What marked contrast exists between
conditions in the United States to day aud
those Of the corresponding period of Presi-
dent Cleveland's last term. Four years
ago, with low tariff staring the manu-
features Of the country 10 the face, bust
ness was going to everlasting smash, banks
breaking, railroads going into the hands
Of receivers, factories closing, and work
ingmen thrown out of employment by the
hundreds of thousands. Now hundreds
OF thousands OF workingmcn are finding
additional employment, railroads arc
ordering th ousands OF new cars to meet
the demand upon them for transportation
OF manufactures. merchandise, and grain,
the banks report larger deposits and larg
er clearngs Than in many years, and in.
stead OF silent factories, there are clouds
OF smoke and the hum Of busy wheels
everywhere.

THANKS TO ENGINEER FAIL.

Was Never Late with Readings sixty
Minute Flyer.
The splendid record made by Engineer
Charles II. Fail, of the Reading Railways
Atlantic City line, who took his train, the
famous Commute flyer, through en- time
from Camden to Atlantic City on every
trip during the past summer, has called
forth the following appreciatiye and COM
mandatory letter from Vice President
Theodore Voorhees,, OF the Reading
1" Your performance with train No. %
during the past two months deserves spec.
ial communication. This train, now with.
drawn for the season, was scheduled 10
run from Kaighn's Point, Camden, TO
Atlantic City, 90. D miles in SO minutes,
or at the rate of 6I miles per hour. 0w-
ing to the inability of the ferry boats 10
reach Camden on schedule time the train
always left late, the average detention
from this cause being upwards OF two
min utcs. On the other hand, you so ran
the train that this loss was invariably made
up, the train arriving at Atlantic City al
ways ahead OF time, this average being
also two minutes, so that the record shows
that for the 81 days the train ran, from
July . to August 81, the average time
consumed on the run by yon was 4S min
ties, equivalent to n uniform rate OF speed
from start to stop 90 miles per hour.
"On % days the train consisted OF five
cars on 80 days it was made up with SIX
ON no occasion did it fail TO arrive at
Atlantic City en- time.
"fhs performance, believe, has not
heretofore been equalled 10 the history OF
railway service either in this country or
abroad. 1t is Que of which the manage
ment is proud and is credit to the track,
the equipment, and especially 10 the skill
and ability with which you performed the
task inirustcd 10 you.
al take pleasure in Offering you my
thanks for the ilnc service you have rem
dered the company. y PhildReiphia Re

Mrs. Julia Powell, then called upon
Mrs. Il. Bourne, State President, to as.
sumo charge OF the meeting. Her address
was practical aud to the point. She told

requiring two teams to haul the ice; tho

placing of rocking chairs at their disposal
as well as larger oncs for tho parents, etc.
Rev. Mr.. Davis. OF Lebanon, gave a
very stirring appeal TO the hearers to DO
practical He showed how evident il was
that capitalists were anxious for the best
investments inventors for the best in
vcntions farmers cultivated the soil,
anxious for large results, and needed no
appeal to be PRACTICAL but on this subject OF
Temperance, it was necessary TO arouse
them to act. He spoke OF the seriousness
OF the coming election, Sept. 28th, when
men would have q chance to do something

OF your fellow men save them.
His remarks were followed by solo,
beautifully rendered, by Miss FIorenc.
Apgar.
An equally interesting and earnest adj
dress was made by the pastor OF the Bap.
tist church OF Clinton, who at ts close
entered the roll as an honorary member,
aud his wife as active member.
Rev. M. Nicholson, OF the Methodist
church OF CalifoD, gave some stirring re-
marks also, and cards were passed. for
new names as members OF the Union. AS
a result, seven new members were added
to the Clinton Union, which was quite
encouraging to all who had engaged in
the work Of the day
"My Country It's Of thee" was heartily
sung and the meeting adjourned to meet
at bloomsbury, where the next County
Convention will be held.

The "Snag. Proof" Boots OF the
Lsmbertvills Rubber Co. have got very
extended reputation for excellence. Re
Gently, in letter from Dawson City to an
eastern paper, the writer gives as among
the necessary articles to be purchased for
the kIondike journey, 1.-TWO pairs of
'Suag Proof boots" One OF the lead
ing Chicago department stores, in Its re-
cent catalogue, states that after fair
test ii considers the "Snag Proof boot
the best in the market. II states that the
company year before last took up another
boot, bat was compelled to drop ii and
take up again the sale OF the "Snag-

testimonials that we have noticed from

Last Spring, |. l., Niece, OF French
town, who purchased tho timber on the
old Phillips farm, one mile from Mount
Airy, brought portable steam saw mill
upon the premises for the purpose OF saw
ing up the timber. The work has been
going on during the summer, and large
piles OF lumber and cord wood had been
gotten out Last Sunday morning fire
was discovered In the lumber and the
residents OF that vicinity fought ii for three
or four hours, and finding that 1t was
getting ahead 81 them. sent to this city
for help.
The Union Steamer, drawn by four OF
Henry Dilley's horses, proceeded to the
scene, and soon put out the flames, the
fire fortunately, being not far from the
large dam from which ID. b. Sebold for
years gathered his ice supply.
The lumber burned consisted OF about
80, 600 feet Of oak and poplar, valued by
Mr. Niece at 5000. The fire is of unknown
origin. Ii may have originate from sparks
from the engine OF the saw mill.
