ACCORDING TO the New York Sun, Bal
timore's famous seat of learning, Johns
Hopkins University, the pride of the
state and city, is in want and distress,
and the funds for its sustenance during
the current term were obtained by pass
ing the hat around among friends. Thus
the princely liberallty Of the philan-
thropic old Quaker who lavished requests
amounting to nearly four million dollars
on this university have gone for nought
for now all that remains to it is pile Of
school buildings, a stretch Of unmarked
able suburban lands aud huge bundle
Of worthless paper representing stock in
bankrupt railroad. Tis sad recital
this Of the Sun that tells Of how Johns
Hopkins was pulled down during the evil
DAYS that fell on the B q O. railroad
It's founder left it as an endowment fund
/ 500 shares Of stock in this road at a
market value OF over So. 600 0O0an which
brought ia an annual revenue OF nearly
$50 600. Through the manipulations Of
John w. Garrett and his successor Rob
ert Garrett the road ceased paying divi-
dends and from the proud eminence where
magnificent endowment and princely
income had placed it the famous educa
tional seat has tumbled to the humiiat-
ing position Of being mendicant among
universities and its very existence is
precarious and in jeopardy unless some
wealthy friend should re endow it.

In all the SEPTEMBER Limited
Sale there has been no Bargain
so costly to somebody as that
of the Dress TRIMMINGS
offered in the Chestnut street
entrance today. A decayed
limb should be cut of for the
health of the tree-so with
these Dress Trimmings. AS
trimmings they will have life
and vigor to you; as meYchan-
disc they are dead to us.
We do not ask you to cry
over losses, but we aO0uld have
you understand that cost is not
considered when the time
has come for goods to go.
These things come here in
a way quite out of the com
mon, they 60 the common
way, the Bargain way. the
way that such stuffs always go
from here.

Clothing.
Twenty-eight years and more
ago we began our talk to
this community and the coun-
try at large about Clothes for
Men and Boys. In some form
the talk has been daily, Sun
days and holidays excepted,
ever since.
You look over your school
day compositions and ask,

So 0Oe browsing over our past
Clothing Advertising, are dis
posed to ask the same ques-
ton. But whatever we may
think of it as literature, it has
the quality of truth from first
to last, and that made our
Clothing business.
Talk like this has little place
in the announcements of the
September Limited Sale. A
Bargain flavor is presumed to
pervade it. Well, there are
Bargains in the Clothing. But
the thought of the Opening
season is upon the excellence
and completeness Of the stock.
We must express it.
Men may find comfort and
style, economy and durability
in the great stock now oper
and ready; Boys may find-ol
their elders for them the
highest clothing skill of the
period. The mothers come
here naturally. 1t would be
against nature for us to neglecr
the stock of Boys Clothing
1t is not neglected. On The
contrary, we take long steE

Preserving Fence Posts.

In building fence around our young
orchards, several years ago, we tried
many plans for preserving the posts.
Having occasion to remove the fence
this winter, we noted the condition of
the posts as follows: Those set with
no preparation were decayed an inch
or more; those coated with q thick
wash OF lime were better preserved,
but were quite seriously attacked by
worms; those posts coated with hot tar
were perfectly sound as when put in
the ground; those painted with pc
troleum and kerosene were equally
sound and good for setting. Let the
posts get thoroughly dry, and then,
with a pan of cheap kerosene and
whitewash brush, give the lower third
OF the post, the part to go in the ground,
two or three applications of the oil,
letting it soak in we'll each time. Posts
SO treated will not be troubled by
worms and insects OF any kind, but will
resist to a remarkable degree. This
we find to be tho simplest, easiest,
cheapest and best method OF preserva.

Growth OF Temperance Sentiment.

The Temperance cause made prog.
ress during the last year encouraging
enough to stimulate the hopes of all
its friends. 1t can not be said, per.
haps, that any one way, either of regu-
lation or suppression, make gain dis
tinctly greater than any other; but the
spirit of opposition to the traffic has
been more widely diffused among the
people and largely increased in inten-
sity. Some practical ends have been
reached, of course, with more or less
hope of permanent success, but the
main advance has been that of ex-
tended and deepened conviction, the
actual result of which will be realized
in the near or more remote future.
1t is but natural that they who
have thorough hostility to the drink
traffic, and who have long made war
upon it, should be impatient, but they
need not be so. Hardly any real ref
ormation, involving so great a change
in the habits of the people, has gone
on SO rapidly and triumphed over SO
many obstacles in its way. Success Of
a radical sort must be waiting in the
near future. United Presbyterian.

Membership of the w. G. T. U.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union has never stated that its men,
bership was exactly 100000, more or
less, but has believed this to be q fair
estimate, being under rather than over
the number of its roll call. 1t is we'll
known that in all philanthropic socie-
ties the entire membership never pays
the annual fee. Absence, illness, neg
lect and many other reasons will &C
count for this. The small sum of fifty
cents which is annually charged by
most unions is not regularly paid by
percentage of the members, and O
treasurer is hardly likely to go around
and collect it. But 100000 members.
and probably $4,000 besides are in the
direct following of the w. c. Il. u,

their prospective greatness, Peters

verted the course OF trade, and now
despite their great names the three
towns are deserted and in ruins.
