tire floor Of the auditorium is carpeted
with ingram carpet of the same color. The
pulpit is raised about four feet from the
floor, and at the rear between it and the
choir. is a pool and fountain surrounded
by palms. The building is lighted through
out with electricity with the privilege of
adding gas if needed. There is nothing
particularly rich about the architecture or
the furniture, but there is a grandeur
about it all that is very pleasing.
There is also connected with the Temple
what is called the Temple college, an asso-
citation occupying the old Grace church
where a full college course of study may
be taken without any expense for tuition.
This of itself is a praiseworthy pit.
but in addition to it all there is also a
movement to establish a new hospital in
the northwestern part of the city. So when
we take all into consideration there is
much to make the temple the attractive
place it is, and 10 one visiting the city
should leave without seeing this church.

An Editors Experiences.

To learn what curious things a man may
sometimes run across, the newspaper busl-
ness affords about the the best opportunity
of any we know of. As a case in point, our
office was visited last Saturday by an indi-
vidual from Swedesboro, who was boiling
with wrath, because the MONITOR in it's
issue Of July 18th, mentioned the fact that
Fenwick Post and the Swedesboro Post OF
the G. A. r. would unite in an excursion
to Atlantic City. The editor did not hap
pen to be in, and upon the foreman OF the
composing room, who was in no way re-
sponsible for the item, our windy visitor
vented his wrath in language more forcible
than elegant, with diverse and sundry
%pugnacious demonstrations, and then and
there paid up his subscription to the
MONITOR [by which the MONITOR is so
much ln) and stopped the paper. That
is he ordered the paper discontinued to
his address-the MONITOR still lives and
goes to press every Friday.
1t appears that the cause OF his ire was
that Fenwick post is composed OF colored
citizens and ~ex-soldiers, probably as
good soldiers in the service as
those of any white post, and he objected,
(whether ON his own account, or as repre-
senting. the sentiment of Swedesboro Post
does not fully appear to the fact of the
two posts giving an excursion together
being made public, notwithstanding the
truth of our statement was not questioned.
Ii this individual is a fair sample OF
Swedesboro post, we feel that an apology
is due from us to the members of Fenwick
Post for having mentioned them the same
day it'll their Swedesboro confreres. III
he is not. then VIZ think hat the sooner
Swedesboro post parts company with their
self constituted champion and exponent,
the more it will be to their credit.

Rev. ri r. Hicks prophecy for August
is as follows: Atmospheric ard electrical
disturbance during tie closing days of
July will have subsidized, leaving the weather
fair and moderate during the opening days
of August. A storm period is central on the
4th, calling for rising temperature about
the Sd, which will grow in intensity until
the heat is modified by the passage of
northw esterly storms on the 4tb, 9Th and
9th. The new moor on the fourth will tend
to ~precipitate tie disturbances within
thirty-six hours of noon on that date,
increasing any earthquake tendencies other.
wise existing. Normally, freshei, cooler
air should follow until we approach the
10th, which with the nth call fer very
| high temperature with re%actionary storms,
reaching eastern sections into the 18th.
Lower temperature should follow.
The 10Th is the central day Of the next
| storm period. Five days is about the aver
age life of a storm period, The temperature
always rising and Tie wind currents shift
ing to easterly and southerly during the
first half of the period. By tie central
day storm conditions, as a rule, are ripe in
the west, and during the last half of the
period they move across this continent to
the east. Low temperatures AID high
barometers break down in front OF adyane-
ing storms, and follow in the reverse order
in the rear. Storms, therefore, with very
Ligh temperature may be looked for from
about August 10Th to 18th. After this,
coo.er days and nights will follow to 20th
on which date, and the 2lst, reaetionaTy
temperature and storms will appear.
| Cooler 10 about the 28th.
The last storm period for August is from
the 25th to the goth. The 9th is the cen.
trail day. Many parts suffering with heat
and drought may look for partial relief
through the disturbances at this period.
The month will end with a fair, bright
day ard cool night.
July has not brought as severe general
heat and drought as VIC expected, but very
serious complaints are reaching us from
numerous extremes. Many parts of ouI
country have been graeiously favored. but
by the end of August all will feel the
drought and heat that have brought many
parts of theeastern hemisphere to the verge
Of famine and want.

Mr.. KnIsore's Purchases.

The Hunterdon County Democrat of
Tuesday contains the following:
At the closing out sale of William Diss-
toms Pleasant Valley Stock Farm. at
Woodstown, n. j., the past week, A. Kill
gore purchased the two-year-old stallion
colt Tuscor, 114S6, sired by Bentoneer. dam
Minnesota by Belmont, paying for him $500,
the highest price paid for any animal sold.
He is pronounced by horsemen who have
seen him, to be the finest two-year-old in
the State and will doubtless make a yalua-
BILE addition to the stud at Meadow Park.
Mr.. Killgore also purchased at this sale the
six-year-old gelding Straightline. He is
doubtless the largest trotting-bred horse in
the country, being eighteen hands high, and
able to beat $50. He is expected to arrive
to-day and will be well worth goirg to see.
