At the NEW STORE UNDER
THE OPERA HOUSE

We have made especial prepara-
tions for this season. particularly in
Boys and Children's Clothing.
1t is not at all times convenient
for the mother to take her little
boys to the city, besides it is expen
sive. We have over twenty styles
and patterns of children's 2-piece
suits at all prices from sI.5o to
s5.75, and there is saving in the
price of every one--in other words
there is not a single suit but we can
and will sell you cheaper than you
can match it for in Philadelphia.
This being the case it would seem
like waste Of time and money to
go to the city for these wants. Stop
in and look through our stock.
Those in charge will take pleasure
in showing it to you. You are not
expected or importuned to buy.
We have invested thousands Of
dollars in our Spring Stock of
Clothing for Youths and Young
Men, and can suit all both in quality
and in price,
We still take 10 per cent. off on
shoes, and will continue to do SO
until further notice. 1t makes prices
low. Stop in and see how low we
are selling them. Every pair war
ranted good quality.

''Wcll, what do you think of the preach

the week or So elapsing since conference,
among South Jersey Methodists "Oh,

he was good hall hour at york on that.
Mr.. Blank wonld have said all he said and

"IIow do | like the preacher? Well,

"Wcll should say he was conceited if

how often he spoke Of himself and my
college days?' OF course, he thought we
took it in as A pat Of the service, but, oh
my, how shallow"
"My, but wasn't that good sermon9
and how feelingly delivered, too. Pm sure

recognition Of friends, too, and ho didn't
mean earthly friends altogether, I'm sure.

We rather suspect that Mr.. Boies, the
recently made Chief Magistrate of the
seldom elects. Democratic Governors State
of Iowa, has been lately indulging in some
sharp practice, If nothing worse, and
strains point on the prohibition question
TO please the rum men of the State and his
Democratic followers.
In his Inauguration at Des Moines Feb
ruary 25th the Governor said that prohibit
ton was distastefnl to the people and that
the issue of lis election was plainly made
on that line.
To settle this manifesto of the Governor
one way or the other, several religious
papers of the Nofthwest-the Minneapolis
Free Baptist the northeastern Presbyterian,
the Northeastern Congrsaationalist and the
Methodist Hsyald-reeently joined in send
ing to elergymen and others in Iowa a
series of questions designed to ascertain
the real sentiment of the best classes of
that State upon the Prohibition issue.
The questions Propounded were these
"Did the late election signify any dan
gerous dissatisfaction with the Iowa tenn
perance law?
rs It seriously proposed 10 repeal the
law
''Are good people convinced that Pro
hibition is beyond question, all things
considered, The best protection for the
home ard State?
. hat are the most imperative demands
of the henr upon the temperance host?"
And the answers received from 2G3 per-
sons, ineluding among the number minis
ters Gf the various denominations of TIE
State, college presidents lawyers, Sena-
tors, bankers, real estate men and Others
in v hieh the testimony to the good effects
Of the Iowa prohibitory law were simply
overwhelming.
The Significance of these letters lies in
the faet that they are received from OBJ
servant and intelligent people-the best
citizens of the State, who understand the
situation fully and can be trusted to report
upon it without bias. When i'll such an
inquiry only ten persons can be found in a
total of 263 who are ready to avow pre-
ference for High License or Local Option,
no fair.minded man can fail to recognize
the wiekcdness OF stupidity OF the false
hoois to whose circulation the daily news
papers have so ihduStriouSly devoted them
selves.
