WHAT SCIENCE REVEALS. More Proof of the Healthfulness of Ocean City--Its Position Among Health Resorts. Through the courtesy of Mr. J. R. Kendrick, of Philadelphia, who is stopping at The Brighton with his family, we are enabled to present the following extract from an article publisher in the Baltimore News, which must prove very gratifying reading for the residents of Ocean City, and especially people who beleive in its grand destiny as a summer resort. A chemist has taken the trouble of making an investigation into the purity and wholesomeness of the surf at wellknown resorts from Cape May to Bar Harbor. He has analyzed samples of the saline waters, and as the result says: "While the atmosphere of Cape May is fine, there is a good deal of impurity in the surf owing to the poor sewerage arrangements of the place. Ocean City has very slight traces of organic matter in its water and the atmosphere is all that could be desired. Atlantic City is in good condition, but there is danger impending from contamination by sewerage unless the subject is carefully attended to. Manhattan Beach, Coney Island and Brighton Beach are much like Cape May. The water at Rockaway Beach is heavy with salt and the atmosphere pure; there is a slight taint at Long Branch; but the healthiest place on the coast is Bar Harbor. Here the sea water is the purest in the world, and the atmosphere admirable for invalids, especially those suffering with throat and lung troubles." There are some other peculiarities reported by the analyst quite as interesting, as, for example, that the warmest water is at Cape May, while the coldest is at Bar Harbor. Cape May, he regards as not much of a place for skin diseases, and he especially recommends Ocean City and Manhattan Beach for children.

Real Estate Transactions. The summer season is on the wane, but real estate is on the boom. W. E. Massey & Co., proprietors of the Ocean City Real Estate Exchange, report the following transactions during the past week: Sold three lots on Asbury avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets, to Robert Carson; a lot on West avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets, to Rev. W. H. Burrell; a lot on Central avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets; a very choice location on Wesley avenue, between Eighth and Ninth

streets, owned by Rev. B. H. Sanderlin, to T. S. Simmons, of Millville, who will erect a very handsome cottage there this winter; a lot to J. R. Kendrick, on Wesley avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets; a lot on Asbury avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, to C. Stokes, of Woodbury, who will build a cottage; a lot on Central avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets. This busy firm have

also rented Rev. W. A. Massey's cottage at Nineteenth and Central avenue, to J. Frank Pusey, of Germantown, and a cottage on Central avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets, to F. C. Messimer, of Philadelphia.

The Cape May County Fair. The 4th Annual Fair of the Cape May County Fair Association will be held at Cape May Court House next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August 3, 4 and 5. In addition to the usual fine display of flowers, fruits and vegetables, the trotting features promise to exceed those of all former exhibitions. Since last season a new bicycle track has been built and twenty-one races have been arranged for wheelmen. One of the attractions of the event will be closely contested races between the Benner brothers (of Philada.), aged 4 and 6 years, on wheels built expressly for them. Negotiations are now pending to secure James Corbett, the noted pugilist, to place base ball with the G. & C. H. team on the second day of the Fair. Another attraction will be the bicycle riding of Stacy Cassedy, the Champion professional wheelman of New Jersey.

OUR SHOES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!

Volumes filled with pertinent points; all points are well taken, too; and so secure plenty of takers for our shoes. Such shoe oratory is irresistible, and presents a multitude of foot notes well worth studying. It's counting health to house the feet comfortably in a pair of shoes that are always the very idea for the season; the correct thing in style, and the "Just what I want" brand for everybody. What a shoe ought to be is just what our shoes are, and just what a shoe ought to cost is what our shoes do cost. KNORR & CO., ASBURY AVENUE AND NINTH STREET.

An Interesting Ceremony.

The ceremony of blessing the Stations of the Cross was gone through Wednesday night at St. Augustine's Catholic church. Father J. T. McCall, of Baltimore, preached a sermon on "The Blood Lettings of the Passion, the Price of our Redemption," which was

appropriate to the ceremony, and was quite up to Father McCall's rank as a pulpit orator. There was a large and devout congregation present. The Stations of the Cross are pictures representing the principal scenes in the Passion of the Savior. They portray, first, the scene of Christ's arraignment and condemnation before Pilate, then

the carrying of the cross, and so on,

and are intended as reminders of the sufferings and sacrifice the Savior underwent for the redemption of mankind. Pious people look upon these scenes, contemplate what Jesus has done for fallen humanity, and are thereby incited to deep devotion expressive of their sorrow for sin and determination to amend their lives. The Stations of the Cross as pictures, according to the resources of the church organization, are very often works of art, being executed by eminent artists. But whether of a high or medium degree of art, they all alike serve the purpose as reminders of the sufferings and cruel death on the cross of Jesus

Christ.

A Jolly Yachting Party. Mrs. John McAleese entertained quite a large party Wednesday with a boating trip to Beasley's Point. Two yachts were necessary to accommodate the large number. During the interval spent at the Point dancing, singing and refreshments were indulged in. Among those present were Mr. John McAleese and wife, Mrs. McShane, Miss M. McShane, Mr. Bigelow, Misses Wilkinson, Kohlhoff, O'Donnell, Miss Victory, Miss Mary Myers, Miss Inez Forbes, John L. McNamee, Frank McCarron, Joe McCarron, James Gallagher, Joseph McShane, Frank Simon, Dr. C. Miner, Dr. H. Rowan, Mrs. Holland, Mr. and Mrs. Gerlach and Michael Gallagher. The party was given in honor of Miss McShane, Mrs. McAleese's niece.

Atlantic City Notes. Joseph Burke, an employee at Jackson's bath house, who was arrested on a warrant sworn out by William T. Thompson, charged with breaking and entering his stand at Jackson's pavilion, has confessed. After breaking in Burke pried open a drawer and stole $20. The prisoner is also charged with robbing his room mate. An order from Philadelphia to reduce the hours of labor and regulate the wages of the car cleaners and baggage handlers at the Reading Railroad depot created a flurry Friday morning. The men have been working fourteen hours a day for $1.75. The order reduced the hours to ten, and the wages to $1.06 a day. When Yardmaster Reynolds issued the order James Farmer, of 129 Willow avenue, and Thomas F. Ryan, of 1909 Atlantic avenue, two of the baggage men, quit work, and others show a disposition to follow. It is not expected, however, that a general strike will follow.

Friday morning about 8 o'clock Mrs. Bierbaum was awakened in her

room at the Hotel Majestic by a man entering her door. Thinking the man

was a boarder and had made a mistake in the room, she covered up her head, not wishing to be recognized by the stranger when she appeared at break-

fast. When the man left the room she hurriedly examined her jewelry case and found that nearly all of her valuable diamonds, amount-

ing to about $1200, had disappeared.

The robber was arrested later at Kuehule's Hotel, where he had registered as W. H. Morgan, Philadelphia. Subsequently he gave the names Dave

Martin and Charles Morse.

Detective Harry Bond, of Philadelphia, has secured the police record of William H. Morgan, alias "Martin," alias "Morse," who is charged with stealing Mrs. Max Bierbaum's diamonds at the Hotel Majestic on Saturday night last. Bond thinks the prisoner one of the slickest in the profession, and dangerous in the extreme. At a hearing before Recorder Goldey, Monday afternoon, Morgan was held in $1500 bail for the September term of court, and as he has been identified by Mrs. Bierbaum as the man who entered her room and rifled her jewelry case, the probability is he will be railroaded to State Prison. Morgan was arrested once in Dallas, Tex., but it is not known yet whether he served time. It is thought that the prisoner had some hand in the several robberies here. The New York and Philadelphia detectives who have been employed by the city to ferret out crooks believe that a "fence" is situated here, and that as the robberies are committed the stolen property is turned over.

A Rear-end Collision. There was a rear-end collision between two trolley cars at the steamboat landing Thursday afternoon. The head-light of the rear car was knocked "into a cocked hat." Only the motor man and conductor were aboard and they were not hurt, being used to the hard knocks. The car was run up to the platform to take the place of the car just about to leave on a downtown trip. The break refused to work. Fortunately there were only five passengers in the departing car, and although rudely shaken up they felt satisfied because they had escaped being thrown over the trestle into the uninviting stretch of slob which the retired tide presented to view. The rear car was run back on the Y switch and lay there for hours getting fixed up. The trolley service yesterday was not up to the mark and complaints were numerous.

Dissolution of Partnership. Notice is hereby given, that the partnership lately subsisting between Joseph G. Champion and Harry C. Brown, of Ocean City, Cape May County, New Jersey, under the firm of Champion & Brown, was dissolved on the second day of Augsut, A. D. 1895, by mutual consent. All debts owing to the said partnership are to be received by said Harry C. Brown, and all demands on the said partnership are to be presented to him for payment. HARRY C. BROWN, JOSEPH G.

Folded Her Tent. Louisa Krause, the devoted spouse of Herman Krause, late proprietor of "dot Deutscher laundrie by Central avenue and Eighth street oud," and bulldozer and fraud, left Ocean City on the Philadelphia express Monday, bag and baggage. Louisa tried to square matters with the authorities in order to get Herman back. She implored 'Squire Myers to intercede for Herman, but the

'Square told her that Krause would surely be sent to prison if he dared to return, and he advised her to follow her husband. Farewell Louisa--not au revoir.
