THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1893.

Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter. LIKE the charity that covers a multitude of sins, the towns of May's Landing and Sea Isle, to many of the metropolitan newspaper correspondents, seem to embrace about all the telegraphic points in this State, south of Camden. All the accounts of forest fires in Gloucester county, catches of fish off Angle-

sea, politics in Salem and glass blowers' strikes in Millville, published in most of the big city dailies, are dated at one

or the other of these places, leading to

the presumption that a conspiracy ex-

ists to boom the town lots at these places

and that reporters have been let in on the ground floor.

A DAY OF RETRIBUTION. If the gamblers of this state think that because the people are no longer holding mass meetings, etc., to protest against the damnable legislation of last winter, they are satisfied to accept present conditions they are greatly in error. The people of New Jersey are still nursing in their hearts the wrath they feel against those villains who, lost to all decency, last winter placed the brand of dishonor on the fair fame of our state. A day of retribution is coming and the punishment will not be less severe because it is long delayed. The people are doing a deal of an amount of thinking out of which will issue some-

thing which will consume those who have so villainously sinned against the body politic. SUMMER RESORTS IN 1893. Two months ago the impression was general that the Chicago Exposition would greatly reduce the attendance at the summer resorts. The opening of the season has found this a mistake. The Chicago Exposition has reduced

the travel abroad, though not to any great extent. It has also diminished the trips to a distance in this country, and the transfer of families at the opening of the summer to distant resorts in New England; but the attendance at places on the New Jersey coast is fully up to the average and the season has opened propserously.

A good reason exists for this. No sensible person cares to spend the sum-

mer at Chicago, and a brief trip there of two or three weeks is the utmost most people expect. This, however, is a costly luxury at current railroad rates and charges, and those who have hitherto taken distant and more expensive trips retrench and spend the summer

near at home. Scarcely any one who leaves town in the summer at all is

likely to let the trip to Chicago take the place of their entire outing, though they seek nearby and less expensive re-

sorts. THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. What right has a newspaper man to seek office? None at all. His business is to try to get an office for the "other fellow," to sound the praise of the candidate and keep his own feelings perfectly quiet; to "whoop her up" for his man, and let his man forget all about him when he is elected; to defend his candidate against the unjust attacks of the opposition, and see whatever favors his candidate has to bestow go to the other fellow. It is also his business to boom the town for all it is worth, month after month; to defend it against the aspersion of rival towns, and then in return to see much of the printing go to other places because they get it done a few cents cheaper. It is the business of the newspaper to give every enterprise a frequent "send off," and catch a genuine "tongue lashing" because he had failed to mention that some prominent citizen had been absent a few days visiting friends, or that some distinguished friend from a distance had visited him. It is his business to subscribe liberally to every public, charitable and church entertainment; frequently advertise them gratuitously; generally pay his own way to everything and then be called prejudiced, uncharitable and mean-spirited because a large space in his paper is not devoted to the furtherance of these undertakings to the ex-

clusion of other matter.

Do you wonder that there are so many cranks in the newspaper business. ENVY. Envy is the most undesirable quality which can fall to the lot of man. Nothing is so repulsive to a high-minded and upright character as this fallen spirit which enthrones itself in the hearts and minds of individuals. Success is the aim of every man. There are those who reach it by industry and upright dealings. There are those who attain success through mental superiority and genius. Some men are born to succeed. Poverty, physical infirmity and oppression can no more keep these men down than can clouds hinder the sun from rising. They may obscure their brightness for a time, but the dazzling individuality will show itself after awhile. Such men are the targets at which Envy aims its darts. Let a man attain position either in the professional or business world and these envious fellows immediately band together to seek his overthrow. They know that he is gifted with ability which transcends their own and this fact fills their hearts with gall. If they attempt to battle with him in open conflict they find themselves speedily worsted, and hence slander him behind his back. Of all the devils incarnate, Envy is the greatest. It feeds, however, on its own vitals and the envious man nurses in his heart a fire which is unquenchable. He suffers ten thousand times more than the person he slanders. More than this, the envy he nurses in his breast cannot be hid from the world at large. It sees what actuates the contemptible innuendo or insinuation which is expressed and honest men despise and loath the envious person as something which contaminates to look upon. He goes down to the grave de-spised--forsaken--and his name sinks to oblivion's death. Switchback Cars Crash. A terrible accident befel nine pleasureseekers to Cape May Point who were enjoying a ride on the switchback cars near the steamboat landing on Wednesday of last week. They were partici-

pants in an excursion conducted by the Christian Endeavor Society of Delaware county, Pa., on the Republic, and were all residents of that section. The worst injured are: Miss Lydia Woodward, aged 17 years, of Boone, scalp lacerated and probable concussion of the brain. Arthur Harris, aged 22 years, Darby, ankle broken. Sarah McDougall, aged 20 years, Eddystone, thigh torn by a splinter. Nellie Crowe, aged 22 years, Eddystone, neck sprained and back badly bruised.

Eliza Bowes, Eddystone, ankle badly

sprained and body contused. The other four injured were men, who were only slightly bruised and cut. Fully twenty-four hundred people were on the boat when she reached the Point, and during the afternoon quite

a number were riding in the large roller

coaster cars. Suddenly one of the cars jumped a frog and rashed away with terrible speed on the wrong track. On the steepest part of the incline the runaway car crashed into another coming in the opposite direction. Both cars were smashed to splinters and their eleven occupants were thrown into the air, falling through the trestle work to the ground. They were removed to the boat and medical aid summoned from Cape May City. Miss Woodward, who is a beautiful young lady, was carried aboard the boat unconscious and remained in that condition until Philadelphia was reached, except for a few minutes. She then asked for water, but immediately lapsed into unconsciousness after drinking it. Her injuries are considered extremely dangerous and Dr. McClelland, of Dar-

by, who accompanied the excursion, watched her constantly on the long trip up the river. With Mr. Harris she was removed to the Presbyterian Hospital, Philadelphia, as soon as the Republic reached her wharf. All others were able to leave the boat at Chester and were taken home. The crash of the flying cars is de-

scribed by witnesses as something terrible, and how the occupants escaped instant death seems miraculous. Both

were rushing down the steep inclines

and for seconds that seemed like hours their passengers and the spectators saw the terrible danger. The conductors

made frantic efforts to stop the cars,

but in vain, and they crashed together with awful force, while the passengers

screamed with terror. All were thrown

in a heap on the ground, two alone es-

caping unhurt.

The collision was the result of an ac-

cident entirely, the wheels taking the

wrong track for some unexplained

reason, and once started could not be stopped.

Inventor of the Steamboat.

Governor Fuller's paper before the Professional club Monday evening was of unusual public interest, from the fact that it presented in a concise and connected way the indisputable record of facts which show that Samuel Morey of Fairlee was the first man who ever invented, built and ran a steamboat. There is a vague impression in the public mind that Morey made some sort of an imperfect attempt to run a steamboat on the Connecticut river at Fairlee, but it is not generally known that, besides his experiments there at his own home, he ran a steamboat from Hartford to New Haven, and that he built at Bordentown, N. J., a larger boat which he ran between that place and Philadelphia. A model of his boat was exhibited in

New York city, and his invention at-

tracted the attention of Robert Fulton, the Livingstons and others who were studying the problem of steam navigation. Fulton indeed made practical application of the invention to commercial use, but Morey, the Vermonter, was the original inventor beyond any question. --Brattleboro Phoenix.

The citizens residing in the vicinity of the May's Landing Court House were treated to a novel sight Thursday evening on seeing a large wild deer jump over the Court House fence and run down the main avenue of the town.

The animal ran into several yards, and

afterward took refuge in a swamp opposite the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dogs were put on its trail, and soon had the deer running again. It ran into the yard back of the Mansion House, where it was captured. On being examined, it was found to have been badly injured in the neck and abdomen, caused by striking the iron pickets of the Court House fence when leaping over it. A doctor attempted to dress the wounds, but the animal died soon after its capture, caused by exhaustion and injuries received.

Increased Fare to the Sea.

Rumor has it, and the foundation seems to be a pretty strong one, too, that commencing with July 1st the fare to Atlantic City over all three of the railroad lines will be $1.75, an increase of 25 cents.

For some time the increase has been in contemplation by the Pennsylvania

and Reading companies, it is said, and several conferences have taken place between representatives of the two interests with the result given above. Besides the increase of fare the competition between the two lines to beat each other in time, which was particularly strong last season, will be discontinued and eighty-five minutes is likely to be the minimum speed. Railroad men say that such an arrangement as this became an absolute necessity, as the Atlantic City branches of all three lines have been running behind for several years. This was caused not only by the competition that reduced the fare, but the competition in speed played havoc with the profits. The equipments demanded were of a high grade and each of the two operating powers raced for an eighty-minute speed that made the cost of running the road very high. They declare the public will not mind the five minutes added nor the twenty-five cent increase, both of which will meet the demands of the stockholders. The statement is also made that the Camden and Atlan-

tic road has paid no dividend for some years and that the West Jersey and Atlantic City were enabled to do so be-

cause of the profits on other branches.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA. Monday, July 19, 1893. It was an ill wind for the importer that belated these best French Sateens. It blew well for you, mayhap. Meant to have been here a month ago; meant to be 35c a yard. But here they are at 18c! How straight and sure such lots come to Wanamaker's!

Scheurer, Lauth & Co.'s Sateens, Freres, Koechlin & Co.'s Sateens. Names to conjure with throughout the Sateen world whenever quality or style is in question. Nearly 200 new patterns.

More than 10,000 yards.

Of course there's a choice--the women know that well enough. Irish lawns from Yankee looms keep the fingers of a dozen salespeople on the fly measuring, tearing, measuring, tearing. Perhaps a hundred styles, 38 in., 12 1/2c. Not every one can see a cyclone, not every one cares to, but you can guess at the work a cyclone does by glancing down the long Cotton Goods aisle just before bell rings, any evening. Dress patterns and short lengths flying out all day long, armsful at a time, so empty shelves and scatter pieces that it doesn't seem that trade winds alone could have done it. Get Priestly's name on any sort of Dress Goods and your needn't question further--not even on Grenadine. Quality, color, weave will surely be right. These All-wool Black Plaid Grenadines are Priestley's. Regular $1 goods at 50c. An 8-yard Dress pattern costs but $4. Think of a Priestley Grenadine at $4 the Dress! Plain black All-wool Challis--best wool, weave and dye--was never within easier reach. 38 in., 37 1/2c, regular 50c kind. 38 in., 50c, regular 65c kind. 40 in., 75c, regular 85c kind. 42 in., $1, regular $1.25 kind. China Mattings for the Summer floor, of course, Fresher, airier, cooler, cleaner than Carpet. And with five such special lots in sight the merest pinch of money is enough to do for a room. 360 rolls China Mattings, weighing 65 lbs. to the roll of 40 yds., at $5.50. Wanamaker's. 115 rolls Fancy Japan Matting, inlaid figures, at $8.50 from $9.50. 75 rolls extra heavy Japan Matting at $7 from $8.50. 87 rolls heavy seamless China Matting, five patterns, at $10.30 from $14. 90 rolls best Joined Matting at $8 from $10. Matting Rugs--cool bits for here, there or anywhere.
