Tlio proprietors the various seaside liotels nnd countrj ooaruing houses are busily preparing II a TALKS OF mS TANDEM AT BOMB. hat up their establishments for th winter, while thoir victims I moan tc say their guests are rapidly flocking back to town In a considerably lew happy state ot mind than that which they manl Zested on their departure for their -annual outing. Not only have they suffered in pocket, but also In body and mind. Thelt digestion has been Impaired by tho "sum mer resort" cookery, while both thelt pride, their self-esteem and in some casei, too, their hearts havo been affected in manner the reverse of pleasant. We, at least those of us who have been relegated to hotel nnd boarding houses during the heated term of the year, rettirn to our city homes with n dlstinotly dis satisfied feeling which can best be de- scribed by that expressive American word "mean." We experience the always disa greeable impression that wehave beonmuk lng ourselves cheap and that we have low ered the degreo of pur self-respect. W have permitted ourselves to form Intima cies which we now regret, and we have submitted to treatment both as regard; comiort ana rood, which is sufficient to nil us with a longing to inflict bodily pun- isnment, not alone on the hotel or board ing house manager, but also upon our selves. What can there bo for Instance more thoroughly demoralizing and deteriorat ing of both spirit and digestion than the ordinary "summer resort" meal! TIIE cook's rAVOWTB. Tlmo hanging heavy upon our hands at such places as these, the meals con stitute the most important events of tht day. By degrees our thoughts commence to center upon them, so much so indeed that before long the question of food be comes our main preoccupation. We hurry to dining room as soon as over the doors are opened In the hope ot re ceiving the choicest morsels of the daily fare. And with the object of accom piuuing this, we are -willing to go to Imost any length to ingratiate ourselves with the waiter or the waitress, and bo- come downright abject in our endeavor to propitiate that august functionary, 01 whose graciousness and condescension so mnch of our well bolug at those summer resorts depends. Not that tho food Is worth the thousht. the diplomacy and the attention which wo are accustomed to extend thereto. For the "summer resort" proprietor or manager has his or hor establishment open during only three, or, TWINS HEIl BACK ON THIS SUMUE1 j nOTELS. at the most, four months of tho year, and within IhRt brief period he exnects to 0.. ,unj hjv uu.j w 'jr tllU expenses or running such a place whero . nuiiov. xuuiimences nre lew in num tiers and costly, but also to amass a sufllciont .sum to keep him in luxury aud idleness - ' uijjuu ui muu momtis of the year. Under these ciroum- stanco9 it is not astonishing that tbs manager or proprietor should procure, his provisions at tho very lowest prioe possible, trusting to the iuvarlably sharp Appetite of the summer boarder to atom w .1 n i i . i- i . . -v muj ututnuuj wim regain to the final U)ik. .1... . Then, too, our table manners are apt to su er from attendance at boarding housi meals, and eccentriolties of demcanoi which would have made us shiver with horror on our arrival leave us absolutel) calm and Indifferent on our departuro, foituuate indeed if we have not ourselvci unconsciously adopted thera. Moreover, coaise food and coarse table maimers In variably have a vulgarizing influence upon one's entire being, nnd hence It Is that w are apt to return to our city homei with our sense of delicacy and refinement con siderably impaired. Another cause whloh contributes to this deterioration, is that social diversion of the summer known as "holiday court ship." It is built neither upon n solid foundation of practice, wisdom nor oven n practical preference. Though often nils read as a proof of love at first sight, in nineteen cases out of twenty it is nothing ol the kind. It is simply a manifestation of the genial exuberance of unhampered youthful spirits nnd the result of idleness, lack of occupation and boredom. If anj proof were needed of this it could b found1 In tho fact that onr return to town almost Invariably terminate! these tphomcrul Infatuations aud when vu subsequently encounter the object thereof we ignore him, In tho most cold-blooded1 manner possible, asking ourselves what we can poulbly havo seen In the creature to attraot our admiration or even our' at tention. We no longer find him broad shouldered, his eyes are green rather than gray, that lower lip of his Is a very de cided defect, his feet are certninly mads for No. 10 boots, that hand which once si lovingly pressed our own, now looks coarse, stubby and 111 cared for, while in ' nine cases out of ten we meet again oui Don Juan of the boarding house, the boau of tho summer hotel, not driving In the park that tandem or that four-in- eapabte of combating the disease, whloh had fastened Itself on the lower end of New Yokr. He visited us very often and kept us supplied with the very best French brandy in tho market. Tills he, as well as other physicians, regarded as the best preventive of the disease. There was really nothing peculiar about my case of the cholera except the tearful fright I used to got at 4 o'clock In the morning, when, myself in terriblo pain, I would hoar tho "boom I boom I boom I" of the cofllns that wero being rolled down the stairways of tho school for quick In terment. I was wondering most ot the time how it would feel being shaken up In a box on those terrible stairs. My Bymptoms were, as I said before, llko all cholera victims. It came with a terrific headache followed by awful cramps In the stomach, continued woakoning discharges anu awtui vomiting until thcro was abso lutely nothing left ot mo but skin and boni s. The cure at that time was alwayi begun with nn attempt to deaden the pain by putting the patient into a sleep. Bui the opium hail little effect and calomel waB simply powerless. It all deponds, as it does to-day, on the general health and strength of tho body and on Its ability to sianu being racked with pain for from six io lorty-eight hours. II. Okciisniiath.

During (corrmanT. 1802, by james w. Johnson.) NEAR TO BURIAL. II. I"rml Tell. Uow Near lie Came to II e- lnEnI,lvlnc Victim of Cholera. My experience with the cholera dates back to 1835, when the dread scourge had reached the West and was making itself apparent on the steamers plying the Mississippi and its tributaries. I had "ONLY A FEW LEFT." Uldeon Tucker Toll. Uow the Saoarg Struck an Albany Newspaper Offlee, 1 have been through all the scourges since lodu, but only caught the disease in 1854, whan Albany was stricken with the pest, l was theu one ot the editors of the Albany "Argus," and It can be imagined how terrific the scourge was when I add that throe men were left at that time to run the paper. The rest had cither been stricken or fled from the town. Of course, our families were all as far away from tho scourge as we could get them. Well, we went to bed I each night feeling 'entirely sure that wo would wake up during the night with nn attack of cholera. The one preventive ndviBed by physicians at that time was brandy and lots ot it. So, when we three editors Went to bed, it was, In tho parlance of to-day, "well' loaded." In fact, each of us made it a point to eat a good meal, avoiding fresh fruits and vegetables, and then to 1111 ourselves un : wiin tne very best cognac we could get. 1 1 had followed this prescribed course one j night as usual, and woko up at 1 o'clock ! in the morning with a well defined casa of cholera. The cramps simply doubled me up. Words absolutely fall to describa the acute suffering ot this intestinal dis order. It was as though some demon had found his vny Into the abdomen and had started to give the man a dose of the "Inferno" on this side of tho Styx. I called Dr. Hunn, whose son is now prac tising in Albany, and who at that ttmt was, really doing marvolous work In, saving human life. He was one of the finest men I ever met, and certainly one of the greatest physicians we had in the State, if not in the country. He isolated the house at once, and then began treat ing me with opium and calomel. My symptoms were peculiar in one respect. 1 had no discharges other than the vom iting of water, and this strange fact, if anything, aggravated the caso. I was a strong, heavy man at 1 in the morning and at 2 in the afternoon, when the in fernal pain had left me, I was emaciated beyond all conception. My strong con stitution and tho splendid work of Dr. Hunn had saved my life. When my wife returned a few days later to assist in nursing mo to complete recovery sho failed to recognize in the emaciated, careworn, bloodless victim tho husband she had left a few weeks before, strong and healthy.

It Is said thai Senator Hill has been tendered the port folio of State by President-elect Cleve land. This Is following the custom to give to the leading opponent the port folio.

As a result Mr. Cleveland met Mr. Hill later on in Baltimore, where all differences were healed and the President-elect in person tendered the Senator the Secretaryship of State.

We numbered about 200 on board the vessel and were two days going up the mouth of the Ohio. There' the cholera struck us and the people on board began to die off by . tens and twenties dally. There was some odd regulations enforced at that tlmo which prevented tho depositing of liodies of cholera stricken victims in the Ohio river.

CLOSE CONNECTION WITH ALL TRAINS AND ALL PURSES Seeing the sights isn't complete any longer in Philadelphia till you've had the New Store pointed out to you if you're a stranger to it. 'Tisn't the size of it that makes it so, nor that it's near the two big railroads, nor that it's a struggling youngster among the great Clothing stores, but it's how it struggles. You go into it for a $20 Overcoat, and come out with a better $15 one than you wanted. You go in to see and stay to buy. You want a cheap suit, and you find its good suits cheap. You look around and find so many that you think it's a $10, $12, $15 Suits and Overcoats house. You look a little farther and you find $40 Overcoats and Storm Coats and Dress Suits of these greatly famed German dress fabrics and you conclude it has a place for everybody's clothing. You're right. But you only half know it if you leave out th boys. The boys half own the New Store. Above all the stores that are in the business, the New Store is the favorite with the boys. The Boys' Clothing deserves it. Beautiful, strong (you get good suits forSS-SC great suits for $6, fine suits to no end Reefers and all the other special styles for boys ) nothing has ever been done since clothing stores began to equal what the New Store is doing for Boys' Clothing to-day. Make for the New Store the first thing after you get to the city. It's handy. Let the other shopping come after. In the satisfaction of the money you'll save our prices are always a dollar or two or five under the store-prices you'll feel brighter and keener for all your other purchases. We have said nothing about the watches, pen knives and many other things we give the boys Free. .They're advertisements of the first-class. WM. H.
