The number of guests at the varlous-sum-mor
resorts has been steadily Increasing up
to the present time, but tills week may bo
Ea.d to bo tho greatest of tl.o season It Is
likely tint thogay pleasure seekers Trill look
homeward soon and a gradual filling off
mHy be expected, though frost Trill doubt
Jess And many still enjoying their outing.
In pito o: the rainy and cool -weather this
season the exodus to tho pleasure resorts
has be?" as great as ever and there can bo
no doubt that tho annual outing has come
to be a permanent American custom. 'While
the rp-orts do not seem as crowded this ear
as of old, it is because more accommodations
have been provided; and those who have In
vested m hotels at the reports have no
reason to contemplate tearing them down.
The American people will have their outing.

They wt re, indeed, good old times for tho
few hotelki epers as compared with the
wmv of to-dav ; but, taking everything into
consideration Atlmtio City is now more
prospcious than it ever was. If guests do
not have to sleep upon tho floor It is because
the hotels hn e incieasod in number until
there is room loi a lew hundred thousand
visitors, and accommodations to spare. Sev
eral weeks ago there was slight cause for
alarm, but it has vanished, and now there
are no in sgivmes as to the outcome ol tho
season. July was not as prosperous as it

Tho borough In v. hloh tho President live9
is a peculiar place and has peculiar people.
The place has been without government for
about two years, aud ouly last Tuesday,
after attempting to have three elections,
they decided by tho enormous vote of 20 to 8
to lemcoiporate. Tho officers of the bor
ough number 17 and tho Election Board, ap
pointed unilei tho State law, is composed of
six additional persons who cannot hold any
other ollice, w Inch makes the w hole number
of officers ii. In this case, after next Tues
day a week, w hen the election for officers
takes place, there will be but five piivato
citizens, and, ns there are as many colored
as white people that vote in the borough,
the probabilitj is that the officers are as apt
to be colored as whito.

usually large influx of guests this week and
tilings ore beginning to grow decidedly
livelier. There is a great deal of driving
being done, and several tallyho parties have
been given. Ono given by llttlo Lawrence
Perrin one day last week was highly en
joyed by all the llttlo folks in attendance.
Card-playing Is being revived with consider
able Interest here, and in tho evening nearly
all tho tables are in nse. Among the best
players aro Judge and Russel Houston, of
Louisville, Kv.; Prof, and Mrs. A. H. Gal
latin, of Xew York; Mr. Dunham and Colonel
Porter, who are engaged in games a great
part of the time. Tennis playing is left most
tojthe children. Tho grounds are turf, which
is not usually satisfactory to mature -nlayers.
Baseball is the item of Interest to the male
portion of tbe inhabitants.
Mrs. Xelson Perrin, of Baltimore, gave a
card party in her cottage one day last .week,
to which quite n number of tho hotel guests
and cottagers were Invited. It was very suc
cessful, being about the first social venture
attempted by tho "grown up" folks here.
Tho little tolks had their entertainment of
tableaux vivantes last week in tho hotel
parlors, and it was even a greater success
than their previous effort. Miss Armory
Hare, daughter of Dr. Hare, of Philadelphia,
was tho hello of the evening and appeared in
the first scene as Sleeping Eeavly, with Me
Claine Laughlln as irmce. Miss Fredreka
Leech enacted the witch's daugnter, posing
in a position taken from the w ell known
picture of that name. This entertainment
was simply perfect. The costumes were
beautifully artistic, tho motheis rivaling
each other in the beauty and richness of
their children's suites. Over $100 was raised,
which will certainly mean a season of re
joicing to mores than one poor little child in
a city tenement.
Among the newly arrived guests are
T. H. Hastings, Bellefonte, Pa, and
Henry II. Ron, Hazen Brown, Mrs.
W. J. Holland, two children and maid,

DELIGHTS OF THE ST, 1AWBENCE.
Sights Along the Itlver and the Points of
Interest in Montreal.
tCORRFSrONDENCE Or THE DISPATCn.J,
Movtueal, Aug. 0 If you are taking the
St. Lawience trip and time is nnj- considera
tion we do not advise
you to stop at Alex
andria Bay, forlf you
do nnd have any
lieai tat all for boat
ing or fishing you
will be sure to j leld
to the sirens who
whisper in your ear:
"Stay longer herol
Cut it somewhere
else!" And if you
area disciple of Izaac
Walton, don't let
'1 your hotel porter call
you at 5 o'clock in
the morning. Your
neighbors will bo
confident that tho fishing will bo bettor
after 7.
XearJ the middle of the forenoon wo
stepped into the "Whatever- ou say" and
w ere rowed eight miles before we found our
Izoac, who was one of the deluded kind men
tioned above. Comstock, our guide, claimed
to have taken Piesident Arthur In one
boat over the samo route, and was so enter
taining generally that wo were sonv when
we readied our destination, Larne Island
the largest, I bellevo, of tho Thousand
Islands. Our fisherman had splendid
luck and was correspondingly exhilarated,
even his nose blooming with Joy and the
sun. Our boatmen weieprimo cooks and wo
had pruned appetites, for never was a. dinner
more enjoyed than that tliey cooked lor its.
The steamer Corsican had brought us from
Toronto, and the oxtiemlv limited accom
modations had made us dread another boat
Tho mattresses had a ridge in the middl
that suggested lying on a gas pipe, and th
berths were so short aud narrow that large
people were objects of pity. A lady told us
that her husband that morning held up a
w hlto object, saying: "This is rather large
fora handkerchief. Can you tell what it
is?" "That is Intended for a sheet." Well
might we think of the Scriptures, "For tho
bed Is shorter than that a man can stretch
himself on It. The coveting is narrower
than that he can wrap himself in it."
SHOOTING THE KAPIDS.
The Passpoit, from Alexandria Bay to
Montreal, was a great improvement. At
Toronto wo had been much annojed by
staring men, and ono of our party suggested
as a reason that "perhaps wo looked queer."
Was it because wo looked queer that
Thomas Mossey, stewaid or baggage master
of the boat, immediately took us under his
wing and became our patron saint while on
bond? He certainly lecognized us at once
as Americans, for he let us know inside
of five minutes that he lavored annex
ation, and so fearful was he that wo should
miss seeing any of tho rapids that he hunted
us up on deck to sav that "dinner would ba
ready in 20 minutes sharp, aud if we vrere
down stalls so as to got in atonce, we should
get ont in time to see everything."
The apparent ease with which tho steamer
"shoots the rapids," taking away the sense
of danger, rather detracts from their im
pi essiv eness, and w c all experienced a sense
of disappointment, although tho treacher
ous rocks on either side weio plainly visible
at times, and four men wcio at the pilot
wheel and four nt the tiller, and the Captai 1
had stern" anxiety depicted on his
face. Tho Victoria bridge, with its '21
pieis and tho assurance that it is the
longest bridge 111 tho wotld, also failed
to Impress us as wo neaiod Montreal:
As Montreal Is pre-eminently a city of
chuiches, and sight-seeing was pre emlncnt
1) our object, we drov o the next morning
(Sunday) to Kotre Dame Cathedral. Wo
stood some time within the church waiting
the august pleasure of the beadle to take us
to a seat, and watched w ith curious eyes tho
men, vrho ou entering tho church spread a
handkeich.ef usually a colored one or a
piece of newspaper on the floor to protect
their one devout knee while at praj er.
A VEE-vr IMPOSING rERSOXAGE.
The Imposing looking beadle or usher of
Xotre Dame must not be overlooked (we
could not do it if we tried unless we stood
on an elevation, as he was an unusually tall
man) in our notice of stnking objects. Ho
was decked out in a scarlet vest and
deep scarlet collar, with gilt braid immeas
urable, and carried a long, gilt-knobbed
staff. Owing to tho rusty condition
of our French, wo aie hardly prepared to
pass judgment on the sermon, which was
closely read. The music was very fine, a
baritone soloist delighting ais especially.
This ohurch, with its two towers, is a strik
ing object when seen from any elevation,
thus giving one an idea of its really great
size, as it is said to hold 15,000 people. The
interior view is very impressive, especially
as wo saw it, with its vast congregation dur
ing tho celebration of high mass. We do
not know whether we heard the great bell
ofthe Cathedral, said to be one ot the five
laigest bolls in the world, for so many
chuich bells rang, and so often, that they
made a jinglo and Jumble of sound In which
no ono seemed pie omiuont.
On onr way back to tho Windsor, we
stopped in a number of churches, the ma
jority of which wore Roman Catholic. We
got into tho "Presbyterian Church of Scot
land" In time for the singing of tho last
hymn, "Pilgrims of theXight,"andthebene
diction, wliloh seemed very homelike. Wo
started out in tho afternoon on foot, while
tho paterfamilias of our party went to in
vestigate Montreal Sunday schools.
A DOUBLE rUNEEAL PBOCESSIOS.
Wo had gone but a short distance when wo
met a strange procession, a double funeral,
probably a mother and child. The cairiers
who preceded tho fl'st hearse wore long,
black streamers on their tall hats and on
their right arms. The horses drawing
the heurso wcra covered with
long, black trappings and from
the hearse which was surmounted
with crossos, angols, etc, long black stream
ers floated fiom every point. Then followed
a can-iage with six little boys, all decked
out in white trimmings and long streamors
like their elders. The white hearse, with its
white ornaments, crosses angels, streameis,
etc, had as ghostly an effeot as the first was
funereal. The llttlo coffin, so plainly visi
ble thiough tbe glass Bides, was of the old
fashioned tapered shape. One or two car
riage loads of women w ero followed by a
score or more of men on foot, all wearing
long black scat fs on their hats. A few moro
eairiagcs completed the slow moving pro
cession. A little further on, while waiting
for a horse car, w e w ere attracted by a very
unusual kind of music, and in a
moment a detachment of the 8alvation
Array stinted our eyes and ears in their
unique fashion. We started on a double
quick, hoping to oveitake thorn as they
were a block away, but onr gait wm

fatigue march compared to theirs, and they
were soon lost to sight and sound. As wo
rodo through tho streets we were again im
pressed with the number of handsome
churches. The remarkably fine, now
Methodist church hero is said to be tho
finest of that aenomination in the country.
We notice by the church dircctoiv that
there are 23 Presbyterian churches, the larg
est number of the Protestant denomination.
OUT TOR A HOLIDAY.
The drive np Royal Mountains is a very
enjoyable-one, nnd as we took it on St.
Peter and St. Paul's day we had an oppor
tunity of seeing many of the people enjoying
the holiday in families in plcnlo fashion. At
ttio summit we founda pavilion with various
Indian and other em iosities for sale, but the
far-renehing view In which the Adlrondacks
andBeloiel Mountain the noblo St. Law rence,
with the Lachine Rapids and tho great city
at our feet, were all parts ora beautiful pan
orama, absorbed all our thoughts.
On onr return our driver took us
through tho Catholic Cemetery, stopping at
the shrines placed at regular intervals, 1 op
resenting the stations of the ctoss. The
figures in colored bisqno, apparently, aro
under glass and very effective. Xot knowing
what wo were approaching, it was with
feelings of reverential awo that we
came in sight of this representation
of Calvary There on the hill
side stood three crosses, 20 feet in height,
the figures on them and of the two Marjs
standing at the baso, of life size. A group
of 1 oung people kneeling at prav er added to
tho impresslvenoss of the scene.
We have no ttmo left to tell of tho Gray
Xunnery which everybody visits, nor of our
pleasant impressions or tho model Windsor
Hotel. Wo left it with regret nnd hopes
that we might somo day again sojourn
within its hospitable walls. J. L. O.

the present season has up to date been the
most prosperous this popular resort has ev er
h id, and the air is simply teeming with con
gratulations to Manager and Mrs. Doty, who
have the cicdit lor this phenomenal suc
cess. When the intensely low temperature
that prevailed everywhere during July, and
the effect It had upon other watering places
which have suffered severely theretiom is
considered, ono cannot help the question:
"What wonld the season havu been like had
the usual July heat prevailed?" In view of
the piobablo rush to Bedford, which the
next season will witness, Mr Doty is con
templating large additions to the already
extensive hotel buildings. If an one has
doubts as to whether a liberal managoment
pays lie has only to come to Bedford and
stay for a-week or two at the Springs.
IN THE FISHING CAMP.
Pretty Sights Along tho Blonongahela Biver
This Time of Year.
rCOBIJESPOXDENCE OP THE DISPATCH.!
West Elizabeth, Pa., Aug. 8 Ofthe army
of pleasure seekers w ho escape the dust and
heat of the city at this season of the year, a
goodly portion affect the fishing camp, and
the Monongahela river seems the most de
sirable retreat. It is really surprising how
popular the fishing camp has becomo along
thi3 river within the past decade. A trip by
boat from Pittsburg to MorgHntown dis
closes nt intervals of every mile or so camps
or sites of abandoned camps. These campers
come from all classes and professions. In
somo Instances the camp is a family camp,
where the whole family goes out for a week
or month of pleasure. Sometimes tho camp
is made up of the members of some lodge,
or ot fellow w orkmen in somo mill or fact
ory. Occassionally a minister will take
part of his flock for nn outing.
Because It is n fishing camp It does not
follow that tho chief and solo object Is to
catoh flsh, far from it. Thero, they may en
Joy tho fresh country air, and healthful rlv er
breezes; bathing and boat excursions; fish
ing, if any wish, and all the other pleasures
attendant to camp life. Tho camp has a
captain or commissariat, who has a general
oversight of affairs. Ho keeps thefuuds and
purchases all provisions. An assessment is
mado upon the members of the camp w lion
tho funds become low and each contributes
his share to replenish the treasury. Tho
average cost per member in camps where
the best of fare is served is not over four
dollars per week; sometimes much less,
bometlmes outsidors aro taken ns boarders
atthe rate of H per week and fnends who
make the camp flj mg visits are entertained
at the expense of the camp.
WELL UP ME KIVER.
The banks of tho fifth and sixth pools
are tho most in favor for good loca
tions. A high level plot of ground out of
reach of any sudden nse oftho rivcrin some
beautiful llttlo grove or clump of willows
makes a desirable site. The camp is not
usually located in tho immediate vicinity of
aiiv' dwelling, but generally within a mile or
two of somo river town, where a supply of
provisions may be easily had. Some camps,
however, make arrangements before leaving
fiomo to have fiesh provisions sent upon tho
boat caoh day.
Having arrived at tho camping place, a
cooking shed Is built, in which a stove is set
up. Rude shelvos are ai ranged about the
sides of the shed to accommodate cooking
utensils. Arnde cupboard, well-filled with
xrvfrnabla dishes, cotnnletes the kitchen
.part 9t the camp. Tttan there must he a
EBBf
store room. If the camp is situated where
there is bank or hillside, a cave in the ground
will answer this purpose. Should tho situa
tion be not favorable for a cave, a socond
shanty or house is built. A largo open tent,
with a permanent table In the center,
answers as a dining room. Finally, sleeping
tents aro provided, the number of which
will of course depend upon lhe number
of campers. A largo tent will accommodate
eight to 12 persons. Sometimes the campers
sleep upon tho ground rolled up In blankets,
but very often comfortable berths are ar
ranged about tho tents. Lines stretched
across the tent, upon which are hung gar
ments of all descriptions, obviate tho neces
sity of a wardrobe. In the sleeping tents the
respective members keep their personal ef
fects and baggage.
SEES' JKOM THE P.lVElt BOATS.
Much tasto is displayed in the arrange
ment of tho camps now to be soon along the
Monongahela. Often a neat picket fence is
built along tbe bank in front of the camp
and nicely whitewashed. Over the gateway
is an inscription with the name ofthe camp.
A flight of steps from tho gato to tho water's
edge is made by digging steps into the bank,
and on either sido erecting a railing. Upon
the beach and banks are made figures of
animals, fishes, anchors, stars, etc., with
shells or whitewashed stones, which look
very pretty to tho passongers on the nver
packets. Sometimes a large rock or boul
der upon the shore will bo white
washed and inscribed with mottos.
such as "Xo Place Like Home," "Go Slow,"
"Grovor Cleveland," "The Girl 1 Left
Behind," and "Rock of Ages." At one camp
a little German, who had seen a picture In
ono ofthe Pittsburg papers of a well-known
statesman fishing, had produced tho picture
in offlgy. A pair of blue overalls, a pink
shirt, yellow seersucker coat, rubber boots,
a paper collar nnd flaming necktie and an
old straw hat which had seen its best days
and perhaps woise completed the figure
which wns labeled with a name that had
been tho battle cry of a gi eat political party.
it aiuou in cue water a lew ieec irom tne
shore and hold suspended In the air a rod
and lino to which was attached a good-sized
porch.
Tho camp always displays its patriotio
spirit by hoisting the national colors in a
conspicuous place. The great event of tho
day is tho arrival or the boat, which is re
ceived with a salute from the cannon, whloh
is an appendage of every camp. The river
mail is tho principal means of communica
tion with home, and there are usually letters
for some of tho campers. Then there are
fresh supplies and peihaps some new luxury
just come Into season.
Upon the whole, for real pleasure and
recreation, inoxpensiv eness and access
ibility, there is no other field that offers a
wider latitudo for enjoyment and ease than
tho fishing camps along the Monongahela
river, and this assertion is supported by tho
fact that the camps are becoming moie
numeious each season.

TIT EYADE Tl LAWS.
How the Fakir Specialist Succeeds In Ply
ing His Traffic Unmolested in Pittsburg
Some of His methods Exposed There
Is Moro to Follow.
Of all the enemies to public life nnd safety
the fakir specialist is the most dangerous.
Against the confidence man, the burglar and
the highwayman, society succeeds in pro
tecting itself in some manner. But against
the fakir specialist the only practical pro
tection the public of Pittsburg has, in spite
of our laws, lies in that indignation and con
tempt which is always aroused after his
tricks are exposed, his pretenses laid bare.
The fakir specialist is more dangerous
than others of the criminal class to which he
properly belongs, because he preys upon the
helpless and unfortunate. The highway
man and burglar
STAKE THErE LIVES
in their desperate game. There is often a
certain manliness and even bravery about
their crime. The fakir specialist preys
npon the pathetic longing for life and health
that exists among invalids past recovery.
He relies upon that singular popular cre
dulity which is almost a disease in itself.
One would think that his claims, whieh are
alwaysiabsurd and preposterous to the in
telligent and normal mind, would be be
lieved by no one. One would say: "His
claims are so absurd that no one would be
lieve him. He is not a physician; he is a
fakir, ignorant, unprincipled, contemptible.
Let him alone. He will soon be found out."
This sounds sensible enough, but its de
fect lies in that it fails to take into consid
eration thnt vast number of sick and dis
eased, who have long hoped against hone,
who have suffered for j cars without relfet,
who are in the position of a drowning man,
"catching at a straw," who are ready to
listen to the voice of anyone who will prom
ise relief or core.
"But we have
LAWS IN PENNSYLVANIA."
Another sayj "laws of medical registration,
laws requinng that a man who comes to
Pittsburg to practice medicine shall undergo
a rigid examination before the faculty of one
of our medical colleges before he is allowed
to practice here. "What is the need of these
remarks about Pakir Specialists?"
"Yes, we have laws and good ones. Penn
sylvania should be proud of her medical
laws, but Pittsburg should scrutinize more
closely the ways in which they are evaded
and disregarded within her limits."
A fakir comes to Pittsburg, hires a cheap
doctor to satisfy the laws and plies his trade
unmolested. To the patients who come to
him the Fakir is the 'physician. He con
sults with them, prescribes for them and
extorts their money from them. To the
officers of the law, in case an investigation
is made, the cheap doctor presents his cer
tificate of registration, and here investiga
tion ceases and the Fakir continues his
traffic unmolested.
"We have positive information of three or
four fake concerns that have in this way
evaded the laws and in this way imposed
upon the public.
We think this kind of imposition has
gone on about long enough. It is time to
present a vigorous challenge and if the
authorities are unable to protect the sick
and afflicted from ignorant and unprincipled
pretenders to medical skill, to let in a
LITTLE WHOLESOME DAYLIGHT
on the subject. We welcome competitors.
We are proud of the fact that every year
sees more and more men of recognized abil
ity and standing in the profession adopting
our plan of advertising in the daily papers.
We are proud and glad of the fact that most
ofthe heavy advertisers in the daily papers
in large cities to-day are regularly educated,
regularly qualified physicians. But for
their protection, for the public protection,
and -for our own protection, it is our duty to
expose-and denounce the imitations of un
principled fakirs, who without the slightest
pretext of medical training and experience,
without the courage to publish their own
names, and openly defy the laws, hire cheap
doctors to protect them from the police,
copy the style of advertising of reputable
phjsicians aud insolently ply their illegiti
mate traffic in our mid3t. We shall hav e
more to say on this subject. Faets are stub
born things, and we propose to deal in tacts.
