Two Stirring Sermons by Rev. J. E. Adams.

At the Auditorium Sunday morn-

ing the Rev. J. E. Adams preached an eloquent sermon from Acts 9: vi, "What

wilt thou have me do?" It contained a complete exposition of the Christian

life and character, and was attentively listened to by an appreciative congregation. The text was treated under the fol-

lowing heads: First, Activity is shown in the initial life of a Christian; second,

Activity is displayed in his continued experience and life; third, That the

Christian religion is propagated mainly through the activity of its votaries;

fourth, this question, What wilt thou have me do, conveys the revelation of personal duty. The distinguished divine also preached in the evening, from Dan. 2: xxxv. The text was figurative language, but exceedingly significant. He described the STONE, the IMAGE, and the MOUNTAIN, and showed most graphically the relation of the prophecy to the affairs of the world and Christianity at the present time. Mr. Adams occupies at this time the patorship of the Morristown M. E. Church, Newark Conference. Illegal Fishing. Amateur fishermen are growling about the negligence of the Fish Warden of Atlantic county in regard to the

illegal practice of taking fish from the Thoroughfare with nets. People who

dread seasickness, or those who do not care to make long trips out to sea, have in the Thoroughfare a convenient and comfortable place to drop their lines, and were it not that the fish are caught and others frightened away by the daily depredations of the netters, they would be afforded fine sport. Even now weakfish are being caught by line in considerable quantities, but this is because they are unusually plentiful at present. The amateurs declare that the Fish Warden and his deputies are absolutely indifferent to the pillaging of the netters, and that the boats of the latter go up and down the Thoroughfare every day with the nets heaped on the bows in full view. In spite of their openly conducted operations, no arrests have been made this season. Some of the amateurs are staking the channel, hoping to destroy the nets. The present Fish Warden is an Atlantic City hotel keeper. Surf Meeting. The meeting at the pavilion on the beach Sunday evening was well attended. The wind being from the west, the audience occupied the ocean side. An especially noticeable feature of the ex-

ercises was the excelleng singing, under the leadership of Thomas W. Burns.

The first speaker, Mr. Rice, of Philadelphia, dwelt upon the salvation as provided for us through Christ, and es-

pecially that it is for all, without respect to persons. He was followed by Joseph

A. Hudson, of Philadelphia, who spoke of the privileges we all enjoy, and ad-

dressed in his remarks mainly to the children, reminding them of the goodness of God in giving them the opportunities of this seaside resort.

Mrs. Bash, who was especially in-

terested in the home for the reformation of criminals in Philadelphia, gave a leaf from her experience, which was very interesting, and was listened to with marked attention. A Delightful Musicale. A very agreeable Soiree Musicale was given at the Traymore last Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. George Allen, Jr., assisted by Mrs. Wade, soprano. Mrs.

Wade sang "The Angel's Serenade," by Braga, with violoncello obligato, and

gave several other selections. Mr. Allen played a number of violoncello solos, the most pleasing to the audience being a caprice fongroise, for which he received an encore. Mrs. Allen played

the piano accompaniments to both songs and instrumental solos. The guests were well represented in the parlor of the hotel.

The Colored People's Meeting.

A large congregation of colored folks and other people assembled at the Macedonia M. E. Mission Sunday even-

ing, when Rev. C. Leon Myers preached from Matthew 25: xiii: "Watch, therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour." He dwelt mainly upon the

significance of the word "watch," de-

picting the terror with which the wicked will behold Christ's advent, and

the joy of the righteous. A prominent feature of the discourse was his exposi-

tion of the truth that God does not merely punish men for rejecting sal-

vation, but also for neglecting it.

The Best on the Coast.

T. J. Cooper, a prominent wholesale grocer of Winchester, Va., has arrived

at the Wesley. He is a sufferer from sore throat, and thinks a few weeks'

sojourn here will give him the relief he seeks. Mr. Cooper says he has for

years been a summer visitor to Old Point Comfort and Virginia Beach, as well as other Southern resorts further down, but knows of no place along the

coast which can compare with Ocean City as a resort for invalids. Hence

his long journey from the Old Dominion. The Case Against Mr. Myers. An interview was had with the Mayor Friday concerning the present circumstances of the case against George Myers, who is charged with violating the Sunday law in causing his driver to deliver his wares on that day. The Mayor said the writ was returnable on Saturday the 8th, but Mrs. Myers appeared on Thursday and asked for a postponement until the 10th, which was granted. The case was afterward postponed until the following Wednesday, but Mr. Myers did not present himself. Lawyer George Bourgeois, who had been retained by the defendant, had a consultation with the Mayor, in which he requested the remission of the fine, on the ground that the delivery of food was a necessity, but this was refused. The Mayor says he will wait a few days, and if the fine is not paid he will proceed to collect it by execution, according to law. The original fine was $2.00, which, with the costs, $1.35, makes $3.35. In addition to this, however, the Mayor says that another fine of $2.50 must be paid on account of a repeated violation the following Sunday, which he observed himself, and accordingly notified Mr. Myers that he had been convicted a second time. Three Rescued at Atlantic. Life Guards Repp and Mills, who are guarding the district fronting Virginia avenue, Atlantic City, the most popular along the beach, were instru-

mental in saving the lives of three un-

wary Philadelphia bathers Saturday forenoon. Their names are Miss Florence Manship, who is a guest at the Berkshire Inn, on Virginia avenue, and Miss Florence Leeblers and E. Watson cottagers, residing at 153 South Virginia avenue. The trio were in the surf together and gradually drifted with the receding breakers into deep water. Almost at the moment when the bathers themselves discovered their perilous situation, the lifeboat was on the way to their assistance. Though it was quick work, yet when the two girls were lifted into the boat they were almost unconscious from

fright, and the quantities of water they had swallowed. Their escort was also weak from excitement and his exertions to help them. The rescue attracted a great crowd. Mercer Memorial Donation Day. In appointing Thursday, July 27, as Donation Day at the Mercer Memorial House for Invalid Women, at Atlantic City, the managers deem the occasion a fitting one for calling attention to the special claim which this institution makes upon public favor and support. The house meets the needs of a class who cannot accept charity, yet who are unable to procure the accommodations which only a hotel affords. To such persons an institution wherein may be found the refinements of home, the comforts of the better side of life, and medi-

cal attention of the highest character is a boon only to be appreciated by those who have experienced it.

The difference between the amount charged to patients and the actual cost of running the establishment constitutes the deficit which the benevolent public is asked to make good.

A Hint to Visitors.

Visitors who have suffered from seasickness while out yachting will be grateful for any simple remedy which offers relief. The following is said by a Captain Wendell, temporarily stopping in Ocean City, to be an effective means of curing the worst cases of seasickness, and of avoiding it when the symptoms first make their appearance. It consists in taking long and deep in-

spirations. About twenty breaths should be taken every minute, and

they should be as deep as possible. After thirty or forty inspirations have

been taken, the symptoms will be found to abate, and in a few minutes

they will disappear altogether. If the sickness reappears, the deep breathing should at once be resorted to. Drum Fish. Drum fish have been unusually numerous lately, and many tons were taken by visiting anglers. No bait was necessary. The naked hook cast into the schools of fish seldom missed its prey, and all that remained to be done

was fifteen or twenty minutes' scientific playing with the monster victim.

The first question asked by nine out of ten men, who see the drum fish displayed along the boardwalk by their captors is, "Are they good to eat?"

They are if you know how to cook them. Cut into steaks and boiled they are accounted by some as superior to weakfish.

A Glass of Beer for a Life. An Italian named Angelo Lucifietti, living at 220 Catherine street, Philadelphia, was rescued at Atlantic City Sunday afternoon at the foot of Mississippi avenue. He had swam out some distance when he was taken with the

cramps. Guards Boyer and Brehm reached him in their boat as he was

descending for the third time. When he was brought to shore and resuscitated, he offered the guards a glass of beer for saving his life.

Died While at Breakfast.

Benjamin Richardson, aged forty-six years, an employee at the Isleworth, Atlantic City, dropped dead on Sunday morning while eating breakfast. He leaves a wife and several children in Jamesburg, Pa. Justice Williams, acting Coroner, has empanelled a jury and will hold an inquest. Paper hanging, decorating, painting, graining and sign writing. All work guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury.

No More Poker on Trains.

Travelers to Ocean City who are of refined habits will be pleased to learn

that the game of "poker" will no longer be played on the trains of the West

Jersey Railroad, and the annoying scenes of disputing card players will hereafter be avoided. That this thing has been carried to excess all will admit. It seemed that a man could not take a seat in a train without having

several men plank themselves down in a double seat near him produce a pack of cards and chips, and engage in their bold and often noisy game.

Poker is, of course, a game that is played for stakes, and it frequently led

to bitter disputations, destroying the comfort of the passengers. It was not confined to men, but mere boys were often observed to pull out a board, and placing it across their knees, thrust down their cards with a slap and a bang. Railroad Superintendent A. O. Dayton has issued an order to the effect that this game must not be indulged in, and has furthermore instructed the conductors and brakemen to seize all chips used in card games by the passengers who refuse to stop playing when asked to. This order even precludes the possibility of playing "for

fun," for it is a well-known fact that poker necessitates the use of chips or some equivalent.

Trolley Accident at Atlantic. An accident occurred on the Atlantic City trolley road at the Seaview Excursion House Friday, which resulted in severe injuries to a citizen. Car 835 had just left the stand, and while rounding the curve the motorman noticed a man who had been walking outside the rails, suddenly turn and attempt to walk across the tracks, when the car was within six feet of him. He shouted and clanged the bell furiously,

but the man seemed bewildered, and before he could get out of the way the car had struck him in the back, throwing him to the ground. The car was backed and the man picked up and examination made, when it was found he was severely injured. He was removed to his home. No blame is attached to the motorman. A Dangerous Kind of Fun. While standing at the Third street wharf Monday, the reporter noticed a party of young men and girls in a small boat on the bay. The young men kept continually rocking the boat to the

great terror of the girls. This is a pre-

valent but dangerous practice that should never be indulged in. But it seems warnings are of no avail. The

boat-rocker abounds at all seaside resorts, and his tribe never decreases. He turns up at picnics, where he delights in drowning women and child-

ren, and he is to be seen any pleasant day on the bay terrifying his com-

panions. He is the first cousin of the "didn't

know it was loaded" idiot, and a bosom friend of the imbecile who pulls chairs from beneath people.

Drowning at May's Landing. A young Italian named Tona Disenta was drowned at May's Landing Sunday morning, while bathing in the artificial lake of the Industrial Land Development Company. The young man went in bathing in company with two other companions, and, after play-

ing about near the shore for some time, attempted to go across the lake, and,

when about thirty feet from the shore, he began to struggle and call for help.

His companions immediately rushed to his aid, and he caught hold of his

rescuers, and the three men sank, and on coming up again, after a hard struggle, they broke loose from him and he sank to the bottom. The body was recovered.

Pleasing Affair at the Brighton.

The waiters of the Brighton were Mon-

day night treated to a mark of the ap-

preciation of their services by the guests of the well-known house. Early in the

evening a four-horse coach gaily decorated with lanterns, was prepared for

them, and driving up to the house, the waiters merrily boarded it, and were driven along the beach and over the town for several hours. When they re-

turned, they were treated to ice cream by Mr. L. H. Buffington, after which they

gave a very delightful jubilee, render-

ing some favorite songs in first-class manner. The relations between the guests and the waiters at the Brighton have always been very pleasant.

Result of Stealing a Ride. On Wednesday a man who was steal-

ing a ride on an express train over the Atlantic City Railroad, jumped on the

approach of the conductor, while the train was passing Egg Harbor City.

The train was stopped and a physician was summoned. The injured man, who was found to be Henry Pruder, of New York City, was taken to the Cooper Hospital, Camden, Thursday, where

on examination it was found that his skull was fractured and he was otherwise injured. He will probably die.

Prompt Action.

The small rat terrier belonging to Jacob Schuff for some days had been acting in a strange and peculiar manner, attempting to bite all who came near him. Mr. Schuff, noticing the distemper, concluded to take prompt

measures to avert any probably serious results, and accordingly conveyed the

animal to the Seventh street wharf. He secured a heavy iron weight to the dog's neck, and threw him into the water, where he speedily perished.

gage Express will call at residences and hotels in Ocean City and check baggage through to destination, whereby the passenger will avoid all trouble of checking at railroad station. Orders for baggage can be left at railroad depot. J. P. MURPHY, Gen. Supt. JOHN REEMER, Agent.

Want the Fare Reduced.

The committee of Atlantic City resi-

dents which had been appointed to confer with the railroad companies in

regard to the restoring the old rate yesterday went to Philadelphia and waited upon

Clinton G. Hancock, General Passenger Agent of the Reading Railroad, and made a formal request for a reduction in the fare between Philadelphia and

Atlantic City to the $1.50 rate in force until three weeks ago. These gentle-

men claimed that the action of the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads in putting up the fare to $1.75 has oper-

ated to the great disadvantage of At-

lantic City and, as a consequence, the travel between the city and the seashore is much less than it was a year ago, and that the prosperity of the hotels, business houses and other establish-

ments has been affected.

Mr. Hancock, after hearing the request and reasons thereof, went into the subject briefly from the company's standpoint, and among other things said that travel to all seashore points was naturally affected by heavy exodus to Chicago, and was nowhere as it had been a year ago. He assured the committee that the matter would have his immediate attention; that he would submit the request to the Receivers and that an early answer would be given. The same committee called on the General Passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, made a similar request, and were informed that the matter would be properly considered.

Wildwood to Be a Baptist Resort.

The Baptists of West Jersey have been considering for a long time the adoption of some place as a resort for their people, and the clerical and lay delegates which had been elected, after a thorough inspection of Wildwood, and

after organizing in convention by elect-

ing Rev. Partley B. Root, moderator, and Rev. Lyman R. Sweet, secretary,

on Thursday last unanimously adopted the following resolutions and appointed

the committee to promote and complete the organization:

"Resolved, By the delegates elected, and deputed by the Baptist Churches of the West Jersey Association, in con-

vention assembled, to consider the adoption of a seaside resort for Bap-

tists, that, impressed with the importance and feasibility of the establishment within our State of a seaside

resort for the people of our denomina-

tion, and having personal knowledge of the superior merits of Wildwood, Cape May county, New Jersey, in the excellence of her beach, the unrivaled

beauty of her park, her extensive and complete facilities for fishing, bathing and entertainment, her quick, convenient and cheap access by rail, her splendid plan of development and improvement, the security of property, the exclusion of vice, the character of her people, and, withal, the liberal and valuable concessions tendered our people for the promotion of a great place of assembly, we declare in favor of Wildwood as a seaside resort for Baptists, and we, without reserve, recommend to all our associations and all the people of our denomination, and especially to the West Jersey Baptist Association, the adoption of Wildwood as their place of resort on the Atlantic coast."

Bitten by a Dog.

The wisdom of the ordinance compelling the muzzling of dogs was illustrated in a most forcible manner about 11.30 Friday morning, when the child

of Thomas Sharp, of Petersburg, was severely bitten on the hand by his dog.

Mr. Sharp is a huckster, and makes visits to Ocean City to dispose of his

wares. Friday morning his wife and daughter accompanied him, and when on Asbury avenue near Twelfth street the child attempted to play with a little yellow cur they had brought with them and which was not muzzled.

The dog, footsore and hot, with his tongue hanging out, was in no humor to be played with and savagely sprang at the girl, fastening his teeth in her

left hand. The child's screams brought the assistance of her mother who drove the animal off, and making an examination of the hand, found it was badly lacerated, and at once hurried her daughter to a physician.

When the father saw the trouble, he became alarmed, and upon advice of a citizen, secured the beast with a rope

around his neck and turned him over to the Marshal, who promptly placed him in the pound.

The Great Game. The great base ball contest between the Cape May and the Camden, held at

the former place Thursday, was the most exciting game that has been

played there for years. The special train from Camden took down a large

number of friends of the visiting team, who, together with the local attendance,

swelled the crowd to upwards of 2,000 people, including from 600 to 700 ladies.

Priest pitched a great ball, as did Mc-

Coach up to the eleventh inning, when the strain began to tell on his strength.

The fielding was very sharp and at times brilliant. Camden made no runs but Cape May managed to get two.

A Development of the Raid. Another result of the raid made by the Atlantic City police on Wednesday

of the faro den at 1005 Atlantic avenue, is the arrest of Louis Jerome, an employee of the National Cash Register Company, who is charged with embezzlement. Jerome was fleeced of a

considerable sum in the game, part of which it is alleged belonged to the company for which he was working. The sums he lost is supposed to be about

$500, $196 of which was money collected by him from Daniel Kelley, a

purchaser of one of the registering machines.

Broke His Arm. Joseph Crossin, son of Mrs. Sarah Crossin, who is spending the summer at Thomas P. Conrad's cottage, Central avenue, had the misfortune to break his

right arm above the wrist, by a fall from a porch, last week. On Monday,

the attending surgeon, Dr. Reed, applied a plaster of Paris bandage to the broken member, which allows the little fellow to play in the sand and enjoy himself as usual.
