of Coffin went to his sons assistance and
drawing his revolver fired at Davis,
missed him, but shot John w. Jones, an

Although Brigantine Beach is within
sight of Pleasantville its attractions are
comparatively unknown here because it
is overshadowed by the immensty of
Atlantic City. Still Brigantine is an
attractive place when you get there,
and the little trip in the steamer across
the Inlet, and the three-mile trolley ride
along the beach-part of which is right
at the very edge of the ocean-makes a
pleasant preliminary to the place itself.
Although Brigantine has long been
known, it's resources have not been
much developed until within few years
when it got railroad connection by
a branch leaving the Reading R. r. a
little below Egg Harbor City. There
are now fine cottages being built, and
several hotels compete for the public
patronage The Holland House ranks
first in the list, and the proprietors
have built q large addition 100 feet
long since last year containing new
dining room, parlOrs, office, and 10
large and handsome sleeping-rooms.
The regular dining room, and also the
cafe, front the ocean and are delightfully."-
cool and pleasant. The bill of fare at
the Holland is very elaborate one,
| and dainty enough to suit the most
| fastidious epicure. 1t has been the aim
Of the manager of the Holland House to
establish a reputation for fine cooking
second to none in the country. With
| that end in view a chef from the far
| famed Delmonico's has been engaged
and only the best of everything is
allowed to go into the kitchen. There
are always enough people who appre
ciate the delicacies of a fine table who are
willing to pay the extra cost. While you
can get a dinner at the Holland as eXpen-
sive you please if specially ordered, yet
the regular price for meals is no highe1
than those charged by good houses else
where and the prices, a la carte, in the Cafe
are very reaso nable. The House is wei
patronized by the travelling public, and
especially by those who enjoy the luxu
ries Of the table, and the perfection O
cookery and service.

FORTY HOURS DEVOTION.


Cardinal SatOlli Conducted a Solemn
Service ut St. Mary's Church.
A red-letter day was observed in Roman
Catholic circles in this city ycster day.
Cardinals Satolli and Gibbons celebrated
impressive feasts.
The beginning of the forty hours devo-
ton commenced at st. Mary's, and it was
there that Cardinal Satolli was the cele-
brant Of the mass at the morning service.
Upon Cardinal SatOllis appea rance he was
greeted by burst of song and music from
a band of children, Who marched from a
beautiful decoration of greens and flowers.
The deacons of honor were Revs. Giles
pie and Dolan, S. J.; assistant priest. Rev.
Dumont; deacon of the mass, Rev. Flute
terrier; subdeacon, Rev. Fitzgerald, and
master of ceremonies, Rev. Wennenberg.
At the close of the mass "Grosser Gott,'
the ..Te Deum'' in German, was sung by the
congregation.
The sermon of the day was delivered by
Mgr Schroeder of the Catholic Univer-
sity, in the German language. He spoke
of the importance Of the forty hours devo-
ton, and, in closing, said that the congre-
cation should pray that the new cardinal
might be spared to the church for many
years.
A dinner in the school hall followed the
service, and Cardinal satolh presided over
the gathering OF prelates. The address to
the Cardinal waslmade by DR.. Glaab, and

POSTAL SERVICE SUCCESS.
Special Deliveries for Small Town

Special Deliveries for Small Towns
Near the Large Cities.
Reports received at the Post-office De-
partment from division superintendent in
dictate the marked success of a special pos
tai service recently established for the bene-
fit of small cities and towns lying within
Il short distance of metropolitan centers.
During the latter part of last year Post
master General Wilson became convinced
that better and more frequent service should
be established between these commercial
places and towns distant fifty OF seventy
five miles from them.
The matter was taken up by Second
Assistant Postmaster General Nelson who
authorized local service of this charac-
ter ON the Delaware, Lacka wanna and
Western railway in New York and on the
PENNSYLVANIA out of Philadelphia. He
also authorized this service in the New Eng
land postal division, but 1t has not yet gone
into effect, owing to the delay in building
necessary apartment cars by the railroad
companies Interested.
The supcriut endent of the third division,
which includes Washington, Maryland. and
Virginia, reports that the service has been
a great success. The same service between
Lula, Ga. and Atlanta has expedited the
transmission of mail matter and newspa-
pers in the Southern States. To Cincin-
natl, Marion, Dayton, Louisville, st. Louis,
and Ia points in Kansas grea benefit has
resulted. Michigan towns have received
these improved facilities from Chicago.
Capt. White, general superintendent OF
the railway mail service, said today that as
time misses this local service would in.
crease in usefulness to the public and very
materially advance the interests of the
Postoffice Department AS opportunity of
fcrs this service will be extended through
out the country.

RICHES ON THE BORDER.
Glowing Account of the Wealth of the
Venezuelan Territory.

teHtZut"u
The last nunbar of the South American
Magazine published in London, contains a
glowing account of the riches of the dis
puted territory on the borders Of Vene-
zuela and British Guiana.
1t states that but for the recent extraor-
binary action OF the President of the United
States the immense value of the colony
would have remained comparatively I'M
known to the world. Notwithstanding it
contains some of the richest and most easily
worked gold fields.
The colony, it is said, was within four
teen days of a pleasant steamship journey
from England. and its population numbered
2s9,OOO, of which 10000 were Portu-
guese and 1000 English, the balance con-
sisting of negroes, Indians, and East
Indian coolies.
The climate of the country was ex tremely
salubrious, and the great primeval forests
contained immense stocks OF valuable wood.
Communication into the interior was chiefly
ty means OF steamship along the Essequibo.
The country would probably prove TO be
the richest gold-producing country ever
discovered.
In 1884 a few Indians and negroes went
into the interior and brought down $50
ounces of gold. In 1Ss9-9O the exports Of
gold from the colony were 80, 332 ounces
and in 1S94-5 they amounted to 1874 ,O47
ounces, making n total production of raw
gold In a little over ten years OF upward OF
f3 900, 900.
Up to the present time alluvial gold had
been the only gold produced in the colony;
but now they are preparing to attack the
reefs. and machinery for that purpose was
being rapidly shipped.
The property Of be british Guiana Devel-
oping Syndicate was served by govern
