'sCONsET HAPPENINGS.
What II Going on at that Unique Sea-
side Resort.

| correspondence OF TIE EVENING STAR
| ScoNsET, NANTUCKET ISLAND, MASS, Aug. IL.
On Sunday we had two very interesting serv-
ices in the chapel The morning service was
conducted by Mr.. Eugene R. Shipper Of Wash
ington, now . student at the Harvard divinity
school, In the evening the service was Epis-
copal, conducted by the Rev. R. E. Jones of
Kalamazoo, Mich, who can also be claimed as
Washington boy, believe. The chapel was
built about seven years ago and has since been
enlarged to twice ito original seating capacity.
At every service it il filed with large and atten-
tive audiences, and the evening services are es-
pecially well attended by the natives Of the
| village. Every summer there are many cult
waited voices among the visitors here who give
| one or two concerts for the benefit of the
chapel, and this, with the weekly contribu-
| tons sustains it
| The interest in base ball has again revived,
and two games are played between the Soon
sets and Nantuckets each week. There are
many minor mines" Even the little girls have
formed . mine" to play with tennis ball and
racquet
The native population of Nantucket has lately
sustained loss in the death Of Capt. George
X. Coffin, at one time tide guager here for the
government. Many Of the visitors remember
'Sconset and the headquarters for those inter-
ested in the lore" of the island. They would
go there and read the old Nantucket ballads
perpetuating the brave deeds of former sons
and daughters, which were pasted on shingles
and hung around the walls.
The old captains are fast passing away. One
OF the distinctive features Of 'ScOnset as q sea-
side resort will be lost when they are all gone.
Last night there was a concert, the proceeds
70 be devoted to building hall containing, in
addition to large room for dancing, smaller
rooms for reading and other amusements The
plan is to have in connection with the hall
grounds large enough for base ball field and
tennis courts
Mrs. Harrison came to the town Of Nantucket
last week to see her sister, Mrs. Lord, who has
been i'll at the Ocean house.
On Tuesday she drove to 'Sconset and San
koty light. In 'Sconset she visited several Of
the picturesque old cottages and seemed much
entertained by the novel character Of the place.

Temptations for the Old Soldiers.

This morning in the Police Court James
Goodwin, John Morgan, and Thomas Kelly
were charged on the oath of Policeman Passan
with being guilty Of boisterous and disorderly
conduct on 7th street extended Goodwin failed
to appear and his collateral vas forfeited. One
Of his comrades who appeared for trial had a
black eye. The officers testimony was that the
old soldiers had been drinking and that ex-
planned the reason for their being disorderly
Judge Mills said that this case shows what Mt
Warner complained OF in the columns of The
STAR few days ago-the rum mills and snares
on the It'll street road. After referring to the
temptations in their way the judge gave the
defendants some good advice about their future
conduct and told them to keep away from
those places on 7th street where intoxi-
cating liquors are sold. Their personal bonds
were taken.

The Presidents Honse.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Why build a new White House in front Of
the present one," as suggested by correspond
ent in your issue of the 10th instant? Why not,
rather, build an executive residence in some
healthy suburban location and retain the .'old
White House" for the executive Office and, if
need be. enlarge it for the uses and location Of
the State department also? This would at once
bring into nearer relation these high and al
ready closely allied Offices and relieve the ever
crowded condition of the war and naval offices
now located IN the present building.
