Whereas, Tlie Board^ of Education, recognizing the; need of greater school accommodation,-; especially a t Prospect •avenue.

SATURDAY, MARCH 21, tB03. THE OCEAN GROVE TIMES 3

A M arvelous G row th of R esorts•You hardly realize'to what propor­

tions the resorts oE tW Untte«V..S?aies have reached In their cbiT.nl?U*RcSs ol! detail. Siich detail and precision qC methods making the life of the fre* quenter little short o f paradise. Of Lakewood the northerner Is, well acquainted by name/ but few. o ther than Its wide clientele know of its wonderful hotel or its life.. Its location is in the wonderful

health giving pino belt, of New Jersey, and a few years back, the mere Sug­gestion that such barren surroundings could be ; made the nucleus of the- grandest winter spa the world knows was laughed at,: but a few long-headed, far-sighted shrewd men. saw the advan­tages and. by persistent advertising, ana untiring devotion to details’and giving tue tourist siich facllties for en­tertainment as was never dreamed of before, Lakewood has become famous.' Before looking at the town ancV what is in .it, let iis glance through its mam­moth hostel ries. To say they are pal­aces Is placing It lightly, for the tone of" the surroundings is artistic and-even aesthetic. The buildings are colossal In size and grand in architecture. Broad entrance ways lead to palatial exchanges dr lobbies. Neatness every where prevails, the ofllce attendants while catering to your every want aro polite but never obnoxious. Large fire, places with crackling wood Area lend to the hominess of the place. Vases of freshly cut flowers, , a profusion of palms, exquisitely decorated Avails and' a wealth of easy, chairs tend to make the first impression that- of satisfac­tion* and delight;’ Proceeding to the upjieivrealms you w ill iind the chamb­ers well lighted, perhaps you will say extravagantly, furnished and well heated,/ for riot only is there steam heat* but each room has its open lire, place nnd an abundance of logs is al­ways on hand. AVhen you visit the dining room your . eyes fairly, jump' from-their sockets, for there are sccjres of snowy White tables laden with freshly cut flowers and shfnliig'. silver and glass. An unusual feature is the employment ot young women as waitresses; whose 'training is as. per­fect as arc all of th6 appointments throughout. the establishment. •’ T.he ciiislne at Lakewood’s hotels is sur­passed by no metropolitan hotel,. hot even by Delmonlco’s. The" young women dining room attendants and. likewise the bell boys and other em­ployees fire unvariably of sturdy New England, stock who are working their: way through school or college. Music Is another feature of special mention In the life of the- hotels of Lakewood, for at. each house there is a compe­tent orchestra which under the dlrec*. tion of a skilled leader glVes brilliant recitals nioi;ning. afternoon and. even­ing. There are sun parlors,, music rooms, elaborate palm rooms!. Dutch eating rooms, . rathskellers; game rooins, and in fact there- is no feature popular \vitlt city hotels and homes, but what Is Included in the Itinerary of • Lakewood’s attractions. Of the town itself , there Is much to say of its. charms.' Its streets are always iii per­fect condition because of tlie peculiar sandy soil. The walks are numerous and lead In directions too many io mention.

Its beautiful lake — C.arasaljo—in spring tlm.e is a delight for the canoeing enthusiast, while.In winter its.surface is the rendezvous for the skating devo*. tees.-; " v ■ ■ . ’

T h o u g h th e charm s of beautiful L-akew.ood are ‘w ithout number,' their beauties have been generously on' hanced through.' the building of that palatial manor Georgian Court by Mr; George J. Gould. Mr. Gould’s estate covers several hundred acres and though the natural characteristics avo retained as far as possible there are Italian . sunken gardens, ; heroic bronzes, elaborate and ornate foun­tains, a casino tho like of which any city would feel proud, while the polo grounds of Georgian Court aro world famed. Through/the generosity of tho owner the public a t large Is permitted to attend the National Pony Polo Tournam ent

Lakewood likewise boasts of two country clubs and on the "rounds of each are golf links second, to none. ahd t h e ; membership of both Is- not only large,, but select. Lfakewooil’s ’en­thusiasts are numbered by th e thousv and,; and among them • is Mr. Jonh D, Rockefeller; who has ".recently - pur­chased a large trac t upon which he in­

•away from them nnd strode Into "the forest to be by himself. That, too, was M alabar’s way.

Not until the maidens were brought forth did Malabar reappear.; “I will .race for my. Squaw at once,” he called In a voice tliiit all Could hear, "liefore the W hite E gre t grows weak through waiting, aiid I shall, give lier. one-half the distance s ta rt because she Is a woman. Ankona .wlll also enter the race with > me, and I will give him one-third the distance because he Is but half a-man. .Let them lie p^ced.”

The spectators s ta re d a n d gasped.. Ankona, his rival, to enter the race and: to be given one-third the distance, and White - Egret, the fleet footed, to be

■given one-half! ' No One could ‘win ii race thus handicapped. And y e t was It not Malabar?

He swept them -with his glance. : : “I shall win,” he said confidently,

.♦‘because I w ill have i t so." • v . . . . V;Ankona hajl been watching him with

baleful, eyes. For an Instant lie drew, back as though to spurn the concession. Then, as he saw White E gret being led. forward to her place, he hurried to his own position. . : :

A n d for a brief space after the signal was given and, they were speeding on with straining muscles be hud a w i l d , Insane belief th a t he would win.

But only for a brief space. Then came th a t steady^ accelerating, im­placable rush behind, drawing nearer and nearer,' then opposite, then :pass­ing. Wheii three-fourths of the dis­tance had been covered,; Malabar was., four'm arch paces ahead. Suddenly lie turned. W liite,Egret w as almost with­in his. reach. * '

"Stop, Ankona!” Malabar called. "Have I not woii?”

Ankona did not answer.“Have I not-wonV sternly."Yes, Malabar, you havo won,” An-

kona answered, and his voice was full of a grout despair. . '

" I t is well. Now you may go on and catch the girl. Malabar will lmve.no squnw who does not come to him willingly.” . . 7 • .. “ •

And he turned proudly from the race and strode back into the forest.

tends building a. palatial home. Dr. Lorenz, the famous Vienna surgeon paid Lakewood a visit, and Is m ost en­thusiastic over its wonderful’ climate. Lakewood is about 59 miles from New York and 70 miles from Philadelphia and Atlantic p ity ,a n d the fast ex­presses of tlie New Jersey Central, which road Is the only line to Lake­wood, covers the distance from elth ir of the cities iri about 90 minutes, hence the busy city ; iii an can make his win­ter home In Lakewood and attend to his business in New. York or PRjfadcl* phia With little o r no inconvenience.

SATURDAY. MARCH 21, 1903.

T he stranger within our gates this weelc is pf the cloth. And yet th e visiting clergymen can not be term ed strangers, for the most of the conference attendants know anti are known to Ocean Grove.

T here is urgent need th a t a further appropriation be made b>* the Leglsla. to re if New Jersey is to he fittingly represented at the St. Louis Exposi­tion. I t is tho general feeling of the business men of the State that if an fedequate showing cannot he made, it ■would he better by far that the whole m a tte r be abandoned! Tiie experience gained a t BtifTalo two years ago should b e sufficient to prevent a repetition of th e blunder made a t the Pan-Ameri­can. The proposed display from this S tate a t St. Louis Is for the purpose of advertising the resources of Now Jer­sey, and we cannot afford to attem pt an advertisem ent of this character un­less It be an attractive and imposing pne, says the Newark Evening News.

Because the taxpayers have voted ■$21,0(50 as the annual educational ap- priation It must not be understood th a t this sum only Is required to run th e schools for the year. Far from it. T ho actual disbursements Jas: year amounted to S43.S10.10. The receipts Iroin all sources, including a balatico on hand of over.S14.000, were ?(5fi,0i;’.{- 45. Of this sum tlie State contribu/ed §20,322.73. and there was $110 received ?rom the Slate Library fund. Last ytjar 11 required $20;iM(i.75 to pay tha sa laries of the township's teachers. T h e taxpayers ought tb .know where th e ir money goes* Some of them do /know!- About. 100, say. That number

. attended the school meeting on. Tues­day evening and were given printed slips containing the school statement. A proposition to have the itemized re­port printed in this paper was voted -tlown on the score of economy. Cheese -paring. Pe6ple will liberally vote away thousands of the public money fo r buildings and land, and raise both hands In economic protest when an Accounting in print is wanted. . •

' ^ We take it that the Methodist minis* te rs a re aide to make up an estimate o f Asbury Park’s morality from the evidence of their own senses and that 'Secretary Hann's endeavor to smirch 'th e character of tills fair city will fall *on barren ground.—Asbury Park Press.

7 W e are sorry the Press takes this extrem ely sensitive view of the work o f :th e Law and OrdeV L easue under Br. Hann. A public-spirited newspa­p er ought to lend its help in righting any wrong that may exist In the com- *mmUy, and by so doing advance the amorals and reputation of tho place V hose fair name it holds so dear. Secretary Hann, as we understand the Splitter, has not attempted to “smirch ‘th e ' character*.' of Asbury Park. No. >sTot any more than lie has that of Long ,'Rrnnch. or rite other towns in. which >iis efforts to suppress wrojlg-dolng Slave been directed. His. work in -other places was . not so characterized. -And tlie Press saw nothing to condemn in Dr. Hann when he was raiding the

i W est Side- resorts, in Neptune town- shin several weeks ago. On the con­tra ry tho Press seemed eager, fpr all

• th e details and ptiWished them with• gusto. Of course, when It .comes . 5to Asbury P ark It is altogether another

m atter, so far as the Press is con­cerned; it makes considerable differ tince whose ox is cored.

If we are not mistaken. Dr. Hann in ..ii? . work of ferreting out evildoers is

no respector of persons nor places. He . won id just as lief run to earth a vio­

la to r of the liquor law In Ocean Grove , a s in Asbury Park, or lu Long Branch,

o r In Gloucester, for tliat matter. And we of the Grove would be pleased to have lilra do It If there-ex­isted one of such here, for we have ho u se for any of that brand on tills side •of the. lake .’

I t’s a little early in the game, "Brother Kirimonth, to jum p on the “’Rev. Mr.* Hann and his assistants of 'th e Law and Order League. • Wait tin- Hll the evidence'is produced and then V e shall see whether or not lie is a t­tem pting to f c m l^ the character of jlsb iiry P a rk .. • ;i;* f

• . . '-V

The Law and Order League has paid Its .respects to Asbtiry- Park. A few • arrests for- alleged .violations of the liquor law have been made, • the out­come of which remains to be se e n .'

Additional honors have fallen upon Township Assessor William R. O’Brien, who was re-elected to that po­sition only last week. Mr. O’Brien has jnst. been chosen Grand Comntaudor of the Grand Council, Legion of the Red Cross, of New Jersey. This is quite- a compliment;, to the Assessor. -We have no doubt lie will measure up to the requirements' of his new posi­tion; and fill It .with g rea t credit.

STRENUOUS LIFE AT MANASQUAN’ in spite of several.weeks of hard work, tlie circulation of two dingy- colored tickets, strenuously exerted in­fluence of. friends, both: male and fe­male; Mayor Woolley will continue, to be mayor- of our borough fpr the’ next tw o .y ears .—News, M anasquan.' •

EDITOR' IIOSKINS LETS HIMSELF DOWN EASY. \

The borough election on Tuesday passed off very quietly and resulted in the re-election of Mayor F. B. Woolley by a majority of 74. This was an In­crease Of 18 over his m ajority oi t\vo years ago, Hoskins’ vote; fell off ten from that of. two years . ago.—Demo-: erat, Manasquan. .

SPRING LAICE CONTENTS ASBURY PARIC’ CLAIM.

Now th a t the boroughs have been consolidated; and' th e . .elections are over, every citizen of Spring Lake wants to bury all differences and go to work to make Pur beautiful resort still more attractive to the summer visitor. Nature lias been m ost lavish in adorn­ing the territory- included in the stretch of country from Como lake to W reck Pond, and now our duty is to improve it in every wav., and. if this is done, beautiful Spring Lake will con­tinue to grow i.n> public favor and its fame, be spread far and near as "tlie paradise of watering places;”—GaV zette, Sprfng Lake.; - . .

• TIT FOR; TAT* • /Flaring, headlines in yesterday’s As­

bury Park Daily Journal tell the story of arrests for illegal sale, of liquor in Asbury Park; Other arrests, for gam- biingi It is said, will be made; .. These violations, have been brought

to light by Dr. H ann and his force of detectives^ who have been engaging in ' tite quiet game, of poker, while their th irs ts have been quenched with apple­jack bought- a t drug stores' as well as h o te ls .: : '. . V '

The reports that have been circulate ed to tho effect th a t “there was j list as m«ch; liquor sold a t Asbury. Park as iii. some other, towns,” seems to liave been borne out by the repent raids. ' ’

WASHINGTON LETTER

: Th<? Repiiiil J ca n in em hers of. th o Sen- ate have completed their program:,for ih e ; special session-, and;; hope to ' ad ­journ not. later, th a n . th e . end of this week. Tlie Panama;: canal; treaty will', he read for am end raent today, tomor­row there; will be two hours of general debate and a vote will be laken. : 11'is unuerstood .that the Democrats: will- VoLe to amend • the agreem ent to pro­vide for absolute ownership by: 'the U. S. of . the zone of • land- through which the: panal will pass with .the: riglit to fortify it, and w ill favor, tlie elimination of: article IV which pro- cides that urideivnp circtiinstances will',' th e United S tates acqu ire: te rrito ry iat the expense of • • Colombia 'o r. any other South. American republic. Both of these amendments have been, given careful consideration by the Repubrir ;'can steering committee^■•’.whichvsubse-, quently determi hed to ratify-.th e =treaty as negotiated., .In some respects the amendments ; were .deemed desirable; but Secretary H ay advised the leaders of - tlie Senate that any , amendment would mean tlie failure of tlie treaty and the indeflnite postponement of-tlie canal aiid the changes were ■ not deemed of •sufficient importance to w arrant that risk.

'*k9i ,•Democratic S eh a tors have Insisted,

on an amendment to the Cuban treaty- providing that it shall not go into; opera­tion until “approved by the Congress’*- and the. Republicans have agreed to accept such' an, amendment, such hiivr ing already , been favorably reported by the ' committee on Foreign. . Rela­tions. The Vote on-the Cuban treaty, the ratification of which Is regarded as assured , will be taken a s soon after the approval Pf the Panam a treaty as possible a n d will be followed by im­mediate adjournment. A hearing has been .had oh the Hay-Bond Newfpuhd-. land treaty but- there is no ihtention of reporting it o u t of committee and the best authorities In • the Senate’say it will never be ratified. ‘

•; •President Roosevelt Is much cha­

grined ’a t the; amendment to oe a t­tached to the Cuban, treaty -ana is seriously considering.calling the,Fifty- eighth Congress in . special session next November, as. soon, as practicable after the fall elections. He character­izes ; the am endm ent accepted \by the Republicans as “a concession; to the enemies ,of Guban . reciprocity-' and holds th a t under th e circum stances he would be fully justified in calling a special session immediately/ -.'The leaders of the party, however, wonid oppose - a- special session a t any tinie before the fall elections; but there are many good reasons why. a special ses­sion ' should be called a t tliat* time..i «ext year will be. a presidentlal. year and an early adjohrnm entof Congress; in order th a t -the. campaign m ay' not be interfered AVith, will , be • desired. The Democrats propose to engage in a-long tariff discussion and w6re Coh gress to 'm eet a;few weeks before th e . first Monday, in December they might' be accommodated - without 'interfering w ith ; the public, business. The Presl- •dent believes th a t the Cuban trea ty should be put.in operation'before this- year’s sugar crop is marketed, but this argum ent Is. met by leading Senators with tlie- as s er 11 on th a t the sugar buy^ ers will an tic ipate the’reduction in the tariff, and tiie only effect of delay in modifying the tariff- schedules win he to keep Cuoah sugar a little longer in bonded warehouses. Mr. Roosevelt s argum ent th a t no time should be lost before securing control of th e ..Cuban trade, however, seems unanswerable.

There is every prospect of Important flnanciar legislatipa a t the next ses­sion of Congress. The Senate lias ad pp ted a resplutidn: reppr.te d by Sena­to r Aldrich, authorizing the commit­tee on Finance to: sit during the recess, and : investigate, “customs, internal, revenue, coinage, ■eteV’ •■;I t ia . known that there will be np attem pt to mod If y or change the-tariff schedules and. in view of the ' failure of the Aldrich financial bill iii the Senate and of the l*pwler curr'en cy bill in the Hous'd, i t - is believed that an 'effort wil 1 be made Uy ‘ th e : Fi nance Comm I ttee to frame • a: general financial bill whIch will reme­dy some;of ;the defects in the)present system. I t; is-generally believed .that th e Fowler bill, which provides fo r ’a fiat currency; cotild never .pass the Senate, th a t body •having on several: occasions put. itself on. record a s op-: posed to fiat currency. It is also , re­called th a t the last successful financial measure was framed .during a recess, o f Congress, a jo in t committee of both Houses meeting for the purpose a t At­lantic City. . •

qtilet but thorough reorganization of the younser heads * of bureaus.'

HIS TROUBLES VANISHING

Gen. Skirm Receives Money Due. Him From Trenton Church

. The First- M.-E. Church of . Trenton has a t last effected a settlem ent .with Gen. W iliam H. Skirm,/member o f the Ocean Grove .Association and a sum­mer resident , of this place. ;Mr. Sklrm has received'in-actual cash o r the ne­gotiable equivalent, the sum of $11,- 297.38.

This su m , . represents., . numerous sums advanced In the -interests of the congregation by th e . form er Senator and- who figured tha t-the church was indebted, to him for .something like, ?lti,000. The . precise am ount of these advances was estimated differently by nearly all the parties concerned. The to tal/w as variously fixed a t any­where. from $14,000 to. $18,000.

The minute book containing many im­portant records of 'the church’s finan­cial transactions was misplaced; how­ever, and though Mr. Skirm ’s friends are of th e opinion, th a t he.has not been sufficiently compensated, the general and the; congregation each seem satis­fied wi th th e arrangem ent.

W ithin.the next few days this latest addition to the ex-senator’s assets will be. apportioned among his creditors/ And, with the distribution of the money th e trusteeship, of Howell C. Stull, acting for botli Mr, Sklrm and ta e creditors, will have /com e to a close. The debtor wiU then have paid 85 per cent, of all his indebtedness, ih- Cluded In the articles of agreement. The creditors expected two years ago to get only about 40 to 50 cents on the dollar but by the adjustm ent of .Mr. Skirm’s finances and a careful manipu­lation of his assets they have had an agreeable surprise,

A few weeks a go we bought a small lot of apple-butter just for . a trial: It vvas so good that it sold like the proverbial hot cakes. Have a much lar­ger lot.in now—same kind— , and it is. delicious.' A three- pound can for a dime. You. can use the can when empty for other purposes.

We struck a job lot of china cups and saucers last week. Will give them away this week with a pound of 35 cent tea—; oue cup and saucer with each pound.

There are not many. So get yours early.

A bright man knows that poorly print-, ed stationery, circulars or cat­alogues will do more harm than good. As no one wishes to deal with a slovenly shop- keeper, so there is no induce- meut to purchase goods of a man who tries to sell them through the medium of cheap printing of tbe back-number kind.

“I don’t know what It is,” said Lot despairingly.

"Imagination," returned his sister shortly.

2,ot .turned on her. “Look here, Ma­rla Bemis,” lie said almost fiercely* "You pride yourself on your faculty for seeing things. You’ve .been here

'th re e days, nnd haven’t you seen, tha t, there was something come be­tween us since you were here before and th a t she has stopped caring any-, thing about mo?” His voice broke ot the last words, aiid he turned away from her.

Marla looked a t his back, and there was an expression ou her face of min­gled pity, contempt and amusement.

“I've been here three days, Lot.” she said quietly, “and I’ve seen that you are a pair of foolish children. But be­fore I go on I want to ask you if you have got over caring for her.” .

\Lot looked a t her with indignation too strong for words.

“I didn’t think you had,” said his sister in a tone of relief. “If you lmd. It would be a serious state of affairs; but. as you haven’t, I don't see any difficulties.**

“You m ust .admit th a t she isn’t hap- py.’Vhe siiid a t length.

“Yes.”"But. don’t you see, it must be me,

■ because she doesn't see anybody else, hardly."

She settled herself more comfortably■ on the grain chest and began to speak

deliberately. “Don’t you know that when two people. I don’t care who they are, live on n lonely farm and don’t see anybody but each other for weeks a t a .time—don't you know that they are bound to get morbid and imagine all sorts of things about themselves and each other? That is why so many farm ers' wives go insane.”

“Blit w hat can I do?” Lot asked, a look of terror in his face. “I’ve tried to get Tier to go to places with me, but I can’t.”

“ I’ll tell you.” said Maria decisively. “ The lirst nice day take her out over

. the farm and spend the day. I'll see to things while you are gone, and I'll p u t up a lunch for you; Show her all you are doing and plan to do. Take her to th e pretty places and, most of all, make love to her as though your life depended on it.”

“I don’t believe she'd go. I couldn’t persuade her. You've no idea how set

Maria looked a t -her brother scorn­fully. “perhaps you never, heard of pucb h thing as strategy.”

She turned away and walked out of the barn.

For a long time he stood looking at Ills G randfather Stetson’s old covered wagon. I t had been considered an ele­gant affair in its day, but now It was seldom taken out except when some of the children came home at Thanksgiv­ing or for short'visits.

He took out his Jackknifc and opened It, felt of the edge, then got into the wagon and knelt down on tho seat. Very carefully, and following the thread in the cloth, lie cut a slit two inches long in the back of the seat. He .picked a t the cotton batting shilling with the point of his knife. Then be le t the flap go back in place, the eo6«" ton batting showing a little all along tbe cut. “That looks very natural;” he muttered.

The uext morning Lot spoke to his B is t e r wlieu Eunice was in another room, “.lust as soon as the dew gets off some,” he said, and she nodded a fte r breakfast she carried to the barn a large covered basket, a demijohn of w ith a look of comprehension. Soon

. cold tea, a shawl and her sister-in-law's sunbonuct. These Lot helped her stow Rway under the back seat.

At 9 o’clock Lot came iuto the bouse. “I ’m going to sta rt off with the old cov­ered wagon In a little while,” he said, “and I find there’s a tear or a cut in the back of the scat. Do you suppose you could mend It?”

Eunice went to get her workbasket. Bhe found a piece of green cloth and pulled some ravelings from It; then she went out and got Into the covered wagon and set quietly and patiently to work, V

Lot watched her furtively from tho barn. When he thought she was nearly half through he began harnessiug with feverish haste, Wliat If she should get through too soon? She looked around as he backed the horse into the shafts.

“I ’m not quite through yet, Lot,” she paid mildly.

“Don’t , hurry,” he answered^ lie waited with the reins In his hand until ehe had taken the last stlteli; then he

•jumped in, sat down beside her and spoke to the horse. Eunice half started

.. to her feet* but he laid ills hand gently on her arm, and she sank back again.

“We arc going to ride over the farm,” he said quietly.

H e drove, on,, talking rapidly about liis .plans, recalling. Incidents of tbe haymaking, and speaking of the get­ting In of the ensilage,

Eunice was silent, and in spitQ of his lively chatter Lot was anxious.• In the middle of the pasture Lot

gtopped the horse and glanced about. Some of the cows were feeding near, hrid they lifted tiieir heads to look w ith big, luqulrl'ng eyes,

“Pretty good looking cattle, I call them,” lie said proudly. He paused. H is facb was quiet, white and agl-

, tated, and he did not dare look a t his 'wife.:;.- , *• . ;.

“I alw ays thought an aw fu l lot of Buttercup.” said Eunice ln^ner sweet.

‘ all the ertre of her myself.” '!“ Yes,” lie fa Id, “I remember. • and it

was a good thing; th a t you did take charge of heiy She's inade a fine, cow/' Ills voice grew curlously husky,, and

.he spoke almost* sharply to tlie horse, “Get, up, Nell.” v '■

As ' they w ent slowly, through tlie pasture the cows one by one dropped tlielr nriscs vto their feeding again. Eunice gazed about her eagerly, a new lig h t,in .h e r face. “O h” she sighed coritentediy- “It i£ a lovely day.” : 1

The cart path was very rough, and the wagon bounced and pitched along, th e overhanging bushes. and young trees brushing against its top . and sides. Eunice laughed like a child and now and then gave an involuntary lit­tle scream. , •

Lot laughed too. “I guess I’ll havo to put my arm around you,”- ho, said. And ‘ he dreiv her close, ‘driving w ltli, lils free hand. . j

“Isn’t this fun?” she laughed. “And it won’t hurt the wagon, either. How did you happen to think of such a nice idea?”

“ Why didn't I think of it years ago?” ho returned evasively, “t ought to have, With the poor little wife kept at home with a weak ank le /’. “ I have wanted to see the farm awful­

ly,” she said, nestling* up to him as his arm w ent around her iigaln, “but I didn’t see how I could, and I never ex* pected to.” • * 4- •' , •• •

Suddenly she impulsively threw her arm s about his neck and buried her face on his shoulder With a little sob,

“ I t’s awful silly,” she murmured, “for folks as old as We are to act .so spoony,but I—thought—I’d got a notion tiiat you’d got all over caring anything about me, and Pin s.o . glad to rfind it- .Isn’t so,” ; •• V • • ' •• •■" "•

As for Lot, ht* held his wife close, and In his heart w as 'a great joy.

“One of the m ost remarkable cases in my experience,” said a country doc­tor, • “was an old woman 1ft a fisher­man’s hut on the Carolina shore. It was a long, dreary drive of ten miles, and when I reached the place I found th a t the only occupant besides the si el; woman wns a- skit of, a girl, who was utterly worn out by weeks o r care, and nursing. I examined the patient and found every sign of early dissolution. H er pulse .was growing feebler, and It was only a. question of a few hours. In my mind, before’ the end would come. The. idea of the girl being left alone in that hut touched me., and I. decided tc- remain with her, even though the. un­expected happened aiid the old lady lived through the n ig h t The men of the hut were fishermen, and they would probably be back the next day. So I sa t with the girl in the corner of the room and told her. w hat I intended to do. ' 'J - .

“ W o n 't she get well?' asked the girl a fter I had explained as mercifully as i e d u h V S .:" ‘ ■ '■■t. .‘‘ ’Xo/ I replied, ‘she will not get well. She will die .ton 1 ght.* •

“Ju st then there was-a feeble move­ment on the bed, and., a thin, angry voice drawled out: *It ain 't so. I .won’t die. I expect to* eat 'th e goose that eats the grass, off of your grave.’

“ ‘B ut suppose,* I stamtnered, witb. ju st a little nwe and wonderment in. my voice (only the temerity of youth could have, induced me to say such a thing), ‘suppose you died before all your work was’ written ?' ”

. T o o P le b e ia n n. D ish .The pains of being a dignitary in an

ancient country with a tradition of splendor is illustrated by this anecdote from India.' I t is related that the vice­roy’s eye lighted one day upon a dish a t which ho gazed for a moment with incredulity. ‘‘W hat Is this?’’ he de­manded at Inst.' A trembling retainer

^gasped th a t it was rice pudding. No legs a personage than the vicei'oy’s con­sort had ordered the humble pudding wiiich eminent statesmen may be seen eating tit their clubs w.*th undisguised enjoyment any day of the parliamen­tary session. But the viceroy frowned, “Take it a Way,” he said. “Never, let me see such a thing again.” This- is how the orient differs from tho: Occi­dent.. itlce pudding might have ruined tlio dignity of the vice regal table in native opinion. . ~ "

Natiire demands this; and violence is done to her when sleepy people are rudely aroused . from •their beds. Early.:to bed is the single; safe prescription to insure, early to rise.

We need to repent i t over nnd over to our hurrying, anxious, tolling Amor-' lean men and women:. Rest, rest arid again rest. Do not think time ill spent! tha t is spent in repairing the ravages of our well nigh incessant activity.

T h e F i r s t P a n to m im e ,.Most pnntomhue • characters were

originally borrowed from tlie Italians. The first real English pantomime was: produced a t a theater in Lincoln’s Inn Fields In 1720. I t w as called “Harle­quin Executed,” and its subtltie Was VA New Italian Cotnlc Scene Between a Senramouciie, iu Harloquln; n Coun­try Fnrmer, His Wife nnd Others.” The performance: waB very successful. About tlie middle of the eighteenth cen^ tury the character of pantomime per­formances was .completely altered, chiefly because of the'genius of the fa­mous Grimaldi, who made the clown the first figure of the pantomime. Gri-' mnldl first appeared a t Sadler’s Wells theater, where he played the part o f a monkey.. H e w as actively engaged on the stag e . for forty-nine years, and a t tlie close of his stage career he took a benefit, a t Drury Lane theater, which .realized nearly £000. He also received £100 from the Drury Lane fund. This was In June, 1828. He died In 1837 and was burjed In the churchyard in St. Jam es’ clmpei, Pentonville hill.—Lon­don Standard. *

ClilncN e T r a n s p o r t a t io n M eth od s, .The cheapest method of transporta­

tion in the world is that by Chinese junks th a t aro drugged up and down their winding rivers by strings of sweating men, who are paid only tf cents a. day for their work and have to pay tiieir board out of that small sum. Next In cheapness to transportation by junk is transportation by camel- team.. This method is used In distributing coal. Great numbers of Mongolian camels, led by a string through flieir pierced noses and tied one to the other, each carrying two baks of coal strung across their backs between the humps, are to be seen winding their way from tho coal mines to tho larger cities in northern China and covering with their swinging steps about twenty miles a day.

. jV n lm ala an ti P o iso n s .Certain substances which are deadly

In their t.ffects upon men can be taken by the brute creation with impunity. Horses can t a k e . large doses of anti­mony, dogs of ihercury, goats of tobac­co, mice of hemlock and rabbits of belladonna without injury. On: the other hand, dogs and Cats, are much more susceptible to tlio influence o f chloroform than man and are much sooner killed by it. If this invaluable anaesthetic had been first tried upon animals, we should probably have nev­er en joyed its .blessings,- as- it would have been found to be so fatal tlia t its discoverer would liave been afraid to test Its effects upon human beings. I t is ovident, theiij that an experiment upon an : animal can liex'er be the means of aiiy certain deductions so far as man is concerned.—Family Doctor.

SkyroekctM B e fo r e G u n p o w d e r ,I t m atters very little in the long run

! to the small boy when, how or where fireworks were first made and of what they are made now; But the fact re­mains tliat the despised heathen Chi­nese first made them and used them and th a t civilized communities did hot know of them until the fourteenth cen­tury. Tlie skyrocket was flrst invented toward the close of the ninth century and a t th a t time was used, so it is said, In India and China in war. T bat was long before the invention of gunpow­der. • • - •. • • ■

8 THE OCEAN GROVE TIMES SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1903.

| BY WAY OF i DIVERSION

a a ■ud

Captain Lewis Rainear. of Occan Grove. Buccoeds the redoubtable George Potts as 'owner and operator o f t l i e Manasquan, Barnegat and Al­lenwood Railroad, together with the right, title and Interest in ail ot its numerous branches, its niagnlflcent Stations anu its splendid equipment. Nor is this all. Tho Captain also sue- ceeds to overy oince within the g tit of t h e road. He is now its president, treasurer, general manager, section boss, m asier of transportation, division superintendent, head dispatcher, chief engineer, genera! passenger and ticket agent, Grand Sir Knight of-the Hand Car, chief of maintenance of way, auditor. Inspector of roiling etoclt, paymaster and junk sllngcr.

Tills announcement will strike the financial world all o f . a heap. Wail s tree t will tremble, even If it does not tumble. The bears will retire to their pits, and the bulls will seek other and greener things to devour. There prom­ises to bo a lively time in tiie stock m arket, a t least until the exact status of the new road Is familiar to the big operators. J. l’ierpont ilorgan has sent for Cali— but, there, th a t would be giving away a great secret,:

This is the road that, while not as long ns the New York Central, is near­ly as wide, as Potts Is reported to have told 'Ills bosom friend Chauncey Depew tin a memorable occasion .when tlie Peach asked the Plum what St was tlie Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina.

After consulting wltli himself In his multifarious positions, and being ad­vised by himself in turn as the head of each department, the Captain wisely determined to 'change the name of the road, as was urged by himself collec­tively. By arrangem ent : with tlie Grand Trunk pool, thla line will here­after be officially designated In the Railway Guido as “The Allemrooc! and High Peak Railroad." Cards of trans­portation (annuals) have been pre­pared and m e now being issued by tiie president; who liaB Instructed the sec­retary to notify the general passenger agent to have the traffic manager pro­vide the division superintendent with passes for all of his friends. Naturally there Is a big demand for the passes. The supply equals the deriund. They read thus:

“AHemvood and High Peak Railroad. Good until December 31, 1003. Pass John Doe no endorsed hereon, unless otherwise ordered. Lewis Itutnear, President."

A few words descriptive of this road, now that our follow-towiisman lias taken Its possession, uiny be ap­propriate.

This Is undoubtedly tlie great scenic route of America—on a clear day. From tiie observation cavs—the only kind

. ’;^ed-—one gets a view of all that Is to be seen—earth, sky ahd water. It stands alone, th is road does, ns a

■"-rrrtmnirijia to great feats of cnalireei’- : inc. from th^Jlact^Uiat It has nil tun-

nuels, no bridges, ancTip curve?! It Is double-tracked its entire- ienwfh—thnt is to say, tliore are two rails, side by side, each rail being so widejy separ­ated from its fellow, that they nre not on speaking terms. After repeated experiments it was found best to have two rails, as a single track, or one rail, would not fit the rolling stock, nnd ahy attem pt to propel a two-wlieeled car over a single-rali road woufd bo discouraging If .not provocative- of much cussing, it is the proud boast of th is line that Its time-tables are made solely to suit the public; if the schedule a§ arranged by the general manager does not suit your conveni­ence It will be changed’lmm.cdliuely by applying to the division superintend­ent. And complaints of any 'o ther na­ture lodged wltli the irafilc manager aro immediately referred to the super­intendent of motive .power. Thus the beauty of combining all the olllces in one Individual must be apparent to even the most case-hardened patron of the road, 't here is no red tape.

A peculiar feature of the schedule gives freight trnlns the right ot way. T hat's because .the road is Inclined to do so, and the gravity of tlio situation appeals to all alike. Three classes of passengers are carried. First-class passengers aro furnished linen dusters and palm-leaf fans, and aro permitted to rem ain‘seated on tbe up-grade; the second-class passengers get but and walk up hill, -while the third-class pas­sengers bustle out and push.

The general m anager points with pride to the fact th a t not a single pas­senger over got a cinder In his eye from a locomotive on this road; it !b absolutely cinderless. Gravel Is used exclusively for fuel. This In because thero Is gravel to burn a t Allenwood, tho term lnuB of tho line. No passen­ger has ever sued the road for. dam­ages. Collisions aro unknown and wrecks 1 so rare th a t they are never even half done. (That sounds like nn order for beefsteak In a cheap rcstau- rant, but ft is good railroad talk.) -Vor is any charge ever made for excess baggage. Carry as much or as little a s you please, provided you carry it yourself. On most of the other big roads elephants are permitted to carry their ow ntrunks; itisacontm on custom, and. has been for time out of mind. As the Allenwood nnd High Peak has abso­lutely refused to join the Grand Trunk pool, this is not a trank line' and there­fore elephants will not be transported over the road.under any consideration. Potts always drew the line sharply on elephants. He never could be in­duced to carry one. Tlie public may n o t credit tills assertion, but It is u positive fact that not a single ele­p han t has over been carrle I on this line. So, in addition to being cinderless, i t Is also elephantless. Therefore: in deference to th e former owner nnd nmr.nger of the road Capt: Rainear will n o t carry any elephants. This was the chief condition of salo. Tha Captain has no particular objection to camel3, because In a pinch a camel can always get a hump or two on himself.

Tho president, assisted by the gen­eral: superintendent, the traffic mana­ger and the o ther office incumbrances, is now arranging the. first of a series of ■persohdlly-cbnducteiV tours" (oMhna- squaw,' the Garden of the Gods. The

fare for tho. round trip, covering every necessary item of expense, transfer of .passengers and baggage, hotel iu--. commodatlon, etc.", will either lie a basTiet;of soft clams or seven election perfectos. The date of. this tour Is Un­certain ; it all depends upon the weather. Due- notice of the time will, be given; in tn is paper. Negotiations are pending fo r 'th e engagement of a tourist agent and chaperone.

A! the Park Opera House"A Texas Steer,” Hoyt’s greatest

Buccess : will be . presented a t the As­bury Park opera house on Thursday, March 2Gth. The story.opens in Texas with the election of Maverick Brauder, the Cattle King, to Congress. T he: election takes place during his absence froiri liome and is brought about by. the 'ambition,, of his' family for ‘social distinction and a desire to get out of tho dreariness life on a cattle ranch to the fashionable circle a t the Nation­al Capital. The first intim ation that Brander has of his election is when he is yanked olf his wagon on his way home, crowned with laurel as was Cin- cinatuS... Thiere Is .some difficulty In getting him to serve, liut this is over­come when th e gang point tlieir gun3 a t his head arid declare if ho is too good. to consent to represent them in Congress, ho 'i s perhaps too ’ good to live.- . . . •; 7 . .‘/"-/V- - ■ ■

Between the first and second acts sufficient, tim e is supposed to have elapsed for the Brander family to 'g e t acquainted with Washington, and so­cial friction has smoothed the-general appearance, manners and habits of the family. The Cattle King wears his dress su it with the ease of a man about town, a. rose in his coat, snioiies perfectbs and ’ hankers after frozen: ab-, sin th e . ': His daughter no longer fa lls ' over .her, tralrii biit iwerirs: th e most becoming Greek gowns: and, looks and nets as though , soclety had. always, been her’, home.
