The children of our public schools are already puzzling their parents with questions about the human system.

The new school law is responsible for this latest infringement of our rights, inasmuch as the study of physiology is required by it. One must be up to date now-a-days if he would keep up with the rising generation.

A joyous company of immediate relatives and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Sack, of Marmora, at 6 o'clock p. m. on November 8th to witness the marriage of their eldest daughter, Lizzie, to Willard Young, of Beesley's Point. The bride was handsomely attired in blue steel henrietta cloth with white silk lace trimming, and carried a beautiful bouquet of white chrysanthemums, while the groom was dressed in conventional black. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. M. Fogg, a former pastor.

The congratulations extended to the newly-made couple were very cordial and manifested the interest in and affection for them as they started out to walk life's pathway together, after which a bounteous supper was served.

A Large Government Contract. The following extract from a Washington paper of the 8th inst. says: "The bid of $144,562.56 for removal of ledges in Boston Harbor by Townsend & Johnson, of Somers' Point, N. J., recommended by Colonel S. M. Mansfield, Engineer in charge at Boston, has been approved by the Secretary of War." Captain Enoch Townsend, of the firm, says: "This piece of work will take us from two to two and a half years to complete. We feel pretty good over our bid being the lowest and its acceptance, as it is probably the largest contract of this description ever given out in the East. The bidding was by proposals, only three bids being received and all were very close, the next bid to ours being by a Mr. Andrews, who was fourteen cents above us. Charles W. Johnston is my partner. We have work at present at Jonesport, Maine, and Nantucket, Mass. The former we expect to complete this month and the latter next month, when we will push the work at Boston as rapidly as possible. We employ now ten men from Somers' Point, two from Atlantic City and three from Linwood and Scullville almost constantly, and expect to employ a larger number on our new work."

Rescued by Her Lover.

Sophia Krauskopf, nineteen years old, living near Weymouth, was to have been married last Friday night to Charles E. Hoffman, one of her father's farm hands. For reasons not known Hoffman decided not to keep his promise to marry her, and so announced, after invitations had been extended to friends to attend the wedding. This preyed on the girl's mind. Her father told Hoffman he would have to leave on Saturday, and this he prepared to do. Miss Krauskopf had threatened to take her life several times, and on Saturday she left a note addressed to her mother asking for forgiveness for drowning herself. Hoffman was told the contents of the note, and learning that Miss Krauskopf had been gone but a few minutes in the direction of the Great Egg Harbor River he started on horseback to overtake her. He came in sight of her as she leaped into the water. By hard riding he

reached the bank of the stream and leaping into the river rescued her as she was disappearing for the third time.

He succeeded in restoring her to consciousness and took her home. He pledged his word to her that on Monday he would marry her. The wedding took place yesterday instead, in order to permit friends to get a second invitation.

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." HAMMONTON. Capitalists are about to erect a fruit cannery here, with a capacity of from 3000 to 10,000 cans per day. BAKERSVILLE. Dr. Gehring and wife have closed their summer residence, and will spend the winter in Washington. Central M. E. Church has been assigned as the next place for the Sun-day-school Convention of Atlantic county. It will meet in November, '95. We wonder what has become of those sorrowful Republicans who in 1892 prophesied that it would take thirty years for the people to redeem themselves from the power of Democracy.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Beach front owners have subscribed to erect a 300-foot breakwater at the foot of Illinois avenue to protect the

beach from the inroads of the sea which

is threatening property in that locality.

The beach is gradually being studded with breakwaters, the utility of which, for protecting the strand, was first

shown by the government in its erec-

tion of several of them to save the lighthouse from being undermined by the sea.

A building lot on South Pennsylvania avenue, sold by A. H. Phillips, for $8000,

established the highest price ever paid here for a cottage site. A Philadelphian

was the purchaser.

In a row Friday Josephine Jackson, colored, was seriously cut with a razor about the fact, neck and hands. The

weapon was wielded by her lover, Thomas Colby. She is in the hospital. Colby belongs in Philadelphia. He is in jail.

Walter W. Bozarth, an awning builder, fell 15 feet to the flagstone pavement while at work at Malatesta's Hotel Monday morning. He received terrible injuries, and may die.

While lighting the gas in her bedroom Sunday night, the young daughter of Undertaker Evan Jeffries dropped a burning match upon a feather bed. In a minute the bed was burning fiercely, and the prompt arrival of the firemen prevented a serious conflagration. The damage will not exceed $100.

Burglars held carnival here Sunday night, breaking into no less than half a dozen business places and rifling tills and carrying off merchandise. Mason's grocery store was entered by way of a rear door. At Borton's coal yard office the thieves crawled through a window, and the Wilson Ice and Coal Company's office was entered by way of the door transom. The office building at McAllister's coal yard was forced and the butcher shops of William G. Oxley and George Scull, on Arctic avenue, were also ransacked. The thieves vainly endeavored to force the safe of the Wilson Coal Company. The police think that amateur burglars committed the robberies. Altogether they did not gather $10 in cash, so far as the police have heard. The wholesale burglaries will result in Chief Eldridge calling his men to give an account as to where they were Sunday night, as it is evident that the thieves spent the entire night at their work, which they carried on boldly and apparently without fear of molestation.

KNORR'S, 818 AND 820 ASBURY AVE. On sale now, a new invoice of choice and fashionable Dress Stuffs, with Silk Combinations, and at such prices as will be within the reach of all. LOW PRICES AND GOOD TASTE, arm in arm.

In the assortment will be found Covert Cloths, Tweeds, Serges,Velour, Cords, Tricols and others not numerous enough to mention. We would like you to come and see, and--well, buy, if you feel satisfied. KNORR'S.

Crew of a Wrecked Schooner. Captain Joseph G. James and crew, of the wrecked schooner Kate E. Rich, were landed in New York on Sunday by the pilot boat Edward E. Williams, No. 14. Captain James is a resident of this county. The Kate E. Rich sailed from Philadelphia November 1, with 371 tons of coal, for Pawtucket, R. I. She encountered heavy gales for six days. All of her sails were blown away, and the seas washed away the stern boat. The vessel sprung a leak, and all hands worked ceaselessly at the pumps. She drifted helplessly for four days with distress signals flying. The leak had increased, and there were six feet of water in the hold. "We were off Fire Island this morning," said Captain James, "when a large English steamer passed close to us without taking any notice. At 1.30 p. m. the pilot boat came to our rescue and threw both yawls out and took us off. Captain Yonker, of the Williams, lay by the schooner until 6 p. m., when she sank eight miles south by east of

Fire Island."

The Revival Services.

The revival services that have been in progress in the First M. E. Church for the past two weeks are accomplishing wonderful results, each night witnessing the conversion of penitents. A deep religious feeling has taken hold of the people, and the church edifice is crowded nightly, the interest manifested becoming more and more intense

with each succeeding day.

Rev. J. L. Glascock, the evangelist, delivers a powerful sermon each evening, in which he forcefully portrays the dangers of an irreligious life and then

points out the way of salvation.

Rev. L. O. Manchester, the pastor, who is an earnest, untiring worker, is making a house-to-house canvass of our town and extending a personal invitation to all to be present at the services.

Winter Excursion Tickets on the Pennsylvania Railroad. On November 1st the Pennsylvania Railroad Company placed on sale at all its principal ticket offices excursion tickets to all the prominent winter resorts. This territory includes the resorts of New Jersey, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Cuba. The tickets are sold at the usual low rates.

The magnificent facilities of the Pennsylvania Railroad, with its many connections, make this the favorite line for winter travel.

Note the Cut in Prices of FALL AND WINTER CLOTHING, At M. MENDEL'S 1625 ATLANTIC AVENUE, ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. The Tariff Bill which lately became a law has knocked the bottom out of prices, and the purchaser can now secure reliable goods at our house at ruinously low figures. Investigate for yourselves.

When Our Children Leave Us. There must come a time in the life of every body who has within him the material that goes to make up our real men a moment when he begins to be restless and longs for something more than a glimpse of the outside world, and longs to get out into its bustle and confusion--to be in it and of it. It is not that he no longer cares for his home as he once did: it is not that his family are less dear than they have been, but the sounds from the battle of life, going on far away, have reached his wakening ear and he is most eager to be out in the world and actively engaged in the fray. This is the decisive moment in the life of the boy. The manner in which this crisis is treated, in most cases, decides for all time what his future shall be. How hard it is for us to see, at the same time, with the eager eyes of youth, and the experienced vision of riper age! How soon and how easily we forget our own earlier days, and all that each circumstance, aspiration and hope meant for us! If we only could do this, how much more successful we would be as

guides to youth!

Talk over the situation with him freely and kindly, guiding where we may, showing clearly where our more mature judgment and experience dictate an entirely different line--and then

let matters take their course, letting

him feel that no matter whether things

go well or ill with him in the path he

has chosen to pursue, he is always sure of the loving sympathy of those out from among whom he has gone.

There will come a time when a daughter, whether she has felt a call to do battle in the work-a-day world or not, will probably come to us and tell us that the love which has been waiting in her heart all these years for the one man who was to call it forth has at last been given. The supreme moment must be met the same way as with our boy. Our daughter may be, in our eyes, entirely too young to think of such matters, and probably is, but it will not do a whit of good to tell her so. The only thing to do is to realize that she has at least grown to be so much of a woman as to believe that she understands herself--and him.

Whether she does or not remains a question of later solution. When the important time arrives, the great thing is to be able to put aside personal feeling and deal with the subject from a common sense point of view, and keep out of the discussion all foolish allusions to the so-called ingratitude of the girl in wishing to leave her parents after all they have done for her, and she has just grown to [?] to be a comfort. There is no ingratitude in a daughter marrying.

It is what her mother did before her, and all that parents can do for a child is no more than they should do. As for being at an age when they are a comfort, well bred, sensible children are a comfort every day of their lives. We have lived our lives. Let us see to it that they live theirs.
