NOTES FROM THE SUMMER RE-
SORTS.

For the BENEFIT OF tho Stay-at-HOnies.
Red bathing caps are worn by the cratic
damsels of Long Branch.
Sportsmen complain of the scarcity of fish
and game in the Adirondacks.
Saratoga is more than usually infested with
brides and grooms this season.
Village carts with monographs painted on
the side are the very latest agony at the
seaside resort.
The West Point cadets are much exercised
at the prospect of another colored boy in
their midst.
That irresponsible party known as they
say" announces that there are now about
thirty thousand people in the village of
Saratoga.
Richfeld is crowded, the hotels and cot
tages having nearly all the guests that they
can accommodate. Over 400 persons are at
the Spring House.
Travel at Mount Washington has been un-
usually light thus far this season, but the last
few warm days have Increased the number
OF visitors
College students at the White Mountain
hotels afford some people good deal of
amusement by their awkwardness in serving
as walters in the dining room.
The wearing of numerous rings by young
gentlemen is an effeminate fashion that RACES
at Summer resorts where rich papa young
men" most do congregate.
During the present year about forty new
cottages have been erected at the Thousand
Islands, New York. Nearly every State 10
the Union has its representative there
Styles in bathing costumes OF late years have
changed considerably. Formerly lady's
suit comprised two pieces, one including the
while now the waist and drawers form one
piece, the same as those worn by the males,
and the skirt Is the separate garment. The
suits are worn shorter than ever.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug 9.-The Repub-
lican State convention convened here to-day.
The platform adopted rehearses and eulogizcs
the achievements Of the Republican party;
demands that amendments to the State con-
stitution be submitted to the voters for their
decision expresses sense of the great loss
suffered by the Nation in the death of Gen.
Garfield and recalls with pride the careers
of Lincoln and Garfield expresses gratitude
to the Union soldiers of the late war; and
declares that revenue greatly reduced In
amount is oil that is now needed to pay The
interest on our public debt and the expenses
of the Government, economically admins
tered. The time has arrived for such reduction
and regulation of tariff duties as shall be neces-
sary to pay such interest and expenses. We
therefore approve the efforts now making to
adjust this reduction so that no unnecessary
burdens upon consumers of imported articles
may exist, and that no injury may be inilict-
cd upon our domestic industries or upon the
industrial class employed therein. The plat
form favors the adjustment of the relations
of capital and labor 30 that the rights of labor
will be fully protected, and says: We join
in sincere sympathy with the efforts of their
brethren in Ireland to break up by means Of
just legislation the large landed estates
upon that Island and introduce upon
those lands for the general good of the
people peasant proprietarics. We join with
them also in the hope that their efforts for
home rule In all matters of local concern will
prove successful. 1t is the duty of Congress
to adopt laws TO secure a thorough, radical
and complete reform of the civil service
The industry, wisdom and firmness of Presi-
dent Arthur meets with the cordial endorse
ment Of the Republicans of Indiana. The
platform also commends United States Sena-
tor Harrison and Governor Porter. The
present State officers were renominated. A
committee from the Womens Christian Tenn
perance Union addressed the convention in
advocacy of constitutional amendment.

The Boston Gazette says that tn, attend
ance at the Concord school Of philosophy has
been very slim this year, and it pronounces
wrestling with problems in metaphysics,
with the mercury in the nine,ies, anything
but light diversion" Although the school
has had instructors greatly respected for
their learning and high character, yet "peo-
Pile have been more inclined to take things
on trust, and do their admiring at dis
tahcc, than to assist at these intellectual
symposia." Were not the true trauscendcn-
tai philosopher altogether above the ac-
cldenls of the atmosphere, suggests the
Gaaette, more favorable season of the year
would be chosen "for bringing into the world

There are people that claim, first, that beer
is not intoxicating second that when 1t does
intoxicate it makes man either good natured-
ly or stupidity drunk, and not, like whiskey,
quarrelsome. The Cincinnati Gazette, the
great anti-beer organ of the West, in its issue
of last Wednesday, reported the cases on the
Monday police court docket. The Monday
before the passage of tine Smith Sunday Clos
ing bill there were Ga cases on the docket :;
after that for siA weeks the numbers were
under 40 now, under the non. enforcement
of the law, the court fills up again to 65
cases. An analysis shows that al of the 65
were cases of ''lrunk on beer" with the
words "and disorderly" or other like addi-
ton after 20 Of them. In most of these cases
enquiry brought out the fact that the Offend
ers were each one of crowd, the other men,
beers of which did not appear in court. Add
to this the assaults that the police did not
know of, and VIC have an interesting COM
mentary on the assertion that beer does not
intoxicate.

There are few corporate bodies, we are
sure, existing for any other purpose than their
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, which can present SO
satisfactory IN account of capital ex-
pended and in hand. The inter-
ests of the association. in every depart
ment. it must be seen, arc placed in the hands
of men best qualified by experience and wis
dom to conduct them successfully in that
particular branch of the work. Added to the
natural and acquired qualifications for dis
manner, is that noble disinterestedness and
answering fidelity with which men of hon
or are sure to administer the affairs of any
organization or enterprise which has for its
aim the elevation and ameloraton of man
kind. 1t is redeeming and encouraging
trait in human nature, that the funds Of any
benev client association, TO whomsoever en-
trusted are invariably looked upon as sacred !;
and not only this, but they are regard
ed with sort of affectionate responsibility
if we may couple such terms-and made the
object of the most scrupulous surveillance
and the most thoughtful care.
1t is not to be wondered at that an associa-
ton extending over the face of almost the
whole globe, composed of the best men in
the world, both morally and intellectually,
and having for Its object the highest end
noblest aim of philanthropy, an aim which is
at least avowedly dear to every man-it is
not to he wondered at that such an associa-
ton succeeds. 1t must succeed. 1t has every
element of growth and permanence within
itself and every encouragement and aid from
without. That it is composed of young men is
assuredy an element of strength. The young
men are the strong men they ore the So
cial and intellectual levers which move the
world. They are the levers, too which have
not yet attained all the power Of thepulcrum.
Their force is growing and accumuative.
They are destined to control the interests Of
the future. A generation Of good or Of evil

lOrNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS.

The Christian work which is being done in
this country by young men can be appreciat-
cd only by glance at its wonderful results.
The Year Book OF the Young Mems Chris
tau Associations of the United States and
Dominion of Canada for 1928 lies before
us. 1t is handsome pamphlet of 107 pages,
compiled and published by the International
Committee at New York. There are well
executed cuts of the Association buildings in
San Francisco, New York city, Cleveland,
o., Aurora. H., Indianapolis, Ind, Pough-
keepsie. n. Y. Charlottetown, Prince Ed
wards Island, and West New Brighton, l..
l. The extent and excellence of
organization which the Association en-
Joys, and which enables it TO con-
duct its labors with such great and
uniform success, may be judged of by turn
ing to PIP. I and of the report, where are
given the names of those who compose the
International Central committee and the
number and location of the different asoocia-
tons throughout the world. From the table
on page we find that there are 2671 ascot
atoms IN existence, of which the United
States supports 624. England has 1893,
Scotland 1888, Germany 422 and France 65.
The body of the Year Book is devoted to
the statements of the secretaries of the sew
eral associations in the United States and
Canada, including an historical account of
the several departments of the work entrust-
cd to the International committee. The
statistical reports sent to tho committee by the
thirty-six corresponding members who have
been appointed to report the condition of
associations IN their field show that 779
associations have reported statistics of their
work; 565 of these report an aggregate
membership Of S2.375.
