OCEAN CITY AS A SUMMER RESORT. In the long list of attractions which have so endured in Ocean City to the hearts of the constantly increasing throng of patrons perhaps none is so pregnant with deep, solid and lasting gratification as the mortal fact of its fundamental temperance basis, and especially is this true in these times when political corruption has so overridden the sanctity and power of the judiciary as to render this powerful bulwark of the people's rights a football for the gambling hordes and their willing tools, the spoilsmen legislators, who misrule our Commonwealth. Here no sordid, calculating traitor of a free people's rights can, however desirous he may be, inflict the infamy of the saloon upon us. No powerful racetrack despot can plant the heel of his dictatorship upon our pure, moral sentiment, for way down in the bedrock foundation of our present society lies the condition on which the land may be held by its covenanted purchaser, plainly, clearly and unmistakably setting forth that no rum, nor kindred intoxicant, can be sold or kept for sale on any foot of property from Inlet to

Inlet.

The direct results from this great moral attitude are seen in the characteristics of our citizenship, in the positive virtues of industry, thrift, economy, enterprise and general peaceableness, and the absence of stimulant indulgence has given a tone of health and vigor to every countenance in striking contrast with that of the mass of licenseridden people. The effect on our town is such that the utmost security is granted to every one who comes here either permanently or transiently. No rowdyism on the streets; no quarreling, and of course drunkenness is a thing of such infrequent occurrence that it never enters into the calculation, and the behavior of both residents and visitors is of the highest moral rectitude. Now, the consequential benefits flowing from this state of society are of such invaluable consideration to the families who may come to our shore as to be beyond estimation on the dollars and cents scale. The openings for the youth, who at seaside resorts enjoy very much greater liberty from parental control than at their homes, should he carefully considered before deciding on the summer camping ground for the family. If the chosen spot is in the midst of the whirl and bustle of some of the gay and populous resorts where the demands of fashion on the one hand and the great concern for the purity of the younger members of the family on the other become burdens on the hearts and heads of the parents their summer outing will be more than failures; but if, on the other, it is decided to reset and recuperate among healthful and delightful surroundings, where purely democratic ideas prevail, where no stuccoed conventionalities make life a burden, and no slimy trail of the rum devil sets the mother’s heart to shaking, then the saline breezes and the rest and Ocean breakers, the simple, fresh food and pleasant surroundings will build up the fragile, invigorate the ennuled, bronze the pallid cheek, and bring joy and gladness and a devout thankfulness for such an oasis in the moral desert as Ocean City and its temperance prin-

ciples. PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC LEDGER. The Philadelphia Public Ledger appeared Monday enlarged and illustrated. This is one of the most radical changes ever made by the management of this staid paper since it came into the hands of its present proprietor, George W. Childs. It is now a sixcolumn twenty-page paper. This departure, it is claimed, was made imperative by the encroachment of advertisements upon the news columns, and was decided upon only after much careful and thoughtful deliberation. It is indicative of the steady growth in popular favor which the Ledger has been making since its first appearance in 1836. Although the change is marked, yet the paper has lost none of its distinctive characteristics. It has been the one aim of Mr. Childs' life to make the Ledger rank as one of the leading newspapers of our country, and to that end he has bent all his energies, sparing neither pains nor expense to attain the object sought after, and the present enlargement is in the line of improvement which is destined to realize the long-cherished hope of its proprietor. The editorial announcement says: "The published and editor of the Ledger intends to keep this journal where it has so long been, in the front rank of American journalism. He means that

it shall be the epitome and chronicle of

the most vital thought and action of each passing day; that it shall be in touch with the most sentient, progressive spirit of the age, as that spirit makes itself manifest in all departments of human energy--in religion, science, art, literature, industry, amusement.

The Ledger of each day shall be the history of the previous day, faithfully told." The expected rush to Chicago this summer is evidently to be checked by the heavy expense attendant upon even a brief visit. The railroad fares will be an important item, as there is not likely

to be any noteworthy concessions in that direction. The western roads coming into Chicago decline to make reductions from usual rates, while the few eastern roads leading into the windy city may even increase the cost of transportation on their fast lines. A reduction on the slow lines would be balanced by the extra time causing an increase for sleeping berths and meals. Sandwich Island Girls. The women of the Sandwich Islands attire themselves in the holoku. The tropical climate makes loose, flowing gowns a necessity. The young girls wear wreaths of wild flowers around their brows and decorate their bodies with chaplets of green leaves. They do not use gold jewelry, but ornament their toilet with the floral beauty of the tropics. They are fond of outdoor life and live most of the time in the groves. They sleep in hammocks under the trees and have their dances and feasts in the grottoes of the forests. They have little huts in which they dwell during storms, but are rarely found in their cottages except in rainy weather. They build grass

thatched houses and cover their roofs

with rushes and have wide porches in

front of their doors to keep off the heat

of the sun.

Peerages Recently Become Extinct.

The peerages which became extinct in 1892, besides the dukedom of Clarence and Avondale, are given as the marquesate of Drogheda, the earldom of Charlecote, the viscounty of Sherbrooks and the baronies of Bramwell and Winmarleigh. The lesser titles of earl of Drogheda and Viscount Charlemont, however, still survive. Between the 1892 and 1893 editions of "Burke" six dukes died--the Dukes of Clarence, De-

vonshire, Manchester, Marlborough, Rox-

burghe and Sutherland, one marquis (Drogheda), eight earls (Charlemont, Denbigh, Eglinton, Errol, Essex, Harewood, Leitrim and Litchfield), three viscounts (Dillon, Hampden and Sherbrooke) and 10 barons (Abinger, Bathurst, Bramwell, Beaumont, Castlemaine, French, Stafford, Tennyson, Teynham and Winmarleigh). Seventeen baronetcies have been created, and three have become extinct, while 32 baronets have died. Two dukedoms and 16 baronies have been created, three persons have been promoted, and one peerage, that of Conyers, has been called out of abeyance in favor of the Countess of Yarborough.--London News. A Funny Thing About Tips. I was a good deal surprised to read the

statement that at the new Waldorf hotel

Mr. Astor, its owner, has inaugurated the foreign fashion of not compensating the head porter, and of leaving him to

find his recompense in the fees he may receive from the guests of the establish-

ment. It is only a short time ago that I

read that Mr. Astor had endeavored to break up the well established custom in

England of the payment of gratuities to

servants by the guests whom he might invite to his London mansion. This custom has always seemed to Americans to be extremely obnoxious, but it prevails abroad to a most annoying degree. I do not refer to the tipping in public places. I now speak of the tips that the guest at a private house is expected to pay liberally to the servants of the establishment, and it is an expensive operation, as every one knows who has been through it. But tipping in a pri-

vate house and in a hotel are two very different things.--New York Mail and Express.

The Calf Was Already Named. The president's little daughter has one less namesake than an admiring country had planned for her. Among the additions to the cattle at the reform school is a pretty little calf, which put in an appearance on Feb. 22. As soon as the wife of one of the officials heard of the

calf's arrival she dispatched a note ask-

ing that it be named Baby Ruth. This request, however, came a day too late,

as the little animal, having been born on

the birthday of the father of its country, had already been named Martha Washington.--Exchange. A Girl Who Weighs 370 Pounds. A girl 18 years old, who weighs 370 pounds, is the daughter of O. B. Braiser, a farmer, who lives at the foot of Cumberland ridge. At the age of 8 the child was of ordinary size and intelligence, but about that time she began to increase rapidly in flesh, and it was within a year after that she attracted attention on account of her abnormal growth. From

that time on she increased to such pro-

portions that people for miles around flocked to see her, and she became the wonder of the day. She is yet a child in age and actions, engaging heartily in sports with neighbor children, and is clever and energetic in all her movements. The skill of the physicians has been ineffective in staying the rapid growth.--Franklin (Tenn.) Review Appeal. A New Surgical Needle. A recent discovery in surgery is a new

needle with an automatic spring eye which disappears when passing through the tissues and reappears when the pressure is removed. The eye is sprung into a slot on the concave side of the needle near its point. It is the invention of a prominent surgeon who aimed to secure a stronger needle with an eye which would carry a thread without tearing the tissue.--Cor. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Power of a Philosophy.

Hegesippus, the great philosopher, discoursed so eloquently on the peace of death as compared with the worry of life that many of his auditors killed themselves, and to stop the epidemic Ptolemy ordered him to teach no more in public. --St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Situation at Woodbine. W. Franklin Brush, J. E. Pauling, C. B. Spahr, editor of the Christian Union, and A. Blair Thaw, constituting a committee of the Chadwick Club, New York, have just completed an inquiry as to the condition of the Russian Hebrew farm colony founded by Baron Hirsch, at Woodbine. A report of their findings has been transmitted to the Baron. The committee claims to have secured evidence that the mutual suspicion between the colonists and the trustees as represented by the superintendent bids fair to prevent advantage being taken of the season for planting. Though work has been given out, the majority of the colonists have refused to receive it from the hands of Superintendent Sabsovitch. The opinion is expressed that another than Sabsovitch would most likely prove a better and fairer superintendent. In conclusion, the committee says to Baron Hirsch: "We believe that the end desired by all--the success of the Woodbine experiment--is yet possible of attainment provided the right means be adopted. We earnestly recommend that deeds of ownership in the property be conveyed at once to all those farmers who have shown a disposition to improve their farms, whether by expenditure upon them of their own money or

by attentive efforts at cultivation. We

recommend that this be done under a guarantee that they shall not seek to dispose of the property made over to them within a specified period of years, and we recommend in addition enough to provide for their support in the form of a loan during the year required to

bring the farms to a condition in which

they can yield a maintenance. By this plan the responsibility for the success or failure of the colony is placed upon the farmers, where it belongs, and we

believe that in this way alone can the

men be inspired to the exertion necessary to wrest success out of failure." Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, April 24, 1893. Lansdowne. Began by being the pretti-

is the FILLING OF MAIL ORDERS.

The department devoted to this work in the great business at Eighth and Market Streets employs a large number of quick-witted and skill clerks, who devote their entire

time to the proper service of customers who order by mail; and by their careful and intelligent efforts, based upon the most comprehensive methods, a mail order system has been practically perfected whereby customers living at a distance are served with the same care and efficiency as those buying in person at our counters.
