole, of New York, was I'M
available and Senator Hiseock should haye
known it. He had bitterly opposed Tan
ner's friends in March and Lis appointment
would have been distasteful to them. Be
sides, there was no reason for believing
that Major Poole was competent to conduct
the business.
