How much he hears that he cannot tell; how much he knows that it would not be fair for him to reveal. He sees the best and worst types of society, and has his hand more constantly upon the pulse of affairs than any minister, law-

yer, doctor or merchant.

ing the years 1885-86. He was one of the best known politicians in the county.

with's important services while in the Legislature was the framing and having passed amendments to the city charter which changed local elections from No-

The large and interesting family of Mrs. Elizabeth Clark, consisting of Miss Anna Clark, Mrs. Amanda Clark, Mrs. Mary Rose and husband, Mrs. Lizzie Wagner with her two very interesting children, of Vineland, and Mrs. Rena Boyer and child, have all been visiting their mother recently. What a lovely sight to see a large and harmoniously related family. We think it something related to heaven. Harry Higbee seems to have found his niche in this world. Polite and attentive to customers, taking advantage of every opportunity to increase his employer's custom, obliging and deferential, he has won the respect of William Blake, our aged and much-respected merchant, who employs Harry as clerk. A school meeting, consisting of very few of the patrons of the school, was held last Saturday afternoon to decide whether the district should raise more money for repairs. The school property here ought to be condemned by our County Superintendent and suitable buildings erected. Our school will never be what it might till that time comes.

Miss Lulu Hewitt and Miss Lida Adams spent Saturday and Sunday in Bridgeport, Burlington county. They brought the good and cheery informa-

tion of having a "good time."

The slander hinted at in your last week's issue became such a world-wide affair that a notice of its termination

may interest some of your readers. It seems that our minister, Mr. Dare, in his most earnest and zealous nature for doing the most good he can, was con-

ducting revival services in our neighbor-

ing village, Smithville. During the in-

vitation for repentants to come to the altar he took the hand of a young wo-

man and earnestly besought her to use her influence to induce her acquaint-

ances to come forward. The movement was detected by three young men, who,

as the event proved, were thinking of other matters than those of higher importance, and placed upon it their own version. As all communities have more or less of this impure element, that of seeing through channels made filthy by trying to cleanse other people's actions, and always judging others' motives

from the purely animal plane, the whis-

per found ready access to ears and tongues that delight to swell and mag-

nify a slander, till it rolls "like a sweet morsel" beneath their tongues. Friends of our good pastor, as well as his foes, assisted in making the story take the

"wings of the morning," and by the time the man reached home the recital had reached hideous proportions. In-

stead of thinking or stopping for one instant long enough to allow reason or judgment to have any influence, thereby staying the unholy onslaught, the cud-

gel both for and against was waised, while the hydra-headed monster--the satanic spirit of slander--was skulking and chuckling to himself behind the

fair landscape at Smithville and Leeds' Point. The stewards of both churches

forced him out, to either retract or prove what they had reported. The result is most just and satisfactory to all our pastor's friends, which he finds

among the better element. The young woman herself averred that there was nothing wrong, thought or expressed,

and the fellows who call themselves men retracted both in court and at the Smithville Church. Thus ends one of the silliest things that ever stirred a re-

spectable community, almost as much of a disgrace to those who fought it as to those who originated it.

Cape May Point Borough Affairs. At a recent meeting of the Cape May Point Borough Commissioners the resolution forbidding the local bank to pay out any moneys of the borough till the question of the treasurership should be settled was rescinded, and Council recognized E. Markley as the incumbent of the office, and Ex-Treasurer Corwin has turned over to his successor all the books and papers of the office.

The public school money has also been released and has been placed to the

credit of the Board of Trustees. The taxpayers who have been withholding

their assessments until a collector should be qualified will now, it is believed, pay over the amount of their bills.

Samuel Belden, Camden, was elected Borough Solicitor, and was instructed to audit the books of the office at once.

Council Meeting.

All the members of Council were present on Friday evening last, when the following business was transacted:

The committee appointed to advertise and award the contract for grading and graveling on Fifth street reported progress. The resolution to grade, gravel and curb Ocean avenue, between Fourth and Fifth streets, was taken up and passed finally.

The resolution in reference to paving Asbury avenue, between Thirteenth and Seventeenth streets, was put upon its third reading and passed.

The bill of the World's Exposition Committee, for advertising, amounting to $150.00, was ordered paid.

On motion of Jacob Steelman, seconded by F. P. Canfield, the resolutions were ordered printed in the News. Adjourned until Friday evening.

Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder and general house mover. Houses moved in any part of the county. Address A. D. Scull, builder, Thistle Cottage, Ocean City, N. J.

The proceeds will be used by the trus-

tees to liquidate present indebtedness. As the cause is a worthy one, there should be an excellent attendance.

Tried to Drown His Children.

Proctor Jackson, one of the best-known citizens of Longport, while in-

sane from the grip Friday night, led his three children, two girls and a boy, the eldest nine years old, to the wharf of the Atlantic Coast Steamboat Com-

pany and threw them one by one into the bay. The tide was low, and the water did not cover any of their heads. The youngest, who is nearly five years old, was helped to shore by the older children.

A few moments after the children had been thrown overboard the mother, who missed the husband and heard the cries

of the little ones, reached the scene and took her children and now greatlycowed husband home. None of them have shown any serious effects from their cold bath.

Charged with Larceny. Swain Hand, of Cape May county, was committed to the Camden county jail Thursday by Justice Paul on a charge of the larceny of a sum of money,

a certificate of deposit and a promissory note from Michael M. Isaacs, who was a boarder at the house of Mrs. Adaline Augburn. It was stated that Hand was employed as a cook, and on Wed-

nesday last entered the room of Mrs. Augburn, where Mr. Isaacs' valuables were kept, and pilfered the bureau. He secured $170 in cash and a certificate of deposit for $550 in the Merchants' Bank of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS, DAILY, SUNDAY, WEEKLY. A Family Paper WHICH IS Clean, Unsensational, and Just the Paper FOR The American Home.

The Press has the best possible organization to secure news from the most important sources, and with nearly 400 correspondents in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, the State and near-at-home news is covered with a routine carefulness of detail not even attempted by any other paper.

The Press also has the best of correspondents in all the great cities of the United States, as well as financial and railroad experts in Chicago and the West, who keep the paper more than abreast with events. The columns of the Sunday Press are enriched by contributions from those whose names are written high in our lists of great authors, novelists, essayists, as well as from men of high rank in public life. The best authors know that their best audiences are readers of the Daily, Sunday and Weekly Press.

In politics the Press knows no other master than the people and the past year has seen, as has been seen before, the marked fact that it is

subservient to no political boss. It has no political ambitions to foster, but looks after the interests of its readers, and delivers itself upon the issues of the day in a manner both frank

and fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves and evading no issues but meeting them all on the basis of fairy play to all men at all times. Its pages know no distinction and the rights of one class over another are neither re-

cognized nor supported. Advertisements of Help Wanted, Business Opportunities, Real Estate, etc., may be inserted in the Press for One Cent a Word.

Terms of the Press: By mail, postage free in the United States and Canada. Daily (except Sunday) one year, $6.00 " " " one month, .50 " (including Sunday) one year, 7.00 " " " one month, .65 Sunday, one year, 1.00 Weekly Press, one year, 1.00
