A notice in the Peninsula Methodist of
Saturday last has given rise to the rumor
that DR.. Talmage will be in Chesapeake
City tomorrow Sunday to dedicate the
new Methodist Episcopal Church at that
place. The dedication will not take
place then as Bishop G. Fl. Fowler, D.
D., l.. L. D., writes that he cannot come
at that time and DR.. Talmage has not
condescended to make reply. 1t has been
decided to postpone the dedication until
some time in April, when it is hoped the
services of one OF the NJ. E. Bishops may
be secured. The cost the church has
amounted to sum far beyond early es-
timates reaching about So. 900 yet nearly
two-thirds of this has been already paid,
and the brethren are hopeful of securing
still more on this account so as to leave
comparatively small balance of indebted

Oar readers will doubtless remember
pondent of THE WING of the visit of
mad dog to the village OF Colora and the
biting of boy named Sharpness. The
lad was taken to NV York by his father
and placed under treatment. The toll
lowing relating to tbs case is from the
New York correspondent Of leading
daily published on Thursday last:
DR.. Giber, who has established Pas
teur Institute in West Tenth street. near
Fourth, is having plenty of opportunity
at present to test the theory OF the great
French scientist. Three weeks ago a
boy, IL years Of age. was bitten by il dog
at Colora, Nd. The wound was very
severe one, and the local practitioner adj
vised that the boy be sent so New York
for treatment. He came here and was
constantly under DR.. Gibier's personal
care until yesterday, when he was pro
nounced cured as far as the institute
could effect 1t, and was taken home by
his father. The dog that bit nim was
killed and his head sent to Dir. Gibier,
who inocuated rabbit with some Of the
spinal cord. After the rabbit died of
rabies, two NEGOTIATIONS were made daily
IN the calf of the boys right leg. The
Doctor said this morning that he was a
brave little fellow and made an admira-
BILE patient. The case was a dangerous
one, but he was confident that no bad
results would now follow.
On Saturday last, two boys who were
chasing dog in the streets here were
savagely bitten by the cur. One of them,
seven years of age. had his thigh much
laceIated. The dogs teeth entered both
sides, piercing the leg through. The
wound could not be cauterizei, 40 the
boys were brought to DR.. Gibier's insti
tute, where he is treating them gratuit-
ously. AS the police shot the dog and
threw the carcass in the river, the doctor
was unable to SECURE the head to d ter
mine if the animal was really mad The
members of the Society for the Proven

The Hanger Of Extravaganza.

N,r YORK Tribune.
The Republican party III Congress has
duue well thus far. A harder trial OF the
iaithfuluess of members is at hand, and
indeed has begun. They have begun to
vote away money. Every Representatives
has influential friends who are interest ed
i'll one undertaking or another-some III
public buildings, some III river or barber
improvements, some in other branches OF
public expenditure. 1t Is not always
easy for member to say no to those
friends, especially when the object of APP
priaiion is i'll itself, mentorious, and
when many other members will assuredly
seek their interest at any cost, and the
question is only whether all can be
pleased without spending more of the
public money than ought to be spent.
The man who solemnly resolves in the
morning that he will not help TO defeat
the cause he loves by voting for axtrava
giant or unwiSe appropriations, may find
himself before noon pledged to support
an appropriation for 500, O00 public
building in town where tho needs of
the service can all be met by rental of
81 900 "A year II would please constitu
ents to have the building erected, and
there are men of great influence who
want it, and the Democratic candidate
next fall is sure to pledge himself to sup
port it to the utmost.
Nobody can take Representative re-
sponsibility i'll his stead. and no one else
is likely to be as competent as he Is to
Judge whether this or that appropriation
for buildings or improvements is justified.
To their own constituents the members
must answer and fart off criticism, even
If entirely accurate, is apt to be of little
avail. But it is well to remember that
| the Republican party in general, and
| many honorable members in particular
| will find it rather harder work to satisfy
the people next fall if the aggregate of
| appropriations this year exceeds the ag-
gregate for the current or the last fiscal
| year.
No one can go over the entire list and
explain each item to an audience. If
that were possible, it would not alter the
feeling of voters that an aggregate of ap-
preparations, which was considered ut
terly indefensible when they were made
by the last aud most extravagant Demo
cratic Congress, ought not to be exceeded
by the first Republican Congress. There
are exceptional objects, it is true, to
which money ought to be appropriated
without hesitation. But it is equally
true that extravaganza and wasteiulDess
of expenditure in good many directions
have been growing for years, without
anything to excuse such an increase, aud
a Republican Congress might well en-
deavor to start with an overhauling OF
the bills and stoppage of leaks.
Every member must judge for himself
how lar these suggestions apply to any
measure that he is inclined Or asked to
favor. He answers to his own people,
But these Republicans will help their
party most, and perhaps themselves also,
who will take especial care to cut off the
unreasonable expenditures, in order that
there may p full room for those which
an enlightened public opinion demands.

A. G. Yates & Co., at the southwest corner
of Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets, which
were formally opened on Saturday last, at
tracted general attention by its bright and
cheerful appearance. Increasing trade in
mems clothing caused the removal from
No. 1910 Chestnut Street. Besides their
large store in the Ledger Building at Sixth
and Chestnut Streets, the firm now occupy
this entire building, four stories in height,
having frontage on Chestnut street of
thirty seven feet, and depth on Thirteenth
street of 10S FED. Abundant light has been
secured by the many windows on the three
sides.
An electric plant has been introduced, so
THAT, besides the numerous means for light
by gas, there will be ample electric illulni-
nation. Also an elevator, by which the
four floors can be easily reached without
mourning fatigue in ascending The inter-
io- has been attractively finished and furn-
ished, the walls having been painted in
delicate and subiued colors. Everything
suggests eleg Ince, comfort and convenience.
Considerable change was made to the first
tinor in adapting 1t TO the requirements of
Yates u Co.'S business The entrance al the
corner of Thirteenth and Chestnut Streets
has been closed up, and the door is now to
the western side of the Chestnut street front
By this means opportunity was afforded for
the construction of large show window, as
large, probably, az in the city. 1t takes up
all the space on Chestnut street, with the
exception of the entrance, and affords am

The second floor has been reserved for

stock. In removing, but one day WAS lost,
which is surprising when it is said that the

Atlantic City, and the Pennsylvania Rail-
ROADS Facilities for Reaching Ii.

Atlantic City occupies unique a position
in the seaside resorts of America. From
"A distinctively summer resort, of which not
many years ago daily excursionists were
the predominating patrons, it has develop
ed into great seaside city, whose gates are
open throughout the year, and whose hotels
entertain the winter seeker after quiet and
rest with as much comfort as they afford
the hosts of summer on pleasure bent.
Nothing has contributed so much to this
development as the magnificent transport.
ton facilities which the city possesses
through the liberality and enterprise of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. Not content with a
single line in the West Jersey road to
Atlantic City, the Pennsylvania Railroad
with that unerring foresight is marked
characteristic of its management, some
years ago secured control of the Camden
and Atlantic line also, so that 1t now pracflc
ally operates Gcubletracked roadway
between Philadelphia and its great seaside
suburb. Both of these lines are in splendid
condition. Road beds are laid with steel
rails and ballasted the block signals system
controls the running of trains; and track
tanks placed between the rails obviate the
necessity of stoppages for water The very
highest rate of speed consistent with safety
and good management is maintained, and
year by year the schedule time is reduced
of the present winter and spring a further
reduction will be made for the approaching
season.
The equipment of the lines are exception
allv good. Commodious and CHEEKY passen
ger coaches have replaced the old boxes of
the past, and specially built parlor cars
afford any additional ease or luxury one
could demand. Standard hard coalburn-
ing locomotives of the pattern which has
given the Pennsylvania Railroad locomo-
tive worldwide fame, are used on the
fast trains, and every detail, both of manage
ment and equipment, is accorded az much
consideration of these lines as on the other
divisions of the Pennsylvania system.
Possessing such abundant resources, with
its improved and renovated station at At
lautic City, and the great excursion house,
located on the choicest portion of the beach,
the Pennsylvania Railroads faciies for
successfully handling the enormous volume
of its summer business are superior in
every respect. This applies 10 every class
of passengers, and the advantageous loca-
ton of it's stations in Philadelphia makes it
apply equally as strongly to the residents
of other sections as to the people of Phlla-
delphia.
