Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter. THE DAILY REPORTER. Before another number of the SENTINEL has gone forth on its mission of enlightenment and education, a new publication, under the above caption, will have been launched upon the journalistic sea in Ocean City. The paper will be published in the interest of Ocean City, and all who feel a pride in the town should give it substantial aid. Its several departments will be under the direction of men trained to the business whose energies and talents will be devoted to making it a faithful chronicler of passing events

and reflect credit upon the place of its

nativity. It will be a purely local paper. Although this may seem to be a bold

journalistic stroke, entailing as it does the outlay of large sums of money, yet the projector feels that the time has come when such an enterprise will re-

ceive the enthusiastic support of both private and public interests.

Less pretentious towns support daily

papers, why not Ocean City?

As the new venture will put into circulation a large amount of money weekly, the business people should give it their patronage as a matter of policy. THE cordial greeting of Mrs. General Grant to Mrs. Jefferson Davis at West Point a few days ago may not seem

significant or extraordinary to the present generation, but to those who

lived through the fierce partisanship of

the war period, the reconciliation, as it

were, of the wives of two great leaders

in the controversy is a fresh assurance

that the bitterness of the past has departed. Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Davis were both the wives of West Point graduates, who are now dead, and that is a bond that makes them sympathetic. But thirty years ago Jefferson Davis seemed to the North the incarnation of all that was treasonable and disloyal. It seemed impossible that the loyal people of the North should ever become reconciled to him or to any one of his name or blood. General Grant was only less in favor at the South until his magnanimous conduct at Appomattox swept away all prejudice against him. And now the widows of these two great figures in the war of the Rebellion meet within sight of the nation's college, where both their husbands were trained for battle--and they meet as friends.

SOMERS' POINT is a locality which

may enjoy the possession and distribu-

tion of a peculiar brand of the potent fluid for the production of which this state is celebrated--among confirmed topers--for the most marvellous sights are reported as having been witnessed there by visitors and residents. There would appear to be an almost perpetual mirage there from the accounts of ves-

sels seen sailing, keep uppermost, among

the clouds, and wind-mills, houses and trees in reversed positions. Anything that tends to turn things upside down in this fashion calls for the attention of temperance reformers, and perhaps also for the notice of Internal Revenue col-

lectors.--Newark News.

SURGEON GENERAL WYMAN thinks

that we have an even chance of escap-

ing the cholera altogether this year, and it is to be hoped that that chance will be decided favorably. Cholera,

however, is not the only dread disease

which is brought to our shores by shipping. Yellow and typhus fevers and small-pox are quite as undesirable. Fortunately, our National Quarantine regulations, while susceptible of some improvement, particularly in the matter of extension, were never in better form and contemplate the extirpation of disease rather than the crippling of ocean traffic.

THE funniest thing yet in connection

with the opening of the World's Fair

on Sunday is the statement sent out by the management that steps will now be taken for the holding of religious services at the fair on Sundays. Only those clergymen who have advocated the

opening on that day will be invited to preach. We are unable to say whether

this is a satire on religion or on the fair. Some things in connection with the exposition have been simply disgusting, but we think this last ridiculous pronunciamento from the management caps the climax.

THE Prohibitionists have gained a victory in the Court of Errors, and now they can vote without first securing official ballots by petition. Judge Dixon, whose decision is final, has decided that

a voter can erase all printed matter from his ticket. The test suit was

brought by a Prohibitionist who had

been fined $25 for voting on an unofficial ballot. IT IS SAID that J. S. Clarkson desires to succeed Senator Wilson, of Iowa, in the United States Senate. This is a laudable ambition and Clarkson could probably fit the bill. Once in the Senate he would make things exceedingly interesting, especially to the Democrats. He would make an able Senator. MAKING LACE PAPER. MINNEAPOLIS HAS THE ONLY FACTORY OF THE KIND HERE. How a New Industry In Which Germany Excels Came to be Established In This Country--As Yet It Is In Its Infancy. Nice Work For Women.

Minneapolis can claim a monopoly in

at least one industry. There is none like it in the country. Germany is the nearest competitor. The lace paper factory here is the only one in the country. How the industry came to be established here and the development of certain

possibilities in regard to it make quite an original story.

A certain business man tolerably well

known in Minneapolis once upon a time

loaned some money and material to a Russian immigrant who was trying to

start a greenhouse in St. Paul. The florist was very grateful for the help, but at the end of six months had not repaid any of the loan. The business man hunted him up and inquired wherefore this negligence. The florist explained his difficulties at some length, and sorrowfully averred that in addition to other burdens he had to support his brother. "Why doesn't your brother go to work?" "Paron, sir. He is honest and industrious, but can find no work at his trade." "What trade can that be?" "He is a lace paper maker and there are no factories of that sort here, and

he has not much chance at other trades

where he has no skill. An interview with the paper maker re-

vealed some interesting facts, and after some investigation several Minneapolis capitalists concluded to start a factory

to evolve the dainty confections that modern ingenuity says may be made from paper. The industry is still so new

that its present condition may be regarded as only an earnest of the future. The fad for fancy lamp shades makes a special department which was not at first contemplated. Crape paper develops in all the soft, dainty sheen of silk. Women are specially good at this branch

of the industry, as it requires patience and that peculiar "knack" which no man

ever had, and the woman who possesses it is luckier than if she had beauty, though she never thinks so herself.

Now, this business of making lamp

shades and flower pots and paper flowers and dolls is light, clean work and pays well if a woman has the bent for that kind of work. The prettiest lamp shades I ever saw were being made at the factory. The tobacco leaf forms the latest model. Two contrasting shades of crape paper form the leaf. It is cut in the proper shape, and a delicate wire forms the mid rib of the leaf and makes the shade substantial enough to stand wear. Four

long leaves and four shorter ones droop

from a common center and make the daintiest shade imaginable. I saw a tiny one of this same pattern for an incandescent light. The red leaves were lined with pale yellow, and how the electric light did glow through the blended colors! A skillful workwoman can only construct four or five of these shades a day. Their price consequently doesn't exactly bring them within the reach of all, but they promise to largely take the place of silk and illusion. The operative earns from $8 to $10 a week in the shade department. Lace paper for lining the edges of boxes really forms the important part

of this industry. Look at a bit of this dainty paper and see how faithfully it reproduces every thread of the lace from

which it is copied. When people are told that these delicate patterns are stamped from engraved metal plates, they are apt to look incredulous. Still that is the process. For many years Germany has controlled this industry. The consul at Berlin in his last annual report states that 7,000,000 pounds of lace paper are exported annually to the United States. One fine day good fortune befell the industry. A man came in and asked for employment. He was a designer and engraver of plates from Germany. He declined to give any information as to how he knew the factory was in Minneapolis or why he came. He simply said they could try his work, and if they were satisfied he would stay. He has remained ever since. I saw him several times and didn't wonder that there was some hesitancy about engaging him. He weighs about 325 pounds. The face is intelligent and refined, but the bushy

beard and long hair, combined with the

muscular frame, give the man an appearance of one used to vigorous manual labor. Appearances are deceptive in this case, for he is an artist as well as an engraver, and knows every detail of the business. He first sketches the design on paper, then takes a block of lead composition, similar to that used for newspaper cuts, and draws the exact pattern with a sharp steel point. Then, with finely graded chisels, he hammers out every little detail so exact that the tiniest thread of the tiniest lace is visible. To see the workman hammering out an intricate pattern one would think it an endless task. It is not, however, nearly so tedious as it looks. This engraver will make a plate 20 inches long by 2 inches wide in four days. All the edges of the pattern have to be made in sharp relief instead of being cut into the plate, as in ordinary engraving. This has to be done so that the sharp edges will perforate the paper when the cylinder passes over the plate. Lace paper has its styles just the same as the real article. The young lady who gets her daily box of bonbons from the confectioner wants the lace edged holder to be in the latest mode. She can also select torchon, valenciennes, spanish,

guipure, breton or any other style in

the paper just as she can in the thread. Among the pretty imported notions is that of a cornucopia with deep lace edge and closed with dainty bows of satin ribbons. This is to hold matinee or theater allowance of candy and will probably be very popular.--Eva Mc-Donald-Valesh in Minneapolis Tribune. Farce Comedies and Theaters. A manager in New York--not the man one would have expected to say it, either --declares that farce comedies are working a general injury to theatrical interests: "To the legitimate theaters, be-

cause they are taking people away from them; to the public, because they are

lowering standards of taste; to the variety shows, because they are being constantly recruited from them, and to the actors, as a class, because they induce a

man to give up honest work and play at the gallery."--New York Sun.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, June 26, 1893. This Store!

It is The Midway Plaisance One block From Broad Street Station, From Twelfth Street Station.

Convenient for strangers--because

Near Public Buildings Near U. S. Mint

Chestnut St. cars pass the door

Market St. cars pass the door

At entrance door: Bureau of Information, Place to Check Baggage,

At centre of store:

Resting Room,

Ladies' large Parlor,

Toilet Rooms.

In Basement:

Gentlemen's Parlor, Toilet Rooms,

Refreshment Rooms. The store is not simply a shopping place, but a place

to visit. The exhibition changes every day. Eleven

elevators are going up and down to all the floors.

If any store is cooler than another in hot weather it should be this, because its windows and doors open on all four sides to the streets, and fresh air is constantly brought into the basement and distributed by pipes. The outside of the store still retains its old-fashioned shell, but the inside is the surprise. The floors measure more than fifteen acres. The stock is kept up in season and out, and is believed to be the largest and most comprehensive of any retail store in the world. A shopper can keep under one umbrella (our roof) and see merchandise from every quarter of the globe, and get almost any article and always at exact value. Doubtless we could do the business better, but we are close students and surely improving every day.

Open at 8 and close at 6. Saturday afternoon holidays begin after next week. Citizens are welcome to use the aisles of the store in passing to and from the railroad stations. A special invitation to visitors and persons passing through the city to stop over and see the store. Perhaps you cannot come to the store. No matter, you have but to write for what you want, and that letter or postal

sets maybe a dozen people on the go--and all for you. There are picking and compar-

ing and running here and there, and after the choice comes the writing down and figuring up, and packing and sending. And when the quick package comes to you in California, or Maine, or Texas, or where not, all this extra work

doesn't take one more cent from your pocket!
