Jerry Will be Heard.

Washington, February 23.-Congress-
man-elect Jerry Simpson, OF Kansas,
representing the farmers alliance, was
one of the speakers before the house
coinage committee. He said the farm
ers of the country demanded and would
insist on more money. He advocated
free coinage as one means to this end
and also the sub-treasury scheme and
issuance of paper money as other
methods whereby more money could be
put into circulation. The people
demanded a great deal more money
and it was the duty of the government
to furnish it. Mr.. Simpson said he did
not care if free coinage did cause silver
to come to the United States. BE
wished it would come and it could not
come too soon, for it would give the

4 Texas woman has discovered that a
pile of cotton seed is the best of incuba-

Let woodstown Take warning.

Woodstown should follow the exa mple
Of Clinton, N. j., but unlike her, should
not wait for a disastrous c~onf1agrati on to
destroy the entire business portion OF the
town, before taking action. As we men,
toned last week, the town of Clinton, Hun
terdon county, suffered two weeks ago
from a most sweeping fire, having had no
more protection from this relentless ele-
ment thar has Woodstown at the present.
At the meeting of the Common Council
of Clinton on Tuesday night Mayor John
son appointed a committee of four to pur-
chase a steam fire engine and other neces-
sary apparatus. 4 petition is being circu-
lated to-day, and largely signed by the tax
payers, asking the Common Councilto bond
the town 10 the sum of S., 600 to pay the ex-
penss incurred to secure protection from
fire. These bonds are to bear legal interest,
and tn e petition provides that 81, 900 of the
principal be paid each year until the
amount is cancelled. A special election
will be held at once to endorse the action
of the Council and in every way legalize
the movement.
Will it take such a terrible fire as Clin-
ton had to stir Woodstown's authorities to
decisive action? Let us hope not.

bearing on the subject OF the day, were well

OF the exercises the pastor gave a thrilling
address on Bible work, which warmed The
hearts Of his hearers and urged many OF them

work. The collection was the largest even

1t is not true. for you cannot 60
to any place except a drug store and
get Pierce's patent medicines. SO
what use is there in advertising
goods that one has not and cannot
get? AT the East Avenue Phar-
macy however you can get Pierce's
patent medicines or anyone's else.
We however do not intend to adyer-
tise goods that we do not have Just
for the sake of getting you here.
We are not cut threats in the drug
business and do not intend to cut
prices but we do intend to sell the
best goods the market affords at
honest living prices.

At one of the wharves in South Camden
lies moored the four-masted bark
''Fingal,n from Dublin, the largest sailing
vessel, | am infor med, that ever came up
the river. This huge boat is waiting to be
loaded with cpal oil. when she will raise
her anchors and sail for Japan. A few
mornings ago the correspondent visited the
''Fingal, nand strolled over her deck. The
make up of a ship is fam iliar to all, but
her immense proportions was what most
impressed me-. BY counting the steps
taken in walking from stem to stern and
pacing the same distance from Humphreys
corner out East Avenue-which l have
done-placing the stern directly opposite
the corner of the store building, the bow
or cut water would extend several feet
beyond DR.. Gilman's residence. Now, if
the local reader would like to form a more
perfect idea of the gigantic size of this
beautiful iron clad craft, let him pause at
the point | have mentioned and take an
observation.

wanted the Train saved.

A preacher in a Clayton church offered
the following prayer a few mornings ago:
"Oh, Lord, we pray that the excursion
train going south on the West Jersey Rail-
road this morning may not run off the track
and kill any church members that may be
on board. Church members on Sunday ex-
cursions are not in condition to die; and,
besides this, it is embarrassing to a minis
ter to ~officiate at the funeral of a member
of the church who has been killed on a
Sunday excursion. Keep the train Oh the
track and preserve it from all calamity,
that all church members among the ex-
cu~rsionists may have an opportunity for
repentance and that their sins may be for
given, for Christ's sake"

The probabilities are that Francis
Lingo, the committed murderer OF Annie
Miller, will be granted a new trial. The
point raised by the defense that there
might have been two eolored men in the
bush lot was answered by citing evidence
to show that Lingo was fully Unidentified
bv witnesses who saw him there. And as
to the time Mrs. Miller arrived at the bush
lot, the testimony of tbs witnesses was too
indefinite for the court 10 draw satisiac-
tory conclusions. Lingo will abide in the
Jail for same months yet while public SEN
timent still continues isided on the ques-
ton as to who murdered Mrs. Annie Mil
Ter. Meetings will be held every two weeks
in this city and Philadelphia to raise funds
to defray the expenses of a new trial. Over
