Miss ANNIE GALLIMORE gave more
than usually instructive address at the
NJ. f. Church on Thursday evening,
under the auspices of the WOman's
Foreign Missionary Society. Miss
Baltimore, while making no attempt at
fine speaking did tell those things that
were most interesting of the people and
the work among them, in Northern
India-the personal restrictions i'm
posed by cast, the poverty of the mass
of the people, the hardships and priva-
tions resulting from their superstitions,
idolatry and cast. The life of the wo-
men is most deplorable. The old re-
ligions and civilizations degrade the
sex the world over Christianity brings
to them all an uplifting and benefit
ing condition, aud the wonder is the
passiveness of women when they see the
degraded condition of their sex every
where except where the religion Of
Christ predOminates. Miss Baltimore
has been a missiouay for six years il
Iudia, and will return soon, after re-
cuperating her health.

THE heated term that has been COM
paratively unbroken for FIVE or six
weeks, it is hoped came to an end, in
both the high temperature and extreme
dFyness, with the easterly storm that
set in early Sunday morning. We
have but few summers where the
mercury has risen above 90' as often as
it has this.

LAST Wednesday was a big day at
Woodland, in fact one of the. largest
days the Beach has ever known. From
early dawn until noon teams were
pouring in from all parts of the sur
rounding country, some coming dis
tance of 20 miles or more. To use the
expression of an eye witness: Every
place along the entire fence surround
ing the grounds and every tree in the
grove had a team hitched to it. There
were four boats all of which were
loaded to their utmost capacity. The
Clyde, of Philadelphia; the Clio, of
Odessa, the Mary U. Citizens, of Dover
and a steamer from Salem, NJ, There
was estimated to be between 5000 and
5000 people on the ground that day
By o'clock everything in the way OF
drinks &c. were sold out, and we might
state the amusements reaped golden
harvest. The pleasing feature about
this vast crowd was that there was
nothing to mar the pleasure of the day
as the best of order was kept.

FRIDAY evening four persons rode
up from Dover to Smyrna. There was
nothing remarkable in this, but they
all rode in a york carriage, two of them
being women dressed in mems clothes.
A. quart of ice cream was ordered from
an ice cream saloon and was eaten in
the carriage, the women apparently
being ashamed to show themselves in
the light. They had also been drink
ing, the bad language in part disclos-
ing their sex. Officer Grant "caught
on" to the condition Of things and was
lust about to arrest the women for
being in mems attire, when they drove
of, about IL o'clock. If he bad got
them ia the lookup, there would have
been some pretty disclosures next
morning.

The absorbing thing with the young
people now seems to be base ball. It is
the talk day and night, The church,
the young peoples meeting and the
Sunday school are mostly given the
go-by, while the game field is never too
hot, and the peculiar lingo that belongs
to such exciting contests is readily ab.
sorbed by these young hopefuls. A
simple game of ball for diversion is all
right, but parents can hardly look upon
demoralizing associations and bad Ian
guage so prevalent in exciting contests
as a good thing for boys of an impress
sible age.
