This is seashore time. The dog days call to the worker in home, office, an 4 mill and the answer brings up thoughts of the many resorts beside the sea where comfort, recreation, and pleasure alike await the coming of the holiday-maker. Along the -hores of New Jersey from Cape May to Sandy Hook lie forty beaches, each offering delights for outings long or -hort and each easily accessible by the splendid train service n the Pennsylvania Railroad. Atlantic City, with it- myriad attractions for young and old, needs no introduction, for its charms are known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Cape May, for a century the summering place of satisfied thousands of -eeker- after cool breezes, fine bathing, and the refined amusements of the seaside, is more attractive than ever in its new life. Ocean City, Wikhvood, Sea Isle City, with their smaller neighbors, Anglesea, llollv Beach, Wildwood Crest, Avalon, and Stone Harbor, afford summer pleasure to thousands. To the north lie Beach Havtn, Seaside Park, Island Heights and the other resorts about Barnegat Bay, where the lover of fishing and sailing|finds the choicest sport. Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Point Pleasant, Allenhurst, Elberon, and Belmar on the Upper Coast where the country meets the sea right on the beach, appeal with mighty force to the vacationist. Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will be glad to give full information regarding excursion rates, time of trains and arrange your outing whether it be for a day, a week or the whole summer. For Two Years. "For two years after I was married I was ashamed to meet the preacher who united my wife and me in the holy bonds. You see. in my excited condition I made a blunder and gave him a five dollar bill instead of S2O. which I intended to hand him. I sup pose he thought T was a cheap skate, but I couldu't very well explain it without making myself ridiculous or causing him to suspect that I was ly ing about it."

'EVANGELIST Fifes CRUISE William U. Flake, tlie river ev;m Relist, of Binghamton, N. Y., who passed through Danville aboot the first of Joly on a cruise down the SUB. quehanna, reappeared in. thin city Monday on his homeward trip, having journeyed in his gpeoially designed ' boat all the way to the Chesapeake bay. At Havre de Grace he sold his j boat and with the proceeds was re- ! turning home by rail. On the North Branch the evangelist i found comparatively clear sailing, but once on the main stream he realized that hard work was before him. Sev eral times he nearly lost his life. He shot the treacherous falls near ! Marietta and in the act faoed perils untold. At times in order to save his boat as it was tossed about among the boulders he was obliged to leap into the onrrent. Thus often in water op to his chin for what seemed intermit) able periods he clung to his boat while people thinking his end had come, gesticulating wildly, ran op and down the shore or attempted to reach him by climbing over the rocks that here and there protruded above the falls. At rimes his boat took a sheer drop of (our feet yet either inside or out of it he managed to hold ou to his frail craft and prevent its destruc tion. Below McOall'a ferry lie faced fresh peril. His oar slipped at a critical moment and lie was drawn into the dreadful whirlpool that exists at that point, where nil floating objects are quickly sacked down into the raging waters, which there are very deep His boat was tossed about like a cork on the swirling current and lie gave up all for lost. He did not forget to pray, however, and with all the fervor and enthusiasm of his nature, he oalled out aloud to his Creator. Then according to the river evangelist a miracle occurred. The laws of nature seemed suspend ed and the frail craft instead of com p!etiug the circuit "stopped short a:ift like an arrow darted out of the whirl pool into calm water."

Whil" ttie wagon was in motion he lost his hold and fell to the ground. Among other injuries sustained were a fracture of the left arm jn-.t below his elbow and a dislocation of the el bow joint. About 12:;!0 o'clock he was brought to the oflice of Dr. Paules, where the broken bone was set and the disloca tioti was reduced. Charter Application. NOTICE OF APPMOATON FOR CHARTER.
