NEW CITY.
~Arundel on the Bay.

Mention was some time ago made in
the CAPITAL. that a company had pur-
chased Fishing Greek" farm, at Thorn
as Point, with the view OF renovating
and dividing it into small parcels. and
erecting on each parcel handrsme sum-
mer cottages directly fronting on the
Chesapeake bay, where citizens OF the
cities Of Washington and Baltimore and
elsewhere could enjoy all the delights of
bay shore residence in pure salt air,
fishing, bathing, boating and all the 9TH
er pleasures attendant on such locations.
The point-chosen was good one, and
we now find that the proprietors Of the
scheme have not been idle They have
formed an association under the title of
The Chesapeake and Columbia Invest
ment Company" with their headquar-
tiers in the city of Washington, at 500 F.
street, with Mr.. David Stone, manager,
and have large stock capital
A large force of workmen have been
busy cleaning up the grounds, and our
esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. John Du-
vail, has just completed a handsomely
executed map of the grounds in which
the beauty of the situation is seen at a
glance. Wide avenues have been laid
out on elevated ground embracing nine
ty one squares for building purposes
all open to the bay, with a water view
farther than the eye can reach Contracts
have been made by seven residents of
Washington to have each q handsome
residence erected as soon as the weather
will permit, and will spend the coming
summer in the new city-"Arun-
del on the Bay" These will doubtless
be followed by many others before the
next season opens, and we shall have
several hundred acres of our beautiful
bay shore dotted over with handsome
residences occupied by families of wealth
enjoying the Injuries which alone the
Chesapeake bay can furnish in such per-
lection.
Arundel on the Bay is situa-
ted, as we have said, at Thomas Point
Light House, thrse-quarters of mile
South of Bay Ridge Resort. by a wide
shell road, which is being laid out; FIVE
miles from Annapolis; one and a-half
hours ride by rail from the cities of
Washington and Baltimore, by the Bay
Ridge railroad, which connects, In this
city, with the b. & E. S. line and the A.
W. & B. railroad, by which passengers
from Washington, Baltimore and else
where can be conveyed several times q
day without delays. Altogether, this
new summer city will become one of the
most beautiful and most desirable in the
country If the intentions of the proprie.
tors are carried out.

An open Letter to Rent Payers,

Did you know that syndicates of CAPT
talists are negotiating for the purchase
of every acre of eligible suburban prop
erty about the cities of Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolisy Such is the
fact With a keen eve to the future,
they see that these neighborhoods
especially the magnificent salt water
views environing our own city, must
soon become peopled with thousands OF
home-owners, whose self respect will
not permit them TO live longer in the
sitting quarters of over-crowded cities
The rapid development and growth of
mutual building and loar associations,
and the easy and safe opp rtunities of
fered through them of obtaining homes
has inspired these syndicates to invest
their money where there is such evident
certainty of large returns. Before prices
double, why don't you act for yourselves,
secure 3 lot or two at present prices
which are so very low. and be prepared
for the booml Secure lot TO build on
nor, even though you pay for it in
monthly instalments, because you are al.
ways in position to secure a loan from
the associations with which TO build a
home when you have the lot paid for
If you own home-site you are then in
q position to get loan and build q cot
tage, and the time to secure the lot is
NOW. Call and see me.

The Al. G. Fields MINISTRIES

Mr.. Al. G. Fields minstrels gave an ex-
cellent performance at the Opera House
Saturday night to an appreciative aud
fence who were entertained from the
time the curtain rose until it went down
for the last time with an unsurpassed
programme. Unlike other minstrel
troupes whose performances became tire
some by the sameness of their first part
or circle, in which the stereotyped tam
DO, bones and Mr.. Johnsing" invariably
appears. Mr.. Fields has substituted
instead new feature by the introduc
ton of steamboat scene, and has made
other Improvements over the old style of
negro minstrelsy that cannot fail to be
appreciated. Were we to be asked our
opinion as to the merits of each min
strel troupe we have seen, we should un-
hesitatingly award to the Fields Min
strels the palm of superiority as refin-
ed and entertaining troupe, each perform
er being an artist in his particular line.
This was also the opinion of the patrons
of the Opera House Saturday. Annapoli-
tans should recognize true merit and
give Fields minstrel rousing reception

Is the World Growing worses

SERMON BY REV. r. Il. WILLIAMS d. d.
The Rev. R. H Williams, d. D.. pas
tor Of the Presbyterian church, in his
eermon yesterday. is the World Grow
ing Worse" said
When we see the boldness of men in
committing crime and feel the power of
thewicked influences all around us,we are
not disposed TO count every man an old
fogy or a crank who asks, what is the
cause that the former days were better
than these?" The former days are dis
tant, and for that reason their evils seem
small compared with those of the pres
ent day. In the former days the vision
Of men was limited and took in only
what was around and near To- day we
see what the whole world is doing. The
worlds sin is laid down at our doors
every morning in the newspapers. In
other days the world was measured by
acres and miles To-day it is measured
by hours and minutes. Within the cen
fury which is now nearing its close. the
steamships and the railway car shorten
ed the distance between one country to
another, but this was nothing to be COM
pared with the shortening by the tele-
graph. Says Livingstone, and we agree
with him. This world is getting closer,
smaller, quite a compact affair" We
know more fully what the world is doing
than our fathers knew of what transpir-
ed within few miles of their homes. Be
sides, the Argus eyed press seems to see
the words wrong deeds more quickly
than its good deeds. The bad things of
the world are reported with greater zest
than the good things by the daily news
papers, and for that reason the world
seems TO be growing worse
But Notwithstanding the many things to
make the impression that the world is
growing worse, there are several consid-
erations to show that the world is improv-
ing. Men are losing confidence in giant
systems of evils. The news from the
great heather world is of the most
cheering character. Whole communi-
ties are giving up their false religions
Temples where great numbers gathered
in other days are falling into decay, and
are used for other purposes than those
for which they were built. Infidelity is
making but little progress with all its
appeals to the Incidence and ignorance,
and dodbts of the people. 1t is broken
into many antagonistic schools. one limi-
ting and destroying the other. The di-
visions in the evangelical churches have
eliminated many things that hindered.
unity in work. The Protestant church
es hold to-day correct views concerning
the essential doctrines of Gods word,
and can cooperate freely in worships
and effort.
1.-The spirit of fraternity that now pre-
walls among the churches muset have q
great effect upon the world. The church
is touching interest it never touched be-
fore. II is doing the work of benevolence
as il never did before. The work of tenn
perance, after 1t has been in the hands of
many persons and societies, seems now
to be transferred to the church. Educa-
ton, always recommended and assisted
by her, seems now to need special care
and help from the church. Then the
conflicts, which bring so much damage
to communities and nation, in the end
open wide doors for the work of the
church"
