WasuntOTOx, April 10.— An Associated PriSn reporter liaa been permiited , to copy tbe following paragraph from a print* letter dated Naples. March 27 th.,' bad received to-day by Senator Halo > from Ida brother, Mr. Clarence Hale, a lawyer, of Portland, Me., who is now . traveling abroad: ' "I have pained the last four or live daya - With the Blaine? and have enjoyed It * very much lu this flue country of South- ^ urn Italy, In weather which Is our best June weatheT. I have lust left the Blalnet at Sorrento, where they will C May some time longer, I think. Mr. Blaine 1s looking finely and is in the best of spirits." According to the offlclal minutes of ® the late session of the New Jersey M. I E. Conference the church having the s largest membership In the Conference is * Broadway, Camden, with 875; the first i Church, Millviile, being second, with 106; the Third street, Camden, third, , with 670. Other churched with large, f memberships are Broad street, Burlington, with 519; Green street. Trenton, Ml; h Trbemacle, Camden, 020: Commerce j street, Brldgeton. 648; Trinity, Millviile, c 566. The church having the largest •- Sunday school Is Broadway, Camdcr.. t It has 1906 scholars. The highest sal- , try paid ministers is 62000, which Is <- done by Slate Btreet, Trenton, and Cen- ( Lenary and Third street, Camden. In the matter of salaries but one pays V 11700, one 61500. two 61400, five 610 do, thirteen 61300 and twenty-two 61000. There arc 998 churchs it. the Conference, 1 >nd of that number but forty -seven pay c i salary exceeding 61000. The missing link in the chain of evi- . dence against Samuel Johnson, condemned for the murder of John Shan>- s less, seems to have been found in the . person of Alexander Btokea, who told a Sswrtf reporter Tuesday what he knew a of Johnson's whereabouts on the day of the murder. This seems to fix Johnson's PiUt. ___ t A Georgia fanner made 6100 olf an j acre planted in watermelons, and a , neighboring doctor made 6300 off Uie ^ UJatumatrr's. rwrnrreiran, Mtblsy.

There's been almost a revolution since last Spring tn goods. • We're years away from last year's designs. You know "what a mint of clothing we keep. •We're bound to make it true and up to the Wanamaker stamp always. A string of items as long , as a County Sale Notice couldn't say more than our guarantee. That you can depend on. firmly. It's the beauty of it that we're making a taller claim for than ever. It doesn't admit of exaggeration. From Men's Clothing and Young Men's down to the Small Boys', it's full of the nicest styles ever inside our doors. The Spring Overcoats are very stylish ! Now, for tne other end. Let us make the business size up to the clothing. If it docs, every man and boy within reach of us will have a new Wanamaker & Brown Spring Suit on his back within a few weeks. We want to reach that point, and we're ready for a hard and steady pull of work to do it. The prices will be where Oak Hall prices always are — hitched to the smallest" profit we can afford to take.
