The failure of the Worlds Fair Sunday
opening has filed the Continental Sab
bath" people with chagrin, because it
proved that the American people are by a
large majority firm believers in the Amer
lean Sunday and that the poor working
men are largely in the ranks of the latter.
These desecrators of the Sabbath, proba-
bly, with view of showing their consis-
tency in advocating Sunday opening for
the benefit of the workingmen, are now
calling upon the directory to make one
day a halffare day for the convenience
of the laboring people. In that call we'll

1t would not cost the Fair the loss of a

who have half.holiday on that day

The Moorestown Republican says: Con-
siderable fault is found with the trustees
of the Mount Holly public school for
the way in which they awarded the con-
tract for the new school house. "The
fault is found" presumably, because a
Moorestown contractor. who bid under
the successful man, was not given the
Job. All the fault that IS being found
is outside of the town. The residents
of Mount Holly, who pay the taxes and
foot the bill. are perfectly satisfied that a
purely "home job" has been given to
home contractor, even If it does cost a
little more.

have any idea of the penalty imposed
for retaining letters or papers that come
through the mail addressed to others
Very few. To get such letter and hold
it. merely because the holder does not
feel like taking the trouble to return it
to the post Office, seems small matter,
but in reality it is a grave offence. For
opening letter addressed to another is
punishable by heavy fine or imprison-
ment, or both.

the towns folk.
Rev. Joel Vigus will preach a
Christmas sermon tomorrow evening
to which everybody is cordially invi-
ted. We do not know the theme up
on which his treatise will be based,
but Judging by his paramount ability
displayed on numerous previous oc-
%casions we would recommend that
everybody in town attend this edify-
ing service, the opening event OF hol-
iday week.
Soon after the above service is
closed the anxious youth of the com

On Christmas day "A short service
will be held by the Episcopals in A.
O. U. w. hall at II o'clock a. m.
On Christmas night two well-laden
trees will be unveiled, one at the
Catholic church and one at the Meth
odist.
The leading ladies of the former
church have lately directed their at
t%ention toward the preparation Of an
entertainment to be given in connec-
ton with the tree Monday night.
The program will consist of speeches,
dialogues and music, both vocal and
instrumental, and promises to be full
of interest. Liberal offerings have
been made to the Xmas fund of this
church, and an deliberately furnished
tree will greet the eyes of all those
so happy as to be present.
The Methodists also propose to
give a somewhat elaborate entertain
ment, to which the committee first
proposed to attach a small admission
fee for adults; but this plan has been
reversed and supplanted by that
broader, more magnanimous one,
!, which gives the full enjoyment of
the evening free to all who come.
The entertainment will consist of va
rious instrumental exhibitions, in
which the clarionet, violin, c%ornet,
guitar, and organ will participate at
various times and in a variety of COM
binations. The choir and Sunday
school will supply vocal music, sew

ed for the occasion. What with ioI-
