SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. HANN

The sincere sympathy of this entire
community goes out to the grief.
stricken young West Jersey Express
Co.'s agent, Howard Ham, who's 9
wife Friday expired after an illness
OF but three days The sad and un-
timely death occurred Friday after
noon about four O'Clock, at the once
happy home on Walnut street.
II was Tuesday evening when Mrs.
Hsnn was stricken with terrible paine,
and skilled physicians were called. 1t
developed that the young lady YVES
suffering from an internal trouble, first
caused by the rupture Of blood YES
sci. The mslady so advanced that the
consulting physicians decided Il neces-
sary to have an operation performed,
and an eminent surgeon, of Philadel-
phia, was called. An operation, ex-
tremely delicate in nature, was yester-
day afternoon performed. but the
young wife did not recover from its
effects, and death claimed her.
The death Is wonderfully sad. Mr..
and Mrs. Ham were married four
years ago next Monday. Their domes-
tic life has been extremely happy, and
the young wife had everything to live
fora handsome home, loving hus.
band, and hosts of admiripg friends.

saddened home. On Tuesday, in full
health and spirits, preparations In pr O.
gress for special household duties next
day, the malady came, and despite the
best efforts of skilled men of medicine,
death conquered.
Mrs. Ham was the youngest daugh-
ter of Solomon Overdorf, and was just
In the bloom of lite. Once had she be-
come mother, but the little one had
been taken from her, preceding her to
that great unknown beyond. She
was, and for years had been a most
faithful member of the Commerce St.

times performed valued services.
Tho news of the sad death came as 6
severe shock to her many friends,
some of whom did not know that she
had been III, and the vacancy her
death will cause in the circle will al.
ways be missed. The bereaved
friends turn toward the sorrowing
husband, and urge him to bear up ur-
der the blow, and live in the memory
of her as she was when here, with the
hope of that future eternal meeting,
which she will look forward to On the

HOW 1T REALLY WORKS.
Fhe Wilson Tariff Gives fke For.
efgn Manufacturer the Chance
to Raise Prices.

Free trade does not always reduce
the price of an article. Here Is an ex.
ample or two:
Charles F. Dive & G.. purchased a
large stock Of J,seth elliott school
pens for II e use OF tn schoos. The
WI son tar Fl law educes the ts riff on
tnese pens say p p-t g MT, yet when
Nessrs. Dare 6 O.. bought them of
the importer they found they were
obliged to pay the same price as be-
fore, and they asked The importer for
au explanation. The importer In.
formed them hat ne manufs cturer
of those pens In England had advanced
the price tie exact amount OF the tar
if reduc ior; 10 the tariff reduction
OF 20 per cent or whatever 1t was,
made by the Wilson bill WAS the Eng.
lishman's addition al profit.
P. H. Goldsmith s. Co. have lust
purchased an invoice of imported kid
gloves with exactly the same result.
When their importer was asked why
they could not be put at the old price
less the tariff rede~tion, they were in
formed that the foreign manufacturer
had added the tariff reduction to the
price of his goods, thus raising the
price by that amount. The foreign
manufacturers say, as a reason, that
under the Mckinley tariff they could
not make anything on their goods,
but the Wilson tariff gave them the
chance to increase the price of their
goods so as to make pre- fit, and they
intended to do so.
We will all have to stop buying for
eign goods.
