Picking up a copy of the Camden
Courier a short time ago, ! noticed an ar
ticle under the caption "a Sad End" II
was an account of the tragic death of a
man named John Capeweil, OF Camden.
The particulars were in brief as follows:
Mr. Cspeweli had met with reverses, be
came dissipated and almost penniIess. and
in deep despair took an afternoon boat for
Philadelphia: went to a hotel on Arch
street for the night. and was found next
morning dead III his bed. This same John
Capeweil was a pupil in Allen FIitcraft 5
boarding school at the Hill, and never
after our school days together until | read
the report of his sad death in the Courier
had | heard a word of the hereabouts OF
John Capewell.
This morning while driving along the
street | passed a man who had just reach
ed his home, but was too drunk 10 ascend
the steps and open the door. Capewell
has gone to his death. and this unknown
man | saw yainly trying to get inside OF
his home is going, going ! fear to a trunk
ards grave. More times than ! can tell
have | heard the jealous temperance lee
turer tell his audience that the tin9e was
not far distant when the aceursed rum
traffic would be swept from Ireland. That
declaration has been made from the pulpit
and forum from the date OF the institution
of the first temperance society ever or
gauized, vet in spite OF the efforts OF the
most assiduoEs workers in the cause to
abolish the saloon, the saloon continues to
be a Gibralter more powerful to-day than
it ever has been.
schoolmate Capewell's sad end is onls
one Of the thousands who die from the
saw this morning on his doop.stoop is only
one case in the vast army of inebriates
travelling the road to an untinlely grave.
Temperance societies are still in the field
and doing W what they can. They have res
cued many from the destroyer, aud they
will save many another east down brother.
but the time is far distant when the sale OF
intoxicants as a beverage will be abolish
ed. The saloon is a power beyond CON-
putation. PANTsINBooTs.

at the start that should be sufficient.
1t hardly appears fair to us that
through the busy season, when peo-
pies wants are many and pressing,
prices should be kept up above
actual values, and then, when the
conhding ones are all supplied, to
put a lower price on goods to the
injury of those who bought early.
We would gladly make an actual
mark down sale if we could SO ar
range, but as it is our habit to mark
down to the lowest possible notch
every article We sell, there is in re-
atty no room for US to get lower.
We find, therefore, that it is
most profitable for US to put one
low price on all at the start, and
thus hold an actual value sale every
month and every day in the year.
On any article there is in the store
under the Opera House that we can
possibly shave off part of the price
we ale glad TO do it. We've had a
good and profitable season and We
don't need to count profits during
the winter months, we'll look after
them later on. Therefore, ifyou want
any clothing for yourself or your
boys and have not already supplied
your wants, or if you need any un-
derwear, hats, caps, an everyday
pair OF pants, or an every day coat,
if there is anything we can do in
the way of reduction to meet your
wants and suit your pocket-book,
we will gladly do sc. Come in and
give US a trial. Don't forget to
mention this promise to those in
charge, and our word for it you
will get honest service and full all
the-year-round-value for every dol
lar you leave with us.
Mrs. H. A. Lippincott. who has
for years occupied one of our stores
on Main street, has concluded to
transfer her business to Camden
and viii vacate the store in early
February. It is our intention to
connect it with our other stores and
fit it up at once for a ladies' and
children's shoe store, in charge of
an experienced lady. People come
to US from all quarters to get shoes.
and we want to give them better ac-
commodations and convenienccs
than we have had heretofore. We
cannot promise cheaper goods, as
prices nov by the pair are but a
trihe above wholesale cost. In the
meantime if you have any need for
shoes. rather than move any goods
we will shave every penny off the
price that we possibly can, as we
want to open our new store with an
entirely new and fresh stock OF
goods, many ofwhieh are now being
made.
