as second-class mail matter.

SEVERAL bathers at Atlantic City had narrow escapes from drowning on Sunday. As usual, nearly all were expert swimmers, for it is rare that a persion who has not acquired that art will venture far enough from the shore to get into danger. It is only those relying on their ability to swim who give

the life-guards trouble.

MORE THAN MEAT OR RAIMENT.

A certain philosopher more than eighteen hundred years ago remarked that life was worth more than meat and the

body more than raiment, and his re-

marks are as applicable to-day as they were at the time they were uttered. The hot wave which spread its scorching wing over the large cities last week was prolific of many victims. Had the nation been involved in war and had the death rate from one of the battles amounted numerically to that of the heat victims, the entire world would have been astounded and an important epoch made in the history of the nation. We shudder at the calamity attending the mad rush of the Conemaugh with its drowned corpses filling the valley. We stand open-mouthed with horror at

a Charleston rocking in the arms of

Mother Earth; and the burning to death of a half-score of firemen in the White City, is more than a nine days' wonder. And yet a heat-wave spreads over the country and thousands of people die from its effects, and yet no surprise is

occasioned and history is silent over

the destruction to human life which

ensues.

Many persons lose their lives during a heated spell solely because they fail to properly live up to the implied injunction found in the words at the commencement of this editorial. In declaring that life was worth more than meet and the body more than raiment, the speaker attempted to impress his hearers that their solemn duty was to take care of their life and body at all

hazard.

This striving for wealth. This hurrying about whether it rains or shines, whether the mercury is down to zero or at blood heat, this nervous, helter-skelter

life of the average American is more responsible for his death than is the

torrid wave. We rush out on the street

on an errand of business and take no note of nature's warning voice. Of

course we are tripped up and pierced by a shaft from Apollo's quiver, and many a time it is our own fault when we are carried off in the ambulance to

the hospital to have ice applied so as to decrease the fevered temperature.

During these severe heated terms people should go slowly. They should allow nothing to worry them. Life is everything--more than meat or raiment, for without it these are valueless. What of it if a man loses a dollar by refusing to go out into the hot sun after it? He may be able to secure double that amount by waiting till the scorch-

ing wave is over. What of it if he loses

every penny in the world by "going slow" during the hot weather? This is much cheaper--yes, a billion times

cheaper--than losing his life. If the people would only learn to

take care of the life and protect it, not only from the rays of the sun, but from the evil influences of the world, the

food and raiment would come as a

natural consequence. It is this cupidity on behalf of humanity which tries to grasp more than it can carry which slips the cog and breaks the machinery into

irretrievable ruin.

Not Personal Security.

OCEAN CITY, N. J., July 31, 1894. EDITOR SENTINEL: As one of the people before whom the matter is to be shown in its true light, I do not understand how G. P. Moore can make the assertion that Mrs. Rush received from the public treasury $625 in TWO years and then draws on the third year to bear him out in his statement. I find there was no individual security given whatever, as he represented, as will be seen in the following, which was the only security asked for and received by the engravers for their work accomplished: OCEAN CITY, N. J., June 11, 1892. THIS IS TO CERTIFY, That the Borough of Ocean City has agreed to pay Mrs. J. S. Rush, Seventy-five dollars toward the publication of the work she has on hand, and are willing to secure the engravers to that amount. G. P. MOORE, Mayor.

OCEAN CITY, N. J., April 29, 1893.

THIS IS TO CERTIFY, That the Borough Council of Ocean City, at the last regular meeting held April 28, 1893, adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED, That $250 be paid to Mrs. J. S. Rush from the Borough funds to help her in publishing the Ocean City "Guide Book and Directory," and that the Borough will be responsible for that amount on a properly certified order. G. P. MOORE, Mayor.

A Capsized Yacht.

While crossing the bar between Long-

port and this place on Thursday last the yacht Dart, in which were Dr. Boardman and a friend, capsized, and both men were thrown overboard. With great difficulty they were rescued by Captain John M. Corson and Melvin Corson. The capsized yacht was after-

ward righted and was towed to this city.

Rev. J. B. McCullough.

Rev. Dr. J. B. McCullough, editor and founder of the Philadelphia Meth-

odist, died at his cottage at Chester Heights on Wednesday last. Dr. Mc-

Cullough was born near Oxford, Chester county, Pa., on February 23, 1823, his parents being strong Presbyterians.

After an education in the county schools he chose the vocation of teacher and for several years was instructor in mathe-

matics and English branches. On Oc-

tober 28, 1838, he was converted to the Methodist Church at a revival in the Elk Ridge Church, and on February 10th of the year following he united with its membership. In 1844 he was

licensed an exhorter, in 1845 as a preacher, and the succeeding year he was received into the Conference. His active pastorate extended over a period of twenty-six years with but slight in-

termission. Of this term five years were spent in country circuit work and twenty-one years at regular stations in cities and towns. Dr. McCullough

served some of the best charges in the Conference, and in the latter part of his career did excellent literary and edito-

rial work. For several months past he has been suffering from an aggravated attack of jaundice which became com-

plicated with peritonitis a short time before his death.

Services at the funeral were privately conducted Saturday afternoon at his late home, 1719 Park avenue, Philadelphia.

The services at the house were begun by Rev. Dr. S. W. Thomas, who offered prayer, and Rev. W. McMullen and J. R. T. Gray read the lessons. Ad-

dresses were delivered by Revs. Dr. Murphy and W. S. Pugh, and Rev. Dr. W. L. McDowell pronounced the benediction.

Revs. W. M. Ridgway and J. S. J. McConnell, D. D., officiated at the ceremonies at the grave.

Among the floral offerings was a vacant chair with the words "Our President" in immortelles, sent by the members of the Chester Heights Camp Meeting Association. Several others were sent to Mount Moriah Cemetery, where the interment was made.

Dr. McCullough was well known in this city. He spent a few days here in the spring, when first taken ill. The news of his death, coming unexpectedly as it did, was a shock to his many friends here.

An Old Law to Be Tested. Attorney Francis B. Lee, representing the prosecutrixes, the Misses Townsend, of Dennisville, this county, Wednesday of last week was allowed a writ of cer-

tiorari by Judge Reed. The writ brings in review the proceedings of certain commissioners and the Dennisville Meadow Company, a corporation organ-

ized under the oldest act incorporated in the body of the revision of New Jer-

sey, and commonly called the Meadow act of 1788. By virtue of the act, the owners of a given tract of marsh land make application to the Court of Common Pleas for the appointment of commissioners to lay out banks, dams, sluices, flood gates and other necessary works. The

commissioners report to the court; the owners organize a company with a manager, clerk and treasurer, and with-

out further preliminaries proceed to their work of improvement. Owners of meadow within the general plan embraced by the Meadow Company, who do not desire to enter in with the company, are liable to have their lands seized and rented out to pay for assessments which may be imposed by virtue of the improvements. These assess-

ments are often large and burdensome to small owners, and it is to test the constitutionality of arbitrary assess-

ments made by the Dennisville Meadow Company, as well as of the act itself, that the Misses Townsend have become prosecutrixes in the matter.

The Townsend properties include a number of meadow lots on Dennis Creek, and a private road leading there-

to, this private way, it is claimed, having been illegally embraced in the general plan of the company as one of their banks.

It is believed that this is the first time that the constitutionality of this act of 1788 has ever been assailed.

A Circulating Library.

At the free reading room of the W. C. T. U., 708 Asbury avenue, there has been established a circulating library for the benefit of the summer visitors of the place, and others. The room is open from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m.

The charge for use of books is $1 for three months; 10 cents for one week and two cents per day.

At the Circus. The elephant reached around with his trunk and rattled the bars of the cage of the royal Bengal tiger.

"What do you want?" growled the tiger. "I beg your pardon. I merely wanted to ask you a question."

"Ask it, then, and don't stand there all day." "Can you tell me the difference between a royal Bengal tiger and a jackass?" "No," growled the tiger. "What's the difference?" "Well," chuckled the elephant as he blew a washtubful of dust into the ti-

ger's eyes, "if I couldn't tell the differ-

ence between myself and a jackass, I'd tie my stripes into a string and hang my-

self with it. Indeed I would," and the elephant went back to seesawing on his front legs and distributing occasional trunkfuls of dust and grass along his spinal column.--Detroit Free Press.

Asiatic cholera was first supposed to have originated from the consumption of unsound rice and was called "the rice disease."

Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or ele-

vated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder and general house mover.

The Dear Girls. "I always had a presentiment," said Miss Pahsay, "that I should die young."

"But you didn't have to, did you, dear?" replied Miss Ahtless, stroking her pale brown hair tenderly.--Chicago Tribune.

Walter Besant, among other reasons for his opposition to woman suffrage, says that men have to do the conquering, the defending and the providing, and they ought to do the governing.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July 30, 1894. Store closed Saturdays at 1 o'clock.

COTTON DRESS GOODS Remnants and dress lengths. Astonishing what a storm of short pieces fall behind the yard-sticks in the Cotton Dress Goods aisles.

And half the price or so, sometimes two-thirds of it, falls with them. 60c goods at 30c. 37½c goods at 12½c. 50c goods at 20c. 25c goods at 12½c. 45c goods at 15c. 18c goods at 8c. 12½c goods at 6c.

They are all on the counter ends, easy to get at; bundled and with the yardage plainly marked.

5c OUTING FLANNEL

Cotton, but so fuzzy and fluffy that the stuff has a wooleny feel. New designs and the quality every whit as good as when the price was 10c.

FOR WOMEN'S OUTING WEAR

Three significant items from the Women's Costume store. The prices sometimes stand for less than the work on the garments would cost.

Women's Navy Blue Serge Dresses, new walking coat, half satin lined, full wide skirt at $5 each.

Women's Serge Skirts at $2. Women's Serge Outing Coats at $1 each.

WOMEN'S BATHING SUITS

Two lots indigo Flannel Bathing Suits go to the main aisle, Chestnut street, to-day.

WOMEN'S SHIRT WAISTS

A shower of Shirt Waist sorts--Calico, Percale, Madras, Lawn, Laundried, all of them. Even the half-dollar grade is "done up" as dainty as a dress shirt.

50c, 75c, $1, $1.25, $1.75, $2 is the price range, and every dime added means a plump ten cents worth of value.

Pretty, neat figured Lawn Wrappers, ruffle over shoulder, watteau plait, large full sleeves, $1.50; originally $2.25.

MEN'S CLOTHING Yes, your size is among them--the $15, $18 and $22.50 Cassimere and Cheviot Busi-

ness Suits at $7.50.

We don't know at $10 anywhere in town better Serge Suits than these at $7.50. Feather-weight Coats, 50c to $5.

HAMMOCKS

BICYCLES

What's in a name? A great deal--if you're paying for a Bicycle. Take the ------ If you bought it as the maker meant the price would be $90 or $100, as we sell it--nameless--it is $55. The Continental had another name, a $150 name. We dropped the name--and the "Continental" is $70. JOHN WANAMAKER.

WOODLAND CEMETERY.

A Great Want Supplied.

A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean View station, secured, and has been surveyed and laid out with convenient and tastefully arranged drives and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull,

Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus affording a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon.

The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other firstclass cemetery in the county. The Company

invite special attention to the numerous advantages offered to purchasers in their grounds.

Come in and view them. Nature and art incite inspection and admiration. Now is the time to secure a place of interment in the very best cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY BEST. It is so on account of its improvements. The cemetery is highly respectable in

the character and class of interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living, and on account of elevation it is eminently the best. Besides, it is not embarrassed by debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place.

For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
