Vacation Closes.

Next Fourthday afternoon, 25sh inst,
the Woodstown W. G. T. U. will again
resume their regular weekly meetings.
We trust that these vacation days have
been we'll spent; til at there has been nc
falling away OF interest, but that the
field of action has been reviewed intelli.
gently by our members. and that all will
come back into our weekly councils with
deel ened, more exalted interest in the
many sided work that ever o0nfronts
the earnest, Christian worker. At this
first meeting tn. especial features that
will claim the attention of the meeting
will be the reports of several of the
superintendents of departments. Not
verbal reports, but carefully prepared
written reports, showing the exact de-
gree to which each department has bten
developed during the year, in so far as
figures and description can show.
At succeeding meetings there will be
more reports of superintendents, and
soon the annual election of officers, at
which every member of the local union
should be present. A wider sphere of
'casting the ballot" will soon be thrown
open to women, in which their indi-
vidual opinions may be conscientiously
expressed Gas they are bound to express
them), and it behooves US, members of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, to come out and freely express
(through the ballot) whom we would
choose for our president, our secretaries,
and our treasurer for the ensuing year.
We are firm in the belief that not alone
in the faithfulness and grace, but in the
ability and enthusiasm as we'll of our
president lies the key to the success OF
the local union. Let us all sing "I'll be
there" and carry our song into execution.
Do not forget the date of our first
meeting: Fourthday, %, at 3p. m.
Visitors always welcome.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Aug. l6, 1897.
This is Not Wanamaker's
Store

OGOA =
In one sense-lt is the peoples
store, owned and managed by Mr..
Wanamaker, who only benefits him
self and partners through the bene-
fits secured by the store for the peo-
pie. Doing the best things in gath
ering merchandise at points of pro-
duction, economizing transporta-
ton and distribution, assuming re-
sponsibility in each transaction and
charging a uniformly low commits
sion for the service, insures mutual
benefits. The people are advantaged
and no one begrudges what the
agent gets for his risks and cares.
The principles laid down for the
business are sure to work out TO the
good of all concerned. Truly the
big stores get bigger because the
people flock to them for advart, yes
gained. And yet the smaller stores
increase in number by the trade of
their localities, as the lists of the
mercantile appraisers are said to
show. 1t must not be forgotten that
this business was like almost all
others-very small when it began.
Two thousand dollars would have
paid for all in that store. Little
stores as we'll as big ones can grow
and get better all the time. Why
not?
1t may not be understood, but
nevertheless we put it on record as
our opinion that the people in city
or country should supply their wants
at their neighborhood stores for
whatever they can buy of them ad-
vantageously. Grateful to all who
show their preference for our store,
we shall be quite content to take
the leavings with such business as
would also come naturally to us,
from being the first to show new
goods and new fashions and from
having classes of goods never seen
elsewhere. There are also certain
special opportunities that come to
US to cheaper prices, as when we
assist manufacturers in perilous
conditions or supply them with
orders by which to give full employ
ment to working people in dull
periods.
The reason we send wagons to
Atlantic City and elsewhere in rural
sections is because our customers
having bought goods of US, we de-
liver them by our own service at
their own doors, as the cheapest
and best method. There will still
be plenty OF business for US if the
people patronize we'll their own
home and locality stores. While we
prepare for business and work for it
to the best of our insights, we are
quite content to take that share of
it that fairly comes to US because
of better service in qualities,
prices and guarantees, or other sat
isfactions.
While we never Drag of our bust
ness, and especially while others
are suffering, our store has grown
little by little to the full size of an
entire block, and it steadily grows
from within, because it does some
things better and better-as the
people, one by one, find out-from
day to day. Almost every one of
our departments has behind it over
twenty years and some of them
nearly forty years experience.

The tendency of the price of wheat
continues to be steadily upward, and on
wednesday it touched the $1.00 mark in
New York. The foreign demand is
maintained, and the top notch is. not
thought to have been reached yet, but if
we had wheat to sell, and a buyer
should offer us a $1.00 a bushel
spot cash, we should not tempt
fate by refusing it. 1t may go
above $1.00, but it is hardly probable
that the market can be maintained very
long above the dollar mark. European
buyers are not likely to be willing to pay
more than 81 90. When they have to pay
more than that price they will substitu to
something else for breadstuff. When
you are offered 81 90 for your wheat sell

In the absence of any more important
news the State press has been devoting
these August days to discussion of the
political situation in New Jersey, with
special reference to the Senatorial ques-
ton. Elk Cong ressman John Kean and
Governor Griggs have been regarded as
the leading candidates, and, of course,
the friends of each have sought to gain
such vantage ground as might be in sight
for their favorite from which to better
direct the active canvass two years hence,
when the election will take place. 1t was
claimed that conference of leaders,
mostly from South Jersey, was held at
Cape May on Sunday, at which the senti-
ment was strongly in favor of Mr.. Ksap.
Upon the heels of this announcement
comes the authoritative declaration from
Governor Griggs, through his persona
friend, Hon. George Wurtz, Secretary of
State, that he is not a candidate for
United States Senator, to succeed Sena.
tor Smith, and that he has never done or
said anything to justify the current
belief that he was q candidate for the
place. The Governor is reported as say
ing further that he has no dou bt what
ever that the Republicans will remain in
control of the State and be able to choose
a successor to Mr.. Smith, and although
many have expressed to him the hope
that he would be that su. cessor, yet be is
not candidate and cannot accept the
office. This is not because the place is
not attractive or not to his taste, but he
cannot afford it. He says that it is impos
sible for him to sacrifice his business at
the bar on $4,000 year. and he cannot in
justice to himself and his family entail
upon himself the necessary expenditures
connected with such an Office. The Gov
ernor expresses himself as intensely
grateful for the support of hosts of
friends, yet for personal reasons already
it is entirely settled that he is not can
didate and will not be. He concludes by
saying that at the end of his term as
Governor he will resume his practice at
the bar, free from political aspirations,
but always ready to give to the Republi-
can party any assistance in his power.
This practically comedies the field to Mr.
Kean, and he has all the elements to
make an ideal candidate.

Boston Wins Out While New
York Loses to Chicago.

New York. Aug. 31.-Dressed in his duck
trousers and in full view of hundreds of
excursionists, bob Fitzsimmons waded in
the Shiny mud of the salt meadows back
of Beck's Rye beach summer resort yes
terday morning and saved a bay mare.
The mare, owned by Robt. Beck, got
off the road into the marsh, and the fur
ther she walked the deeper she sank The
driver was in despair. He could not go
ahead and he could not go back. The
and the exertions made her go deeper.
Fitz and Yarrum were summing them
selves on the hotel veranda, and Bob
quickly hurried to the scene. Fitz, Beck,
his son R. A. Beck, G. A Worden, Thos.
Cavanaugh and a number of pleasure
seekers went along.
The mare was almost up to her neck
in the slime. They gave her up. all but
Fitz. He waded into the mud placed
his big arms around the neck of the horse
and gave a mighty tug. The first attempt
failed, and then, taking a better hold,
he made another desperate effort and the
animal was pulled over on her right side.
In the meantime Beck had brought ropes.
''Put the biggest one about the neck and
another around the rear legs quick said
Bob, and the hotel employees followed his
advice. Bob, plastered with mud and
slime, then caught hold of the ropes and
with the assistance of the bystanders the
nearly exhausted horse was dragged out.

MACKAY HONORs HIS SON.
Desires to Build One of the Finest
Mortuary Chapels in the World
in a Protestant Cemetery.

Brooklyn.Au 31.-Negotiations have
been begun by representatives of John
w. Mackay of California, with the au-
thorities of Greenwood cemetery for the
purchase of a plot of ground large
enough to erect a mortuary chapel
As Greenwood is non-sectarian, the
question of conservation has been con-
sidered. According to existing Roman
Catholic requirements, the whole ceme-
terry would have to be consecrated be-
fore the chapel can be built, but, as
the Greenwood authorities will hardly
allow this, Bishop Donnell will, it is
said, apply for dispensation permit
ting the conservation of only the plot
which the chapel will stand. Tt will
be remembered that Mr.. Mackay's son
was killed in Paris not long since by
being thrown from a horse. The body
was brought here and inferred at
Greenwood. The chapel is to be built
in order that mass may be said daily
for the repose of his soul.
If the difficulties about conservation
are overcome, one of the handsOmest
chapels in the world will be erected.
and a priest will be speedily assigned to
say mass in it every day. He will be
attached to one of the Brooklyn par
iSheS.

BIG ALFALFA PALACE.
One of the Attractions of the Coming
Fair at Rocky Ford.

Rocky Ford, Colo, Aug. 31.-The
fair grounds are now alive with work
men preparing for the coming fair. The
alfalfa palace is almost completed. 1t is
of baled alfalfa
Over each entrance is arched a bale
of hay 80 feet in length, the longest
bales ever made. The interior of the
palace is furnished with tables and
shelves made of baled alfalfa. This
building will be used exclusively for
farm and garden products and fruits.
The building set apart for textile fab
rics, fine arts and ladies' department
is being thoroughly refitted to accom-
modate the expected largely increased
exhibits.
In all portions of the grounds is heard
the hum of active preparation. In a
dense grove just outside the fair
grounds the tables for the melon day
feast are well under way. These tables
occupy a parallelogram so by 200 feet,
making a total length of 500 feet, with
in which will be piled Il, 900 melons,
weighing from 20 to 35 pounds.
The advance guard of the army of
amusement caterers is on the ground
and the town has quite fair week air
and hustle.
The committee on public comfort is
making arrangements with many pri-
vate families to entertain those who
cannot find places at the hotels.
