candidate for u. ). Senator Oeen nlaNe
six months ago II might have oeen APP
proved by the Democracy. but "
spring IL now, after the most OF Tue
counties have already acted, Is rea''y
too transparent. When MT McGra"
made this motion at the meeting oil Tue
State Committee AZ Camden-oE-UauleY
last week, everybody instantly Hhe"
that il was in the interest OF senator
Camden. Nearly all The counties nave
taken action, and as there Would %
nothing else TO bring out the voters IL
would be an easy matter lOF MI
Camden's c0terie Of followers TO SET
up" the delegations. The state Coun-
mittee meets at Charleston on July
25th, to pass upon this question. we
beg 20 assure them that the rank ana
file In this section are utterly eppOseu
10 the proposition. 1t comes altogether
too Iato. Should the Committee insist
uDon calling a State Convention now
we are sure it would be fatty repu-
dated by the Democratic masses. Up
in this quarter they do not propose TO
have undoue what has been already
done on tbs subject. Don't harrass the
party Just as it is going into the hght
with the enemy by this unexpected
unnecessary and radical Innovation

Death of Carl We'll.

No young man i'll this city was more
highly respected than he one whose
untimely demise it becomes our pain
full duty to record. A favcrite al
school, active and reliable in business
bright future was before him. Some
mouths since he went to Philadelphia
and was in the employ Oft. E. Conrad,
druggist, at Thirteenth and Jefferson
streets, intending to enter the College
of Pharmacy this fall.
About II O'Clock, Sunday, March
25 he went to his room, prepared his
clothes for the wash, and retired. The
next morning his roommate, Paul
Zeller, discovered that he was absent.
Not finding him at his place of bus
mess, an uncle living in that city, was
notified, who in turn telegraphed Mr.
David We'll, his father, who went i'm
mediately, offered reward for his re-
covery, and with police and detectives
searched diligently for the missing
boy.
Thursday morning his body was
found in freight car in Camden, n
j., and was promptly identified by. Mr..
Wiel. There were no marks Of vio-
lence and thesupposition is that, while
in state of mental alteration, he died
from exhaustion and exposure.
Other members of the family were
notified and went to Baltimore where
the remains were inferred in the GEM
etery Of Oheb Sholom Congregation.
The sympathy for Mr. We'll Ind
family, in their sore bereavement, is
universal.

When girl wears white ribbon on hel
shoulders and lace at her throat it means
beau, or rain, but oftenest beaux.
The seth Of March was made memora-
bic by meteorological phenomena. Mum
bers of men, women, and children gath
cred in the streets intently surveying the
heavens From the horizons dark base
of mountain-like clouds extending from
West to East, rising irregularly here in
peaks, there in low narrow passages, and
again growing broad like table-lands, the
dark leaden color at their base giving
place gradually to lighter shades, and
then TO the whiteness of snow upon their
SUBMITS. Here countless columns of
lurid light arose and extended over
head, eonverging till they met, mass of
shimmering brightness. All the stars be-
hind these tapering columns were COM
pletely hidden; between them where the
deep blue of the heavens could be seen,
they appeared unusually large and shown
with an added luster, toward the north
east. while to the southwest, between
the columns, bands of color varying from
pale pink to deep crimson. formed bars
in this heavenly banner.
Now, at intervals, flashes of light more
brilliant than that composing the sta
tionary columns, meet like the simulta-
neous fire of opposing armies and fiery
waves ripple and curl as they pass over
the sky, and the cloudlike folds left where
the flashes meet resemble the smoke
diffusing slowly after the fire of these
yoiceless guns. The forces travelling
from the South, meeting those from the
North and East, fight out these grand
aerial battles, without bloodshed, while
we watchers are filled with superstitious
dread, that this heavenly display is an
omen of evil that is about to fall upon
us. In 1858, before the late war, just such |
a display was watched and caused in
tense excitement and anxiety. Filled |
with awe and reverence, we looked upon
the sublime display of Gods power, with |
emotions too deep for utterance and then |
crept away thinking, "How great are
thou, 0 God! How little is man; still I
thou art mindful of him, and the son of |
man, for thou visited him.
If this be token of war we may hope
that God and the Right will triumph just
as it did before. LOT.

Insurance of Live stock.

We often ask the question: rs your
live stock insured2'
The average owner says. yes,
against loss By fire.
Well, that is all right, there is risk
that they may be burned, and You
viii do well to protect yourself, but
do you know that it is the very small
est Of riskss
The statistics of live stock insur-
ance company, covering their bust
ness in one city for FIVE years show
that in 700 losses, were by FIRE, COS
from other causes. The risk is IS
times greater.
There is 20 times greater risk from
collie than from FIRE.
There is 5 times greater risk from
broken limbs than from FIRE.
There is S times greater risk from
lockjaw than from fire.
There is times greater risk from
Pneumonia than from FIRE.
There is 10 times greater risk from
unknown causes than fire.
Larger from heart disease and dis.
temper.
There is 9 times greater risk from
inflammation Of the bowels than from
fire.
The same risk from runaways and
only less from drowning, bind stag
gers. and lightning.
If there is necessity for FIRE insur-
ance land there isl how much greater
necessity for insurance against other
casualties to which live stock is liable.
Now, these are facts taken from ac-
tual statistics, and 'facts are stubborn
things.
