ATLANTIC CITY.

Easter Day here was a flat, dismal failure. A penetrating, drizzling rain began operations early in the morning and continued without interruption. The crowds were here, but they were not apparent. Both the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroads carried some thousands down to the shore, but the people were compelled to make a virtue out of a necessity and remain indoors. The big pier, partially dismantled, was closed, and near the padlock on the gate was a skate fish, in the mouth of wish had been placed a half-consumed cigar by some wag. The Casino was deserted, and even the shuffle-boards

were idle.

Apropos of the shuffle-boards, it seems that they are the particular fad at present. On Saturday evening they were in full swing and many welldressed women, among whom were several fashion leaders of Philadelphia, skimmed the brass weights over the sanded boards. Quite a number were experts at the game and it was no uncommon sight to see a crowd around a table watching the play of a couple who were more than ordinarily proficient. While sitting in a rocking chair at his residence, Atlantic avenue, Daniel V. Paul, an old resident, expired Thursday before his wife, who was sitting opposite him reading, could render any assistance. About a year ago he was a sufferer from the grip, and, though able to attend to his duties as a builder, had not been in perfect health since his recovery from the disease. Heart failure is supposed to have been the immediate cause of death. He leaves a wife and

several brothers and sisters.

Mrs. Charles Docerts, of New York, is visiting her father, Chalkley Leeds. Miss Luenia and Emeline Evans arrived home on Friday evening from Bridgeton, where they had been spend-

ing two weeks with their uncle, P. F.

M. Riley, cashier of the Cumberland

Bank.

Mrs. Lavinia Mathis is visiting her daughter, Mrs. P. Harris, at Bakersville. Mrs. Mary Repp, proprietress of the Sea Bright, opened last Thursday. She visited her farm at Bakersville on Wed-

nesday.

Easter Services. Rev. J. B. McCullough conducted the morning services in the First M. E. Church Sunday, and delivered a most interesting sermon on the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Rev. McCullough is a clear, forceful reasoner, enunciating every word with a clearness that

is seldom met with in the pulpit, and at the close of his remarks the congre-

gation dispersed with a feeling that it was good to have been there. The speaker furnished much food for thought. The same pulpit was occupied in the evening by Dr. D. W. Bartine, who delivered an excellent discourse on "Well Doing," dwelling upon the importance of Christian parents commencing the training of their children in religious matters while the child is yet of tender years. Both services were well attended, and the choir, under the leadership of Mrs. H. G. Steelman, rendered some excellent Easter music. Presentation. A steel engraving of George Washington, handsomely framed, was presented to Iota Council, Jr. O. U. A. M., Tuesday evening of last week by Harry Headley. The picture measures 24x28 inches, and adds much to the appearance of the lodge room.

Holland, $10.00; Jesse and Reuben Rapp, $2.00, all of Philadelphia, to be applied to the purchase of hats and belts for the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company. Ladies' Aid Sociable.

BEESLEY'S POINT. Died, on the 22d inst., Harriet S., wife of John E. Widdall, and daughter of the late Captain Jacob and Esther Willets, of Beesley's Point. The funeral services were held on Saturday evening at her late residence, 2229 Norris street, Philadelphia. Interment at Beesley's Point on Sunday. Undertaker R. B. Corson, of Millville, had charge of the burial.

Newspaper Subscription Laws. Few readers or publishers of papers fully and clearly understand the laws governing subscriptions. The decisions of the United States Court on this subject are: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the postoffice to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discon-

tinued.

4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former address, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional

fraud.

6. If subscribers pay in advance they

are bound to given notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to con-

tinue taking it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment of arrear-

ages, is sent to the publisher.

The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses

to pay for it. Under the law the man

who allows his subscription to run along

for some time unpaid, and then orders

it discontinued, or orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and have a postal card sent notifying the publisher, leaves himself liable to arrest and fine, the

same as for theft.

Legal Notices. Cape May County. Petition, etc. Order. In the matter of the application of Freeholders of the Borough of Ocean City, for the appointment of a day to hold an election to fill the offices of Mayor and Pound Keeper in said Borough, said offices not having been filled at the last preceding election by reason of a tie.

D. 1894, the offices of Mayor and Pound Keeper in said Borough were not filled by reason of a tie vote for the candidates for such respective offices, and request being thereupon made that a day be set when shall be held an election to fill said offices, I do therefore, according to the statute in such case made and provided, appoint:
