Colored People's Meetings.

The colored people of Ocean City will

begin holding divine services for the

season next Sunday, June 18th, in

Steelman's Hall, on Asbury avenue, be-

low Seventh street. Preaching at 3.30

and 8.30 P. M., by Rev. J. F. Lee, pastor. Trustees Elected. John W. Smith, Aldred Nelson and Joseph C. Burley were elected Trustees of the M. E. Church for three years at a meeting held on Thursday evening. Immediately after the election the new

Board organized by electing R. C. Rob-

inson, president; J. O. Down, vice presifent; John W. Smith, secretary; and L. R. Thomas, treasurer. Another Convenience. The Union Transfer Company is always appreciated by those who make use of its facilities. It diminishes the discomforts of travel very considerably to give baggage into the hands of this

company and to have it delivered to

its destination in good order, without the necessity for bestowing a single thought upon it, and at a cost which is

trifling when compared with the an-

noyances which one escapes. Return Thanks. John A. English, proprietor of the Traymore, desirous of showing his appreciation of the action of our citizens in protecting his hotel from fire Monday morning last, has presented the local fire company with a $10 bill to assist their finances, and hints that more may follow.

The committee of arrangements for the sociable held at J. T. Price's wish to tender a vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs.

Harry G. Steelman and their assistants for the excellent music rendered at that sociable, and also to all other friends who assisted in the entertainment. Left for the West. William H. Elwell, who recently resigned from the service of the W. J. R. R. as agent at Ocean City, spent several

days last week in visiting old friends in

this place and vicinity, previous to his departure for the West. Mr. Elwell left on Monday for Philadelphia, where he was joined by J. M. Wilson, who lately occupied the position of agent at Avalon, and in the evening the gentlemen started for Chicago, via Niagara Falls, over the Reading Railroad. The intend remaining in the Windy City for some time, taking in the World's Fair and visiting places of interest, after which they will leave for Denver, Colorado. Mr. Elwell has left behind him warm

friends, gained by his genial manners and uniform courtesy to all with whom he was brought in contact while in the service of the West Jersey Railroad, whose kindest wishe will follow him wherever his interests may lead him to locate. Programme at Ocean City.

Rev. S. Wesley Lake, president of the

association, has prepared a grand programme for the summer. Rev. Bishop R. G. Andrews, D. D., LL. D., will preach Sunday, July 30th, and Rev. Bishop J. M. Walden, D. D., LL. D., will preach Sunday, August 20th. Rev. John S. Heisler, one of the most elo-

quent and beloved members of the New Jersey Conference, will preach Sunday, July 9th. Rev. J. E. Adams, one of Newark's most eloquent divines, will preach Sunday, July 23d. Rev. J. E. Smith, D. D., pastor of State street, Trenton, one of the mightiest among the mighty, will preach Sunday, August 27th. The W. C. T. U. will have charge July 16th, and the camp meeting will continue from August 4th until the 13th. August 6th, Sunday, Rev. Dr. T. J. Gray, president of Dickinson Seminary, one of the leading men of Central Pennsylvania, will preach. Don't fail to put your families under such influences for the summer. The Season Opened at Atlantic. The season was formally opened here with a hop at Young & McShea's pier Saturday night, which was attended by a fashionable throng of people. The arrangements for this social function were under the management of James A. Willard, and nothing was omitted

that would add to the comfort and en-

joyment of the guests. The floor of the large dancing pavilion is as smooth as glass, and those who enjoyed the terpschorean festivity had every reason to be gratified, and by the looks of pleasure which shone on the faces of the ladies and gentlemen, it was evident that such was the case. The cottage and hotels are rapidly filling up with pleasure seekers who will make this, the American Brighton, their summer home. Besides those who intend remaining here for any length of time, trains over both the Reading and Pennsylvania lines are constantly bringing in hundreds of people who enjoy themselves for a day alone. Thus far very little bathing has been indulged in by anyone, although the water is gradually getting warmer and bathing suits are exposed in a tempting array all along the boardwalk. By next week the bathing season will be opened in full blast, when those who are pining away in

secret to show an always-admiring public some "lovely" suits, will have an opportunity to gratify themselves. Up to date drum fishing has been the favorite pastime of many, and the good fortune of not a few. There have been some remarkably good catches made this week. Paper hanging, decorating, painting graining and sign writing. All work guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. The New Carousal in Ruins--About Fifty Feet of Boardwalk Destroyed--Loss Over $15,000. The site where the handsome new merry-go-round building once stood is now marked only by bent and twisted rods and charred timbers. The fire

which destroyed the structure was dis-

covered about 1.15 Monday morning by Mr. Kenney, an employee of the etsablishment who slept in the second story of the building. He was awakened by the cracking of the window panes in his room, caused by the intense heat, and springing from his bed hastily made his exit from the burning build-

ing. His cries of "fire, fire" awakened Elmer D. Sooy, of the Traymore, which

is but a few feet west of the destroyed structure, who quickly aroused the inmates of the hotel, and securing

a box of new blankets from the storeroom, saturated them with water and covered the roof and that portion of the hotel most exposed to the flames, thus saving one of Ocean City's handsomest hostelries. Within a short time after the discovery of the fire a large number of our citizens, armed with every conceivable implement, were on the scene and done noble work in confining the flames to the building in which they started. Owing to the inflammable nature of the materials used in the construction of the carousal and the headway gained by the fire before discovery, the contents

of the building were consumed.

I. G. Adams, of Atlantic City, owner of the carousal, had had the building newly painted this spring, besides giving the machinery a complete overhauling. His loss is $15,000, with an insurance of $3000. The damage done at the Traymore will amount to about $200, and the city's loss is in the neighborhood of $50. This was the most disastrous conflagration which has ever visited Ocean

City, and only the second one in ten years. The place was opened for the season on Saturday night, and a no

fire had been in or around the building since that time, many think it was of

incendiary origin. According to Mr. Kenney's account, the fire started on the outside of the building next the ocean, and gained entrance to the inside through the window of his room. The place of amusement was one of the most popular in town, and its loss

will be felt by all. Mr. Adams will commence rebuilding at once.

Unfortunately the Traymore Hotel, owned by J. A. English, of Philadel-

phia, had been undergoing repairs last week, and in consequence the water

pipes throughout the building were disconnected, and the appliances for fighting fire, with which it is thoroughly equipped, could not be gotten into operation for some time after the alarm had been given. Mr. English expressed

himself as much pleased with the efforts put forth to save his property, and

desires to return thanks to all who assisted in fighting the fire. He made a

substantial contribution to the newly-organized fire company.

Children's Day Exercises. As last Sunday was the day set apart by the Methodist Church at large as the occasion upon which to give over the exercises entire to the children, the First M. E. Church of this place had an ex-

cellent programme arranged in which the Sunday school scholars took the leading part.

The church was beautified with potted plants and evergreens, and the American flag had a conspicuous place in the decoration. Rev. W. A. Massey was assisted in the morning service by Revs. D. W. Bartine, B.H. Sanderlin and E. B. Lake. Before the sermon, six children were presented for baptism, as follows: Parker and Eugene Scott Miller, children of Simeon B. and Sarah A. Miller; Joseph and Leroy Morey, children of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Morey; Esther Carhart, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Carhart, and Amy M. Voss, daughter of John and Lizzie Voss. After this impressive ceremony, Rev. Massey delivered a short sermon. The vocal exercises of the morning were under charge of a double quartette composed of Miss Jennie Massey and Mrs. R. Curtis Robinson, soprano; Miss McCleese, Miss Maggie Burley and Miss Alice Risley, alto; H. H. Lake, tenor

and organist; Joseph Champion, bass. This part of the programme was ex-

ceptionally well rendered.

In the evening, Superintendent G. P. Moore had charge of the services. The

following is the programme: Organ solo, Miss Lulu Garwood; Doxology, congregation; Lord's prayer, by school; Prayer, J. W. Smith; Responsive read-

ing, school and congregation; The Children's Friend, song, by the school; God Bless the Children, reading, Superintendant Moore; 'Tis Children's Day, recitation, Florence Austin; Scripture

exercises, by school; Our Daily Guide, song, by school; Recitation, Infant Class; A Loyal Band, song by Infant Class, accompanied on organ by Amy Thorn, one of the class; The Rising Legion, recitation, Anna Fisher; Responsive reading, school and congregation; At Sunset, recitation, Lizzie Breckley; Singing Songs of Joy, song, by school; Addresses, Revs. Bartine and Massey; Let All the Children Sing, duett and chorus, by school; By and

By, song, school, after which the Rev. Massey closed the exercises by pro-

nouncing the Benediction. Miss Lulu Garwood presided at the organ during the evening services, assisted by Misses Corinna Sutton, Alice Risley, Jennie Massey, Emma Lee, Messrs. J. W. Smith, H. H. Lake, and G. W. Everingham. The church was well filled during both services, and the manner in which the youthful participants acquitted themselves reflected much credit upon those who had their training in charge.

Wanamaker's.

PHILADELPHIA. Monday, June 12, 1893. No, they're not all Silk--just half--those Taffeta Plaids

for Blouse Waists. Very likely they're better for that use

than if silk worms furnished every fiber. Silk and Wool so perfectly put together that the goodness of each shows at

the best. Handsome as they are, they'll seem handsomer

when you know the price--$1 instead of $1.50. Seven styles, 39 inches.

Navy blue Serges are may-

be quickest steppers just now from the counters of Summery Woolen stuffs.

At 40c, a good 50c quality, 36 in. At 50c, a good 60c quality, 36 in. At 60c, a good 75c quality, 50 in.

At 70c, a good 85c quality, 46 in. At 85c, a good $1.00 quality, 50 in.

At $1.00, a good $1.25 quality, 56 in. At $1.25, a good $1.50 quality, 54 in. Navy blue comes laughing to the front in that great camp of Hopsackings, those open-mesh beauties that divide favor with the Serges. 36 in. Hopsacking at 50c. 40 in. Hopsacking at 75c. 46 in. Hopsacking at $1.00.

48 in. Hopsacking at $1.25.

Dress Goods people say no such June bargains of Cottons and all the Summery stuffs were ever before offered. Finest French Sateen made this season, at 25c in-

stead of 37 1/2c.

Lovely, cool Scotch Crepes that were 50c and 60c, now 25c. Finest domestic printed Sateens, 15 from 20c. 20c Balists at 15c.

That's the news from coun-

ter to counter. Just as welcome words from the Wooleny stuffs--like the All-wool French Crepe at 50c; lately a quick seller at $1. Seventeen soft shades. Or the 18c Challis, those Cotton-and-Wool beauties that have proved such favorites. Mostly cream grounds with heliotrope and Nile green tintings. Women's Outing Dresses. New shapes, new features, new elegances almost every day. When a style becomes a bit passe we let the newer ones crowd it to one side. To-day the "Sandown" is at the front--of white Sail Cloth or navy blue Serge. The daintiest Outing Suit yet

shown. After the Eton style, somewhat, but with a broad flaring collar entirely differ-

ent from anything yet shown. Another newness is the London Cutaway-Coat Suit. Then, too, there are new combinations in Lawns, Ginghams and whatnot of the seasonable stuffs. The assortment of Serge Eton Suits was never completer. $6, $8.50, $10, $12, and more. Lady Craven Vests, white and figured Duck, in large variety.

That Trunk for Chicago.

Have you thought of the woes in store for it? The kid-glove handling of the railroaders is only the start. But as the occasion brings the man so it has brought the Trunk--a roomy, good looking Trunk. And warranted to stand the trip to Chicago and return.

Excelsior look, 8-inch hinges, cover that won't give. Instead of the casters made to come off, heavy

malleable iron bumpers made to stay. Length of Trunk 32 inches. The price, $4.50. The Trunk store is short of nothing of the kind that you'll need--traveling or packing away. Common Sense Trunks are one of the novelties. Set one snug against the wall--the cover lifts without touching paper plaster. One of the strongest and most convenient styles of Trunks made. Window Screen of every tried and worthy sort--25c to $1. We count the Lauderback Screens best of all--handsom-est, most satisfactory of the adjustables. Wanamaker's. Heighth. Length. Each. Dozen. 18 in. 27 to 32 in. 45c $4.85 21 in. 27 to 32 in. 50c $5.50 21 in. 31 to 36 in. 55c $6.00 24 in. 27 to 32 in. 55c $6.00 24 in. 31 to 36 in. 60c $6.50 27 in. 27 to 32 in. 60c $6.50 27 in. 31 to 36 in. 65c $7.00 27 in. 35 to 40 in. 80c $8.65 30 in. 27 to 32 in. 80c $8.65

30 in. 31 to 36 in. 85c $9.25

33 in. 31 to 36 in. 90c $9.75 33 in. 35 to 40 in. $1 $10.75 If Cedar Chests cost no more than pine, no woman would want any other kind to pock away clothes in. Here's a carload so close to pine prices that--well, the maker is the one that loses sleep.

21x21x36 in., at $6.50 each.

25x25x42 in., at $7.50 each. Zip-p, see how that Bicycle fairly flies! Note the name--Atalanta likely as not. There isn't a lighter-footed wheel on the market, nor a better. And the fun of it is that the Atalanta is $120 instead of $150!

Bicycles of any other make you choose--$18 to $150. A few 1892 Safeties at very little price.
