THURSDAY, NOV. 30, 1893.

Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter.

THE attendance at the World's Fair aggregated over twenty-one millions of people. Four hundred ticket-sellers and takers handled this enormous

crowd. A report of their official actions has been made, showing that during the entire time they were on duty only 175 errors were made. No one of these was important. The crowds grew and fell off; they rallied and as-

sumed almost appalling size, but the

work of gathering in their little halfdollars went on with a precision that was marvelous. In fact it was one of many marvelous features of a marvelous undertaking.

A QUEER REASON. This administration is certainly con-

trary, if it is nothing else. It has been kept so busy finding fault with and trying to undo everything that was

done by the Harrison administration that it has done nothing itself. One of the latest cases of fault finding is con-

tained in the annual report of the First Assistant Postmaster General, which declares that the experiment of free delivery in small towns and villages is a failure, and recommends that it be suspended at the close of the current year. The report very graciously admits that the free delivery was, when first established in the small towns and villages, received with satisfaction and delight, but it then makes the remarkable statement that as soon as the novelty wore off the residents found it more convenient to call at the village post-office for their mall than to leave it brought to their houses by the carriers. We have not the data to dispute the assertion that the village free mail delivery is a failure, although we believe that the residents of the villages in which the experimental service now exists will, through their Congressmen, successfully do so.

WHAT THEN?

Almost without exception, though from different motives, the press of the United States is asking two questions:

First, after repeal, what? and second, after the McKinley act, what? Their at-

tempts to answer their own inquiries are not wholly satisfactory. The South and Populist West say State banks, no bonds and a tariff-for-revenue only. The East, except in the importing centres, asks, even in the Democratic centres, for some degree of pro-

tection, the continuance of national banks and, if need be, a new issue of bonds for the maintenance of our credit.

Both pretend to believe that what they want will be the outcome of the situation, but neither is assured of its faith. The mongrel majority which will sit in Congress for the next two sessions scarcely knows what it will do itself and as long as that is the case no one else can know. But if the people of this country had their way there would be no uncertainty on the question of what they would prescribe. Only fools or children play with fire in a house that is already in flames. No tariff reduction, no fiat or rag money, no government pawn shops for Populists or any one else, no coin made from Edison's wheat or Peffer's beard--these are some of the things which they would not put under the ban and keep there until the lessons of experience had been forgotten. Let well enough alone!

A Warning to Boys.

The felonious entering of unoccupied cottages by some of our young boys has become so frequent of late as to call for decisive action upon the part of agents having such buildings in charge, and has led to the arrest of a number of the depredators. At a hearing before Mayor Moore last week one was fined $3.50 and costs, while another was put under a $1000 bond to keep the peace, and the others discharged with a reprimand. The offenders were all quite young, and to this fact can be attributed the leniency of the prosecutor in not insisting upon severer punishment. We hope the lesson will have a salutary effect upon those who have been guilty of such acts of lawlessness. A repetition of the offense will be punished to the full extent of the law.

Historic Papers Found. Judge Jesse D. Ludlam of this county, while searching over some old papers of his grandfather, Henry Swain, and grand-uncle, Joshua Swain, found the letters patent for the center-board, or "lee board," as it was called, which was first patented by their father, Jacob Swain, a builder who lived at Seaville, twenty miles north of Cape May. It was patented in 1811, and was the first of its kind in the country. The patent called for building the board in the center of the keel and a keelson, the patentees made little money out of the invention. The letters patent are dated at Washington, April 10th, 1811, and signed by James Madison, President; James Monroe, Secretary of State, and C. A. Rodney, Attorney General. The quaint schedule is very long and full of repetition.

STEELMANVILLE. There was quite a sensation in this and adjoining communities on Friday last over the law suit that came off between Daniel Babcock and his wife, she having sued him for maintainance; but she lost the case, it being proved that she left him when he was willing to take care of her. The suit came off before Squire Tallman, Lawyer Millard Steelman for defendant; but did not learn the name of lawyer for plaintiff. The jury was not long in rendering a verdict in his favor.

Through accidentally puncturing his hand with a lead pencil last week, Dr. L. W. Armstrong is confined to his home with his arm swollen to an abnor-

mal size from blood poisoning. His condition is becoming alarming. A fire which originated from matches gnawed by mice destroyed the residence and grocery store of Walter Martin, on Baltic avenue, about two o'clock last Wednesday morning. The loss is about $4000, with but little insurance. Mayor Wright has vetoed the ordinance transferring $500 from the water appropriation to sanitary account. The Atlantic City Institute, of which Mayor Wright is president, has offered

to take care of the city's poor, sick and accident cases, provided suitable quar-

ters are provided, for the $1000 appropriated by Council and the $1200 raised by subscription. The two-masted schooner John M.

comforts, known only to the waterman, for a short time, has returned to his profitable business. Few men have proved themselves so business like as

the Blakes. Port Republic, we think, has furnished more men and women of this kind than any other town of equal population in the county.

Mr. Dare's missionary sermon, last Sunday was delivered with his usual earnestness and grace, and was received in the spirit that was intended. The deserving poor we always have with us.

On Thanksgiving morning at 10 A. M. the congregation of the M. E. Church will appear outside the church in order to be photographed. All who will may come. Collections will be ta-

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday. Nov. 27, 1893.

Because these Black Dress Goods are a third or a quarter under price it doesn't follow that they are one bit under quality. They are not. It is simply the great goods gathering power of this store that makes them, and dozens more, so interesting to you.

Sewing Machines.

How much and yet how little most folks know about them. What work-doers, what eye-saves, what bread-winners they are is common knowledge. But how many know what a crust of "expenses" counts in the usual retail price of all Sewing Machines? Not one in a thousand.

It would astound Sewing Machine buyers if they knew

what actual cost is, and what retail prices would be were

machines sold on the same basis as shoes or clothing or books or furniture or almost any other merchandise.

Why not sell them so? Time was when patents forbade. But the basic and important patents have expired. The field is open to anyone.

Names have lost much of their significance. The ----, the ----, the ----, no matter how good they were, or are, can no longer monopolize excellen-

cies.

All of the wall of exclusiveness has tumbled down--ex-cept the cumbrous, costly way of selling goods. Why shouldn't it go?

Here are the Quaker City Sewing Machines. We named

them. The best machine that could be made by picking from all the goodness of other ma-

chines was brought us. We called it "Quaker City." Taken all in all, we count it the best Sewing Machine on the market. These are the prices: $18, $19, $22, $22.50, $25. Each machine perfect and complete. Oak or Walnut case.

Working parts exactly the same in every instance.

High Arm. Self-setting Needles. Self-threading Shuttle. Automatic Bobbin Winder. Complete Attachments. How can we make these little prices. Easy enough. We buy and sell Sewing Machines as we buy and sell dry goods. And WE DON'T Employ canvassers and pay them half the selling price for getting the business.

WE DON'T Sell on installments and thus lose a part of the price of some machines.

WE DON'T Send out instructors to give lessons at the customer's house--instructions are given at the store.

WE DON'T Do the business in a reck-

less and expensive way and make the customer stand the extra cost.

Always specially attractive lots in the Book store. These are haphazard.
