last year, the result Of such "sport,
and the young people are carefully
watched now to prevent further trouble
of that kind.
To the men and children who are un-
able to swim, and only care to get the
benefits of the bath, there is a space
inclosed within which the water is
shallow, and there is not the least
danger Of accident. For the older and
more experienced men the spring
boards that extend from the wharf
afford the most amusement. Some OF
the swimmers are quite venturesome
and go beyond the prescribed limits.
They are always warned, but If they
persist all that can be done Is to keep
an eye on them from the lifeboat.
Some of the most venturesome OF our
swimmers are young ladies who have
recently learned how to keep them
selves aHoat 1t is weakness Of our
sisters that, where there is a man in
sight to be captivated. they will tako
great risks to demonstrate their brav-
cry, which is another name for fool
hardness. They look very pretty
floating on the waters surface. near
the shore. but they excite alarm when
they venture beyond their depth. A
stalwart life-saver swan out to a
venturesome girl the other night and
warned her to go nearer shore, as she
was in danger Of getting cramps and
drowning. She saucily told him to
mind his own business. Thereupon the
life-saver told the young lady that he
would kiss her right then and there,
and started for her with swift strokes.
The girl screamed and hastily swan to
shore where she Indignantly told her
friends that she had been insulted and
demanded that the Efe-saver be dis
charged. The superintendent. how
ever, replied: II am only sorry that he
not kiss YOU. l am sure that he will
next time. But l think you VIII be
inclined TO obey regulations hereafter,

He looks heap like me and he told me

To man who either can't swim or
don't want to swim, it is very interest
ins to look at the motley sizes and
shapes of humanity parading the beach,
going down into the water and coming
up out Of the water. There are fat
men and fat women, and lean men, but
no lanky women. The shadow girl

and yet they have no guardians to
teach them that they would better
adorn their homes than parade tho
bathing beach, where the moonlight
casts their shadows SO faithfully on the
sands that they look like giant turtles

The men and women who can swim
have many games to play in the water.
There are two alright barrels anchored

in speaking of its New York correspon-
dent of the conference of Mr.. Carlisle,
secretary of the treasury. with the New
York bankers the day previous. at the
house of Mr.. Williams. president of the
Chemical bank. said: Mr. Carlisle

REPEAL OF SILVER PURCHASE
CLAUSE.
In the midst of the widest excite
ment this measure was driven through
the house August 81, and the next day
the house bin was reported to the sem
ate and passed that body on October 30.
To secure the passage OF this repeal bill
ii is conceded that executive patronage
was used without limit.
If the foregoing statements are true,
and they come from gold favoring sour
ces, then the pretense that panic Of 1893
was caused by the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act was false pre-
tense put forward by men who deifber-
ately adopted methods to pinch bus
mess and bring upon the country
financial distress. and then attribute
this condition TO the operation Of that
measure in order to induce such a
change of sentiment In silver favoring
communities as would secure its repeal.
This IS stating the case in its mildest
