PnILADELPHIA. Monday, May IL. 1880.
Only the finest cotton care
fully worked gets into the love-
ly Brandenburgs. Lumpy,
knotty thread might do in ORR
entail limitations (it is apt to be
the Oriental way to have them
but a smooth, perfect surface is
one of the choicest Brandenburg
graces. On such cotton the
art printer can do his daintiest
work. Not even the rarest
Sateens Guido the Branden-
hurgs in beauty of printing.
Hardly the stuff you expect to
get at zoe a yard!
A large number of exquisite
new patterns and colorings
have been recently added;
among them black figures on
white grounds for the first time.

Vt the NEW STORE
THE OPERA HOUSE

We have made especial prepara-
tons 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 $3.50 to
s5.7s, and there is a 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 a waste of time and money to
go to the city for these wants. Stop
in and look through u 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 a 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.

the officers appointed for the purpose to
refrain from holding the proposed election
until the further order of the court. These
orders were served on Friday, by Sheriff
Butcher, and further proceedings in the
ma tier of the election have been STAYED for
the present.
NJ. P. Grey and E. 5. Fogg, appearing
for those favoring re incorporation, on
Saturday asked Judge Reed to so modify
his order as to allow the election to take
place, the result to be afterward adiudi-
Gated upon by the Supreme Court. but he
declined to allow the election to be held.
No one believes that the constitutionality
of the law will ever be tested, these pro-
ceedings having been brought With a view
to block the election until a license for the
coming year could be obtained. Further
developments will be awaited with in

The Woodstown correspondent of the
South derseyman has this to say in con-
nection with the election we expected to
hold last Tuesday, and which was enioined
by Judge Reed, based on an affirmation of
complaint by one James d. Lawson:
The Prohibitionists of the borough ha We
been, Of course, urging the battle on, but
one OF their number claimed that those
who are most interested in the sale of
liquor were being much abused, and failed
to cooperate with those whom he loved to
counsel in time of peace. Whether he will
be asked to resign his prominent position
in the party, if be fails to give satisfactory
reasons for his convictions, We cannot say,
but should think the sooner such chaff is
ridd led from their ranks the-but we must
hold our breath; it is zone of our business.

acted wisely, for no could have done no

WHY the President should have set him
