THE hat of the women In public as
semblies has been the subject of many
jibe from the pens of sharp writer's,
all to no avail, however. 1t remained
for the Christian EndeavOr Convention
among its many other surprises, to get
the hat off the heads of the ladies. At
the closing meeting in Madison Square
Garden on Sunday evening where H.
900 persons assembled and the doors
had to be closed an hour before the
time as the place was packed, Presi-
dent Clark, familiar termed Father
Clark, who originated the movement and
is held in great reverence, as a benefit
to the thousands who sat behind asked
all the women in the hall to remove
their hats, and the reporter says, "his
request was promptly acceeded to-"
1t was a capitulation at a word because
the request came from a man who stood
to them little less than Moses did to
the Children of Israel.

THE trip of the Excelsior to Cape
May on Monday proved a very pleas.
ant one to the excursionists, nearly 300
in number. One of our citizens tells
us he has been going on river excur-
sions the past 80 or 40 years, and never
had a more pleasant one. The boat
being large one, drawing some nine
feet of water, could not get into Wood
land Beach until the rising of the tide,
nine O'Clock and after, and hence did
not leave Cape May until the evening.
The trip was not an encouraging one
in financial way. Less than 800
were carried, when 1000 or more
were expected. The time was, some
years ago, when such a trip would
have had a large patronage. The
Smyrna q Delaware Bay and Kent
County railroad was then in touch
with the peOple-the management and
the people feeling they had common
interest.
WHEN the heavy rains set in five or
six summers ago and continued several
summers in succession, the farmers
had got into the habit of threshing
from the field to save the time of stack
ing. AS all could not come first, it
would be from one to two months be-
fore the last would he reached.
With the weather so against them
the consequence could not be
otherwise than much damaged wheat,
selling ten or more cents bushel less,
and but little of it bringing the full
market price. 1t has taken several
years to cure this habit of threshing
from the field, but this year has brought
a decided change. The past week
which was free from rain with cool
fresh temperature, has restored the
old Fashioned stack yard on many of
the farms. Wheat must go through
what is called sweat" to properly
prepare it for milling, and this eau be
better done in the stack than anywhere
else. The Lea Company of Whining
ton would like to have all the wheat
of this section, but they do not care
about it unless it has been stacked
before threshing.

An Enjoyable Beach PARTY.

The drst beach party of the season
went to Woodland Beach on Thursday
afternoon, going on u chartered train
at b P. M, arriving there in time for
supper. 1t was a perfect evening. a
dewy freshness filled the silent air. and
the serene and mellow rays of the
moon added very materially to the
occasion. The beach was dotted with
couples walking leisurely along, with
seemingly no thought except their
own happiness. Many preferred the
walk on the pier as their favorite
stroll and those desiring "visions of
rest" were abundantly repaid, In full
orbed glory the moon rolled through
the dark blue depths and sent her
steady rays to be rocked in the cradle
OF the ripples. The silence was occas.
ionally broken by the dull plash of the
waves against the pier, aud by the
sweet strains of music which proceeded
from the pavilion. The music for the
evening was furnished by Oglesby's
orchestra, and the ma7y waltz occu.
pied the attention of the dancers till a
late hour.
The return home was made
under the most bewitching circum-
stances. The railroad company failed
to furnish oil for the lamps, relying on
the light from the engine to illuminate
both cars. Everyone hocked to the
last car where darkness reigned su-
prepe, save for the ghostly flicker OF
the brakeman's lantern which was
"out of sight" behind the stove,
When railroad company charters a train.
Aud fails to furnish the light
Ihey should not put lantern back
Oi the stove, clear out of sight.
The girls no doubt had something in view.
When they made their way TO this car,
You'd think they'd be 'fraid this car 10 invade
When everything was black as tar.
