denial let's the sensation managers down
with dull, sickening thug.

Last Friday Judge Jessup gave hearings
on the license applications of Almonesson
Lake Company and that of Daniel Steel
man at Clayton
The former was refused, and the latter
matter continued until next Thursday.
The Grand Jury, at the last term of
Court found a bill of Indictment against
Geo. Howarth, lessee of the Almonesson
Lake hotel, alleging that liquor was sold
there on Sunday, and other Offenses that
90 to make up a disOrderly house case. On
this indictment jury rendered verdict
of not guilty, and the lessee seemed pur-
ged of that charge, and in good standing
before the Court for renewal of his appli-
cation.
Fear is expressed in some quarters that
this action on the license will result in
closing the resort to pleasure seekers, and
a discrimination of the trolley line, be-
cause the ordinary travel to and from that
section is not sufficient to maintain it. 1t
will be remembered that the Lake was es-
tablished, and for two or three years oper-
ated, as a temperance resort, and the claim
ade that no license would be asked for.
We trust these fears will prove to be
groundless, because the road is a great
convenience TO the people of the entire
eastern section of our county in reaching
Woodbury.

1t is the practice of the Sunday School of
the First Baptist church to present to the
scholars attending fifty sessions of the
school with book as reward for faithful
ness. 1t was thought worthy of trial to
depart from the usual custom of presenta-
tion and have public service ofit. Friday
evening of last week was set for the occa-
sion, and 1t proved quite success AL
though the evening was stormy, the lecture
room was we'll filed with parents and
friends of those who were to receive the
rewards Mr.. c. r. Evans address on
bookswas very instructive and entertaining
Pastor Childrey presented the books in a
very happy manner TweEty--ne scholars
were rewarded. In addition to the speak
ing. an entertaining program was provided.
Sunday was busy day for Pastor Child
rev, he baptising twelve candidates for
Berkley church in the morning, and two
in the evening for the First church of our
city.

Saloons" in Gloucester County

Saloons" in Gloucester County.
Tuesdays Ledger contains an interesting
article on the License Question in Glou-
cester county, "in which, without exception,
the license houees of our county are classed
as saloons" This classification is mis-
leading to the outside world. The hotels
of Messrs Newton, Davis and Herman are
to Woodbury. what the Lafayette, Walton
and Hanover, are to Philadelphia, and the
same may be said of those of every other
town in this county. Saloons are recog-
nized as tippling houses, and have never
been licensed by our county courts.
The public houses in our county are not
licensed to sell liquor, but its sale is incl
dental to the real purpose Of public
house or hotel.
Hence the only objection the people of
this county can have to the Ledger'S very
readable article is spreading broadcast the
misleading information that ouF courts
have ever licensed saloons" or been
profigate in bestowiDg the hotel privilege.

CHRIST BEFORE PLATE AND CHRIST

CHRIST BEFORE PLATE AND CHRIST ON
CALVARY.
| The citizens of Philadelphia are at last
to have the loDg-desired opportunity oi
viewing the two world-Tenowned paintings
by the great Hungarian Artist, Munkacsy--
+" CHRIST BEFORE PLATE" and :" CHRIST
ON CALVARY
These wonderful pictures until seven
years ago were on exhibition in nearly all
the principal cities of Europe, and in
twenty-on cities aud towns in the United
States
1t is safe to say that they have been
looked upon by millions of people
Wherever they have been viewed they
have made a most profound impression,
due to the matchIess skill of the painter
and the grave nature of the events por-
trayed
This we believe is the first time in their
history that they have been placed on
exhibition side by side. Painted at diff
ferent dates they were transported from
place to place separately, but now tnat
Philadelphia-th hume of their owner
is their home, and ample accommodation
for their joint exhibition has been found
in the large Church of the Epiphany,
corner of Fifteenth and Chestnut Streets,
he people of Philadelphia are able to
make study of both paintings, in close
proximity.
Although on the same altar of the old
historic Church they are very properly
separated, SO that the study of the one
may not interfere with the study of the
other. Visitors can readily pass from side
to side and compare them.
THE CHRIST BEFORE PLATE was
finished in 1881 and the CHRIST ON
CALVARY in 1884, the former being con-
sidered Munkacy's masterpiece.
1t is believed that the Baron de Nun
kacsy is at this time hopelessly i'll and
that his brush has most likely given to
the world its last picture.
Munkacsy has not only painted the
bodies of men, but their souls, the best
proof of this being that the pictures need
no explanation, they tell their own story
for the thoughts of the varied characters
are visibly read in their marVellously ex-
pressive faces
The facination of these pictures is such
that one may see them hundred times
and ind fresh interest in every visit.
1t is matter of public interest that
after the private views being given this
week to the Press and the Clergymen of
Philadelphia and vicinity, the Cuban suf-
ferers, through the Red Cross Society, are
to be recipients of the proceeds of the ex-
hibition for the fortnight beginning Tues
day, I'D inst from a. m. to 10 o. m.
every day except Sunday. The admission
will be 25 cents
