Hilton's Lamentations.

On the 9th instant Gus Hilton, Fish and Game Warden of New Jersey, wrote a communication to the REPORTER which was printed in these columns on the 13th, the first opportunity that

presented itself for so doing, the letter not having reached this office

until the 10th and the press of Sunday

religious intelligence crowding it out of

the Monday issue of the 12th. Hilton

without waiting for this exhibition of fair dealing "took his pen in hand," and wrote, in his usual ungrammatical and mispelled style on the 11th instant, a screed which was printed in the Cape May County Gazette of the 16th instant, and which the careful editing of the

Gazette editor prevented from creating disgust from the display of ignorance

which Hilton would otherwise have made. The purpose of this writing, however, is not to play the school master for Hilton. There is a school-

house presumably at Anglesea, and Hilton will do well to avail himself of the opportunity it affords him of learning

how to write and spell, and this suggestion is given gratuitously. It would require a wide stretch of

the imagination to consider as an argu-

ment Hilton's lamentation respecting the reasonable criticism in the RE-

PORTER on his manifest neglect of duty as Fish and Game Warden so far as

Ocean City is concerned. The simple

question at issue is whether or not

illegal seine fishing is carried on in the thoroughfares of this harbor, thereby destroying the delightful and healthful sport which gentlemen come long distances, and at some

considerable outlay, to enjoy. This, of course, involves another question. Does Hilton discharge his

duty as it should be done? Every

other point raised, such as the laudable

ambition of the editor of THE REPORTER to serve the people in any public capacity they may think him capable of filling, and the act of official discourtesy which Hilton pleads guilty to, is merely a blind, and in nowise connected with the charges made. The information that Hilton, of Anglesea, was neglecting his duty, came to us from the most reliable sources. It was not said that all seine fishing was illegal, for it is well known that fishing with twenty-five fathom nets is allowed. The statement was made that the fishing was carried on with nets of greater, illegal, size. Hilton's infrequent visits do not justify him in saying that such is not the case, and cannot be accepted as a refutation of the statements of C. E. Edwards, Winfield S. Baer and other gentlemen in this city who are much interested in the sport of fishing. Further, the members of the Yachtmen's Association have repeatedly declared that illegal fishing is carried on, and who are better qualified than they to know? Hilton says he has been in Ocean City "several times!" What does he mean? Two or three times during the season, or a dozen times. If he came only once, and took the trouble to let the pot-hunters know that he was watching them, that they could not carry on their illegal business, that would be all-sufficient. On the other hand, he might come here a dozen times, and for all the good his visits resulted in he might just as well

have gone to Philadelphia.

It is not the business of THE REPORTER to play detective for the Fish and Game Warden. He enjoys the emoluments of the position and should make effort, besides attempting to write letters on highly ornamented letter paper to ferret out the law-breakers. The people don't care what kind of paper he uses. They want him to do his duty. Calling a man who exposes his dereliction of duty a would-be dictator is silly. The neglectful official always seeks to screen himself from public contumely by such nonsensical subterfuges, and

the public are quick to see the weakness of his excuse. It has been said "fools rush in where angels fear to tread," and that Hilton is no angel in the eyes of the fish-hunting gentlemen of Ocean City and vicinity, can be readily ascertained by inquiring of them "What do you think of the Fish Warden's manner of discharging his duty in these waters?"--Ocean City Reporter.

The Camp Meeting. The projectors of the camp meetings, the initial services of which were begun Thursday, must feel great gratification over the manifold assurances of success that are already abundant. There is, apparently, a widespread interest in the revival, and the results will, it is believed, fully justify the expectations of the gentlemen who have the management of it. At the afternoon services there was a congregation of fair dimensions; but the evening meeting gave the real cue to the enthusiasm that exists, to the awakening of religious fervor, and the attractions afforded by the presence of the celebrated evangelist, Rev. Thomas Harrison. It was an outpouring in numbers and devotion, such as is only seldom witnessed, and at once set the seal of genuine approval upon the movement. A prettier scene, a more impressive picture, than that presented in the Young People's Temple Thursday night it would be difficult to conceive of. The handsome edifice was filled beyond its utmost capacity, and numbers, unable to gain admission, stood in the doorways and on the Auditorium grounds around the building, listening to the exhortations and the singing, in which latter many even joined, raising their hearts and voices in prayer and praise of the Almighty One for his great blessings. The temple is admirably constructed, so that its large congregation is concentrated, and every lisp of prayer, every eloquent utterance of the orator, si distinctly audible. Its beautiful grained ceiling was illuminated with numerous incandescent lights arranged along the lofty, wide-stretching girders, and converging toward a point directly over the centre of the hall, where a cluster of lights formed, as it were, a brilliant bow up to the shining tracery. The stained-glass windows handsomely harmonized wth the simple yet tasteful and beautiful finishing and lent that devotional appearance to the interior which is inseparably and indispensably characteristic of places of worship. Especially noticeable was the window at the rear of the platform, which contained a life-size picture of Christ in the highest style of art. Underneath the figure were the consoling words, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden."

The opening services commenced at

3 p. m. Rev. S. Wesley Lake, Rev. Thomas Harrison, Rev. M. E. Snyder, of Moorestown M. E. church, and Rev. Mr. Ludlow, of the New Jersey Conference, conducted the services, with J. R. Grier as leading singer, and Miss Maggie Vogt as organist.

After the hymn, "Hear and answer

prayer," was sung, Rev. Mr. Ludlow

offered prayer, invoking God's blessing on the camp meeting and upon the minister who would preach, that his words might reach the hearts of his hearers and bring forth good fruit. He asked God to inspired the preacher so that he might be able to inflame their

hearts with the fire of divine love and bring about such a revival of faith in the power of Jesus to save that sinners

would rush to his mercy seat beseeching to be received as penitents, and that

those who were already saved would gain renewed strength to persevere in

the service of the Master. He implored God to bless the president of the Association for his devoted efforts for the promotion of God's work, to bless Evangelist Harrison, who had come here as the messenger of Christ, to

raise his standard still higher, and to leave such rich and saving lessons of

salvation among us as would redound to the greater glory of God and the eternal happiness of all the faithful

followers of Christ.

Mr. Grier led the congregation in one of those melodious hymns which reach the heart, and placed every one in a

mood for thanksgiving.

Rev. M. E. Snyder then delivered the sermon of the day, prefacing it with a

brief review of the origin of the Temple,

and according to the Association and Rev. S. Wesley Lake especially great praise for conceiving and carrying out such a worthy object, designed for the use of the young people in whom Mr. Lake always manifests intense inter-

est. It was a structure, Mr. Snyder said, of which any city might well be proud, and for correct construction suitable for its purposes, capcity and beauty there was nothing to surpass it.

Rev. Thomas Harrison followed in a eulogy of what he called the new departure, the Young People's gatherings. He said it was quite apparent that the spirit of God was upon and with them in this revival, and he did not d oubt that hundreds would be led to seek and find Christ during the meetings. When the bell tolled for the evening meeting every avenue leading to the Temple bore its crowd of eager enthusiasts, principally young people, in which the ladies predominated. It did not take long to fill every seat, and standing room only was available for the late comers who had to content themselves with positions in the open doorways and outside near open windows to listen to the words of prayer and praise, participating therein. The atmosphere, despite the crowd, was delightfully cool, testifying to the foresight of the designers of the building, who have paid great attention to its ventilation and have secured that much-desired result for a summer place of assembly in a marked degree. A preliminary hymn which floated out on the calm evening air melodiously led the way to the opening prayer, which J. R. Grier made with pious and emphatic utterance. He prayed for a blessing for all concerned in the meeting, upon the leaders and the congregation, and hoped that the results would be far-reaching in their beneficence so that everyone would feel and be governed by the Spirit. He animadverted upon the growing tenency to frivolous amusements and declared that "progressive euchre" Methodists were but poor specimens of the followers of Christ. He urged the co-operation of all, in order to secure the greatest good out of the ensuing season of religious revival. If good did not come it would be their own fault, and he hoped that the spirit of God would direct and control them in their devotions.

Rev. Mr. Harrison suggested the hymn, "We Have an Anchor." It was sung with a heartiness, showing how fully all appreciated the sentiment. Rev. Wallace MacMullen's clear, resonant voice was then heard in prayer. He spoke of salvation, saying that the anchor of CHrist held us fast to heaven and if we really believed in the thoughts expressed in the hymn, there was no room for misgivings as to the attainment of salvation. He hoped that before leaving the building everyone would feel sure of salvation. He prayed God to fill their souls with gladness, full of the fire of the Holy Ghost, and that he would bless all, especially the brother who had come amongst them with the honor and renown of having done so much for the cause of Christ. Rev. Messrs. Spencer and Ferguson delivered brief addresses. Epworth League Day, at the Young People's Temple, was well observed. Large audiences attended all the services, and much enthusiasm was manifested. The morning services brought out a fair-sized gathering, who indulged in songs of praise and joined in fervent prayer. Rev. H. J. Zelley preached an excellent sermon on the text, "Give me that mountain," illustrative of the faith, unselfishness and courage of Caleb, whose character was held up as an example for Christians, who were urged to cultivate these virtues which made Caleb so acceptable to God. At the afternoon meeting the Rev. Dr. J. Mace, pastor of the Central M. E. church, Bridgeton, N. J., who was to preside, was absent, owing to sickness in his family. His place was ably filled by Rev. Ransom Harvey, pastor of the Third Baptist church, Germantown, Pa. His discourse, which was most interesting, was based on the text, "The Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, a plumb line, And he said, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people." Twilight services were held at 7 o'clock by Rev. W. A. Ferguson, pastor of Siloam M. E. church, West Philadelphia, who has had charge of such meetings for several years. They were largely preliminary to those that shall follow every evening at the same hour. Rev. L. O. Manchester, pastor of the First M. E. church, Ocean City, led the congregation in prayer. Many hearty "amens" were heard as this popular divine eloquently prayed. All eyes were turned toward Mr. Harrison as he arose to preach. The sermon was his first at this year's meeting. His text was from Ezra, viii 22: "The hand of our God is upon them for good that seek him, but His power and His wrath is against them that forsake Him," and as is usual with the evangelist, was not announced until the close of the sermon. It was thrilling to hear Mr. Harrison tell of his conversation with Henry Ward Beecher in the hallway of the latter's home in Brooklyn shortly before his death. The great pulpit orator was at the time especially solicitous for a revival in Plymouth church, and as he stood in the hallway made confession to Mr. Harrison of the passion of his soul. Mr. Harrison then told the congregation of the result attending the mettings held by Mr. Beecher, and why they were not successful. He said that there can be no revival when Sinai is not preached.

There was no morning service Saturday. In the afternoon, Rev. Ravil Smith conducted the services, preaching a sermon on "Salvation."

The Sunday services began with a love feast, at 9.30 a. m. The usual ser-

vices were held in the Auditorium.

Rev. Mr. Elliott preached in the morning, and Rev. Thomas Harrison con-

ducted the evening services.

A gathering of the Young People took place in the Temple at half-past three o'clock Monday afternoon in

response to an invitation from Rev. W. A. Ferguson. After a season of song and prayer, a business meeting was organized for the purpose of giving concerted action to promote the Camp Meeting by choir singing and kindred work. It was decided to call the

organization the Society of King's Templars of the Ocean City Camp Meeting. An election of officers resulted in the selection of Rev. W. A. Ferguson as president, Miss Carson, treasurer, and Miss Kauffer, secretary. A music committee was appointed, consisting of H. Harrison, chairman, the Misses Vogt, Alice Risley and Carson.

The last meeting of the Young People's camp in the Temple, Monday night, was well attended. It consisted of songs, prayer and exhortations, in which Rev. J. R. Grier, Rev. S. Wesley Lake and Evangelist Harrison participated prominently. Regular camp meeting began Tuesday, and will continue until the 30th instant. There will be four meetings each day, beginning with a holiness meeting at 9.30 a. m., and preaching at 10.30 a. m., 3.30 p. m., and 8 p. m. Rev. Thomas Harrison will preach every night.

THE PUGILISTIC TEUTON. An Old Game Worked Successfully by Herman Krause.

Herman Krause, proprietor of the "German Laundry," on Central avenue, near Eighth street, has become infamously notorious. On July 20th he was arraigned before the Mayor for refusing to pay Paul Hoppe for services rendered. Judgment was given against him. The brief trial revealed the truth character of Krause, who, having deuded his fellow countryman, into service, then tried to bulldoze him out of his hardly-earned wages, besides almost starving him into the bargain, having given him nothing but black bread and a villainous compound he called coffee to live upon during his week's services. Monday a week ago Krause was again before the Mayor, charged with assault and battery and being a public nuisance. He had ensnared a woman named Annie Dolan into his service and wdhen she, tired of the bill of fare which almost killed Paul Hoppe, demanded her wages, Herman Krause and his spouse, Louisa, jumped upon Annie, throttled and beat her, and then threw her out in the street. People living nearby who witnessed the assault decided that Krause was a bad egg, and one lady made affidavit to the complaint for assault and battery. Herr Krause and his termagant wife were arraigned and committed to the county jail to await the action of the Grand Jury, in default of $1000 bail. Through some strange oversight Krause was liberated upon paying a fine of $40. He returned to Ocean City and secured another $40 for the release of his wife. What became of the charge of assault and battery which the Grand Jury were to investigate is not known.

The third chapter in the exciting career of these turbulent Teutons was enacted on last Saturday. Krause, it seems, went to Philadelphia on Wednesday night and inserted an advertisement in a German publication in that city, stating that a manager for laundry was wanted, who would have full charge of the "machinery, collect the money and receive $35 monthly for his services." The ma nager should furnish $100 for the faithful performance of his duty and as security for the trust reposed in him. An unsophisticated German named Ernest Geschke answered the advertisement, and although he could muster up only $60 as security Krause, affecting some degree of reluctance, accepted him and the money. It was a tempting bait for a green, unsuspecting German, who imagined that he had struck oil, and fortune was smiling upon him. Last Friday evening Geschke came here, escorted by the wily Krause. He was entertained at the laundry, and no doubt dreamt that night of the success that awaited him, and the good news he would transmit to his friends across the sea. But next morning the scene was changed, and poor, deluded Geschke awoke to the realization that he had been swindled out of his savings. A brief inspection of the laundry and its machinery, a brief acquaintance with the family life of the Krauses, disgusted him, and he demanded the return of his money. The valiant Krause was equal to the emergency. He had been there before. He attacked Geschke, and fearing the young man would get the uppe rhand, he seized a coffee pot and dealt him a blow on the head which cut his scalp. That settled the argument. Geschke retreated to the street and howled. A crowd collected. Geschke, accompanied by a number of sympathizers, went to the Mayor and swore out a warrant against Herman Krause. Marshal Conver went to gather him in, but Krause executed a flank movement, and the marshal did not bag his game.

Having so reported to the Mayor, orders were issued to both the marshal and his aid Carhart, to capture Krause on sight and jug him in the Black Hole. But Krause was slippery, and escaped, no one knows where or how.

Some say that Herman took to the road and tramped off the island into the adjacent country, others that he secured a boat. No trace of him has

been obtained, and it is believed he has skipped for good. It will not be healthy for him to return, and if his spouse, Frau Krause, will only follow

suit, there will be no regrets in this camp-meeting city.

It is astonishing that swindlers like Krause are allowed to insert such notoriously swindling advertisements, and practice such deceit. The young man Geschke is to be pitied. He has lost his all, and there is no prospect of his recovering a penny. The paper which Krause and he signed jointly in Philadelphia is a fraud and worth nothing.

Atlantic City Notes. It looks as if Mayor Stoy, of Atlantic City, has been worsted in his fight with the boardwalk amusement people in that city. The cases against Tillmans, Bowker and Oswald, who were arrested on Sunday, were dismissed by the Recorder Monday. These men, it is now declared, intend to sue the

Mayor, the officers who arrested them and the city for $20,000 each for false arrrest.

The Atlantic City municipal authorities have appropriated $100,000 for a site, and the erection thereon of a City Hall. Frederick W. Heisley, of the Hotel Brighton; Charles Evans, of the Seaside House, and ex-Councilman John Champion have been appointed a commission to take charge of the matter.

I have on hand several small cottages which I will trade for lots located between Sixth and Twelfth streets, Ocean City. I also have some good building lots on which I will erect cottages for any one wishing to invest in a home by the sea. Terms reasonable, and first

mortgages taken on the properties when desired. Correspondence solicited. ABEL D. SCULL, Builder.

WANAMAKER'S. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19, 1895.

FURNITURE NEWS Yes, news. The daily story touches fresh goods--just as we get them out of the cars and ready for selling. The fruit of months of planning ripens at frequent intervals. Shipments were timed to arrive as we could find room for the goods. Think of starting this great Mid-Summer movement with the ownership of $350,000 worth of Furniture! Not room enough to house it all at once. Think of the economy of the movement! You have our assurance, and the evidence of your judgment whetted by comparisons, that the furniture at current and coming prices is worth what you are asked to pay and half as much more! No wonder that the selling is passing all records. Fancy Book Cases, $10 and $15; regularly worth $15 and $22.50. Mahogany-finished Bureau and Washstand, made of birch, $16; regularly worth $25. Antique Oak China Closets, ends of bent glass, $13.50. Market value, $20.

WOOL DRESS GOODS Let us look at the case fairly. Dress stuffs have been abnormally cheap. Makers are tired of losing money and orders will not be booked for goods at prices to interfere with advances. We own large quantities of stuffs suitable for early Autumn wear. Three-fourths of these lots, at a guess, came to us under even the lowest market rates. The rest we can afford to lose money on and mark them uniformly low. The opportunity is yours. To-day's goods are at figures from half to two-thirds the recent lowest prices. They will be relatively cheaper when you compare them with goods soon to arrive. The list is necessarily abridged, for an operation like this leaves little to spend for printers' ink. Facts boiled down-- Black Crepons--$1.25 Pebble Crepon, of Mohair and wool, 50c. $1.25 Crepon Plisse, all-wool, 50c. $1.50 Cluster-stripe Crepon, mohair, 75c. Plaids for Children. 20 styles bright Cashmere Plaids, 37½c. 8 styles bright Plaids with silk over-plaids, at 37½c. 10 styles Cashmere Plaids at 50c. 7 styles bright Plaids with silk-line over-plaid, 75c. 12 styles wool and silk Plaids on granite grounds, 75c and $1. Colored Dress Stuffs. 40 in. silk-mixed Cheviot Brilliant, 8 colorings, 75c instead of $1. 52 in. Boucle-striped Suitings, six medium shades, 50c instead of 75c. 38 in. French Armures, browns, navy greens; neat figures, 37½c instead of 75c. Storm Serges. Even an umbrella isn't so good as a friend as you find in a Storm serge dress. Visitors, shoppers, travelers may laugh at lowering skies. The serges are blue and black-- 45 inch, 50c; 50 inch, 65c and 75c; 54 inch, $1 and $1.25.

CONTINENTAL BICYCLES.

$50 is enough to pay for a strictly high-grade wheel while this special lot of Continentals can be had. As to guarantees, there is no store in the world that gives such absolute guarantee on all its goods. Bicycles are goods with us. Standard Cyclometers are $1.10 now. A first-rate Bicycle Lamp for $1.75. JOHN WANAMAKER.

Jeopardizing Their Reputations.

Two young and pretty girls, well-known church-goers and of highly respectable parents, were seen at a late hour on Saturday night in the company of two boys, near the boardwalk, above Fifth street. The electric light at Fifth street was not burning, and that im-

mediate neighborhood was as dark as

Erebus. If the girls value a reputation

for respectability, and they are old enough to appreciate what that means, they will avoiding compromising situ-

ations and localities. Girls of their age

--not more than 16--will show much more respect for themselves and their families by being at home by ten o'clock at night. If they must frequent the

boardwalk, let them be seen among their usual associates where the electric light is brightest.
