THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1895. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

The petitions being circulated in

New Jersey asking the Legislature to pass a law conferring the elective fran-

chise upon women are being numer-

ously signed. It is now predicted that it will be the largest petition ever presented to the New Jersey Legislature.

SCHOOLS to teach swimming have grown into great favor, and those of Philadelphia are constantly crowded with learners. It is claimed that bathing has become so fashionable that every one should learn to swim. This apparently is good argument, but it is a singular fact that nearly every bather

drowned was a good swimmer.

GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT KIMBALL, of the Life Saving Service, has issued an official notification

that when the crews go on duty

again on August 1st they will be

furnished with a new uniform. The new uniform includes a coat of dark blue flannel or Kersey, single

breasted, and a belt of the same material, held in position by two plaits giving the appearance of a Norfolk

jacket. On the right sleeve of the coat,

midway between the shoulder and elbow, will be placed the emblems of the service--a crossed oar and boat-hook upon a life-buoy. On a corresponding piece of cloth on the left sleeve will be embroidered the surfman's number. They will also be furnished with a "winter service cap" of knitted dark blue yarn, with visor, and a band that can be turned down over the ears.

DON'T LIKE IT.

It is perfectly natural that the newspapers should not like the plan which the Senate Committee is reported to have adopted with reference to publishing the State laws. This plan "recommends the abolition of the present system of printing them in the newspapers and favors the Connecticut plan. This is to have the laws printed in newspaper form by contract, and have the edition large enough to supply each and every newspaper in the State, free of cost, any number of sheets desired." It is doubtful if self-respecting newspapers will have anything to do with any such plan. It is cumbersome, it is useless. The only advantage it has over the present system is that it saves

money.

Let us say once again that it isn't the State's business to save money or to

make money. It is to carry on the

government of the State in the best manner possible, at a just, proper and reasonable expense, nothing more, nothing less. If it were the State's business to save money it should abolish its public schools, disband its militia, repeal all laws involving public expense, and wipe out its courts of justice. That, however, is not the State's business. Neither is it the State's business to impose upon the influence and circulation

of the newspapers, acquired through

years of hard and conscientious work; nor is it its business to pass laws and not let the public know what they are.

Neither is it the business of the State to depend upon the enterprise and

ability of the newspapers to present summaries of the State enactments.

Plainly speaking, it is the State's business to promulgate the laws which it enacts; to let the people know what they are called upon to do, and what to

leave undone. And it is the State's business to do this, at any just, proper and reasonable cost.

The fact that the method of publishing the laws for many years has been unjust and expensive, is no excuse for greater injustice merely to save expense, and the Senate Committee should not blacken their fair record by the adoption

of any such incompetent and unreasonable scheme.

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel."

MAY'S LANDING.

The public school closes to-morrow. John C. Troub is making noticeable improvements to his Main street cottage.

Mrs. H. B. Lake, who has been seriously ill, is greatly improved in health.

RICHLAND.

Rev. J. M. Lyons, of Russellville, Pa., has been called to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church. The completion of the new church building is assured, as the congregation has been materially aided by William J. Coxey, of Camden.

HAMMONTON.

T. W. Mintzer was charged with assault and threatening to take the life of John

W. Myers, was put under bonds to keep the peace Friday night.

Pasquale Raniere, an Italian farmer, who also runs a macaroni factory at this place, was taking a load of berries to the depot when his horse became unmanageable and threw him off, injuring him internally. His recovery is

doubtful.

The Presbyterian Church at this place has been sold to an Italian Presbyterian Mission and will be moved to the upper part of the town. A handsome structure will take the place of

the old one.

EGG HARBOR CITY.

Mrs. Peter Brown, aged 75 years, who

mysteriously disappeared from her residence in Weekstown Thursday morning, was found dead in "Cuff's Crip-

ple" swamp, Garclark's Landing, about four miles from this place. The woman was probably overcome by the intense heat while making her way through the dense swamps. She was discovered late last Friday night by her son, Edward, who was searching for her day and night. This is in the same vicinity in which aged Mrs. Geltzer was lost last year, and subsequently met death in a similar manner.

During the exercises at the cemetery Thursday afternoon, several persons

were overcome by the intense heat, among them one of the public school scholars. The exercises were cut short on account of the heat. Captain Chas. Saalmann delivered the oration. John J. Gardner Camp participated, and for the first time carried its handsome silk

banner, recently purchased.

In the evening, exercises were held at the Aurora Hall. Among the speak-

ers was Congressman Gardner.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Charles Dougherty, Sr., reported to police headquarters that while riding in a bus with two young women they

robbed him of $218.

Edward Drouin left a souvenir spoon

at police headquarters to be given to the police officer who arrested him for dis-

orderly conduct.

One of the large engines at the electric light station late Wednesday night blew out one of its cylinder heads, wrecking the machine and putting out the lights for several hours in one

section of the city.

City Council, Friday, inspected the new police alarm system which was put into operation Wednesday for the first time. It worked to their entire satisfaction. Chief Engineer Whippey has officially designated June 25th as firemen's day and directed the department to prepare for its annual official inspection. Eugene Schwinghammer, a boy of 10 years, was struck by an electric car at Morris and Atlantic avenues, Chelsea, late Sunday evening. The lad sustained a compound fracture of the left hip, and serious internal injuries, and Dr. L. H. Armstrong fears he cannot recover. The motorman and conductor of the car were arrested, and held to await the result of the boy's injuries. Sunday was a very hot one here, and Rev. Thomas J. Cross, pastor of the First Baptist Church, was prostrated in his pulpit Sunday morning, and it was necessary to discontinue the service. Adam Kaeber, of Philadelphia, was also prostrated at the Reading Station and was removed to the City Hospital.

PORT REPUBLIC.

The tolling of the church bell conveyed the intelligence of the passing

from our midst of the gentle spirit of Mrs. Daniel Rose. She has suffered for many months from that dire disease consumption, with that patience and resignation that only the Christian can. Peacefully she yielded, surrounded by her loving children who have been the most devoted watchers and

comforters.

Captain Lewis Blake is at home for a trip attending to the building of his yacht. Captain Charley Blake is at home preparing his pleasantly situated home for occupancy.

Joseph Collins appears to love to draw the reins over a young and spirited horse and the animal seems to enjoy taking the bit between his teeth as well as his master likes to have him do so, but loses time in lifting his feet too high. Miss Lida Allen occupies her girlhood home, the handsome Ashley residence, having rented her own property at Oceanville. The strawberry crop looks as if it might be a profitable one. W. H. Fenton's home, on the site of the old one, is nearing completion, and externally it is a counterpart of the one lately destroyed by fire. Wood and chicken thieves still hold sway and will continue to do so as long as no one has ambition enough to look after them. Everybody feels sure where the missing articles go. What a reputation to have. Both the public and private schools have closed, as the merry sound of the let-loose urchins declare. The weather croakers are prophesying a dry and hot season.

The innocent playful antics of Henry Bates' horse proved a little too severe for Adam's and his master's nerves, therefore he parted with the beautiful animal, and bought one that don't run away. The changed prospect of the weather cheers and warms the farmers' hearts, while last week, although so very hot, it gave them the chills. It is good to see that nearly all who once lived in Port come again to see us. Mr. James Freas, our dear old neighbor and friend, with his wife, made a short visit to his friends at this place. Strawberries--nice, ripe, sweet strawberries are here, the warm weather tending to sweeten them. We hope that thousands of dollars will flow into Atlantic county's coffers from the crop this year.

Mrs. Ashley, our popular dressmaker,

is nearly worn out by demands upon her by her customers. Were it not for the services of her talented daughter, Miss Janet, she could only begin to meet the demand.

The decoration services were well attended and visited by several strangers and old friends, among whom was noticeable that determined and successful character, Eben Adams, who acceptably addressed the audience. Not many towns of its size have turned out

so many successful, enterprising young

men and women as has Port Republic.

We wish we had business enough to keep them with us.

Vincent Lake and family, of Pleasantville, visited Captain John Hentley's family last Sunday. He brought with him Miss Marette Frambes, who paid a few hours' visit to her parents. She looks as if she enjoys her work.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, June 2, 1895.

The fifth Summer sale of Muslin Underwear is in progress. Wanamaker's June and January sales of women's underwear and wrappers and infants' goods attract countrywide attention. Each recurring sale brings added interest thro' the larger and more important transactions possible in this growing business--long without a peer in America. We are constantly raising the standard of excellence; leading you to expect more and more of us--and this sale is added proof that we more than meet those expectations. The 500,000 garments ready for this occasion embrace every proper grade and the sale appeals to every woman, no matter how exacting her tastes; no matter how slender her purse. The values are revelations! We have grown to expect followers among the other merchants, but they follow only the borrowed idea--the stock we offer being unmatched by any ever shown in this country. A partial catalogue sent on request. HALF-WOOL CHALLIS, 10c Nobody needs to be told of Challis beauty and Challis goodness--and you wouldn't guess these to be less than pure wool, from their looks; but they are cotton one way--hidden by the richer wool. Standard price 18c. We have gotten lots to sell at 12½c, but now they are 10c. BLACK GRENADINE, $1 The lowest price on these wanted stuffs has been $1.75, but the importer, anxious to make quick clearance, took a round loss and passed the goods to us. Satin striped camel's-hair Grenadine, three styles of stripe, 44 inches wide. $1 instead of $1.75. BLACK CREPON Dame Fashion never uttered a word that awoke such a worldwide echo--Crepon. The demand has been wonderful--it continues. With perfect confidence in the rich wavy stuffs we keep the stock at highwater mark, with only such economies as come from great buying. Wool, mohair, silk, 75c a yard to $4. WOMEN'S WASH DRESSES Not much need of sweltering under the weight of unseasonable garments. No need at all to be dowdy because the day is warm. Hundreds and hundreds of the neatest and prettiest Wash Dresses are ready, with less than ever to pay for them. For instance: Duck Suits, blazer, cutaway coat, $2; braided, $2.25. Printed Pique Suits, stripes and checks; cutaway coat with broad facings, $2.50. Duck Dresses, more invisibly trimmed, $3. No matter at what price, you'll find the correct and liberal cut in sleeves and skirt. Lawn Dresses, tight waist, plaited, crushed collar; liberal ruffles, $4. Lace trimmed, $5. Dimity Dresses, fancy stripes, V front, large sleeves with over-rope, silk stitched, $3.30. White Pique Dresses--blazer, Eton and cutaway, $5.50.
