An Appeal for the Young Men

MEssRs EDIToRs:-Many have thought
for a long time past, intact have known
that some place is badly needed in this
town, where young men who desire to
spend pleasant evening, can meet and
pass away the time pro6tably. AS it is, if
person, especially young man, wishes
to meet his associates and enjoy an even
ing with them, he must either do so, by
lounging in stores or on the corners OF
our streets. Many too who come to our
town as strangers, as is often the case,
they are at loss to know how to spend
the evenings, and in many cases they pass
them by lounging around bar rooms or
other places that will only tend to lure
them on, and unfit them for their daily
vocations, and finally, perhaps, make a
shipwreclS of life that would have other
wise been usefully and nobly spent.
Now what better place could be provided
where they could not only spend their
leisure time pleasantly but profitably,
than public reading DOM, where books,
pamphlets and papers would be free to
all to read who wish to become better
and wiser men. 1t would we'll repay the
outlay for such a purpose, and benefit both
people and community far more than
imagined. By reading of the lives of
our great men, the histories of our own
and other nations, and the leading news
papers of our present day, wherein polit-
ical, general, humorous and local news
abounds, they would endeavor to place
themselves on higher elevations and reach
nights now unknown to them by perse.
verance and hard study. What better
work could be accomplished by the indie
pendent Order Of Good Tempiars of this
town? They who are constantly harping
about reforming fallen humanity, and
destroying the evils of intemperance-
Intoxicating liquors, than to take this
matter in hand, and provide place
where their own members could fly for
refuge and lead their fellowmen into,
from the places they now frequent, to
where lessons could be learned to obtain
characters above reproach. Ladies' and
gentlemen of the cold water organization,
be up and doing, and let the people know
that you are not slumbering, but are
awake to the wants of your fellow crea.
lures and are ready to work hand to hand
to make all arrangements to furnish a
public reading room that the citizens of
this town would be proud Of

M. E. Excursion.

NJ. K. Sunday School excursion to
Cape May on Wednesday, on the steamer
Thomas Clyde, was very enjoyable
affair. The number that went was CON-
partively small, but the appointments
were first-class. Tho Clyde touched at
Port Penn and Woodland Beach, taking
from the latter place quite an excursion.
The officers of the boat did all in their
power for the comfort of those on board
Cape May Point was reached shortly
after 10 O'Clock, and train was immedi ately
taken for Cape May City. The surf roll
ed in gently, and many disported in the
gentle breakers. The new pier is quite
an attraction, and next season will wit
ness its popularity. Between Cape May
Point and the city hotel is being erected
in the shape of an elephant, and its out
lines give promise Of an unique structure.
The boat started ON the homeward trip
about four o'clock, and the steam up the
bay was oxhilerating, As the shades OF
night came on, the moon, casting her
silvery light on the bosom of the undu-
lating waves, reflected scenes beautiful
to behold. All arrived safely at home,
having spent delightful day at the sea-
shore.

SPORTING NEWS.


As the mantle of night throws her
shadows over the landscape and closes
from sight, all the beauties and charms
which nature has vouchsafed us to enjoy,
it is then when sense of loneliness steals
over the soul and perchance cause a
yearning for companionship, and thus !
muse.
AS the song of the katy -did so drear
Falls monotinous on my ear,
But not ere long, the autumn chill
Will bid her with her song be still
The boot of the owl, with her loud screech
From distant wood my ear doth reach,
And echoes back strange delight
In listening to those songs of night.
Then the notes of the whip-po-will,
In plaintive strains my soul doth fill,
With rapturous thoughts of him who
gives
An equal right TO all that lives.
The fire fly too in fitful flight,
In silence reflects brilliant light;
OFT in the grass, then on the tree.
Until its presence battles me.
The low of cattle in the barn yard nigh,
Is waited on the breeze while passing by
And whispers thus-there's lesson in
them all,
If | will but mediate, as they around me
fall.
The merry cricket on the hearth
Joins in concert with her mirth
Each in part, in songs of glee,
Would teach lesson what we should be.

SOUTHERN SHARK STORIES

A Florida pilot tells the following:
''rd just as soon try to swim lake of
red hot pitch as to swim over from PEN
sacola to Fort Pickens," said an old pilot.
"There are not so many accident ON re-
cord there, because people know the dan
gers and look out for them, but 1 know
at least of half dozen cases. The last
one happend last summer. A vessel came
in port for load of lumber, and the
Captains boy, quite good sized lad
in fooling about the rigging, fell over
board. The men heard a scream and
rushed TO the rail, but the only sign they
saw was red cloud in the water. They
got the boat and finally recovered the
body, but the head and limbs were gone.
Another time soldier tried 10 desert.
from the fort and was eaten by sharks
You see the brutes follow vessels in from
off shore, and get in the habit of swallow
ing everything that comes along, and
when man goes over they rush for the
splash. I've seen 'em moving around on
the bottom like drove of hogs. They
generally swim slowly when not chased,
but they can work tremendous race
when they are chased, and I've seen one
jump twenty feet into the air.
ITO show you how hard they can bite, I"
said the pilot, 81 have seen one take q
piece out of an oar. Another that was
hauled alongside of boat, took the cut
water in its mouth and nearly crushed it
into a jelly, leaving twenty or thirty
teeth in the wood
"Some time ago a Spanish gunboat
dropped in there, and the officers amused
themselves shark fishing. They had
quite circus. They would take small
dynamite cartridge, bind piece of pork
to it and fix it to float and wire and send
it 200 feet astern. Pretty soon shark
would take it and they would fire, and
the fish would fly into thousand pieces.
If one was wounded the others went for
him and ate him up"

Henry Willard, as expected, yesterday
resigned the Presidency of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. He also made an
assignment Of all his property to be
applied to the payment of his debts. A
week ago great many harsh
things were said about him, be-
cause it was believed that while
hundreds, and, perhaps, thousands had
been financially ruined by investing in
what were known as the Willard stocks
he had increased his already large for

securities of the corporations I'M

a desperate effort not only to protect him.

financial sagacity. The Northern Pacific

property. It owns enough good land to

savings and fortunes of so many,

than they ever have. The
failures of two great tinanciers, jay
Cooke and Henry Willard, and the wrecks
of the fortunes of two sets of investors,

years. Jay Cooke has made another for

prominent and responsible positions in
the financial world. Now that it is known
that Wizards fortune is gone no doubt
