Editor Of Woman's Chronicle:

Editor Of Womans Chronicle:
According to 'the census Of the children in the
poor versus the arstocratic side of New York"
as stated in the May "a issue of your valuable pa
per- there are more than seven times as many chill
dren in Cherry Hill Ga tenement distrct,) than
there are in the same number Of families in Fifth
Avenue, and you conclude 'sthat the question, Is
wealth an enemy to childhood? is answerabe in
the affirmative evidently"
While it is true that more children are born to
the poor than to the rich, is it not evident that
many Of those that are born under the hard and
cruel conditions of poverty, would have been bet
ter off If they had never been born? Apropos to
this, some one has said 'if there were fewer ba-
bes in the world, perhaps they would be Of a
better quality" The wealth of Fifth Avenue is
doubtless excessive, and on that account may
prove curse to its possessors, but wealth, dis
tributed according to the demands of justice-not
equally, but equitably-woud be the means of
higher and grander attainments than the world has
yet known for such distribution would make
poverty the exception, and presumably leave no
one with bundle of riches as big as the hump on
the camels back. Under system of economy
that would give to each his or her just deserts,
poverty in its debarring form would disappear,
and millionares would be unknown; for, as a
great man has truly SAID, "Opulence is, in most
cases, the result of paying too little for the labor
that produced it," and we know that it is also the
result of especial privileges" obtained by class
legislation. 1t is even a question whether 'the
future of the nation depends more upon Cherry
Hill than upon Fifth Avenue" The class that
enjoys the mediocrity that Shakespeare commends,
should constitute the majority of the people of a
nation, and consequently be the governing body;
but the tendency in this so-called republic, is to
concentrate wealth in the hands of the few, max
ing the masses tenants and paupers, while the
middle clsss is gradually disappearing. The pow
erty that ensaves, emasculates manhood and de-
grades womanhood, and even the ballot in the

recently purchased from Mr.. George w.
Childs, of the Philadelphia Ledger, by
Mr.. C. S. Garrett, of that city, and after
being rebuilt and enlarged we're stocked
with the latest and most improved paper
making machinery. What the mill has
been doing under the efficient manage
ment of D. l.. McCorkindale, is shown
by the quantity of paper turned out re-
Gently ON single runs Of two machine
tenders. On August 9th VIM. j. Scot
ten, running from $50 p. m. to 7 q. M,
turned out Is, 436 lbs, and on August

are the largest runs ever made at Marley
and indicate excellent management of
that mill.

published by Charles W. Moulton, of
Buffalo, N. Y:
Mrs. Mary E. Ireland, whose maiden
name was Haines, has lived for many
years in Baltimore, where her husband
John Nj. Ireland, is in business; but her
native place is in Cecil County, Maryland.
There in the old honest lad of her parents
she was born, grew to womanhood was

who died in infancy, and a son and daugh-
estate. Mrs Ireland was educated at the
Ladies Seminary of Jamaica, Long Is

and the cultivation of flowers, beside
that for literary work, of which she has
done quite good deal in both the writ
ing of original stories and translating
AAoAAA VIZ oCih hcu YAH, IoCCaIiy
published, is one of her translations;
others are "Lenchen's Brother" 1.-THE
Platzbaker of Plauen," and 'Betty's De-
cision." One of her early efforts was an
article published in Scribners Magazine
for 1876, entitled 1.-The Defoe Family in
America" 1t was quite a success, at
tracing good deal of attention. She
has written many other magazine articles,
short stories and serials, two of her stor-
les taking prizes. Bernard Westerman,"

New York Witness. Her first book was
a collection OF her short stories woven

has been accepted by prominent London
firm. She has still another original work
nearly ready for publication.
Mrs. Ireland is blue eyed, brown hair
ed, pleasant faced lady, very agreeable III
manner and conversation; is blessed with
health and strength, and leads a busy,
happy, useful life.

Address to the Colored Women of Cecil
Comfy.

Friends: Whereas terrible crisis is
one of our most wise, beneficial and whole
some laws; we, the women already enrolled
under the banner of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, do earnestly invite you,

Should our present excellent prohibitory
law be annulled by the votes cast on the
fourth day of November, 1890, how many
will learn with sorrow in the next four
years that the triumph of the saloon means
the destruction of the home. Having
learned from experience the benefits of or
ganiZation, we are DESTROYS of forming I'm
ions among the colored women of our
county, to join hands with us in fighting
our blood thirsty foe, King Alcohol.

INNINGS.


There are probably more tickets sold
at the station of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore railroad in this
town than at any station on the line ex-
cepting Wilmington and Chester and of
course the terminal cities. 1t will sur
prise many of our readers to know that
two thousand, three hundred and seventy
three tickets we're sold during the month
of August, and sixteen thousand pounds
of baggage and ice cream shipped. Four
of our citizens attempted to guess the
number of tickets sold. One named 1900,
the second IT'S, the third 1910 and the
other $50
