Beesley's Point School Presented

With a Bible and Flag.

The presentation of a Bible and flag to the trustees of the public school at Beesley's Point by the Jr. O. U. A. M. of this place on Saturday afternoon last was one of the happiest events that the

order has ever taken part in.

About thirty-five members assembled at the lodge room at two o'clock p. m., and, accompanied by the W. A. Manahan Cornet Band, proceeded to Beesley's Point. Upon arriving there they found assembled at that beautiful school building a large number of the citizens of that section, including trustees, teachers and scholars, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Mechanics. It was first noticed upon arriving that the flag-pole had not been raised through the misunderstanding of the committee,

but everything being in readiness this only caused a delay of some ten minutes,

and as soon as the pole was in position the flag was raised.

At the close of the presentation speech, which was admirably delivered by Ira S. Champion, the flag, 10x15 feet, was unfurled to the breeze with a loud hurrah from all. Immediately following this was the presentation of a handsome Bible, Noble Councilor George W. Everingham making the presentation in a

few felicitous remarks.

After a short speech of acceptance by one of the trustees, in which he showed his appreciation and warmly congratulated the Council on the good work they are doing and promised that the teacher (who is a Bible reader) would have the Bible read each day and the flag thrown to the breeze whenever the weather was favorable, all were invited to partake of a splendid lunch which the ladies had prepared. After a few words of thanks by one of the members of the order for the interest and kindness shown, Iota Council, No. 126, Jr. O. A. M. started for home, claiming it to be one of the memorable events of their lives.

Protests from the People. MR. EDITOR: In looking over last week's issue of the SENTINEL, I noticed the Collector publishes a list of delinquent tax payers for 1891, and among the list appears my name and also the names of three parties that never owned a dollar's worth of real estate. So far as myself is concerned, I wish to say that I don't owe the Borough of Ocean City a dollar for taxes, except this year's tax, for which no bill has been rendered. For three consecutive years the Collector has rendered me bills, and each year I was compelled to return for correction, for the reason that he charged me with taxes belonging to other people. From the first I made the proper correction and requested the Collector to alter his books so as to avoid it in the future, but the same error happened each year, and in order to obtain the corrected bills was compelled to write for them a number of times. I have heard a number of similar complaints where parties tried to obtain bills but failed, and it is my opinion that if the Collector would attend more promptly to his duties the city would not be compelled to borrow money. WM. THEGEN. MR. EDITOR: Silence is not golden in my case. While it is humiliating enough to have one's name paraded before the public through the SENTINEL, as a delinquent tax payer, yet it is doubly so when such publication is devoid of cause. This is my case, and it is the result of sheer carelessness or incompetency on the part of the Assessor. For several years I have had difficulty in getting my tax accounts adjusted with the borough, and will here emphatically say I am not now, nor have I ever been, a delinquent in the matter of taxes. These blunders are provoking, to say the least. As you have published the list, I hope you will grant me space enough to set myself right in the eyes of the community. R. B. STITES.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING. Around About Pleasantville and May's Landing.

MAY'S LANDING. A mass meeting was held in Veal's Opera House Friday night to take steps to stop the May's Landing Improvement Company from running Sunday excursions to this place. Two deer have been killed near this place and one at Doughty's Tavern within the past few days. The Legislature will be asked to order another close season of five years. The Industrial Brick Works have shut down for the winter. The building boom is growing. There is not a vacant house or store in the town, and thirty two residences will be erected by spring. While David Herbert was walking through his barnyard on Thursday afternoon he was attacked by a bull and knocked down. Mrs. Herbert, seeing the animal attacking her husband, ran to his assistance, and, catching the infuriated beast by the horns, succeeded in freeing him. The bull then made an attack on her and tossed her to the ground, injuring her arms. Mrs. Sarah J. Vaughn, youngest daughter of the late Sarah and Daniel Frazier, and wife of Captain J. Vaughn, died at her residence on River avenue last Wednesday after a lingering illness of consumption, in her 60th year. The funeral took place Tuesday. R. D. Wood & Son's cotton mills temporarily shut down Saturday night. Four hundred hands are idle. The Haunted Swing Company has filed articles of incorporation. Capital stock, $500,000. Incorporators, James A. Catheart, H. Bartlett and Isaac Ris-

ley.

PLEASANTVILLE. Matthew Unsworth moves to Vineland this week. A party was given Mrs. George W. Adams Saturday evening. The time was spent in games and music. Refreshments were served, after which the people returned to their homes. It was a very pleasant occasion. Mrs. Joseph Conover, of Atlantic City, spent last week with her son, L. M. Conover. Miss Hattie Wiesenthal, of Atlantic City, visited her sister, Mrs. L. M. Conover, last Thursday. Mrs. Absalom Doughty still continues very ill.

Mrs. Lucy Bitting, of Camden, is spending a few days with Lizzie Halsey. Mrs. Carrie Wagner spent a few days in Philadelphia last week visiting rela-

tives.

Wesley Megronigal was called to the bedside of his father, Ezra Megronigal, who is very ill with typhoid fever. Miss Carrie Adams spent a few days with Mrs. Wesley Fenton. A surprise party was given Miss Mina Clark on Saturday evening. Among those present were Maggie Boice, Bertha Ireland, Carrie Allen, Gussie Sooy, Stella Sooy, Katie Price, Laura L. Lake, Lizzie Taylor, Arthur Ryon, William Risley, Doughty Turner, Archie Willis, Sam Sooy, Rebecca Collins, Minnie Price, Lillie Adams, Mamie Turner, Mark Price, Julia Price, Spencer Price, Clark Robinson, Fred Burroughs, Eva Price, Somers Adams, Annie Taylor, Henry Price, George Taylor, Lewis Black, Parker Harris, Warren Burroughs, Alfred Ireland, Arthur Turner, Bessie Turner, Dora Turner, Edna Neighman, Job Ris-

Captain J. B. Townsend started for Baltimore Monday morning to attend to his vessel.

Quite a number attended the Presbyterian social in Walters' Hall Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.

Miss Lena Boice is spending a few days at home.

Don't forget the school entertainment next Saturday evening, Nov. 25th. A grande programme has been prepared.

There will be two farces--"The Darkey Wood Dealer" and "A Scene in a Picture Gallery." An orchestra from Atlantic City will furnish the music, and Miss

Ward, the elocutionist, will give some of her fine selections. The lady is a fine elocutionist, and altogether the en-

tertainment promises to be a success. The Christian Endeavor Society gave a social in the free reading room last Thursday evening to which the Baptist society was invited. All comers were made welcome. An excellent programme was rendered. Refreshments were served, and an evening of pleasure was enjoyed, as many a beaming face testified. The panorama gospel meeting on Saturday evening will certainly prove attractive, judging from the pictures shown your correspondent. By long-continued and determined effort the friends of the Presbyterian Church of Pleasantville have succeeded in renovating the building, inside and out. With new roof, new heater, new chimney, new carpet and new seats, a new accession to the congregation would be most agreeable. A grand masquerade party was tendered Steelman Collins and wife last Thursday evening. Miss Lottie Wolbert, of Atlantic City, is spending a few days with Miss Etta Lake. The paint brush is being applied to Samuel Bartlett's house on shore road. Captain L. C. Lake spent Friday at home with his family. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lake spent a few days in Philadelphia last week with their sons.

Lewis Carty and Randolph Adams, who have been sick for several weeks, are no better.

A grand masquerade party was tendered Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Menford last Wednesday evening. Roland Lake went to Philadelphia Tuesday. He will be employed there during the winter.

ANNUAL REPORT Of the President of Ocean City Association at the Stockholders' Meeting Held Nov. 6, 1893.

In presenting this my first annual re-

port to the stockholders of the Ocean City Association, I do it in the midst of the greatest prosperity Ocean City or the Association has ever had. This prosperity is not due to the fact that I am president of the association, but is

the culmination of certain and many forces that have been hard at work from

the origin of Ocean City, and it is very largely due to the fact that four very important improvements have recently been made--water works, electric lights, a sewer system and an electric railroad.

These are all very valuable improve-

ments. No city to-day can be regarded as up to the requirements of the times without every one of them. It is really difficult to tell which is the most im-

portant. The electric railroad will be the greatest advertising medium that Ocean City can possible have. This

past summer more than twenty-five thousand persons took a ride on our road, and much the greater part of them were from Atlantic City, and by this means for the first time they looked upon the city in which we are so much

interested, and many a one was heard giving expressions of great surprise in finding Ocean City so large and beautiful. Were it not for the electric railroad most of these visitors would not have left the boats and would not have seen

Ocean City. Many of them will be Ocean City's permanent visitors here-

after. Many thousands will see Ocean City in future years because of the electric railroad who would not otherwise see it. Only think of it! A year ago not one of these improvements was here, and the most sanguine believer in Ocean City's growth a year ago would not have thought it possible that all four of these improvements could be made in a single year. A very few, I

think, believed that even one of them would be made, and yet during the past summer all four were in full operation.

I speak of these improvements, first, because whatever brings prosperity to Ocean City must bring prosperity to Ocean City Association. Second, be-

cause all four of these improvements were made by stockholders of this asso-

ciation, and by members of its Board of Managers.

To E. B. Lake, the secretary and superintendent of this association, belongs the greatest part of the honor for securing to the city these valuable improvements. While he has had very substantial support from other members of the board, yet these successes are princi-

pally due to his untiring energy and toil.

In these improvements nearly $100,000 have been invested, which is a great outlay of money in so small a town in a

single year. Many of the houses that are now being built would not have been heard of had not these improve-

ments been made. A very prominent prson was heard to say last summer that "he never knew of such a case." He said: "Most cities, even old and wealthy ones, would think themselves

doing well if they could develop one such enterprise in a single year. To develop four was a marvel."

The summer services were never bet-

ter than this year. Not a single preacher failed to be on hand when announced, and the preaching was most excellent.

I think it is safe to say that the camp meeting was the best we have ever held. The attendance was larger than ever before, especially in the day meetings.

The cheap excursion rates we secured between Atlantic City and our camp grounds during the camp meeting week brought many persons to our day meet-

ings. I think next summer we can get excursion rates between Atlantic City and our camp ground for twenty-five cents a ticket, which will wonderfully help our congregations.

The spiritual interest of the camp meeting was very good. The preaching was earnest and full of the Spirit, and the meetings were very spiritual.

Twenty-five persons professed to find the Savior by conversion, and quite a number claimed to be wholly sanctified.

I am encouraged to believe that we shall yet see at Ocean City camp meetings of great power and usefulness.

While our summer services and camp meetings have been more expensive than usual, yet I think we came as

near paying them as in any previous year, and I feel quite confident that next year we shall be able to meet the expenses in full.

I did most of the advertising of our camp meeting in Atlantic City papers.

Rev. J. Ward Gamble, of Atlantic City, came to see me about advertising in Atlantic City and securing cheap excur-

sion rates. He said he believed there were enough people in Atlantic City alone who would be glad to attend the meetings, if they knew of them, to make them a success. The meeting was advertised from nearly all the pul-

pits of Atlantic City by Mr. Gamble and the notices that were kept in the daily papers some days before the camp meeting began gave many persons a knowledge of the camp. I believe At-

lantic City is the place for us to do the most of our advertising from the 1st of June to the 1st of September, and I think the Borough of Ocean City would do well to spend a good portion of their advertising funds in Atlantic City. There are many thousands there in summer from all parts of the country, and many of the boarders and cottagers get very tired of staying in one place, and want somewhere to go. Many others who come on a short visit want to see as much of the seashore as possible. Tell them of Ocean City and its

attractions, and they will run over and see it before going home.

I think the young people's meeting should be held every Sunday evening next summer, and that a Sunday-school should be held every Sunday afternoon

in the Auditorium, if suitable persons can be found to lead them. There are many young people and children here in summer who will not attend young

people's meetings or Sunday-schools in a church of a denomination different from their own, but at the Auditorium all will feel free to come, and parents

will not hesitate to send their children there to Sunday-school. And it will be much better for the children to attend Sunday-school than be running about the beach.

I suggest that the association keep their eye upon the building line restrictions in the deeds, and that we see to it that all persons building houses in Ocean City shall build them according

to the line restrictions. As the city be-

comes more compactly built the people will see more clearly the great advantage of these restrictions. Especially valuable is the side line restriction. It secures better ventilation, better fire protection and consequently better and cheaper insurance. I also suggest that the association, who were the prime movers in establishing Ocean City, shall continue to do their utmost to keep sacred the laws pertaining to temperance and the Christian Sabbath. There is no doubt but the rapid and continued growth of Ocean City (notwithstanding the unfavorable railroad accommodations) is due very largely to the moral

and temperance regulations. Many thousands of people have been willing to ride several miles further than they

need to have done (if satisfied with other resorts) that they might reach this quiet and temperance city, and when the two shorter railroad lines whose termini are now looking us in the face shall have entered our city we shall see such prosperity and growth as no other town or city has yet witnessed on the coast of New Jersey. I would not recommend the keeping of these restrictions for the sake of the growth of Ocean City simply, but for the best amount of good Ocean City will do for society if these restrictions

be maintained. The growth and good accomplished will be much greater if they be maintained than if they are not.

There are many thousands of people living within one hundred miles of the

seashore of New Jersey who will be only too glad to bring their families

and spend their summer vacation in

Ocean City when they shall have learned of its beautiful character and natural advantages, and when they shall return to their homes they will not go back demoralized in character or health, but will be stronger in physical, moral and religious life.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Nov. 20, 1893.

It is only by being in closest touch with the Dress Goods market of the world and by knowing exactly what the skilled

weavers of two hemispheres are producing that we can keep this great stock of woven stuffs so brimming full of whatever is most interesting.

If there is an exceptional lot of Dress Stuffs anywhere we hear of it--the chances are ten

to one that we have the first offer of it. If it would add to the interest of our assortment

it is almost sure to come here, no matter how great the quantity. Having such an unequaled outlet for the goods lets

us take whatever the manufacturers or the jobbers offer with

no other care than that the styles and qualities shall be right and the prices tempting enough.

All this is illustrated now, at the very heighth of the Dress Goods season. Wander as you will among the heaped counters, and at every turn you can

see the newest, richest, bright-

est stuffs, with the click and clatter of the looms almost echoing from warp and wool--

you can see them, not only at less prices than in seasons gone, but away under the rates of even a month ago.

Wool Diagonals, Armure Diagonals French Whipcords, Self-color Jacquards Basket Weaves, Two-toned Cheviot French Henrietta, Novelty Brocade French Natte, Bayadere Ombre Diagonal Homespun, Scotch Cheviots And so on and on. Simply as suggestive of these values this finger-long list:

At 25c from 50c. All-wool Homespun.

At 31c from 50c. Camel's-Hair Serge. At 50c from 85c. 56 inch Cheviot Serge. At 75c from $1.25. French Princess Cloth. At $1 from $1.50. Camel's-Hair Raye. At $1 from $1.75. French Camel's-Hair Serge. At $1 from $1.50. Princess Royal. At $1.25 from $1.75. French Whipcord. At $3 from $4. Figured Wool Cord. At $4 from $6. Silk-and-wool Brocade. This season's goods.

The weeks close ahead can all be marked with red letters by those who have Dress Goods to buy and take advantage of the opportunities we are offer-

ing.

Importer's price on these fine quality bleached Double Da-

mask Towels, handsome drawn work borders, has been from $9 to $12 the dozen; here they are at 65c each.

Fine quality 72 in. snow-white Scotch Double Damask Table Linen, soft satin finish, free from dressing; full range

of handsome patterns, $1.25 the yard. Napkins to match, $2.75 the dozen.

Those extra heavy 22 in. fine quality Irish Damask Napkins

at $2.50 the dozen are as fairly worth $3.50 as any Napkins we ever offered.

Wherever else these Blankets are sold, so far as we know,

they are called "All-wool;" the manufacturer himself says they

are "All-wool"--maybe he buys the yarn already spun. But the Blankets are in some respects really better because of the breath of cotton carded in with the wool--they'll wash better. Weighed in any way you please they are worth $6.50 the pair; what are they then at $5! JOHN WANAMAKER.

FOR SALE--TANK. Round cedar, capacity 400 gallons, heavy and solid; used, but as good as new. Call or address ANHALT'S HOMEOPATHIC PHARMACY 1636 Columbia Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa.

ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD?

If so, we should sell you the Lumber and Mill Work. Why? Because our increased facilities enable us to offer greater in-

ducements to you. Look at them:

First, By our location, adjoining the Reading Terminal, with a track in our yard, we save in carting both ways to the cars, and can give a better oversight to shipments not leaving our control.

Third, we carry a large stock of LUMBER well assorted to meet the wants of the trade, and a full line of Mill Work in regular sizes constantly on hand. Fourth, We manufacture all kinds of odd and fancy work, and estimate direct from architects' plans for any kind of hard wood work and interior finish.
