Peace and Arbitration.

The 10Th of December, the third SUM-
day in the month, will be universally
observed by Peace Societies as "Peace
Day." Will the pastors, of whatever
name, to whom this notice appears, on

preach peace Sermons on that day.

same to neighboring p astors ? We would
also call the attention of the Y. M. C. A
and all Young Peoples Societies to the
subject. with the hope that they will
adopt Peace topics for the day.

The conviction of Martin Thorn, for
the brutal murder of Guldensuppe, iE
New York, seems to be a just verdict, as
Thorn now admits that he did the deed
and not Mrs. Mack. His story that the
woman killed Guldensuppe was a pure
fabrication. with the intent to save his
neck. Both man and woman seem
to be fit subjects for the electric chair.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fs ct often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles ss the meD. The womb is situated
back of and very close to the bladder, and
for that reason any distress, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
cas- IL avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty four hours; a sediment or settling
is evidence that your kidneys and bladder
need doctoring. If you have pain or dull
aching in the back, pass water too free

sity. We had looked upon it ig~norantly,
no doubt, as a stronghold of temperance
reform, and in the days of that stanch
teetotaler, DR.. McCosh, it may nave been /;
but "times and seasons" change!
While Harvard University, with its pre-
dominant Unitarian influence, has
banished punch from the spreads given
by the students, and Cambridge, with a
population of eighty five thousand, has
for ten years voted mo license" (Presi
dent Eliot being in later years among
those voters because of the good he openly
declares he finds in the new m~ethod), it
has baen left for Princeton, the home of
Presbyterianism, to offer five kinds of
wine at its recent anniversary reunion,
and to have under it's sheltering wing a
botel, built, we learn, by certain of the
rich alumni, in which is a ''grill ROOM
where fermented and malt liquors can be
had by the students at their pleasure;
and it is of undoubted authenticity that
certain, professors and--saye the mark:
professors wives, have recently placed
their names on a petition that this feature
of the hotel may be re-licensed.
We do not believe there is a parallel tt
this in the religious history of the country
since the temperance reform became a
recognized force for righteousness. And,
most surprising of all, the General
Assembly, having it's attention called to
the wine banquet at the reunion, tabled
q resolution expressive of regret. All
this is a distinctly retrogressive step on
the part of one of the great church groups
of the patton, which has within its fold
a stanch army of teetotalers aud temper
advocates, and counts among its
clergy some of our reformers.

Franklin Murphy, Chairman of the
Republican State Committee, has def
nitely decided, it is said, to enter the
Gubernatorial race. Mr.. Murphy is an
able and accomplished gentleman, who
has done much to promote the success of
the party in this State, but as there are
several other gentlemen who have like
al ambitions the nomination is By no means
a certainty until so declared by the con
v%ention. The field may be getting a little
crowded, but it is still an open one.
Apropos to the agitation to abolish the
Monday night sessions Of the Legislature,
Senator Miller, of this county, takes the
sensible position that they afford a good
opportunity for the Legislators to learn
the views of their constituents aud confer
about necessary legislation. If the fact
of the danger of the guileless statesmen
from Essex and Hudson remaining in the
Capital city oser. night is the only argu-
ment that can be brought against them,
their abolition is still rather remote.
Legislators who cannot be trusted over
night had better be kept at home.
Congress assemblies next Monday, and
though a number of leading Representa-
tives have volunteered the opinion that
the session will likely be a short one, not
longer than the first of June at the fur
thest, the wish is N ost likely father to
the thought. There are a number of
weighty questions to come up, such as
the revenue. currency, Cuba, Hawaii and
others of equal import, which are likely
to provoke discussion, and when once
this is begun, the person isn't born yet
who can gauge the wind of q Congress,
man when it comes 10 talking. 1t is
hoped. however, that the session will be
a business-like one, and an aid to the
improved business conditions rather than
a detriment.

~Burlipgton's local press Superin-
tendent, Mrs. A. R. Cline, has this to
say of Mrs. Bullock and daughter:
The members of the W. G. T. U. of
Burlington, N. j., feel that they made
no mistake when they decided to have
Mrs. Helen l.. Bullock and daughter
come to speak in the interest of temper
aDce on Tuesday, 23i inst.
Invitations were sent to zach of the
juvenile societies connected with the
various churches, and in the afternoon
at 4 O'Clock the main auditorium of the
Union M. E. Church was entirely filled
with the children and their friends. The
children met at the different churches
and marched to the place of meeting.
Miss Bullock spoke in an easy, interest
ing way, gaining the attention of the
children at the very first and holding it
to the close of her remarks. She warned
them of the danger of using cider, root
beer, cigarettes, ETC., and the applause
at the close of Der remarks proved that
they had been appreciated.

Burlington ~eounty's excellent press
Superintendent, Mrs. L. Il. Morris. also
writes of Mrs. Bullock. In part she pays:
In Moorestown, on the 18Th inst, Mrs.
Bullock and her daughter, Miss Florence
Bullock, won the hearts of many. Mrs.
Bullock met members of the union at
Z 30 p. M; at 8 p. m. delivered a fine,
practical address to a representative
audience. The responsibility of workers
was dwelt upon, the theme being,
"Sowing and reaping." Four active and
three honorary members were gained.
Moorestown Union now numbers 146.
At the public high school, at 4 p. M;
Mrs. Bullock made a beautiful appeal to
the young, emphasizing the Importance
Of forming good habits, right thinking,
as we'll as good reading, being a desider-
alum. Good conversation also must be
cultivated as a step upward in character
building. The boys were warned
against forming the tobacco habit, and
girls advised to dress beautifully. The
subject at the public high school was
''The temple of God" A practical ex-
amble was given the pupils to work out
certain amounts expended for tobacco
and beer from 5 years to go years, adding
interest as the years go Oh. The pupils
arriving at the right result are to have
their names sent to Mrs. Bullock. No
doubt the boys will be surprised--it is
hoped to the extent Of forming good
resolutions when they see the proof of a
frightful waste.
At 3 p. m. Miss Bullock addressed the
colored children in their public school,
telling them the evil effects of cider,
r%ootbeer, cigarettes, etc. She urged them
to be truthful and honest.
