LOCAL NEWS.

Isaac Lee and wife are visiting relatives in Atlantic county. Miss Maggie Vogt, of Camden, is spending a few days in this city.

Borough Solicitor S. C. Woodhull, of Camden, was among Monday's visitors.

Henry Gerlach, of Philadelphia, was among the many visitors here on Tuesday.

Rev. S. Wesley Lake, President of the Association, was on the Island Thursday. Miss Maggie Burley and Miss Corena Sutton spent Sunday with friends in Tuckahoe. Adolph Edwards, ticket agent of the West Jersey Railroad, is taking a tendays' vacation. Lewis Smith and wife, of Sea View, were guests of relatives in this place a few days last week. Some of our young people on Sunday attended the revival services now in progress at Tuckahoe. Miss Helen Bourgeois returned to this city Monday evening after a pleasant visit at Estellville. The mother of Thomas Cross, one of Ocean City's business men, died at her home in Burlington on Saturday. Miss Mary Fletcher, who spent several months among friends in Philadelphia, returned to her Asbury avenue cottage last week. Robert Bing and John V. Beckett, two of the leading citizens of May's Landing, were guests at the Emmett on Thursday and Friday. Miss Mary E. Lake returned home Monday evening after an absence of five weeks, visiting relatives and friends in Camden, Philadelphia and other points. Mrs. A. E. Cox, whose illness we noted two weeks ago, has shown no marked improvement. Although seemingly conscious, she has lost the power of speech.

John S. Somers, of Philadelphia, was down on Friday looking after the build-

ing of his cottage on Wesley avenue. It will be finished up with all modern conveniences. Thieves visited the chicken yards of some of our residents last week and carried off a number of birds. A second visit might be disastrous to those nocturnal visitors. F. Schmitt, who was brought home from Philadelphia suffering from grip, is now in a precarious condition at his home, corner Tenth and Asbury, with but faint hope entertained for his recovery. Mrs. Smith, of English Creek, mother of our fellow-townsman, Frambes J. Smith, intends erecting a cottage on Asbury avenue, near Fourth street. George A. Bourgeois & Son are the contractors.

Godfrey Krouse, who was removed to his Philadelphia residence from this place last fall, suffering from incipient blood poisoning, is still confined to his bed, with but slight hopes entertained for his recovery.

Rumor has it that Cupid is playing havoc with the hearts of not only the young and susceptible but the middleaged, and before the roses bloom again a number of recruits will have been added to the army of Benedicts. Harry Conver was very much surprised on going home from the Lodge Tuesday evening of last week by finding a very pleasant family gathering awaiting him there in honor of his birthday, that fact having been forgotten by him but lovingly remembered by his relatives. Miss Mattie Boyle assumed charge on Monday of the department made vacant in our public school by the promotion of Miss Julia C. Morton to fill the vacancy existing in the corps of teachers. Miss Boyle is an experienced teacher, and the School Board has been fortunate in securing the lady's services. The host of friends fo William H. Elwell, a former agent of W. J. R. R. at this place, will be pleased to learn that Mr. Elwell is now on the rolls of the Long Island Railroad. In a recent letter to a friend in this place he expressed himself as well pleased with his position. He is stationed within a few miles of Brooklyn, N. Y. John K. Linn, father of James H. Linn, who has a cottage on Central avenue, between Third and Fourth streets, died at his residence in Philadelphia last week. Mr. Linn was in the 94th year of his age. In early life he was engaged in the manufacture of paper, but later on took up the manufacture of playing cards. Two children survive him--James H. and John H. Linn, the former being an ex-councilman of Philadelphia. Rev. W. A. Massey, pastor of the First M. E. Church of this place, was married on Saturday to Miss Roxanna G. Corson, at the residence of the bride's mother, Petersburg. Rev. Pennington Corson, of Long Branch, assisted by Rev. E. B. Lake, of Ocean City, officiated. The wedding was strictly private, only the nearest relatives being present. The bride and groom will return to Ocean City to-day, and take up their residence in the M. E. Parsonage. We extend our congratulations. Wall Paper and Decorations at Philadelphia prices. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue. House, Sign and Job Painting by competent workmen. Graining a specialty. B.

THE STAG SUPPER.

The Novel Scheme a Complete Success--The Ladies Unstintingly Praise the Management.

Veni, vidi, vici. This is the feeling of each member of the Board of Trustees of the First M. E. Church, and they have grand cause to feel elated, for the success of the stag supper given by them on Thursday evening at the Em-

mett House exceeded their most san-

guine expectations, and the encomiums of the ladies heard on every side are an excellent standard by which to judge the measure of that success. The broad smiles which now cover the faces of these gentlemen are sufficient to con-

vince the most skeptical that they feel they have won a victory, though that victory was bought by aching backs and tired limbs.

Through the courtesy of the board we were shown through the dining-room and kitchen previous to the hour set for the supper, and this is what we seen: In the kitchen, which was under the management of Lake Adams, assisted by Lewis Smith, both gentlemen "up to their eyes" in roasting and baking, seasoning and basting, issuing orders and inspecting mysterious compounds, we found Prof. L. R. Thomas, the austere

look of the pedagogue replaced by that of the smiling man-of-all-work, a white apron neatly tucked under his arms, flitting here and there, trying to master the abstruse problem of how to up-

hold the dignity of of his new position without subjecting himself to unfavorable criticism when the crucial moment arrived, while close beside him stood Charles A. Campbell, who had laid aside the yard-stick and scissors, no longer puzzling his brain about the rise and fall in the dry goods market, industriously endeavoring to reduce to a creamy consistency a well-filled pot of Early Rose potatoes, his perspiring face telling

the tale of his bitter experience in invading the domains so long presided over by his wife. Then by us rushed E. A. Bourgeois, the hatchet and saw now relegated to the tool chest, armed

with a murderous-looking knife. His earnestness of manner and intentness of gaze attracted our attention; but we were soon enlightened as to his inten-

tions when he returned bearing a loaf of bread and commenced to reduce it to mathematical proportions. Phantomlike, his tall figure towering above that of his fellow workers, moved John W. Smith, depositing a pan here, stirring the contents of a pot there, wiping this utensil and passing that one to the chef,

but never uttering a sound, his whole being apparently wrapped up in the business on hand. Reuben Ludlam,

ever on the alert to see that nothing was left undone on his part which might militate against the success of the enterprise, kept the furnaces at

fever heat, and flew with alacrity to the assistance of those who got beyond their depth in the mysterious art. While we stood and wondered, imbibing deeply of the inspiration which seemed con-

tagious, the kitchen door opened and closed with a bang and the President of the Board, R. Curtis Robinson, was ushered in. He smiled faintly upon this busy scene, his face indicating a man who carried the destinies of a na-

tion upon his shoulders. A whispered word with this one, a hurried consulta-

tion with another and he disappears up the stairs where the clatter of the dishes and the jingle of cutlery and silverware told us the table was being spread. We followed the sound of his retreating footsteps and were soon in the banqueting room. Here again we found only men, who were putting the finishing touches upon the table. These were tastefully arranged, covers being laid for thirty-eight persons.

About 6 o'clock the guests com-

menced to arrive and supper was announced. From that on until 10.30 a continuous stream of people kept mov-

ing to and from the tables, about 125 having been fed during that time.

While the supper was in progress an orchestra composed of Mrs. L. R. Thomas, organist; W. E. Massey and Harvey Lake, cornetists, and Bloomfield Bartine, violinist, furnished excellent music.

When the crowd had been fed and adjourned to the parlors, Robert Fisher made an address, facetiously commenting upon man's assuming the prerogatives of the ladies. Harvey Lake and Hunter Thomas sang a humorous duet, which caused considerable merriment. John W. Smith read a selection filled with local hits, and Bloomfield Bartine gave a number of excellent imitations on the violin, which ended this portion of the exercises.

An auction of the goods remaining followed, and a fair sum was realized from this source.

Viewed from an epicurean standpoint, as well as financially and socially, the supper proved the ability of man to pre-

pare an entertainment fit for a king, and the ladies, like true heroes, were loudest and most extravagant in their praise.

The trustees realized about $66 over and above all expenses. The trustees desire us to return their thanks to Lake Adams, Lewis Smith, Mrs. J. E. Boyle and Miss Mattie Boyle and all others who rendered assistance at the supper.

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel."

SCULLVILLE.

William Jeffries is having his swamp cleared off and there are quite a number of choppers.

Mrs. Reuben Tallman is slowly recovering from an attack of the grip.

Lewis H. Lashley has purchased a new horse. Miss Lizzie Smith is home for the winter. STEELMANVILLE. Richard Ingersoll has built a wagon shed and will soon erect a large barn which will be a great improvement to his farm. Andrew Dixon and Frank Tilton have been clearing up a piece of Miss Wheaton's swamp in front of the Myers farm, which has improved the looks of the place very much. The revival service at Friendship M. P. Church is still progressing. Several conversions are reported. MAY'S LANDING. The large cotton mills of the May's Landing Water Power Company at this place will start up full force next week, after running half time all winter. Wages will be cut down considerably in every department. It is also said that the large works of the company at Millville, including the cotton mills, foundries and bleachery, will also resume operations at once.

Miss Fannie Law, sixteen year-old daughter of Howard Law, employed in the weaving department at the cotton mill, sustained a painful flesh wound to her right hand Thursday afternoon by having that member caught in machin-

ery at which she was working.

ATLANTIC CITY.

The insurance business of Gardner, Shinn & Co. has been purchased by I. G. Adams & Co., the latter assuming charge of the business to-day.

Notwithstanding Atlantic City's pop-

ilation it has never been provided with a suitable hospital, not even for emer-

gency cases. A committee of Council has taken the matter in hand, and has instructed City Solicitor Endicott to draw up a contract with J. M. Rothfort to provide a suitable building for cases of urgent necessity.

Rev. J. J. Fedigan, pastor of St. Nicholas Catholic Church, announced at Sunday morning's service that he had forwarded his resignation as pastor of the parish, which embraces two churches, to take effect next week.

The announcement came in the nature of a surprise both to his congregation and the public. Some time ago it was intimated that he was about to retire, but such was the earnest protest that it brought forth from the entire con-

gregation that it was very generally understood he would be allowed to remain. He has been pastor of St. Nich-

olas' Church for fourteen years and re-

cently the silver jubilee of his elevation to the priesthood was celebrated by a public demonstration in the Academy of Music tendered him by his parishioners. Father Fedigan said he would deliver his farewell sermon next Sun-

day and would then leave Father Herlihy, his assistant, as pastor in charge until his successor was appointed. He was going West both for recreation and for his health, probably to remain until next July. ABSECON. This community was shocked Monday morning by the announcement of an accident to Aaron Steelman, one of our most respected citizens, resulting in his death. Some time last week Mr. and Mrs. Ryan (Mrs. R. being a daughter of Mr. Steelman's), who reside with Mr. Steelman, went away on a visit to

relatives, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Steel-

man and a boy named Steelman Lee as the sole occupants of the house. On the above morning Mrs. Steeelman arose before daybreak to prepare breakfast. When the boy went to deceased's room for the keys to the barn, which is kept locked at night, Mr. Steelman asked the direction of the wind, remarking that he thought he would cross the bay after breakfast. When the meal was ready, the aged gentleman was called, but receiving no response his room was visited and found empty. They then searched the out-buildings, but to no purpose. The searchers returned to the house, where they found the object of their search lying at the foot of the front stairway, a deep gash in his forehead. Dr. Waters was summoned and upon his arrival pronounced life extinct, although the body was still warm. Mr. Steelman was not accustomed to descend the stairs where the accident occurred. It is supposed Mr. Steelman became dazed and pitched headlong down the stairs. A. S. Frambes improves very slowly. James B. Townsend will build a handsome cottage at Longport in the spring. Charles Turpin spent Sunday in our midst. Alfred Conover was in town Monday looking after his interests. Enoch Blackman was in town Wednesday of last week. He is now a resident of Virginia, where he is now engaged in the oyster business. Mrs. Jemima Lee still continues quite ill. Mrs. Annie Hammell and daughter are residing with her parents this winter.

Mrs. Lafferty, a resident of the Thomas farm, died Saturday evening last after months of intense suffering. She was formerly a Philadelphian.

Charles Conover and family, of Atlantic City, have been spending the week with George Matthews.

M. Strang has been quite ill.

Mr. Ellery Cranmer has been visiting Mrs. E. M. Townsend.

PLEASANTVILLE.

Notwithstanding the inclement weather quite a large number of our

citizens attended the anniversary of the Brotherhood of the Union Lodge of this place on Friday evening. After listening to a speech from Mr. Kendall,

of Washington, D. C., the glee club sang a song. Mr. Sheppard, of Camden, talked for a few minutes about the progress of the lodge. Next was a solo by Mrs. George Frambes, which was rendered in good style and was loudly applauded. Next was a duet by Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Sooy, entitled "Crossing the

Bridge," after which came the closing song by a quartet composed of Mrs. George Frambes, Miss Laura Reeves, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Sooy, entitled "The Lighthouse by the Sea." It also re-

ceived hearty applause. Then came refreshments, consisting of cake, ice cream, oranges and bananas, after which the floor was cleared for dancing. The music for dancing was furnished by Dr. Sooy, Miss Alberta Lake and Miss Ray Lake. After dancing until midnight the merrymakers departed for their homes, well pleased with the evening's entertainment. Mrs. Brindle is very ill.

Mark Lake, of Philadelphia, spent Sunday with his parents in this place.

Mrs. Lucas Lake is very sick with the prevailing malady--grip. Mrs. Jane Frambes had the misfortune to severely sprain her ankle a few days ago. Washington McAllister, of Camden, visited S. Reeves on Sunday.

Miss Emma Reeves returned home on Saturday evening after a three weeks' visit in New York and Germantown. Miss Josie Newland, of Hammonton, has been visiting Miss Ella Adams for a week past. There was a large family gathering at Ezra Johnson's on Sunday, there being between thirty and forty of their relatives present. Miss Ray Lake has been elected organist of the Baptist Sunday-school and Christian Endeavor Society for the ensuing year. Mrs. H. A. Reen, of Philadelphia, was visiting her twin sister, Mrs. Hattie S. Lake, this week. Mrs. Miriam Delancey spent Sunday in Atlantic City. Wesley Megronigle, of Philadelphia, spent Sunday with his aunt in this place. Mrs. Hattie Lake is suffering from a severe attack of grip.

Miss Alberta Lake spent Sunday in Atlantic City, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cole. Harry Johnson and family have taken occupancy of their new cottage. Jonas Higbee and wife, of Atlantic City, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Race on Sunday. Daniel Leeds and family have moved into Mrs. Streit's cottage. Harry Johnson, of Philadelphia, has been occupying his cottage here for a few days. Mrs. Eels is convalescing. Mrs. Hannah D. Robinson is recovering from a severe illness. Quarterly meeting services will be held in the Salem M. E. Church on Sunday next. The report widely published that D. C. Potter, a prominent merchant of this place, had fled is untrue. Mr. Potter, we learn, upon hearing that a warrant was out for his arrest took the first train for Camden to take initiatory steps toward bringing the matter to a speedy trial, claiming that the whole scheme was one to blackmail him. As the matter now stands, we believe Mr. Potter is the plaintiff and the partiest who swore out the warrant are the defendants. Sheriff Johnson was seen on our streets Friday.

A Phantom Party.

Mr. and Mrs. Ira S. Champion, Seventh and Asbury avenue, entertained a phantom party on Friday evening. The transforming of ordinary mortals into phantoms of the latest

style took place at Harry Conver's house and was of itself highly amusing. It is generally supposed that a well-reg-ulated phantom glide along, neither

walking or talking, but one of the phan-

toms of this particular night made a misstep on reaching the opposite curb and fell sprawling into the gutter.

Then from the rest of the ghostly throng came a volley of "Did you hurt yourself?" "How came you to fall?"

etc. The poor phantom was pulled up by the nearest ghost, none the worse, however, excepting that its snowy robes were a little muddy.

Each member carried something in the nature of an instrument of music, which gave forth plenty of sound if not of the highest order of musical cadence.

Herbert Smith's impromptu horse-fid-dle gave forth a beautiful accompani-

ment to Harry Conver's solo, "Down on the Swanee River" and other classical songs.

The serenade given by the party on their various instruments on entering was full of sweet sounds, which will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to have heard it. Ira S. Cham-

pion and Herbert Smith took the prize for impromptu charades. To judge by the evident appreciation of their audi-

ence, their efforts were crowned with success. Keep on, Ira and Herbert, a few more times will make you masters of the art of choosing charade subjects.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Conver danced a very complicated and amusing Irish jig together. Miss Lottie Noble favored her friends by dancing the "Sailor's

Hornpipe," Miss Ella Cronin's nimble fingers playing the accompaniment.

Fun and frolic never flagged the whole evening.

Ice cream and other refreshments were served and the guests left for home well pleased with their evening's enjoy-

ment.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS, DAILY, SUNDAY, WEEKLY.

The Press has the best possible organization to secure news from the most important sources,

and with nearly 400 correspondents in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, the State and

near-at-home news is covered with a routine carefulness of detail not even attempted by any other paper.

The Press has also the best of correspondents in all the great cities of the United States, as well as financial and railroad experts in Chicago and the West, who keep the paper more than abreast with events.

The columns of the Sunday Press are enriched by contributions from those whose names are written high in our lists of great authors, novel-

ists, essayists, as well as from men of high rank in public life. The best authors know that their

best audiences are the readers of the Daily, Sunday and Weekly Press.

In politics the Press knows no other master than the people and the past year has seen, as

has been seen before, the marked fact that it is subservient to no political boss. It has no polit-

terests of its readers, and delivers itself upon the issues of the day in a manner both frank and fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves and evading no issues but meeting them all on the basis of fair play to all men at all times. Its pages know no distinction and the rights of one class over another are neither recognized nor supported.
