THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 1891.
Tho continued cool weather has teen a
double satisfaction to the stay-at-home. He
has been comfortable and lie haB saved tbo
money bis brothers at the summer resorts
has been spending. Still there is a general
Tim of probpority naming through the re
ports from the various outing places and
they mate very interesting reading for both
those at home and those away.
AIXAKHC CITY IS HAPFY.
She 'Weather Is Propitious and tho Hotels
Are roll of People.
rsrECUi TTIXSUAJI TO THE DISPATCH.1
Atlastio Crrr, Aug. 1. The flood tide of
arrivals has set in strongly, and the City-by-
tho-Sea is rapidly
Suing up with a
great swarm of
pleasure seekers
from every part of
the country, with
Pittsburg a good
second in the num
ber hero. The late
anxious discussion
touching the
chances for a pros
perous season has
been abandoned by
the busy bonifaces
whose every mo
ment is consumed
in looking after the
needs of their guests. Perhaps the early
summer months fell below general anticipa
tion, but thero is no use crying over spilt
milk, particularly as there is every indica
tion that the future will amply atone for the
past. Kot for many years has the rainfall
been so large at Atlantio City, and to this
fact alone is due any shortcomings in the
record, and now that the weather has inti
mated its willingness to let up for a while
there remains no obstacle in tho path of the
Island's prosperity.
At present many of tho larger hotels are
filled to overflowing, and, what is even bet
ter, arc booked until the middle of Septem
ber. This means that the season will be a
long one. At the smaller hotels and cot
tages tho colony ot guests is proportionately
assuring, so there is no immediate cause for
alarm.
bettec rcsnrxG or late.
A factor that will have an Important in-
licence in bringing about an increase In the
number of visitors is the marked improve-.
ment in fishing, which came during tho cur
rent week. Until then the sport had been
somewhat backward. Cool weather and a
continuance ofnorthers kept the fish in
southern w atcrs, from which they could not
be tempted. On this account there was but
little fishing In these waters. It is true that
the despairing captains of fishing yachts
sought to inveigle prospective patrons with
glowing accounts of tremendous schools of
finnv beauties only waiting to be hooked, but
that" is an old tale of the local salts, and one
against which guileless visitors should be
warned. Until this week the proverbial
fisnerman's luck has pro ailed.
-At present the sport could not be more ex
citing. The other day 37 yachts, loaded ti ith
enthusiastic anglers, v ere counted in one
gioun, and the lines swished through the
water a: a lnelv rate as the sramy victims
were draej;ed into the boats. That evening
over fi e tons of bis drumfish were piled
on the wharf at the Inlet, renreaenting the
catch of tho fishing fleet. If you have never
caught an adult drumfish j on don't know
what a thrilling combination of sport and
hard labor the operation comprises. There
I but one tiling that will tempt Matthew S.
Quay to pay a visit to his old haunts at Brig
untmc Beach, just across the Inlet, and that
1 tho nev s that the drumfish are biting. An
60-pound ash, and drum frequently tip the
beam at the 100 mark, struggling and fight
ing at tho end of an ordinary line precip
itates a battle not to be despised By the
most muscular of sportsmen. There is no
uncertain nibbling at the uook:when a drum
strikes he tai.es hold to stay and
thero is work ahead for the fortunate
angler. A man might be able to lasso a loco
motive and still be vanquished in a setto
with a big drum. It is work, but when the
huge prey is landed there is a resultant sat
isfaction that repays the exhausted victor
for his long and bitter fight. Theretore,drum
fishing is one of the most popular sports of
the place.
SHS WEAETISH AKE COMTSO.
For those who preferlesshiboriousangllng
thero Is plenty of diversion in taking weak
fieh, which are also unusually plentiful at the
present time. To get them it is not necessary
to go outside into rough water, and for this
reason the species is popular with the visit
ors who are subject to attacks of seasick
ness. The bhallow and placid waters of the
Thorougufare are well stocked with weak
fish, and are much frequented by the milder
cnthus.as:s. The tmull weakfish began to
como into the Tfaoioughfare this week, and
great numbers were caught.
One visitor succeeded in catching M weak
fish on flood tide the other day. Tnis is con
sidered a big luul in face of the wholesale
depredations of the net pirates, against
whom the visitors are beginning to com
plain. It these marauders had their way
there would not be a hbh taken by hook in
the Thoroughfare. Tueir wholesale pilrer
iur; is injurious to the fishing, and, although
there is a State Fish Waiden appointed to
keep an eye open to prevent the stretching
of nets, the practice is resorted to openly.
Hardly a day goes by that is not marked
by the rescue from drov. ning of one or more
incautious bathers who, overestimating
their swimming prowess, v enture out so far
that they are unabie to return without as
sistance. Thanks to the vigilance of tho
volunteer lifeguards there have as
vet been no fatalities this season,
but tho bathers are daily growing
more careless, and it is probable that
the beach will befoio long be the scene of
tome bad acoident caused by recklessness.
It is proven bj statistics that moro people
aro rescued every year by any two of the
Atlantic City iilo guards than by the whole
Government lifc-saviug service along tho
coast In llvo years, and yet these preservers
of hum-in life are compelled to depend for
support on voluntary contributions which
are notoriously meagi e and on the scanty
wacos received from proprietors of bath
houses. Last week's donations to tbo con
tribution boxes of these guards footed up to
exactly 31 cents.
THE MIDCri MEESIAID.
Among the thousands of regular bathers
the honors for fearlessness in the surf are
borne off by a 3-year-old baby, the child of a
prominent Xew York actress. When ar
rayed in a bathing suit the tiny tot presents
an Interesting spectacle, and on account of
her infatuation lor the water has been
dubbed the "Midget Mermaid." A large
crowd of spectators collects every morning
to watch tho baby bather go in the surl.
When released on the beach by her nurse
she makes a dash for tho water Into which
she goes bravely ahead until knocked end
wise by a big breaker, which sends ber roll
ing bead over heels up on tho strand. Noth
ing daunted she makes a second assault on
the billows, and occasionally succeeds in
going out to such a depth that she has to be
rescued" by Jack Williams, the lifeguard,
who patrols the spot. The "Midget Mer
maid" has taken a great liking to Will
lams, and every day he swims with
her far out to sea, holding the
belt of ber little blouse between bis teeth.
During the Journey she 6omotimes grabs him
by the hair, wulcli means that bo is to dive
under tho water with her. She comes up
dripping like a dronncdratandas happy as
a pund-pipcr. There is not one woman out
of ten who is brave enough to put her head
undor the water while bathing; and the
"midget mermaid" is regarded as 6omewhat
of a phenomenon.
The agitation of tho bathing suit question,
which has agitated tho very foundations of
Ocean Grove nnd Asbury Park, has not dis
turbed Atlantic City, nor is there any proba
bility that it will do so. One humorous Indi
vidual created a ripple tho other day by ap
pearing on the -beach in a novel costume.
which was announocd by a large placard on
his back to be tbo "Ocean Grove style." It
was sufficiently voluminous to accommodate
within its amplo folds six people of averago
size. It hung in long folds from his
firms and feet, while several barrel
hoops worn about his waist beneath ,the
blouse served to innate the Indicrous gar
ment. The appearance of a costume like
this on the beach at Asbury Park or almost
any other watering place would have
brought the entire police force down on the
daring Joker.
AITT BATHING SUIT WILL go.
Here, these little affairs are managed dif
ferently. Knowing the temper of tho crowd
the minions of the law did not interfere.
When tho beach habitues wearied of the
Jester's grotesque antics they swooped down
upon him, carried him out into the surf and
ducked him until he was glad enough to cry
quits. The bathing suits worn by the fair
bathers at this resort are often startling, but
rarely immodest. Sleeveless suits are so
common as to attraot little or no notice. If
r. girl took into her head to abandon stock
ings, as some have done already, she could
do it without being made uncomfortable by
unfavorable comments.
The social event of tho season was a grand
charity ball given last night at the united
States Hotel in aid of the Children's Sea
shore Home and the Mercer Memorial Home
for Invalid Women. Mrs. Francis Howard
Williams headed the Committee on Ar
rangements, which was composed of many
well known leaders of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg society.
Tho old famUiar cry, "YThere ere tho
voune men?" uttered bv deSDairing matrons
with marriageable daughters, is heard louder
and more plaintively tnan evi
or. Jever De-
lore
has the situation been m
more desperate
than at the present time.

have beenmany.and
if they have nil been
ijj on political business.
W Secretary Foster and
United States Sena
tor Plumb.of Kansas,
were callers last
week and were
guests of the Pres
ident at his cottage. Early this week ex
Senator Warner Miller, of Nicaragua Canal
fame arrived at tho cottage and remained
one evening closeted with the President.
The result of his visit was the appointment
of ex-State Senator J. Sloat Fassett, of New
York, as Collector of Customs Sot tho port of
New Tork, in place of Collector Erhardt.
Mr. Fassett was to have been at Cape May
to-day. Secretary Tracy, of the Navy

with the President nearlv a whole
day. Tuesday General John W. Foster, ex
Minister to Bussia, to Spain, to Mexico, and

Crldler. head of the J)iplomatio Bureau of

Important business, and others which have
only business which concerns themselves.
' THE PRESIDENT EST THE BURP.
The favorite pastime of tho Presidents!
household and visitors Is surf bathing.
They are in the water every noon. The
whole Prcsldcntal family bathes except
Mrs. Harrison, who does not oare for bath
ing. The President is beginning to be an
excellent swimmer, but is not at all ventur
ous, and does not go out beyond the
usual depth. Ka always stays with
the crowd. The charming niece, Mrs.
Dlmmlck is one of the most daring bathers
from the Presidentnl cottage. Sho goes way

out beyond her depth, but so far this season
has not experienced the danger of drowning
which It will be remembered sho had last
season, while floating on a raft in the waves,
which carried her out, and then oleverly
turned her oil Into the water without warn
ing. She can swim and float. Llge Halford
is fond of swimming, and is gottlng along
well at the art. At first be did not take to
it, and was here over a week before he could
be inducod to bathe. He was finally per
suaded to go In by the persistency of the
newspaper men, with whom he has beoome
a decided favorite, and now thanks them for
their ooaxing. He is feeling the excellent
results of sea bathing-, and is gaining flesh
and pioking up In health rapidly.
The prettiest lady in a bathing suit is
Miss Alice B. Sanger, the President's sten
ographer. She wears a neat blue bathing
suit with white trimmings, and is envied by
manv of tho belles at the Cape. Miss Sanger
cannoat nicely, and is an excellent swim
mer, one aoes an tne latest incits in mo
water, and is a perfectly bewitching mer
maid. The President's suit Is all fixed up
with patents, mostly presents fiom various
firms, to advertise their goods, and thev are
used with comfort to the President. When
he comes out of tho water he has a little
tube by which ho blows all the water out of
his suit, and before he gets to the bath
house tho dripping water Is off of his
clothes. He never bathes without his grand
son, Benjamin, and pays much attention to
him.
LIGE FRATERNIZED WITH REPORTERS.

early summor with la grippe, and came here
to Tt ear off the bad effect. He Is now per
fectly well, and went to Baltimore much
happier than when he came.

Tho death of little Martha Frick has cast
a gloom over most of the cottages; she was a
very sweet little girl, only about 6 years of
age. Although her death has been expected
by many, thoy were still in hopes of her re
covery. Sho was brought here for change
of air, but even Cresson air. pure as It is, was
of no avail. Dr. Helmuth, of Ne w York, was
called this week, but even his skill failed to
restore the little sufferer. Mr. and Mrs.
Fnck were in receipt of a large number of
condoling telegrams from sympathizing
friends in an almost lncreditably snort timo
after the death.
The children's entertainment of tableaux
vivantes, which was to have taken place to
day, was postponed on account of her death,
and owing to Mrs. Painter having been
called awaVi it may have to bo given up.
This is a great disappointment to tho little
IB 3r
folks and theirelders as well, for a very fine
protrramme had been arranged. The most
prominent pictures were to have been scenes
irom tho story of "Sleeping Beauty" and
from tho life of Qncon Elizabeth. "Little
Lord Fauntlcroy" was also to have graced
the entertainment by his presence.
Mr. A. Israel, one of Pittsburg's most
prominent lawyers, visited his family here
over Sunday. His little daughter Marguerite
Is considered one of the brightest as well as
the prettiest of children here. In faot she
and little Helen Frick are about equal rivals
In popularity among the Pittsburgers at
least.
S0WK THE ST. LAWBEXCZ,
A Fittsburger's Experience in a TripUp to
the Northland.
tCOaKESFOJTDESCE 07 TBZ DISrATCIt.J
Montreal, Aug. 1. A thing to be oom
mended to all in eearoh of rest, health, pleas
ure and beautiful scenery is a trip down the
St. Lawrence. Leav
ing Pittsburg In the
morning by the
picturesque Alle
gheny Valley Ball
road, there was
nothing to mar the
beauty of the scen
ery, the only draw
back to tho com
plete satisfaction of
the trip being th
greasy, ill-washed
dishes on which our
dinner was served
at Oil City, and the
grimy complexions
with which we ar
rived at Niagara.-
Tho beautiful scenery of the Alleghenyls
too familiar to the travel-loving Plttsburger
to need any comment; and the same may be
said of Niagara, except that it is ever new
with every ohange of sunlight or shadow,
and always sublime. As we stand nearly on
a level with the Whirlpool Eaplds, watching
the wild foam leaping into tho air as if it
would fly into spaoe, then curving over to
fall back to its source, we think of the littlo
poem:
Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world.
With the wonderful ater around joti carted,
And the wonderful grass upon your breast.
World, you are beautifully dresbed.
In our drive on the Canada side, next to
the magnificent view from Falls View Point,
tho thing that most Impressed us was the
enterprise of our fellow townsmen, whose
names were advertised on the fences, where
we read "Happoll's muslclal (please note the
spelling) instruments, Pittsburg, Pa., U. S.
A.," and "B. L. H. Dabbs, Artistio Photo
grapher," (same address), but tho latter
sign was inverted, making us feel like re
senting the disrespectful treatment of our
city. In the graveyard at Lundy's Lane of
historic fame we found the following inscrip
tion: SAIXT AX2T,
Wife of Jomei S. Abber.
Di el Jan. z, is 5. Aged 30 years,
Fricudi stand weeping all around
Ana lotu to let ner go.
She shouts with her expiring breath.
And leaves thim all below.
We find ourselves very loath togo when it
comes to leaving the Cataract House, with
Its scrupulous cleanliness, delightful cuisine,
polito waiters and attentive clerk, Mr. Mur
ray Clark, who accompanied us to Lewis
ton because we wore Pittsburgers, and
showed us many other unexpected atten
tions. Apropos of the ubiquitous bride and
groom of this section, the conductor of tho
Lewlston train told us of a man handing him
a few days before his marriage certificate in
mistake for a letter of introduction.
Across Lake Ontario by the Abola, we
readied Toronto In time for luncheon at
"Tho Queens," which impresses us as the
most English place we have overseen, In
spite of tho fact that Toronto is consid
ered the least English of Canadian cities.
The majority of the colored waiters look
superannuated, and shuffle slowly around
tho dining room as if their ieet were too
heavy for their aged limbs. Some of tbem
have been at the Queens for 80 years, whioh
Is certalniy creditable to somebody, but a
little youthful energy Infused generally,
would promote tho happiness and comfort
of the Yaukeo tourist.
Through the courtesy and hospitality of
one of Toronto's influential citizens, we
were driven through the interesting parts
of the city and suburbs, and finally to his
fine, old-lashioned residence, surrounded by
a high, brick wall, within whioh in the
beautiful garden, the roses were bloom
ing luxuriantly. Modern luxury in the
house, combined with the antique, our
queenly looking hostess dressed In white
silk and nett, with corsage trimmed In gold
passementerie, the vine-covered porch on
which we sat drinking claret-lemonade, the
antics of "Mac," the wonderfully trained
cocker-spaniel, have all left a romantlo
picture in our memories, whioh will not
soon be forgotten.
PLENTY OF GOOD FISHING.
Asbury Park Visitors Having a GoodTime
Both by Day and Night.
SPECIAL TELEOBA2I TO THE PISTATCHJ
Abbuet Pabe, Aug. L Brilliant ballroom
scones, gay lake carnivals, gorgeous pyro
technical displays and merry riding and
fishing parties have made this tho most
memorable week of the present season. The
whirl of gaiety began with arrival of thou
sands of young people a week ago. To
night the entire place is ablaze with light
and through the open windows and doors of
the numerous hotels are the flitting forms of
the dancers. The piazzas are filled with
men and women in evening attire covered
with precious stones. The town's gay night
has drawn thousands from the precincts of
staid Ocean Grove, across the lake, while
hundreds more line the shore, or occupy
moie elevated places where the festivity
of the more worldly Asbury Park sojourn
ers can be watched and commented upon.
Dancing, flirting, singing, fill the nights.
Fishing, only tho day. Never did fishermen
havo better success than here this summer.
Two long piers, devotod to fishing only, now
reach out yards Into the sea from both the
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove beaches.
Except the hours from midnight to 8 or i
o'clock In tho morning these piers are nevor
deserted day or night. Some of the largest
catches have been made hero at night. The
heaviest bass of tho season, caught with
hook and line, was taken Wednesday night
by C. Harry Showaker, of Philadelphia. It
weighed I2JJ pounds. This is one and one
fouith pounds heavier than the catch that
tooit tno goiu ineuai in io-ju. At is rutiier
doubtful if this heavy beauty will be soon
surpassed for line and reel can hardly
manneoa creaturo of greater weight and
equal activity. None but fishermen of
varied experience can reasonably hope to
hind a fish of even half that weight from the
high piers.

tumn. When the great natural beauties of
the neighborhood and tho splendid accom

hurry to leave this favored spot.
Never was suoh a galaxy of beautiful girls
at Bedford since the memory of "the oldest
Inhabitant." The daughters of Governors
Pattlson and Jaokson are charming every
one by their affable and gracious manners,

guests. Tho Hon. Thomas M. Marshall drove

CHATJTAUaUA'S SUMMKB-OIBL.
The Seashore Flirt Can't Be Compared
With Her.
rSrXCX&b TELBOEXM TO THE DISPATCH.
CaAOTAUQUA, Aug. L The college curricu
lum Is-now almost finished, and the Assem
bly season is at
hand. Henoe people
are pouring in every
day by scores to
hear the prominent
speakers on the
programme for Au
gust. Hamlet and
Horatio iave dis
cussed philosophy
long enough and
now Borneo and Ju

for Cupid generally
gets in his best
work in hot weath
er. Tho lake is the
best trysting place
for lovers. One
boat, two forms
tbaboccaslonaUy blend In the twilight, and
the greateventful tale of the "wooing o' it"
Is told. And so it follows that every young
man is on the tiptoe of expectation for what
the present month has in store for him. He
may become as wise as Solomon, as patleut
as Job. as meek as Moses, as Dooras Lazarus.
as fat as Falstan, or as lean as Casslus, from
his experience with the summer girl, for she
can eat more ice cream, drink more lemon
ade, devour more peanuts and make a fel
low's heart palpitate faster than can her
sisters by tho seashore.
The summer girl at Chautauqua is the
piece de resistance of the feminmo flirts.
She can fall in love, drop her beau, and take
np a new one sooner than most people can
say "Jack Hobison." But she's a "thing of
beauty" for all that. If the young man wins
his suit, he has certainly great reasons to be
proud of his laurels; for only about one out
of ten can make the best time on "the rail
road of love."
JTOUE BTVTJX3 07 DRESS.
The elder portion of the Chautauqua
ladies continue to discuss dress reform with
a vengeance, while the younger portion look
on and 'bide the deoislon. The ladies feel
that the present style of dressing is simply
barbarous, an 1 want some relief. But many
of them are not quite willing to go to the ex
treme length of the reforms advocated, and
wear the so-called "tights." They prefersome
improvement on the divided skirt, whioh
they regard as a trifle too roomy, while the
"tights" are not roomy enough. The girls
down at the gymnasium aro more than
pleased with the zouave outfit, which is all
wool, and five yards wide to each limb. If
this stylo of dress should come into popular
favor with the ladles, broadcloth would be
rather expensive. Imagino a man devoting
five yards of cloth to each wing of his trous
ers! ...
And so tne iour classes oi ureas advocates.
the cedars of Lebanon. Ofoourse, the male
portion of the assembly would like to see the
freat question settled at once and forever;
or these secret meetings of the ladles are
great things to excite a man's curiosity. In
deed, the ladles say that the men at Chau
tauqua are moro curious than the women,
and cite the lincldent that oocurred at one
of their recent meetings, when it was neoes
sary to eject several of the sterner sex who
were literally thirsting for the latest Intelli
gence on this most momentous question.
But bow can you bis me the men? When
these roformers would banish high collars,
high heels, all kinds of garters and corsets,
in fact, almost every article of women's
apparel that has been "fabled in song and
Illumined in story," what is thero left about
which romance and chivalry can cluster?
Imagine the women studying the pictures
and statues of Venus de Milo and Venus di
Medici with a view to compete with them in
form and figure. 6urely, such a state of
affairs would be sudden and strange, even to
a man who can "go it alone" with one button
or one suspender.
LEAB2TTKG TO COOK.
Mrs. Emma Ewing oontinues to preach the
gospel of "good grub." Her classes grow
bigger and bigger, and the interest in cook
ing continues unabated. The muse of Chau
tauqua has taken up the strain, ahd tho fol
lowing is tho latest effusion that has reached
earth. Ifrosembles the later efforts of Ten
nyson somewhat, and altho' there's jingle in
ji-II'gnTa,,
tho meter, and tho rhyme might be oomi
pleter, yet It couldn't be sweeten
"Tlilove." they say. ' that makes thij globe
Go round without confusion."
But Mrs. Ewlng says she's reached
A duTcreat conclusion.
Namely, that we are, all of ns.
Poor miserable sinners.
And will not help tho world go round.
Without delicious dinners.
And surely those of us who're blest
With husbands, and can lead them,
Know that tho key to our success.
Is In tho ti ay we feed them.
So take the hint, and, though you're sweet
And wise and pretty looking

Mrs. Mitchell Wants S100.00O Becauso-XTo
Called Her a Blackmailer.
SA3T JTbaxcisco, Aug. 1. ilrs. S3rab.
Mitchell has brought suit against Frederick
"W. Sharon for 5100,000 for slander. The
alleged slander consists in certain words
used in a published interview with Mr.
Sharon, in which he was quoted as saying
that he considered Mrs. Mitchell a "black
mailer pure and simple" for having tried to
obtain money from the Sharon estate for the
suppression of letters left by the late
Charles XV. Livingstone which relate to the
estate.
When Livingstone, who was formerly
manager of the Palace Hotel and of the
AUa California (newspaper), died, he left to
Mrs. Mitchell a box which was said to con
tain letters from Frank K. Hewlands and
Justice Stephen J. Field. It was reported
that Mrs. Mitchell demanded money from
Sharon for the suppression of the letters
which were said to contain damaging refer
ences to the Sharon estate. Mr. Sharon,
when interviewed, used the words already
quoted. Mrs. Mitchell says she has never
made an offer of the letters to anyone, and
that she will show the letters to no one
nntil the right time comes. She says there
is much in the letters of public interest
