Republican Ticket.

FOR CONGRESS, HENRY C. LOUDENSLAGER, of Gloucester county. FOR SENATOR, EDMUND L. ROSS, of Middle township. FOR ASSEMBLY, FURMAN L. LUDLAM, of Dennis township. FOUR COUNTY CLERK, JAMES SHOEMAKER, of Upper township.

WHEN Mr. Ferrell sought or accepted the Democratic Congressional nomination in this district no one doubted that though he did not expect to be elected he nevertheless expected to reap some benefit from it. It now seems that the term of the Republican postmaster in Glassboro will shortly expire, and that Mr. Ferrell has his eye on that comfortable birth. Well, he has the SENTINEL'S

best wishes for success in that direction. There is no reason why he should not make a good postmaster for a place

like Glassboro that we know of, and if his defeat at the polls will be of any benefit in creating sympathy for him in administration circles, he can rely on his Republican friends doing their utmost for him without the asking.

DURING the past week both parties

have made their nominations in Cape May county. Senator Miller has represented this county as a Democrat for the past three years, but he saw the handwriting on the wall and declined to allow his name to be used. His suc-

cessor will be a Republican without the shadow of a doubt, and he was nominated on Wednesday in the person of ex-Assemblyman Edmund L. Ross. I

has the pleasure of serving with Mr.

Ross in the Assembly and found him

to be careful, conscientious, genial and

attentive. Such nominations are the

kind that make parties strong with the people, for he is a man that the people love to talk about. For the Assembly the nominee is Captain Furman L.

Ludlam, of Dennis township, but it

will surely not be said of him "his name it is Dennis."--Correspondence in North American, Oct. 15.

Republican County Convention. The Republican County Convention, held at Cape May Court House on Wednesday last, was a very harmonious

gathering.

John W. Reeves, chairman of the last convention, called the assemblage together and was re-elected its presiding officer. Dr. Eugene Way, of Dennisville, was chosen secretary. Messrs. F. K. Duke, J. C. P. Smith, Joseph Hoffman, Alfred Cresse and Anthony B. Smith were appointed a committee on credentials. The chair appointed the following committee on resolutions: Dr. W. S. Leaming, Harry S. Douglass, Sheriff R. E. Hand, Dr. Eugene Way and Robert C. Lee. This committee reported the following, which was unanimously

adopted:

We, the Republicans of Cape May county, in convention assembled, do proclaim our allegiance to the principles of Protection to American Industries, and denounce as fatal to National and State prosperity the masked free trade doctrine represented by the Wil-

son tariff bill.

We would express our gratification at the manner in which Congressman Loudenslager and Assemblyman Ross have carried out the trusts given into their keeping, and pledge our united

support to the Republican candidates

in this campaign.

On motion it was decided that the votes of a majority of all delegates present be necessary to nominate. Nominations for Senator were then in order. On roll call each delegation named Hon. E. L. Ross, and on motion he was declared the unanimous choice of the convention. On the call for nominations for Assembly, George J. Rummel, representing Avalon, presented the name of J. Monroe Chester, of Sea Isle City. Freeholder Smith, for Dennis township, nominated Captain Furman L.

Ludlam.

Harry C. Sutton, speaking for Ocean City, said he had been instructed by the voters of his city to present the name of R. C. Robinson, but during the day had been requested by that gentleman to withhold his name from the convention. Mr. Sutton further stated that Ocean City would demand in the near future the nomination for a representative in the House. A ballot being taken, Captain Ludlam received 31 votes and Mr. Chester 8. Mr. Ludlam's nomination was then made unanimous. Ex-Sheriff James Shoemaker was nominated by acclamation for County Clerk. The nominees were then brought before the convention, and each in turn accepted the nomination in a neat speech. Congressman Loudenslager, who was in attendance, gave a forcible talk, deafening applause interrupting him at frequent intervals. After a song and speech by Captain William D. Franks, a blind man of Cape May City, and the appointment of the County Executive Committee, the convention adjourned.

THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. Ocean City Welcomes and Entertains in Royal Style the School Marms and Masters--Instructive Exercises--Pleasant Incidents. The success which attended the Teachers' Institute held in the First M. E. Church at this place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week is ample cause for congratulation. There were about 225 teachers present, and the exercises were highly interesting, entertaining and instructive. The Institute was organized at 1.30 Wednesday afternoon, and after singing and prayer Dr. G. M. Phillips, principal of the State Normal School at West Chester, Pa., delivered an address. Miss Kate D. Stout, of the State Normal School, followed with a lecture on "History." Charles T. Barnes, institute conductor, of Sauquoit, N. Y., spoke of his "Observations of the Schools of Europe." The afternoon session was closed by Dr. James M. Green, principal of the State Normal School, who took for his subject the "Science of Education." In the evening Dr. Phillips entertained a full house with his lecture on a "Tour to the Golden Gate." Mr. Phillips is a very pleasant talker, and he vividly depicted the notable scenes along the route from Philadelphia to San Francisco and return. After the opening exercises Thursday morning, Dr. G. M. Phillips told "How the World is Governed." Then followed Charles T. Barnes on "School,"

Dr. J. M. Green on the "Science of Education" and Miss Kate D. Stout on "History."

The afternoon session was given over to addresses by Dr. Phillips, Charles T. Barnes, and Weston Jenkins, principal of the School for Deaf Mutes. Dr. Phillips' subject, "School Savings Banks," is worthy of careful consideration by our teachers, as it has many commendable features. Charles T. Barnes was the lecturer of the evening, and he gave some good, practical hints on the subject of "What Shall We Do with Our Boys." A vein of humor ran through the entire lecture. The speaker illustrated the points he wished to emphasize by anecdote, which kept the audience convulsed with

laughter.

Friday morning, the last session of the Institute of '94, was taken up with addresses by Dr. Phillips on "National

Banks" and "Stock Market Transac-

tions," and some wholesome advice from Charles T. Barnes, and then the exercises of this body became a part of

the history of Ocean City.

At the conclusion of the lecture on Thursday evening and just as the audi-

ence was leaving the church building

the W. A. Manahan Cornet Band arrived and tendered the teachers, as a body, a complimentary serenade. The teachers, appreciating the honor, ap-

plauded at the conclusion of each num-

ber.

At the conclusion of the serenade an impromptu reunion of the teachers took place in Steelman's Hall, and it was an event which will not soon be forgotten by those in attendance. Singing, recitations, speeches and instrumental music made the hours glide by unperceived, and it was almost "midnight's holy hour" before the audience separated. Mayor H. G. Steelman displayed much public spirit in contributing so largely to make the occasion enjoyable. The members of the band heartily seconded their leader in his endeavors to show the esteem in which our educators are held and on all sides could be heard words of praise from fair lips for the excellent music they rendered. H. G. Steelman tendered the use of the hall gratuitously, in his characteristic way, saying, "Go in and help your-

selves."

Prof. L. R. Thomas was a busy man from the time he was made aware that the Institute was to be held here until the curtain was rung down upon the final act; and, as he always does where educational matters are predominant, was on the alert that nothing should be left undone that might contribute to the comfort and pleasure of those in attendance upon the sessions of the In-

stitute.

As the time approached for the departure of the train which was to carry to their homes the teachers who had sojourned with us for three days, the W. A. Manahan Band was seen wending its way toward the depot, where they rendered a number of airs, and just as the train was steaming out of the station it struck up "Home, Sweet Home." The Institute, composed as it is of the teachers of this and Cumberland county, should, as an act of courtesy, be held in the latter county, but quite a large number of the visitors were loud in their praise of Ocean City and its hospitality, and expressed the hope that they might be permitted to attend next year's Institute in this place. The following gentlemen, prominent in educational circles, were present during the Institute: Vincent O. Miller, County Superintendent, Cape May county; Charles G. Hampton, County Superintendent, Cumberland county; John S. Turner, City Superintendent, Bridgeton, and E. C. Stokes, City Superintendent, Millville.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, October 15, 1894.

The newspaper invitation to the "First View of Paris Dresses and Wraps" was a genuine surprise to this community. The high character of the collection, as a whole, was a still greater surprise. We had already shown many rich Costumes. Some others had also been seen here and in New York. The Autumn "openings" were supposed to be over, when Presto! Suddenly, without notice, an "Occasion" in Costumes, more complete, elegant, novel and comprehensive than all others combined, burst upon you. Every woman to whom this store is accessible should visit this exhibition.

This collection is a Stock to Sell and not merely a lot of Models to Copy.

The great quantity of fine Wraps and Costumes sold by us to New York and Washington is a recognition that our stock of Women's Paris Garments is the best in America. The critics were here, and especially prominent among them were trade representatives. Some of their sayings were overhead. Here are specimens: Think of the nerve required in these hard times to bring such a collection to Philadelphia. Congratulate you upon your gems of art. Each Costume is a study. Just like Wanamaker's. No half way. Simple but Exquisite. The Dresses look as if made for American women. Worth your while to come. Always something new here. Perhaps it is a little cheap to quote these compliments--but there is a proper wideness in advertising. The collection is great--but you don't see half of it. The birds, flowers and plants occupy some of the room. They are so sweet and beautiful that we do not grudge them the space. Do you?

DRESS GOODS--EXCLUSIVE Our assured command of the markets for the finest Dress Goods is a fact to be considered carefully. Years of hard work have given our Dress Goods stock clear and acknowledged leadership. Each new season marks higher achievement. This season the collection of elegant Novelties makes the stock more unapproachable

than ever.

This moderate statement avoids comparison. That is left to the public. But intelligent comparison makes sales faster than the most skilled advertising and salesmanship. Please compare. The aisle that holds the Novelty Dress Goods is a very Mecca for taste and fashion. The assembled newness contains many styles of very rough stuffs. They are dominant now. The tout of the welldressed Englishman gives the style-thought to Paris and

Roubaix.

How the French refine and beautify everything they produce! You almost justify the fellow who must have his shirts laundered in Paris. So these rough English styles--the weavers in Yorkshire, and by the Tweed, never imagined the beauty that the French could add to such distinguished pat-

terns.

Here are a few prices, just for illustration: 46 in. Figured Cheviots at $1.25. 46 in. Tweed Mixture at $1.25. 46 in. Plaid Cheviot at $1.50. 46 in. Boucle at $2. 48 in. plain and plaid Zebline at $2.50. 48 in. French Homespuns at $3. But prices! The story that could be told about the way some mark them up! You can excuse it perhaps, for there are folks in trade who don't know. A mile a minute is the trade-world's pace--and many fall behind. BLANKETS Little enough for the crib, big enough for the extra big double bed--every size that Blanket service ever runs to. It's our Blanket gathering at the threshold of cold weather; as perfect, as complete as we know how to make it, and with prices pushed down to a point far below what we ever before knew reliable goods to be marked at. Neither free wool nor lower duties nor both together are ever likely to make littler prices. All these are white: At $2.50 the pair. Large, warm wool-filling Blankets, 70x80 in., 5½ lbs. At $3 the pair. Warm, well-made wool Blankets, red and blue borders, cotton warp, wool filling, 70x80 in., 5 lbs. At $4 the pair. Extra size strictly pure wool filling Blankets; 76x86 in., 6 lbs. At $5 the pair. Extra large and heavy Blankets, long, stape, white wool filling on light 14 oz. cotton warp. 70x86 in., 7 lbs. It's our $6.50 blanket of last year. And so on up to genuine Californias--finest purest wool, soft as woven down, at $8 the pair, single bed size. $9 the pair, three-quarter bed size. $12 the pair, double bed size. $15 the pair, extra large size.

$10. It's a small sum. It's enough to Clothe you right--our word for it. $10.

Never in all our business years have we known such times in the selling of our Good Clothing. Everybody wants it, almost. Certain it is that one busy day succeeds another. The unusual conditions through the death of one of our firm continue in force, and the lowering of prices is very great beyond what we ever expected. The Very Low Prices are responsible for the Business The Very Low Prices are responsible for the Business What used to cost $10 and $12--Men's All Wool Suits, $5 and $6.75 What used to cost $10 and $12--Men's All Wool Suits, $5 and $6.75 What used to cost $16.50--Men's Fine Worsted Suits, $12 New Lots Men's All Wool Fall Overcoats, heretofore $10 for $5 New Lots Men's $15 and $20 Fall Overcoats now $7.50 and $10 Good Suits for Boys, never less than $5 before--$3.50 now We believe this is a time of special advantage for buyers to lay in their clothes. In many instances, at the outlay of just half last year's money you are provided with dependable Clothing for which you have the guarantee of this house that quality is right. The imperative pressure to sell governs all our prices. It's impossible mostly to buy as low. It's impossible to buy lower, unless you waste your money for what isn't trustworthy. Bring back anything you buy from us, if you're disappointed anyway. What it costs to get to the City: Buy a moderate amount of our Clothing and it costs you nothing for Railroad fare. We pay it both ways.
