Don't miss next Wednesdays game.
Lack of practice is very evident in the
games nowadays.
Then PeDnsgrove club are expected
to play here to morrow.
The Philles are booked TO play at
Salem on Tuesday, Sept 8Gh.
The Baileytown Giants defeated a
picked nine from that place yesterd ay by
score of "a to Is.
The home club is credited with seven
teen errors in Wednesdays game, and
yet Swedes5oro couldn't win.
Phifer had five strike outs in the Fl rst
two innings on Wednesday-t.o 10 the
first and three in the second
The S~edesboro boys will be here on
"Wednesday to play that tie game off.
I his game will be worth seeing.
The Yorketown Sparrows defeated the
WoudstoSn Juniors 10 a good game at
that place on Tuesday. Score, 5 to 4.
II vas very evident that Jack" Bach
% an was not much of a favorite with the
crowd, judging by his cordial" recep-
ton whenever he came to bat last Satur-
day.
Three of the young men who went to
Pennsgrove with the ball club last week
missed the bread wagon and had to walk
home. Sporting life in the country is a
great thing.
The Salem Juniors were defeated last
Saturday, score IA to 5. Even Bachman
and Yourinson could not save the game
for them, for the home club were ou. to
win. Phifer and Handle were the local
battery, and the latter gave remarkable
illustration of grit. "Dad'' had his
hand split by pitched ball, but he fin
ished the game with the blood streaming
from t he injured member.
The Swedesboro boys played with the
home club on Wednesday and the game
resulted in tie, each club making ten
runs. The batteries were: Yourinson
and Bachman for Swedesboro, aud Phifer
and McCann for Woodstown. The game
was exciting throughout and another
contest between these clubs should draw
large crowd. Potts covered first for
Woodstown, and he put up good game
both in the field and at the bat, knocking
home run and two-bagger. McCann
had finger broken in the seventh inning
and he gave way to Green, who caught
the rest of the game very we'll. Gates
saved the game by knocking ball into
the weeds for homer, tieing the score.

Big Stores Collect the Names of Those
Who Should Be Watched.
1t will doubtless be astonishing to
those who have not studied the question
to learn that kleptomania has grown so
much during the last few years that
dry goods merchants have, so to speak,
formed cooperative union of self pro-
lection against the evil. Shoplifters are
Easily dealt with and disposed of, as
they are generally of the class who can
be punished to the full extent of the
law, but the kleptomaniac is usually
woman of refinement, good family and
possessed of ample means, which per-
nit of the qualification of her most ex-
tavagant needs.
Strange as the assertion may seem, it
is so true and has assumed such proper
tons that i'll the majority of the stores
there is Il book kept in the private office
of the firm in which are written the
names OF the women who are known to
be thus afflicted, and when they are
caught in the act bill for the goods
stolen is sent to the husband, father or
the person who has made himself re-
sponsible for the things taken. 1t was
found necessary to do this after two or
three arrests had been made and the
culprlt found, upon investigation, to be-
long to some well known family Itwas
not only necessary for the protection of
the merchants against loss by the theft,
but 1t was also more imperative from
| the fact that these exposures endangered
his business. After such an arrest and
the consequent publicity the family of
| the accused were very loath to trade at
that particular store, and the with
drawal of such patronage meant loss of
thousands of dollars to the proprietor.
This explanation was given me by the
superintendent of one of the largest de-
partment stores, where, after thorough
canvassing of the principal retail stores
i'll the city, found that it was no mere
| gossip as to the existence of this book,
and the fact that nine out of ten EN-
| ployed women detectives, not only fo
| the conviction of shoplifters and pick
| pockets, but to watch the more wealthy
offenders who We're afflicted with wha

The colored people held their annual

paint the town crimson. Marshall Har.

when pistols, razors and other weapons
bristlsd in the crowd like bayonets in a
regiment. The Marshall drew his revol-
yer to defend himself, and this rather
inflamed the mob, and it required no little
effort to quiet the disturbance. Constable
Jacoby was in the midst of it, and
received number of blows before order
was restored. Such picnics ought to go
to the woods where they can have plenty
of room and not run up against the righ is

covering them with spray, but as their
spirits were not dampened thereby, they
returned declaring it 6ne trip.
