Atlantic City People Think This Is the Iet Town on Earth. ffrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TDB DISPATCH. 1 Atlai.tio Crrr, July 25 If hotel keepers were a trifle despondent last week and cervously fingered the useless stubs in their check books, it was because the weather thowed an alarming disposition to iuterfere with tne prosperity of tho reason at seashore resorts by blessing citv dwellers with cool wares that made them content to stay at home. Tho sight ol unfilled pages on their registers transformed the ordinal ily genial bomfacea into gloomy pes-iml'ts, and for a time they forgot tho old saw that it is dark est J u-t before da wu aud Its side partner that declares that every cloud has a silver lining V"lth the current week came a happy change for thebctter.and until further notice Ailnnnc Citj hotel proprietors are opti mists of the mo-t pronounced character. It seemed ai if tho many people who were waiting to bo driven to Its seashore by hot w eatiier Ind suddenlv grown impatient at the del ly and had packed their trunk at a rnoinnt'-. nntico. The first symptoms of the approicl mg boom were noticed last Bundav In the crowd that poured into the lrixnd from Siturdav afternoon to the suc ceeding uiomrag there v. ere over 1",000 visi tors or this number fully two-thirds came tlowji i repAred to remain Tor periods rang ing from one to six weeks.

The concourse of visitors represented the regular patrons to whom the hotel keeper look lor their mam support Until now, the season which was expected to be the most prosperous in tho history of the place, has leally been the most uncertain, but during ali the annus fluctuations it wus notioaable that while the Philadelphia patiouage was tardy there was no detection among the gui ots from other cities. Ih s is particulailv true of tho Pittsburg following, winch was never larger than this oar Iheanx'ous seashore correspondent presents him-elf at the hotel desk rrd asks if ne cap cot the namea of a few Pittsbunr guests "How many do you want " asks the accommodating clerk, as he shoves out a re?itc"-plentifully sprinkled with the names oi visitors from the metroo-olij- of W cstern I'eniibyl vanla At the Grand Opera Houe tho astute coined. .m nightly perpetrati - a Pittburg gag, and the round of applaun thit follow warrants his pre puuiptior that in his audience thit citv is not withou' ample representation.

In faot, the entire place is cov eied with webs to catch the Pittsburg fly. Wily Pittsburgers Are Popular. And why is not the same effort devoted to securing the patronage of visitors from Jew Toik, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia or from any other of the larger cities? Be cause, to qi.ote a leading hotel man: "We don t w int them if we can get Pittsburgers. A e want guests who like good tare, plenty of it and w ho are w illing to pay for it." That Is the secret of the matter in a nutshelk In The Dispatch of a ew weeks back the, collapse oi some of the ponaerous new nmiiscmont enterprises of Atlantio City was presaged Disaster has already overtaken the Atlantic City Amusement Compan one of the concerns reiened to, and Hun dreds of creditors are vainly olamor intr for their vanished shekels.

Ae far as Atlantio City is concerned the at tack of the liberal party ou the existing oh-ccrvi-ijce of Sunday has boon a dire failure. As toid in Tnii Dispatch last week, the pro prietors of places of amusement on tho coarUwalk decided to keep open on Sunday in open defiance to the law.

Sooie idea of tho big crowd that Is hero may bo given from the following record showing the number of guests during tha week at one of tho larger hotels: Sunday, E; Monday. 255; Tuesday, 3U; Wednesday, S64; Thursday, 3S8. A charity ban was given last night at the United States Hotel, the proceeds of which were donated to the Mercer Memorial Home and tho Children's Seashoie Hotel, two very worthy institutions. This evening a grand ball is in progress at the United States In aid of tho building fund of the Congregation of Beth Israel for their new synagogue.

CrxsBON, July 25. It has been muoh warmer here this week and the blazing log fires are no longer needed, but it continues as quiet as ever, at least among the grown up portion of the guests. Cresson is un doubtedly a paradise for children and the little people do not seed to find it dull, even on a rainy morning. One of the prettiest little ones here is Miss Helen Flick, of Pitts burg, who is happily spending her third summer here, though she is certainly not without her rivals, and perhaps every nurse is Justified in thinking her own little charge most lovable. The older children are 6tlll dollghted with the success of their entertainment, and it is whispered that they are planning another, whioh is to leave that utterly in the shade, but as it is to be keptaproloundseoret more information would spoil it. The little folks certainly are to be commended for thntr ef- forts to keep tha -social hall rolling, andj their elders might profitably followthelr ex ample. One of the daughters of Mr. H. a Frlek is quite ill at this writing, though It is thought she is improving. Dr. McClelland, who has been the guest of Mr. Ftick since his arrival at tho Carnegie cottage, is in at tendance. A tableaux entertainment is on tho tapis for some time next week. It is to be hold in the largest hotel parlor and only the very small children will take part. The proceeds are to bo devoted to charitable purposes. From Pittsburg havo lately arrived Mr, and Mrs. A.

There Is no getting away from the fact that the business at all the resorts is not Uke it was last year to hotel men, but as far as the railroads are con cerned they are doing a much better busi ness than tho past two years. Tho arrivals at the cape this season are about equal to those of last season, but tho railroad business has Increased 80 per cent over that of last season. The exceedingly high tides of the past week at Cape May Point havo caasod much interest, lhe President aud family go night ly to the scene. The larally usually sits down to tea between 6 and 6 30 o'clock, and is out at 7. The family generally pairs off with 'President Harrison and little Ben, and Mrs. Harrison and her niece, Mrs, Dimmlck, in the lead, and the visitors aie soused to seeing them that they hardly go out of their way to meet them, except to pass the time of day. Another crabbing party was enloved by tne family this week. Colonel William H. Crook was a visitor to the Presiaontal cottage this week. Ho is disbursing officer at the White House. While the EpworthLeagueoftheMethodist Church was in session laat Tuesd&v ovomnff. Private Secretary Halford dropped in upon the assembly unexpectedly.

It is ex pected that se veral riders from Pennsylvania and 2ew Jersey will take part. The Popular Pastimes. The favorite pastime of the visiting belle and her admirers Just now is a long tally-ho trip among the forests which lie Just outside of Cape May, or to take long evening sails on the sound these moonlight nights. Tho tally-ho parties are made up oi about a dozen young people equally divided as to sex, who enjoy either in the morning or in the atternoon from a two to three-hour ex cursion over the quaint old roads that wind through the woods and lead them to old farmhouses situated in the beautiful coun try distriot about Fishing creek. The start is usually made from either the Congress Hall or Stockton Hotel and an hour's drive brings them to the country resorts, where thev cenerally enjovamelon lunch, which Is generally washed down by something stronger than water and a little more costly. These moonlight evenings are delightful for sailing on the sound, the old resort for fishing and crabbing, which has beeii sailed over by yachts bearing statesmen, who were Sowers before the Rebellion, and suoe then y tw o Presidents, Ulvsses 8 Grant and Benjamin Harrison. The parties for these sails are made up of from 13 to IB persons. who usually start out between S and 9 in the evening, taking with them a lunoh ap propriate to the occasion and return to their homes Just a little after midnight. The course of the sail is usually fiom Schel lenger's Landing down tho croeks to the inlet opposiw SewcU's Point, and then through the sound, returning over the course on which they sailed to the place of starting. Speaking of prominent visitors, it is a faot that Sir Henry Hudson was one of the first men to see Capo May. The bold navLrator in 1109 set out from Amsterdam in tho slcop Silver Half Moon on his third voyage to find uuimnvo jjuroupv cu auwu -w Bt. noith until the icebergs drove him to turn the prow of the ship to the south.

In 1623 the same com pany whioh equipped Hudson's patty sent out Cornelius Jacobson Mey, who entered the Delaware Bay, aud being highly de lighted with Its position named it in honor of himself Cape Mey. Borne of the Prominent Visitors. Secretary Charles Foster, of the Treasury, arrived Thursday noon for a w eek's visit. Whde his visit is for rest, he will also con sider, with the President, several matters important to tho financial interests of the country. Deacon S. V.

Y., July 25 Cassadaga Lata is the Mecca of Spiritualism for a large por tion of tho United States, and its votaries gather here every summer as naturally as the faithiul Moslem turns his face toward Mahomet's birthplace. The Spiritualist comes here for rest, recreation and the privilege of associating with those of kin dred religious tastes, sympathies and opin ions. Any decent man. Christian, pagan or Moslem, Jew or Greek, agnostic, atheist or Deist, is welcome to a seat in Cassadaga's auditorium, where he may listen to tho ser mons without money and without price, and if either the spirit or the flesh moves him to contradict what the speaker has said, he may freely do so at the ponl only of being impaled on the sharp tongue of some keen brother or sister. The world may bo divided into three great classes: SDintualists, Materialists ana Ag nosticsthose who believ e in a spiritual ex istence as beparate from the material; those who behove that everything is matter or some modification of matter, and those who profess neither to believe nor disbelieve either of the two thoorios. A great majority of the earth's inhabitants are Spiritualists in this general tense, and have a belief more or less distinct In a life to come. All Evangelical Churoh followers bolicvo In a future life, but ttiey think no donizen of that spirit land is ever pormitted to coma back to earth to hold oonvorsei that between thorn and us is fixed a great gulf that can be crossed only from the hither Bide, and that our bellel in a life beyond must be founded entirely on faith that ooraos from the light of revelation and the influenoe of the noly 8plrit. Bpirltuali3ts,in the limited sense, may be described as those whobelieve thatoertain mental and physi cal phenomena are tho result of the aotion ofsnlrlts ouerating through persons of & peculiarly sensitive organization, called mediums, who believe that they have evi dence as tangible,and convincing of tho ex istence of their friends in the spirit world as they have of the existence of their distant friends in this world with whom they are in constant communication. This sort of Spiritualists are meeting here and no sentinel stands at tho door of their fold to ask those who would enter, how they feel or what they believe. All are welcome. Cassadaga Lake is a pretty little body of water, orrathera chain of three little lakes connected by channels, situated in Chautau qua county, N. Y less than 20 miles from Jamestown, eight miles from Lake Erie and twice as far from the famous Methodist Lake Chautauqua. The organization having head- uarters hero is known as the Cassadaga ake Free Association, of which Hon. A. Gaston, Mayor of the city of Meadvllle, ia President. The postoffioe for the Assembly isLilv Dale, while Cassadaga is a little town and postofSce at the low er end of the lake. The Assembly grounds are in a beautiful grov e, regularly laid out on the streets of which nre now erected 175 cottages, all of which aroocoupied through tho summer, and about 25 of which tho owneis now occupy the whole year. The sessions of the Assembly began this v eur yesterday and vill close September L Prominent speakers will occupy the rostrum every day during the encampment. The auditorium has a seating capacity of fOO, and is built on a natural slope so that while tho rear spats are 8 or S feet higher than tlioKo lu front, tho entrances are all on tho ground. Mediums of all kinds are on the grounds ready to act as middlemen between spirits that are in tho flesh and those out of It. They work on tho principle of "no cure no pay," and if they fail to leceivo a communi cation for tho client, their efforts cost them nothinir. If successful in wooing the smrits. tho usual chaige is $2 with utiegird to the length of tho message. If the jirice of a message were in proi ortion to its length, some of thorn would come high; for some of the alleged disembodied spirits, like many of those mcarnato, seem to desire to talk as long as there is a chance. Some startling phenomena are expected by tho Spiritualists now hero. BEDF0ED AT ITS BEST. Never Were Such Dellghtfnl Accommoda tions Offered Pittsburgers There. Tf PECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DI6PATCH. Bedford, July 25. The revelation of the outing season to pilgrims this year is Bed ford. No plaoe had a more distinct individ uality in tho past than this old resort. Not merely to the older generation, whioh went there for the waters, for political reminis cences, or familiar companionship, or through force of habit, but to thousands who had never been there before Bedford was fixed in its aspect. The mind's eye pictured easily the narrow valley nestling deep In the mountains, the wooded hillsides that hem It in, tho rambling "Crockford" quarters, whore for many years State and national celebrities sat and gossiped by the hour. Everj body knew or heard of the Old Bedford. Tnero was no pretense about it of luxurious living for the guests. There were traditions of corncob couches In the dim past and memories of mutton as the chief Horn of faro. If tho stranger within the gates did not Uke it, he was promptly told to go his way. But even then Bedford was a delightful place to those who loved scenery or a com plete rest. The trip from Huntingdon dis closed a panorama of winding river, wooded hillside and shaded valley in its way unsur passed aay where, rivaling in beauty, if nol quite rcaohing the grandeur, of many of the famed views of Switzeiland. At the springs were also found delightful people much giv en to sociability, little to ostentatious display. The delightful social features of Bedford are as noticeable this year as ever, w bile thero are many grateful changes in material things. "Crockford," which shut out tho valloy looking toward Cumberland, hasbeen removed,and in its place stretchesa rare vista of green swath and woodland, rimmed in tho distance by blue mountains these usually ov orhung in turn by the bluest of skies The Springs Hotel has been trans formed into a most attractiv e architectural mosaic by the addition of a new building, which now lengthens the front to a total of 00 feet Broadened walks, neatly trimmed trees and a general air ot sprightly attrac tiveness invests tho place. There are ac commodations for 100 guests. Pittsburgers Responsible for It This change, which amounts to a trans formation, began four years ago, when a syndicate of Pittsburgers bought the place with 1 700 acre1, of adjoining mountain and valley, from the Anderson heirs, but the vigor of tho present management only fully developed when the ownership concentrated into fewer hands, with Mr. L. B. Doty in charge. It is a mere statement of fact to say that thero is no bettor managed summer resor: in the country than Bedford Springs now is. The table is particularly good The details of servloo show that the manage ment Is very much in earnest and likeiy to make Bedford Springs one of the gieat re sorts of the country. The season so fur is very suocessfuk The number of guests to far registered no to July 20, is greater this year than any before. Manager Doty announces also many engage mentsahead. The people who pass Julvand early August at tho seaside stop at Bedford for the water on the way home. Drinking tho water and walking on the shady mountain paths, takes up the fore noon. At 11 Toerge's Band nlays from the lawn to the porches lull of listening guests. In the afternoon there is driving; in tha evening, dancing by the young, and conver sation and card-playing by the old and middle aged. One lady now at tbe Springs has been coming from Pittsburg to Bedford for 69 years others for 40, s0 or 20 years as may be. Many nover miss a season. What the South Penn Would Do, Baltimore sends a greater number of guests this year than usual, Philadelphia next, and Pittsburg next. Had the South Penn road been finished Pittsburg would have been one halt nearer to Bedford than it is by the present Pennsylvania route. It is but 3 miles by pike, yet 205 miles have to be traveled by the circuitous route in use. There are a number of professional people at Bedford this year as usual The Gov ernor of Pennsylvania and the Governor of Maryland are both here this weok with their families. The Orphans' Court of Allogheny county, adjourned from this plaoo early in the week, Judge Over going to the seaside. Judge Hawkins to Pittsburg both with leluotance.

Each member of the club writes her autograph upon the tahleclotht be longing to the other members and it is then worked in silk andforms a pleasant and lasting memento of the social inter- course enjoyed by those whose busy flngeTS have been engaged in such willing work. Mrs. Q. R. Wigton, of Philadelphia, who is & most accomplished vocalist and a mem ber of the fashionablo "Treble Clef" Club, of Philadelphia, has been giving much en joyment to the guests by her artistic singing.

Havoo of the Waves at Asbuiy Parle Pittsburg People There. fSPECIAI, TELLQEAM TO TIIK DISPATCn.l Asburt Paiut, July 25 Unfortunately for the devotoes of salt-water bathing, tho beach at this resort this year is not in the best con dition. The sea keeps tearing it up, and steadily encroaches on the land. In fact, this is the case all along New Jersey's low coast. The beach promenade in Ocean Grove will undoubtedly become the pioy of Neptune during the heavy tides of the "Har vest Moon," In August. Soveral times all eady this summer tho authorities have been obliged to close up a part of the prome nade b.b unsafe. In Asbury Park and Ooean Grove no liquors can be legally sold without the prescription of a local physioian in good standing; still the drugstores are numerous and very pros- ?erous. Just now theio ia a great stir about he effort Founder Bradley and the Law and Order League are making to restrain the de livery of beer and other alcoholic beverages in Asbury Park. There is a llstof the names of those who receive "wet goods" from the delivery of wagons; and threats of publish-ing-themnre made lhe beer peddlers are restrained from delivering anything within tbe Park limits without a written order from the customer. Tho local Justices of the peace and Juries are maintaining that such orders must also be sent out of the place by another than an employe of the dealer. Oral orders or writton orders handed to the drivers of the delivery wagons have been held illegal and punished under the statute authorizing a fine of $50 for each offenso. There is a move ment hero now in favor of high license though such a 6tep would result in some re markable complications especially in real estate transactions and the i elation the mat ter would assume to the law forbiddimr the sale of alcoholic beverages within a mile of the Ocean Grove limits. Flint and Green Glass Men. The annual meeting of the American Asso ciation of flint and green glass manufactur ers was held on Wednesday in Asbury Park.

CHAUTATTQrA, July 25 Tho days of tho summer schools for this season are most over, and tbe regular Assembly will soon be in full blast. It was in view of this fact that Colonel Parker's Normal School classes were photographed Thursday in front of the Teachers' Retreat. There was a gay party of over SOO from nearly every, Statointho Union. The school teacher is one of tho interest ing features of Chautauqua. She i3 never dull, always full of fun, and once in a while can "down" tho summer girl in an artistio flirtation. The averago Chautauqua sohoolma'am is a very prepossessing person, having a good academic education, and penerallv bent on hard study. She takes up some half dozen branches, works like a beaver during July, and when August comes sho is an expert at teaching the three R's. But the month of August is generally given up here to publio lectures, reoltals, outings, sports, etc., so that the aforesaid school teacher rests from her scholastic labors, and keops a sharp lookout for masculine hearts of a susceptible natmo. When the great crowds coma, it is not a hard task for the maiden to find hor affinity" among the opposite box. Where French Is Taught. Avery entertaining and uniquo spot at Chautauqua is the Sandford cottage on Simpson avenue, better known as tha "Farloz-Vous Cottage." Here the French language flourishes, or tries! to flourish. Everybody who sits at the table is required to express himself in French, and it is some thing picturesque to near tne young dis ciples of Mllo. de Lagnean conv orse. Of course, thoy are beginners, and, of course, tho speech is not pronounced "trippingly on the tongue," nor is it in tho bebt academio style. The head of tho table starts oil some, what arter the order of the old stylo child's primer, "Do we go up? Wo do go up," only the sentences are varied a trifle. A short story is taken by tho teacher, dis sected into sentences and each seutenoo put on a cara. Alien me youn puriez-vous and lonesome and wanted to hear his ovn language flourish in its beauty like the green bay tree. He Intended to stay foi a month, but changed his mind alter the first meal at the table. He said he could actually fall down and worship with impunity the French that was spoken and keop within the Docalogue, for it was unlike any speech in heaven above, in the earth beneath or in the waters under the eaith. Ho thought that there was a tinge of Delsarte in the lartcrnar-n as s-noken there, and on lnaulrv Jearnedthat the young ladies gave a Del-J, sarte twist to their tongues In speaking; and hence his unbounded admiration for it. The Ubiquitous Vug Dog. Pug dogs are here. They go to the meet ings and try to get under everybody's feet; and if they succeed usually set up a howl. They are present at the women's confer ences, and, in faot, are not afraid of women's clubs at all. The "find" of the two big skel etons down near Lakowood Thursday has set everybody to speculating as to what nationality they belong. The theories ad vanced as to their origin range from Cork Harbor to Finland. Some so-called "author ities" believe that the "giants" belong to tha mlocene period in tho geological eons of time, while others say they are the bones of two Mound Builders. The real truth will probably never be known. An enterprising newspaper correspondent has secured a skull and two cross bones, and proposes to decorate his "sanotum" with them. Thus will the white skulls do duty as the emblems of the "White Caps." Quite a crusade has been started hero in tho lino of dress reform. The ball was set rolling Friday morning by the Women's Conference, when Mrs. Colonel Parker, of Chicago, proceeded to givo a plain talk to tbe big audience of ladles present. She de nounced high heels, tight shoes, garters, stays in fact, everything that tended to injure a woman's figure or health in the least. The audience indorsed her views, and now it remains to be seen what tho out come will bo. The dividd skirt has con verted Chautauqua, and if these other arti cles are tabooed the girls will certainly be come quite classic at least in dross. A Romance of Chautauqua. There ia a bit of romance at Chautauqua which has j ust leaked out. The programme announced that Miss MayDonnally, of Chi cago, would favor Chautauquans with two entertainments in the way of readings and reoitations. Mis3 Donnally ij most gifted, having received her traimnir under tha cclebiated actor, James E. Murdoch. Sue is well educated, having taught French and the DoUarto system in the Ohio State Unl vei sily some years ago. Later she was con nected with the Chicago Conservatory. When Miss Donnally reached here not a fow manly hearts palpitated quite lively in the expectation of showing her around. Then it wa3 that tho fact leaked out that Miss Donnally was eligible to the title of "Mis ," and that she had been very quietly mairied at Cinoinnati only a fevr days before hero arrival here. Her husband is the bright and talented pianist of Chau tauqua. Mr. Sherwood's assistant, II. A. Kelso, Jr. The pianist and elocutionist had met each other in Chicago, loved each other at Chautauqua, married each other at Cin cinnati, and had come back to tbe scene of their "courting days" to colebrate their honeymoon. Of course, the "boj a" who ex pected to entertain Miss Donnally rejoice in this happv denouement, but, nevertheless, feel like the boy that fell out of the balloon they are not "in it." The Reign of Hash. Mrs. Ewing's lecture on "Hash" hag brought out a long line oi summer poeta on that article. One poem, set to the tune of "Homo, Sweet Home," runs liko this: While beefsteak and venison oostg lots of cash. Be it ever so griatly, there's nothing like hash. Tho sciapings and leavings, of no use else where, When mixed altogether makes excellent tare. Chorus Hash, hash, good Meat hash, etc. Even conundrums do not escape, nere is the latest: Where do the animal and veg etable kingdoms unite? The answer is. in hash. But there are plenty of boarding houses here wheie there aie three kingdoms represented In this "most scientific dish," as Mrs. Ewing calls it. The mineral king dom often shows in the form of a nail or tack, and tho man who eats hash at Chau tauqua is thrice blessed, for these three kingdoms often find their way inside of him.

Dauas, Tex., 23. At 13:40 this morn ing a very destructive fire broke out In J. B. Cowon'i wholesale liquor house opposite the Windsor Hotol, wherein were stored, it is estimated, about 700 barrels of whisky. Three men at the "Windsor bar beard what they supposed to be a pistol shot, and rush ing out found smoke issuing from the roof of the liquor house. A dense cloud of black smoke soon hung over the building, while the explosions of barrels were becoming more frequent. A few minutes later flames burst through the roof, and at the same time thev seemed to fill the inside of the building. So bright was tho fire now that it illuminated the street with the splendor of day. From tho liquor houss the flames spread into tha large two-story brick building adjoining it on the wait and occupied as the storeroom of the Marvel Carver cotton gins by B. I". "Wolfe & Co., and to the two-story brick building on tha east, the pound floor of which was occupied by the Teias Storage Company, and containing a large quantity of desks and furniture, while the upper story was partly occupied by the Benbroeck School Furnishing Company, with a supply of desks, school apparatus, etc From this building the flame jumped across the vacant lot separating it from the Opera House, the roof of which caught fire, observing which the fire companies directed two streams of water there and saved the building. The cast rear wall of the last building collapsed, and a great tongue of flame shot over to the Opera House, and in a few mo ments the center of the wall of that build ing was ablaze. For a short while it ap- eared again that the Opera House was oomed, but the firemen, in the face of blinding smoke and appalling heat, steadily advanced until a suitable position was gained, and a well-directed stream put out the Opera House blaze. Barrels of liquor continued to explode with loud reports as the building crumbled away. At each report the crowd would surge back. At one time serious fears were entertained for tha safety of the "Windsor Hotel. Constantly fed by the flowing liqnor, the flames Increased in volume to such an extent that they almost overleaped the intervening space, but not far enough to lick the eaves of the hotel. The total loss will foot up to 5290,000; total insurance, $200,000. A GEEAT EACE ABEAKGED. Tcnny and Longstreet to Mext Wednesday Kext for a Big Purse. rSPECIAI. TZLXOBAU TO TUB DISrATCH.

"When told, that that stipulation was not in corporated in the article signed by both, Mr. Dwyer said that it was an error that it was not, and added: "I know that Longstreet cannot run in mud. It would be folly to match him against a horse of Tenny's caliber in heavy going, as Tenny is one of the best mudnorses in the country."
