The Pennsylvania Railroads Double
Lines to Atlantic City-A Superb
Summer Schedule

The coming summer promises to be a most
notable one for sea-shore travel. Engagements
already made in advance forhotel accommoda-
tion at Atlantic City and inquiries received in
dicate the widespread popularity of this great
resort. Never before in the history of the City
by-the-Sea have the railroad facilities been so
perfect as they will be over the Pennsylvania
Sea-Shore Lines. Arrangements have been
perfected by which this popular route will
consolidate its two railroads (the West Jersey
and Camden and Atlantic) between Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City, SO as to be operated
on the plan of a double track. This mode of
management will greatly facilitate the hand
ling OF the enormous passenger traffic, and
will present the safest.and most novel system
OF double lines in the country.
The schedule of trains will be greatly i'm
proved over that of previous years, both in
the number of trains, their equipment, and
speed. A large number of trains will run on
timetable best adjusted to the needs of the
public. They will be equipped with comfort
able and handsome new passenger coaches and
attractive parlor cars drawn by the Pennsyl-
vania standard hard-coal burning locomotives
The majority of the trains will make the run
in each direction in eighty minutes, thus re-
ducing the time of transit to the minimum
consistent with safety and good management

The Patent-Leather Shoe.

1t is only within the last year or so that the
patent-eather shoe has been used to any great
extent for everyday wear. But it has grown
nightly in popular favor, and is to-day con-
sidered by well-dressed people as almost in
dispensable. Aside from the neat, finished
appearance which it lends to the weil-dressed
person, they are very durable, and are made
In great variety OF styles. There is no doubt
that they will be ''the shoe' for the coming
season, and in anticipation of the great de-
mand Messrs. Wilson d. Carr, of 929 street
northwest, have prepared for your inspection
the handsomest and most varied assortment
in this line of footwear ever shown in Wash
ington. The patent-leather shoe is somewhat
risky at best, but its wearing qualities depend
in great measure upon the care taken of
them. Messrs. Wilson & Carr feel safe in as
serting that their grade of s. patent-leather
shoes is not surpassed anywhere for the price,
and the $3.50 and $40 grades can be relied
upon as being the best obtainable. Special
attention is called to these patent leather
goods. but they are prepared to show you
complete stock in other lines of footwear, and
would be glad to have the opportunity of do
ing so.

Littering Up the Streets.

The police have been directed by the Com
missioners to strictly enforce the law against
sweeping the litter and rubbish from stores
into the cutters. The order states that the
law has been in vogue for many years, but
has never been fully complied with, and as
consequence, the business streets, n the sum-
mer time particularly, bear somewhat the ap-
pearance of a rag-pickers sorting. shop

OLD LADIES' HOME.
Reception and Bazaar at Uni
yersity Mound.

The old ladies of the Lick Home held
their seventh annual reception and bazaar
yesterday at their picturesque residence at
University Mound Tract. About 100 visit
Ors took advantage of the occasion to in
spect the establishment, cheer the inmates
by liberal purchases of their handiwork and
enjoy an outing. which for variety and
bealthfulness has few equals.
The trip from the city was made by The
Howard street cable via Twenty-Gourth
street and San Bruno road, at the terminus
of which vehicles were in waiting to carry
visitors to the home. On arriving at the
grounds the company was received by the
Lady Managers and escorted through the
building, introduced to the old folks and
extended the freedom OF the institution.
In the rece ption-room a bazaar was in
progress throughout the afternoon, and the
articles of fancy work made by the old ladies
during the past year were offered for sale.
Each of the industrious inmates presided at
her own table, and before the day was half
SPENT so brisk was the patronage, that little
was left even for the inspection OF late ar
rivals.
At o'clock lunch was served in the great
dining-hai 1t was a generous lunch, well
provided with homemade delicacies, and so
appetiZing as to provoke no end OF favorable
comment. Mrs. Staeuler. the Matron, was
in charge here, and was unceaSing in her
attention to the guests.
After lunch the visitors who had acquaint-
anees at the home made round of visits to
them in their private apartments, while the
others wentout upon the lawn and the pas
ture, and while the Industrial School Baud
discoursed a selection Of airs, gathered
bouquets from the luplns, daisies, butter
caps, eschsehOltZias and baby-blue-eyeS,
which cover the hillsides with glorious
mantle.
There are forty old ladies now in the home,
the average of whose ages is about 50 years.
Two of the number are now in their
Goth year, and one has the misfortune of be-
ing entirely blind; yet all, without excep-
ton, are as happy and contented as so many
children. The institution is strictly non
sectarian, and is managed by twelve ladies
from the different churches in San Fran
cisco.
These visit the home once a week, and
provide a service in the chapel on Sunday.
At present there are two vacancies in the
Board of Lady Managers, which is composed
of the following members; Mrs. J. G. Clark,
Mrs. A. NJ. Sherman, Mrs. A. H. Brecken-
field, Mrs. Robert McElroy, Mrs. William
Abbot, Mrs. E. B. Cooper. Mrs. Otis Gibson.
