Pattison at the Seaside.
Governor Pattison, of the great common
wealth Of Pennsylvania, is one OF the most
retiring and modest men in the world. He
is independent withal. but does not seem to
care a particle for the admiIing glances of
the hundreds OF visitors. The governor is
stopping at the Irvington, where he and his
wife are among the most popular guests.
Every morning, shortly after breakfast but
not be ore the sun has had time to dispel
the mists from the sea and land, the tall Ex-
ecutive strolls up to an adjoining Dathhouse
snd calls for bathing suit just like an ordi-
nary citizen. He doesn't seem to care what
bBthhouse he paUronizes, or what kind or
color of suit he geus, so long as it is a bath
ing suit. After the Governor gets an old
straw nat tied over his head and under his
chin he looks for ali the world like Jersey
sand snipe wallOwing in the sand TOR n June
crab. 1t doesn't take very much serf bath
ing to satisfy Governor PattiSOn. A dip or
two, a Eingeriy wade along the beach in
water knee-deep and one long dive under a
whiJe-capped breaker, and the Governor is
ready to stretch out or the sand for good,
prolon ged sun bath. just what Mr. Pattison
thinks about when he lying on the broad OF
his back watching the heecy clouds sail by
l. hard to conjecture, but the pose and the
CLINT Of the eye looks very political.
The visitor with the snap shot camera is
on hand early, and this season he or she
usually belongs to the East End Camera
Club, which is an organization formed
by society young people IN Pittsburr.
Each member of the club is provided
with a camera of the latest design
and tie name of the owner and the Or an
ization adorns the side of the box in gilt
letters. In conformity with a club rule
each member while away from home is re-
Quired to take at least one picture Il day, and
20 be ready at all times to explain all about
Il. Mr.. Lawrence Hillman, leading men,
Der OF the club, while attempt to take
the picture of woman in q bathing suit,
was knocked down by an -1rate husband,
who was aiterward arrested for the act.
This was one unpleasant experience OF
club member but there are many more
pleasant enough to more than coun.erbal-
auce the bad ones. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. Hi!lman, despite his black eye, was seen
photographing group OF wfnsome young
ladies on the piazza OF the Traymore. The
camera did not seem to possess any terrors
TO him there.
Nickel Machines as Barometers.
The catch-the- e-nickel-merchant along the
boardwalk Is better than a bank cashier as a
business barometer. He is smiling all over
his face this season, because OF the rich
har1 est which he knows is in store for him.
The boardwalk merchant takes his views on
general prosperity from the actions of the
average Pirtsbur.er. Here is the way one
Of them seized the situation Up yesterday.
You see PittsUurg H. one OF the greatest III
not tie greatest manufacturing center in
tho wcrld and is affected quicker chan the
ordinary city by the waves OF business pros
rslity or adversity. Ii the season opens ;
with plenty of Pittsburgers here that is n !
good sign, but If those Pfttsbufgers spend !
mouey right and left like they are doing this |
season you can bet all you're worth to a I,
red apple that business is going to |
boom right along. Now, look at that fat |
man riding on the inerTy-go-round He's i
got both hands futl of salt water taffy, and |
his pockets are fairly bulafng with fruit. He i
depends for his living on some one of the /
many Industries for which Philadelphia is 1
noted, and is sharing I'm a general prosper |
ity i know the signs well, and this one |
never fails.
