THURSDAY, SEPT. 7, 1893. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter.

Needs Repairing. The boardwalk in front of the little cottages at the ocean end of Fourth street is a very unsafe affair, and unless it is made more substantial it will probably be the cause of an accident soon. Part of the walk is three and four feet from the ground, the boards are far apart and frail, and a person of any weight needs to tread very gingerly lest he poke his leg through the walk.

Panic in a Playhouse. A boy crying "fire" in the Academy of Music, Atlantic City, Friday night, during the play of "Joshua Simpkins," the audience of 1500 people became panic-stricken, and rushed for the exit. Miss Annie Binduer, of Philadelphia,

was pushed from the steps in the crush and was slightly bruised about the body and sustained a cut over the eye.

The cause of the panic was due to the igniting of muslin drapery in the hall-

way of the theatre by an electric light wire. Not over a yard was consumed before the blaze was extinguished.

A Story From the Sea.

R. S. Cilts, a Philadelphian sojourning at Wildwood, found a tame crow on the beach, a short distance above Wild-

wood, late Wednesday afternoon. The bird was in a wet and exhausted condi-

tion, and had evidently seen rough usage. Fastened around its neck, with a piece of wire, was a badly blurred letter, which read as follows: "Mid-

night, August 24th, just saw lightship go down; we are fearful lest all be lost. Pray for us all and may God bless

you is our prayer. This is my tame crow I set to flight, and trust it may fall in some kind person's hand."

Schooner Arnem or Anthem. Signed H. K. or R. K. The letter had been water-soaked, making it almost illegible. The bird is still alive.

Procured Licenses by Forgery.

The mass meeting held in St. Paul's M. E. Church, Atlantic City, Friday night to discuss what action should be taken against saloonkeepers, who forged the name of citizens to license applications, was ad-

dressed by City Solicitor Endicott. He said that City Council could revoke the licenses of offending saloonkeepers, and that they could also be proceeded against criminally for forgery and perjury.

A resolution was adopted embodying the suggestions made by Mr. Endicott, and providing for the appointment of a

committee to see that they are carried out. City Council will also be asked to pass an ordinance compelling the ap-

plicant for a license to pay for the pub-

lication of his petition, and the list of signers.

The South Jersey's Debt.

Logan M. Bullitt, vice president of the South Jersey Railroad Company states that the company has paid over

to the West Jersey Railroad Company the installment of $62,500 which the lat-

ter company brought suit for some two weeks since. Mr. Bullitt at that time

announced that the amount would be paid on the 29th, on which date he stated it would be due and payable.

Mr. Bullitt states that his company is very well pleased with the showing of business made so far, and with the support accorded them by the people along the line. He says the prospects are very good, and it is the intention of the

company to complete the line to Cape May and Ocean City in time for next season's business of which they feel sanguine of getting their full share.

Wants Divorce from a Vagabond.

In the absence of Joe Severns, a clever crayon artist but worthless vagabond, of Camden, who is tramping to the

World's Fair, his wife has entered suit for a divorce, and the case will be heard in the New Jersey Court of Chancery on

September 6. Under Sheriff Sell has been unable to serve the papers on Severns, but left them at his former residence. Mrs. Severns, in her bill of complaint, says she was married in April, 1885, and through the drinking habits and brutality of her husband has led a most miserable existence ever since. She therefore asks that the bonds of matri-

mony be severed.

Mr. Severns, who spent the winter of '91 in Ocean City, is well known to our citizens, who will not be surprised at the action of Mrs. Severns.

To Preserve Flowers.

Many flowers of the single varieties with slender stems may be dried in sand in such a way as to keep their na-

tural colors. In a large flat pan put twelve and a half pounds of fine sand; set over the fire and shave over the top

bits from an ounce of tallow, stirring and mixing thoroughly and adding the tallow a little at a time until all has

been used. It must be so thoroughly mixed that every grain of sand gets its quota. Then, take a shallow box and bore holes in the bottom; sift in the sand, using a fine sieve, until you have a layer of half an inch; stick this full of flowers and leaves; sift on another layer and tie on the cover of the box. Keep in a warm place for three or four days and set in a moist cellar for twelve hours. Then remove the paper from the holes in the bottom of the box and let the sand run out.

Two Frisky Steeds. A pair of too frisky steeds, belonging to Robert Fisher, thought they would try to see what they could do a mile in,

Thursday morning, and chose Asbury avenue as the course. It is not known at what point the flag was dropped, but at Tenth street they were spied, and it was evident that both animals were trying to demonstrate that they were "up to a race."

They were doing their best to beat out a hay wagon which was close on their heels, and a bunch of hay ever and anon jumped out on the backs of the sweating steeds and jockeyed them a little just to keep them in the game.

At the half-mile post the trotters were urged forward by a wisp of hay that got in front of their noses, and it was even money against the field that they would beat the hay-wagon out. Down the stretch they came, Kate, the nigh horse, a nose in the lead, and Willidee, the off horse, a fairly good second. An obstruction appeared in the stretch in the shape of Champion's lee-wagon, but the fiery, fleet-footed animals waited not, and recked not, but wrecked a little; for with a skittish twirl of the tail, and a whinny from Kate that sounded like "now for a bloomin' good bump," they knocked the lee-wagon several points to the northeast.

Continuing their flight they made a great round up and turned at the finish--Seventh and Asbury, and when the smoke had cleared away it was found that Kate had won by a nose, with Willidee second and the hay-wagon a very poor third. Loads of hay started in the race but dropped out at the quarter-post.

Tell-Tale Stomachs.

A number of cranberry bog owners of South Jersey met at Winslow Friday for the purpose of making an investigation to determine whether the berry crop was being despoiled by the grasshoppers or katydids. Professor J. B. Smith, of New Brunswick, connected with the State Geological Department, in company with Messrs. E. Z. Collings, Elwood and Isaac Braddock, and Jos-

eph Wharton, drove over to Craine's Mills, where the largest bogs are situated. There they caught a number of grasshoppers and katydids to determine the vexed question.

Professor Smith stated that the dam-

age was done by the katydid and not by the grasshopper, but a number of growers placed all the blame on the hoppers. The Professor dissected sev-

eral katydids, examined their stomachs with the microscope, and found the seed capsules of the crainberry in them while in that of the grasshopper was found only grass. The question then arose, how to de-

stroy the invaders. Professor Smith suggested that they dig wide ditches around the bogs and destroy the eggs by building fires. Thousands of bushels of cranberries have been destroyed by the voracious katydid.

Several weeks ago the bogs of Wharton and Braddock, near Ancora, containing eighty acres, were attacked by the fire worm, and the crop was completely destroyed.

Waylaid in the Woods.

While Ella Emery, a 17-year-old girl, and her 14-year-old brother, Charles were walking along the Chew road, about a mile from Hammonton, Thurs-

day, they were assaulted by four Italians. One of the men dragged the girl into the woods and attempted to [?] assault her while his companions held the boy.

Miss Emery's screams attracted the attention of Edward Gilbert, who was driving through the woods, and at his appearance the Italians fled. Constable Bertshouse chased two of the men for miles and finally captured them in hiding at Winslow Junction. Their names are Frank Ferrelis and [?] Mauerie and Antonio Copuchi.

The three men were held in bail by Judge Atkinson. The constable is on the track of the missing assailant.

September Stars.

Six stars of the first magnitude--one-half of the number visible in our north-

ern latitude--was above the horizon at nine o'clock on the evening of Sep-

tember 1st. Four of them may be seen near the horizon: Fomalhaut, in the southeast; Antares, in the southwest; Arcturus, in the northwest, and Capella, barely above the horizon between north and northeast. Vega is nearly overhead, and Altair is nearly south, at about two-thirds of the distance from the horizon to the zenith.

The Milky Way, arching the heavens in a direction nearly north and south, passes directly overhead.

The most interesting part of the heavens is towards the north and northeast. The great northern Bear, represented by the Dipper, is hear the hori-zon--in fact partly below the horizon, to the west of north. On the opposite side of the Polestar, at about the same altitude as this star, is the W-shaped figure of Cassiopeia. Above, and to the left of Cassiopeia is the con-

stellation Cepheus, not marked, however, by any bright stars. Directly beneath Cassiopeia may be seen a second-magnitude star which marks the beginning of a line of five stars, nearly equal in brightness and at about the same distance apart, which curves upward to the right and terminates in a rectangular figure, completed by the addition of two other stars still further to the right. The whole group of seven stars form a very striking dip-per-like figure of rather more than twice the length of the dipper in the Ursa Major. The first and lowermost of these stars belongs to the constellation Perseus; the next three belong to Andromeda, and the remaining three to Pegasus. These constellations have a mythological connection with one another--a sort of family relationship, which may be permitted to detain us for a moment. The story is that Cassiopeia was the wife of Cepheus, and was the mother of Andromeda. She was so vain of her personal charms as to boast that she was more beautiful than Juno, and even than the lovely Nereids or Sea-nymphs. Such vanity in a mortal was, of course, intolerable to the gods, and accordingly Neptune, instigated by the offended Nereids, sent an inundation, which desolated the coast of the kingdom, and a sea-monster, which ravaged the lands besides. In this emergency the oracle of Jupiter Ammon was consulted, and the response of the oracle was that the calamity could be averted only by exposing Andromeda, chained to a rock, to be devoured by the sea-monster. Accordingly this was done. But luckily the hero, Perseus, returning homeward after his famous exploit with the Gorgons, and bearing in his wallet the head of Medusa, arrived in Ethiopia in the nick of time to interrupt the shocking sacrifice. He obtained from Cepheus a promise of the hand of the maiden in marriage, in case of a rescue, and thereupon vanquished the monster easily by changing him into a rock by means of the Medusa head. After their death, these personages, including the sea-monster, were placed in the heavens as constellations; the sea-monster, how-

ever, was very judiciously placed in another part of the heavens.

Cassiopeia is always represented seated in a chair, holding her arms upward, the hands bent inward, probably as she held them when she made her fatal boast. This constellation is sometimes called the Lady in Her Chair, and sometimes simply the Chair. The star in the head of Andromeda forms one corner of the rectangle above referred to, and only the remaining three belong, strictly speaking, to Pegasus. But the whole four are often taken together as a simple asterism known as the "Square of Pegasus." This square is a very noticeable figure, easily recognized when once it has been pointed out, and is one of the landmarks of the heavens at this season of the year. The pair of second-magnitude stars seen near the horizon, between east and northeast, are in the head of Aries. This is one of the zodiacal constellations and it formerly marked the position of the vernal equinox. Formerly the sun, on crossing the celestial equator from south to north, entered the constellation Aries. But in the course of some two thousand years the equinox has slipped to the westward about thirty degrees--one-twelfth of the entire circumference of the heavens--so that the sun now enters the constellation Pisces,

which precedes Aries, when it "crosses the line," although it is still said to enter the "sign" Aries.

The position of the vernal equinox at present time is nearly in line with the two more easterly of the four stars that form the square of Pegasus and is

about as far to the south of the more southerly of these stars as these stars are apart.

This is a very important point on the celestial sphere. It is from the vernal

equinox that the "right ascension" of the heavenly bodies is reckoned as longitude is reckoned on the terrestrial sphere from the position of some im-

portant astronomical observatory--as from that at Greenwich of that at Washington. Right ascension, how-

ever, is reckoned only in one direction, viz. from west to east, not in both directions, as longitude is reckoned, and it is usually reckoned in hours of fifteen degrees each. About midway between Cassiopeia and the bright star in Perseus may be seen a whitish spot of about the size of the Pleiades. This is the famous star-

cluster in the sword-handle of Perseus. It is one of the finest clusters in the

heavens and is a splendid object for a small telescope. Even a good field-glass will do something toward resolving this beautiful cluster.

The great nebula in Andromeda is so often spoken of, that one may like to

know where it is, although to make much of it requires, of course, a large telescope. To the left of the central star of Andromeda are two fainter stars

which form with it a straight line at right angles to the curve of the three principal stars. This short line of stars is the "belt" of Andromeda. The ne-

bula is near the outermost of the three stars that form it. It is visible to the naked eye, and through an opera glass it has a blurred look.

The lowermost of the three principal stars of Andromeda is in the left foot of the constellation. It is known as

Gamma Andromedae. It is a splendid colored double star, its components be-

ing orange and green. It can be resolved with a small instrument.

The bright star seen below this, form-

ing with it and the star in Perseus a nearly right-angled triangle, is Algol in the Head of Medusa. It is a remarka-

ble variable star. It will, however, be in a better position to be examined next month.

Difficulty of Sailing a Boat. Watched from the wharf, a sailboat seems an easy sort of craft to manage. The wind appears to do everything. The casual guest of a skilled skipper likewise

is apt to think that as his host takes things so easy it cannot be so very diffi-

cult to handle a sailboat after all. He regards the warning of experience as based on the jealousy of competition. Let him who thinks sailing a science

which its followers try to represent as hard learn because they want to keep it to themselves take a trick at the helm once. It looks easy to keep the boat on her course. Your friend who takes you out sailing barely touches the tiller once in awhile. Some day he asks you to take

the tiller while he goes forward. He tells you to keep that spire and that tall chimney in line. You take the helm; you do what you think you have seen him do.

The chimney and the steeple act as if they were bewitched. They positive will not come into line. You observe in a knowing tone, "She doesn't seem to

mind her helm." But she is minding her helm, and pretty soon you find out what jibing means.

Most of the fatalities of summer sailing are due to the errors of the man who

thinks sailing is easy, who is confident that he knows all about it. In reality

many a sea captain who can handle a big ship without difficulty does not feel at

ease in command of a sailboat. Boat sailing is a course at the Naval academy in which the cadets undergo arduous training under the most skilled instruct-

ors.--Boston Transcript.

The Fox, the Badger and Rabbits.

The fox noses the rabbits out at times and scratches them out. As to the badger, what could be more delicate for his very

accommodating appetite than tender young rabbits? They put flesh onto his ribs after his fast--often a long and com-

pulsory one--in winter. So he digs for them in the most businesslike manner, just like a mole. He knows where they are exactly--his nose tells him that--and in less than two minutes the fore part of

him is buried. All you will see will be his hind legs working vigorously and a lot of earth moving. But he gets his rabbits. Hungry stomachs are hard to reason with. The badger is, I know, as a rule, nocturnal in his habits, so is a fox; but where the places that they frequent are quiet and secluded they will at times hunt by day for their food. A vixen and her mate at times reverse the order of things. Like humans, the woodland wild creatures are governed by circumstances. I have at different times met with the fox and the badger in spots where I certainly did not expect to see them. And when I have gone where, according to my reasoning, they ought to have been--so far as locality can be relied on--they were not there. Very contradic-

tory experiences one has in looking for wild things.--Blackwood's Magazines.

The Habit of Carelessness. In youth men are self reliant, self as-

sertive and self sufficient. Soon they find themselves mistaken, possibly in little things at first, for the fact is they are still small in knowledge and influence. Hence the chagrin of the first errancy is softened by the reflection that its conse-

quences cannot work much harm. Too often they fail to emphasize the importance of the value of their utterances as their personal influences widen. Hence their testimony without sufficient proof for themselves begins to work mischief for others. Then follow surprises, mis-

understandings, alienations, crimina-

tions, heartaches and occasionally something worse. Friendships are broken, in-

tegrity is wounded, confidence is broken, human testimony is suspected. Now all this is not the result chiefly of any essentially bad trait in human nature. It arises rather from careless-

ness and a sort of insincere habit of condoning the fault on the score of personal insignificance. "Oh, I didn't mean it!"

covers a multitude of sins among our younger friends. But, alas, "younger

friends" soon grow into midlife, and the careless habit, once indulged, barnacles itself upon age.--Boston Commonwealth.

Fortunes From Rags.

It is astonishing what immense sums ragpickers receive in the course of the day. The combings of women's hair sell at 60 cents a pound. This means $300 to

the knights of the hook. "Merinos," as they are called, are another source of profit. These are the scraps of tailors and dressmakers and bring almost $36,000 a year.

The old bones are another source of profit and bring about $100,000 a year.

The papers, corks and crusts of bread all go to different industries and bring a not less fabulous sum.

As for the election bulletins, which to the number of 1,325,000 are pasted upon the walls of Paris, they are much sought, especially immediately after an election, for the making of buttons.--Paris Letter.

It is said that a pinch of salt placed on the tongue and allowed to dissolve slowly is helpful in sick headache.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Story Writing. Mr. R. L. Stevenson says that he begins work every morning at 6 o'clock and sometimes keeps at it all day in spite of an impression that three hours of

writing is enough. "I am a laborious writer," he avers, therefore encouraging the worthy band whose motto is "Labor Omnia Vincit" and who have faith that nothing is beyond the reach of hard work. But straightway he dashes their hopes when he says, "I inherit a taste of story telling from my father, who used to tell a story every night before he went to bed."

Is not that a most unfair advantage for a romancer to take of his contemporaries, to burst upon the current story market with the prodigious endowment of descent from a Scotchman who out of mere love of yarning was used to tell a story every night? Frankly it seems a worse blow to ordinary competitive endeavor than for an Astor to take up the business of publishing magazines.--Harper's Weekly.

How Air Resists a Locomotive.

Experiments made by the scientists appointed for that purpose by the French government show that the resistance of the atmosphere to the motion of a high speed train often amounts to half the to-

tal resistance which the locomotive must overcome. Two engines, of which the resistance was measured repeatedly and

found to be 19 pounds per ton at 87 miles per hour, were coupled together and again tried. In the second trial the re-

sistance fell to 14 pounds per ton, the second engine being shielded from at-

mospheric resistance by the first. It strikes me that there is an idea for some inventor half unmasked in this item.--St. Louis Republic.

A Sign of Good Breeding.

One of the most convincing signs of good breeding is respect for other people's rights. We all subscribe to that state-

ment in theory. Yet how many of us always remember in any public place, in the street car or at a hotel table not to introduce the two subjects that are inevitably certain to hurt some one pres-

ent--religion or politics? Women are not exempt from dabbling in politics, though generally professedly ignorant of public affairs. Sometimes their speeches apropos of one's favorite politician re-

mind one of the hint conveyed in the assertion that the wasp can sting as well without its head as with it.--Chicago Mail.

Oysters Beginning to Bud.

Some oyster shells have been dredged up that, when examined under the mi-

croscope, revealed what seemed to be a heavy set, although the oysters are about the size of the head of a pin. The weath-

er is perfect for a good set, and there is no apparent reason why this should not be a good year for the oystermen.--New Haven.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Sept. 4, 1893.

Five of the exceptionally in-

teresting Dress Goods lots fresh from the factories.

1--All-wool, plain and mixed Ladies' Cloth, 40 inches wide, at 37½c.

This is a royally good make. The wool, weave, colors and finish as near to exactly right as machinery and Yankee wit can get them--so nearly perfect that the stuff can hob-nob with goods at three times the price. Always 50c. before this sale.

2--All-wool Twilled Cheviot, 36 inches wide at 37½c. A stuff for the hard knocks and rough and tumble service, either in wet or out of it. Every yard sold means so much loss to the maker and so much gain to you. Always 50c. before this sale.

3--All-wool Twilled Cheviot in two shades of navy and black; 54 inches wide, at 50c. How these goods came to us so they could be sold fifty per cent. under the regular price would sound like a fairy tale.

What odds? The interesting fact is that the dress pattern you pay $3 for to-day would have cost $6 last week.

Always $1 before this sale.

4--All-wool Ladies' Cloth, 56 inches wide, at 75c.

One of the good old stand-bys. Tumble it around, crush it, travel in it, or put it to any sort of dress use, and you will find it just right. Finest wool, carefully woven. 6 yards ($4.50) for a dress. Intended to be $1. 5--All-wool Two-toned Hop Sacking, 54 inches wide, at 75c. Brand new combinations--very similar to the nobby Scotch Tweed. It will become one of the Fall fancies. Same quality as the Ladies' Cloth, and price to correspond. Meant to be $1.

"The Price of India," Gen. Lew Wallace's new book so long looked for is ready. 2 vols, 12mo, $1.85.

A Bicycle for her at $75, one for him at $70--total $145. In almost any city of the United States you'd pay $150 for either, $300 for the two. And they'd be worth it as Bicycles go. Lillywhite's best Match Foot Balls, $3.50 instead of $5. They'd kick themselves if they knew the price. Hebrew New Year Cards and Novelties are ready. Flat Cards, 3 to 18c. Novelty Cards, 12 to 50c. Hand painted Celluloid Novelties, 45c. to $1.65. JOHN WANAMAKER.

STODDART'S STORES.

On Monday, August 28, 1893, we opened a branch store at 15 North Second Street, formerly occupied by the reliable old house

of Kelly & Brown, having purchased the entire stock, and also

added many lots bought at low prices now current, we are in a a position to offer many bargains in all kinds of dry goods. The convenience of this store to the different ferries has made it popular with people passing to and fro, and to residents of Camden and Central and Southern New Jersey. Our efforts will be to make it even more attractive than in the

past, and it will be to the interest of those not familiar with the

store to make its acquaintance, and those of its old patrons to

continue, intending to deserve the patronage of its old friends and many new ones. THE STODDART COMPANY, The Old Second Street Dry Goods House, 448, 450, 452 NORTH SECOND STREET., AND BRANCH STORE, 15 N. Second Street, East Side, Above Market, PHILADELPHIA.
