PLEASANTVILLE, Oct. %. 1S9l.-Ihe
M. E. Church at Absecon is holding a cen
tennial celebration this week that is beng
well attended and creating considerable
interest in church circles. The cnurch
was founded October p, 1871 100 years ago

priately observed by a large gathering OF
the members and addresses by former
pastors.

ENHLIND'S DANGER.

Not many years ago some wise peo-
pie in this country thought the time
was at hand when there wouldn't be
wheat enough to go around. Ever
since then there has been SO much
wheat that the price has been going
down, and now the talk is that it will
not pay to continue to raise wheat
The alarm was a false one. An alarm
has just been sounded In England to
the effect that Gngland's dependence
upon other nations for breadstuffs is
a source Of grave national danger
which needs immediate attention. The
alarnlist, who is member OF the house
of commons, says that England lives
from hand to mouth, and that q
months supply Of preadstuffs is the
limit of her food reserve. In the days
Of the struggle with France that ended
at waterloo, when British ships were
supreme On the sea, and there was no
importation of either wheat or -four,
and population was but a half Of what
1t is now, the price of the quartern loaf
rose / shilling s pence, and there were
serious riots in many of the large
towns. How would it be now, should a
general European war occur? The
continental powers can feed their own
people, but Great Britain's $1,000, 600
wage earners could not afford to pay
for bread at famine prices What
would be England's condition when
obliged to face one or more belligerent
powers abroad, and an industrial army
of 100000 wage earners and their
families clamoring, and possibly riot
ing, for bread at home? No such con-
dition ever before existed in any nation

NOT FIrrING.

1t Is glorious that Yale has begun to
hold her own in contests that are more
brainy than brawny, but it is sad that
she does not yet appear to be fully ad-
justed to the new and glorious state OF
affairs. There is perhaps something
more or less congruous in celebrating a
Yale athletic victory on the water or on
the land by means of midnight bonfires,
midnight tin horns, midnight yells and
midnight beers" But 1t isn't fitting
to SO celebrate Yale victory where the
contest is q purely intellectual one.
Perhaps the young gentlemen of Yale
have no other way of expressing sur
prise and joy, but If Yale brains con-
tlnue to win In brainy contests 1t is to
be hoped that some other way to cele-
brate the winning will be found. Brutal
and silly noise is not worthy tribute
to the glow of intellect, the play Of wit
and the proper and triumphant use OF
logic,

in the worlds history, 1t was not con-
templated in 1870 by Golden and his
disciples, The country then had more
than double the wheat area 1t now pos
sesses, and produced more than nine
en-twentleths of its byeadstufrs. The
danger of famine could not then arise,
By quadrupling the wheat area of Eng
land 100000 acres might be sown to
wheat, and furnish an ample bread
supply, for under equal economic con-
ditions British land will furnish 80
shillings per acre more wheat than
foreign land can do, The alarmist de-
nands government inquiry If nothing
more, for while the wage earners are
not and cannot be directly consulted in
a declaration of war, they will surely
hold any government for some security
against famine prices, should such a
calamity as a great European war be
thrust upon England.
1t is astonishing how England has
managed to make the progress she has
when what has been against her is con-
sidered, She has way of taking care
Of herself and in spite of the fears so
graphically expressed by one of her
alarmed sons she may not starve to
death a great while before other folks
do

matched them. The belt, however, was
black velvet, and the sleeves were
trimmed to match the skirt. This dress
is not immoderate in it's redness, though
it is undeniably striking in March; but
by May will be well accustomed to it's
kind.
Nothing authoritative can be said
about the skirt that may be worn with
any bodice. Black satin is gone by so
thoroughly that it is economy to trans
form your old fashioned black satin
skirt into a new fashioned blouse or
coat. For winter, velvet skirts have
been the absolutely exclusive things.
Now exquisitely fine and silky finish
cloths are all right for any but really
dressy wear, when, in black they do
not seem to fill the bill Brocaded
satins with great spreading matched
figures are worn, but they are not new
and are not becoming to short women.
The newest silks show dark ground
with little pinhead spots of a bright
color, say a ground of sapphire and a
spot of flame color With such skirt,
which will be cut out in points at the
foot to show an elaborate braiding, a
touch of scarlet and a squirt of bright
blue, may be worn an all black, an all
blue, or a flame bodice, but any bodice
will not do An unlined open grenadine
in black, with lap seams held by scroll
work of braiding up each seam, may be
worn, but that means you must have
an assortment of silk understands, and
that your under-skirt which will show
through the grenadine, shall be har-
monized to the bodice you wear.

FASHION NOTES.
Women in Red.


There's no attempt at softenlng reds
this spring, and burst of them has
taken hold of women, The brightest
shades of this color are now found in
new dress stuffs, and moreover, women
are wearing them, though the colors
are the very ones that have heretofore
been left for little girls. The dress of
to-day's picture was undisguised scar
let in a cashmere, and though it was
very freely trimmed with black velvet
ribbon, enough of the goods was left
to almost stun the observer. At the
hips there was a trimming of velvet
ribbon and lace medallions, and the
bodice was almost covered with the rib
bon. Its revers We're white satin band

The decision of the Consistory court
Of the diocese OF London to return the
''los of the Mayflower' to this country
is a very graceful and pleasing act, al
though it does seem that Chancellor
Tristan, who presided at the hearing,
ought not to have been obliged to ask
whether New England was a part Of
Massachusetts,. But it is cheering that
he got correct and instructive informa-
ton and was also informed that Ply
mouth is in Massachusetts. 1t is said
that the bringing back to Massachu-
setts OF the famous Bradford manu-
scripts deposited in the library of Full
ham Palace, containing the records Of
the early history of the Pilgrim Faith
ers and their voyage to America in the
Mayhower, is due to Senator George Il.
Hoar. When he was in England last
summer he called on DIR. Temple, then
Bishop Of London, now Archbishop of
Canterbury, who showed him the pre-
cicus diary. Mr.. Hoar suggested that
the true place for it was in Massachu-
setts, and the Bishop agreed that that
was So and said that he would do all
he could to bring about return. 1t
was necessary to get the consent of the
Archbishop, as the library belongs to
ich nd ,es th,,e
of the church. The Archbishop died
recently, and DIR. Temple succeeded
the same views as his predecessor as
TO the disposal Of the manuscript, and
the result was the consent of the
Church of England. When Senator
Hoar returned to America he prepared
memorial which was signed by many
distinguished men and was sent to the
Bishop of London. AS little publicity
was given the matter as possible, and
alls we'll that ends well.

considerable an authority finds it pos
sible to crafty a natural desire of the

supposed to be light thing thus to
part with documents having a national
Significance" Proceeding to argue that
while the manuscripts which Phiadel-
phia returned to England concerned
England alone, the Mayfower docu-
ment was as much a part of English as
American history, the Times continues:
ut is the more necessary to claim full
credit for such acts of courtesy and
friendship because the act of the Amer
lean Senate renders it impossible to
draw the countries together by the
stronger bonds which our government
has shown itself ready to FORGE This
is rather ungraceful thing to tack on
to a graceful thing, but it must be con-
fessed that there is reason for it.
