OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. PRINTED AND PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. R. CURTIS ROBINSON, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. OCEAN CITY, NEW JERSEY. Advertisements in local columns, 10 cents per line, each insertion. Monthly and yearly rates furnished on application. Job work promptly done by experienced hands.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1895. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

A LEGISLATIVE bill to prevent horse-

racing, gambling and illegal liquor selling at county and State fairs might

strike the public favorably just now.

THE "existing evils" that the Republican minority in Congress are now called upon to remedy did not exist when the Republican party was in

power.

THE 500,000 Democrats who voted with the Republicans last fall are not being shown at present any good reason why they should go back to their old

and mismanaged party.

THERE will be no Democrat from North Carolina in the upper house of the Fifty-fourth Congress and no Democrat from West Virginia in the lower house of that body. The Solid South

is a thing of the past.

M'PHERSON'S RETIREMENT.

Senator MacPherson will soon retire from public life and from the public gaze. When his term expires next month he will have served the State of New Jersey for the period of eighteen years and during that time he has earned something of a national reputation. Senator MacPherson, while a strong partisan in most respects, could be relied upon as a friend of honest money, and up to within the past year he used his influence to check the free traders in his party in their efforts to sweep away all protection for American industrial enterprises and labor. At

that time, however, he weakened and resigned as a member of the committee having the shaping of the tariff bill in charge knowing that the place was to

be filled by an outspoken free trader from a Southern State. From that period he has taken but little interest in legislation and would have resigned

some months ago but for the appeals of his friends.

When it came to the test, like nearly

all Democrats, he swallowed the free trade medicine prepared by Southern

Democrats and voted against the interests of the State that had honored him with its confidence. It will be regretted that during the last year of his service Senator MacPherson was publicly charged with using the secrets gained through his position to speculate in the

Sugar market, and that the only explanation that he could offer was that his servant had speculated in his name without his consent. While the word

of a millionaire Senator should not be

doubted, the fact that the servant got

on the right side of the market left the impression that the Senator gave his servant latitude. His action in refuting this charge was not like the course he pursued against the New York Her-

ald some years ago when he sued it for libel for a comparative trivial offence. But whatever the truth or falsity of the latter charge, since Senator MacPherson has bowed before the free trade shrine

the people of New Jersey will part with him without regret.

Anton Rubinstein's Debut. As a young man Anton Rubinstein had to struggle severely for his existence. He ate his bread in tears, nor did he always save bread to eat. Rubin-

stein, who later in life was a millionaire, did not have enough to satisfy his appetite in the beginning of his career. And his gratitude to those who had faith in his genius and stood by him with their counsel and assistance knew

no bounds ever afterward.

In his salon in Peterhof, where he resided during the last years of his life in a castlelike palace as a landed lord, an album was displayed, the first leaf of

which showed the photo picture of an

old Polish Jew. It was a reminiscence of one of the most noteworthy events in the artist's life. He had, still a lad,

advertised his first concert given in a city of Poland. But nobody came to buy

tickets. Suddenly an old Polish Jew

stepped into the office, put a ruble upon the counter and said, "Give me half a dozen seats."

"This my first paying hearer," thus explains Rubinstein, "filled me with such unbounded delight that when a few years later I passed again through that town I had a photograph taken of the old man to preserve his picture."--Minorah.

JOHN W. NEWLIN is being mentioned as the Republican candidate for Mayor

of Millville. Brother Newlin is a highly respected and enterprising citizen as

well as a good editor, and therefore the affairs of that lively city would be safe

in his hands.

WHEN a man turns out to have been a defaulter, and it is reported that none of the ill-gotten money can be found, the question is at once asked, "what did he do with it?" Let any one who has ever had five dollars in his pocket

which he has honestly earned think

how quickly it melted away without the slightest knowledge on his part where it had gone to before he asks such a question. Ill-gotten gains will disappear more quickly than the money that is earned by the sweat of the brow.

THE stories of defalcations by public officers and bank cashiers are usually not more than half told at first, but this is not an invariable rule. A pleasant exception is to be noted. L. S. Chester, City Treasurer and Collector of Sea Isle, who was charged some months ago, with a falsification of accounts, had them examined by an expert accountant and has been completely exonerated. Mr. Chester's reputation will be brightened rather than dimmed by the result of the trials through which he has passed.

A CASE has been tried in Philadelphia

as to ownership of a tree on a line between two properties. It was a maple

tree, two-thirds of the trunk being on one side and one-third on the property of the one threatening to cut the tree away. This is presumptive proof that the tree

started on the property of the one objecting to the tree's destruction. As the one desiring to cut it away permitted its growth to extend within his line he can probably have no say in the tree's

destruction. The court favored this

view. An injunction was granted restraining the cutting away of the tree.

Only a joint agreement can cut the tree away. Woodman spare it.

EVERY resident and visitor of Ocean City knows that it is a "good thing."

Its advantages and attractions as a sum -mer resort are not exceeded by any

other places in the country. Its claims as a winter resort are equally numerous, and yet for lack of push and judicious endeavor it languishes in this one par-

ticular. Like the business of a merchant it requires persistent advertising to keep it before the people. No busi-

ness man would survive long if he did not keep in touch with the great purchasing public through the newspapers

or other forms of publicity. The same is true of Ocean City and its interests.

They must be advertised--kept contin-

ually before the people who have leisure and money to travel and enjoy life.

Shipwrecked Sailors Saved.

The Baltimore steamer Charles F. Meyer, which arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., Friday, had as extra passengers Captain Godfrey Fairbrothers and crew of the three-masted schooner James Ives, of New Haven, Conn. The Ives, a staunch three-masted schooner, owned by Henry Sutton, of New Haven, Conn., together with her cargo of 861 tons of soft coal, lies at the bottom off the capes of the Delaware. She was valued at $18,000.

Captain Fairbrothers was seen Saturday morning at his home at Pleasantville. He said: "We cleared from

Newport News at noon on January 26.

The wind was blowing quite fresh from the west and everything went well until the next day. The wind increased during the night, and blew heavy from the

northwest. Suddenly, without any

warning, the vessel struck bottom near

Five Fathom Bank, off the capes of

the Delaware. The sea was quite rough

at the time and the vessel pounded

heavily. She thumped her bottom out,

and at 3.30 p. m. we abandoned her. The steamer Charles F. Meyer hove in

sight and we were soon on board."

Agreed With His Cross Examiner.

Mr. James Hyde, once a lawyer in a small town on Long Island, tells a good

story about himself. He says:

"It was when I used to practice law in a little town near the center of the state. A farmer had one of his neighbors arrested for stealing ducks, and I was employed by the accused to endeavor to convince the court that such was not the case. The plaintiff was positive that his neighbor was guilty because he had seen the ducks in the defendant's yard. "'How do you know they are your ducks?' I asked. "'Oh, I should know my own ducks anywhere!' replied the farmer, and he gave a description of their various peculiarities whereby he could readily dis-

tinguish them from others.

"'Why,' said I, 'those ducks can't be of such rare breed. I have seen some just

like them in my own yard.'

"'That's not at all unlikely,' replied the farmer, 'for they are not the only ducks I have had stolen lately.'"--In-

dianapolis Sentinel.

WEST AVE. AND EIGHTH ST., Ocean City, N. J.

Highly Humorous. An American who has been traveling in England declares that he has seldom found the average inhabitant of London inclined to be discourteous. As a rule, any information asked by a stranger is given freely and kindly. But you must not expect an Englishman to forego an

opportunity to make a good, robust British joke.

On one occasion the traveler happened to be in the neighborhood of Millbank prison and fancied that he would like a glimpse at that famous place of deten-

tion.

"Can you tell me the way to Millbank?" he asked of a stout tradesman

whom he met.

"Aye," answered John Bull. "Knock me down and rob me pockets, and you'll soon enough be on the straight road

there!"

Then, without vouchsafing any fur-

ther information, he passed on, with a

chuckle.--Youth's Companion.

Murderous Assault at Millville. Hiram Jones made a murderous as-

sault upon Daniel Goff, the well-known brick manufacturer, Saturday night. Messrs. Jones and Goff live together in the former's residence on Broad street, and have been on the most friendly terms, but recently Mr. Jones showed

symptoms of softening of the brain and this explains the attack. Mr. Goff was sitting at the table when Mr. Jones

rushed up back of him and cut a deep gash in his head with an axe, rendering him unconscious. Mrs. Goff was in the room, but her back was turned when the first blow was struck and she turned around just in time to see Mr. Jones strike the second blow. She pushed

him away, but could not get the axe

from him, and he was about to strike

the third blow when Mr. Goff recovered

consciousness, and, although the blood

was streaming from his head, he clinched with Jones and wrested the axe from him. Jones then ran out

of the house, but came back later and

was secured. He was taken to the Trenton Insane Asylum Sunday evening.

Stopped the Poaching.

A Scotch gentleman, plagued by poachers, procured a cork leg dressed in a stocking and shoe and sent it through the neighboring village by the town crier, who proclaimed that it had been found in a mantrap the previous night in Mr. Ross' grounds, who desired to return it to the owner. There was no more poaching after that.--Pick Me Up.

The grounds about the most costly homes in Siam are paved, no grass being allowed to grow. Flowers are grown in pots.

BE CAREFUL. The Legislature should be extremely careful in tinkering with the election law. There may be some crudities, some points that would be the better for simplifying, but in the main it is all right, and has worked well.

The enemies of the law would ask nothing better than the opportunity to get a chance at it, and so encumber it

as to afford opportunity for fraud to find an entrance.

Above all the attempt to foist the

Pennsylvania ballot upon our people should be thwarted. It is cumbersome, unwieldy, provocative of error,

and despite what may be said to the contrary, affords opportunity for fraud.

Nine out of every ten voters do not understand it, and the fact that an officer can enter the booth to instruct the voter is a fact sufficiently suggestive to all who can see the opportunity this would afford for an unscrupulous man.

Better let it alone, crudities and all,

than imperil the law by opening up an opportunity for its enemies to get in

their work.

Many Conversions in the County. In nearly every church in Cape May county revival services are now in progress. It is estimated that five hundred persons have professed religion in the county since the first of the year.

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.

Death's Work. W. E. Schermerhorn, Sr., died January 24th at the residence of his son, C. Howard Schermerhorn, 304 Ninth Fortieth street, Philadelphia, where he had been visiting since the Christmas holidays. Two years ago he suffered a shock of paralysis from which he never fully recovered. His death was due to

a combination of kidney and lung trouble.

Deceased was one of Ocean City's regular summer visitors, and was a very ardent admirer of our city-by-the-sea. He enjoyed many happy days

here.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, February 4, 1895.

COTTON STUFFS FOR SPRING. Try as they may, no other weaves quite get up to the Scotch level with Ginghams. Wonderfully close, some of them, so close that you almost think the over-sea leadership has been lost--until the stuffs are side by side. Such Novelty Ginghams as Whytlaw turns out! Such sterling grades as David and John Anderson produce! Lifted a little higher each year in fineness or finish or beauty--something. And now the prices pushed lower than fresh-from-the-loom goods of these brands were ever before put. At 12½c the yard. American Zephyr Ginghams, almost as fine as madras; checks, stripes and plain colors. At 20c the yard. Scotch Ginghams, made by one of the best mills in Glasgow. Mostly stripes in fancy corded effects. First time this quality was imported to sell at less than 25c. At 25c the yard. Scotch and American Ginghams. Almost every color known in Gingham and is worked out in large goods. At 30c the yard. Oxford Cheviots and Novelty Ginghams from Whtylaws. Every yard is fresh from the steamer; new patterns. At 35c the yard. David and John Anderson Ginghams, fine weaves and silky finish. At 50c the yard. Silk Ginghams, plaids, stripes, dots and self color figures. The cream of American productions.

A tangle of other Dress Cottons--without a familiar prettiness lacking, with many a new loveliness of weave or coloring caught in their filmy folds. And with prices all atilt your way. At 10c the yard. Black ground Sateens, chintz colored figures, every pattern new for 1895. Last season's price, 12½c. At 10c the yard. American Dimities, stripes and figures of the daintiest colorings. Look very much like the foreign at 25c. At 15c the yard. Cotton Crepes, plain and satin stripes, made to look like the Wool Crepes at $2. At 18c the yard. Bag-Par Crepe, all cotton, and just from the looms; color tints as perfect as in Silk Crepes d'Chine. At 16c the yard. Fancy woven Cotton Duck for outing dresses; new cloth for 1895. At 18c the yard. American Madras, for dresses and skirting, plaids, stripes and delicate colorings. More than 20 styles. At 25c the yard. Japonette, a real cotton novelty, without the high cost. At 37½c the yard. French Organdies, rich designs, color tints like natural flowers. At 45c the yard. Scotch Ganze Madras, cool and lovely for the hot days of July and August.

BLACK CHEVIOTS. Only the brightest, liveliest, finest wool, worked with wit, can make such exquisite stuffs. Seems like a heavy weight, but it isn't. Feels soft and yielding, but it's good for hard service. And the black! Brilliant, blooming. No fear that such a stuff will ever wear rusty. 75c quality at 50c. $1.00 quality at 75c. $1.25 quality at 85c. $1.50 quality at $1. FRENCH CHALLIS, 25 and 30c With wool prices as they are now, and with mill costs unchanged, the French manufacturers could not turn out these Challis at 25 and 30c. Same qualities at 50 and 60c last season. Printings are from 1894 rollers--that's the excuse. Two color work or dainty Dresden designs that suggest the flower work on chintz.

BLACK HENRIETTA Higher quality, better finish, lower cost. A most unlikely combination--but it's the unlikely of this sort that is all the time happening here. As much care for the colors as for the wool. No rusty or blue-blacks among them, every yard is of rich jet black that never looses its lustre. This is how prices slant:

75c grade at 50c. 85c grade at 60c. $1.00 grade at 75c.

$1.10 grade at 80c. $1.25 grade at $1.

WOMENS CLOTH CAPES, $10 Imported Camel's-Hair Cheviot, with plaid back, in choice dark gray and tan mixtures. Very fine. Very stylish--38 in. deep, with full over-cape; extra full sweep. Trimmed with broadcloth straps; inlaid velvet collar. Tailor finish throughout. Some of these Capes have been $30, none were under $20. They go to-

day to

$10 each!

CONTINENTAL BICYCLES Time was--and not long since--when Bicycle buying was as risky to the novice as horse buying. Now he is a foolish merchant who counts on ignorance of styles, qualities or possibilities on the part of his customers. Every other man or boy you meet knows a good Bicycle from a bad one; knows what frames and tires and bearings have best stood the test; knows saddles and handles, knows pedals and gearing. Wheels are sold on merit. That's what put the Continentals so far to the front last season; that's what will hold them in the van this season. Look them over--that long row of Continental samples in the Basement. Get your expert friend to look them over with you--then notice the price tags! A revolution and a revelation in Bicycle prices.

Model 26, "N. Y." tires, $50. Model 27, "N. Y." tires, $57.50. Model 29, "N. Y." tires, $75. Model 30 (22 lbs.), "N. Y." tires, $80. G. & J. tires, $5 extra. Ladies' Continentals. Model 25, "N. Y." tires, $60. Model 28, "N. Y." tires, $75. G. & J. tires, $5 extra. JOHN WANAMAKER.

I am prepared to furnish a first-class red brick guaranteed to withstand the frost or climatic changes, which has no

superior in the market at the present

time for use in paving. Not only are they a superior article, but the cost is

much less than those of other brands

now in use in our town.

TO THE REPUBLICAN AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS OF OCEAN CITY. Be it known that a permanent organ-

ization known as the Ocean City Re-

publican Club, with headquarters in

Howell's Hall, has been established for

the promulgation of Republican prin-

ciples and the solidifying of the Republican strength at the ballot box at every

election to be held in Ocean City. With the evidence before us of a large Republican majority at each election, we fail

to see any benefits arising therefrom to the party wither in municipal or county

affairs so far as we are concerned, and in order to sustain our just claims to recognition in the representation of our town we have formed this organization.

We desire to have the co-operation and assistance of all loyal Republicans and any others who may deem it wisdom to join our ranks, where the cardinal principle is that the majority shall rule and no boss dictation. Application may be made to the Secretary or any member for membership. To suit the opportunities of all applicants we have three degrees of member-ship--Active, Honorary and Contributive --the relations of which will be cheerfully explained to all who propose to join.

By order of the Club, I. S. CHAMPION, Secretary.
