A BLACK CRIME.

Sad indeed. is the cruel fate that
overlook Miss Blanche Lamont. the
details of which have been filling the
daily papers of late. Wherever black
crime is hated and sweet maidenliness
adored in all this broad land of ours
there will be shuddering and sorrow as
the weird. CHASTITY tale is told. OF
monstrous mein and satanic spirit
must have been the fiend incarnate who
blotted out this fair young life, and
hundreds of the flower of MOntana's
manhood yearn to add to the t%orturous
end of him who did it.
Blanche Lamont was personally
known to the writer and to many who
read this modest tribute to hervirtues.
She was one of Montlna's fairest
daughters. beautiful in mind and per-
son. and nature had endowed her with
talents possessed by few. Her sunny
disposition helped to brighten the
desolation of a home made dark and
dreary by the death of Il husband and
father a few years ago. and her sweet
m~aidenliness was just budding into a
womanhood of glorious promise, when
the ruthless hand Of a hell-thing Gu,
her down.
We IAN only hope that her murderer
will be hunted down and swift ven,
geance melted out to him as he sorichlN
deserves.

One Woman's Work.

who having little yet hath ALL"
A narrow sphere! How can you call it so?
Three pairs of baby eyes look up in mine
And seem the gates through which a light
divine
Transfgures all my life with tenderest glow,
Because l cannot paint with artist skill
II, changing colorS of the sea or sky;
Ee"JEs> l cannot write of visions high
Ana move YOU all with pain or joy at will;
Because to earnings shrine no gifts l bring,
Nor take a foremost stand for woman's cause:
Because l trust unquestioning the laws
That bring us snow in winter. birds in spring,
You think my life is circumscribed and cold
In what should make it helpful, rich and
strong.
All, friend! these happy days are none too
long
For all the loving duties that they hold.
Nor has the art you love been all Cenied,
For lovcliest pictures every day l see
In childhood's careless grace and movements
free,
From waking morn till dreamy evcntide.
Ny Edith's braids, now brown, now golden
bright.
lmprison tints no artists brush has known.
The baby's deep blue eyes that meet my own
In living beauty mock all painted light.
Nor co you know, my friend, the critics bold
We story tellers i'll the children find
What store of wisdom and Of wit combined
We need to point a moral new or old.
And in reforms are We not learning later
A still. small voice need not be all in vain.
These childish hands may bring the greater
gain
If l am willing now to simply wait.
And what in science CT philosophy
Can pass in interest the baby heart,
Seeking in untried ways to take its part
For good or i'll in life's great mystery?
God help US mothers all to live Alright,
And may our homes all truth and love Unfold,
Since life for us no loftier aims can hold
Than leading little children in the light.

The hot weather of the past week has
given an impetus to sea shore travel be.
You'd anything known for years. The
following statements of last Saturdays
passenger traffic on the Penna. system,
gives not more than half the traffic.
The West Jersey Railroad Company
on Saturday sent down to Atlantic City
l9S cars, and to Cape May and other
resorts OIL the South Jersey coast Al
cars were despatched. On Sunday the
same company sent down 1913 car loads
to Atlantic City, and to Cape May and
other points 49 ears were used. OF the
above sent to Atlantic City, 80 cars
composed ar excursion from the Schuyl-

FRUIT N TRUCK.

The Ledger on Thursday gave a sur
vey of peach and early truck crop and
the state of the market. 1t stated the
Delaware peninsula peach crop has
been 0verestimated and the orchards
are yielding only half a crop. Some
orchards have no fruit while others
have a big yield. On an average, l3O
OF. lao cars are shipped daily and the
crop is now estimated at 1900 carloads.
A special fast freight train is run daily
to Boston and New England towns and
another to Jersey City. Philadelphia
takes from 80 to 40 carloads q day now
in the heighth Of the season. A car
will hold on al average 700 baskets.
Most of the peaches are shipped by cars
but boats carry many from Milford,
Frederick, Dover, Smyrna and Milton.
The prices are good, ranging from AZ
cents to 81 a basket, which Is very prof
liable, and there has been no fear Of the
fruit paying the freight as in years past.
When the price gets down 10 10 and 10
cents a basket the brandy distillerles,
canning factories and e%vaporators begin
to use many but the prospect is that
the price will not be lower this year
than 1t has been, as there is no prospect
Of there being q glut. The Georgia
peach was not cheap at all this year,
notwithstanding 1t was twice as large
as ever before.
Peach growing In Georgia has taken
such q stride in the past three years
That 1t is predicted 1t will be the peach
centre OF the East at no very distant
day: The Georgia peach is equal in
quality to the California and Peninsula
peach but the latter will hold its repu'
tation In the East. The trouble is the
freight Is so expensive on the Georgia
crop. 1t Is only q journey of from 10
TO ~ hours to the Georgia peach belt
but 1t costs $275 q car and 800 for the
refrigerator to bring peacher from
Georgia and an extra cost Of 80 to 90
cents q crate has to be added before
there is any profit. Until within the
past Two years all of Georgia's crop was
eVaporated, but the fast freight lines
have brought them north in large
quantities.
The fruit market Is 30 monopolized
Dy peaches that Southern melons, nor
even Jersey melons are bringing much.
IL costs $l25 q car to bring them North
and they have not been realizing freight
Many melons have been shipped from
North Carolina In schooners, 5000 to
5000 In a cargo.
There Is q glut Of Jersey produce 10

ments invite and our offerings
do not disappoint. Small,
meagre and inconsequent lots
Of goods are not advertised.
When quantities are likely to
be disappointing we tell you.
If then you seek and fail to
find, it is because you took the
risk, and nobody is to blame.
Herein is the secret of the
great August success. The
Furniture Trade Sale opened
on the first of the month with
its vast stock Of $4,000 The
other stocks yield up their at.

Since 1878 there have been nine epidem-
les Of dysentery in different parts of the
country in which Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy was used
with perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous
as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best
efforts of the most skilled physicians have
failed to check its ravages, this remedy,
however, has cured the most malignant
cases, both of children and adults, and un-
der the most trying conditions, which proves
it to be the best medicine in the world for
bowel complaints. For sale at Robbins
