Women outnumber Men.

Advance reports Of the late census it il
rnmored, show that women greatly out
number men in New Jersey, and the
women are IN state Of suppressed excite
ment thereat
Il is said that so seriously has the mat
ter presented itself 10 the minds of some
Of the more advanced thinkers. they are
contemplating calling meeting for the
purpose of deyising means that will en-
able them TO deliver themselves frem the
impending fate of spending their lives in
State of baehelorhood.
If. indeed, the advance reports of the
census in this State be true, the ladies
who have not yet secured that desirable
commodity, husband, are certainly in a
bad way.
According TO authoritative estimates Of
the population of New Jersey there are
100000 more females than males in the
State-a state of affairs which is sincerely
to be depioTed by the former, especially
those who have not secured their LIES
partners
Nor is The worst feature of the matter
TO be seen in the fact that there is pres
ent excess of females. By comparison
with the last census, it is seen that the
excess of females is steadily on the in
crease.
Many Of the prominent women's clubs,
recognizing the porientuous significance of
this showing, have decided TO unite in a
thorough and exhaustive discussion of the
matter, with q view of Offering sugges-
lions for the alienation of the suferings
Of their sex in the inevitable thraldom
which continuation Of the present state
Of atIairs viii cause them.

ing water on the burning ChensDgo street
establishment, the Kilmers were arranging
to do business somewhere else.
That this great industry might not be
crippled for moment, through the eour-
tesy of other prominent firms and citizens,
the large factory and adjoining building
on South street were vacated for the ben
eft of the Swamp Root people, aud pos
session was taken immediately, and here

factory will be turning out Swamp Root
the great Kidney Remedy, in quantities
Of about $4,000 bottles per day and in two

proof six story structure, plans for which
have been nearly completed.
