Gamblers and infidels 'may be very

brave, but lew have faith eQough in

their profession to teach it to tbeir own

children.

No party ever gained anythioe by

violating its pledges. The Bepublican

party in 1896 pledged itself to a protect-

ive tariff and another effort to bring

about international bimetalism. The

people who are complaining that these

pledges are beiog carried out ought to

realize that a failure to keen them

would not onlr be bad faitb but bad

policy as well.

License for Rum.

For tho benefit of those who are

anxious to know why Council has not

passed an ordinance, I wish to make a

statement because some may suppose

that I am guilty of delaying and ob-

structing its passage. The fact is thai

I am the one who has urged that the

thing be done-at once. It is the "other

aide" who has made all the delay.

Here is how the matter stands. Last

March Council organized and appointed

me on the "Comittee on Ordinances."

The committee was directed to report

an ordinance at the next meeting. It

was done promptly—no. delay. Then

that tortoise method which delayed the

electric light came into play, Which is

to refer the town business to Mr.

Stephany, which took a month. After

it came back, they offered a "substitute."

I could have quibbled over the so-called

substitute, as the members do not seem

to know what they doing with parlia-

mentary law, but J did nothing to

them. I then requested them to hold a

special meeting, so as to finish their

work.

At tbe June meeting Mr. Sutton

made a motion that a special meeting be

Mid. It was adopted unanimously.

[t was understood by all present that it

was not an adjourned meeting. Last

Saturday the special meeting was held,

when Mr. Anderson made the point

that, according to the reading of the

minutes, it was an adjourned meeting.

Every member admitted that it was

really u separate special meeting. If

the minutes were incorrect it was

proper to correct them. They have not

even yet been approved. Mr. Sutton

one, and it was so expressed as tho

ntention by all at tho former meeting,

and ho was correct. Mr. Ballard re-

marked thut it was a "put up job," but

Tailed to state how, when, or by whom

the aforesaid job was "put up." Cer-

tainly it cannot bo charged on tho aoti-

liccneu members, aa they were thero to

do business, and raised np objection.

All tho delay came from tbo other side.

I have opposed all delays, especially tbo

Stephany delays.

Now, who is responsible ? Perhaps

French's prospective hotel is not ready

for tho ordinance yot. Alter it is fin-

ished, delays may not occur. I wish to

extremely so—for tho ordinnnco busi-

ADVENTURESOF A DIAMOND.

The Tibxt d.ny brought the medicine,but no diamonds.

"Go, die like a (log In the Jungle,"said the overseer, nn-srily. "I don'tknow what la the matter with you.

The slave kissed the ground -wherethe great overseer stood amd crawledaway, very lame Indeci. By and bythat lame slave, pretty nearly well,turned up at Madras. His leg got wellwhan he took the diamond out of thewound. He had the largest diamond luthe world to sell and when he bad.• ->ne so he thought he would be a verygreat man, and have slaves of his own.and even an elephant, too. He woulddo Just as he liked far the rest of hislife, He came across a ship captain towhom he showed the diamond.

"I sometimes buy stones like that,"said the captain airily. He was nearlychoking with surprise at the beautyand the enormous size of the gem."Come down to my ship and we wlJlsee If we cannot come to a bargain."The captain was a seafaring man onland, but when at sea he wae some-thing more like a pirate, as the slavefound out when he went down to hisship.

The captain was waiting for him,not with a bog of moaey, however, butwith a club. The slave was killed andthrown overboard to feed the sharks,and that was the end of Mm and hisfine dreams of wealth and happiness.The captain now wanted to sell his Ill-gotten diamond, Jainchund, a mer-chant, gave him a thousand pounds forIt, and thereupon he turned over thestone to that individual.

Fancy a piratical skipper with anevil conscience and a thousand poundsIn hand in one lump. What should hedo to show his happiness but take todrink? He did so, and one fine day,mad with drtnk, he could not think ofany other way to get rid of the haunt-Ing image of that wretched slave whomhe had Milled, than by tying a ropearound his own neck, and drawing It sotightly that all Images were for evermore blotted out So the skipper hang;ed himself, and that was the secondowner of the big diamond who hadcome to grief.

Now Jamchund thought he wouldgo to the Governor of Fort St. Georgewith his etone. Mr. Pitt was the^gov-

A slave, poor and naked, was tolling•In the mines at Portreal, in India, justas many ttanisOTdg~of~oitliers were toil-Ing- beside him, scraping up the pebblysoil, washing the mud, carefully look-ing for diamonds. Everybody -was look-ing for diamonds, except those whowere looking after the slaves. AH thelarge diamonds belonged to the Mogul,but he never got theiu; all the lesser .etonea belonged to the Emir, who got j f™m' a 8^ gf^an- ̂ *& a

. _ ' ° \ mr nr TTVirtlner rvn nia j-vn-in ax\^us,n<n-f•very few of tliem; and none at all be-longed to the slaves, who only stolethem. To steal a dkunomd was theUgliest of crhnes^ln Golconda and was'Often punished by death. And yet the

.- slaves were continually stealing them.The slave of whom we speak was toll-

: Ing, washing, looking nnd remembering• how many had escaped with diamonds;

he began to consider what he should doIn case he found .one. There would not

• be the least use lu swallowing It."I have It!" he said, slapping his lean

leg. "I have thought of a now way ofhiding a diamond!"

That night, when all was still, he gota sharp flint aud mode n great gash Lnthe Orm muscle of the calf of his leg,and tben carefully bandaged it up withsome green leaves uud au old cottonrag.

"What's the matter with your leg?"said the overseer in the morning.

"Oh, nioMt excellent master! my un-••worthiness slipped and' fell against u. aharp rock In the night-time. Hee! thei blood of your faithful alave Hows from'the. wound."

lie raised a corner of his iMJidage,nnd Mire enough several drops of bloodtrickled down.

•"Uiuphl" said the overseer, "I'm notgoing to kit you off your work on ne-

• count of lihat scratch.""My fnltlifiilneMH will work to the

death for you, oJi, iiohlo master," HjiJilthe alnve.

Thus Jamchun to Pitt."Come along now, and show what

ever you've got to sell and don't keepme here all day."

TMius Pitt (approximately) to Jam-chund.

There were also pljxja and pauses Inthe conversation so that It took u longtime In reality. Finally Jamchundopened a box and showed to MX. Pittthe largest diamond he hod over seeai,considerably larger than he had evereven dreamed of.

Ho goaped with amazement. Jaiu-clmnd rejoiced Inwardly.

"Boah!" said Wa Excellency, an<lturning to -an EngEaU ecntloman heasked him his o-pln-lon.

"My opinion," said the oraclo, "Is thata thins that Is worth forty-seven thou-sand pagodas Is very llkply to be worthforty-elgUt thousand." N

"Thaji-k yon," said tlio GJpvornor. "Inever thought about It In tWat light be-fore. I will pay farty-dghtthousaadpagodas tJieji."

And he paid them.The advice sounded foolish, but It

proved valuable, for upon that diamondthe fortunes of a great family were sol-idly founded. The MJ. Pitt -who boug-h,tthis diamond was grandfather to thegreat Earl of Chatham.

Behold now Air. Pitt the possessor ofthe big diamond, and his troubles bo-gnn almost as soon aa fchnt fact becameknown. When he returned to Englandhe had his stone cut and polished. Ittook two years to do that, and at theend of that time Pitt's eyo* -were alad-aenea with tne sight or the moet aaz>-zling gem the world luul eve* beheld.

"Who'll buy, who'll buy?" was nowhis cry. But though mamy would, no-body could. Kings amd querns shooktheir heads sadly. It was beyond them.The big diamond became an.awful bur-den to Its owner. Everyone was a thiefin his fancy. A learned German trav-eled to England and wanted to see Pittand his pebble. i

"Never!'' said the harassed owner."He will assassinate me." He fled totown, he changed his name, he fledback to the country, and elianged hisname acraln. The learned German con-sidered such a life not worth living atany price. By this time Pitt neverdared to sleep two consecutive nightsin the same house.

At last somebody canie forward as apurchaser. This time a real one. Itwas Louis, Duke of Orleans, Regent ofFrance for the boy king Louis XV. StSimon, a wily courtier, tempted theDuko to buy the big diamond.

The Duke of Orleans objected."TVe have no money in the treasury,"

he said."That Ls nothing! You can borrow,"

saJd the conr/Her."We have no credit""Still less Important! Borrow from

the people.""The people are starring," said the

Duke."Highness, buy the diamond. The

people will applaud your spirit. Theywill be proud to think their king wearsa diamond that no other monarch daredto buy. The French admire a spiritedpolicy. Buy it. They will never tauntyou with it." Thus spoke St. Simon,courtier and philosopher, thoroughlyunderstanding his nation. The big dia-mond was bought and the sum paid toMr. Pitt was $075,000. He had givenJamchund ?100,000. Jamchund gavethe skipper $5,000, and the Blcippei gavehis life and so did the slave. A costlystone, Indeed!

Now a strange thing happened.During tie revolution this big dia-

mond was stolen along with all the re-itof the French orown Jewels. There wnsa tMTltlc row, and political parties ac-cused each other of the theft. Somewaid It wn« t'he royalists, and Home wildIt was the republicans. Howei-or that•may bo the thieves wwe certainlyFrenchmen, for n few days nfte-rwmdthe secrcitairy of the Garde, Mobile gotn note to say that he had only to huntIn a »]io.t carefully described in theChampa EIy«ee« to llud the biff dln-imxud.

-Jare Find Mode by n Native la Span-iah Colombia.

A savapo, wa.cderlng through tho;wuinp Infested lowLinda of ypanish.jO'lomWa, about 300 miles from the stxi'•ivast; found a heavy white nujrget,.vhjch a few days later he gave to thunearest trader for a battle of runi..Th-):iujg«t, which passes as native curre'a-;y, was sent as a draft to an dixntlnirmerchant of New York. It la said tobe the largest nugget of platinum atpresent In America.

Although the little object measuresipporoxlmately only 3 by 2% Inches, Itweighs nearly two pounds. It la of abluish white luster, and contain* fully35 per cent of rare platinum. The ad-illtdonal ingredients of the nugget arcrhodium, gold and palladlucs.

What enhances the Importance of theQnd IB that the ordinary platinum nug-get la about the size of a canary seed.Tho Intrinsic value of the Mg nuggetis $350, but as a specimen It Is worthmuch more. Plattaum \a qnotwTat $14an ouuce, while absolutely pure gold Isquoted at $20.67 an ounce.

The big nugget was transferred toBaJter & Co., plaitinum refiners, ln> Lib-erty otreet. C. O. Baker has sent it forInspection to H. T. Day, chief of thegeological,survey to Washington.

"We ore trying to learn, the exact lo-cality where the nugget was found,''said Mr. Baker. "Exports from thatportion of Spanish Colombia are verycontradictory, and unreliable. It wasfound near a river, tihe name of whichwe do not know. The objective pointot th.it part of the country Is BueaaVentura. Although gold, platinum andother valuable metals seem to abt>undthere, the miasmatic ewampe are BOdeadly as to render placer mining al-most Impracticable.

'This firm sent a man down thereten years ago,- but he has never beenheard from. He was either murderedor died of malaria. We have alwaystried to encourage platinum mining inSouth America and the United States.We hope this find -will be brought to theattention of mtoens on the Pacific coastWe know that a great deal of platinumgoes to waste In California, The greatplatinum country IB to the Ural moun-tains of Russia. The Russians turnout from 80 to 00 per cent of the plat-inum of the world. , They are very un-satisfactory to their dealings, and wowould like to free ourselves from theRussian yoke by encouraging the min-ing of platlauin here."

Platinum was first discovered early:n tho sixteenth century In a Spanishmine of South America, from whichsource it receives Its name, "platlna delPinto"—little silver from the riverPinto. It is the rarejst and most peeu-llnr of metals. In contradistinction to,,lUi'ininum, tho lightest, It Is tho hoav}/ic-st of metals. It la twice ne heavysilver, and niearly throe rimcathan east Iron. Platinum IB almost nasoft A« eopjH'r nnd ns ductile us gold.It (-Jin bo rolled into shocta so thin thatn thousand of thoan piled on top of «ichother would not exceed nn Inch IniH'Ifillt.

Tlio Italians took Ilanimontoa byBtorm yesterday,— arriving by an earlyspecial train on the Beading, by bussesfrom Vineland and elsewhere, by alltho regular trains, in all sorts of vehi-cles, and a-foot. They aro pne of thehappiest races on earth, and came herefor a good time. They certaiuly had it.As usual, St. Joseph's Church wasdecorated, and constituted the centre,around which, in every direction, thecrowds gathered, -while hokey-pokeymen and other vendors solicited theirpatronage from establiaments of variedstyles of architecture. The band, acombination, with twenty-eight men,made good music all over town, all day.The parade was formed about fiveo'clock, and proved, a picturesque per-formance, — the statues being the chiefpoint of interest.

That Council Meeting.

At the regular meeting on Juno 20tb,Mr. Button moved that "when Counciladjourn it bo to bold a special meetingthis Saturday two weeks, July lOthj tofurther consider the license ordinance."This was carried without dissent, andevery member understood that theintention was to hold a special meeting.Yet, when Council was called to order,last Saturday evening, the question wasraised, whether this was an adjournedor a special meeting. Certainly, themotion was unfortunately worded.

Mr. Anderson said, in substance, "Iam in favor of this ordinance; • but Iwant no doubt about the legality of itspassage. If ibis is an adjourned meeting,we cannot act upon it, and I fear thatsome may so consider it. I move weadjourn."

This produced a storm. Mr. Ballarddeclared Mr. Button's motion, as record-ed, a "put-up-job to delay ..the—ordin-ance." Mr. Sutton shouted,— "Themotion is correctly recorded, and wecan proceed. It the ordinance is in-spired by the Devil, as Mr. Hoyt saysin the SOTJTH JEKSEY REPUBLICAN,letus stand by it." [We judge from hislanguage the speaker has no more usetor the Editor than the Editor has for abag of wind.] Residents in the neigh-borhood were excited by the racket,and some of them 'came over to investi-gate. There were many excited speeches;but finally Mr. Andrews seconded themotion, and it was carried.

Then the discussion was continuedoutside, under the arc light; and afterthe members parted, one of them washeard to say, as ho walked down VineStreet, "I'll make him show his band II'll make him vote on it 1" Evidentlythe dove of peace has deserted ourCouncil Chamber, and the advocates oflicense are not harmonious.

The matter goes over until the nestregular meeting, July 31st. Then what ?

HOT EL MORGUE AND ITS GUESTS

To Hotel Morgue the guests come inWith n strangely silent air.

And however boin'trous a mnn has boonHe makes no noaso nnd he makes no din

When onco he enters there.Anil however poor, he rides in srtato,Stretched at his caa«, through tho hole)

gate.

A bath and a gown and cool, cool bedAre ^iven to nil who come,

But never a one is wined or fed,And never a word by one Is said,

For the guests are always dumb.And whatever is done, and however they

fa re,They ou-ly lie nnd stare arxl stare.

From Hotel Morgue tie Ruests pass onFull oft at the break of dny.

And Ihoy pay no bill as forth at dawnWith staring eyes a.nd white lips drawn

. They silently sail away. sf'3Thong* clothed and shelteredftind asked

no price,To Hotel Morgue no guest comes twice.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

A SLIGrHT MISTAKE.

I said,

mother,

"Marriage Is the saving of a youngman," said my Aunt Tabltha senten-tlously.

I assented, for I find It pays to give aready acquiescence to abstract propo-sitions.• "You must marry," continued myaunt.

I hesitated, for to assent to the con-crete Is more dangerous.

"I am still very young,"meekly.

My aunt turned to my"Whom shall Alfred marry?"

My mother shook her head."Somebody nice," she volunteered."What do you say to Letitia Brown-

low?" asked my aunt"I would prefer to say notMnff to

Letltta Brownlow," I interposed,hastily.

"O-: Amelia Stafforth?""Is -she not rather"—my mother

waved one hand—"and Attre.1. Is soslim."

"I think she has a very fine figure,"responded my aunt. "Or there ls Ger-trude Williams; she will have a for-tune If she outlives her sisters."

"There are only five of them," I ealdhopefully.

"Or Mabel Gordon?""She has taken a course of cooking

lessons," observed my mother."No, none of these!" I cried, de-

cisively.My aunt looked offended."Very well, then, choose for your-

self," she said, tartly."Perhaps that would help," I re-

marked, thoughtfully."You will choose somebody nice,

won't you, Alfred?" Bald my mother."With money," oliscrvod my aunt."Well connected," emphasized my

mother."Not- too young," added my aunt."And rollg-lous," hogged my mother."There Is no objection to her being

good looking?" I awkod, a trifle t imid ly ."No, 1 th ink not," said my aunt, "pro-

vided slio fullj ' understands beauty Isbut skin di>(>p."

"1 will tell her," I nflrimircd."Woll," .said my ,aSffit, Impatiently,

after a short pause, "whom do you HUK-gest?"

I thought for a moment."What do you aay to WlnlfroiJ

I'Ynser?""That minx!" cried my aunt."Oh, Alfred!" ochood my mother.'Why not?" I linked."Such a dreadful family," M i i l d my

mother ,"So faul!" Interjected my a u n t ."Hut. havo you never noticed the mm

on her hair?" I »Hked, Innocently.My aunt drew hor,sell' up."Wo havo no! noticed the nun on her

hair," ii l ie nald, w i t h much digni ty;"nor do wo wlHh to oliiioi've tho HUH ouher lialr."

1 WIIH J imt ly annoyed. "I really t h i n kIt miiHl bo Winifred FniMor," 1 wild."Hhe l« very fond of mi' "

"How can you be BO cruel lo mo!"cried my mother . "Have yim no-ticed how gray my h a i r I M K I > | | | I I I ; ? Youwill nut have me l i ' l i i ; " She d rew < > u lher hnn i l luTr l i l r f .

"I i l i f l not know Constance- was en-jraged."

"I t Is a secret; you must not rrpcatw!ial 1 have told you."

"1 don't like these secret engage-ments," said my aunt , brunuely."Who to)d you?"

"Sho told me heranlf.""Who Is the man?""I do not think I should repeat hi

name.""I hope Constance is not throwing

herself aw.y."J shook my head doubtfully'."You know the man?"I nodded."Is ho quite—quiteAgain I shook my head doubtfully."What ha ve you heard?" my aunt

'-sited, eagerly.''I don't think I ought to repeat these

'.hlnps.""You can surely trust your mother,"

murmured my mother."And my discretion," said my aunt."Well," I said, "I have been told he Is

cruel to his mother.""Really!" cried the two ladles In a

breath.His mother told me so herself."

"How sadj" said my mother."And what else?" asked my aunt."Another relation of his told me he

was depraved."Poor, poor Constance!" whispered

my mother."And would probably end badly."I expect he drinks," said my aunt,

grimly."Does Constance know thls^" sked

my mother."I don't think so.""You did not tell her?""Of course not.""I consider It your duty to.""I really cannot.""Then I will," eald my aunt, reso-

lutely."What I have said haa been In con-

fidence.""I do not care.""I beg you not to do BO:-"It Is my duty. I am too fond of

Constance to allow her to throw herselfaway on this worthless man."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Do as youplease, but don't mention my name. Bythe way, Constance said she wouldprobably call this afternoon."

At that moment the bell rang."That may be she," said my aunt,

flying to the window. "It Is."I got up slowly and saunterofl Into

the conservatory, which adjoins thedrawing-room. From behind a frtead-ly palm I could see without being s«en.I saw my aunt look toward my mother.

"If we open her eyes," I heard herwhisper, "It may pave the way forAlfred;"

My mother said nothing, but I sawthe same hope Hhine from her eyes.

The door opened and tho servant nn-nounced Constance. She came forwardwith a l i t t le eager rush; then r.oppedshort, embarrassed by the want of re-ciprocity.

"Wo arc glad to sen you," said mymother, and kissed her.

My aunt came forward. "We werejutit speaking of yon," she said, nolemn-ly. "Sit down."

Constance looked a I l l l i e crushed. "Ithought Alfred would have told yon,"she murmured.

"We have hesird " began my a u n t ,"Hush," Interposed my mother.

"Come nearer (no, ( 'oiiNtaiU'i ' . Won'tyon take off your ha t?"

Constance came and wi t by her side."I wan anxloiiH to come and tel l youtha t - t ha t "

"If you are alluding to your engage-ment," Hiild my a u n t , Homowlmt HO-verol.v, "we have already heard of II."

"Yon have hoiinl!" cried Coimtanoo."With the deepest HOITO-W."Coi iHlance drew hcrm'lf up."Yon do not approve?" -sho nuked,

proudly."Wo love you loo much," imld my

mother, gently.Coiitttuixt! looked bewildered."Yon are loo good for the wretch!"

In tho adjoining room I waa becom-ing uncomfortable.

"We thought it right to tell you." sainmy aunt, moved by her tears, "thoughAlfred bogged and Implored us not to."

j "I could never, nover havej It," sobbed Constance. "Poor, poor

Airs. Granvllle!"My mother soothed her."How difficult you must havo felt It

ts tell me this," exclaimed Constance,drying her tears. "It was so good ofyou. I will not (rive him . anotheithought. To treat his mother so cruel-ly! Oh, Mrs. Granvllle, I ani so sorryfor you!"

"It is I who am sorry for you," saidmy mother, doubtfully.

"And no one would have dreamed It.We always thought you were so fondof him and spoiled him utterly. Andall the time you were hiding your eorrow. How noble of you!"

My mother looked at Aunt Tablthawho returned her stare.

"Who ever Is It?" said Aunt Tabitna,whispering. "Find out."

"Where did you meet him, dearest?*whispered ray mother.

"Meet him? Why, here, of course,"said Constance, with opening- eyes.

"Yes, yes, of course," said my mother,mystified.

"I thought you wbulu be pleased, andI hurried across to tell you."

"Can Alfred have made a mistake?"muttered my aunt, hoarsely.

The two elder ladles stood still In thiutmost embarrassment.

"I shall never be happy again," saidConstance, mournfully.

"Don't eay that," Implored mjmother. "Perhaps there is a mistake."

"How can there be a mistake?" askedConstance, raising her head.

"There can be no mistake," eald mjaunt, hastily.

"How could he be cruel to you?" criedConstance, kissing my mother.

"Cruel to me?" cried my mother."Yon said he was cruel to you.""Of whom are you speaking?" cried

both ladles."Of Alfred, of course."The two elder ladies sat down sud-

denly."You are not engaged to Alfred?"

they gasped simultaneously."To whom else?" said Constance, In

amazement."There Is some misunderstanding," 1

observed, smoothly, coming In at themoment.

The three fell upon me together.It took at least an hour to explain.

Yet I had said nothing which was notstrictly true. i

"You will not allow these practicalJokes when you aro married, will you,Conny?" said my mother, fondly.

"I will not," replied Constffncc, tightenlng her lips.

TEXT: "Ami Samuel said, What moanetlithen this bloating ot the sheep in mineoars and tho lowing ot the oxon which Jhoar?"—I Samuol xv., 14.

. The Acnnlokitog thought they had con-quered God and that he would not carrjInto execution his threats against thornThey had murdered the Israelites in battleand out of battle and lolt no outrage un-tried. For ' four hundred years this hadbeen going on, and they say, "God oitheidoro not punted us or he has forgotten tcdo so." Lot ua see. Samuol, God'sprophot, tolls Saul to go down and slay alltlio Amulokitos, not leaving one of themalive; also to destroy all the boasts In thehpossession'— ox, shoop, camel and ass.Hark, I hear tho troad of 210,000 men, wltbmonstrous Haul at their head, ablaze witharmor, his shield dangling at his side, hold-Ing In his hanil n spear, at the waving olwhich the groat host marched or halted. 1LSBO smoke curling against the sky. Nowthoro Is a thick cloud of it, and now I seetho whole city rising In a chariot of smokebehind steads of tiro. It la Saul that set thecity ablaze. Tho Amalekltes and Israelitesmeet; tho trumpets of battle blow peal onpeal, and thoro is a death hush. Thenthoro Is a signal waved, swords cut andhack, javelins ring on shields, arms fallfrom trunks ami heads roll into the dust.Gash after gash, the frenzied yell, thegurgling of throttled throats, the cry olpain, tho laugh of revenge, the curso hlssodbetween clinched teeth—an army's doatcgroan. Stacks of dead on all sides, wltboyes unshut and mouths vet grinning ven-goanco. Huzza for the Israelites! Twchundred and ton thousand men wave thehplumes aud chip thoir shields, for the Lore'God hath given thorn tho victory.

Yet that victorious army of Israel is con-quered by sho.sp nnd oxon. God, througttho prophet Samuel, told Saul to slay attho Anmlokitos and to slay all the- boosts lcthoir possession, but Saul, thinking h<knows moro than God, saves Agag, theAmalokitish king, and flvo drove of sheerami a herd o( oxon that he cannot bear tckill. Saul drives the sheop and oxen dowctoward homo. Ho has no Idea that Samueltho prophet, will llnd out that he has savedthose sheep and oxon for himself. Samue:•comes und asks Saul tho news from thebattle. Saul puts on u solemn face, foithoro Is no one who can look more soiemrthan your gonulno hypocrite, and ho says•"I have fulfi l led tho command of tinLord." Samuel listens, and ho hoars th<drove of sheop a little way off. Saul had ncidea that tho prophet's oar would bo scacute. Samuel says to Saal, "If you hav<done as God tohl you and slain all tin 'Amalekltos and all tho beast in thoir pos-session, what meunuta tho bleating of th(sheep Iu mine oars imrt tho lowing of th<oxou that I hoar?" Ah, one would hnv<thought that blush™ would havo con--sumo.l the cheek of Saul. No.no! Hosaystli« army—nut hiuisolf, of course, hut theJinny—hail saved thn sheop ami oxou foijinernk'e, nml thi-n tliny thought It wouli!bo too had anyhow to ki l l Agag, tho Amalo-kl t lsh king. Samuel takes tin) sword, andln< slushes Agag t i> pieces, und thou IKtake;, t l i i i s k i r t nf his coat Iu tnio orientalstyle und remit! It In twain, as inueh iuto iny, "You, Maul . just I lko that, shall IHtorn nway from your empire and torn awajfrom your tlironi!," In other words, lotnil the nat ion^ of the earth hear the storjthat Saul, hy dl.iot>eylng l loil , won n Hock•of nhoi i |> , but loit a k ingdom.

Ottacasafter a while came In, and supposing howas In entire privacy knelt before- Eandol-phus. The servants pulled the cord, thotont dropped, and two armies surroundinglooked down on Ottacas kneeling boforoEandolphus, If wo were really knoellng totho world while wo profess to bo lowlysubjects of Jesus Christ, tho tont has al-ready dropped and all the hosts of heavenaro gazing'upon our hypocrisy. God'suniverse is a very public place, and youcannot hide hypocrisy in It.

I learn further from Jhls subject howlaturnl it Is to try to put off our sins on5ther people. Saul was charged with dis-obeying God. Tho man says It was not ho;w did not save tho sheop; tho army did It—irylng to throw It off on tho shoulders ot5thor people. Human naturo Is tho samein all aces. Adam, confronted with his sin,mid, "Tho woman tempted mo, and I did;at." And the woman charged It upon thelorpont. and If tho seroont could havoipoken It would havo charged It upon thelevll. I suppose that the real stato of the;aae was that Eve was eating tue apple andthat Adam saw It and bogged and coaxedjntll he got a piece of it. I suppose thatMam was just as much to blame as Evo was.STou cannot throw off the responsibility ofiny sin upon the shoulders of other people.

Hero is a young man who says: "I knowt am doing wrong, but I hava nt had anyjhance. I had a father who despised GoiJind a mother who was a disciple of godlessfashion. I am not to blame for my sins; It lamy bringing up. Oh, no; that young manhas boon out in tho world long enough toico what is right and to see what is wrong,ind In tho great day of eternity ho cannotthrow his sins upon his father or mother,but will havo to stand for himself and an-swer boforo God. You havo had a con-science, you havo had n Bible and the Influ-ence of the Holy .Spirit. Stand for yourselfT fall for yourself.

Here Is a business man. He- says, "I.fcnow I don't do exactly right in trade, butall tho dry goods men do It nnd all the hard-ware men do this, rind I am not respon-sible." You cannot throw off yourslnuponthe shoulders of other merchants. Godwill hold you responsible for what you doand them responsible for what they do. Iwant to quote^ano passage of Scripture foryou—I think it iVin~'Prov8rb3^-"If thou bewise, .thou shalt ho wise for thysolf, but Ifthou scornest thou alone shalt boar it."

I loarn further from this subject whatGod meant. by extermination. Saul wastold to slay all tho Amulokltes and theboasts in their possession. He saves Agag,the Amnloklte king, and some of the sheepand oxen, God chastises him for it. Godwill not stay In the soul that is half Hisand half the devil's. There may be moresins In our souls than there wereAmalokltes. Wo must kill them. Woounto us If we spare Agag. Here is a Chris--tian. He says: "I will drive out all thoAmalekites of sin from my heart. Here isjealousy—down goes, that Amaloktte. HeroIs backbiting—down goes that Amalokite."and what slaughter ho makes among hissins, striking right and loft! What is thatout yonder, lifting up his head? It isAgag—It is worldllnoss. It is an old sin hecannot bear to strike down. It is a darlingtransgression he cannot afford to saorillce.Oh, my brethren, I appeal for entire- conse-cration. Somo of the Presbyterians callIt the "higher life." Tho Methodists,I heliovo, call It "perfection." I do u»tcare what you call It, "without holiness noman shall son the Lord." I know men whoaro living with tholr soul In perpetual com-munion with Christ and day by day nrowalking within sight of heaven. How'do Iknow? Thny toll mo so. I bollovo thorn.They would not Ilo about It. Why cannotwo all havo thin consecration? Why slaysomo of tho sins In our HOU! and loavoothers to bloat and hollow for our exposureand condemnation? Christ will not stay Inthe Hinno uouso with Agag. You must giveup Agag or givo up Christ. JDSUH says:"All of that heart or nono." Saul slow thonooroat of tho shoop and the meancHt ofthe oxen and kept somo of tho llnost andthe fattest, and thoro aro Christians whohavo slain tho most unpopular of thoirtrausgrostilonu nnd unveil thoso which aromost respectable. It will not do. Eternalwar agulnst all tho Amalokl tes—no mercyfor Agagl

THE BEST ONE. YET.

Treat Puzzles the Tacony A. A.,and Hammonton Wins.

• •Th6 crack Tacon/ A. A. Cluh, of

Philadelphia, was defeated last Satur-day by the local team, in a game gener-ally conceded to be the best game of theseason. Treat never pitched better,and completely puzzled the visitors, andaided by Boyle's coaching and backedup well by the whole team, he held upwell throughout. Only nine of theTaconys were allowed to camp underTomlin's wing. Just thirty-tour of theVisitors came to bat in the nine innings

—four in each inning except the Dfthand ninth, when but three showed up.There were no three base drives orhome runs. Base hits or brilliant plays,which make the. heart go pit-a-pat andadd zest to the game, were rather fewand far between. Each man played

if he knew the game. Even theerrors seemed less glaring than usual;perhaps because they were mostly inour favor. Some praise should be giventbe visiting pitchers, especially Craven,who allowed but two hits in the last flveinnings. Brown was worked for all hewas worth, and played well

Treat started in by striking out B.Myre in first inning. Then Armstrongbunted, stole second, and came in on awild pitch. Berry and Cook fannedout. Watt follow*, d suit lor our team.Lovcland flew to Dorbet. Setley sentthrough short, got his second on theerror, and scored on Boyle's push thro'Berry. Tomlm popped out to Arm-strong

In the Quakers' next, the chief itemof interest was Boyle's fine catch ofBrown's Joul. Couley sent to right,moved up to MatuU base on dtad ballwith two out, and came in 911 tho rightfieldur's muff of Watt's push ; whileMatins scored on a wild throw to cutoff Wutt.

It was in the fourth, though, that weknocked Armstrong out of the box withfour bunched hits. Bovorage poppedODO over second base, moved up onTreat's drive to lelt, and scored onMathis' ecorchcr to right. Treat camein on Watt's sacrilice, B. Myre toilrowo, while Mathis rodo in on Love-luucl'a drivu to ceulre.

H. Myre was tho only .one to draw abase on balls Irotn Treat, which ho didin next, inning, but died on second.

In tho seventh, Treat was touched upTor two bases by Craven, and for singleby Uerrlo. which tallied Craven. A buaeon balls, a sacrifice, and passed bull,ucored Sotloy.

The Quakorites wcro not permittedto reach llret In olo;hth or ninth.

Four states will elect Governors thisyear,—Massachusetts, Ohio, Iowa, andVirginia. The first three ought to bereliably Republican, and the last is conceded to the Democrats. In Iowa, theSilverifo-s of all parties have united on acombination ticket, and in Ohio a dcsperate attempt will be made to win theState from the Republicans; but thechances are that both states will standby their old colors. In Massachusetts,the Democratic candidate will bo over-shadowed by a tremendous majority.

The study of the Spanish languagemay well be introduced in our publicschools. It is an easy language toacquire, and in the near future, whenthe trade relations of North and SouthAmerica and Cuba are closer together,it will be indispensable to all who maybe engaged in trade and commerce.

Democratic organs insist, first, thatthe revival of prosperity is due to finecrops, not to the Republicans; second,tbat the revival is only temporary ; andthird, that there isn't any revival.

The Pitman Grove camp-meeting willopen on Tuesday, Aug. 3rd, with W.C.T. U. day. The day following will beEpwortb League day, and the Campproper will open Aug. 6th.

A board bill of 81,579.95 was sent bythe State of New Jersey, last Friday,to Uncle Sam. It is for the keep olUnited States prisoners in the peniten-tiary at Trenton.

Uncle Sam has never made a mistakein annexation, and he is not likely togo wrong in tbe next one, after havingthought it over for sixty years.

Europe acts as though it had a copy-right on the annexation idea. TheUnited States insists that it has theright, copy or no copy.

Protection may be defined as a policyon which Republicans are united andall the othor political parties vory muchdivided.
