Pastor Clifford Exnlains.

Rev. Eli Clifford, pastor of the First M
E. Church, Cape May, states that his prob
able transfer to another charge is not due
to any factional strife in his church grow
ing out of the recent municipal election.
He says he took no part in the election
except to try and get two CounciImen
elected who were members of his church,
and to take as many votes as possible
from another candidate, who, he believed,
had shown himself to be untitled for the
position.
Rev. Mr.. Clifford says a portion of his
congregation favors the old system of
limiting pastor to three years services
at one charge, and in Difference to this
element he decided nearly three months
ago to sever his relations with the church
at the coming conference, if the appoint
ing power would allow him to do so.
Mr.. Clifford preached his farewell SER
mon as pastor of the church, Sunday
night He was presented with resolutions
signed by the officers acknowledging bis
faithful services. ~

A few weeks since Caleb S. Ridgway,
of Lumberton, put an advertisement in
THE NEWS in which he offered prize fol
the best design for the lawn in front Of
his house in Lumberton. The bed is to
be 40 inches wide and 100 feet long, to be
composed of green and red alternanthera,
The applications and designs we're more
numerous than were expected. After con-
siderable time spent by the judges the
prize was awarded to a gardener named
Hansen.
When Mr.. Ridgway offered his prize
for the alternanthera beds it was probably
to save himself the trouble of looking up
a landscape gardener and being forced to
take what the one might offer in not
knowing that another had better. He
thought design or two might come in
that would prove acceptable and that
would end it. But instead the influence
of the competition continues to widen.
and no one can tell whore it will end.
The offer has awakened the fact that
there can be art in a lawn design, and
that there are designs and designs. There
has come to the dealers in bulbs and bed
ding plants so many inquiries as to how
and what to plant to get best results for
least outlay, and in different conditions,
that it has been decided to add volume
to the Dreer library that shall be COM
plete handbook of ornamental designs for
flower and plant beds for all locations.
The designs of it. it is said, are to be by
Hansen, winner of the first prize in the
contest. The illustrations and
descriptions are to be for the guidance OF
the amateur in planting either with fol-
iage plants, bulbs or evergreens, and for
either the level, the slope or the border.
The book, it is hoped, will be ready for
this seasons work. Strange to say there
is not cheap handbook on landscape
such as this promises to be, to
be had, and it is not because not needed.
So it will be seen that Mr.. Ridgway, in
addition to gratifying his own desires, has
become benefactor to those interested in
flowers.

Repairing Pneumatic Tires.

Experienced repairmen and riders
know that fiat rubber patch is the only
repair for tire puncture, and
the Morgan & Wright form of tire is the
only one which can be patched in this
way. In fact, no other form OF tire can
be permanently repaired. The Morgan &
Wright tire can be taken apart when
necessary. A tire in which the inner
tube, valve stem, and outer casing are all
manufactured in one piece may seem
simple to the new rider, and of course all
the manufacturer of such tire has to do
is to slap all the parts together and cook
them in lump, so to speak.
But this Is not real simplicity. IF your
postage stamps get stuck together, you are
a loser. The parts of a pneumatic tire
are worth great deal more than postage
stamps, and any repairman will tell the
rider that sometimes an accident happens
which can only be fixed by taking the
tire apart If the tire is of the all-stuck-
together kind it cannot be taken apart,
and must be considered ruined.
Some people, who have not studied
this matter, have asked Morgan & Wright
to make the all-stuck- together kind but
they have always refused, because they
know that the regular Morgan & Wright
tire gives the least trouble and the most
comfort to the most people.

On Tuesday afternoon Davis S. Hsines,
of Marlton, well known in this section
and highly respected, was united
in holy bonds of matrimony with Mrs.
Hannah H. Williams, very estimable
Moorestown lady, by Friends ceremony
at the home of the bride in Moorestown.
At the school meeting, on Tuesday
night, the three retiring members of the
board of education, Samuel K Robbins,
Thomas H. Marter and Sallie Dudley,
were reelected. Appropriations were
made as follows: Teachers salaries, $2400;
text books, $1,000; incidentals, $1,000; to
build colored school, $4,000. The colored
candidate, Robert Wood, was defeated.
A proposition to lower the grade of the
school in order to cut down expenses
caused vigorous debate, but when the
matter was put to vote the scheme was
defeated by large majority. H. D.
Dougherty was made chairman of the
Board and EIwood HollIngshead clerk
Late Saturday night Edward Carroll, of
Moorestown, discovered two tramps in his
barn. He notified the officers, who went
there to arrest the men. In this they
were successful, but not without some
trouble, however, as one of the hobos
drew revolver and threatened to shoot
an officer. AS they started for Justice
Pettit's Office, one of the fellows in charge
of constable made request that they
go back to the barn as he had left his to-
bacco there. This privilege was granted,
and as a result the tramp succeeded in
making his escape. Nathaniel Mccartney
was safely landed in Jail ON Sunday
charged with haYing drawn the revolver,
but he says 1t was his companion who at
tempted to do the shooting.
There was considerable excitement in
this community on Wednesday when the
news was received of another assault on
a woman by colored man on the Moores-
town turnpike, between here and Mer-
chantville. The name of the victim is
Miss Essle Allen, young woman en-
ployed at the Spread Eagle hotel, near
MerchantVille. On Tuesday night she
was returning at about nine o'clock from
a visit to some friends. When near the
race-track tall negro emerged from some
bushes and grabbed her by the throat.
The woman called loudly for help, at the
same time fighting her antagonist desper-
ately. He attempted to put handker-
chief around her neck, and in SO doing
got finger into her mouth. She bit him
very hard and hurt the villain SO much
that he released her. After striking her
in the face and stealing her pocket-book
the negro fed. Her clothing was badly
torn and she was nearly exhausted when
she reached home. The police were no
tilted at once. The feeling against the
negro was so strong that had he been
caught then he would have Jared badly at
the hands of Infatuated citizens.

A Delightful and Interesting Trip TO
Washington,

To visit Washington at any time-to
behold its fine avenues and it's grand
buildings--is delight; but to visit it in
the early Springtime, when the soft
Southern sun is recalling the datfodils and
crocuses from their Winter beds, and fill
ing the air with life-giving warmth, is
an exquisite pleasure. Such visit is af-
forded by the three-dsy tour of the Penn
sylvania Railroad which leaves New York
and Philadelphia April l, under personal
escort. The tour of the city covers all
the principal points of interest, including
the new Congressional Library, which,
with its grand marble stairways, its mag
nifcent pillars, its exquisite statues and
beautiful frescoes, has been pronounced
the handsomest building at the Capital.
Congress will no doubt be in extra session.
Round-trip rate, including accommoda-
tions at the best hotels and every neces-
sary expense, $14.50 from New York and
$1l50 from Philadelphia. Proportionate
rates from other points.
