dress was among the very best ever de-
liYered in Woodstown, and it is only TO be
regretted that the audience was not larger.
Mrs. Chants delivery is so rapid that we
were unable to secure even an outline of
the points touched on. The audience,
during the hour and over of her address,
paid rapt attention to the speaker. follow
ing with intense interest the manythoughts
and suggestions thrown out on the sub
jeet in question. In two instances, when
relating the story of girls that had been
rescued from lives Of shame by the per-
sonal efforts Of the speaker, there were
but few dry eyes in the audience. We re-
greet our inability to present a resume Of
the address.
Mrs. Chant remained in Woodstown un-
Ill yesterday, when she started for Wash
ingtoD, d. c., where she is to deliver an
address. On Tuesday evening a number
of invited guests, including many of the
"Y's," were pleasantly entertained at the
residence Of Dan Ware, the occasion being
a sort of ''parlor meeting" at which Mrs.
Chant sang and played some songs of her
own composition and gave an informal adj
dress.
In a short interview which was granted
a representative of the MONITOR yesterday
afternoon, Mrs. Chant was found to be as
pleasing in conversation as on the lecture
platform, winning everyone with whom
she comes in contact by her grace and
earnestness of manner. We learned that
this is her second visit to America, and
that she had just arrived in New York ON
Saturday, speaking there on Sunday. The
voyage over was a very severe one, so
much so that on landing she expressed a
desire to go right back home at once. Since
her first visit here she has delivered many
lectures in England on America and al
ways to interested audiences. Her tour,
which is under the auspices of the Worlds
w. G. t. u, is to be continued into other
countries, and will probably extend around
the world. Mrs. Chant is a prominent adj
yocate of gymnastics and singing as a
means of developing healthy children, and
expressed a strong wish that Woodstown
would have a gymnasium and a choral
union when next she visited it. Besides
being a lecturer, she has talents as artist
aud author that have been fully developed
and exercised, and is nov having printed
in England a volume Of faction Songs for
Children" written and composed by her
for her own four children, but which are
to be published for general use. The
songs are accompanied by movements for
developing the muscles of the body. Mrs.
Chant expressed herself as highly pleased
with oIr little town and its surroundings.

Woedstown has been favored in 4 liter
ary sense this week in having had the OPP
p~ortunity of listening to two Of the most
eloquent and talented women ia the land,
peers in their chosen fields. The splendid
discourse of Mrs. l.. Ormiston Chant in
the Opera House on Monday night only
whetted the appetite for the good things
that were set before us last night in the
address of Miss Frances E. Willard, of
Evanston, ILL.,, President of the Worlds
w. G. T.. Z. and of the National W. G. 4.
L. The announcement that Miss Willard
was to speak in Woodstown was a
pleasant surprise to those who had
never had the chance to hear this
leader of the w. G. I. L. army,
and but short time was had TO make pre-
~parations for the meeting, final arrange
ments not being concluded until Wednes-
day morning. For the privilege of listen
ing to such an address as was given last
night, our citizens are indebted TO u
townsman, VIM. z. Flitcraft, who, while
calling on Miss Willard is Philadelphia on
Tuesday evening learned that her engage
ments for Thursday were not Imperative,
and at once secured her consent to deliver
an ado ress here, and with characteristic
energy set about the work of ing
the same.
The Opera House has not had such an
audience within its doors since its opening
as was drawn there last night BY this an
nouncement. The body and gallery Of the
house were filed with an intelligent audi
ence gathered from ten miles around, aud
they were repaid for coming.

disposal to review the clear.eut, mastery

so,u,.on or l,e uilk question.

The %dairymen in the counties within a
radius of fifty miles Of Philadelphia COM
plain that they can scarcely make a living
at supplying milk to city customers, as the
largest part of the cost Of the milk is taken
by the middlemen, or dealers, who merely
haul it from the railroad stations and dis
tribute it to citizens. These middlemen
also regulate the price, say they will only
pay SO much per quart, and the farmers
must submit. The Dslanare County Amer
lean last week says it has become simply a
question as to whether the farmers shall
take the business into their own hands,
which they can do at any time, or quit it
altogether. 1t advises dairymen to organ
ize into associations, employ their own
agents to sell milk to customers in the city,
and the profits that now go into the pock-
cts of the middlemen would largely be
made by the producers.

1t is opinion that farmers and Others
making yendues depend too much money
on posters or bills, and do too little adj
vertising in newspapers. We think that if
the money spent in securing large and cost
ly posters, were placed in the shape Of
newspaper advertising, those making sales
would receive better returns. In these
days every one reads the papers, men, wo-
men and children, while we venture the
assertion that half Of the bills posted in
stores and other places are either torn
down or covered up long before the date of
sale. These are only suggestions, given
for what they are worth, to which we
would add the statement that we are print
ing the large majority of the vendue post
ers in this vicinity, doing good work at the
lowest possible prices. Send in your or
