CHILDREN'S DAY. How It Was Celebrated in Ocean City--Birds and Flowers added to the Charming Scene.

Children's Day was observed with great eclat in the First M. E. Sundayschool on Sunday last. The services of the day were given over to the young people, and how well they improved the occasion the following programme will attest:

During the meeting, short addresses were made by Rev. L. O. Manchester, pastor of the church; B. F. Sanderlin and Rev. E. B. Lake. In addition, the ordinance of baptism was administered, there being three candidates.

The evening's services were opened with an organ voluntary by Miss Emma Lee, followed by congregational sing-

ing, led by the orchestra. After prayer had been offered by Rev. L. O. Manchester, the responsive service followed. Recitation, Alice Watson; recitation, Cora Somers; reading, "Rock of Ages," Emma Everingham; duet, Amy Thorn and Landen Ang; recitation, Hiram Steelman.

At this point in the exercises, the secretary of the school read the financial report of the classes.

Music, orchestra; exercises, eight little girls; recitation, Ida Adams; exercises, seven girls; music, orchestra; address by Rev. L. O. Manchester. The doxology and benediction closed the exercises. Much praise is due Miss Lizzie Kates, teacher of the infant department of the school, for the paints taken in training the little ones under her care, which was evidenced in the manner in which the little folks acquitted themselves. The manner in which Amy Thorn and Linden Ang rendered the duet

sung by them, calls for more than mere mention of the fact. The voca-

lists, though of tender years, sang with a distinctness and regard for time not often noticed in songsters of more ma-

ture years, and the smiles which illuminated the faces of the audience was proof of their appreciation of the little ones' efforts.

Special mention is also due the orchestra for the interest they maintained in the services, and for the excellent music rendered. The superintendent desires to express his gratitude to the school and church, and also to the congregation for their presence and heart co-operation in the exercises and their liberal contributions, which amounted to $18.

The church was handsomely deco-

rated with American flags, and the pulpit platform was a veritable flower garden. Two canary birds added their sweet notes to make the occasion more joyous.

The congregation present to witness the services is said to have been the largest ever gathered in the church upon any previous occasion.

Cremated Her Hat. One of our lady summer visitors had "a love of a hat" accidentally incinerated a few days ago. It happened in this wise: While promenading the board-

walk last week, the a gust of wind uncere-

moniously tore the hat from the lady's head and carried it out into the ocean.

The lady's youngest daughter seeing her mother's dilemma, solved the ques-

tion, and quickly removing her shoes and stockings waded out and soon returned with the truant hat. The mother's heart bounded with joy, and

the daughter received her reward in caresses and praises for her heroic rescue of the much-praised headgear.

The recovered treasure, water soaked and limp, was carried home, and when the question discussed, one bright mind suggested placing it in the oven of the

range. This brilliant idea was hailed with glad acclaim and voted just the plan. The hat was then placed in the oven, and peace and contentment once

more reigned supreme. But, alas? Joy was but short lived. The range was called into use the following morning,

and soon a roaring fire gladdened the heart of the good house wife, as she thought of the savory viands which would soon be "done to a tune." One by one the members of the lady's house-

hold descended to the kitchen, and ere long consternation was visible upon the faces of the assembled family, as one and all simultaneously discovered the odor of something burning. A rigid

examination of the cause of alarm disclosed the fact that the hat had not been removed from the oven and it was a mass of charred ribbon and straw.

The ashes were consigned to a neighboring lot amid the lamentations of the female portion of that family.

A New Store. Mrs. A. C. Knorr, of Philadelphia, through the agency of R. Curtis Robinson, has rented the middle store of John R. Kendrick's operation on As-

bury avenue, above Eighth street, and will open about June 20th with a select stock of gentlemen and ladies' furnish-

ings and shoes. She expects to do a first-class seaside business, and will have one of the prettiest stores on the beach when fully occupied.

gage Express will call at residences and hotels in Ocean City and check baggage through to destination, whereby the passenger will avoid all trouble of checking at railroad station. Orders for bag-

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

BRIGANTINE.

Counsel for the Holland Trust Com-

pany, of New York, on Wednesday made an application for the appointment of a Receiver for the Brigantine Beach Railroad Company, and Judge Carrow, of Camden, was appointed as Receiver.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Little Bessie Harris, daughter of Joseph Harris, who lives at 1607 Atlantic avenue, met with a very painful accident Thursday afternoon. Near California avenue on the promenade, her hat was blown off by a sudden gust of wind, and in her efforts to catch it she lost her balance and fell to the sand beneath. The fall dislo-

cated her left ankle. The patrol wagon was called and she was taken to her home. Dr. Thompson attended to her injuries.

BAKERSVILLE.

Miss Pauline English is very ill. Mrs. Charles Campbell and Mrs. James C. Scull and children were the guests of Mrs. Jane Homan on Monday. Captain John Burroughs spent a few

days with his family. Mrs. Burroughs has now gone to stay with the Captain while he is loading.

Allen Scull, of Ocean City, gave his father a handsome gold watch.

Mr. and Mrs. Erskine are visiting their children.

Mrs. George A. Murray spent a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Homan.

The whooping cough is quite bad in our vicinity.

Mrs. L. C. Lake and daughter, Miss Boice, Mr. Risley and Mr. Martin were the guests of Captain Burroughs on Sunday. Fred Burroughs and Lewis Block rode to Atlantic City on their wheels on Saturday.

LINWOOD.

Children's Day services were well attended at Central church. The decorations were both elaborate and artistic. The recitations and singing were well rendered by the school. Lewis Bryant gave an address in the evening on the future church. Theodore Reed is visiting his father at this place.

Willard Risley and wife are spending some time in Atlantic City. Mr. Risley does not improve very fast. We are glad to learn Mrs. James Hunter is improving. Mrs. J. Wright and sister, of Atlantic City, were the guests of Mrs. A. M.

Adams on Sunday.

Ira Smith, our new barber, is doing

well.

A regular monthly business meeting of Christian Endeavor will meet at the home of Miss Louie Price on the evening of June 14th. Let all members attend who can.

On Sunday last at the home of Capt. John Sanders a quiet home gathering was enjoyed by the children and grandchildren. A new family from Atlantic City have moved in town and have opened a general notion store. PORT REPUBLIC. Miss Alice French is improving slowly. There is no necessity for accidents of this kind. Carelessness on the part of the men who drove the New Gretna team was the cause. Twenty-five bicyclists drove their

wheels, with more or less speed, through Port last Sunday. The pleasure seems to strike every one who can afford a wheel. This may be a benefit in some ways, but in others demoralizing. The triplets, of whom we are so proud, are all growing and likely to become as great as their names indicate. Mrs. Fenton's mother is improving in health. Mrs. Bowen and daughter-in-law returned home from Philadelphia last week.

Miss Eva Bowen returned last Satur-

day after having spent a most enjoyable visit with her many friends. She reports having called on Miss Marette and found her jolly but brain and hand full of work. Children's Day was one to be remembered. The church was beautifully decorated. The pieces, all of which were finely rendered, deserves special mention, but time forbids. The pastor's remarks were peculiarly appropriate. We hope to see all these children grow to manhood and womanhood to regard the teachings of their youth and re-

member the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.

MAY'S LANDING.

Schooner S. S. Hudson, Captain D. F. Vaughn, cleared the port of Pigeon Cove, Mass., Thursday for Philadelphia, laden with paving blocks.

Bark Jennie Sweeney, Captain S. S. Hudson, cleared the port of Pascagoula, Miss., Thursday for Philadelphia, laden with lumber.

The programme for Children's Day exercises in the Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday evening, was more elaborate, and in point of beauty far ex-

ceeded all other services of previous years. The programme was entitled "The Church of the Future."

The decorations formed a part in the exercises, and consisted of a large facade built upon the pulpit platform. The top of the building was supported by six round columns eight feet high, painted pure white, with a white dove in the triangular space between the sides of the roof. On each column hung a large Maltese Cross, each of which contained in gold and fire flitter the names of the various mottoes which glittered and spangled in the light. Above each cross hung the emblems appropriate to the motto beneath, and were brought upon the platform by the several speakers to be hung in their place. For instance, the cross marked "Love" had two hearts. Two axes represented "Aggressive Work." Two swords told of "Social Reforms." A circle of band of gold represented "Equality." A star hinted of the "Rising Young." Two trumpets were characteristic of "Leaders." Nearly every department of the school was drawn upon to complete this, the most attractive of all Children's Day services.

PLEASANTVILLE.

Miss Lizzie Halsey spent a part of last week in Atlantic City as the guest of F. Fields and wife. Rev. W. B. Crowell, pastor of the Baptist Church, returned home from Crozier's Theological Seminary for the summer, having passed the examination with high honors. He expects to

ing a very handsome bicycle, the gift of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Lake.

Children's Day was well observed in the churches Sunday evening. All had large congregations. Miss Katie Hackett, of Camden, spent Sunday with her parents, Constant Hackett and wife. A great many were made sad by receiving word of Henry Gifford's death caused by typhoid pneumonia. He was a former resident of this place, but at the time of his death he resided in

Camden. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss.

tist Church held a social at the residence of Ezra Mathis Monday. Quite a number were present.

Charles Rogers, of Philadelphia, is here instructing Charley Johnson in the painting business. Harry Gifford, formerly of this place, died last Saturday at his home in Camden.

THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS disbursed by us recently in payment for DRY GOODS are being rapidly returned to us by our customers. The Reason is found in the fact that the general depression did not cause us to stint stocks, or to purchase goods of inferior quality and faulty manufacture. On the Contrary our buyers, as usual, were sent to the best markets of the world, with instructions to buy the newest and choicest goods as freely as heretofore. Our Invariable Custom of paying prompt cash brings to us unequalled offerings of choice lots at unusually low prices. That the complete stocks, the choicest styles, the exceptional qualities, and the EXCEEDINGLY MODERATE PRICES are fully appreciated by the people, is amply demonstrated in the activity that prevails at the counters, and the ever-increasing number of Mail Orders. Illustrated Catalogues--to be had for the asking--bring you in close touch with many departments.
