Mecray.

How some of the sinews of war are

supplied to parties and politicians is shown in the admissions of Clerk Hulme that he received a bonus of about three thousand dollars a year for three or four years for depositing state funds in certain banks. This is one of the regrets of John Bardsley as he languishes in durance vile, but no one supposed that such vile practice obtained here. SPRING came in with a rush last week, the past three days being Maylike in temperature. Vegetation was given a boom and if it is not checked by a cold wave trees and plants will be well in leaf before another week

goes by. But while Philadelphia was favored with almost summer-like tem-

perature, in some of the South Atlantic States the temperature approached near the margin of frost. Wednesday noon the thermometer touched 70 degrees in Charleston, S. C., but in a few hours it took a tumble of 22 degrees and a cold rain set in that gave the early market gardeners a chill of fear lest a frost was to destroy for a second time this year their early vegetables. Fortunately the thermometer did not fall below 48 degrees, at which temperature growing vegetation is possible, and with the passing of the storm the thermometer rose again. It is probable that it was the last cold wave of spring that the south will feel this year, but what changes remain in store for this

neighborbood are not so sure.

NEW JERSEY'S BARDSLEYS.

The Bardsley business of paying and accepting interest, commissions or percentages on State money deposited in national banks it appears has been practiced on a large scale in New Jersey. It is safe to infer it is practiced nearly everywhere where the State does not get the full market rate of interest and where the laws do not require that such interest shall be paid to the State and that statements of the accounts be pub-

lished periodically.

New Jersey has kept a big temptation outstanding in this respect, by requiring that its money be deposited but by failing to require any interest at all. The use of this money was worth 2 or 3 per cent. a year to any bank or any person, and the banks and the treasury clerk simply gathered the apple crops which the owner left to rot on the trees. If the clerk got a commission the banks got the difference between what they paid him and what they charged for the use of the State deposits by borrowers. The money was deposited in perfectly safe banks and there never has been the slightest danger that the State

would lose anything.

In this the Republicans have one

more bad practice to correct, a practice

which has probably been going on ever since there were treasurers, banks and careless Commonwealths and municipalities. The practice has probably been known to many persons for the same length of time. Now that it is brought to light as something to be condemned let the State see to it that the temptation is removed, that she is paid the interest on her surplus and that the public is regularly informed of the amount of deposits distributed and interest paid. Then the State will have sharply drawn the line between right and wrong, and any offender will offend deliberately and should be pun-

ished accordingly.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, April 22, 1894. DRESS GOODS Bought enough new stuffs last week to stock a fair-sized store--and still the piles grow smaller; buying more now; always in the market for whatever is rich in interest. And the selling goes merrily on. Oftener than not our regular prices are below the most extravagant reductions the papers tell you of--they ought to be; for big buying lets us name the price very generally. Kerseymeres. Something on the order of grandmother's De Beige; prettier, though a bit heavier, the twill more closely woven. It is worth the sum we give it and it is here in five qualities and two widths. All the tints of green and brown. 45 inch, 50c, 60c, 65c, 75c. 48 inch, $1 a yard. Figured Brilliant, 75c. Two-colored weave of silk-and-wool, making a mottled ground with little tufts of the wool peeping through--but not hit-or-miss; there's a care for design. Imported Suitings, $1. Weaves of fine stripes in two-colored mixtures with figures like grains of wheat strewn over. Fancy Checks, $1. 36 weaves and color plays are shown; you'd think the looms were rioting from the mixes they've made. Can't show their beauties in just black and white, 47 inches wide. Crepe Brilliants. Prettiest ones are French; ten color mixes of silk-and-wool, mostly silk, green, gray, blue, tan, brown, olive and tints of each, with silvery threads of silk. $2.50 where you'll find them at all. $2 here. These are Yankee-made; the loom men twisting their brightest thoughts into woof and weft. Silk-and-wool, with a bit of Orientalism to the designing. $1.25. French Taffeta Plaids, 75c. Bright colored Plaids overplaided with contrasting colors in silk, on a light rope like ground. Favorite color combinations for fancy waists. Scarce everywhere but here, and a quality that has a right to be $1. Fifteen choice combinations. COTTON DRESS STUFFS. Counter after counter is given over to the selling of Cotton Dress Stuffs as they were never sold before. There's an aristocracy in cottons; 65 and 75c a yard in recognition of daintiness and beauty you'll welcome heartily. And still we sell Cotton Stuffs at 4c. Printed Lawns. Over 20 styles at 4c. Over 40 styles at 8c. Thin, filmy fabrics with a big lot of goodness at little cost. Two dress lengths for less than a dollar of one kind; and the 8c goods is at a saving of nearly half from the original price. Dress Cheviot, 5c. For the outing dress or for little folks' knockabout suits; strong and serviceable; pretty, too. The maker thought the retail price would be 10c and should be to count him a profit. Printed Delaine, 8c. The designer took his idea from high-priced wool cheviots in mottled effects, and then the finisher made them feel like wool. Altogether a good imitation; all cotton, and the maker tells us they are fast colors. A month ago they retailed at 12½c; our price to-day is 8c; 36 inch. Half-wool Challis. All American made, but a touch of French in the printing and weaving. The surprise is the price; always sold at 18c until this opening at 12½c; a few yards of ribbon to harmonize with the flowers and you've a pretty summer dress.

BLACK DRESS GOODS We've told of your needs leading us to double the space for black goods selling--but that didn't hint of the readiness, for it might have been very small before it was doubled; but it wasn't, and now four sections are loaded with all that's wantable in blacks. Here's one--sixty feet of counter, with four times that much shelf room just full of Figured Black Goods of all worthy grades--37½c to $2.50 a yard. At 50c a yard. Serge, granite and crepe-ground weaves with neat figures of peculiar designs that make them winsome. 38 inch, 11 styles. At 65c a yard. Taffeta, Serge and Granite ground, with dashes and splashes of tiny and medium size figures. 38 inches, 14 styles. At 75c a yard. A wider range of pretty weaves, sprinkled with such designs as coffee beans, cubes, polka dots and other designs. 40 and 42 inches, upward of 50 styles. At $1 a yard. Little higher grade of wool and weave, with a prominence of crepey ground effects. broad bid for all tastes. 42 to 44 inch, 40 styles. At $1.25 a yard. Higher grade of wool and figures, the mohair designs give most the brilliancy of silk. Rich taffeta and surah weave, with now and then a favorite diagonal. 52 inch, 40 styles.

HARNESS. Leather clear through Harness wanters walk through the shoe store half forgetting that the Basement right below them holds the most complete Harness store in town. There's not a skip in the readiness to supply all the road and stable needs. The first Harness we carry regularly in stock is $250 a double set. You've English-made and American-made side by side to choose from. But you needn't buy the ready-made; we'll turn out anything you need--the finest mountings alone costing as much as the best ready made Harness we show: Light Road Harness, honestly hand made; best leather, $25.50[?] to $50 a set. Hand-made Harness, genuine rubber mountings, $16.50[?]. Light Road Harness, sewed on Campbell lockstitch machine; imitation rubber mountings, $50.50. Haven't had a complaint in three years. The repair men say they'd rather rip up hand-sewing than this best machine work. If they could [?] heavy and hard-twisted thread on machines as in hand-making could almost count it best. More for this same style with genuine Rubber Mountings, $13.50[?]. Surrey Harness. Nickel plated mountings, $25. Solid nickel mountings, $35. Silver plated mountings, $40 and up to $75. Light Double Harness, nickel plate mountings, or imitation rubber; hand-sewed, $85. [?] and [?] up to $125. Imported Lap Robes, $7.50 to $15, in small checks, plaids, plain blue, green, drab. American-made Robes, plaids and plain, $4.25 to $8. Horse Sheet, 65c to $2.75. Cooling Blankets, square. $1.50 to $4. People who ought to know say we have more Harness on show than any other Harness store in Philadelphia and lower prices rule. It seems impossible to state our case fully in the papers. If you are interested we'll be glad to have you write. JOHN WANAMAKER.

A Deserved Compliment. The Bridgeton News says: The Rev. S. W. Lake, of this city, is a successful organizer and as a consequence has achieved much that would perhaps have been impossible with others not so happily constituted. In fact the Lake brothers, or "Lake boys" as familiarly known all along the coast, have a remarkable history when their earlier opportunities and means at hand are considered, and it is not too much to assume, perhaps, that in no such a place as Ocean City would have been known on our map but for the enterprise of these gentlemen, not for the present at least, and perhaps not for a long time to come, and not then on the moral, religious and temperance basis now established. What we started out to say, however, was that the building

or reconstruction of the new Commerce Street M. E. Church was in the very best hands possible and that there can be no such thing as fail with Mr. Lake at the back of it.

Criminals Sentenced. At the conclusion of the Atlantic County Criminal Court last Wednesday afternoon, Judge Thompson sentenced the following prisoners convicted at the term: Charles Johnson, larceny, four months; John Adamson, larceny, six months; William Vansant, breaking and entering, six months, all in the county jail. Joshua Foreman, keeping a disorderly house at Atlantic City, fined $100 and costs and sentenced to three months in the county jail; John Compton and William Smith, assault, each six months in the county jail. Mattie Carson, larceny, 18 months; Harry Boat, grand larceny, one year; Antonio Augustina, bigamy, one year; John Parker, assault, one year; Charles Wood, grand larceny, two years, all in the State prison. Michael Giorgette, assault, fined $25 and costs.
