IT is still impossible for vessels to
get in or out of the Mispillion's
mouth. The engineers in charge OF
the work have succeeded in closing
the river to navigation as success
fully as if they had been instructed
to do this very thing. The old chan
mel where there was ten or more feet
of water is entirely closed up with
piling and stone and the new outlet
has but two and a-half feet of water
at high tide. A party irresponsible
gentlemen who are interested made
it their business a few days ago to
measure the depth of water and no
where could they get more than
thirty inches of depth. The second
appropriation has been expended
and the mouth of the river is COM
pletely closed AS far as navigation is
concerned. Those interested pro-
pose to sift this thing to the bottom
and put the blame where it Justly
belongs. For this purpose a meet
ing was called for Wednesday night.

WOMEN'S WRAPS

There is just one best col
lection of Women's Cloth,
Plush and Fur Garments in
Philadelphia-and that is at
Wanamaker's.
Why? Because being I'M
hampered by manufacturing,
our buyers have for years
traversed the world to estab-
fish supply points and to keep
us in closest touch with Paris,
Berlin and London.
And the business has grown
under such care until it is I'M
rivaled in America. That
helps us to give you best
prices on regular goods. And
it makes Wanamaker's the
one output available for lots
that would otherwise demon
alize the markets. Such gath
ering is often at half current
prices.

is tho Drink Habit Dying Out

A close observer will find in the
signs of the times many things going
to show that the habit Of drinking
Intoxicating liquor in this country j:
on the decrease. One impressive
sign afforded by this city is the great
number of saloon keepers who ask
permission of the court to transfer
their business. They assign various
reasons, but the most common one is
illness, and it is doubtless the most
correct one. They are sick-sick Of
a business which they have not found
profitable.
Yet in this city, under the opera
tion of the high license law, there is
only one saloon to 84l of the city
population,a very low proportion as
compared with many other cities,
where it is one to 800 or 500. In
New York the proportion is one sa-
loon to 234 people, and there The
proposition is made to reduce the
number of drinking places by one
half. New York salOon-keepers are
complaining even more loudly than
those of Philadelphia that their bus
mess does not pay although they are
burdened by no high license, and the
foreign population of that city drinks
a great deal more per head than the
native population of Philadelphia.
Even there, however, it is felt that
so many liquor sellers ruin the bust
ness. Not all of them can make a
living and only few can acquire a
competence.
tits only a natural deduction from
other facts that the drink habit is
falling of. One of these is the COM
mon practice of railroads and other
corporations to require not merely
temperance, but total abstinence on
the part of their employees. This at
once withdraws from the saloons the
patronage of a large body of men,
most OF them young men, who are
the best patrons of such places when
they patronize them at all. The
Christian Endeavor movement, which
has had such wonderful success in
gathering young men to its banner,
is another potent enemy of drink,
and withholds from the saloons many
thousands yearly.
Still another adverse influence is
that of society There is plenty of
drinking done in society; and society
smiles on it; but all the same, when
a mans character is under discus
sion in society, the admission that
"he drinks a little now and then" al
ways counts against him. That is
really the meaning of the screened
doors and frosted windows of the sa-
looms; it is not reputable for man
to be seen drinking, and this consid
Grafton has its influence in restrain
ing the habit.
1t is tolerably plain, then, that the
use Of intoxicating liquor is on the
waue. 1t will be long time before
it will cease entirely, if it ever does;
but each succeeding generation is
soberer than the one before it. In
time, perhaps in comparatively
few years, drink will become the dis
sipation of the few instead of,as now,
the vice of the many.-Piitadelphia
