SUMMER AT ATLANTIC CITY


iot Sotbihs
The spring season which is just now
drifting into summer has been the most
prosperous in all the history of Atlantic
City. Never have so many people been
attracted to its great beach from all section
of the land, and never have it's hostelres
been so we'll equipped for providing COM
Portable and attractive accommodations
In the present, which is usually a breath
ng time between seasons, visitors still con-
inue to pour into the city, so that when
the summer hosts come they will find
good-sized garrison already in possession
of the fortress. There will be ample room
for all, however, and the indications fore
shadow the greatest summer season ever
known. Preparation are being MI de for it
now. New hotels of the lesser grade, are
building. new cottages are springing up on
heretofore vacant ground, and enlargement
and Improvement of existing structures is
of the day. The great board walk, now
known by the more dignifed and approp
rate title of the Ocean Promenade, has
withstood all the storms of winter and is in
perfect condition, the streets are being i'm
proved, new facilities for amusement are
under way at the Inlet, and every one Of
the city's $4,000 people appear to be- doing
something to make the great resort more
charming.
The facilities for reaching it are being
developed with view to he great strain
to which the summer traffic will subject
them. The Pennsylv mia Railroads double
lines from Market Street, Phil adelphiB, are
to be operated on a plan which will yield
ment, while guaranteeing absolute safety
and comfort. The tracks are in excellent
condition, the rolling stock of the most
approved kind, and the management keen
" alive to the best interests of the trrveling
public. Not only well adjusted service of
fast and well-equipped trains be maintain
ed between Philadelphia and Atlantic City,
but the through New York service, which
has accomplished so much in securing
travel from the East, will be continued
Apart from these facilities excursions of a
special or general char ,cter will be arranged
from time to time from all points ON the
Pennsylvania System at low rates.
BY theses means the residents of the re.
mote as well as the near points will enjoy
every OPT ortunity of spending some time
by the sea.
Atlantic City opens her gates in welcome
to all, and the Pennsylvania Railroad and
its connections is the highway that lead to
the the sea.

HOW sOMEGOODS ARE SOLD

We were talking with leading up
towr retailer a few days since whose
annual sales run up into the millions,
and among other questions came up the
one of drives" or special bargains.
FLOW is it, we asked, that you people
can every now and then advertise and
sell some line of garments or fabrics or
articles at prices which, on the face of
them, show a heavy loss on the cost of
manufacture itselt?"
The merchant smilingly replied: With
the enormous outlet which business such
as ours affords we are in position to
handle quantities which would stagger
she average retailer. For instance, two
or three weeks ago we closed out for cash
21S0 silk umbrellas, all the stock of one
of the smaller manufacturers, who need
ed cash for the the time being more than
he did the umbrellas. The price, as you
may readily understand, was low one
or we would not have closed the bargain.
The goods we placed in stock, mark
ing them in three different grades, viz
$3.50, $3.50 and S.. We advertised
them in the daily press. and in few
days sold over 1900 of this special drive
every one of which was bargain.
Now, we said, we have made hand
some profit on those already sold. We
will create little excitement on the
balance and stand a loss ourselves. So
we advertised 500 silk umbrellas at 81
each. Every one of those we put in
this special sale was worth from 50 to %
at retail.
The morning the sale took place the
people flocked in as soon as the doors
were opened, and in one hour and twenty
minutes the last umbrella was disposed
of. We sold one umbrellas only to each
individual purchaser at this low figure.
and consequently placed this bargain
with upward of 500 different persons.
The actual loss to us on this sale was
several hundred dollars, but on the
whole lot of 21S0 umbrellas we averaged
a very handsome profit, besides making
ourselves talked about, and bringing 500
special customers into the store who, it
is safe to say, brought more or less in
the other departments of the house at a
profit. Dry Goods Chronicle.

Everybody Can Go To Detroit.

KANSAS CITY, July 27.-As presaged
the limit on thee. A. r. tickets from
Western Passenger association points
has been broken.
The action of the Alton in making
the tickets good over that road until
September 30 is the cause OF the break.
The Santa Fe announced to-day that
it would make the limit on the G. A. r.
tickets from all points on its road good
for thirty DAYS obtainable by depositing
the tickets at Detroit.
This action will do away with the ac-
tion of the Western association in max
ing the limit ten days, and all of the
roads in the association will follow the
Santa Fe in making the thirty-day
limit.
The trouble predicted regarding the
present rates is likely to break out at
any time. Rumors Of charges to be
made are floating around and the pros
poets of miniature rate war among
certain OF the Western association
roads are considered pretty fair. Nearly
all Of the roads have made their con.
tracts to meet any rate that is made
and the chances are that they will be
called upon to make their promises
good.
The Alton has announced the follow
ing rates for the G. A. r. encampment:
Kansas City to Chicago and return, SO,
Kansas City to st. Louis and return.
$3.50; st. Louis to Chicago and return,
50: Kansas City to Detroit and return,
$17.75. On the same dates it will sell
tickets to Cincinnati and return for SIT
by way of the Ohio & Mississippi rail-
road from st. Louis, which tickets will
also bear final limit OF August 18th.

Protesting Against Pardon.

EMFoRIA KANSAS, July 2S.-Severa
personal letters have been sent Govern
or Humphrey during the last few day,
demonstrating against his granting the
request Of petition got up by a few
lawyers asking that J. n. Marlborough,
now in the pcnitcntiary, and who as
sassinated young Collier in this city
about four years ago and was sentenced
to hang for so doing, be pardoned
Yesterday answers were received
from the governor which have had
the effect of stirring up the'citizens to
considerable extent, and last evening
petition was being signed by some OF
the most influential citizens, which will
be Immediately forwarded. entering a
solemn protest against pardon being
granted.
The murder was extremely cold
blooded, Marlborough going to Golfers
boarding house after dark, calling him
to the door and shooting him dead in
his tracks, without word of warming,
in the presence of several ladies and
gentlemen. Both were employees of the
Santa Fe railroad, Collier being
the superior. The latter was
called to Kansas City. and left
Marlborough in charge of the Office.
Marlborough got drunk, which he had
frequently done, and neglected his bus
iness. While he was in this condition,
the division superintendent visited the
Office in Golfers absence. When Col
lier returned and found the Office in
disorder, he upbraided Marlborough,
who took off his coat and attempted to
whip him. Collier knocked him down
several times. This was in the after
noon. Marlborough proceeded to fill up
on more whisky until he worked him
self up to murder point, and then pro-
ceeded to do the deed for which a par
don is now asked.
Yarbrough. it is claimed, comes from
good family in North Carolina, who
have sent a mammoth petition from
that state asking for his pardon. They
have also employed Major Mccarthy,
lawyer of this city, with a couple OF
other lawyers, to get up petition here
asking for a pardon. This petition
many citizens here refused to sign and
are now preparing a counter petition.
Collier was the son of Rev. Robert
Laird Collier of Kansas City, now dead.
A delegation of Emporia citizens will
probably accompany the protest to To

All Good Americans.

CAPE MAY, N. j., July 2S.-At the
next meeting of the Catholic hierarchy
of the United States, a letter of thanks
will be sent to the pope in the name OF
the bishops of the country, thanking
him for having rejected the petition of
Herr Cahensly and his associates. The
hierarchy looked upon the memorial as
an unwarrantable interference with the
business of the Catholic church in the
United States.
To man, the bishops were against
it. The petition was considered an in
suit to the American hierarchy. 1t is
more than likely that in some sections
of the country the laymen would have
been called upon to assemble In mass
meeting and denounce the work of the
meddlers. The bishops believe that
there should be no race in the United
States, and some of them are in favor of
the government taking positive action
in suppressing the teaching of any Ian
guage in any school but the English
