The Civic League has had the busiest, best and most satisfactory year in its history, The Rest Room has beert estabiised, furnished and partly supported, the Parks have been well cared for and beautified, the S. A L. station has been im proved and flower beds planted there, 250 trees have been planted, also many hedges Clean up con tests arranged and prizes given, benches and trash baskets put in every square, May Day Festival re-established, last but not leas1 must successlul entertainment given by which th?y have enough money to pay for" most of these things with out begging the city council for a cent, and enthusiaMn has grown sufficiently to make the League de sire to oecome a member of the State Confederation of Women Clubs. Certain it is that we need a So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal.-! B rds are wantonly shot and nes s robbtd. Only yes terday we saw a mule being driven Dy.a negro and the poor thing looked* as il it were ready for ihe boneyard, one toot was bauly wounded and the negro lookej more able to carry the mule than vice vtrsa* Cats by the hundreds are left homeless, especial ly bv our tourists *\ho enpy and uve them for three months out ot me year, tnen turn them loose to prey on birds and chickens or die. It 16 a shame that there is no law to remedy this evil. According to statistics there are one mil ion home less cats in Chicago, one fourth ot the number of inhabitants, and at this season of the year the cry goes ur all over the country, "Civil Authorites protect us from the va \iTA-n dogs and cats!" During the hot summer, animals need care and water more than ev er, and some one said yesterday that the Richard Kirkland Fountain is the greatest ^ift ever received in Camden, and that never endi ig thanks were due Prof. R. M. Ken nedy for procuring it for the County, and that his name should be inscrib ed upon it. Several mules have died lately and the cause of one's death at least vVas spoiled corn bought by the carload. We should have an inspector and prevent suct^ grdtn from coming fero the town. Friend's, let us help our dumb creat ures and they will helj us! This is the age of Woman and all far-seeing persons, evm statesmen, realize it. The President has ap pointed Mrs. Harriman, who helped him in his campaign, one of the members of the Industrial Com mi tee. Magazines publish daily the work of women, one article in re cent McClure giving tne life of Mrs. Andrew, of Trenton, New Jersey, who took charge of her husband's f -undry, made it pa>, and by per sonal relations with the employees has never had a -trike. Secretary McAJoo when President the New York subway, had most of h's tirket sellers women because of "t'leir neatness, nimble fing- rs and indus try" and even refused to cut their pay belo.v that of men. Our up to date statesman, Mr. Jno. McMaiian, says that woman h <s alt-gal ri^ht to suff.a4e and will get it when she Mjghes it in South Carolina An article recently published in Lon don states that in a responsiole position women according statistics are more honest thin men. 1 wonder how many of the citi zens of Camden or of the City Fa tners or even of the members of thp Civic League ki.ow that the town ha- a right to a beautifully situ-ited Park, that it has never used In any way? It was donated by the same generous citizen, who in the long tgo, bequeated the other parks to I -he town, and is situated at the rear I of the Bull property at the foot of ! Jumille Hill and is known as Kirk* wood Common. It seems strange that no use has ever been made of it as from its situation, it could be made a most picturesque pleasure ground for the people of Kirkwood and Camden. Whose is the duty of taking up this matter, the Town or the Civic League? The women of Camden don't have to be suffragettes because they generally get what they want with out suffering for it. tsrv! .. . i. I"'" ?'???? '??

To assiduous cure and good ta^te, with utT ?ble manners and earnest efTort to t> ease. these ladies owe It that the business begun ip a modest way, has succeeded so satisfactorily as to en murage them to renewed effort. THE CAMDEN LIBRARY. Among the most important institut ions of this town Is The Camdeu Lib rary. It, was organized about thlrteeu ye > sago, and has succeeded beyond the dreams of many. About three yeare ago they lost by lire all tbe library's furniture, and 3,500 volumes They now have 1,500 volumes, a beauti fully furnished room and fifteen of the leading magazines on the table The dues are $1.00 year per cash In advance, these furnishing ti e very best litera ture within the reach of all To enable them to do this theolty gives one hun dred dollars toward the maintenance, and the Bank of Camaen gives the Library a jome free of charge. If you havt; never visited the Llbrai y we In vite you to do so. It is the duty of every loyal citizen to help this worthy Insti tution, for it is only by united effort that success is possible, and we expeet ev ery family in Camden to havo at least one representative on the Library membership list.

The public doesn't demand anything unreasonable, but surety ha* a right to seats that are not racks of torture, for the 75o they pay for admission, and for something to rest their backs against Instead of th knees of whoever happens to be sit ting behind them It is of course, desirable to have a goodly attendance of the tourlsis on ihcsM occasions, and no doubt they would attend In far greater numbers, if soiiih regard was had for their com fort, but will) the present crude, un comfortable accommodations, troy wil> haidW come out a second time, when they find out how it is. Those shows are generally places where the ladles appear in their new spring toilets, hut there is little chance that the Camden event will ever prove a fashionable one, as long as no bet ter place is provided ior them than the rough place, dignified by the name of the 'grand stand." If th^re is a surplus from last year's show it couldn't be devoted to a better use than In improving tills rough, un sigii I y , thoroughly nncom ort able stand, with the "Grand" high sounding name One of the Sufferers.
