A continual coughing is very an
noying to persons sitting near you in
any kind ola gathering; besides, it is
of great damage to the throat and
lungs, and is exceedingly dangerous
at this season of the year. One.half
bottle of Begg's Cherry Cough Syrup
will relieve any ordinary cough, and
this remedy costs no more than the
inferior grades that are thrown on
the market to sell at enormous profits.

In our opinion, as between james
Butcher and Richard T. Starr, the voters
of the county owe it to themselves and to
the best interest of the county and state to
elect the latter to represent them in the
Senate. Mr.. Starr has wisdom and intel
ligenee enough to formulate his own opin-
ions and courage enough to act on his con-
illusions. But if We are to judge of MIR.
Butchers fitness for the position he seeks
by his administration of the Sheriff S
Office. as we see it, we would conclude that
he was willing others should do the think
ing. Salem county wants a man for Sena-
tor who will represent all its people and
the interest of all, and not do the bidding
of a few to the injury of the many.

The old-party managers, after enaeting
the so-called Ballot Reform law, have now
given it out that the law makes it neces-
sary 10 vote straight" party ticket,
either Democratic, Republican or Prob ibi-
ton, and that all split or pasted ballots
will be thrown ou.. This is not the case and
any one has the privilege of using past

have not been printed on the official ballot.
The use of pastors is perfectly legal and any
one can scratch off a name from the ballot
and write in another name, as will be seen
by reference to Section 40 of the ballot
law, which reads:
$40. That nothing in this act contained

Zen REASON For stgnfaG The PIedge

+. Sign the Pledge: it is your protest
against stroug drink.-It is tins for every
thoughtful person 10 enter a solemn pro-
test against strong drink. which is every
year infiIcting such awful havoc among the
human race. Who can be indifferent to
the woes it brings 81. hearts and homes all
over our land?
.. Sign the Pledge: it viii benefit your
health.-Aicohol IS not more necessary to
health than any other chemical or medi-
cinal agent. 1t excites the heart, binders
digestion, distufbs the liver and stupefies
the brain. 1t gives a momentary glow aud
stimulus, but You have to pay for them
afterward by an inevitable lessening of
vital heart and animal power and mental
force. Even in moderate quantities, it acts
as an i~rritant and a poison.
3. Sign the Pledge: it will save your
purse.-Sit down and caculate how much
you spend per day in drink-not only for
Yourself but also for those whom you
treat. 1t will amount to a respectable sum
in the course of the year. Add to this the
money you might earn in the time you
now lose. Add to this all the sums
| %squandered wastefully in the company in
to which habits of drinking lead you.
And when all is put together, would it not
make a nice nest-egg against a rainy day,
or for Illness and old age?
1. Sign the Pledge: it will save you from
temptation.-fou have no intention of be-
coming Il dtuukard; you scorn the
thought. But there is a risk Of your be-
coming one, so long as you tamper with
the drink.
5. Sign the Pledge: it will be a definite
s~tarting-peiat in your history.--In all
efforts after a better life, it is well to have
some landmark or time-mark to which to
look back and from which TO date.
G. Sign the Pledge: it will save you
time.-lIow many days in the week dc
drinkers spend ia the saloon, at bars and
in social drinking, which is time worse
than wasted.
7. Sign the Pledge: it will be sufficient
answer to those who tempt you todrink.-
There is no answe that a man can give so
good as his. There are some men who
must have a reason to give others for do
ing as they do, and here is a clear, straight.
forward answer for refusing to drink: 81
have signed the Pledge"
s. Sign She Pledge: it makes a strong
obligation.-If a person simply make a
resolution, he feels at liberty to withdraw
from it if he chooses; bnt if he makes a
solemn promise To which he has put his
hand, he cannot think of breaking it.
9. Sign the Pledge; it makes it easier fol
others to do the same.-We are creatures
of fashion. We cannot help it; we are
made so. What one does others are apt
to do.
10. Sign the Pledge: it will be a great
help to your neighbor and your weaker
brother.-Many a man has been saved be-
cause some other man gave his example
and influence and name to total abstinence.

An event in the Fine Art
history of Philadelphia.
On the third floor of our
store an Oriental Bazaar has
been created for the display of
a collection of Textile and other
articles from the far East. Our
city has not heretofore seen
very much of the Art of the
Orient, especially in Textiles,
and we are therefore exceeding
ly proud to bring to art lovers
in Philadelphia an exposition of
Rugs and Carpets from Persia
and the tribes of Tartary, from
the towns of Asia Minor and
the nomads ofSyria and Arabia
in variety and interest far be-
yond anything yet seen here or
in any other American city save
perhaps New York.
You don't need to take a
ride to khiva," to catch in
spiration from the Fire Wor-
shippers or the Arabian Nights,
to float down the Nile taking
notes with a Howadji in order
to be under the spell of the far
East. You are freely and
cordially invited to enjoy the
Oriental Bazaar.
The elevators or stairs will
quickly place you under Oriental
influences. It's a0o,M Mtnh1Rg
about. Within this enclosure
you are surrounded by textiles
that are without exception an
tique. In color and figure they
are original. The debasing in
huence of cheap French dyes is
destroying delicate touches of
color produced in strange ways
from earth and roots, flowers
and vegetables--some are al
ready lost, Occidental taste
was slow in approaching the
sentiment of Oriental Art, but
now that Europe ana America
are demanding these rich old
fabrics the dreamy Oriental
succumbs to the occidental
tendency to shams and often
buys cheap dyes to replace the
sorts created by his ancestors
with infinite care and patience.
But that is too big a subject to
discuss here.
These Rugs date back dec
AIDES and centuries-none of
them are modern. As you look
you wonder why you admire
them. The figures are strange,
the colors never weary, and de
spite their age are clear and
bright. They grow old grace
fully, merely becoming softer,
more tender and richer with the
lapse Of time. Strange, too.
the thought that they are never
made to Understanding
machine-llke, mechanical. All
hand work, usually the work of
a single hand, they are the
outcome Of the fancy of the
weaver, And yet we call the
makers Barbarians.
There are Silk hangings 800
years old from a Japanese
Temple-pedigrce thrtughly
established-and many other
things of deep interest.
You may dream here if you
will, it wouldn't take much i'm
agitation to locate the awful
presence of the yelled Prophet
or some grim-visaged Turk,
Naigilehand all, On one ofthese
grand old Rugs. But JoH can
fill the place Of Turk or Persian,
kurd of Tur Roman if you
choose to buy a Rug.
And the sum of this all is
come and enjoy these things
nobody asks you to buy them.
II you are critic, collector, con
nolsseur you are very welcome,
II you are not and merely have
a fancy for beautiful things you
are just as welcome.
