EAGLES MERE.
Between twenty and thirty mem
, hers of the Football Team of the
University of Pennsylvania arrived
at Hotel Raymond on last Friday
j and it is expected that the number
i will be increased to about forty.
The party will stay here until the
latter part of September for drill and
exercise preparatory to their cam
paign during the fall and winter.
They are a strenuous crowd and make
things lively while they are around.
After their work on the Held they
take a plunge bath and a swim at
the beach, then a rubdown and then
a decent on the provisions around
the table at the Raymond. It is said
that they prefer Eagles Mere to any
other plat e for this drill because they
are so well entertained at the Ray
mond, the Ball Field is close at hand
and the beach affords such a grand
place for the daily bath.
Owing to a slight break in the
pumping machinery at the Crest
mont Power House tlie water supply
for that great hostelry is being furn
ished by the Water Co.
Photographer Phillips aild Elec
trician Trappe attend the Blooms
burg Centennial and will doubtless
be active and prominent figures.
Rev. Geo. Morgan, father of Rev.
Campbell Morgan, has kindly cor
sen ted to preach in the Bapt ,
Church for a number of Sund „A.
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan is strik
ingly like his father.
Rev. Dr. Parsons otticiated for the
last time this summer in the Pres
byterian Church 011 Sunday.
The tide of travel has now turned
homeward as the schools generally
open about Sept. Ist, and parents
must depart to make the needful
preparations.
If they are not killed by the frost
quite a number of improvements are
to be undertaken for next season.
The Chautauqua people have in con
templation several changes. One is
that the miserable arrangements of
the lights along the board walk from
the steamer landing to Chautauqua
entrance is to be bettered. As they
are now the pedestrian walks always
in his own shadow or that of the
person in front of him or her. We
are constantly in fear of stepping on
each others skirts or getting off the j
walk. All that is needed is to put j
the lamp on the other side of the j
poles.
The management of the Chautau-1
qua Inn have decided that its name is i
misleading in the fact that it gives !
the impression that it is somewhat of
a religious house and to set the pub
lic mind aright 011 that subject the
name is to change to that of"The
Forest Inn" so as to avoid the possi
bility of any misunderstanding 011
the subject.
Rumor has it that Miss Drcis
bach's pretty booth is not large
enough for the business done and
that its location is to bo changed and
the building considerably enlarged.
It is also said that "The Forest
Inn" is to receive very considerable
additions as to rooms and that some
entirely new arrangement is in con
templation for the dining room.
The surroundings of the Chautau
qua station will be in keeping with
the other parts of the grounds and it
is believed that Chautauqua will
represent much the largest invested
capital of the place.
The President of the Post Oftice
Club congratulated the Club 011 its
success in securing the corrections of
difficulties in and around the Bor
ough. It had undoubtedly had a
large influence in bringing about the
completion of the sidewalk in the
east end, that occupied the best at-1
tention of the "Business Mens Im
provement League," and the action 1
of the Club at its last meeting on the
subject of the loose stones on the
street resulted in a man being sent
out with a rake and he worked sev
oral hours and gathered at least live
or six piles of stones, it WHS thought
that it might be necessary to pass
another resolution at the next meet
ing so . s to urge on the work.
One of the members thought it
' might be a good thing to appoint a
committee to call on President Roos
evelt at some convenient time and
oiler him assistance on the Trust
question or anything else; that is
likely to be too much for him. It
was decided to postpone* any action
of that kind until it could lie ascer
tained whether the money could he
raised for the expense of such a com
mittee.

HON. F. A. GODCHARLES,
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.
The young man whose face you see within these lines is a plucky
boy who began life at the bottom of life's ladder and is gradually mak
ing his way to the top. There is nothing ready made al>out the sub
ject of this Sketch. Although one of the finn operating Milton's lar
gest iron industries, he nevertheless wears common clothes and washes
the factory grime from his person when frequently working with his
employees. Mr. Godcharles served his constituents in a most able
and worthy manner in the last legislature, and his excellent qualifica
tions for the position he now seeks are readily acknowledged by his
political opponents. That he is thoroughly appreciated by his party
in Sullivan county was demonstrated at our county convention where
he mingled freely with our citizens and won the admiration that im
mediately ripened into friendships of the most true and distinct order.
He will get a handsome vote from Sullivan county, and he deserves it.
