The Camp Meeting. The fourteenth annual camp meeting of the Ocean City Camp Meeting Association opens on Friday, August 4th, and the prospects are that it will be more successful than any heretofore held. The preparations are on a scale

never before attempted, and it is con-

fidently expected that thousands will be drawn to Ocean City by the great event. The initial camp services will be held

on Friday evening, with exercises also on Saturday evening, but the regular

all-day programme will not be presented until Sunday morning, and will continue all week.

Famous clergymen have been engaged to attend, and an enormous sum

of money has been expended for this purpose. The expenses for a single Sunday will amount to about $75. As

high as $50 is paid one clergyman, in addition to the fare. The collections do not approach the expenses incurred.

The popular singers, the Little Ver-

non Brothers, will be present during the camp meeting, and sing at the various services. They have been drawing large congregations in Phila-

delphia at John Wanamaker's Sun-day-school, at Russell Conwell's church and other churches. Arrangements have been made with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Atlantic Coast Steamboat Company, and the Ocean City Electric Railway Company, by which tickets will be placed on sale at the Tennessee avenue station in Atlantic City, good for a trip to the camp grounds and return, for 25 cents, as already explained in the REPORTER. On Sunday, August 6th, Rev. E. J.

Gray, D. D., President of Dickinson Seminary, Pa., will preach in the morning and evening, and on the 13th, Rev. William Swindells, D. D., of Philadelphia, will also preach at both the early and late services. Among some of the other eminent ministers engaged are: Revs. George J. Burns, D. D., Arthur Oakes, Amos Johnson, Cornelius Hudson, and Lewis A. Par-

sells, of the Philadelphia Conference; and Revs. George B. Wight, D. D., J.

Ward Gamble, C. K. Fleming, C. F. Downs, J. F. Hellenmen and A. B. Richardson, of the New Jersey Conference. Miss Lizzie Sharp will have charge

of the Holiness and Children's Meet-

ings, and Rev. William A. Ferguson, of Reading, Pa., will be in charge of the

Young People's Meetings. These per-

sons have had great experience in their respective branches, and much interest is centered in this work. The Ocean City Camp Meeting Association, of which Rev. S. Wesley Lake is president, was founded in the year 1880, when the meeting was held in the woods, the preachers' platform being roofed over with brush. The next year, however, the Auditorium was erected, at a cost of about $10,000.

The ground on which it stands, in-

cluding the park, is now values at $100,-

000. The vast structure will hold the enormous number of two thousand people. It is expected to be filled during the camp meeting this year, and vast throngs will doubtless pour in from At-

lantic City, Somers' Point, Sea Isle City, Tuckahoe, Petersburg, and the

surrounding country. The Association has really been holding services in the Auditorium since Sunday, July 9th, as the exercises there since then have been under their auspices. Those who have already preached are: Rev. John S. Heisler, of Bridgeton, July 9th, and Rev. J. E. Adams, of Morristown, last

Sunday. July 16th was W. C. T. U. Day, when Miss Henrietta G. Moore, of

Springfield, Ohio, and Mrs. Emma Bourne, State President, were the speakers. The service will continue in the Auditorium on Sundays, August 20th and 27th. Bishop J. M. Walden, D. D., LL. D., of Cincinnati, Ohio, will preach on the former, and Rev. Joseph E. Smith, D. D., of Trenton, on the latter date. Should any possible accident

prevent the presence of those announced others will be secured.

Atlantic's Baby Show. A baby show on the ocean pier at Atlantic City Thursday, in which over 200 cherubs were entered, attracted 5000 people who voted to award four prizes offered for the prettiest baby, the fattest baby, the cutest baby and the best pair of twins. The first prize, a silver ice pitcher, for the prettiest, was won by No. 209 with 934 votes; second prize, gold lined silver mug, for the cutest, was captured by No. 150 with 637 votes; third prize, a silver mug, for the fattest, went to No. 147 with 627 votes; fourth prize, for twins, was won by No. 149 with 937 votes.

Fire Underwriters and Atlantic.

The National Board of Fire Underwriters has written to Mayor Wright, of Atlantic City, offering the following suggestions, as a result of a visit by the General Inspector to the city: That another chemical engine be procured for the east end of that city; an adjustment of any difficulties between the

water companies should be effected as soon as possible so as to make possible

necessary improvements in the service; that fire limits are to be established, and a suitable building ordinance adopted.

The Chatauquan Circle.

The annual meeting of the Ocean City Chatauquan Circle opened Wednesday

afternoon in the Auditorium, and was a most auspicious success. After the opening services, by Rev. C. W. Burn-

ley, the President, Dr. D. W. Bartine, made a pleasing address, which was met with hearty applause from the audience. The enrollment of members followed, and then a paper on the "Relationship between Judaism and Mohammedanism" was read by Rev. C. B. Ogden, of Mantua, N. J. This was a most

scholarly and polished essay, and showed profound learning in ancient and modern sociology. Some singing was then had.

The Rev. William A. Massey read a carefully prepared and admirable paper on "What is Buddhism," and Mrs. Dr. Palen uttered some inspiring "Thoughts

on the life of Nehemiah." The exer-

cises for the afternoon ended with the C. L. S. C. service. In the evening a concert was held, which is referred to in another column.

The character and history of the Chatauquan Circle is probably not as generally known as it should be. The Chatauquan Literary and Scientific Circle, as its title is, was organized in the year 1878, by Bishop John H. Vincent, of Buffalo, N. Y., with the object of promoting systematic reading and

study in the arts and sciences and in secular and sacred literature. It takes its name from Chatauqua, New York, which is the headquarters, and where the annual commencements are held.

Its success has been phenomenal, local circles being organized in counties all over the country, and the University Extension idea is an outgrowth. The circles meet weekly for rehearsal and recitation, and a special meeting is held annually. Students undergo examination, and are furnished with certificates of graduation. The course is a four years' one, the first graduates having completed their studies last summer, and were known as the class of '92. During this year the branches pursued are: Greek history, literature, mythology and art, ancient Greek life, natural science and religious literature. The course embraces the subjects taken up in an average college course, and in this way is given the college student's general outline in history, literature, science and art. The study of the languages and higher mathmatics, however, does not form a part of the work. The regular course embraces entertaining and instructive reading in ancient and modern history and lit-

erature, in physical, mental and moral science and in "all matters that pertain

to a true life" as the circle itself says. A first-class monthly magazine called "The Chatauquan" is published. Many college graduates, clergymen, lawyers, physicians and accomplished men and women are taking this course. They find the books used entertaining and helpful, giving them a pleasant review of studies long ago laid aside. Many of the students are over eighty years of age, and there have been altogether the large number of 70,000 pupils connected with the concern. The Ocean City Circle was formed by

Rev. J. S. Parker, about six years ago, who at that time was a member of the

New Jersey Conference. Dr. Bartine is president; Rev. C. B. Ogden, vice presi-

dent; Mrs. L. H. Swain, secretary, and Dr. G. E. Palen, treasurer. The local

assembly has about a dozen members, including some of the leading citizens of this place.

SECOND DAY.

The second day's meeting of the Ocean City Chatauquan Circle was Thursday held in the Auditorium, and another large crowd was present. It was the day for the awarding of the diplomas to the graduates, three in number, but this part of the programme was postponed until Friday. After the opening service, the reports of the circles were read, and proved

highly interesting. The election of officers followed, but so much time was

already consumed that the president's address was omitted, as well as the

Chalk Talk of Rev. C. B. Ogden. The vesper service concluded the exer-

cises.

In the evening Mrs. L. H. Swain, de-

livered a learned discourse on "The Creation," dwelling in a most beautiful way on God's handiwork as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis, and impressing her hearers with the awful wonders of God's omnipotence. She drew an impressive comparison between man's weakness and God's almighty powers, and taught her audience how frail the human race really is, and how we are indebted to the

great Creator's infinite wisdom and goodness for our lives and preservation.

THE LAST DAY. The meeting of the Chatauquan Circle Friday afternoon in the Auditorium concluded the annual session, and was well attended. The day was known as Science Day, and the services were most interesting. There were sev-

eral papers read on important topics, as well as some addresses by eloquent

speakers, and a discussion. In the evening a fine entertainment was given. The subject was "An Hour with the American Poets."

The Code of Fire Signals. The Volunteer Fire Company has

adopted a code of signals, which will consist of blasts of the whistle at the electric power house. The district

above Eighth street will be known as the first, and one prolonged blast will

indicate a fire in this district. The second district will comprise that portion of the town below Eighth street,

the signal for which will be a shrill blast for thirty seconds, repeated five

or more times with intervals of ten seconds each. Similar signals from the church or school bells will be respected.

The Case Dismissed.

The suit of the city versus Lawyer Newcomb has been dismissed by the

Mayor, on technical grounds, but may yet be prosecuted by Marshal Conver or some other citizen.

It will be remembered that Mr. Newcomb's dog was seized by the

Marshal's deputies several weeks ago, and conveyed to the pound, where it was locked up. Mr. Newcomb, learn-

ing of its capture, immediately proceeded to the pound and, succeeding in forcing the door partially open, released the hound.

A summons was issued by the Mayor and on the date of its return or

sooner, the defendant, who justified his action on the ground that the beast was taken from his premises, requested postponement, which was granted, and the time for the hearing was fixed at 10.00 a. m. Thursday. Meanwhile, the Mayor had obtained legal advice, and learned that he could not sit as judge in a case brought by the city. He

therefore informed the defendant that he had dismissed the case.

This does not necessarily terminate the matter, however, as any citizen

other than a borough officer can bring the suit and have the case tried before

the Mayor, according to the latter. Marshal Conver stated yesterday that

further developments may result, as he or some other person will probably push the charge of trespass, in order to uphold the dignity of the law, and,

as he says, to demonstrate to those who have sneered at the legal proceedings that the city ordinances are not to be trifled with. Unjust Discrimination. The treatment of Ocean City by some of the Philadelphia dailies is a matter of frequent discussion. It is well known that several of them ignore the place entirely, while one or two others allow but small space for news from this important resort. The result is that the papers in question are sprinkled with dispatches and correspondence of a trivial nature from Atlantic City, as well as Sea Isle City, Somers' Point and other far less significant towns. Ocean City could really furnish a column of news a week at the present time, but a man will search vainly for combined dispatches exceeding 500 words in length. A correspondent of a Philadelphia paper stated to our reporter last night that the seaside editor of the Times, which is one of the most influential papers in America, in a recent communication with him in reference to the suppression of Ocean City news, wrote that the Times could very well dispense with news from here, inasmuch as the Mayor had declared Ocean City could dispense with the assistance or otherwise Sunday papers. In the case of some papers, it is claimed that enough advertising is not gotten out of Ocean City to justify any but very small space. The real cause, however, in every case, is the fact of the objection to Sunday enterprise of all kinds here, and the consequently limited edition of the papers sold here. New Device at the Casino. So many of the iron rings have been

lost at the Casino merry-go-round that Mr. Adams has had to resort to a new device to save this loss. The old method of re-gathering the rings was to hold out a basket as the machine was in motion, into which the riders would throw their rings. But either through bad aim or a mischievous desire, many would throw them on the floor, where they would roll in out-of-the-way places, and often be picked up and car-

ried away.

The new method consists of a canvas curtain in one of the back corners of the place, on which has been painted a large figure of the man in the moon,

with a gaping mouth. His face is illuminated by a light behind the curtain. The riders aim at the open mouth of the face, and if they miss, the rings fall into a net below, when they can be collected afterward. Another Recuperant. Henry Oliver, a young business man of Philadelphia, is the latest addition to the witnesses to Ocean City's salubrious effects on invalids. This gentleman's vital powers have been so strained by the trying cares of his business that he recently became entirely unable to perform his slightest duties, and succumbed to nervous prostration. He was utterly unable to walk, and came down here a few days ago. So great has been the benefit, however, in this short time, that he feels as if he were almost transported to another world, and while his nervous system is gaining in strength, he is able to walk down to the beach and back to the Bellevue, where he is stopping. He is enthusiastic in his enconiums of Ocean City. A Fine Art. It is doubtful if there is as much art in any common business as there is in

that of painting. A qualified painter must have talent, and added to this a certain deftness of the hand that is pos-

sessed by but few. J. S. Rush, the house and sign painter, is one of those men who have special talent for their business, and who, by study and experience, have mastered its theoretical and practical details. Mr. Rush is about as skillful a painter as can be found anywhere, and this, combined with his always moderate pieces, explains why he enjoys such success.

All work guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury. A Thieving Servant. Jennie Moore, aged about twenty-one years, a domestic in the employ of Albert D. Ambruster, rear 713 Asbury avenue, was arrested Wednesday morning by Marshal Conver, charged with robbing her employer of money and jewelry. Tuesday night Mr. Ambruster complained to the Marshal that his servant had suddenly left the premises, and

that a well-filled wallet, together with two gold watches and other jewelry, was missing. His story was to the effect that he and Mrs. Ambruster went out about 9 o'clock, leaving the girl in charge of the two children. On returning about 10 o'clock they found the children in bed, but the girl was not in the house. An examination of the sleeping rooms disclosed the fact that a wallet containing $12 in money was gone from the top of a bureau, as well as a gold watch from one of its drawers. A visit to an adjoining room showed that a gold watch had also been removed, as well as a chain and several other pieces of jewelry. There seemed to be conclusive circumstantial evidence of the girl's guilt, and being fur-

nished with a description, Mr. Conver started in pursuit of her.

He proceeded to the bay, and made inquiries at the wharves as to whether

such an individual had taken passage for Somers' Point or Longport. He found no trace of her there, however, and then patrolled the beach and main streets. He enlisted the assistance of his brother, Samuel Conver, who knew the girl, in the prosecution of the search, and hunted about town until four o'clock that morning without finding her. Concluding that she might have fled to Somers' Point by some means, he sent a description to the Mayor of that

place. He then went back to the steamboat landing, and took the early train for Corson's Inlet.

He watched carefully all the passengers who got on at the various stations, and when Thirty-fourth street was reached he saw the girl board the same car in which he was seated. Waiting until the conductor came to lift tickets he observed the girl hand him a $5 bill,

and he then informed her that she was under arrest, and paid her fare to

Corson's Inlet, where they alighted. The prisoner at first vehemently denied the charge, but finally confessed

her guilt to the Marshal, who brought her back to Ocean City on the first train. At the hearing in the Mayor's office Mr. Ambruster appeared, but declined to prosecute, desiring her sent to a reform institution. This, however, the Mayor could not do, as she is too old. When she learned that the maximum punishment for her crime was $500 fine and ten years' imprisonment, she burst into tears, and pleaded to be released. She said it was her first offence, and she was led to steal the goods to obtain money to purchase clothing, and did not realize the enormity of the crime until it had been committed. She would gladly have returned the things, she said, when she saw the wrong she had done, had it not been for the fear of arrest. She said she had a place to go to, and the Mayor released her, Mr. Conver taking her home with him, where his wife provided a dinner for her. The following is the list of the goods found on her person by the Marshal: Two gold watches, one chain, a pair of bracelets, three pins set with stones, and a wallet containing $12. The girl has been in the employ of Mr. Ambruster for about two weeks, and was secured through an employment agency in Camden. The Concert Wednesday Night. The entertainment in the Auditorium Wednesday night was a marked success both financially and otherwise. The enthusiastic audience thoroughly appreciated the efforts of the talented artists, and continuous applause resounded throughout the evening. Rev. C. B. Ogden, the scholarly divine of Mantua, described a visit to the White Mountains, in which he delineated by drawings on the blackboard, the scenes and incidents a tourist would meet with. His portrayal of the life-like rocks was most accurately graphic, as well as the attitude the traveler assumes. This feature was one of the best that has ever been seen here. The rhetorical efforts of Miss Carey, a graduate of the Boston School of Oratory, were particularly impressive, and she was encored again and again. Her talent for declamation seems almost phenomenal, and her power over her audience is startling. Mrs. A. S. Wade rendered several of her classic solos and was met with the response that was merited. She is a singer of unusual address, and her charming voice, cultivated to perfection, was heard at its best that night.

Bloomfield Bartine is a master hand with the violin, whose strings responded

to the mystic touch of his almost magic fingers in a way that touched the hearts of the audience, and provoked unbounded applause. A Reduction Refused. General Passenger Agent Hancock, of the Reading Railroad, has written to the chairman of the committee of Atlantic City property owners, refusing their petition for a return to the old rate of fare, $1.50 for the round trip. In his answer Mr. Hancock says that after going thoroughly over the ground he is compelled to decline their request, as he does not consider the present rate, $1.75, any too high for the accommodations and facilities offered, nor does he think that a continuance of those rates will in any way decrease the prosperity of Atlantic City.
