A NEW LAW.
In Relation to tho Printing and Do
posting of Election Ballots.

posting of Election Ballots.
At the session of the legislature of
1901, an amendment was made to the
election law which provides that:
1.-THE ballots shall be of uniform size
and of the same quality and color of
white paper, and sufficiently thick that
the printing cannot be distinguished
from the back and that ballots in each
election district shall be numbered con-
secutively on the upper right-hand cor
ner'of the front side thereof, and no two
ballots of the same kind in the same
township or..election district shall have
the same number; such corner contain
ing said number shall be perforated
diagonally across the corner of the bal
lots, so that it can be handily torn off be-
fore such ballot is deposited in the bal
lot box. The inspector shall
write his initials in ink ON the upper
left-hand corner of the back of each of
said ballots, but not upon the perforated
corner, in his ordinary handwriting,
and without any distinguishing mark of
any kind. = Before leaving the
booth the elector shall fold his ballot so
that no part of the face thereof shall be
exposed, and so that the initials of the
inspector shall be on the outside thereof,
and on leaving the booth shall at once
deliver in public view such ballot to the
inspector designated to receive the
same, who shall thereupon announce
audibly the name of the elector offering
the same, and the number of the ballot,
and shall ascertain by comparison of the
number of the ballot with the number
of the ballot given such elector as shown
by the poll list whether the ballot pre-
sented is the same one given such cleo
tor, and if is the same the inspector
shall tear off the corner of the ballot,
where perforated containing the num-
Der and shall then in the presence of the
elector and the board Of inspectors, de-
post the same in the ballot box without
opening, and if it is not the same ballot
given said elector it shall be rejected.

Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all the
marvellous tints of beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood The shell-like
pink beneath the finger nails, the deli
cate rose of the cheek, the cherry ripe
ness of the lips, the irridescent brilhance
of the eyes are all produced by the blood.
Just as the permanence of a beautiful
painting will depend upon the purity of
the colors with which it is painted, so
the permanence of beauty depends on
the purity of the blood. Paint, powder
and cosmetics won't avail to perserve
beauty. Beauty begins in the blood.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
a true beautifier, because it provides for
nature that pure blood with which alone
she can paint. The use of this medicine
will cleanse the skin, heighten the com
plexion, brighten the eyes, and give to
face and form that radiance of health
which is the greatest charm of beauty
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are very
effective in Kidding the system of

EFADlNG'EMFLOYES
GET WAGE INCREASE.

Heads Of all departments of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company yesterday received notice
regarding an ADVANCE in wages.
While no details We're issued it
was stated by an official Of the
company that the advance would
virtually amount to 10 per cent and
would affect all but the high salari-
ed officers 1t has not beou decided
that only those receiving less than
$500 per month will enjoy increases
but the limit will depend upon cir
cunstauccs.
Early as last spring before the
strike the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company had decided
to give its employees the increase
which was announced yesterday.
But they had not arranged the
details when the strike put the

WILL ADVANCE
FREIGHT RATES.
Plan Of Pennsy to Make Good
Increase in the
Wages.


To meet the increased cost in oper-
alin@ expenses by reason OF tn. recent
advance in wages, the Pennsylvania
and other leading lines will advance
freight rates on January l, 1903. aud
preparations to that end are already
under way. This statement was
made yesterday by an official connect
cd with the freight department Of
the Pennsylvania NoiIroad.
The advance is expected to apply
only to commodity rates, the plc>cnU
CLASSIFIED rates tOrcmlin undiSILrb:l
The conn. olity rate, are those apply
ing to bulk freigh'S. like coat, coke,
iron and steel products, stone. bricks
and kindred rrcights, and grain and
It's products. What the advance will
be has not been determined upon,
and it was Stated Yesterday that no
conferences had bccn held on the sub.
!iCCt, bat THAI number Of them
would probably be held before the
advance Is made.
The contemplated advance, return

10000, 600 in 1908, will more than
compensate for the increase Of 81, 900

re caSonS advanced in favor of the in
crease in freight rates is that the trc-

CHARITY CONFERENCE
They Discuss Child Saving, the Curfew Law
Cigarettes, and the WorkLouse.

The session of the Charity con
ference at the Unitarian Church
yesterday afternoon was devoted tC
discussion of the "Curfew Law, ="
this being a sub-topic of the general
| subject of Child Saving"
At the evening session, the
County Workhouse" was discussed.
The afternoon session convened
at 3 o'clock, when the Rev j. l..
Nichols, of the Second NJ. P. Church
read paper on the curfew law.
Mr., Nichols contended that the
operation of the curfew law was
the greatest step in the labor of
child saving. He said that the
child received impressions and form
ed habits very easily un til about
the age of sixteen or seventeen,
when impressions were not so read
lily received, and habits were broken
with difficulty.
The child, the writer cOntended,
at an early age stood at two paths,
one leading to the right and the
other to the wrong. Consequently
it was essential that early training
should not be neglected as that was
tho critical period of life, The de-
sires he said, could not be quenched
or destroyed and they should be
trained and corrected.
The paper called attention to the
h1l1 nt nj, ,vh
roam the streets Of this city day
and night and ascribed this con-
dition Of affairs to the lack of
proper interest Of parents in the
performance Of their duty toward
their children. TO reform the homes
the paper read, is a very difficult
task, but something must be done
to keep the boys III the right path.
The paper concluded by urging
the passage of resolutions favoGing
the passage OF the Curfcw Law. The
resolutions were adopted.
The kew. W. l.. $. Murray read
paper on The Cigarette Evil. lie
urged that the municipal author
tiles enforce the law prohibiting
the sale OF cigarettes to minors uu-
der 10 years OF age, and a set of
resolutions to that effect were
adopted.
