Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-16

A Wel-Known Lawyers Fad.
THE amusement providers, of which
large percentage of the population of At
lantic City is composed, treat the average
Pittsburger just as he really is-a very clan
nish mortal. He has fads in all things, in
cluding eating, drinking and smoking, and
he is particularly "faddish" in bathing
suits. For illustration of this latter
"fad," take the preparations made by
Major Montooth for his bathing
this summer. The handsome Major, who
has engaged rooms at the Windsor, which
he is to occupy for six weeks, beginning
July 2, spends two hours in the surf every
day, no matter what the weather may be-
The people who run the bathing establish
ment take nothing for granted in providing
bathing apparel for Montooth. They obey
orders.
The Major has q suit for every day of the
week. They are of varied colors; but the
fit, about which the wearer is the most par
ticular, is always the same-perfect. Mr..
Montooth has caused to be fitted up for his
own individual use bathing parlor which
differs from the ordinary dressing room, in
asmuch as 1t is carpeted and upholstered.
. Wherein Bathers Differ.
The Major is not alone by any means in
his desire to enjoy the best that old ocean
affords Major Moreland, George Westing-
house and Calvin Wells have also engaged
exclusive bathing parlors at Rutters. Major
Moreland is also very fond of having bathing
suits that fit perfectly. and blend beautifully
with all colors of the rainbow. Mr.. West
inghouse is always content with dark blue
jersey suit, but in Mr.. Wells, the ordinary
bathing master sees a customer that is easy
to fit and easier to please. So long as
estly and the public, Mr.. Wells does not care
whether it Is made of calico or cretonne,
BLK or satin, jersey or jeans At the end of
last season, just before Mr.. Wells departed
for his own bustling city, he expressed
wish that the somewhat dilapidated suit ne
had worn all season be laid awav
for another year, as he had become some
what attached to it. Your correspondent
was shown the suit yesterday, and a
Thoroughly disreputable and frowsy-looking
piece of property it is. But the camphor
has been shaken out, and it hangs ready for
business.
Finn Secretfve but Confident.
ROBUST looking Phil Finn put in an ap-
pearance on the board walk yesterday. Mr..
Finn modestly declined to state his plans
for the summer, but he vouchsafed the in
formation: "That's a mighty good ticket
we made at Minneapolis, and we're in it,
see? Bill is coming down here next month
and he's going to stay all summer But
Harrison will be elected all the same.'
5 Some New Amusement,
THE new opera house of Young, Mcshea
g. Fralinger, at New York avenue and the
beach. is fast nearing completion and an
effort will be made to open it on the Goth
inst. The new theater is quite metropoli-
tan in its dimensions and is modern. It
will seat 400 persons There are 600 opera
seats. The stage is 58x60 with 5O-foot
opening and six exits.
Pittsburg Is Getting Th-re.
A GooDLY number of Pittsburgers are
already registered at the different hotels,
but the number is hardly large enough to
make q respectable advance guard to the
army that is expected to arrive by next
week. As general thing, at least so tra-
dition goes, the ordinary Pittsburger does
not arrive in large quantities before the
latter part of June. But when he and she
do get here they get here to stay, and very
often the furrying snowfakes of early win
ter alight on more Pittsburgers than on
persons from any other locality.
ALTHOUGH the season is in its infancy
the devoted fishermen of the island have
already determined to raise an issue in
order to protect the scaly beauties that find
their way into the thoroughfare. 1t is a
question which involves the right of
visitors largely. There is q State law
which prohibits the taking of fish by nets,
but it is law more honored in the breach
than in the observance Thousands of
weak fish have been taken by the meters
this season from the tboroughfare,
and the number is liable to reach
hundreds of thousands if the authorities
do not step in and interpose the
the strong arm of the law. A great many
who come here to fish do not care to risk
the chance of seasickness and therefore are
compelled to resort to the thoroughfare to
enjoy their piscatorial pastime. The At
lantic county fish warden does not seem
disposed to exercise the authority in bis
power, and in order to take a step in the
right direction a copy Of The DISPATCH
