THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1894. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

THE Breckenridge trial and a Democratic Congress are good examples of what the South can give the country

when it has a fresh rein.

IT is "Printers Ink" that gives this seasonable advice to retail merchants: "Advertise! If your business is not worth advertising, advertise it for sale. IN last year's election the Rhode Island Democrats elected fifty-five members of the State Legislature. This year they elect only six. The leaders hold their aching heads and wish that the present National administration--the source of all their misery--had never been born.

BY THE bills which became laws last

week in New Jersey that alluring form of gambling known as bookmaking is

now a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $25, and bookmaking on enclosed grounds becomes equivalent to keeping a disorderly house. The mills of the gods have been grinding slowly, but it is only a question of time when they get there just the same. WORTHY OF THOUGHT. What shall my boy do? What shall my girl do? These questions are anxiously asked by every father and mother who have an interest in the welfare of their children. Even the wealthiest ask the question as far as the boys are concerned. Many rich men are equally anxious about their girls. They know that the wheel of fortune may turn over. Every body and every girl should learn a trade or profession. Parents should use their judgment in settling what the calling should be, of course consulting the natural bent and disposition of the child. Having entered upon the learning of a trade or profession nothing but the most urgent reasons should be allowed to interfere with completing a knowledge of the same. Even should it be distasteful, it should be followed out, as character is thus formed. Many go from one trade to another, or spend a short time in the lawyer's office, then a little time in a doctor's, then for a while as a clerk, thus learning nothing perfectly, but becoming fickle and unstable. Such citizens, in the end, fill our poor houses, our jails, our asylums, or are worthless loafers and idlers in society.

WILL THE MANIACS HEED? Once more the country has spoken in thunder-tones against the crime of strangling Protection to American labor. The protest made last fall has been intensified and States which it was thought had but little concern in the matter have shown during the past few days that the people in a tremendous majority are against the contemplated infamy of passing the Confederate Wilson Tariff bill. That bill is now under discussion in the United States Senate, the last body it must pass before receiving the signature of the President and becoming the law of

the land.

This infamous industry-wrecking measure must not be embodied into law! This is what the people have declared, and they will not be trifled with any longer. The handwriting needs no Daniel to interpret it. Nothing could be plainer than that the people want no further dose of hard times with its accompanying misery and destitution. The verdict says to Grover Cleveland and his coterie of Democratic "cuckoos," "Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting." Will the maniacs heed the thunder-tones which have been uttered? We shall see. During the past week Republican victories have followed each other, in continuous succession. Everywhere in both Republican and Democratic strongholds the verdict has been ever the same. Wisconsin, Ohio, Washington, Wyoming, New York, Illinois, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, Connecticut and even Democratic Missouri, show the contempt with which the Cleveland hierarchy is held by the people. They have had enough of its truckling, subservient and imbecile policy with its accompanied misery and starvation times. The people have spoken again. Vox populi, vox Dei. Will the maniacs in the United States Senate heed and stay their insane act of strangling labor? Unless they do this the wrath of the people will fall upon them in a still greater manner than has yet been recorded by any election returns up to date.

The Fruit Crop Not Injured. When the cold wave passed over this State nearly two weeks ago there were reports circulated to the effect that the peach buds were out in bloom in vari-

ous localities and in some instances cherries were greatly advanced and that the fruit crop was destroyed.

To get an intelligent idea of the condition of the orchards a number of peach growers and truck men were interviewed. They substantially report that the peach buds were not so far advanced as to be killed by the cold wave, and are all well formed and in healthy condition. The cherries and berries look

exceedingly well, and the outlook at present points to the greatest product in years.

A Severe Storm. A storm of unusual severity visited this section Tuesday, accompanied by high winds. During the entire day the wind blew with great fury, but it was almost noon before rain began to fall. This condition of affairs continued throughout the night, and by daylight Wednesday morning the meadows were covered with water. The morning train on the West Jersey left on time,

but was compelled to put back to the station, being unable to get beyond

Thirty-fourth street. Here the train-

men discovered a washout which is

roughly estimated at one hundred feet

long and three feet deep. This is the most serious damage ever known to

have occurred to this branch of the West Jersey during the month of April.

We were unable to glean further in-

formation in regard to the damage done along the coast, before going to press. Although, at this writing, there are indications of the storm's abatement, yet

we fear it has not spent its fury. We fear there has been much damage done, which restored communication will reveal.

Fight With an Infuriated Bull.

A ferocious wild bull, which has been making the vicinity of the Brigantine Life Saving Station its habitation and occasionally amusing itself by charging one of the crew, engaged in a pitched battle with the members of the station Thursday last and yielded its life after what was probably one of the most ex-

citing and thrilling bull fights that ever took place in this State. Annoyed by the threatened danger the crew determined on killing the animal to get it out of the way. They armed themselves with shot-guns and were led in the fight that ensued by Matador Rider, who draws pay as captain of the station. The arena was a trifle large, but it proved on one or two occasions that this fact was instrumental in saving a life or two. Surfman Elmer Channels, who is the best shot among the men, was given the honor of firing first. In some manner he did not place the charge in the spot where he aimed for and the sting of the wounds inflicted rendered the bull dan-

gerous.

The animal charged the surfman in earnest when one of the other members of the crew came to his timely rescue by flaunting a blanket and in turn was chased in a zigzag course for several moments until a second charge of shot from the gun of Surfman Alex Faulkenberg, who had taken refuge among the branches of an accommodating cedar tree, turned him from the scared man. The animal brushed against the tree and nearly shook the valiant seamen from his perch. Another charge was sent into the animal from a third gun and this brought the bull down to the ground, where he was dispatched with the aid of a keen knife in the hands of Surfman Berry.

Atlantic City Happenings. Henry C. Norman, Overseer of the Poor, is stricken with a disease caused by a wound he received during the war, when he was a lieutenant in the Second Pennsylvania Regiment. William Kyle, a house painter, formerly of Philadelphia, fell from the roof of a cottage on Virginia avenue Saturday and was seriously injured. His right arm was broken in four places. Thomas C. Garrett, aged 76 years, who was Mayor of Atlantic City in 1884, died suddenly Friday night. He was taken suddenly ill shortly after retiring and while his daughter, who was the only person in the house at the time, went for a physician he had an attack of heart failure and expired. He was a Past Chief of Records of the Red Men and a member of the Masonic fraternity. His wife was visiting friends in Philadelphia. The unlucky number of thirteen people were immersed in the chilly waters of the ocean Sunday in conformity with the rules of the Baptist Church. The elect were all colored men, women and children. The first batch attired in white robes, were in charge of Rev. Littleton Sturges, of St. James' A. M. E. Church, and numbered eleven. They appeared at the ocean end of Vermont avenue at the early hour of 6.30 and the minister hastily performed the ceremonies. One of the number baptised was the wife of the pastor. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the same point, which is out of the way of general travel, two others, in charge of Rev. Jackson, of Mt. Nebo Baptist Mission, took the plunge and shivered while the invocation was being recited. They are the first immersions in the ocean for religious purposes that have occurred here for a number of years. The Baptist Church of the opposite color have a large tank which they use on these formal occasions, while the colored churches are not large or wealthy enough to provide themselves with such a convenient

affair.

Richard Wistar Dead. Within six weeks of his brother's sudden death from paralysis, and in the same room at his cottage on Massachusetts avenue, Atlantic City, Richard Wistar, the eccentric millionaire of Philadelphia, on Saturday died of Bright's disease. Constant grief over the death of his brother is said to have aggravated Mr. Wistar's complaint and greatly hastened his end. He had been suffering for several years, and a few days before his death was compelled to take to his bed. Dr. E. A. Reilly, of Atlantic City, had been in constant attendance upon him, but on Saturday his symptoms became so alarming that Dr. Lewis Starr, of Philadelphia, was sent. He sank rapidly, however, and in spite of medical assistance expired at dusk. The only one present at his deathbed was a professional nurse who had attended A. J. Drexel and George W. Childs in their last illness.

The death of Richard Wistar removes from Philadelphia the last of the two Wistar brothers, whose careers mark a very interesting epoch in the history of that city. The two men were millionaires ten times over, possessing large real estate holdings in Philadelphia, Bar Harbor, Newport, Long Branch, Atlantic City and elsewhere. It was their peculiarities in regard to their real estate that attracted public attention to them. Once a piece of land came into their possession they were unwilling to part with it except for an enormous price, sometimes declining to consider prices which were almost fabulous. They rarely improved their properties. In several of the built-up and fashionable portions of Philadelphia are large lots, the property of the Wistars, surrounded by tall, unsightly fences, and no effort has been made to improve them, while offers to purchase have been stubbornly and determinedly refused. In some instances this contrariety led to a clash with the authorities--city, State and national. By their refusal to sell certain pieces of land the two brothers stood in the way of needed public improvements in Philadelphia. The most recent cases are those of the new Mint and the site for the new Boys' High School. The government condemned their property in the first instance, and a jury of view fixed a very fair sum for the purchase of the lot, but they refused to entertain any proposition, and took an appeal to court, where it is now pending. The city also offered the two men a handsome figure for the lot at Broad and Green streets, where it is desired to erect the new High School, but here again they refused to sell. The death of the remaining Wistar, however, will clear this matter up, and it is not expected that the city will

now encounter any trouble in securing the lot.

The combined fortunes of the two men is estimated to amount to about $10,000,000, most of which, as both were bachelors, will go to charity. The Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, is believed to be one of the heaviest beneficiaries, although other institutions are very likely remembered, and the old and faithful housekeeper for the two men, Mary McIntyre, will probably be well taken care of. For six years they lived in the cottage at Atlantic City, fronting on Massachusetts avenue. The cottage was furnished in excellent taste, numerous valuable pictures adorning the walls. It was surrounded by a wellkept lawn, and adjoined other property owned by the two. Here was exhibited another peculiarity. They absolutely refused to rent this house, or the several other hotels and cottages owned by them. All were kept in good repair, however. They had little intercourse with their neighbors. About three years ago, by their refusal to sell their property or give their assent, they blocked the Reading Railroad from laying a track down Massachusetts avenue. With all their peculiarities, the two men are said to have had kind hearts and to have aided many people in distress. Their reasons for not selling their land they said was because they did not wish to be deprived of the benefit of its growing value. Mrs. Scott, of Sixteenth and Spruce streets, a sister, and several nephews and nieces survive them. They have also very likely been remembered in Richard Wistar's will, which will not be filed for several days yet. He was the elder of the two. L. Wistar, the other brother, died on Feb-

ruary 4.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, April 9, 1894. Dress Crepes and

Crepons.

If you haven't followed the unfolding of the crinkly, crêpy idea in Dress Stuffs you've no idea what wonderful weaves have been evolved and how the dyer's art has lent beauties heretofore undreamed of in

such goods.

There are straight crinkles, crooked crinkles, diagonal billows of delightful roughness, waffle patterns--clean cut, airy almost as if woven music could be chilled to crispness; there are zig-zags, flashes, lumps and bumps and dots and dashes tangled in the merest films of substance. And such color plays! Irridescent, sometimes--change-able as the soft light of an aurora; again like the steady glow of a sunset. A surprise at every turn, a new pleasure with every pattern. Some of the Crêpes are very modest priced. This little list is from among the blue-bloods -- All-wool, Silk-and-wool: At $1 the yard. Crepe Brilliants, principally for street costumes. Dotted Mille Raye Silk, mixed 40 in. At $1 the yard. Iridescent Crepe, two color combinations. Silk-and-Wool, very light and ethereal. 6 shades. At $1 the yard. Waffle Crepe, all-wool, one of the newest street and evening shades, 40 in, 24 colors. At $1.25 the yard. Gauffre Mohair Crepon, black, navy blue and cream. The Mohair gives it a distinctive lustre and doesn't retain the dust, 46 in. At $1.25 the yard. Silk-and-wool Crepon. Tiny, irregular silk stripes, woven bayadere on a wool crepe ground. Colors for street or evening wear. 48 in., 19 colors. At $1.25 the yard. Figured Crepon, changeable colors, silk woven to form small figures on a crepe ground. 41 in., 6 colors. At $1.50 the yard. Crepe de Chene, Silk-and-Wool, light weight and very brilliant unique colors. 42 in., 8 shades. At $1.50 the yard. Check Crepe. Only a few days from the Custom House. Zig-zag knots of fine wool woven to produce a roughness, yet soft and will drape gracefully. 12 in., 10 colors.

Women's Costumes. Twenty new styles in Covert Cloth Dresses alone--including the saucy Lady Maud and the

dashing Ross Llewen.

And Covert Cloth is the stuff that is hardest to get of all the Dress fabrics this season. It's ever so with what everybody wants--always a procession of dealers waking up at the last minute and wondering how it is that any one can foresee what stuffs and

shapes will be stylish.

What's true of Covert Cloth is likewise true of all the favorite fabrics--in Coats and Cloaks as well as Dresses. Eight price guides from the Cape cohorts of more than 500 styles.

At $3 each. Capes of Ladies Cloth, three rows chiffon braiding around bottom, full overcapes and collar also braid trimmed, colors navy blue, black, tan, havana.

At $4 each. The Alsatian Cape Wool Broadcloth, ex-

quisitely trimmed with lace, black, blue, tan, havana. Looks like the $12 kind!

At $5 each. Capes of fine Wool Broadcloth, ruching around neck, two overcapes neatly em-

broidered in designs, navy blue, black and tan.

At $6.50 each. Capes of fine Twilled Cloth, wide deep bertha of three rows ribbon, finished with ribbon streamers.

Velveteens.

Manufacturers say we show more colors in Velveteens than were ever gathered under re-

tail roof before. Scarcely a Dress Goods shade that we haven't the Velveteen match for. And it's right royal Vel-veteen--fine pile, thick; soft and springy as Silk almost and one dollar the yard! Twenty tints from a hundred:

Amaranthe Trefle Giroflee Ravissant Souei Bizerte Palmier Conroucon Meidia Dryad Myosotis Ophelia Ceylon Alpine Sapirine Nanoi Taiti Heron Cyrus Alouette

Wanamaker's. Continental Bicycles.

The other name doesn't signify any longer. "Conti-

nental" is good enough. It has set some price-bricks tumbling. Why not? There's neither rhyme or reason in paying $125 or more for a first-class Bicycle. We are glad to sell them like this: Full Roadsters, M. & W., tire, $70; G. & J., tire, $75. Light Roadsters, M. & W., tire, $75; G. & J., tire, $80. Ledies' Bicycles, M. & W., tire, $75; G. & J., tire, $80. And we don't do the business for fun, either. JOHN WANAMAKER.
