stocks-The price of most stocks this
evening was distinctly higher than last
evening. the gains extending to over a
point in some of the most prominent
stocks. There are several reasons why
this net result of the days trading is par
ticularly notable as indicating the recu-
perative power of the merket. In the
first place the market opened with yes
terday's disposition TO take profits APP
parently still rampant. The offerings for
this purpose was very heavy and the
market sold off sharply under the large
transactions The decline was accelera ted
by the pressure of short sales. profes-
sional operators being convinced that
reaction of considerable proportions was
impending. The grangers were. subject
to the severest pressure and but few act
i've stocks escaped a loss of near
point BY the time the decline had reach
ed this proportion the offerings began to
show signs Of diminuition. that unfail-
ing indication of an undertone of strength
in ma falling market and prices soon be-
came firm.
The total sales of stocks to-day were
534 962 shares.

THOSE who believe chronic diarrhma to
be incurable should read what Mr. p. e.
Grisham, Of Gaars Mills, La, has to say on
the subject viz: 81 have been sufferer
from chronic diarrhoa ever since the war
and have tried all kinds of medicines for it..
At last found remedy that effected a
cure and that was Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhna Remedy" This
medicine can always be depended upon for
collie, cholera morbus, dysentery and diar-
rhpa. It is pleasant to take and never fails
to effect cure. Twenty-Five and fifty cent

WOMEN NERD NOT BE The
nervous tension under which most of our
women constantly live affects the female
organism seriously. Heavy household bur-
dens, social gayeties, work in some CONNER
cial establishment, any Of these duties seem
impossible to women who are I'LL and yet
they keep up for time under pressure of
the demands upon them. When they do
break down, the advice and treatment they
receive from their family physician don't
go to the root OF the trouble and they get no
better. They are discouraged, worn out,
tired OF life. The great specialist in women's
diseases, pr. Greene, Of Nervura fame, "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, has shown
thousands Of women who thought them
selves hopeless invalids the way to health.
His Office Is open to all women for free con-
sultation and advice, or If you will write
him about your case he will advise you by
mail absolutely free OF all cost and conf.
dentially. The glorious remedies discov-
cred by this profound physician are an in
valuable boon to women. 1t costs nothing
to be put on the road to health, and all all
ing women should write Dr. Greene at once.

Don't Hurry.

If the Sunday Gazette fails to come up
to expectations in the matter of defend
ing the Combiners, the Combine might
throw it's tow-line across the Thoroug-
fare and press the Pleasantville Press
into service The Press shows a dispo-
sition to get into the Combine swim,
and it also shows remarkable ability in
the mud-slugging line.-Atlantic City
Review.
The Press has no disposition to go out
of it's way for the sake of getting into a
quarrel, neither could it ever hope to
successfully compete with the Review in
the mud-slinging line. 1t has, however,
a disposition to be fair and print news
and facts, and it will print them about
Atlantic City matters just as freely as it
would about Pleasantville or any other
place. If the Review only knew the
stock of facts we have in our possession
about some people who are not those
horrid ''Combiners," it wouldn't be in
any particular hurry to draw this news
paper into a controversy.

rhrowiux RICE aud sl1ppers.


In the September Ladies' Home Jour-
nal Edward W. Box notes the abuse of
the pretty custom of casting a small
parcel of rice or dainty slipper after a
departing bride or groom-an unspoken
Godspeed. "The dainty slipper" be
also says, "has been transformed into
the old shoe of doubtful origin, and
thrown with force and accuracy, causing
no end of discomfort. And this is what
two pretty customs have degenerated
into. They have been vulgarized, and,
therefore, the sooner they pass into dis
use the better. The sentiment of the
customs has been lost. Rice and shoes
are no longer omens of good luck. The
modern thrower of them has transformed
them into missiles with which to annoy
and mortity the bride and groom. The
better class ofpeople have already begun
to substitute shower of rose petals,
and this new and far more beautiful idea
is rapidly being followed. We might
have preserved the old customs, but we
have not. Hencefortb, promiscuous rice
throwing and the casting OF old shoes at
weddings will be left to the Doors of our
modern society, into whose hands these
acts have fallen, and who seem happiest
when they can convert the graceful GUS
toms of olden times into practical
jokes"

ALWAYS on Time.

As a record-breaker the Philadelphia &
Reading Railways ''sixty-minute train"
to Atlantic City has been a wonderful
success. The demand made by Philadel-
phia business men for quick trains to
their summer homes after business hours
led the Reading to put on the train this
season. and the action has been fully
justified. The flyer has been very pop
ular and has daily carried more passen-
gers than any other one train on the
road. frequently it has been found
necessary to add an extra coach, but
even this additional weight has not
caused the lessening of the speed.
The train is scheduled to start at 8 40
p. M, and to reach the city by the sea
just one hour later. Its trips have been
carefully watched, not only by the
Reading officials, but by it's patrons as
well. During the entire month of July it
was never SO much as one second late.
Even on the days when travel was un-
usually heavy the long string Of coaches
started exactly on time, kept up the
flying speed all the way across New
Jersey and rolled into the depot at At
lantic City on the second. Among rail-
road men this is considered remarkable
record and one seldom if ever, equaled
and never exceled Buffalo Courier

The Driving Association.

Those who areinterested in the new or
ganization, known as the Atlantic Co.
Driving Association, met at Waters Hall
Absecon, on Saturday evening to perfect
their plans, and make the necessary ar
raDgements to Immediately put the old
County racetrack in good condition.
Work has already been commenced. The
bitches have besn cleaned out, the bushes
cut down, drains relaid and the tract
will soon be regarded with gravel. At
the meeting several members and citizens
spoke in favor of the movement, and all
were of the opinion that it should be
kept entirely free of the gambling
element To put the Association squarely
on record in this respect a motion was
unanimously adopted that no pool-sell-
ing, or gambling of any kind, should be
tolerated by the management. We
think this is very wise move on the
part the Association, for it does away
with the Objectionable features of horse
racing, and leaves it legimitate sport
for gentlemen as it should be.
Mr.. David Martz, of Pleasantville, was
elected Superintendent of the grounds
and will have charge of putting the
tract in condition, erecting judges
stand, and other necessary work. 1t is
hoped to have the track ready on or
before the first of October.
