An unmistakable demand for good common roads is being heard in all parts of the United States. This demand is rapidly growing in volume and is taking on the systematic organization which is essential to the success of such a movement. That bad roads in this country cause an enormous loss of money each year to those who use them may be clearly proved, but this fact is veiled from many persons because they have never known anything better. The farmers are the greatest sufferers. Where wagon wheels sink hub-deep in mud at some seasons, a farmer who has much hauling to do must keep one or two more horses than he would need if he had only hard, even roads to go over, and his loss in the wear and tear of horseflesh, harness and wagons is a heavy tax on his income. It often happens that a farmer finds the roads absolutely impassable with a loaded wagon just at the time when some of his produce would bring the highest price if he could but haul it to a railroad, and he is forced to wait and take a lower price later. Livery stable keepers and all other owners and users of horses and vehicles suffer in similar ways. In order to obtain better roads two things are necessary. The first is to create a general conviction that the improvement of highways is imperative, and that money wisely expended for this purpose is sure to return. The second requisite is to place all road making and mending under the charge of competent road builders. Various efforts to secure these ends are being made, and the aid of county and State

authorities, and even of the national government has been invoked to further the movement.

While it is very desirable that the highways of adjoining localities should be under some central supervision, so that they may be made to form a connected whole, it may yet be questioned whether the national government could be an effective agency in road improvement. Why, for instance, should the dwellers beyond the Mississippi and on the Pacific coast be taxed to maintain in Washington a school for road engineers and a museum of road construction that few, if any, of those distant communities could derive any benefit from? A more practical scheme would be to have instruction in road engineering given at each of the State colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts. In a country showing such wide differences in soil, rainfall, temperature and topography between different sections as the United States does, road building can be taught and administered far more efficiently by the State or the county than by the nation. There is need of much intelligent care in framing legislation in the interest of the movement for better roads. Annoying prohibitions should be no part of the policy of the road reformers. For instance, large loads carried on wheels having narrow tires cause great damage to roads; hence it has been proposed to prohibit narrow tires on heavy wagons. A much better policy is that adopted in Michigan, of giving a reduction of one-half their road taxes to those who will use broad tires. The movement for good roads shows a lusty vigor. The success that it has already achieved is splendid testimony to the efficiency of voluntary associations of individuals, and if its leaders continue to carry it on without the paralyzing patronage of the general government it is likely to attain great result.

IT IS generally supposed that there

are, as a rule, more women than men

in the world, and scientists have reasons to give us, satisfactory to themselves, why Providence should so ordain it;

but if Porter's census is to be believed the United States is an exception to that rule, it being stated therein that the

men are a million in the majority, the

figures being 32,000,000 men against

31,000,000 women. Men are said to be

in the majority in all the States and

Territories except in the District of Co-

lumbia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,

North Carolina, Maryland, Connecticut,

New Hampshire, New York, South Car-

olina, Virginia and New Jersey, in

which there are more women than men. The District of Columbia has the largest

proportionate excess of female population, and Montana contains the largest percentage of men. In New Jersey the two sexes are most nearly equally represented. SENATOR HENRY D. WINTON, of Ber-

gen county, one of the Democratic Sen-

ators who voted against the race-track bills last winter, ventures the opinion that in two-thirds of the counties of the State candidates for the Legislature will have to pledge themselves to the repeal of those laws, it matters not what their politics may be, and if they

do not, the people will see that they are beaten. The legislation, he con-

tends, was an insult to the decent and moral element of our people, and the Democratic party had no right to be saddled with the opprobium of such vicious legislation. NEW JERSEY premonitions of a large and juicy peach crop affords a fair setoff against the early spring reports that the crop had been winter-killed. CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. WOODBINE.

The clothing factory of Willis & Co. was sold by Sheriff Hand on Saturday

to satisfy a large claim for wages due J. L. Huper. Woodbine will soon have a large hat factory.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE. The residents of Wildwood, Anglesea and Holly Beach, the Five Mile Beach

reports, will soon have a waterworks. The twelfth annual commencement of the Cape May county public schools was held at this place yesterday.

SEA ISLE CITY. City Council will probably assist the University of Pennsylvania Biological

Laboratory at this place with a dona-

tion of $300. Miss Emma Campbell was the first person to graduate from the Sea Isle City public schools since the founding of the resort. OCEAN VIEW. The funeral of Dr. Palmer M. Way, who died last Wednesday at his residence, took place on Saturday. He was 87 years of age, and settled in Cape

May county in 1865. He was a member of the Masonic Order for 66 years, and continued in the practise of his profession up to within a few years. The services were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a member. He leaves a widow and six children. Two of his sons, Julius War and Eugene Way, are physicians. CAPE MAY CITY. An independent military company has been organized by ex-members of Company H, Sixth Regiment, N. G. N. J., which was recently disbanded. J. T. Bailey, late first lieutenant of Company H, is the captain, Lemuel E. Miller first lieutenant and Charles S. Stevens second lieutenant. A military company at Bridgeton is endeavoring to gain admission to the National Guard in place of Company H. Twenty-one years ago Anna M. Snyder, then 9 years of age, and now Mrs. D. Morrell Woolson, of Fishing Creek, lost one of her ear-rings while playing in the edge of the woods with her sister,

now Mrs. Frank Barnett. Friday Mrs.

Barnett found the lost ring, in perfect condition, in the soil, the land having been bleared and farmed for several years past. The Franklin Electric Light Company has paid its creditors in full, and proceedings in the Court of Chancery asking for a Receiver have been discontinued. The purchase of the Philadelphia and Seashore Company by Logan M. Bullitt, Thomas Robb and a syndicate of Philadelphia and Cape May capital-

ists from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been hailed with delight by the residents and business men of this city. The road is in good working order as far as Petersburg, and it is reported that the new company, after its organization this week will at once issue orders for the road's completion to this place. TUCKAHOE. Rev. J. E. Camp has been installed pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Tuckahoe Tribe, No. 129, I. O. R. M., will hold a celebration on June 11th at this place. Captain Enoch Ingersoll and wife journeyed to English Creek Sunday to visit her sister, Mrs. Ray Champion. A fire started on Sunday near Mount Pleasant Station, but they soon succeeded in extinguishing it. Captain Enoch Ingersoll visited his family Saturday. Captain Reuben C. Young went to Philadelphia on Monday on business. David Smith, of English Creek, spent Sunday with friends in this place. Richard Townsend and wife, of Palermo, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Champion. Thomas Williams, wife and son, of Philadelphia, visited Mr. and Mrs. Seth Birdsall. Rev. M. M. Fogg, of Palermo, preached in the Tuckahoe Baptist Church on Sunday. Mrs. Martie Newman was taken to the Insane Asylum at Trenton the first of the present week. Samuel Champion moved to Millville Wednesday.

Rev. A. Dalbow is here for a week. The M. E. Mite Society's entertainment was a financial success. Miss Britts, of Philadelphia, is visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Seth Birdsall. In Memoriam. At a regular meeting of the Miami Tribe, No. 99, I. O. R. M., of English Creek, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, In the wisdom of the All-wise God who seen fit to remove from among us our late sister, Lydia A.

Resolved, That our charter be draped in mourning for three months. Resolved, That Miami Tribe, No. 99, English Creek, extend our sympathy to the bereaved family in this their trial and sorrow, and that we recommend

Crepon, with silk embroidered swivel figures, 44 in., $2.50 and $3. The latest and richest. Camel's Hair Grenadine--Lupin's. 44 in., $1, $1.25 and $1.50. Grenadine with satin stripes, 3 varieties, 22 1/2 in., $1. Fancy Colored Crepon. There is a true and a false use of the word Crepon. Many alleged Crepons are false Cretons.

Fresh lots, just here, silk-and-wool, true Crepons. The colors are choice and rare, glimmering, iridescent, 46 in., $2.50. You'll see them of course. Why then describe? Hardly a broken lot in the long line of Dress Goods for Evening Wear. Ask for any of the daintiest shades of cream, light blue, nile, gray, shrimp, pink, lavender, maize, heliotrope

Yes, here they are in Lans-

downe, Penelope, Suralaine and Plusbelle at $1.25; in Challis and Albatross at 50c; in Henrietta at 65c, 75c, 85c, $1; in Cashmere at 37 1/2 and 50c; in Wool Crepon at $1. Latest and loveliest in every way. Some of the newest and prettiest of the Scotch Ginghams have been touched with the blue pencil. The littler-price ladder now reaches to the very cloud land of Gingham excellence. 12 1/2c Ginghams at 8c 25c Ginghams at 10c 45c Ginghams at 25c 65c Ginghams at 37 1/2c 16c printed Cambric and 20c striped Poplins at 12 1/2c are two more of the unexpecteds.

There's a best, of course, the "Thistle Brand"--made expressly for us and worked into just the neatest and most serviceable. Overgarments by men tailors.

ments have generous sleeves, and can be worn over any of the dresses or coats of the day.

Men's Spring Clothes. A great store full of all good sorts. Suits, Ten Dollars. Ten Dollars is powerful in

Men's Spring Suits. How nearly imperial you will know when you see the various Che-

viots in Sack Coat Suits at that price. There are Suits at Twelve Dollars. In appearance you'd judge them as made to order at $25. If you buy and wear a Suit of them your surprise will be that it was not $25. Trousers at $3, beautiful. Tasteful men wear them and quite properly think themselves well dressed. If the boy (3 to 7 years) is to have a Zouavish Suit $4, $4.50, $5 or $6.50 will give you the choice of more styles and better qualities than we know of anywhere else. So of the Shepherd Plaid Knee Trousers at 75c, or the Wool Knee Trousers at $1 (usually $1.50 and $1.75). Either in sizes 4 to 15. If the Floor Linen did nothing but keep the carpet clean it would be an extra good investment. But it helps to keep the moths away as well. Floor width, 53 to 180 in.; stair width, 14 to 36 in. Rooms measured free. Tennis Rackets. The Wanamaker Specials have been in sight for five years. We have said of them from the first. "Equal to any costing a third more." Truer than ever now.
