The sewing society.

Last Winter the Sewing Society met
in the social room in Red Meu.s Hall, but
the room was SO large it was impossible
to warm it, when the weather was ex-
ceedingly cold. To sew with cold and
stiffened fingers is not conducive to the
best results, both as regards quality and
quantity. This season all of the sewing
will be done at the home of Miss Belle NJ.
Cheeseman. So far, during October in
the name has been a misnomer, as the
members have done no sewing at all, be-
ing fortunate enough to find all the re-
cipiate of their bounty, not only good
sewing, but willing to do it and only too
thankful to receive new garments to cut
out ready for sewing, aud old clothing
that could be re-modeled.
We do not sew for people who are able
to do it as we do not wish to foster and
encourage idleness. But there are cases
when it is necessary for the society to do
the sewing and in short time, the mem
bers will be notified that their services
are required.
Friends please send US old clothing, or
we will, if notified, send for if. We alter
and mend garments so neatly and i'm
prove them SO much, that the givers of
them would scarcely recognize them,
but they do the poor much good. Last
year we distributed two hundred and
6fty-eight garments and twenty-five
pairs of shoes, and hope to be able to
still better work during this Winter.

should NotExpose HIS Ignorance

A muddled mathematician, ofSeaview,
writes to the Atlantic City Review in
criticism of this paper because it stated
the truth in saying that Linwood was
included in the localities where certain
republican candidates ran behind the
national ticket at the late election. He
says: "There was no cutting in Lin
wood" etc. The official election
returns of Atlantic County show that
Mckinley received SO votes in the
Borough of Linwood. Gardner for
Congress received so, Jackson for
Assembly 70, Kirby for Sheriff &C, and
Ingersoll for Coroner 81, There was a
loss OF 80 votes on three candidates and
a gain of one, or republican MT loss of
20 vote s out OF S3, or a afraction less than
35 per cent of the republican ticket
''cut." Our critic should consult the
election returns before flying to the
inkstand to expose his ignorance.

10, TO congratulate him on his safe re-
turn from sea. after being overdue for
forty-two days on a passage from Sa-
bine Pass, Texas. Captain Lake seemed
to be taken completely by surprise to
see about one hundred of his friends
and neighbors come in every door of his
home at one time, and before he hardly
realized what was coming, the Pleas
antville- band began playing, which was
only to increase the surprise. The party
being too numerous to be entertained
at his home, they went to Red Mems
Hall, where all seemed to enjoy them
selves bv partaking of bountiful repast,
and being entertained with music by the
band. Captain Lake says he feels high
ly honored by the kind reception given
him. and says he hopes all enjoyed the
surprise as much as he did.

DEMOCRATS DISAGREE
Disgraeeful Row in the Halls
of Congress.
CONGRESSMAN HALL AND MONEY
Come to Blows over a Very Trihing
Matter-Ioney Was Severely
wounded.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Congressman
Money, a Democrat from Mississippi,
and senator-elect from that state, and
Congressman Hall, a Democrat from
Missouri, had a personal encounter in
the committee, on naval affairs to-
day.
Tom Coakley, a messenger, standing
at the door, heard Hall say: "I'll allow
no man to call me liar" With these
words he planted his fist in Moneys
face.
Before Money, who is no match, ply
sically, for Hall, could recover himself,
it at Money. 1t struck him behind the
ear, cutting an ugly cash, and Money
fell back against the wall.
At this juncture Coakley crowded be-
tween them and prevented further on
slaught. Hall was, with difficulty re-
strained.
Money, faint from the loss of blood,
which was streaming down his neck,
was hurriedly taken to the committee
room on the floor below, while Hall
walked calmly along the corridor to the
hall of the house.
A crowd congregated and there was
much excitement. Hall, when seen i'm
mediately after the fight, said he did
not desire to make statement. SIT
was personal matter" said he, "and
do not desire to say anything. I do not
suppose Money either will care to make
a statement"
Money had two cuts, one just back oi
the ear, about an inch long, the other
further down his neck.
Money said. he did not desire to make
a statement.
An eyewitness of the occurrence gave
the following version of the difficulty
"Money was in the room looking over
his mail when Hall entered and began q
discussion of the bill before the commit
tee, relating to the rank of naval sur
geons. Money made the statement that
the surgeons were after both rank and
command. No. he added, smilingly.
Il take that back, not command, but
rank ANY man who says that,' said
Hall, angrily, says what is not true
'You are a damned liar, 'iretorted Money,
rising from his chair. Hall grabbed an
inkwell and hurled it at him. The blow
behind the ear staggered him. Hall did
not hit him with his fist. Money,
though staggered, also clutched an ink
well and let it drive at Halls head. The
Missourian lodged, and the missile
struck the wall opposite. Had it struck
Hall 1 believe it would have Drained
him. The two men then made for each
other. Both made motion as if to
draw weapons. Wilson, of New York, q
member of the naval committee, who
was present, with the messenger and
clerk, rushed between the men and pre-
vented further trouble"
There were in the committee.room
besides the two combatants, Commodore
Fithian and Representatives Meyer and
Wilson, members of the committee.

Understanding Between United States
and Spain.

Understanding Between United States
and Spain.
New YORK, April 23.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The report that an understanding is
about to be reached between Spain and
the United States in regard to Cuba is
favorably received in financial and COM
mercial circles, without stopping to in
quire whether the welcome news is true
or not. According to the current story
the Spanish government, is to grant to
Cuba, very soon, home rule on much
broader scale than contemplated in the
bills which have so far passed the cortes,
and this concession is to be supplement-
ed by tariff reforms and treaty of re-
ciprocity to develop the trade between
the United States and the Spanish West
Indies.
The Liberal says: s'TEe Spanish
mothers, whose 10000 sons are about
to be exposed to the deadly climate of
Cuba during the rainy season, the Span
ish Taxpayers who apprehend the con-
sequences of the heavy cost of pro-.
longed civil war, and, indeed, the whole
nation at heart would gladly welcome
pacifcation of Cuba by an early, sincere
concession of reforms now admitted by
almost all Spanish politicians to be urg-
ent and inevitable" ,"
1t is obviously the prevalent impress
sion in many classes that the best course
for Spain to pursue is to bow to the pres
sure of circumstances ere it is too late,
and do with good grace what possibly
may yet avert Cuban independence, as
procrastination and misguided postpone
ment of tardy concessions may lead to a
conflict with America. On the other
hand. directly the jingo papers perceive
the drift of public opinion they again
start an anti American campaign.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra

every means to obtain showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor OF Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows !:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. 1t does not belong to the
list of nostrums. 1t is here on its
merits.''
