look so shabby. 1 don't see how | am
going to get through the winter without
at least one new one, and where the
money is to come from I am sure
can't see."
why do you use carpets, anyhow
queried the thrifty friend.
What am 1 to do-use the floors
bare?'
mo, my dear. stain your floors and use
rugs was the answer in an aggravat-
ingiy superior tone.
Il like that" retorted the little house
mother. Commend me to my friend for
good practical advice. You are like the
queen who, when the people had no
bread asked why they did not eat cake.
Here l AVE been bemoaning my lack
of money to purchase carpets and you
tell me to buy rugs, which surely re-
quire much more money than carpets"
"You are much mistaken. dear, about
the cost of rugs" was the mild reply
''You can get them of all prices. and at
the auction stores you can often pick up
beauties for a small sum. Now, don't
say that only rich folks can indulge in
such things. for 1 W. never used any

THE STORY OF HER RUGS.
What the thrifty friend said to the
housekeeper might be useful to other
-housekeepers who are now in. throes OF
agony over the usual Autumn problem OF
fresh carpets. We tell it in u own
words.
When she was first married she and
her husband went to housekeeping on q
very modest sum. The furnishing of the
little home was quite a puzzle and the
question of carpets no inconslderaole
element of their problem.
Two or three beautiful Turkish rugs
had been among the bridal gifts sent by
a friend living in Turkey. These gave
the new houskeeper her happy thought
she straightway stained all the floors OF
her little home a dark brown. The beau
tiful rugs were used in her library
sitting room and bed room. She bought
a few yards of ingram carpet at about
80 cents a yard, and made a square foi
the dining room.
The excellence of this rug arrangement
has a threefold nature. First, 1t Is gooo
aestheticaIly, the pretty rugs on lhe
glossy. dark floor being most attractive
second, it is excellent from a SANITARY
point of view. Rugs can be easily taker
10 and shaken and the floors thoroughly
wiped at frequent intervals, thus lessen;
ing the chanc of germ visitors ane
many other dangers which science warns
us Of. Third, it is decidedly economical
The rugs in the house we have beer
speaking of were taken up and foldeo

though the young couple v long age
secured wealth and a more p~retentious
home, they still have on their floors

boast of carpets lasting so long in good

Chance TO Dress 1T FaneifulIy.
If we have pretended a little wisdom
and moderation about our shoes of late,
we are promptly to give up all that, for
a characteristic of the period fashion is
about to reproduce is extreme fanc1ful-
ness of %footgear. and the high heels and
beloved and rosetted insteps OF the
court of Louis XVI are, of course, to be
accepted with the rest of it's frivolities.
Satin shoes with high curved heels and
tiny pointed toes will be worn to match
the gown selected, and just on or below
the instep. SO lifted into prominence, Will
rest an enormous r~osette, making the
foot seem, indeed. only a little peeping
toe below the mSuntain of inStep.
The fancy for red heels will be revived,
and the long accepted low shoe or Ok
ford will nave no place for dressy pur-
poses. Instead, the slipper, cut high at
the sides n with loose. high, rounded
tongue piece in front to lie over the
instep will be worn, and the old~-fashion-
ed buckles lately wasted" If may say
so, on belts, will come back to their
places on the bows and r~osettes of the
Slipper. The little slipper, cut low and
fitting without ornament and like a
glove, will positively have to be put away
for a change of fashion. For all of our
slippers now will seem bulky, slender

VINELAND, Oct. 80, 1s95.-When it be-
came noised about yesterday morning that
Erving Keller aud his bride, Miss Leavitt,
who were married Monday night, were go
ing to leave Vineland in the morning by the
early train their young friends decided to
give them a send-off with a shower of rice
and old shoes. The arrangements We're made
as quietly as possible, and early in the morn
ing there assembled before the dry goods
establishment of Leavitt & S~herburne all the
clerks and a large number of the young
swells of the town. Along the sidewalk were
piled buckets of rice and such a collection of
shoes as would make a rag man stare.
| THE CROWDS VAIN WAIT.
When the bride and groom descended to
the street entrance of the building and be
held the crowd, which had been swelled by
spectators who stopped to see the fun, they
jumped back in horror. and, slamming the
door, retreated into the building. Outside
the crowd awaited. shouting. themselves
hoarse. But the groom was equally deter
mined that they should not accomplish their
purpose. As the building had no back exit
except by the store, he secretly secured a
ladder and together he and hls bride de-
scended to the ground in the back yard, Inc
after finding their way over fences and
through alleys to another street, e to a
livery stable and hired a fleet horse.
THE SCHEME WORKED WELL.
When it became known that the happy
couple had left town the disappointment of
the crowd was great. Finally someone sug-
gested that they had gone to Newfield to
board the moor train which would soon
nass through Vineland. Then there was a
~scampering to the depot, and a large crowd
boarded the train to meet the couple at
Newfield, five miles north of here. When
they arrived at Newfield, and failed to find
the couple, their chagrin was great, and a
sorry crowd returned to Vineland on the
evening that the couple had driven to
Bridgeton, twelve miles, and passed through
Vineland that evening for New York on the
JERSEY Central Railroad.

Republican Economy in Actual
Figures.

BY way of finishing touch to their cam
paign, the Republican leaders are begin
ming to trumpet out the announcement
that by the Appropriation bill which goes
into effect on straightforward day-the
sum of $1,000 is saved to the State.
In matters of this sort, hind sight is
far more accurate than foresight. We
shall know more about that economy
twelve months from Friday, when, no
doubt, it will cut an important figure
in another campaign.
For the present, it is useless to indulge
in vague speculation. All we can do is
compare the total appropriations made by
the bill with the total expenditures of
previous years, as shown by the State
Comptrollers' reports. This leads to the
following notable results

says

nate that our New County Road is a

mits the name, Hudson County Boule-

The Newark Advertiser completely
lost its head on Monday, and came out
with an attack upon Chancellor MeGii
in a strain of yirulence, which. we be-
lieve, would justly subject it to the
penalties either of libel or contempt of
court, if the Chancellor's. position were
not so peculiar as to rob him of the
ordinary recourses of men who are in
jured by deliberate and wanton malice.
The Advertiser went to the length of
charging that the Chancellor was nomi-
mated in order thai he might compel an
unwilling support through abuse of the
powers of his Office.
There is something so dastardly in this
vile i~nsinuation that we believe even Re-
cency viii revolt against it. Perhaps the
obscene mob to whom Lebkuecher has
turned over the Newark city government
may gloat over malice of this sort; but
the ranks of Newark Republicanism en-
brace many high-minded gentlemen, and
we are convinced that the scurrility of
the Advertiser will be effective only
to disgust and repel such men. This is
especially true of the members of the
Bar, who know above all others the
purity of Chancellor McGill's administra-
ton of justice, and the total disinter-
estedness of all his motives. This time.
assuredly, the Advertiser has over
reached itself. It has played the role of
Burchard, and the penalty which it has
earned will fall upon its party.
The outburs of impotent, malice is an
instructive indication of the drift of
events. The paper that resorts to such
methods must be in the agonies of des-
peration. The utterance entirely bears
that the Republican party must be in
desperate straits in Essex. 1t is, and not
only in Essex but in all the Republican
strongholds. Passaic county has gone to
pieces, and Camden, as our special cor
respondents report in another part OF
this paper shows, is very weak. These
are the counties that Griggs relied upon
for his election, and he and his hackers
find they have been leaning on three
broken reeds. This is the cause of the
frantic ebullition of malice.
The Evening Journal of his city is
also in a panicky condition. Yesterday it
ever appeared in a newspaper. 1t was
headed thus

HIS WATCH ON THE ALTAR
A Delegate to the Jersey Bap-
: fist Convention Subseribes
to a Fund.
spceicz to The Jcrseu cftu Naars.

CAMDEN, Oct. 80, 1894 dramatic
| scene closed the afternoon session of the New
Jersey Baptist State Convention in the
North Church, this city, Monday. A project
which has been preached for years, but
which never reached a starting point, was
launched. It is a plan to raise a permanent
fund of S25, 900 to aid needy congregations
in building edifices, and the delegates were
urged to subscribe to the fund, their sub
scriptions to be. fixed sums to be paid annu-
ally for five years. Treasurer F. w. Aver
had received a large number of these sub
scriptions and the fund had risen quickly to
$4,000. where it Jagged for u few minutes.
Suddenly there arose in the audience Thomas
Burrows, a storekeeper in Keyport, who ex=
claimed
UNABLE TO SUBSCRIBE,
ssBrethren, I cannot make a subscription
to this fund. I cannot spare the money; but
here's my gold watch and chain; Tl lay
them ON the altar for the cause"
Instantly there was a loud clapping of
hands and a buzz of excitement. Several of
the delegates jumped up hastily and offered
to subscribe enough additional to lave Mr..
Burrows timepiece returned to him.
ssNol mop cried Mr.. Burrows; II give it
freely and willingly, and l do not want it
returned"
That brought forth more applause, and the
fund grew with amazing rapidity, There
was talk last night of having the watch and
chain sold at auction for the benefit of the
fund.
DELEGATES PRESENT.
The associations sessions began with near
ly 800 delegates present from all parts of the
State. President Samuel Colgate sent his
resignation, and j. g. Buchanan was chosen
| to preside. Treasurer Aver reported receipts
of S10,65S and expenditures of S9.52S, and
the convention was notified that John d.
Rockefeller, of New York, would continue
his 81, 200 yearly contribution. William w.
Sherman, of Massachusetts, had donated a
farm of Is acres near Barnegat, N. j., to be
sold for the associations benefit. During the
past five years sixty new churches have been
built and four rebuilt, with forty-ive new
| organizations. In that time the membership
OF the State increased from $500 to $4,000.
| Five years ago the income was but 50, 639. 20,
and this year it amounts to $10,625. ~. At
the close of. the business session the Rev. E.
I. Tomlinson, of Elizabeth. preached the an
nual sermon.
In the afternoon the Women's Missionary
Society held its session. In the evening there
was a young peoples rally, led by Jarvis A.
Wood, of Merchantville. Addresses were
made by the Rev. Cortland Myers, of Brook
lyn, N. Y, and A. C. Dixon, also Of Brook
lVn.
