1t may be true that the Republic
of Hawaii does not desire the ex-
termination of the natives. The
reason is not from human or senti-
mental feelings, however. 1t is
simply matter of expediency to
wheedle the natives into the belief
that Mr.. Cooper and the other
aliens OF his stripe love them, so as
to fall back on their support when

Cooper and his republic get disgust

City Councils Work.

The second monthly meeting Of the
Mayor and City Council was held on
Monday night in DIR. T. 5. Dashiell's
office. The question OF water works.
about which our people are more con-
cerned than any other ust now, was
discussed by those present and a reso-
luton, authorizing the issuing and
selling of water bonds to the
amount OF $4,000 in accordance with
the law passed by the late Legislature
and voted upon by our citizens, was
passed. We trust the Council will
lose no time in disposing OF these bonds
As the citizens of our town have twice
voted for them, and are anxious that
their property may have the protec.
ton water will afford and they them
selves be relieved OF the present heavy
rate of insurance.
The question Of bicycle riding on
the sidewalks was also discussed. but
no definite action was taken. AT the
request Of numerous citizens, Captain
Charles ; Capper was appointed police
man, vice, Benjamin Hearthway, whose
term OF office had expired We believe
Capt. Capper will make good officer.

ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
\ Dana Given at High school
Hall II Great Success.

This beautiful two-act drama was
rendered by the young ladies aud gen.
tlemen of this town, whose names have
heretofore been given in the MEssEX.
GER with the publication OF the pro-
gram, on Monday and Tuesday evenings
of this week, and to say that all the
characters were admirably taken is
putting il mildly, and 10 undertake a
discrimination in the perfection of the
acting by those who participated in the
rendition of the play would be an i'm
possibility. Suffice it therefore to say
that few entertainments have ever taken
place in this, or any other country
town, which was more enthusiastically
received and heartily enjoyed Before
the evening OF the performance all the
reserved seats had been sold and others
were necessarily added TO accommodate
the large number of people who wanted
to witness the performance until when
the curtain arose almost every chair in
the Assembly Room of the High School
building was reserved and occupied.
From the raising of the curtain until
the close of the last act the large
audience was enthusiastically entertain
ed n evidenced by the fact that many
of those who attended the first evening
were as eager 10 secure seats for the
second and by noon the following day
more than two thirds of the seats in
the hall had been sold. The audience
included many from Berlin, Stockton
and other towns. 80 well satisfied
were those who attended that some Of
them endeavored To induce the per
formers to repeat the play third time
on "Wednesday evening. but were I'M
successful in their effort. In the
arrangement of this affair, and the
success OF the entertainment, much
credit is due, not only to those who
participated in the performance, but
especially to Mr.. L. f Boehm who
was untiring in his efforts and assist
ance in advising and doing whatever
he saw to do. The entertainments were
given for the benefit of the Presbyterian
church, and the proceeds which amount
ed 10 SIC, will be used in painting the
Manse. The performers were members
of that church and congregation.
excepting Messrs. Charles S. Richard.

two gentlemen vote of thanks was
given by those interested in the play
for this kind assistance and mastery

The iHtermissions between the acts
was interspersed with music by The

proprietor. The Isle OF Wight is also
fast filling up During the spring
many improvements have been in
progress, and possibly this year will
witness greater advance in the growth
and improvement Of Maryland's seaside
resort than any other in its history.
There are nj this time ten cottages
building and several being remodeled.
y contract ior II casino and one for
the iron pier have been awarded, and
a pavilion will be added to the Pin
himmon. 1t is expected that the iron
pier will be completed, so il is said, by
the Fourth Of July, and the casino two
weeks later. The ground floor OF the
casino Is to contain lighthouses and
booths, and the upper story bowling
alleys, pool rooms. etc The iron pier
is to be "T' shaped and to extend $40
feet into the ocean. Mr.. Thomas w.
jenkins, OF Baltimore, who is one of
the incorporators OF the pier company,
has been at Ocean City taking active
measures for improvements. The fol-
lowing persons are building cottages !:

cottage, and Daniel Trimper has added
extensive improvements to his house
including Il theatrical apartment 100

There has been great deal of talk
about another railroad to Ocean CITY.
1t is rumored that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will construct
branch from Berlin, which is on the
Maryland and Delaware line and only
about six miles from Ocean City. The
construction Of this short line would
add immensely to the facilities for
reaching this delightful place and
would give an all-rail route from Bal
timore and Washington An agent of
the company was here some time ago
looking over the ground and examin-
ing it with view To recommending it
to the company.
Nature seems to have done more for
Ocean City than for any other resort
on this portion of the Atlantic coast.
The Intervention OF Sinepuxent bay,
cutting the town OFT from the marshes,
which are 50 great disadvantage to
other resorts, the comparative freedom
from mosquitoes and exemption from
are of incalculable benefit.
The introduction OF artesian well
water, has removed the one great OBJ
lection to the place. Pure water now
is drawn from depth Of three hun
dred feet
As Ocean City increases in size its
growth will be more and more rapid.
AT this time the growth is healthy and
the railroad furnishes transportation
for rs many the hotels and boarding
houses can accommodate. The trip
from Baltimore and Washington is
most pleasantly diversified by the

Vast numbers of army worms are
appearing on some of the farm lands
near Snow Hill and several crops of
wheat and corn have been nearly de-
stroyed by them. The pests, contrary
TO their usual habits. are attacking the
wheat heads. This is attributed to the
fact that the worms have come some
weeks earlier than heretofore and find
the grain and chaii' OF the wheat in a
tender condition. Some farmers are
very much alarmed over the ravages
Of the pests.
