THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1894. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

COUNCIL is acting wisely in having the streets cleaned up this season of

the year.

GOVERNOR RICH, of Michigan, says in his Thanksgiving proclamation: "When gathered around the family table, loaded with good things of every clime, do not forget the poor whom ye

have always with you."

TARDY JUSTICE.

It really begins to look as though public sentiment was being aroused to such a pitch that at last our surfmen may hope for the justice which has so long been withheld him--a pension in case he is disabled or grows old in the service, and a system of relief for his family if he loses his life in the doing of his duty. The New York Herald says: "During the session of the next Congress a bill will be introduced placing the life saving service of the entire coast upon the same footing in many respects as the army and navy. The bill will provide for the retirement upon half pay of honorably discharged life savers retired from the service because of age or physical disability. It is expected that it will also contain a clause making suitable provision for the families of members of the service who

may lose their lives while in the dis-

charge of their duty. Some such plan as this has been recommended repeatedly in the annual reports of General Superintendent Sumner I. Kimball, of the life saving service, and various efforts have been made, hitherto with only partial success, to secure the necessary legislation to ameliorate the condition of those brave fellows, who during ten months of the year are on the lookout day and night to save human life from the sea. The friends of the surfmen believe, however, that this time their bill is likely to go through Congress without serious opposition."

AN exchange aptly says: The man who sits around and squeals and kicks against every enterprise that progressive citizens may attempt to push forward should pack up his grip and move out."

As a citizen he is not worth the powder to blow him up with. THERE seems to be a general impression that the session of the next Legis-

lature will be a short once but that there will be many bad laws repealed and quite a number of good ones enacted. This is what the voters elected the present Legislature for and it should perform its duties without hesitation

or wrangling.

SOME of our property owners are taking time by the forelock by removing the brush and grading up their lots. Let the good work continue until every lot lying between North and Seventeenth streets, from bay to ocean, is thus cleaned. No greater improvement could be made, and at such a trifling expense to each individual lot-holder. SOME years ago when the Republicans had both branches of the Legislature, a law was enacted providing for the closing of the polls at sunset. It was a good law but the next year the Democrats regained control and immediately repealed it. It should be re-en-acted next winter. In the great city of New York the polls open at 6 o'clock a. m. and close at 4 p. m., nearly all the ballots being counted by 7 or 8 o'clock. THE weather we have been having is unpleasantly suggestive of that which ushered in the grippe season several years ago. Prudence will suggest, particularly to persons of weak lungs and throats, that proper care be taken to guard against attack from the disorders to which they are predisposed. This does not mean that they should remain housed in over-heated and under-venti-lated apartments, or that they should indulge freely in stimulants. Common sense should enjoin what is best to be done, although people in frail health should not be dilatory in seeking medi-

cal advice.

BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS. Some beautiful thoughts regarding Thanksgiving are embodied in the following paragraph: "When the heart is sorest, grief the bitterest, loss the most extreme, the giving of thanks brings a relief to the spirit like that of rain to the thirsty earth. To give thanks to heaven that we have had the lost to love, that they are ours, since we have them still and we cannot love what is not; to give thanks that they ever existed, that we knew them and had to do with them, that we had pride and joy in them--to do this is to put ourselves into such close connection with the all-giving power as to receive a new joy almost as precious as the old. It is like the breaking of sacramental bread still with beloved; it is sharing with heaven still their possession. It is lifting the whole being to the spiritual plane where the beloved are. It is without meaning it, without knowing it, saying, 'Thy will be done.' It is entering into the close intimacy of that power dark with excessive brightness. It makes heavenly joy real, and all but renews and revivifies the earthly."

A WONDERFUL REVERSE. In the arena of politics there is nothing more surprising and wonderful than the radical upheaval in our own

State.

For a long term of years New Jersey was cited as the one Northern State to be absolutely and always relied upon for the Democracy. At times and under circumstances which swept other Democratic States away from their moorings, New Jersey remained unswayed by the popular wave, steadily anchored to Democracy. What a surprising change. Last year she cut loose from her Democratic anchorage and gave a Republican majority of 23,000. This year she repudiates Democracy by more than double those figures--over 48,000. What caused this radical change? The answer is easy. Democratic contempt for the rights of the people. Honors were conferred upon men, not because of their devotion to Democratic principles, but because of their allegiance to the "ring" managers, McPherson, Abbett, Thompson, McDermott, etc. These men dared too much. Tired of the corruption and profligacy, thousands of Democrats joined hands with the Republicans and smashed the "Ring," we hope forever. 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 TWO PATHS. Although the inheritance at birth of a sound constitution and a well balanced mental organization is a most important factor in shaping character, yet the possessor of the best natural endowments may so pursue the path of life that the close will find him a miserable wretch, to go from beggary and vice to an unhonored grave. On the other hand, education and moral training can atone for the lack of natural advantages and make a less favored child a useful and honored citizen.

Who can divine, on looking at the head and face of a child, what that young

intelligence will become in the future

of his life? In the one case you can

see him choosing the profession and contemplating a settlement in life, wedding himself to a virtuous, loving and devoted woman, and in course of time becoming surrounded by a loving family. In the other you see the boy

idle, with no fixed habits of investiga-

tion, and you see him as a man emerging from the scenes of brutal intoxication to plunge into deeper, darker vices, until life becomes a burden and he goes down to the grave unlamented and unwept. How different this from the career of the man whose happiest days are spent in the bosom of his loving family, and who grows old amid the most genial influences, honored, revered, beloved, who goes down to his last resting place amid the prayers and tears of those he loved, cheered by the hope of a happy reunion in a world where life is perfect and joy complete.

Work of the Revival Services. Religion is the all absorbing topic in the Borough just now, and if things keep on--and we hope they may--every-body here will be converted. The revival in the Methodist Church, under the direction of the pastor, Rev. L. O. Manchester, has been going on for some weeks and over one hundred converts

have been made.

LOW-PRICED DRESS GOODS Yankee made and new. Not a fresh wrinkle or a wise thought that anyone anywhere has developed in Dress Goods making has escaped these Down Easters. Close to the import mark in styles, in varieties, in qualities --in everything but prices, there the dash has been the other way. All-wool Mixtures, 18c. 36 in. Fancy Cheviots, 25c. Illuminated Fancies, 37½c. All wool, they are, and as the general market is to-day worth 25, 37½ and 50c. That 50c navy blue and black Serge Cheviot at 25c is another of the astonishers. All wool, 36 in. Check Cheviots that sold early in the season at 31c are 18c the yard. Close by are the usual 75c Dress Goods of now in most stores, 50 in., good quality, good style, good weight. We

say 45 and 50c. All these sorts were caught in one great purchase (over 75,000 yards) and within a few days.

PARIS DRESS NOVELTIES Here and there in the grand gathering are Broken lines Odd pieces Single Dress patterns No room for waifs and strays of any sort in such an exclusive collection. Of course it is only the choicest that have come to these conditions, but no matter what the pedigree, how blue the blood, we want to be quickly rid of all the orphan sorts and small lots. Therefore: Plaid Cheviot, $1. 46 in.; reduced from $1.50. Tile Cheviot, $1. 44 in.; reduced from $1.50. Stripe Mohair, $1.75. 48 in.; reduced from $3. Wool English Cheviot, $1.50. 46 in.; reduced from $2.50. Figured Cheviot, $1. 50 in.; reduced from $1.25. Creponette, $2.50. 48 in.; reduced from $3.50.

FOR THE BOYS

Any Clothing thing the sea-

son calls for. Made our way --the best that wisest cloth buying and brightest tailoring

turn out. Buzz-saw cut,

slap-dash sewing or skimpy sizes don't pass muster here.

And often 75c--sometimes 50c--does $1 work for you.

Two Suit sorts--in the store

yesterday for the first.

1--Fancy Cheviots, new patterns, mostly with double seats and knees, sizes 5 to 15, the $5 and $6 kinds--only 300, at $3.50 each.

Complete assortment of Dress Shirt Waists, each with two

collars,

at $1 each. Bang-up School Waists, tough, neat, unlaundered Per-

cale

at 35c each.

HANDKERCHIEFS

The Handkerchief man has

been at it since the year started. Took hard thinking and hard work to outdo our Handkerchief triumphs of the past, but nothing less would satisfy. Ireland, Switzerland, France--wherever Linen Handkerchiefs are produced--the styles of every maker of moment were gone over, sorted, culled and

the worthy ones chosen. Result: The grandest, com-

pletest, most satisfactory assortment ever gathered for retail

selling on this continent. AND AT PRICES SUCH GOODS WERE NEVER SOLD FOR HERE. In all the vast range not one

mean, fuzzy, cotton or halfcotton piece. Keep that in mind; and this other thought --that the market is flooded

with that sort of pretenders. This finger-long list suggests

the range:

Men's Handkerchiefs.

Plain white, tape borders, 10c to $1.50 each. Plain white, hemstitched, ¼, ½, 1 and 1½ inch hems, 12½c to $7 each. Plain white, hemstitched, with hand-embroidered initial, 12½c to 75c each.
