The Bonifaces on ten and mountain top are
Vreathed In smiles. The season ot '90 has
opened -with a rush, and the hotels which
usually keep their doors closed until July have
hurried up the burnishers, and nearly all the
hostelries and boarding bouses on hill, stream,
lake and beach are ready for the reception of
summer breeze seekers. At all pointB ad
ditional pleasures and attractions are being
planned, and the fortunate ones who can leave
the snn-Daked cities will undoubtedly find
enouch to amnse themselres, no matter where
they co. Much interestlne gossip and Informa
tion from several popular resorts Is herewith
presented to readers of Tub Dispatch.

City is the only place
on the ooast that can
boast of a rapid col
lection and delivery
system In the ding
line. Yet such a sys
tem is in successful
operation here and
Is a great blessing in
cases where medi
cines are desired in
luabighnrrj. When
the doctor calls and
ascertains what his
patient requires, the nurse simply has to go to
the telephone, ring a druggist, and m a trioe his
messenger rides up to.your door, gets the pre
scription, and returns with it as soon as It is
Compounded. When the tact is taken into
consideration that every corner is not orna
mented with the green and red lights, althongh
there is quite a number of good pharmacies
here, the benefit of this system Is apparent, and
one that could be copied with great advantage
in many places.
With the exception of surf bathing there is
So amusement here as popular as the merry-go-round.
It is patronized by all young, old and
middle-aged, regardless of sex, creed or color.
The mock steeds instead of losing favor, as
has been said by some writers who never come
down here, have gained in pnbllc demand to
such a degree that several new ones have gone
tip since last season: and as it costs $10,000 to
erect one. it is easy to conclude that they are
safe investments. There is certainly no place
where the dear girls can display a good form,
pretty' gown or neatly-turned ankle to better
advantage than on the merry-go-round.
QUAY MAD -WHEK THEY WON'T BITE.
ItatthewQuay and his son Dick are expected
nere early next week. The Senator doesn't
remain on the island long when he does get
here, usually going off to Brigantlne with bis
faithful skipper Ben Sooy. If there is any one
thing that nettles the "lone fisherman" It is to
have the animals of the deep fight shy of his
hook. When last here Quay went after
druin," and after three days' work, with an
average of one fish per day, the Senator went
off disgusted. It simply demonstrates the fact
that there are some things "In the swim" the
blcnolltical boss cannot catch.
' e United States Hotel opened on Saturday
last That for seven years past has signalized
the season's beginning. This year the manage
ment of the handsome new house altered its
usual programme by having musical and liter
ary exercises instead of dancing. There was of
course a splendid supper. In former years
dancing was deemed essential to a first night
st the States. Many distinguished guests were
present, not a few of tbem coming from Pitts
ourg for the occasion. It is just seven years
since Benjamin Brown fald he would make the
States the greatest house on the island. He
certainly must have felt a proud satisfaction
when he looked around the new States on the
opening night.

f and the same old roar is there-
The hackmen steal and rob
you blind, that Is if the bazaar
people and sideshows leave
enough for the Jehus. One thing which Inaug
urates the season here as much as anything
else is the annual fight between the regular
hackmen mob and the Miller &. Brundaee
coach and bagrage system. This latter
secured the privilege of soliciting on the
Central and Erie railroad trains,' and
guarantee their patrons from exorbitant
charges. That is what makes the independent
hackman mad, and tbey charge the Miller &
Brundage men with ail sorts of wrong doing.
Bven the pnbllo are a little shy of the coach

when in reality it is the only protection they

been pretty qmet since the Duke and Duchess
of Connaught's visit. W. L. Ormrod is chief
clerk and W. A. Becker and "Baron" Von
Rosenberg, assistants. There are a few changes
on the American side. The Whltneys have re
tired from the Cataract, and the house this
year is rnn by John E. Deverenx, wno repre
sents his family's interest in the property since
the Whitneys sold. The honse opened on May
17. and has been doing a rushing business. E.
M. Matthews, who was six years with the
Windsor, at Montreal, is behind the desk, with
C. D. Young and John J. Tierney as assistants.
The chef is Pierre DIdlen. formerly of the
Cambridge, New York, while John Stein has
the pastry.
The handsome little Prospect House, tbe
creme de la creme of If lagara's family hotels.
is up to the high standard under the personal
supervision of its proprietor, David Isaacs. J.
W. Trott is at the desk, a position he has occu
pied for years, and shook the hand of royalty
until weary ot its glory. He Is assisted by O.
W. Jordon. tbe handsomest clerk at the Falls.
Mr. Isaacs this year has the handsomest turn
out at the Kails. His team are imported
-fencers and riders, with an English T cart It
was a gift to Mrs. Isaacs on ber birthday, and
the other .ladies at the Falls are green with
envy.
A. H. Glnck is still at tbe head of the Inter

been for the past three. He comes from the
St. Nicholas, New York. Solon- Whitney, the
veteran clerk at the Falls, Is at the Interna

were 250 of the National Eclectic Medical As
sociation doctors there this week. All the
heavy drug firms were represented, and the
falls was said to be very healthy. At any rate
the piazzas of the International represented a
dozen or more drugstores, where anything from
baby food to a monitor blue pill could be ob

FLEEING FE0M THE SUIT.
Where the Families of Our Statesmen Will
Spend tbe Healed Term.
tBTECIAlTXLXGSUJI TO THX CISFATCR.1
Washetgtos, Juno 21.
HE Capital City is as
hotasTophet. Half
of the members of
Congress are in flan,
nel shirts, and such
of the ladies as still
remain at their
homes here wear the
lightest of summer
dresses. The major
ity of our leading
women have left for
their country homes
or watering places,
and within two
weeks there will
hardly be a baker's
dozen left to haunt the galleries of Congress or
to hold red hot receptions In their Washington
houses. Quite a number of the society leaders
are now in Europe. Mrs. Justice Field sailed
June 10 with Miss Alice Condit Bmith, who is to
be married abroad, and she will spend the sum
mer in England and on tbe continent. It is
some years since she has crossed the ocean, and
her usual vacations are speDt In connection
with Judge Field in traveling through the
West whero the Judge's circuit lies. Mrs.
J ustice Miller is now at ber beautlf nl home on
Block Island, and Justice Blatchford and wife
have left for their cottage at Newport.
One of the finest of Newport's cottages be
longs to Historian Bancroft and tbe old man
will spend tbe summer there. He has not been
.well during the latter part of tbe season and
has practically given up his literary work.
Some of his best work has been done in New
port, and the Redwood library is one of the
best historical libraries of tbe country. He has
a fine rose carden at Newport and his cottage
there overlooks the sea. He takes his family
with him and his big German servant, Her
mann, will always be by his side.
THE HABBISONS AND WANAMAKEBS.
Mrs. Wanamaker and the girls are at linden
hurst, tbe Wanamaker country home near
Philadelphia. They will remain there until
July L when they will go to the Wanamaker
cottage at Cape May and remain there until
the beginning of August. Postmaster General
Wanamaker's custom has been to spend August
at Saratoga, and it is probable that the family
will remain there until they are ready to come
back to Washington in tbe fall. Mrs. Harrison
thoroughly enjoys her life at Cape May and
the most of the summer will be spent in the
cottage there, thongh the President may take
one or two runs up to Deer Park. A private
letter from Cape May says that Baby McKee is
growing fat under tho revivifying air from the
sea and the coast seems to suit the young man
quite as well as that of the Allegheny Moun
tains. .
Madame Romero and the Mexican Minister
will sail for Europe in July, and they will spend
the summer abroad. Miss Leiter, the daughter
of tbe millionaire Chicago merchant who pays
110,000 a year for the six months' rent of
Blaine's house in Washington, has gone to
Europe, and she will probably be besieged by
tbe fortune bnnters. Her father is worth any
where from 15,000,000 to 10,000,000, and she has
more pin money than a Congressman has
salary. Mrs. Leiter has gone to New York and
the Dupont Circle house is closed lor the
summer.
PLIGHT OF THE DIPLOMATS.
The titled diplomats of the foreign legations
are fleeing from Washington. The Turkish
Minister, Mavoreynl Bey, has gone to Europe.
Sir Julian Fauncefote, Lady Pauncefote ana
Miss Pauncefote have taken a cottage at Man-cbester-by-tbe-Sea
and will spend the summer
in America, though tbey are planning a trip in
Europe next year. The Koreans, both men
and women, have engaged quarters at Berke
ley Springs, Va., ana they will lave their Jer
sey cream skins in the mineral waters there.
The Chinese Legation at this writing has not
yet left Washington.
General Ed Beall has gone to Manchester-by-the-Sea.
Mrs Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is
in Canada. Mrs. Senator Gill Pearce has gone
to ber country borne in Dakota, and Mrs. Sena
tor Blackburn and daughter are at Lake Como,
New Jersey, where the Kentucky orator has a
cottage. Mrs. Senator ingalls and family have
gone back to Achison and have taken posses
sion of their magnificent establishment in that
little city. Their hou.e there is surrounded by
large grounds and they are as much in the
country as though they were on a farm.
WHEBE THE FABMEBS WILL GO.
Tbe Hon. Hugh McCulIoch, ex-Secretary of
the Treasury, will spend the greater part of the
summer on his farm in Maryland, and Mrs.
Senator Squire has taken quarters for tbe sea
son in the New York Tillage where her chil
dren are at school. In September she and Miss
Squire will go with the Senator to Seattle for a
couple of months. Mr. Kauffmann has left for
Alaska with bis wife, and Mrs. Justice Waits
and daughter have gone to Europe. Mrs. Bena
tor Sherman is spending more time .than usual
in Washington, but she will soon leave for her
home at Mansfield, where she has a magnificent
establishment.
Senator Erarts will spend the greater part of
the summer on his farm in Vermont. He owns
a place near Windsor, the milk produced by
which costs, he says, more than champagne,
and the butter averages somewhere about $2 a,
pound. Senator Evarts is one of the largest
leeders in public life, and be thoroughly en
joys good living. His long, thin frame can
take in an almost unlimited amount of terrapin
and champagne, and one of the best bon mots
which ever passed from lip to lip la Washing
ton society was that made by Roscoe Conkllng
wben he sat at tbe other end of the table from
Evaita at a White House dinner. He cast his
eyes at Erarts as he went boldly through course
after course, and finally said to tbe man at bis
side: "See little E-varts feeding his tape
worm."
SENATOR VANCE'S PABADISE.
Senator Edmunds has a very pretty country
place in Vermont and his home at Burlington
is high and cool. Benator Vance, of North
THE
Carolina, has about 1,000 acres surrounding
his country place near Asberille, N, C, and he
says he would a thousand times rather go
there than to White Sulphur Springs or Sara
toga. "The idea of paradise for me,!' be re
marked tbe other day, "is to get down at my
home In the mountains where I can throw off
my coat, stretch myself under a tree and watch
an old nigger plow with a one-eyed mule."
Ex-Senator Palmer writes mo that he Intends
to make a tour of the lakes on one of his
freight steamers, and after he returns he will
settle down in his log cabin near Detroit. This
log cabin contains about six rooms, and it cost
12,000 to build. Palmer has a lot of Jersey
cows, the milk ot which costs him fully as
much as that of Senator Evarts. and his farm,
ing is one of tbe luxuries of a millionaire. He
blows up stomps with dynamite, raises fish in a
pond kept fresh by a steam engine pumping
water into it, and entertains magnificently. He
calls himself a pioneer, and bis home Is ficti
tiously dubbed Font Hill, because be says there
is no fountain and no bill connected with it,
HOMES IN THE SUBURBS.
During the last flvo years onr leading states
men have been paying attention to Washing
ton suburban development, and now not a few
of the Senators own farms and lots near, .the
capital. Outside or the city tbe climate of the
District of Columbia is about tbe same as that
of Ohio, with the difference that we have here
more of a breeze, and our great men are learn
ing that tbey can jnst as well have a country
home near their seat of work as several hun
dred miles from it. Mr. Whitney started the
fah!on when he bongbt Grasslands for some
thing like 830,000 and made 178,000 out of it dur
ing his term of office. Don Cameron bought
the other day 42,000 worth of suburban prop
erty, and Sherman and Blaine. ex-Senator Kel
logg and a dozen other prominent men own
more or less suburban land.
The good speculation which President Cleve
land made in Oak View is well known. He
paid less than $30,000 for tbe place and sold it at
$100,000 profit. During bis administration the
roads surrounding his property ana throughout
the whole suburban part of the District were
piked and otherwise improved, and the
suburban drives of Washington are now finer
than those of any other city in tbe country.
This improvement has shot tbe price of lands
from $500 an acre up to from $1,000 to 15,000 an
acre, and all about the President's home land is
selling at 25 cents and upward per foot. A
square foot is a mighty small amount of land,
and 25 rents a foot means in the neighborhood
of $10,000 an acre.
NEW TEBEHOBY OPENINO UP.
The prospect now seems to bo that a great
suburban growth will spring up along the
Upper Potomac The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, during the past month, has paid tSO,
000 for 60 acres on tbe Maryland side facing the
Virginia hills within about three miles ei
Georgetown, and the probability is that a rail
road will bo rnn from Washington to Cumber
land on the bed of the old canal. This will
bring some of the most picturesque country In
the United States within easy access of Wash
ington. and already the ground is being plotted
and lots are being sold in this region.
Two Ohio men have bought one of tbe most
picturesque plots just below Cabin John's
Bridge, and have called their suburb Glen
Echo. They have already constructed a $20,000
rustic restaurant here, which is to be taken
charge of by Mr, Page, the man who feeds the
United States Senators at tbe Capitol, and this
will probably be tbe great driving resort of tbe
coming season. An electric road is now run
ning almost to Tennallytown past Oak View,
and there is a hotel there which is largely
patronized by Senators. Miss Gbundy, Jb.
EEFOEM AT CAPE MAY. '
Tho Old Resort Cleared of Otntrncilons and
Prettier Than Ever.
rSrxCIAL TELIGHJLM TO THE DISPATCH.
Cape May, N. J., June 2L
UPON the arrival
of Mrs. President
Harrison on Thurs
day evening, wben
she came to take
charge of her new
and only real estate
possession for the
summer. Cape May's
season was really
opened. Heretofore
the season has not
been fairly inaugu
rated nntil about tbe
Fourth of July, but
this year the sudden turn of affairs has cansea
increased travel to tbe shore, among tbem,
more than usual, a large number of people
from Pittsburg and Western Pennsylvania.
Many new faces are smiling upon the broad At
lantic while strolling upon "tbe finest beach in
the world."
This old resort never looked more attractive
than it does now, and can rightly be called tbe
"queen of ocean resorts." The streets and
avenues have been cleaned np, and look as
bright as can be. The ocean boulevard has
been beautified, and tho boardwalk, stretching
from end to end of the town in front of the
city, has been kept clear of booths, which aro
unsightly and wblcb are serious obstructions
to a full ocean view. Tbe management of the
town is wise in so doing. For two years or
more the beach has bad an unsightly wreck
strewn upon it, which made bathing unsate.
but the authorities this winter have removed
this danger, and bathing is now as safe as any
where along the coast. There is a gradual
slope from the edge of the town to the water's
edge, and the bard, clean, white sand affords a
splendid playground for tbe children.
CAFE MAY CHAT.
A. F. Bancon, ot Bradford, Pa., is a guest of
the Brexton.
Mrs. Frank L. Clark, of Pittsburg, sister to
Appraiser J. Graville Leach, of the port of'
Philadelphia, and to Frank Willing Leach, Sen
ator Quay's private secretary, is enjoying the
hospitality of the Cape May, while visiting her
parents. She was bred in this resort.
George H. Pritchard, of Pittsburg, has been
enjoying a well earned vacation here from
business cares.

Plentiful Attractions for All Comers Flno

rsrXCIAl TELXQBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
Asbuby Pabe, June 2t
SURELY this town,
boasting of three finan
cial institutions and the
very youngest bank
presideut in all the
world, must be ot some
little importance, but
especially when it is un
derstood that the com
munity is composed ot
resident population ex
clusively; that is, there
are no factories or other
means of extensive em
ployment to the masses
of people. When this
circumstance is consid
ered, tho question how
and why this place
flourishes, at onoe
antes.
And the answer is found in tbe salubrious
climate, excellent regulations, and the thrifty
publlo spirited residents of all tbe year round,
and, further, the odorous pine groves in the
vicimtv, the romantic lakes, and finally, tbe
old ocean itself, as it alternately laps and
thrashes the gently receding shore All these
and more are tbe attractions that bring visitors
by the million each summer to the place and
prevail upon many hundreds every year to
make this a permanent abiding place, rather
than the crowded, noisy, wearying city.

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
tractions ot this part of the Jersey shore.
Right here in Asbury Park, with its bustle
and gennlne commercial activity, in tbe busi
ness portion of tbe place, the style and f rivoll.
ty of tbe large hotels, tbe cool delights ot boat
ing or sailing about the picturesque lakes, or
the refreshing air and balmy pleasures of the
brown-sanded boacb, almost any man can find
that which he needs. But if the diverse charms
of Asbury Park, and its adjacent off springs.
North Asbury, Interlaken, Loch Arbour and
Deal, to tbe north do not meet tbe require
ments of the weary sojourner, let him cross
Wesley Lake, the southern boundary of Aibury
Park, and sing psalm tunes with the Methodists
in far-famed Ocean Grove.
Should Iong-metered hymns not quiet his
nerves, and theaoxology and the hallelujah
chorus fail to soothe bis splrlt,he will find in the
same place at an early day, the assemblies of
tbe gay but studious Chautanquans, the camp
meeting of the National Temperance Society,
the convention of tbe Order ot Deaconesses,
the association of the American Sabbath
Union, tbe Women's Christian Encouragement
meeting, tbe New England Sunday School As
sembly, tbe African Methodist Episcopal
Jubilee, tbe convention of Principals of Meth
odist Seminaries, the Inter-denominational
Bible Conference, the gathering of Kings'
Daughters; and finally, the great ten-day camp
meeting celebrated all over the world for the
eloqnence and religious fervor displayed.
Still if all these things move not tbe captions
mind, let its owner walk across Fletcher Lake
on the south, through a grove ot murmuring
pines, to historic A von-by-the-sea. Here surely
the profound thinker, the logician, tbe rhetor
ician, the seeker in tbe fathomless depths of
religions and scientific thought, will find kin
dred spirits in the Summer school ot Christian
Philosophy. This Is a gathering of leading
doctors of divinity, doctors of law and scient
ists, with hardly a like in this oountry. Here
the Rev. Dr. Charles F. Deems, of the Church
of the Strangers, and other celebrated theolo
gians and men of profound study and research
discuss the transcendental, the sasthetlc, tbe
sublime.
A HAVEN FOB ANGLEBS.
Beyond the stately groves and tbe wisdom of
the philosophers of Avon, or Key East, lie the
queenly resorts of Ocean Beach and Spring
Lake, better in their class of frequenters than
Long Branch in its palmiest days. To these
places is added tho extra attraction ot a broad
river, abounding with flsb, crabs and oysters
of superior flavor. This is Shark river, once
the retreat of f eared,but fearless, pirates.
All tbese places are within easy walking dis
tance of Asbury Park, the oldest, largest and
wealthiest resort of all. ''Only a short drive to
tbe north are Long Branch, once the summer
capital, Elberon, Norwood Park, West End,
Hollywood, Monmouth Beach and the dozens
ot smaller resorts on the Sandy Hook penin
sula. So it is that Asbury Park is the center
of the Jersey shore attractions, the hub of
summer resorts along this coast.
Tbe preparations for the season's business
were generally finished by the 1st of this
month, ana now tho summer boarders are ar
riving in large numbers by every train, prob
ably as rapidly as they can be well accommo
dated. On Monday, the three railroads here,
the Pennsylvania, New Jersey Central and tbe
New Jersey Southern begin theirsnmmer trains
from New York and Philadelphia. Beveral
extra express trains will then be rnn, including
those now on the time tables. At about the
same time, the iron steamboats will begin run
ning between New York and the Long Branch
pier. The excursion rate by this line is but
$1 10. 75 cents by steamer and 35 cents by rail,
against tbe tl,8o excursion rate of the all rail
lines to Asbury Park.
Cottage life here has so grown Into popular
ity that there is now almost as much struggling
to secure tbe summer rental of cozy cottages as
formerly existed on the part of real estate
agents to gain the patronage of prospective les
sees. Thero is but little unimproved property
in Aebury Patk. Yet there are a few dozens of
choice lots which are held at fabulous prices
by speculators and New York and Philadelphia
capitalists.. These men are asking more for
their small, sandy possessions, without a stick

The picnicking epidemic has raged during
tbe past week to the exclusion of almost every
thing else, except a few commencement exer
cises that did not swell the majority of the
week before delayed, perhaps, on the same
principle as the society belle delays her arrival
at a reception or party, because by entering
alone, or nearly so, sbe creates more of a sensa
tion than wben in company with the many.
The epidemic however, has affected all classes,
and the prompt departure of trains on regular
schedules h'as prevented any tardiness in arrival
by those desiring to enjoy a day's outing with
friends and associates. So prevalent has been
the disease that besides numerous Sunday
schools, musical associations and private pic
nics, the attornoys ot the two citie succumbed
and became boys again upon the green sward
at Rock Point, and the Woman's Club. In a
merry outing, spent last Tuesday at the home
of Mrs. Charles L Wade, in Edgewooa.
The Woman's Clnb, despite its rapidly accu
mulating age which generally is considered a
detriment wben confounded with women in
any way, is a most charming clnb and Includes
In Its membership any number of ladles, talent
ed and educated, each with some special aim or
ambition in life to which they are devoting
their time and energy in (nch a way as to exalt
tbem above the petty trifles of life and make
tbem strong and belprul as well as the most
delightful of companions.
..
A Picturesque Group.
Such an Interesting group as was seen seated
in picturesque attitudes upon the lovely lawn
last Tuesday is seldom presented to one's view.
Occupying the President's chair was Mrs.
Wade, whose meanderlngs In the realms of
thought, as published under the nom de plume
of "Bessie Bram ble," often leave the reader In
a brambled condition, tbat in many instances
proves beneficial even ere the wounds are
healed. Seated near her was Mrs. Dr. A. B.
Ramsey, the bright, vivacious little woman
who in her profession, tbat of dentistry, has at
an early age attained a degree of perfeetion
rarely excelled by the sturdier representatives
and who has in her studies reached a point
where she is a paragon of knowledge to moder
ately educated individuals.
Mrs. J. S. Collins, a quiet, refined little mem
ber ot the group, has perpetrated ber strong
temperance principles In several charming vol
umes, one of which will soon make its appear
ance. Mrs. George H. Taylor was one of the
essayists of the occasion, and tbe club had tbe
pleasure of listening to the words of wisdom as
they fell from the lips of tbe writer. Instead of
viewing them in print, as any number of read
ers of the Sunday papers do, and find as a Sig
nature the full name of the lady.
Another Active Worker.
Listening Intently to the discussion that fol
lowed the reading of the papers, and occa
sionally taking part in the conversation, was
Miss Cara Reese, the talented Pittsburg society
editress, whose writings average about two
columns a day, and who, by tbe way, left tbe
city yesterday to attend tbe commencement
exercises of Backnell University, at Lewis
burg, of which she is a graduate, and to give
tbe students and tbelr friends who will be
present the benefit of her three years' expe
rience in the newspaper work in an essay on
"Women in the Journalistic Profession."
Not far from her was seated in a comfortable
chair Mrs. M. E. Dinwiddle, who, as "Pansy,"
has appeared in print regularly for sometime,
and wbo.as a school girl, wrote most ot the essays
for her class until the Professor detected the
universal ring in them all and investigated.
Mrs. Ida L. Easton was another member of the
group, who in person is as bright and entertain
ing as "Wilma" is in the Eastern magazines.
Others there fairly sparkling with wit, and
possessed of wonderful fascinations in the at
tractions of the mind, were Mrs. George
Bcblenderberg, Mrs. Dr. Winslow, Mrs. Ervine
Reynolds, Mrs. Mary Schriven, Mrs. Max
Becker and Mrs. A. F. Bryce, the leader of the
East Liberty W.C.T.U.
Thobne Bbanoh.

cially if well advertised for one of the fall holi
days, such as Grand Army Day or Labor Day.
GENA3AL Snowden, as commandant of the
Division, bas issued a circular to brigade and
regimental commanders requesting that ladles
be not allowed to remain in camp over .night
next month. Tbe reason assigned Is. that In
?ast encampments their presence at night was
aund inconvenient if not hurtful to discipline.
Local officers think the Idea a good one, al
though tbe practice of taking ladles to camp
has been in vogue principally among the coun
try regiments only.
General Wtlie has been' asked byjtbe
committee in charge of the Allegheny Semi
centennial to order out the Fourteenth and
Eighteenth Regiments and Batterv B f or July
17, tbe date selected for the celebration. On
account of the day being so close to the time
for tbe departure of the troops for camp, there
may be some trouble in getting the local com
panies to turn out. Besides the organizations
mentioned above, it is designed to add to the
military portion of the parade by inviting the
Washineton Infantry, Sheridan Sabres, Hl
berlan Rifles and other semi-military organiza
tions to participate.
A meeting of the officers of the Eighteenth
Regiment will be called this week by Colonel
Smith, to determine the exact date of tbe de
parture of the regiment for camp next month.
Most of tbe company commanders favorleaving
tbe city Friday evening, July 18, so as to arrive
at tbe scene of tbe encampment early Saturday
morning. The matter will be left by Colonel
Smith to a vote of tbe officers. On account of
the five days' pay this year it is expected many
ot the companies will refuse to sign over any of
the money for extra rations, and as it is next to
an impossibility to lire on tbe State's commis
sary allowance, some of the local Captains da
not desire to get on the ground any earlier than
necessary.

A new encampment of tho U. V. L. has been
organized at Clarion. Pa. Thirty names are on
the charter list.
Fifty volumes of good books, the contribu
tion of Colonel R. G. Herron. were added to
tbe library of Encampment No. I, U. V. L., last
week. Charley Franks presented tbe Library
Committee with a handsomely framed picture
of Washington and his Generals.
Judqino from the number of old soldiers
that daily visit tbe office of General Pearson,
who desire to be admitted to the soldiers'
homes, there must be very many of the old
veterans unable to gain their dally bread by
the sweat'of their brows. As the General has
not yet been officially notified of his appoint
ment as one of the Board ot Managers, ha can
only refer them to the nearest member. Colonel

An anonymous writer in one of the city pa
pers bas attacked the legion for causing the
arrest of Dr. Barr. wbo was charged with, and
afterward entered a plea ot guilty of illegally
wearing the shield badge of tbat organization.
The law expressly provides that anyone not a
member of tbe military Order of tbe Loyal
Legion, G. A. R., or U. V. It, who shall wear
tbe badge of any ot those orders sball be guilty
of a misdemeanor. This act was paised to pro
tect the public from irresponsible persons wbo
might get one of tbe badges. Tbe law is not to
protect tbe organizations, but the citizens at
large, and tbe arrest of tbe party was dooe, not
only in the interest ot the community, bnt to
show tbat the orders above named hare a pride
in their service, and to indicate tbat any who
undertake to "play" the old soldier will find
himself In the custody of the Warden of the
county jail. An example or two of this kind
will soon rid the public of frauds and make the
legitimate owners of badges proud ot their service.
