SHE JUST HATED DECEIT.

SHE JUST HATED DECEIT.
''You look tired this evening"" re-
marked Mr.. Bittersweet, as his wife sank
into an easy chair. What have you
been doing today?"
ooh, Alexus, you never could guess.
You remember Minnie was married last
week.
HIN, the jeweler isn't likely to let
me forget it until the present is paid
for"
II told you at the time that she said
her white brocade gown cost IS yard,
didn't II"
II hope you don't want one like it,
of course don't. She never had any
taste, poor thing. Well, somehow I could
not believe that it really cost that much,
and you know how 1 hate to be obliged
to doubt my friends, SO just determined
to find whether she told the truth or
not"
Il don't see how"
"Of course not, dear. A man has no
idea of real diplomacy. just went over
to see Minnie and begged a bit of the
brocade; said 1 wanted it to cover the
frame to her photograph as a souvenir.
Then I went right down town, for 1 knew
what I had to do would take me some
time You will never guess what I
did"
It'll be easier to let you tell me
then"
81 went to six different shops before
succeeded in matching tt"
But what on earth"
ITO find the exact piece darling. At
last, just as was in despair, found it:
at least they said they had piece of it,
but it was in the window
$50 you asked the price?"
"No. I had to match it myself to be
perfectly sure; it was too important for
me to trust anyone else. When the peo-
pie in the shop found how disappointed
was they offered to get it out of the win
dow If I'd wait, and l did wait, though l
was nearly exhausted and l knew l
should miss Miss Graces luncheon en-
tirely"
But you surely didn't"
ooh, yes, l did. Wasn't it clever of
me? l examined the piece carefully
when it came, and oh, Alexius, it was the
very same, and the price was only $125
a yard! To think that Minnie would de-
ceive me so! Wasn't it awful?"
But what did you say to the people at
the shop for all their trouble?"
Say? Why, wasn't it funny? 1
just said yes it was the piece, but must
ask the dressmaker how much needed.
and where was the telephone? They
showed me where it was, and when
their backs were turned just slipped out
the door and came home.
"Oh, it was just awful. I've had fit
of the blues ever since, to think that
Minnie, whom l have trusted so implic-
lily, would deceive me so. But what is
the matter, Alexius; you look so queer?"
And Mr.. Bittersweet, gasping, replied
that he didn't feel very we'll and must
step outside for breath of fresh air.

GAINED THEIR POINT.

The Brooklyn women who recently pc
titioned Mayor Schieren to appoint wo-
men on tn board Of education are feeling
very good because their request has been
acceeded to. Furthermore, he has asked
these ladies to suggest several names for
appointment. The mayor gives as his rea-
sons for these proposed appointments that
he thinks women have greater intuition
for what is good for child than men
have. They understand children better
than men do and know better what child
can stand physically. He fears that the
children are overcrowded in their studies.
It Is his intention to appoint five women.

REGARDLESS OF EXPENSE

A number Of years ago, during a re-
vival of religion in a rural district, an
old-fashioned Methodist exhorter led the
meetings and for originality and excita-
bility hardly had his match. On one oc-
casion he astonished the large gathering
OF worshipers by saying in his long and
loud exhortation:
20 Lord, back up what am asking for
and come right down through the roof
I am a carpenter and will nail on the
shingles again. Judge.

country.
THE bimetallists standard Of silver
and gold has behind it the experience of
ages and has been tested and approved
by the enlightened and deliberate tudg-
ment Of mankind. The gold standard is
departure from the established policy
Of the civilized world with nothing to
commend it but % years Of depression
and disaster to the people and extraord-
mary accumulation Of wealth in tho
hands Of few.
There are some facts bearing upon this
question recognized and admitted by all
candid persons, whether advocates Of
bimetallism or Of the single gold STAN
dard. Among these Is the fact that the
very year which marks the change from
condition Of rising prices, diminished,
profits, insecurity Of Investments, unem-
ployed labor ad a heavy depression in all
branches Of trade and industry. From
the earliest period Of our history I'D to
1873. the right Of the debtor to choose
whether he should pay his debts in silver
or gold coin was always recognized. The
subsequent policy has been to transfer
this right to the creditor. thus tending to
constantly increase the value of the
dearer metal and destroy the parity be-
tween them.
The reading Of the resolution was fire.
Quently interrupted by tumultuous an
plause and they were adopted with a
hurrah without discussion.
The following resolution was also pre-
sented and adopted:
Resolved, That committee Of one
member from each state be appointed

ton whol9 duty Il shall b to correspond

ty lines, and altogether there promises to
be pretty fight if the committee on res
olutions presses the abolition of party in
the advocacy Of free silver.
The platform will, Of course, contain a
regular plank declaring for the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at Is to /, and
a plank Is now being discussed which is
in favor Of a national silver committee
to contain one member from each state
which shall advocate the cause of silver
Congressmadn H. D. Money, of Missis-
sippi, followed Senator Stewart In his
first words he repudiated the abolition Of
party lines, and he said:
Il am here silver man from the
crown of my head to the sole Of my feet
and am a Democrat all ove,.
"The gold bugs will tell you that the
silver craze, as they call It, is about over
but they will be greatly deceived If they
think so.'
John Allen, of Mississippi, followed.
Congressman Allen said In part:
This Is contest between the best
money and the best property and the
best labor and for my part prefer that
which has produced the best manhood
in this country and take my stand on
the side of the people and of labor as
against the idle holders Of idle capital
'"rhe Democratic part in its national
platform is going to declare for free sill
yer and unlimited coinage. We ask all
those who believe in free silver and are
yet not in the Democratic party to come
into the ranks. When hear people say
this country cannot do things because
other countries have failed to do them.
tell them that this country should set
the pace in all the leading questions of
the day and that 1t can do it. Shame on
the men in whose veins runs the blood
of his revolutionary ancestors who
comes here with the pitiful contempti-
bic plea that we are not able to estab-
lish our own financial policy. I am told
every day that should follow the head
of the Democratic party. believe
that there is no head bigger than the
great body Of the Democratic people,

thing and that Is when he said: I'll

OUR CITY'S GROWTH.
the Depression and the
Constant Removal From Our City
of Many Mechanics, We Are
Moving Ahead.

Bridgeton is now city of the second
class whatever advantages and Injuries
belong to the cities of this class we can
now demand; we are entitled to them, and
we want them, some of them at least.
What these advantages are is a ques-
tion that many are asking, but, at this
juncture we are not able to answer the
question. Among the things which will
not trouble us, though, is an excise board.
Many people have the notion that,
being city of the second class, an excise
board is one of the necessary blessings
which the City Council is obliged to ap-
point; this opinion, according to legal
investigation, is wrong. We have to
possess a population of $1,000, before an
excise board will have to be appointed.
Even if one had to be appointed now,
the present City Council can be depended
on to appoint non-licensing board.
The population of the city now is
1892.
The population by the census of 1890
was II, ,424, showing that the gain in five
years has been 1868.
The population by wards is:
First ward-Number of dwellings, SS7;
number of families, 923; number of white
males, 1885; white females, 1900; colored
males, ID; colored females, %; total, 1920
Number of persons over sixty years of
age, 291.
Second ward-Numbero of dwellings,, 709;
number of families, 1885, number of white
males, 14S2; white females, 1868; colored
males, l65; colored females, 159. Total,
3l74. Number over 60 years of age, 224.
Third ward-Number of dwellings, 779;
number of families, 799; number of white
| males, 1880; white females, 1873; colored
males, 116; colored females, 49, Total,
32lS. Number over 90 years of age, 33l
Fourth ward-Number of dwellings, ,674;
number of families, So; number of white
males, 1403; white females, 1908; colored
males, q; colored females, AZ. Total 29SO.
Number over 60 years of age, 262.
There are in the city 3049 dwellings,, oc-
cupied by 1888 families, an average of a
little over to each family.
The following comparative table shows
the increase by wards since the census of
| 1890.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.

Howard Shull Caught by Constable Lore.
One of the most important captures in
the criminal line, was made on Monday
by Constable Lore.
For long time Howard Shull, noted
burglar and river pirate, has been sought
after, and until Monday morning eluded
arrest. 1t is said there are no less than
twelve warrants out for him in this
county alone. The young man has
robbed many oyster beds, and whenever
an opportunity offers, strips boats of all
rigging and everything else that he can
carry away. Complaint after complaint
has been made against'him, but he man
aged to escape detection. He does this
principally by living in boat on the
water.
Some time since he robbed the store of
More Brothers, at Smyrna, Del, and
carried off much plunder. A lot of
papers he took from the safe, it will be re-
membered, were afterwards found float
ing in a pocket book in the Bay. Shull is
wanted badly for that robbery, but he
cannot be taken there until after Cumber-
land is through with him.
Prosecutor Logue has wanted this man
for some time, and recently put the case
in Constable Lore's hands. For week
or two past the Constable has been ON his
track, and Saturday night he learned Just
where he was. Monday morning at four
O'Clock, he drove down to Turkey Point,
and about So'clock Monday morning he
nailed his man, and brought him up
and he was consigned to Jail.

VIII Not he Tolerated.

All rowdyism, drunkenness and carry
ing liquor in the Tumbling Dam Park is
to be stopped. Mr.. Sylvester has so de-
creed, and what he says goes. Mr.. Syl-
vester is doing this for the protection of
the public. The people who go to the Park
are his guests, and he guarantees them a
good time, and they will have it. The
arrest and conviction of young Sooy for
drunkenness, was not pleasant thing
for Mr.. Sylvester, but it was found that
an example must be made, and Mr.. Sooy
has been stopping four days on the hill,
despite every effort of able counsel.

MAD DOGS.
A Mad Dog Killed; Some Words About Dogs
and Their Muzzles.

A Mad Dog Killed; Some Words About Dogs
and Their Muzzles.
A mad dog was killed Wednesday on
Cohansey street, in the lane by the black
smith shop of A. s. Sharp. Mr.. Sharp
killed the dog.
J. Duy Johnson ran for his gun, and
another man for revolver, but while
they were getting these deadly weapons,
Mr.. Sharp knocked the dog in the head.
The beast was about on North Laurel
street and Cohansey street yesterday, and
created quite panic biting cats and dogs.
1t seized the store cat of Geo. H. Ogden,
gave it shake and killed it. Some one
gave the dog a kick away from the cat,
but the dog took no notice of the kick
and went on it's way. 1t bit the cat of
"Podso" Wright, on Cohansey ST., and a
number of dogs on Laurel and Cohansey
streets, and also on Orange street.
Mr.. Sharp thought the dog was not
mad, but he said it was not right and
acted very queer. When it attempted to
drink water at Atkinson's livery stable,
it was seized with spasms.
A general slaughter of dogs would fol-
low now if there was dog-catcher, but,
as it is all dogs had better be ornamented
with muzzle for the protection of the
public
There is question with many as to
whether people can be compelled to muz-
zle their dogs under the State registry
law. Good, law-abiding citizens, who
have regard for the welfare of ftheir neigh
bors and the public, ought not to ques-
ton the matter, but to act upon the sug-
gestion of the Mayors proclamation and
muzzle their dogs, if they wish them to
roam the streets.
The Mayors proclamation is issued
under authority of City Ordinance No.
81, and this ordinance was passed under
authority of Section No. IS, of the statute
Concerning stray cattle, horses and
Sheep" the provisions of which are am
pie.
The law recently passed providing for
the registry of dogs does not seem to con-
f1ict with the provisions of the former
statute, but it is question unsettled
whether a city dog-catcher would have
the right to destroy an unmuzzied dog
which wore collar with its registry num-
ber upon it.
But if the unmuzzled registered dog
should go mad, or be supposed to have
rabies, and bite person, or any other
dog or animal, the owner of tie register
ed dog would have a good chance to
stand suit for damages.
To avoid all complications it is better
to buy muzzle and muzzle the dog.

EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Cumberland Bible Society Met Thursday
Afternoon and Evening.

Cumberland Bible Society Met Thursday
Afternoon and Evening.
The eightieth anniversary of the Cum
berland Bible Society was held in this
city Thursday.
A program had been arranged which
made the exercises very interesting
throughout
The services were held in the afternoon
and in the evening. The afternoon SER
vices were held in the First Presbyterian
Church and in the evening in the Central
M. E. Church.
The annual reports of the Board of
Managers, the report of the Colporteur,
Rev. j. G. Bowen, and of the Treasurer.
Charles Reeve, were read in the after
noon session.
The Treasurer's report showed a healthy
condition of the Treasury. $3.50 has been
sent to the American Bible Society, and
there is still about $500 in the treasury.
There was larger number of the
churches of the county which sent contri-
buttons to the society during the year
than ever before.
The report of the Colporteur showed
that he had visited 5000 families in the
country and had distributed 1900 Bibles.
Addresses were made by Rev. J. G.
Levengood, DR.. Mace and Rev. w. w
Motfett, District Superintendent of the
American Bible Society.
At the business meeting all the old Of
ficers were reelected. The officers are =
President, James J. Reeves; Vice Presi-
dents, Rev. r. B. Stevenson and Enoch
Hanthorn, DR.. G. G. Phillips; Secretary,J.
Lenhartt Rice; Treasurer, Charles Reeve.
The meeting in Central Church in the
evening, was well attended, and the au-
dience was interested in an illustrated
stereoptican lecture, by Rev. Henry
Mason Baum, D. c. L., in Egypt and
the Bible"
A large canvas screen was stretched
across the platform in front of the pulpit,
and the views were thrown upon it. The
pictures were very fine and beautifully
illustrated the lecture.
DR.. Baum began his lecture in the very
dim mists of the creation, which he said
| might be hundreds of thousands of years
ago. This assumption, he declared, did
no violence to the Mosaic chronology as
given in the first chapters of Genesis, for
this divided the creation of the world
into periods; these might have been
| OF thousands of years. duration, or they
| might have been of only twenty-four
hours duration.
He traced the course of events from the
Garden of Eden to Ararat, and then, by
easy stages, illustrated by stereopticon
maps, to Egypt and the Bible history.
The lecture was exceedingly interesting
and held the large audience to late hour.

AT PITMAN GROVE.
A Large Influx of Summer Residents at This
Attractive Resort.

PITMAN GROVE, N. j., June 23.-Last
evening and to-day witnessed the largest
influx of visitors and summer residents
OF any previous year at this serson. The
cottages are fast filling up and there is a
great demand for these delightful sum-
mer houses. The grove to-day had the
appearance of the regular camp and the
meetings of the Tai ernacle on Fourth
avenue were SO well attended that seats
We're placed ON the outside and many
enjoyed the services from these. All
through the day there was move about
the enclosure that gave signs of an ap-
preaching prosperous season. The resi-
dents have subscribed good sum for a
Fourth of July celebration. This, as in
other years, will include parade and
patriotic programme in the auditorium.
Besides this the exercises at Alcyon
Park, nearby, will surpass anything in
the history of the resort.
In the morning, potato, sack and boat
races will take place, while the afternoon
will be devoted entirely to bicycle races,
when $500 in gold will be distributed to
the winners. Arrangements are in prog
ress to have John Johnson give exhibi-
tions ON the track, and if his manager
allows this great rider to be before the
public on this day, the proprietors of the
park have been assured he will appear
here. Other great riders will be in at
tendance also. In the evening a magni-
ficent illumination and army scene will
be portrayed on the lake, in connection
with an extensive display of fireworks.
The Odd Fellows of South Jersey are
arranging for monster celebration at
| this park on July "A. Excursions are to
be run from all points, and it is expected
| to make it one of the largest turn-outS
that has ever been held in this section.
All the grand officers of the State will be
| in attendance, and Grand Master E. H.
| Griffith will be the orator of the day;
other prominent members of the order
will make addresses. The entire day
will be given to Odd Fellows, and bicy-
Gle races, rowing and swimming contests
and other amusements will make up the
program.
A week later the grangers of Glouces-
ter county will take possession of the
park, when thousands of farmers will
spend the one day of their busy season
together.
