Queer Incidents Attending the Pres-, idenl-Elecl's Sojourn. JNE BAD CASE OF STAGE FRIGHT. lie Little Tacht Gronnds on the Way to the frhooting Grounds. BI1IPLICITT OP TUB INHABITANTS rcopRzsrosDtxcE or the oisrATCH.j Exmoee, Va., Dec. 2. While President elect Cleveland and his Iriends, Mr. Daris ana Mr. Jefierson, came to Broadnater IMand w ith the avowed intention or "rough in;; it," the most formal amenities of social life have been entirely Jorgottcu. Although politicians have been tabooed there have bcea many pleasant lfttle gatherings at the Forrell cottage which 1 ave had uo connec tion with duck sliootiat;. During his star Mr. Cleveland has always been arcesible to those who make their heme on the Ishfod and also rative who come on pilgrimages Irom the mainland. There hae been al most daily informal receptions accorded these people. Albert Duncan, an unusually intelligent gentleman, who has achieved quite a rcputa tation for biavery tn connection with occa sional service at the United States Life Sav ing nation, headed quite a little party of Eastern horsemen who called on Mr. Cleve land one afternoon. They were received with courtesy, and local topics formed the btsis of quite an animated conversation. The President-elect took particular pains to see that each member of the party was provided with a fragrant perfecto, and the little reception was practically turned into genuine ''smo'ecr." A Tecullar Pastorate. Eev. John K. Sturgis, pastor of the little Methodist Eniscopal Church located on Broadwater Island, also brought a party to pay their respects to the distinguished visi tor. Mr. Sturgis has for years conducted what might be called a missionary work airocg the islands, which form & sort of Archipelago along the coast of Virginia and deaden the force of the ocean waves x-hich would otherwise beat upon a more inhospitable and desolate shore. On alternate Sundays he visits Broadwater and Cobbler Islandi, where the simple natives are instructed in the word of God. The little ones are not neglected and Sunday Ecliool services are held every two weeks ior their benefit. Mr. Sturgis lives at Bird's Nest on the mainland, a email village situated 1G miles south of Extnore. In winter and summer, through rain and shine he makes the 5 miles sail in his small batteau, re turning to bis home on Monday. He often takes his little son with him on these trips. Many times when Mrs. Sturgis has been visiting on the island she has gone up into the lighthouse tower, and, with the aid of a powerful glass she has watched the progress of her husband's trail cralt through a fierce tuam. The violent gale would lay the boat upon its side and the maddened, white-capped waves would dash over it causing it to dis appear entirelr from sight. The faithful wife often gave up in despair, believing that her husband and son had certainly been overwhelmeJ and lost, but they al ways succeeded in outriding the storm and landed in safety. Mr. Cleveland talked with the minister for some time and mani fested much interest in the work which has already been done and that which is bought to be accomplished on the island. The Only Formal Keceptlon. Aside from these irregular little gather ings there has been but one real event on Broalwater which mizht be considered as approac'iing the dignity of a formal recep tion. This was the occasion when President-elect Cleveland paid his respects to Mrs. Ferrell at the ciub house. The large, comfortable sitting room was brightened up for the occasion. A sparkling fire of resinous pine knots was kindled in the grate. The vases upon the mantel over the hearth were filled with house flowers. The lace curtains were pulled back from the windows and admitted more than the usual abundance of licht. Mrs. Ferrell, who is a handsome, cul tured and refine 1 lair, was dressed in an elegant black Hennette costume, made with a plain skirt and having one plaited ruffle around the bottom. The bodice was cut plain and elaborately trimmed. She stood in the center of the large room and received her distinguished caller. Tne President was attired :n a regulation lull dress suit. After a pleasant interchange of courtesies he returned to the cottage which has been set apart lor his use. The usual train of incidents which do not obtain general publicity have not been wanting during Mr. Cleveland's visit to Broadwater Island. While trivial in them selves, and of no consequence on matters of interest, they have nevertheless been an un failing source of amnsjement ,and gossip among those who know no world beyond' the environments of the narrow peninsula. These occurrences have been endlessly re vamped and passed lrom mouth to month with a succession of additions and variations that would be simply astounding were it not perfectly harmless. A Caso or Stage Fright. On one occasion when two ladies, who are Sermanent residents of the islaud, called on r. Cleveland at the cottage they suffered ladly from stage fright, and for a time lost their presence of mind. While in a condi tion which could not be better described than bv the word "rattled," the President4 elect addressed a query to one of the ladies which required ao afSrmative answer. The lady, houever, in her hopeless confusion, made a miscalculation in the mitter of gen der, and replied, "Yes, ma'am." This little error etill- continues to be the source of much merriment in this vicinity, and is gradually traveling overland in the same way in uluch prehistoric happenings are said to have been transmitted to posterity Irom father to son, and Irom neighbor to neizhbor. Another stock Item of gossip ii the grounding of the little steamer Sunshine. While conveying Mr. Cleveland to the blinds for a day's sport shootin.' waterfowl the yacht entered shallow water too near the shore and stuck last in the mud. There was not the slightest possibility of personal danger, and Mr. Cleveland forsook the steam launch and entered a small boat which was rowed to the blind. He suffered not the slightet inconvenience, and re garded the mishap in the nature of a little diversion. Tne Captain of the Sunshine, Fred Marsh, a big, bronzed, good-natured roaiiner who belongs to a class of people knoun through out the country as "PennsUvania Dutch men," is said to hae literally torn his auburn hair and distractedly pulled his -red mustache and appealed, in choice broken German, to all the cods which are supposed to have composed the autonomy of tne Gre cian mythology. The vessel was soon re lested from her ridiculous rather than dan gerous position, and proceeded on her cir-J cuiar jauracv aiuuuu . ...-, cuuciui lne to frichteu tinwarybir that had set tled on the water andS(H . them to flr within carrying distance I ..- ' lereiaud'a fowling piece. This incident i a very good second to the "Yes, ma'am," story'which still continues to be a prime favorite! on the round! of local gossip.. Everybody Is Enjoy Inc life. But apy impression prevailing to the efiect that all those who inhabit the eastern shore are illiterate, ignorant and clownish is entirely erroneous. The surrounding country is now well supplied with schools and churches and the people generally are above the average in brightness aud intelli gence. They are without exception peace able is their disposition, domestic in their habits and consider good health and con tentment as more to be desired than fine.. clothes or expensive modem residences. Everybody seems to enjoy life, Isven if it appears more simple here than those in the larger cities are accustomed to view it. While no full-fledged theatrical com panies ever make barn-stormine iuvasions into these parts, vet there is an abundance of amateur entertainments, charades, oyster bakes, and voting contests in .which the rivalry of local beauties play an important part. These voting contests" are rather unique in their way and differ from the bej ter known varietv in that an open ballot decides the result instead of the old-fashioned system of secret count and the an nouncement of a returning board. These contests are held in the diitrict schoolhouse, and the mode of operations is simple, although regarded here as a trifle exciting. Some young gentleman, who is either suffering from financial depression, or whose aflections have not become con centrated on some lady for whom he hopes to secure special distinction takes charge of the blackboard and acts as master of cere monies. The proceedings are then ready to begin, and the lists arc opened to all con testants, none being barred because of age or deficiency in personal charms. When the first gentleman steps forward, produces a 50 cent piece and asks that ten votes be recorded to Miss Jones, that lady's name is immediately placed on the board with the number of votes opposite.' All the Votes Ara Purchased. Other gentlemen then step up and an nounce the names ot their favored lady friends, producing at the same time vary ing amounts of subsidary coin with which to emphasize their judgment by the pur chase of votes. The gentlemen friends of each lady whose name appears on the black board then rally to her support, and tho voting at once becomes lively, expensive and uncertain. This battle ot ballots, each one of which has a specified value in the much despised nickel, continues for 30 minutes, when the polls arc declared closed. As this exciting moment approaches the excitement often becomes intense, and this innocent amusement becomes deadly tragedy to the enamored youth who at one and the Same time stares defeat and bankruptcy in the face. When traveling men from the north visit the eastern shore they apparently labor under the impression that the native popu lation is still comparatively uncivilized. As a matter of fact the outlying country around Exmore was reasonably primitive bofore the construction of the railroad. As the proprietor of a hotel at Belle Haven expressed it, he was but 8 years old, as he onlv dated his existence since the'3ay that a locomotive first passed down the penin sula. Many amusing stories are told of the cnormons crowds that congregated at this point to see for the first time the prodnct of Stevenson's inventive genius. It 13 said that when the first bar-room was opened in Exmore a benighted country man from some moss hidden inlet dropped in during the month ot August and asked tor a glass of water. The dispenser of liquids who it is supposed, did not have the modernized white tie, apron and eight inched diamond stnd, complied with the re quest and placed upon the pine slab that served as a bar a glass of original, unadul terated water in which floated an octagonal chuck of ice, which had previously done duty in preserving the low temperature of some beer imported from Norfolk, Never Heard of Ice In August. The native inquired with some solicitude as to the character of the foreign snbstancs in his glass. When informed that it was ice, he denied the statement with indigna tion. Upon being assured-'tfiat it. was the actual product of nature he scornfully said: "Ice, nothine. Who ever heard tell Of ice in August?" A careful canvass has been made among the oldest inhabitants to ascertain, if possi ble, the why and wherefore by which this station became known to an admiring world as Exmore, bat with extremely limited sue less. When the railroad compa'nv first? opened an office here for the transaction of business the station was known as Belle Haven, out of respect to the little town of that name located one mile and a quarter from the line. Some lime afterward, ac cording to a carefully guarded leiend, the owner of a plantation in this vicinity im ported some horses from Scotland, the ani mals II question belonging to the widely knoirn "Exmoor breed." An official of the mad was struck with the name and de termined to bestow the same upon this little bamlet Through a series of blunders, aided and abetted by a sign painter, who had ideas ot his own concerning orthog. ranhy, the station house eventually became labeled with a large pine board bearing the simple legend "Exmore." The time cards, tickets aud stationary were eventually changed to meet the views of the artist whoe skill will long b: perpetuated on the pine board sign. ' -. HOLIDAT GIFTS AT Solomon & Ruben's.
