A Chocolate Affair.

Chocolate now is served at after
noon functions where tea once was
considered the only proper beVeIGss.
At a charming afternoon affair given
by a girl who had become tired of
the beaten track Of the usual "teas"
the refreshments served were com
posed almost entirely of the chocolate
variety. There were cups of hot choc-
olate with whipped cream, thin bread
and butter sandwiches, with olives for
a relish; this of course was followed
by a chocolate ice, fancy chocolate
cakes and chocolate bonbons.

SKIRTS FOR WINTER.
New Garments are Made in Three or
-Four Ways.

Skirts are made in one of three or
four different ways But just for the
moment the favorite is the plated
straight skirt. But it all depends upon
the material after all and the fancy
plated skirt with the plaits set in be-
low the hips is model that is much
worn.
Where materials will permit the ruff
fed skirt is popular, and the skirt,
consisting of two deep ruffies, each
one-half the depth of the spirit, is
selected as the model in soft silks and
poplins.
The seven gored empire skirt is one
of the best models. This is a plain
walking skirt 1t is fitted around the
hips, but spreads widely below. 1t is
made without OTnamentation of any
kind, but is finished with two or three
plain bands around the foot. These
bands are of velvet, sewed upon the
upper edge only. so as to set out we'll
and make a pretty finish for the skirt
The five gored skirt is also one of
the popular designs, but it needs TO
be trimmed, and the wide, handsome
border of heavy lace around the bot
tom is fayorite way of trimming this
style of skirt. Still another popular
method is that of applying a ruffie
about a foot wide, with a heading of
lace, or with a piping of silk, or some
fiat velvet bands
Tho EiIrod clint i- much =,
and there are skirts that are made
with the plaits turning back sharply
| from the front They are wide and so
arranged as to leave a very broad
| front panel. which is Ornamented in
some manner. This wide front panel
may be trimmed with lace or with
a braided design.
The use of lace upon winter skirts
/ may seem a questionable stretch of
| appropriateness. yet when one sees
| the beautiful winter gowns that are
| trimmed with lacy materials one is
! forced TO change ones mind as to the
use of lace on winter gowns. Many of
| the handsOmest winter costumes are
| trimmed with filmy materials. Lace
| dyed. tan lace, brown lace and laces
in black and white are all much worn
The mixed fabrics are so pretty
that they need little or no decoration,
| and many of the dressmakers abso-
| lutely refuse to trim them in anyway,
declaring that it spoils a woman's
lines to break up the pattern with
| trimming.

II Remove Medicine Stain.

Stains made by medicine and lini-
ment are often obstinate to remove
in the hands of an amateur. Iodine
marks may be removed by washing
the spots with strong ammonia until
it fades, after which wash with tepid
water and strong soap.
Ammonia is equally good for remov-
ing cod liver oil stains. Fuller's earth
made into a paste and thickly applied
to the spots will also remove them.

THE COUNTY CLERKSHIP SITUATION.

The Republican County Committee met
last Saturday but as far as We can learn there
are just as many candidates for the Clerk
ship as there were before perhaps more
Mr. W. Wilkins says there are FIVE candi-
dates -Ridgway, Wilkins, Cattell, Miller
and Sturgess. Now, there is talk Of Walter
Heritage, of East Greenwich, and William
M. Carter, of Woodbury..
The rumor is that "Oldo Frank told the
Committee that il it could demonstrate
that any candidate could get any more votes
than he could, he would not be candidate.
But he wanted facts aud figures and not
mere words. That he wasn't afraid Of wind
storms, brain storms nor the whole Lou
denslager gang.
s'Bish' Miller told the solemn eonclaye,
It's said, that he would get out if the other
standing candidates would. That he liked
a clean cut fight d would like to see the
two wings of the Republican party, or
gangs, whichever was the prettier word to
use, come together square. He thought it
was dangerous for the Avis gang to go into
the fight with three candidates, while the
Louders' had only one, and then, he said
"Fill' Cattell, the great Republican re-
former, might LICK both gangs, because, he
said, the people are hot for reform.
A level headed old committeeman from
down the county is alleged to have told the
committee that this strife was all vanity
anyway. The Democrats, he said, are
going to nominate ex-senator Ferrell for
County CLERK, aud he would beat even "Oldo
Frank on even ground. He said hundreds
Of Republicans have long been wishing for
chance 80 vote for Ferrell but could not
when he was a candidate for an Office like
Senator, but if he is nominated for busi-
ness Office like County Clerk, said he, they
will throw up their hats for him, and the
other Republicans who have always voted
for him will do it again, so will all the Demo-
Gratis, and he'll beat any candidate the Re-
publicans can name.
He thought y5ss was the year to let the
Republicans fight, and he hoped all the can
didates yet named would stand, and every
fellow who had an Office bee in his bonnet
would come n,and every man run his best,
and show bis leg and wind power.
After this speech the members had bust
ness outside and one by one they go into the
open air.

ThOs. N. Wentz'S House Struck.

During the storm last Monday night
lightning struck the farmhouse Of Thos. N.
Wentz, on the stone road near Wenonah.
A large buttonwood tree stands about five
feet from the corner Of the house, and this
receive the force of the bolt, as it is SCARED
from top to base, and four holes show in
the earth. The portion that entered the
at the cornor, splintered the post of a bed
stead and went to the room below where it
broke large looking glass in thousand
pieces, tore out window, scattered plaster
in all directions and hurled pieces Of a door
half way up stairs. The woodwork is
schorched but no fire followed. A dozen
window lights were broken. Mr. Wentz
and his family were drying from Wenonah

GIaSSbOrO Operator a Hero.

Thomas 0. Cord, who for several years
has been in charge Of the tower at the in
tersection of the Pennsylvania and the
Reading Railroad tracks, between Glassboro
station and South Glassboro, proved him
self hero last Thursday.
Stricken with paralysis while on duty he
fell unconscious. After laying in that con-
dition several moments be regained his
power of reasoning and crawled to the teIe-
graph instrument. He called Pitman Grove
and gave the operator there this message:
"Am ill. Get doctor. Come at once y
1t was poorly sent, but the words Gill =
doctor" and tcome" were understood
and it was delivered to the night operator
at the tower, who was spending the day at
the camp meeting grounds. He lost no
time in getting down to Glassboro, after
telephoning for a physician. When he
reached the tower Cord could only MUIR
mur, but he managed to say that an express
train was due in minute or two, and
give it the block.n Then the sick man
sank into Inconsistencies
The pluckiest deed of Mr.. Cord, how
ever, was his throwing the blocks for pass
ing trains during the time the night opera
tor was on his way there. He threw. the
switches properly. Had he not done so a
wreck with loss Of life would likely have
resulted. 1t was the afternoon of the
Fourth and travel on both roads was heavy.
Cords condition is critical. His left
side is paralyzed.

Another Analysis.

The Water Committee of Council has had
another analysis of the city water made,
this time by the State Board of Health.
The sample was taken from hydrant at
the curb near the railroad station. The
report OF the State chemist has been shown
us, and as we read it, the per cent. of
solids is parts in a million less than the
DIR. LeWall analysis, published in our issue
of June 27. But we are informed this
sample contains several parts of typhoid
fever germs. That may all be true, but ii
so the only spigot in town that contains
typhoid germs is the one near the railroad
station, because the only typhoid cases we
have had in Woodbury. are those of per-
sons who spend more time in Philadelphia
than here, and typhoid is epidemic there
the year round.
We hope the Water committee will find
all the bad there.is to be found in our city
water, and then make an effort to
purify it.

He attended the public schools in his Young
Ter days but became wage Garner in early
life and later became one of the best known
jersey He engaged in the lumber, char
coal and hoop hole business, at one time
operating three sawmills, at Wading River,
White Hall and Hospitality He also had
business interests in Pennsylvania, eonduc-
ted store where the store OF G. Fl. Gar
wood now stands, and owned the stag6
lines operating between Philadelphia and

the construction OF the West Jersey and

pense to be met by those who are most
interested. This means the manufacturers
and owners of the various trades.
By the support Of these men, the Trades
Schools could be established in the large
business centres of the country. The young
man or woman desiring to learn a trade
would be near such influence, and the EN-
ployer's wants would be.filled. Moreover,
differences between employer and employee
would be done away with and both would
come to better understanding Of the 9TH
er's rights and privileges.
In this manner, the great and important
question can be solved and the products Of
our shops and factores can be increased
without the aid Of foreign and inferior
workmen.
But this Utopian idea will meyer be
realized until the American boy and girl
comes to she knowledge that they are not
born to do nothing TO raise themselves from
being mere drones, but men and women, TO
| whom God has given the power to work
and not I'd be afraid Of honest toll, that viii

COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

1 The summer quarterly meeting OF the
Gloucester Co. Historical Society was held
at the Whitall mansion on the Bed Bank
battle ground on Tuesday afternoon. 70
The day was beautiful and a good sized
audience enjoyed the inyigoratiDg breezss
from the Delaware river, and listened to
several interesting and valuable papers re-
plete with local history. ca
DR.. Wallace McGeorge, of Camden, read
paper on "The Siege of Fort Miffiin, and
some account of some of its brave defend
ers.n In this paper which was read in full
view Of the fort across the river, the doctor
took extra pains to extol the brave action
and heroic services rendered by Lieut. Col.
Smith who assumed command owing 80 the
illness of the commandant. Records Of
Congress fail to mention these services aud
little is said about them in history, and
these services were some of the most inn
portant in Revolutionary times. He also
made especial mention Of Gen'I Franklin
Davenpors, resident OF Woodbury., and
who in its early days was prominent fig
ure in local, state and national affairs %
DR.. Geo. G. Laws, of Paulsboro, read a
paper on Trench Francis, once prominent
figure in these regions, living on the Para
disc farm, near Paulsboro. The doctor said
many men do as valuable service for theiI
country in other ways than on the field Of
battle, and many of them meriting great
honor, leave no record for others to emu
late. so
VIM. II. Snowden, a one-time resident Of
Mulliea Hill, presented sketch of Fort
Ellsburg, an extinct fort on the Delaware
near Salem, and the early Swedes on the
Delaware. He described the adventurous
times the early .Swedes experienced and the
envy shown by the Dutch, who overpower-
ed them and established Dutch rule Not
withstanding this the Swedes continued to
come to our side of the Delaware. They
were the forefathers of many Of our county
residents; their names still exist and the
heasr aud The thrift Of their na ases ars
still handed down and are exhibited in the
sterling qualities of many of our residents.
The papers we're all full of interest and
will be valuable additions to our local his
tory, and the meetings are we'll worth the
attendance of more of our citizens, and are
open to the public.
The next meeting will be held at the
Morayian church, near Harrisonville, on
August 81, when tablet will be unyeiled
with considerable ceremony.
The arrangements for this meeting are in
the hands Of special committee.

One Of our Local Troubles.

An aged gentleman who has lived here a
year asked one of our old residents yester-
day to whom he should pay his water rent.
Saws he, ST have rendered it to City Clerk
Estell, and he refused to receive it, and |
would like to know what to do" The old
citizen replied, ask Justice Char les G.
Garrison, at Moorestown, he's the best
authority know Of
Asa a matter Of information, and with no
desire to prejudice the situation. we will
say that many people are paying Mr.. VIII
mer, just as heretofore. His receipts for
water rents, we are informed. are greater
TO date than any previous July.
