The summer days have com with a rush,
And the human tide is setting seaward and hill
Trard. The schools hare closed, and teacher
and parent alike are packing up for a breath
ing spell. Ladles look forward with delight to
airy costumes of cool muslins, India silk, ham
docks, flirtations and chic bathing suits. The
summer man scents delight in flannel shirts,
blazers, russet shoes, dips in salty swells and
fishing frolics. Everywhere all is in readiness
to receive the city's exodus, and revelry will
reign on sandy shore and hhady mountain until
the autumn breezes chill Old Ocean and gold
tint the leaves and bire the branches that hare
sheltered the fortunate portion of humanity.

Cape Mat, N. J.,
June 28. The opening
of the season took
place to-night. The big
Stockton and the other
large hotels swung
their big doors wide
open this morning.
Gaycty rules, and
everybody seems to en"
iorliiebr the seaside.
The arrivals are numer
ous and manr bouses
are doing a better busi
ness now than they have
done In mid-summer in
many seasons gone by.
The hotels are aglow to
iJLiiU
fin
night with brilliant opening hops, and summer
Is here in dead earnest. The large number
here can be partly attributed to the presence of
. the ladies of the White House, who are thor
oughly enjoying their visit They generally
pass the morning in occasional excur
sions along the strand or in shop
ping. In the afternoon, until about
4, they take refreshing caps, after
which they enjoy time driving about the place.
They have few callers, because of the scarcity
of Drominent Cabinet ladies here. The only
visitors now at the Harrison cottage are Mrs.
Dimmick, niece of Mrs. Harrison, who came
with tbe party when it arrived, and Mr. Gen
eral Williams, of Washington, who arrived last
Saturday evening. They will remain some
time. Tbe cottage of .Postmaster General
Wanamaker is being put in order as fast as the
work can be done lor the early occupancy of
the family. The family of ex-Senator Sewell,
of New Jersey, are now at their cottage for the
summer.
Tiie most distinguished ecclesiastical person
age wbo bas been visiting tbe Cape this week
is Cardinal Gibbons, bead of the Catholic
Hierarchy in the United States, who came on
Tuesday evening and remained until to-day.
He was accompanied by tbe Rt. Rev. Bishop
Ryan, of Buffalo, and his private secretary,
Kev. Father Nolan, of Baltimore. The Car
dinal is an annual visitor, and finds time to
spend two or three weeks here every season.
The cottacers are about all here, of which a
few are from Pittsburg. Among the most
noted is Mrs. Kearney, widow of the brave
General Phil Kearney, who did so much valua
ble service for the United States in the Mexi
can and Civil wars. Mrs. Kearney owns her
cottage, and is found here every season. In
winter she makes her home in Alexandria, Va.
The Pittsburgers who come to Cape May are
mostly transient euests, excepting a few who
cottage or take rooms for tbe season at tbe
hotels. Many are booked for stars at the
.gtocKton. which is tbe lareest hotel here and
which cost 600.000 when built. At the time
(1S0S) it was the largest hotel on the Atlantic
coast.
The town is full of newspapermen to-night
from Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
who are quartered at the Stockton. The an
nual excursion of the Washington journalists,
given by the Pennsylvania Hailroad Company,
arrived here on a special train this afternoon
under the care of Mr. George W. Boyd, the
popular passenger agent of that great system.
They are enjoying a hop riven in their bonor
to-nurht and will also enjoy another one on
Monday. They will devote to-morrow and Mon
day to boating, fishing, bathing, etc., and will
return to their homes on Tuesday morning in

Atlantic Citt, June
28. "There she Is, she
speaks for herself, and
Its tbe most beautiful
sight God has ever per
mitted me to gaze upon."
So spoke tbe venerable
Browning when, many
years ago, he, at a. ban-
quet given here, toasted
"Atlantic City." That
, was a great compliment
from a great man. Many
' kindly remarks have
been made of this glori
ous seaside city since
then, but the latest flat
tering commentary, if
snch It can be called,
comes from the two delegate bodies that rep
resents tbe "physicians of the homeopathic
scliool throughout tbe world, and who at a re
cent meeting to determine upon a place for
their next session settled upon Atlantic.
The bare fact.of any representative body of
men holding a session here does net upon the
face of it seem important. Probably it is not,
but the meeting of tbe American Institute of
Homeopathy, which represents the 16,000 phy
sicians in America, and the Congress of Inter
national Homeopathy, representing 21000
physicians abroad, will be of interest to every
man or woman who practices medicine under a
diploma from the schools that believes "like
cures like." Already there has been talk of
erecting a building here suitable for tbe pur
pose, although the session will not be held
until next session.

never looked more
beautiful. Everywhere
the lavish and floral
hand of June is appar.
ent. Roving nature
in its most charming
costume. The waters
attbe Falls have not been so high for years
and it presents two different aspects as it
rolls over tbe cataract, that on the American
Fall being of a dirty brown color, while that of
the Horseshoe is of the deep sea green, which
lights up beautifully in the rays of the sun.
Flitting here and there among tbe rnshmg and
seething waters below tbe Falls is the staunch
little boat Maid of the Mist, a ride on which up
under the very Falls is one of the chief at
tractions. The other night the Falls were illuminated
for the first time by electricity. The view from
Prospect Point is one of dazzling brilliancy.
Tbe lights all over the islands, among tbe fo
liage, glistening on tbe rising spray, makes a
ravishing picture. It is a spectacle alone worth
going hundreds of miles to see.
Society this week has devoted most of its at

Each battalion bas a band, and martial music
is constantly wafted from the old ramparts of
Fort George. .The grand military bop was
given at the Queen's Royal, Thursday evening.
Tne ball room was crowded. Officers from Fort
Niagara, on tbe American side, were in at
tendance and gave an additional brilliancy to
the scene. Tbe belle of tbe ball was. Miss
Gussie Glenny, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L E.
Glenny, of New Orleans. Miss Glenny was
one of the beauties of the Mardi Gras festival
last winter, and whose name is well known
throughout the United States. The rich

ABBtraY Park, June
23. The season opens
this week with a de
cided rush of new
comers for the two
great cities on either
side and from West
em towns. The rail
roads are now being
taxed to the utmost,
and the long-suffering
baggage masters raise
their hands and voices
at the enormous heaps
of weighty trnnks
which are piled at
either end of tbe
Union station of this
town.
Tbe storms and
muggy weather of the first days of this week
delayed tbe coming ot many thousands who
had engaged rooms or cottages. Hence the
present rush includes many who, had it not
been for tbe rain, would have been here a week
ago.
Rain and foggy weather have depressing in
fluences everywhere, but nowhere is it more
evident than at tbe seashore. That is a fact
nselrss to dispute. Even tbe over optimistic
lanuioras ireeiy cumcaa hua, duiiuij ujo aiv I
horribly oppressive to people cuddled up in I
their looms er the parlors. Gossip, intrigue
j'
- f (i fi
WmM
and scandal are tbe Inevitable eutcome of close
confinement in a seaside hotel. Fortunately,
bad days are, as a rule, few and far between on
this part of tbe Atlantic seaboard during tbe
summer; and nowhere else, probably, aro the
people so much out-of-doors as here.
Bathing began yesterday afternoon when the
clouds rolled away and a warm southern
breeze displaced tbe northeast wind which
here is ever f orbodlng and ominous. Hundreds
were battling with the surf all along the Ocean
Grove and Asbnry Park beaches. Some hardy
people here bathe in the ocean regularly from
the first of May or middle ot April until very
late in autumn. They seem none the -worse
for it; bnt bathing for the masses was begun
yesterday at the regular hours, from 1 to 6 In
the afternoon. Prospects for bright summery
weather are now most excellent, and In conse
quence bathing is more general than ever be
fore so early in the season.
At no place on the coast is there as much
batbing as here. One reason of this is tnat the
accommodations for bathers are better and
safer here than can be secured anywhere else
in tbe world. For 25 cents a suit, towels and
a good room are given. Checks are given
for valuables without extra charge,
and on tbe bathing grounds both in
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove are stationed
from two to five batbing masters at each point
where tbe batbing is good. These men are
hardy fellows, expert swimmers and trained
for their responsible duties. Carefully pro
tected while battling with the breakers, the
bather emerges and rashes for his room.
Should the stranger find difficulty in finding
his place on the labyrintbian passages, he will
have tbe assistance of polite attendants who
will also bring him a pail of fresh water and
other accessories for toilet making.
Mr. Nelson Richer. Cashier of a Pittsburg

Nearly every cottage in Sea Isle City is
now occupied, and tbe vacant ones will find
tenants during the next week.
Chief Justice Paxson, of the Supreme
Court, likes Atlantic City, and will spend the

striped stockings, is just beginning to appear;
likewise tbe aspiring youth in tennis suit and
yellow shoes.
Athletic yonug ladies will be pleased to
learn that they can continue their exercises at
Cape May. A ladies' athletic club bas been
formed there.
Lively young folks prefer Atlantic City to
all other resorts. The human panorama there
is ever shifting, and it is impossible to grow
lonesome and dull.
The cottage colony at Atlantic City is larger
than usual at this time of the year. The
pleasant round of dinners, musicaies and
dances has already set in.
Mary Anderson's Long Branch cottage
bas not yet been leased, and it is rumored that
later in the season, after having done the for
eign watering places, she will return to her
own home for a season.
With the opening and closing of the great
Auditorium the Ocean Grove season may be
said to begin and end. This year the Audito
rium will open to-day, when tbe whole ma
chinery of tbe place will be In running order,
and a perfect round ot meetings will follow
each other in rapid succession.
OUR MILITARY BOYS.
Admiral Ufshur, of tbe United States
Navy, is visiting friends in this city.
Capaxn James K. Murdoch; of the Second
Brigade staff, arrived home from the East yes
terday. The Washington Infantry held a very suc
cessful reception at Silver Lake Grove on last
Wednesday.
A meeting of the members of Battery B
will be held to-morrow evening for the purpose
of raising funds to purchase extra rations for
camp,
Thb Duquesne Grays Indulged in target
practice at Corcoran station, on the B. A O. R.
R., last Friday. Several medals were con
tested for.
The number of prominent officers of the Na
tional Guard from all parts of the State, at the
convention at Harrisburglast week, was some
thing renr&rkable.
Major Harry Evans, an old member of
the guard in this vicinity, but for several years
a resident of New York City, spent several
days among bis friends in this city last week.
A MEETIKG of the Second Brigade Examin
ing Board has been called for Monday evening,
July 7, at 8:30 o'clock, at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel. The numbir of candidates to appear
are very few, as two meetings have been held
lately.
No action has yet been taken by either of the
local regiments relative to tnrnlng out for tbe
parade at the Allegheny semi-Ceutennial on
July 17. It is probable tbe Tenth Regiment
will take part in the ceremonies that day, and
leave for camp that night.
Lieutenant McLain, of Company E, Four
teenth Regiment, has been appointed acting
Inspector of Rifle Practice of tbe Fourteenth
Regiment, to take charge of target practice In
the regiment during the absence of Lieutenant
Brown, wbo leaves for Europe shortly.
Dr. W. T. English, Assistant Burgeon of
the Eighteenth Regiment, has tendered bis
resignation to Colonel Smith, on account of tbe
pressure of private business. The probable
successor of Dr. EncliBh Is hard to name, but
the appointment will be made before camp.
Since the passage of the bill favoring tbe
appointment of members of the National
Guard to commissions in the regular service,
several hundred applications have been filed
at the War Department in Washington. Tbe
cbaucesare thatnot a single appointment can
be made for several years to come.
CAPTAIN WrxLIAH M. Awl, of Company F,
Eighteenth Regiment, was unanimously elected
to tbe command of the company last Friday
night for an ensuing term of five years. Forty
one men were present, and altbongb considera
ble talk had been ihduleed in rezardinc the
candidacy of a former officer of tbe company,
no opposition appeared at the election.
At the meeting ot the Boardof Control of the
Fourteenth Regiment, last Monday night, it
was decided to have tbe regiment leave for
camp on Saturday evening, July 19. The motion
was carried by a very slight majority of those
officers present, and it is probable an effort will
be made to chance the date to Friday night, as
considerable difficulty will undoubtedly be ex
perienced by arriving on tbe grounds on Sun
day morning. Most ot the regimsntsof the First
Brigade will arrive in camp Sunday, so those
organizations that get on the grounds before
that day will get the benefit of tbe use of the
wagons, and other necessaries before the gen
eral rush.
Brigade Quartermaster Greenland,
with several of the regimental Quartermasters
from this end of the State, visited the camp
ground at Mt Guthrie last Wednesday. Tbe
grounds are being prepared in good shape for
the coming tour of duty, very much of the
wooded portion being cleared away. io that all
the regiments this year will be out in the open.
The arrangements first decided on, which
placed the Second Brigade down near thegrove
occupied by the First Brigade three years ago.
have been changed, and all tbe brigades will
occupy exactly the same ground as at last en
campment. The various brigade and division
headquarters will also be in the same plans. -

Gloveless is many a pretty girl on the street
and in the public places, and comfortable she
is too. If comfort can be obtained by sensible
clothing. Some few summers ago the maidenB
who now affect the 'easy, loose-fitting, low
necked garments that are to be seen upon
everj thorougbfare would have been horribly
shocked at tbe very idea of appearing any
where except in their own boudoir in Buch at
tire, and tbe stiff linen collar, with the high
outer collar of tbe dress, was the only correct
form for street wear, while the bands must he
encased In gloves, no matter how disagreeable
and uncomfortable sucn encasing proved nor
how many pairs of gloves it required during
the summer.
Now the reaction has set in, however, and
with sucb a vim that It is Interesting to specu
late on what it may lead to. While there has
beenja great deal of controversy regarding re
form dress, and the whole country bas been
agitated over it, yet tbe peculiar reform that
has, during tbe past and present warm spell,
been adopted by the ladies, young and old, in
our city had no particular forerunner. The
newspapers and fashion writers did not predict
a gloveless season, which, while it may brown
the dainty hands, will afford a splendid oppor
tunity for displaying the exquisite rings that
belong to milady. Nor did they to any great
extent predict a collarless season, but such It
proves to be, and when once the collar is
ignored it is torture to reinstate it.

Consider Well Before Yon Leap.
In discarding it, however, it Is well to stndy
yourself, somewhat, if yon care for your ap
pearance at all. The low round meek should
not be adopted by any except very youthful
maids with very youthful, pretty necks. The
high back: with V effect in front is not nearly
so trying; and can bo worn with safety, and
gold beads by almost everyone. But tbe sur
plice neck effect is one that is equally becoming
to old and young, plain or pretty, and more or
less of the neck may be exposed according to
its beauty, or the degree of heat.
Tbe gentlemen, with one accord, admire the
innovation and delight in the fact that the
young ladies are caring moro for comfort than
elegance and donning, with universal grace
and for almost universal wear, the tennis
blouse, or shirt, as one particularly bright
maiden with dancing eyes always calls
it, even in the cafe, where she said,
within my hearing, one day last week:
"I wonder if it will be bad form
for me to eat in my shirt sleeves" and, whether
it was or not, she quickly slipped her "blazer"
off and enjoyed fried chicken, French fried
potatoes, iced tea and strawberries and cream,
with the zest of one perfectly indifferent to
anything but her own happiness. She wasn't
a particle masculine in ber make-up either,
and the shirt was a sweet littlo affair of percale
with a tiny pink figure in it.
Takes Her Brother's Neckties.
She, with all her faults was charming, never
theless, but, I am strayipg from my subject a
pretty girl has such a strong fascination' for me
that it is with sorrow I drop her to write of her
ardent admirer, tho young man. individually or
collectively, wbo admires the Innovation as I
have already said. It may be that there is a
grain of selfishness in his admiration, that he
knows tbe raging attire, adopted tor this raging
weather, by the girls means greater liberty and
freedom for him in tbe same line increased
comfort and decreased laundry bills.
He doesn't seem to care at all for the en
croachment made upon his mode of dressing
by tbe fair ones, but be objects seriously to
having his handsome new four-m-band appro
priated by his sister. One of the most perfect
dressers in Pittsburg confided his trials and
tribulations to me yesterday in a manner cal
culated to arouse pity in the heart of the most
flinty nature.
"You Bee," he said, "I never know whether I
have a tie or not, or a sasb, for that matter. I
think what Ethel can't wear herself she gives
to her girl friends. - It was only to-day she
drove down here with two other girls, and, as
true as I live, they all bad on ties belonging
to me. One was a delicate lavender
that I expected to christen to morrow
but I shall have to forego that pleasure now and
look out tor a new oue this afternoon. It's
really serious, I don't know what I am going to
do about It, for you know it Is rather expensive
supplying a whole village with four-in-hands,
but I couldn't say anything when I saw those
three darling girls, even though they had
ransacked my dresser in order to look pretfy
and probably tried the effect of every tie in my
possession before deciding upon tbe very ones
that I especially admired.

Remonstrance is Useless.
"Remonstrance, you say I By, Jove, I tried it
the other evening and dear little sis just gave
me a genuine old fashioned bug, hot as it was,
and said: 'You really don't care Tom, if I wear
some of your pretty ties occasionally do yon,
for you have so many you know.'
"Oh, hnml Of course I didn't, just then,"
concluded Tom, with a resigned air.

THE VETERANS' COLUMN.
A Conclso Statement of the Mew Pension
Law Camp-Fire Gossip.
The new pension law was the most important
topic of conversation in old soldier circles last
week. The provisions of the law are expected
to reach one-half of the living soldiers. Of
course, many will get only tbe minimum, S3 per
month. With the object of giving the veterans
and their friends a clear idea of the law in con
densed form the editor of the Grand Army
column requested Comrade J. H. Stevenson,
the pension attorney, and a member of Post 88,
to "Doit it down." Comrade Stevenson's con
densation is appended:
The bill gives to dependent mothers, and if
the mother be dead, to tbe father, a pension,
provided tbe soldier died in the service or of a
disease contracted there. This lets in many
cases now on file.
To widows and minor children (nnder 1G
years), even if tbe cause of death had Its ori
gin since the war, commencing from the date
of application.
To' soldiers who are disabled now, no matter
when it began. They mnst show 90 days' serv
ice, honorable discharge and present disability.
Twelve dollars per month is the highest and t(J
per month the lowest pension grantable.
Soldiers who draw less than (12 per month
can get an increase up to that figure, if thev
have disabilities contracted since the war of
a pensionable nature. ' '
Soldiers' Widows' Home Dedicated.

station was dedicated on Thnrsday with be
fitting exercises. Too much praise cannot be

It will remain a lasting and useful monument
to the order, and many a blessing will be
uttered by many a deserving soldier's widow or
mother on those wbo made it possible that they
could have a pleasant resting place in their old
age. The dedicatory services partook of a
fatriotically oratorical and musical nature,
romlnent Grand Army men spoke, among
whom were Rev. John A, Danks, Rev. T. iS.
Boyle and Rev. J. F. Core. An addrets of wel
come was made by Mrs. Henrietta Gerwig. A

The shrewd business man of to-day Is always on the lookout for some
thing: that will interest his customers. If a manufacturer or importer
gets into a tight place and is forced to "realize," the wide-awake mer
chant never fails to take advantage of the opportunity. Of course,
judicious buying is required under such circumstancea The first point
to make sure of is that the goods thus forced upon the market are fash
ionable and up to the standard in quality.
"We are always in the field for bargains and always give our
patrons the full advantage of them. Buyers appreciate genuine, bar
gains. We never advertise them unless -when we can deliver the goods.
IS IT KIBB0NS YOU WANT?
As advantageous a purohase as any this house ever made Is a lot
of the very finest heavy pure Silk Ribbons, 3 1-2 to 4 inches wide
These we are in a position to sell at 29o p9r yard. Positively the best
goods offered, no matter what the price. All the fashionable shades
Nile, Black, Light Blue, Heliotrope, Brown, Navy, Pink, eta The rib
bons are all plain colors, heavy gros grain and the new mousseline
weave. We really cannot speak too highly of this most attractive
bargain. At 6O0 a yard you'd say the ribbons are cheap. Call while
the assortment is complete.
Another item of interest is the fact that we have just purchased a
well-known importer's entire line of Dress Buckles made of Steel, Pearl,
Oxidyzed and Gilt Metal. These will be placed on sale to-morrow at
lOo, 15c, 20o, 25o and 60c. All are of exquisite design and are the
cheapest buckles ever sold In Pittsburg or any other city.
THE TALK OF TWO CITIES.
Our great bargain sale of Summer Millinery still continues. It has
been pretty well advertised outside the newspapera Such extraordin- -ary
values as were offered in this department last week caused no
little talk among the ladies and the stream of buyers was incessant.
We enumerate below a few special bargains and leave it to the readers
