committee on inns and taverns." This
P rincton Ion is a special institution,
built by Princeton Alumni largely, and
in its "Grille Room" furnishes drinking
place for the students of the university.
They are, to great extent, its principal
patrons, and it is often uproariously
noisy, SO that neighbors the place are
greatly disturbed.
Some of those signing this petition are
professors in Princeton University, but
the one name that compels attention is
that of the ex-President of the United
States. His first act affecting the public
interest of the university town is to place
his name to petition for license to be
given to drinking place for the
students, place that has already become
notorious for the excessive drinking of
those students. Under these circum.
stances, his signature becomes a brand of
university that welcomed him so elusive
ly and made him, as far as possible, one
of its patrons and exemplars. What
shall be said of the influence upon the
students as they see his signature and
the siguatu res of some of the professors
attached to petition for license to sell
intoxicating drinks? Does it not call
for solemn protestP
At the meeting of the council, which
was held on May 10. 1897, six applications
for license were granted, and on May 10,
1897, at the next meeting of the council
two more licenses were granted, as being
properly signed, one of them being the
application signed by Grover Cleveland,
ex President of the United States, and
therefore, undoubtedly, properly signed.
With these drinking places wide open by
law in Princeton, and recommended by
Grover Cleveland and some of the pro.
sessors of the university, we may expect
that some, if not many, of the students
will graduate as drunkards. God pity
the land, when her mighty ones are
leaders in the paths of sin unto death.

PHILADELPHIA, MOnday, July D, 1891
Commencing July 10th store viii
close at 1 o'clock on Saturdays dur
ing the summer.
Very exact is the Wanamaker
news.
Thousands, tens of thousands,
read the daily store news-and be-
lieve it. Few really know how
much care the advertiser takes to
have the news exact. Statements
as to sizes, prices and general char
acter of goods are only accepted in
writing. Then he looks at the
goods. Doubts as to an article be-
ing all-wool are settled by boiling
the fabric in acid.
Price reductions are based on
what same or equal goods are SELL
ing at, here and in other stores
and guess-work has no part in the
determining. Then he writes the
story, has itset in type for the easier
reading, and submits the prolu., 10
the man who bought the goods.
Errors of statement. price or loca-
ton must be noted. Then proof is
read again and the revised copy, in
printed slips, is sent to the news
papers, where three proof-readings
are given it; and the telephone is
used any time up to midnight to call
for help out of a tangle. Sometimes,
after all, mistakes occur. Not often.
And this is the first time we ever
told you what a firm basis exists
for your belief in the Wanamaller
advertisements.

but no public demonstration was had. All

| his frecrackers had everything his own
way. Patriotic sermons were preached in
the churches on Sunday.
The wife of Samuel Thomas, former
resident of this place, died at her home In
Cohansey last Saturday. The funeral was
held on Tuesday.
Mrs. Julia A. Meyers, well known in this
vicinity, died at her home in Kepaupo last
Sunday, and was buried at Paulsboro on
Wednesday.
On lastl Friday at noon the cry of fire was
heard and it was discovered that the house
occupied by John Kolm and wife and owned
by Leonard Zirkenbach, was in flames. The
fire was caused by the ignition of vapor
from gasoline stove, and so rapid was its
work that only small portion of the hou se-
hold goods could be removed A bucket
brigade did excellent work in preventing
the spread of the flames and thus saved the
home of Mrs. Kate Gallagher adjoining.
Mr. and Mrs. Kolm lost, beside their goods,
about $50 in money. We are glad to note
that, thr ough the kindness OF our citizens,
the loss will be mostly made up, and the
worthy old couple will soon be comfortably
settled again. The house, which was en-
tirely destroyed, was insured.

Trenton, July t. Attorney General
Grey, after consultation with Governor
Griggs, yesterday decided to institute
suits on behalf of the state against
Henry C. Kelsey, former secretary of
state, and against the estate of the late
George 8. Duryee, formerly bank and
insurance commissioner. These suits
are to be brought in the supreme court
to recover about $4,000 which these
officials collected in fees and retained
under their construction of the laws
providing for the fees. The suit against
Kelsey is for about $4,000 and that
against the Duryee estate for about
$4,000.
The retention of the fees in question
by Secretary Kelsey was one Of the
subjects of the state house investiga-
ton of two wears ago. William H
Corbin, the counsel for the investiga-
ton committee at that time, expressed
the opinion that Mr.. Kelsey had NJ
right to the fees which he retained, ant
this view was sustained by the com.
mittee in it's report to the legislature
Mr.. Kelsey collected and retained the
fees for his own use under the act oi
April 49, 1891.

From Genesee.

In regard to social purity we were re-
minded that there is no question of i'm
portance to human life too secret or toe
sacred to be talked about socially, that
the same purity of life which broth ers
expect and demand of their sisters should
be their own, and that sweet innocence
in the knowledge of self has often prov ed
to be dangerous ignorance.
In regard to intemperanoe it was fell
that prohibition is the only remedy; that
if the portion of humanity that profess
religion were converted to Christianity
i. would very soon wipe out this evil,
and there is an especial responsibility
resting upon us to help the weak and
fallen because of our own clearness. II
was stated that the leprosy of intemper.
ance is an ocean of difficulty.
