The Broad street Train Shed to
be Transferred TO Camden.
When the present train shed is re-
moved from the Broad Street Station,
to make way for the much larger span
that is to reach from Market street to
Filbert, it will be taken to Camden
and erected there in place of the pres.
ent dingy old shed of the West Jer-
sey Railroad, which is to be demol-
ished. This is part of projected i'm
provements across the Della ware,
which include also a new head house
and the extention of the ferry slips
out to the new Port Wardens' line.
An entirely new arrangement of tracks
in the West Jersey yard will be per-
fected, with 12 tracks in the station,
as at present arranged at the Broad
Street Station. This will add several
thousand feet of track room in the
yard. beside giving much better facil-
tiles for drilling and for handling the
heavy excursion business during the
summer season.

Big Days Work.

The Auditing Committee of the
Board of Freeholders had long days
session Monday and a vast amount of
work was done by the three members.
One thing that made the work all the
more important, was the 80 election
bills before the Committee. These
bills called for all sorts of sums OF
money, and the items were made up
of all sorts of things provided for and
and not provided for by law. Some of
the precincts called for 1928 and other
$170. l. was q difficult matter to
reconcile these vast differences,

Bigger Boats.

When the Delaware islands are re-
moved the ferry company proposes to
put on some larger boats at Federal.
street to accommodate the railroad
travel. They are badly needed, espee-
tally in the summer season when the
seashore travel is so great. The law
does not limit the number of passen-
gers to be carried on ferryboat and
they are jammed on until they can
no longer move up, and even then
many have to wait for the next boat.
Some of the Hudson boats will proba-
bly, be brought to Camden next sum-
mer.

THE POST OFFICES SUCCESS.
Postmaster Generals Interest
ing Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-Postmastei
General Wanamaker summarizes the
results achieved by his department az
follows: $5,00O000, added to the gross
revenue; the deficit reduced nearly
81 100000; money order Offices in
creased two-thirds, or from 10,O70 to
1869: eighty-two cities supplied with
free delivery; 2709 new offices estab-
lished; 1853 Offices advanced to the
Presidential grade; 16, 750, 900 miles OF
additional service; 1880 new mail
routes established, embracing $500
miles of new service; ocean mail SER
vice extended; and pneumatic service
introduced.
In the last four years, 5,051 new mail
outes have been established, travers-
ing 80 800 miles; the number of Post
Offices has grown by over $500, the
number of money order offices over
$500. and the number of free delivery
offices has almost doubled.
The new foreign mails contracted
for apply to eleven lines, comprising
when completed forty-one ships neces-
sary to make the service contracted
for FIRE quent enough and quick enough
to comply with the terms agreed upon.
On the one cent postage question
Mr.. Wanamaker says: ''Tbe present
letter rate pays actually double the
cost, and by this overpay serves as a
protective rate to the department. to
cover the underpay from doing an ex-
press business for periodicals and
books and carrying advertising sheets
at one cent per pound, that, in point
of fact, are nothing more than busi-
ness circulars that load the mail enor-
mously. All such mail is not only car
ried at loss of six cents pound. but
1t interferes materially with the busi-
ness of the express and railroad COM
panies, which are, properly, carriers
of heavy packages and freight"
Something to take the place of frac-
tional currency for the remittance of
small sums is very desirable. He
urges the issue of a money postal card
of denominations Of 10 cents. 25 cents.
30 cents and 81, and of the form OF
the present small card and exactly
similar to the ordinary postal card on
the address side, and on the reverse
side an order on the postmaster of the
city addressed for fixed sum payable
on the signature of the payee named
in the address.

"Cyelone Weber began his services

crowded and at night the church was
not large enough to accommodate the
people and several hundred went else
where.
The service at night was an
nouncsd to begin at 7.30, but owing
to the crowd it began at O'Clock.
The excitement was intense and
Weber seemed in his glory. His SER
mon or talk was straightforward ap-
peal to sinners and when he got to the
most interesting part of his sermon he
abruptly told the people to go home.
1t was then 8.15.
''The people were amazed and
hardly knew what to do. The Evan
gelist was the same old Weber with as
much fun in him as ever. and he was
continually popping his fun at the ex-

THE M ESSAGE.
An Able Paper frOm the Presi-
DENTS Pen.

President Harrison's last. annual
message is the ablest and most impress
sive one he has delivered. It Is laden
with facts and statistics OF great i'm
port to the American people. IT. Is
grand vindication of the faithful and
brilliant stewardship of the Republi-
can party. After tbirty-two years of
such craftsmanship, it hands over the
Government and the country to the
opposition, in a condition of matchless
and unparalleled prosperity. The
growth of our material interests du
ring this period, as given by the Presi-
dent in figures of imperial magnitude,
comprises story of almost miraculous
development. 1t is as If these prodig-
ious results had been evoked from Ma
ture by some magician's wand. That
wand was the sound and wise economic
policy of the Republican party. No
American citizen, whatever his politi-
cal affiliations, can read this story o.
marvellous National prosperity with
out experiencing a thrill of pride and
abstraction. We shall be fortunate
indeed If another generation shall see
no considerable abatement in this Ca
reer of development. Mingled with
pride In these achievements of the past
there must be felt by all thoughtful
minds serious concern for the future.
Will this wonderful prosperity that
has lasted for thirty-two years under
protection, continue under tariff for
revenue only? So far as the experience
OF the past is any guide for the future,
the emphatic answer must be, "No."
But the country is about to enter
upon practical test that will afford
more certain conclusion.
The President advises against any
tinkering of the tariff at the present
session, but thinks so grave task
should be turned over to the incoming
Administration. The message gives a
succinct account of our foreign rela-
tions, and deals with perspicuous
brevity with every interest of the Gov
ernment. Tt is clear, concise and in
teresting story of the operations of
every department, with wise and ap-
propriate suggestions and advice as to
several branches of the service and OBJ
ects of governmental concern.

Only those who have suffered, and
whose lives have been suspended in the
trembling balance between life and death,
can realize how the afflicted grasp at an
opportunity to be cured. If we cannot
move without pain, eat without suffer.
ing, and obtain rest in sleep, Of what use
is life to uss Happiness without health
is an imoossibility, and all the pleasures
of life become dim and unreal. The OBJ
ject Of life without hopes and aspirations
fades rapidly as disease reduces and death
app reaches. How many people realize
the above facts yet pay no attention to
that which undermines their health. HUI
man life is too short to be made miser-
able by diseases that are durable, and it
is in this connection we wish to say a
word concerning DR.. truth, of New York.
whose advertisement is no doubt familiar
to the readers OF the Gazette. He has,
by superior knowledge and various ex-
perience, acquired special skill in the
treatment of certain ailments that ply.
s!cians in general practice could not ex-
pect to possess. We may also add that
his dealings with the fiji cted are honest
and conscientious. but we, as is our GUS
tom. Withheld this endorsement of him
until we had good reasons to know that
he is justly entitled to all that is claimed
for him as an experienced physician and
an honorable gentleman. worthy of whats
ever confidence that may be reposed in
him. His recent visits here have been
bene flcial TO his patienIs, and we have no
hesitation in commanding him to those
who have failed to find relief from other
sources.
