PORT REPUBLIC.

The farmers were quite discouraged in consequence of the continued drought; that being broken, they are hoping for a profitable season.

Main street presents a lively appearance on Sundays. Bicyclists find no better road for their favorite sport and pleasure. Several of the Atlantic City Clubs have shown themselves here with their handsome suits. What a

real blessing bicycling would be to a club that would make "position" a condition for joining. Why should men, any more than women, seek an ineligant and graceless position, displaying to so poor an advantage the form that their dress tends to improve and render graceful? Immense grasshoppers,

or long-legged grandfathers, are all they remind one of. Not a line of beauty is displayed by the ugly shapes they assume. Why should they be so foolish as to sacrifice health and all grace for the sake of speed.

Our usually peaceful town was awakened the other evening by the boys who were self-appointed avengers of a most afflicted, pious old man's

wrong, inflicted by his son. Within a few years this innocent man has been afflicted with epilepsy, which has rend-

ered him less capable of hard work which he had previously done all his

days. In consequence of this disability his sons tyranize over him. His son Joe told his father to do some work that he could not do. Joe then knocked his father down and kicked him several times, but was stopped by his sister-in-law, who came to the old man's rescue.

Against all the cruel treatment this poor old man has received from his cowardly son, whom his father has fur-

nished with a home for many years, his neighbors and Christian friends have never protested. But the boys, whose feelings have been thoroughly outraged, have expressed them with acts, both undisciplined and barbarous. One act was to throw a live snake into his room, where he kept a barber shop, shot at the snake, the ball glanced from the floor, struck the wall, rebounded and hit the barber in the back, to the immense delight of the barbarians. Next a swarm of bees was found. The bees had lost their queen, and the boys thinking that a king might do as well, presented them in full form to their prospective ruler by dashing them into his room, at the time he had a customer half shaved in the chair.

The climax was reached when they as-

sailed the house with stones, clubs and various other missiles, breaking his windows, and making the splinters fly around his head pretty lively. The barber appearing at the door, was a signal for redoubled efforts on the part

of these dreadful boys, for a perfect storm of stones, pieces of bricks, etc., were hurled at the hated visage at the door. Only one sympathizer did the poor barber get. One man, either from a fellow feeling, or pure kind-

ness of heart, appeared upon the scene with a dark lantern, turned the light upon, as he supposed, the faces of the frolicsome youths, but their heels being where their faces were expected to be, that part of their anatomy only was visible. His sympathy availed the poor barber but little; the persecutions continued till he was forced to pick up his tools and what other things he could carry, decamp, lock up the shop and get home, the dark lan-

tern's presence serving to prevent a coat of tar and feathers. Poor Joe had the satisfaction of hearing the heathen's call after him. "Next time you lick your father, John Gilpin will be there to see."

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

How the Day Will Be Celebrated in Ocean City--Bicycle and Foot Races During the Day, and a Grand Display of Fireworks in the Evening.

Preparations for the Fourth of July celebration are now under way, and the gentlemen composing the committee promise a grand display of fireworks on the strand in the evening.

The business men will be called upon to contribute toward the defraying of

expenses, and we hope there may be such a hearty response that the committee will not be hampered in carrying out their arrangements.

During the day there will be bicycle and foot races, and in the evening there will most likely be a parade, closing with the fireworks display.

As the expense attending the day's celebration will be large, those of our cottagers who may feel disposed to make a contribution for that purpose can do so by addressing the Chairman

of the Committee, Harry L. Conver.

As this will be the first attempt at a public exhibition of this nature in Ocean City, the citizens should vie with the committee in making it a memorable occasion.

The pyrotechnic display will be in charge of a gentleman well versed in the business.

Sayer Gets The Appointment.

Much satisfaction was expressed on Thursday, when it became known that the name of Richard W. Sayre has been sent to the Senate by the President for

postmaster at Atlantic City. The other two candidates were John M. Campbell and Michael A. Devine, both Roman Catholics, who had fought Sayre, who is a Protestant, very largely on account of his religion. Mr. Sayre was recommended by Senator McPherson.

Will Attend Church in a Body.

The Junior Order of American Mechanics will attend divine services in a body at the First M. E. Church on Sunday evening next, when Rev. L. O. Manchester will deliver a patriotic ser-

mon. It is to be hoped the Mechanics will be present in large numbers.

Left for New York. Mrs. Ella Scattergood, who has been spending some weeks with her aunt, Mrs. Ida M. Scattergood, Central ave-

nue, for the benefit of her health, has been much benefitted by her sojourn.

The lady left for New York City Sunday, where she will join her husband.

To Raise Funds.

This is the night of the Bazaar at the Adams' Casino. Those who desire to help along a good cause should be present. The merry-go-round has been placed at the disposal of the trustees by L. G. Adams. The proceeds of the evening's entertainment will be used to

defray the expenses of the First M. E. Church.

Services Resumed. The Macedonia M. E. Mission will hold regular services in Steelman's Hall commencing next Sunday. Sundayschool at 3 P. M. Preaching at 4 and 8.15 P. M. All are cordially invited. Services will be conducted by Rev. J. Edward Gunby. WANTED.--Four live boys to serve the DAILY REPORTER. Applications received at the SENTINEL office.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. OCEAN VIEW. Temperance meeting was held in the M. E. Church on Wednesday. Dr. Warner Eddy and wife, of Milan, Ills., arrived at his father's house on Thursday, where they will make a lengthy visit for the benefit of his health. Miss Annie Powell, of Tuckahoe, was with her sister, Mrs. Frank Gandy, a portion of last week. Ice cream is now sold by Wood Smith on Wednesday and Saturday evenings of each week.

The Christian Endeavor Society held its regular weekly meeting at the home of Miss Lizzie Smith.

On account of quarterly meeting at Beesley's Point, there was no preaching service in the M. E. Church Sunday.

Edward Coleman, of Camden, and Dr. Ralph Buck, of Sea Isle City, were visitors here on Sunday.

CAPE MAY CITY.

The voters of Mount Vernon are circulating a petition asking for a special election for July 10, at which they desire to decide on separating from West Cape May Borough. The immediate cause of the desire was brought about by last September's storm, when the Mr. Vernon beach drive was damaged to the extent of $3000, and West Cape May refused to rebuild it.

The South Jersey Railroad tracks were laid into this city Thursday after-

noon. Four years ago the first effort was made to construct the road under the name of the Philadelphia & Seashore Railroad. It was built as far as Tuckahoe, and then met with financial embarrassments. A receiver was appointed and the West Jersey Railroad bought it. Later on it was bought by the present owners who completed it to this city.

There is going to be lots of entertain-

ment here this summer, and the series of five Sunday evening concerts to be given by the cottagers' fund is an assured fact. The subscriptions are now large enough to have the arrangements made.

The St. John Protestant Episcopal Church, supporter by Philadelphia visitors, has been opened for the summer. The Fourth of July Committee is hard at work preparing for the coming celebration. The committee is composed of Mayor James M. Hildreth, Senator Lemuel E. Miller, Coroner Francis K. Duke, William F. Williams, A. C. Gile, Hon. A. B. Little, Nicholas J. Griffin, ex-Senator Walter S. Leaming, exMayor Frederick J. Melvin, ex-Post-

master F. L. Richardson, Jacob Beck, William Porter, Reuben Cohen and Benjamin F. Poinsett.

The First Regiment contemplate a visit to the Cape, and the City Council hearing of this passed appropriate resolutions extending the freedom of the

city to that organization.

The base ball park was completed last week, and now the grand stands are being put in good order. The Cape May team will be a leading attraction again, this time with George Reese as captain.

Worth Trying. MR. EDITOR:--An experiment tried recently, may be of some service to your readers.

Since all the mosquito holes have dried up except one on my place, I have followed the advice lately given in print, and used coal oil to kill the mosquito pests. A place about ten feet wide and several inches deep was literally full of the insects in the stages of formation, from the little black point to the full-fledged creature that would rest a few seconds on the surface of the pool and then rise and join the countless throng, buzzing in the atmosphere.

I poured on the surface of the pool about a gill of oil, and in an instant the water was alive with little fish of va-

rious kinds, among which were a large number of eels, about ten inches in length. The fish were acting like re-

velers in a drunken frenzy. The next day I visited the place again, and while the fish were still alive, not a trace of

the mosquito could be discovered in the water, but few in the vicinity. The cost was small--the object accomplished perfect.
