The days are sensibly growing shorter, and long evenings of the pleasant weather steal upon us with a sense of contentment and enjoyment which renders them very attractive. Time flies rapidly, and it surprises us to find that we are already far advanced in the latter half of a year that seems to have opened upon us but yesterday.

The Moon's Eclipse.

A total eclipse of the moon occurred last Wednesday night, and notwithstanding the unseasonableness of the

hours when it was to be seen, was wit-

nessed by a large number of people in this vicinity. It began in this section of the country at 11 o'clock, and continued until 2.45 Thursday morning.

The total phase of the eclipse lasted for one hour and forty-one minutes, which is only four minutes less than the largest d uration possible, the moon passing very nearly centrally through the earth's shadow.

The night was a perfect one for witnessing the phenomenon, the total absence of clouds in the sky allowing

every phase to be seen distinctly. During the eclipse some very pretty coloring was shown, the moon at first show-

ing a small brownish patch on one side, which gradually spread over its entire

surface, with varying shades. When

nearly the whole surface had been obscured, a transformation took place and

the appearance of the moon gradually changed until it resumed a wine-color-

ed hue with a light yellowish shading underneath. This was to be seen at its best about 12.30 o'clock Thursday

morning.

Death of Miss Asher. Miss Mary Salome Asher, aged 22 years, daughter of Louis and Elizabeth Asher, died at the residence of her mother, Central avenue, below Eleventh

street, on Saturday afternoon from meningetis. Miss Asher, although unwell for a year past, was only confined to her bed for three or four days, having enjoyed a surf bath in the early part of

the week. Deceased was an estimable young lady, and her death has cast a gloom of sadness over all who knew her. The remains were taken to Philadelphia for interment on Tuesday morning. Episcopal services were conducted in the latter city, at No. 1724 North Twenty-fifth street, the rector of the Church of the Enunciation officia-

ting, Miss Asher being a consistent

member of that denomination. Interment was made in Mt. Vernon Ceme-

tery.

Atlantic City Officials Visit Asbury

Park.

The season being on the wane at Atlantic City, Mayor Stoy and a delegation of Councilmen and newspaper representatives last Thursday concluded to go north and visit Asbury Park. At

a few minutes' notice Mayor TenBroeck prepared for them.

Taking an electric car, with the band of music, a hasty run was made to Elberon over the new trolley line.

Dinner was served at the Brunswick, and then the tally-ho was filled for another ride. Councilman Harvey

assisted the Mayor in doing the honors to the visitors. The novelty of wide

and clean streets, an unobstructed

boardwalk, and such handsome houses and hotels as the Atlantic City people saw pleased them immensely. There's no denying that they had a good time.

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." HAMMONTON. A new Presbyterian church is to be erected here. BAKERSVILLE. The annual September exodus of Atlantic City summer residents has begun. Captain John D. Adams, of Baltimore, has joined his family, who have been spending the summer in Bakersville with Captain Adams' parents. PLEASANTVILLE. Charles Berger and D. George were driving a wagon loaded with garbage across the meadows Sunday night. Pulling aside to let a buggy pass at the turnpike crossing, their wagon became fastened in the sand. In freeing it, their horse got upon the tracks of the West Jersey railroad just as a motor train came spinning along. The horse was killed instantly, and Berger was thrown about twenty feet, his right leg and two ribs were broken, and it is thought he may be injured internally. He was taken to his home in Bargaintown. His companion was not injured. PORT REPUBLIC. Public schools commenced one week ago under the auspices of Prof. Mitchell and his assistant, Miss Rhodes, from New York. A pertinent question was asked last week in the Pleasantville Press, why our native teachers are crowded out to make room for those from other states? Before we attempt to answer that question, let us ask this one: Are there any native teachers with a teacher's certificate who desire a school that have none? If so, then the Press question can and will be an-

swered. We hope this year's school

will be a successful one for pupils as

well as teachers.

STEELMANVILLE. Mrs. Nicholas Somers, familiarly called Aunt Polly, is quite sick at this writing, and has been for the last ten days. Miss S. Wheaton and Miss C. W. Lewis were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Stites, at Ocean City, N. J., on the 29th and 30th of last month. They had a delightful visit with their host and hostess, together with other friends that were visiting them. They also met several old friends in the city, and enjoyed the camp meeting. After an absence of two years they could see a marked improvement throughout the city, which bids fair to become one of the first-class summer resorts. Our public school opened on Tuesday of last week. Mr. Haldrich, of Hammonton, is the teacher, and started in with a good attendance. The festival for the benefit of Friendship M. P. church, held in the woods near the church, beginning on the 29th of August, and ending on the first of September with an all-day meeting, was well-attended, and from reports a success both financially and spiritually. Preachers from a distance were in attendance. Mrs. Sallie Barrett, widow of the late William Barrett, was married on August 30th, to a Mr. Marshall, who is employed by the railroad company at Broad Street Station, Philadelphia. Rev. H. M. Smith, of Linwood, performed the ceremony. MAY'S LANDING. Farmer George Henry has growing in his garden a sunflower which stands over twelve feet high, and bears 250 flowers. The September session of the Atlantic county courts convened Tuesday morning. Judge Ludlow for the first time presiding. The court docket showed nine cases in the Supreme Court, eighteen Appeal and eighteen Circuit Court cases. A pretty and quiet wedding occurred at 6 o'clock last Wednesday morning at the handsome residence of Samuel E. Sharp. The contracting parties were Town Clerk Melvin H. Morse, son of ex-Postmaster M. R. Morse, and Miss Cora Sharp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Sharp. Rev. Joseph H. Boyd, of the M. E. church, performed the ceremony in the presence of the immediate relatives of the parties. The newly married couple are well known here, and were identified with the M. E. church, Mr. Morse being secretary of the Sunday-school, and Miss Sharp occupying a position in the church choir. The couple, after partaking of a wedding breakfast, departed on the 7.45 train for an extended wedding tour through Maine.

The Hamilton and Weymouth Townships Sunday School Association Monday elected these officers: President, J. V. Beckett; vice-president, Lewis Howell; and secretary, Somers H. Collings, and treasurer, Prof. E. D. Riley.

ATLANTIC CITY. A fashionable wedding took place at high noon last Wednesday at the First Presbyterian church, when Harry Wootten and Miss Mary Marshall Down, daughter of ex-County Clerk Down, were united in matrimony by Rev. William M. White, assisted by Rev. J. W. Munday. The bridesmaids were Miss Annie Currie, Miss Sarah E. Wootten, Miss Laura Down, Miss Elizabeth Boise and Miss Minnie Moore. The ushers were Arthur Parton Hill, William H. Schurch, Jr., Captian Lewis T. Bryant and Dr. E. C. Chew. Charles N. Lodge acted as best man. Several hundred invited guests were present, including many Philadelphia visitors.

Henry Turpin, a colored excursionist, was fined $5 and costs by Recorder Gouldey Thursday night for assaulting a passer by on the street. The suit of Mason vs. Steelman, the rent case, will be tried again this (Thursday) afternoon before Justice Young. Frederick Hemsley, of the Hotel Brighton, has purchased the Dission Villa, on Indiana avenue below Pacific. It was bought as a speculation and will probably be sold off in building lots. Richard F. Loper has sold his recent purchase on south Pennsylvania avenue, including the lot which his cottage is on, to a syndicate for $160,000, which will erect a hotel there. Mr. Loper reserves the cottage, which will be removed to another site. A syndicate is after the hotel site in Chelsea. The property, which has a frontage on the ocean of 250 feet, was in the market recently for $33,000, but the price has been raised to $50,000, and the syndicate has offered $40,000 for it. United States Marshal Pfeiffer, of Camden, sold the yacht Emma on Friday to satisfy a lien claim for repairs, on which the owner of the boat had defaulted. The special committee of members of City Council, and prominent citizens appointed to promote the paving of Atlantic avenue met Friday night, and by resolution recommended to Council that the offer of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company to pay $40,000 toward the cost of paving the avenue, which is estimated at $160,000, be rejected. The railroad company's offer was made in reply to Council's proposition that the company pay 50 per cent. of the cost of paving the avenue, and bear the entire expense of repair, in return for the valuable electric railway franchise it enjoys. Maggie Powers, a powerfully-built woman, who, her husband asserts, is much of the time under the influence of liquor, was arrested on Saturday at the instance of her husband, who charged his athletic mate with beating him without cause. Recorder Gouldey held the husband-beater in bail to keep the peace, and she was locked up in default. The body of an infant was found in an outhouse in the lower section of the city on Saturday, by Policeman Collins. The police suspect infanticide and are making an investigation.

Four boys, among whom were John Raymond and John Roat, both white,

and confirmed thieves of tender age,

who have several times escaped punishment on this account, entered the millinery story of Mrs. Malin, on Atlantic avenue, near Ohio, in broad daylight, Saturday afternoon, and began gathering together hats and other goods on display. Mrs. Malin hurriedly summoned Officer Collins, and Raymond and Roat were captured with valuable

goods in their possession.

What came near being a disastrous fire at the electric railway shops on Saturday at midnight was averted by hard work. A workman entered the repair car, which was sidetracked in the midst of a lot of summe rcars, to fill a torch with gasoline. He set down his lantern, turned on the spigot of the gasoline can and instantaly there was a fierce explosion. The repair car burst into flames and burned furiously. The workmen managed to subdue the blaze after $700 worth of repair machinery had been ruined. A fire did considerable damage at the building where the Flower Girl Illusion is being exhibited on the Promenade, Saturday afternoon. Antonio Repetto, 49 years old, a real estate agent of this city, was held in $800 bail Sunday by Magistrate Fulmer, in Philadelphia, on the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons and threatening to kill Mary Comitee, colored, of Thirteeth [sic] and Lombard streets. Repetto claims he went to the woman's house to collect money for a number of lots she had sold for him, and they became involved in a quarrel over money matters. The estimated number of visitors here for the twenty-four hours ending at noon Sunday was 23,280. They came from all sections of the country over the three railroads, and the number included 4000 excursionists from Central and Western Pennsylvania towns. This was a big day, and the weather was at its best. City Council Monday night rejected the offer of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad to pay 40 per cent. of the cost of paving Atlantic avenue, and will insist on 50 per cent. Chief Charles Whippey was elected to represent the fire department at the Firemen's Convention at Augusta, Ga., in October.

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.
