X movement is on foot TO organize a
board of trade at Swedcsboro.
A Chautauqua circle was organized at
Swedesboro last Saturday evening.
More passengers are carried daily from
Mullica Hill than from Glass5oro, oyerthe
new railroad.
Nincty-year.old William Whitson, died
at his home in Good Intent, Gloucester
county, last Sunday, after having fallen
from a window and broken a thigh. His
son-in-law, George Bird, with whom he
resided, was charged by the Coroner's jury,
after an inquest on Tuesday, with neglect
ing to send for medical aid for eighteen
hours after the old man was found and
with treating him cruelty.
The railroad men are pleased with
the travel from Mullica Hill since
the passenger train has been put on. As
many as thirty passengers have come off
the extension at one trip. Workmen are
busy driving piles in the meadow prepara-
tory to placing a trestle work on which
the railroad is to cross the branch. The
farmers have turned in with their teams
to help in leveling the hill where the de-
pot is to be placed.
A report has been prepared by a special
committee of the Gloucester County Board
of Freeholders favoring the establishment
of a county insane asylum. The cost of a
suitable building, furnished, is estimated
at $35, 600, and comparing the cost of sup
porting SO patients in the State institution
at 1917 per week each. with the weekly
cost of 81 per week in the Camden County
Asylum, the committee concludes that with
the payment of the interest on the invest
ment and proper running expenses, Glou-
ccster county could save about $4,000 per
year. The committee claims that since
1884 the number of insane in the county
has doubled.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb 4. 1859.
Book News for February is
ready.
Dullest time of year with
Book makers, and yet February
Book News tells Of sesen1r-eight
nee Books, and gives clews to
the drift and worth of most OF
them. Very likely not 10 Of
these IS Books have any special
interest to you; another 10
appeal to some one else, and so
on. Somc10hege thereis a mind
niche for every one of these new
Books.
But how many of you have
the time or the chance to dig in
to the Books ofevery month and
make a choice? The common
way is to buy hap-hazard-or go
without.
Ofcourse when a Book is in
everybody's talk-as Robert
Elsmere' or John Ward,
Preacher, are just now-curi-
osity pricks you to read it. But
that's a slow way to get a hint.
Book News readers see the
light of new genius at the dawn
ing.
Newspaper men are in the
full sweep Of the new-Book cur
rent. No one knows better than
they what it is to have the
drudgery of Book looking and
weighing and choosing done by
a safe friend. Here is what

By all odds the simplest and
best working Meat Chopper we
know of is the Philadelphia.
Foav pieces only. A child can
take it apart, clean it, and put it
together again in few seconds.
The common meat cutter is a
'g1znaer. The meat is rolled and
and crowded to get
through the machine until
the juice drips. Every house
keeper knows how the flavor
and keeping qualities of meat
are hurt by making it into a
mushy mass.
The Philadelphia Meat Chop
per doesn't grind, 1t cuts. Meat
that passes through it is chop
ped into bits as a sharp pair of
scissors would snip strips of pa
per. The cutting is by scissors
action. There is no squeezing
and heating Of the meat as by
other methods. AT the first
push whatever is to be cut is
brought plump against the cut
tiers. A gristle or a stringy
piece or a fibre of any kind can
not pass through uncut.
It chops
beef tongue
poultry snet
in a way to fit them for the most
delicate dishes. Minces herbs
and vegetables. Does anything
that the old chopping-knife would
do texeept cut fingers and does
it better.
The Philadelphia Meat Chop
per will finely cut a pound of
raw meat IN less than one minute,
or a pound of cooked meat IN
less MaR tao minutes.
Price $50.
The machines can be seen in
operation in the Basement near

those present it was decided to form the

"A lumber merchant was recently dis.
cussing the introduction OF California red
wood into the trade at the East and its
extraordinary growth in popularity. ''Six
years ago." he said, ''this wood was COM
paratively unknown to the general trade.
Now it is one of the most popular of the
cheaper grades. By right it should be
sold at a less price than pine, and were 1t
not for the cost of transportation, such
would be the case. As it Is it sells for
small price higher. The red wood is
about as pretty polished as any you ever
saw. The grain is very close and its sur
face has a softness liks delicately woven
silk. When it is simply planned its surface
looks like satin, so rich is its luster.
Cabinet workers like the wood exceed
ingly. They can carve it with the
greatest readiness for it is very
soft, and its pretty color, which is slightly
misnamed, lends itself to shading with
much effect. Builders are using it con-
siderably for wainscoting, frieses. built
up cabinets, balustrades and the like, and
some. too. are even giving it the prefer
snce for flooring. But for this latter pur-
pose it is not good because of its liability
to denting. There is little doubt that the
Georgia pine will soon give place to the
California red wood. Some Of the most
richly finished interiors in the city show
examples Of work in red wood that the
workers In the valuable hard woods could
not possibly reproduce. Yet the coioring
is as rich and the cost is not more than
ne.quarter.-N Y. Times.

Coal For PagO-Pago.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. S.-For the first
time in the history of the Government q
Secretary of the Navy has opened nego.
tiations with ship-owners in this State to
carry coal 900 miles from Philadelphia to
the Samoan islands. A few days ago
Secretary Whitney wrote to c. H.
Eldridge, pay director of the United
States navy in this city, asking him
for what price anthracite coal could be
bought. The Secretary said 1900 tons
were wanted for use at the United States
coaling station in the Samoan islands. and
informing Mr.. E!dredge 10 send him the
names of ship owners. Mr.. Eldredge sent
to Mr.. Whitney the names of those COM
panies which he thought would undertake
the contract, and it is more than likely
that the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company will be awarded the
contract
