! On Sunday there was quite de-
mand at the drugstores for the essence
of lemon and Jamaica ginger. The
requests for these two articles were
made by boys. One of the wouldbe
purchasers was in uniform of the

the ship was rolling hard or whether

Following their usual inclination not to make
public demonstrations of any events connect
ed with their lives they did not have large
celebration of the event but enough of it was
known to cause a number of friends to gather
and congratulate the couple on their reaching
a period in their lives which is not always the
fortune of married people.
gentleman of Mount Holly was driving
through Camden Saturday evening when ne
was halted by the uplifted hand of police
man. With the idea that maybe ne mad. un-
violated some ordinance, the
Iiceman came forward and said he was selling
tickets for benefit for the police department
and asked the gentleman to buy one The
benefit does not take place until February.
This may be a good way to sell tickets or it |
may be fine piece of humor. but it mas the
ook of blackmail. But perhaps it is not TO be |
wondered at when it happens in Camden.

ects of the day, they certainly were accom-
nodated, but in view of some recent events it
J questionable whether the plain presentation
4 the minister's views were entirely in ac-
ordance with the ideas of his hearers. How

make up their minds that he will tell them
That he thinks is right
After the election Samuel Wilson, who is
n agent OF the anti-saloon league, came out
a letter in which he assailed former Gov
rnor Stokes, accusing the latter of being a
ypocrite and various other things of that
ort and putting upon him the blame for the
efeat of candidate Bugbee- OF course the
ormer Governor back in his usual dig
flied and forceful manner in which he
bowed that Mr. Wilson who also travels un-
er the cognomen of reverend was entirely
1rong, if not untruthful in many of his ac-
'lsations. Mr.. Wilson retorted. but did not
dvance any arguments, contenting himself
nth slurs that did not hurt anybody but HIM
elf. Not content with accusing people of
grong doing Wilson went into the courts and
ttempted to have liquor license in Jersey
,ity revoked Chief Justice sGummere, in his
pinion, said that he could not see how any
itizen could be aggrieved if a saloon keeper
eceived liquor license and hung it on the

he chief justice wanted to know how it was
'ossible for Wilson or the whole citizenship
f New Jersey to be affected by the mere
ranting Of a license, and declared that if
Wilson, as the prosecutor in this case, sought

my further reply to his assailant. 1t is a
,retty safe assertion that Wilson will not
write an open letter" to the court on the
