APPEAR LIKE MAD MEN.
Those Who Set Out for the klOndil<c
Despite All Warning.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, August 10, 1897.
This mad rush for the Klondike gold
fields surpasses anything ever before ex-
perienced in this country. In every boat
load of gold seekers that leave this port are
scores of men who have left good positions
or lucrative professions to try their for
tunes in this new field, including mer-
chants, lawyers, ministers, superintendent
of mines, policemen, street car drivers,
bank clerks. teachers, and even mayors
The superintendent of the ''Treadwell gold
naines that boasts the largest smelling
mills in the world, situated on Douglas
Island in southeast Alaska, told me that
his men had become so excited over these
new discoveries that it was taxing all his
efforts to get men enough to take the places
OF those who were daily leaving his mines.
Overseers who were making two hundred
dollars month were thu owing up their
jobs to try to do better.
Notwit hstanding the fact that every boat
that returns from Skaquay and Dyea brings
tidings from those who are already there,
advising their friends not to come, as the
difficulties in the way are almost insur-
mountable, every boat is crowded In this
rush to almost certain disappointment and
untold hardships.
have conversed with several who have
returned from the Klondike, and not one
" ill advise his friends to go, yet it is not
uncommon thing to see ten thousand
people gathered in the vicinity of the wharf
here when a boat is leaving, all excited to
the highest tension, and mostly cheering
the adventures. A merchant who sup
plies nearly all that the miners need for
their outfit told me that Seattle stores had
already taken in over $500, 900 for these sup
plies, and that each boat cleared on an
average $4,000 for their owners. The ho-
tells, railroads and saloons are also reaping
a golden harvest, as well the Canadian
custom offices.
am convinced that many of these pros
advice, will not listen to reason, and in
many ways act as if they were boys doing
strange and foolhardy things which no dis
couraging reports or obstacles seem in the
least to moderate.
This exodus is r OF confined to the coast
but thousands are either here or on their
way from the east to join the throng, and
this in the face of the fact that there never
was such a demand for men as now. The
crops in all this northwest country are
simply immense, and the impetus that this
and other influences have given to business
is only bounded by the capacity of the
present forces to handle it, and a cheerful
tone seems to animate everybody and If
the price of silver is little setback. TO
some, the price of wheat is most encourage
iEg, and affects far greater class 1 be-
lieve there is a great future about to open
up to this section Of our country, and if
careful and conservative business methods
are employed, the most optimistic prophe-
c:es may not only be INDUCED in, but safely
relied upon to come to pass.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ASBURY PARK, N. j., August &c, 1897
Much to the delight of the hotel proprl-
etcrs, there does not seem to be the slight
est falling off in TIE season. Usually the
close OF Asbury Parks summer is marked
by the August storm, which, if it comes
during the last week of the month, will
send people away by thousands While
there have been several showers during
the week, they have confined themselves to
the night, and the weather has been superb
during the day. Many hotel proprietors
have anr o1nced that they have had
larger August than ever before, and many
of them are completely making up their
losses of July. The consensus of opinion
is that the season will be prolonged at
least ten days this year, providing the big
sou easter does not appear.
By order of the council the beach band
has discontinued the morning concerts at
Depot Square, and will give them on one
of the pavilions on the beach instead. The
change has met with the approval of every
one, and was brought about by the request
of number of summer visitors.
Col Hadley of the Church Army has at
tracted many of the summer people to his
big tent during the week. where he has
been holding series Of very entertaining
temperance meetings. Sam Jones has been
among the leading speakers.

A NEW JERSEY RESORT.
A LAWN Party to Celebrate the
Foundation.
Of The Evening Star.


Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
DEAL. N. j., August 26. 1897.
The members of the Atlantic Coast Real
ty Company will celebrate the consumma-
ton of their big real estate purchase Satur-
day by giving a lawn party on the
grounds of the Hathaway Inn at Darling
ton. Not only the hotel. but the entire
tract was included in the purchase. Over
1 900 invitations have been sent out. and
many of the cottagers from Elberon. Allen
hurst and the adjoining resorts have ac-
ceptej. The transaction is the largest
that has ever been made on the northern
New Jersey coast. The property includes all
the land lying between Elberton and Allen
hurst 1t consists of what is known
as Darlington and South Elberon, but
what was formerly Deal Beach, and
row all Of these names will be dropped
and the new resort will be known simply
as Deal The tract contains about 80
acres.
Ocean avenue, Elberon. will be continued
along the high bluff and an ocean esplan-
ade will be built that will be more att-ac-
tive and ornamental than the ordinary
boardwalk. The company will have a free
field to work upon in the DEVELOPMENT OF
the resort for the reason that there are
only two roads or lines that must be adj
hered to. namely, the Ocean boulevard and
the old Deal turnpike.

BUCK ROE BEACH.
The Many Attractions Which Draw
Neutrality-suspicious. Thither.

Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
BUCK ROE BEACH, Va. August &C. 1897.
August %. 1897.
Buck Roe Beach, situated few miles
above Old Point Comfort. If not possessing
quite the same advantages of situation
that the latter resort can boast, has a
vastly better bathing beach. and attracts
many who consider their daily dip in salt
water CT first importance.
The beach is well nigh perfect, shelving
gently. and of the finest sand, and in
breezy weather the waves sweep in
through the capes and give the place a fine
surf. though 1t is rarely so high as to make
the bathing unpleasant The view which
one commands in a stroll along the board
walk is equal to that from Old Point. and
wherever the eye is turned it encounters
the countless white sails which dot the no.
rizon. and the dark hulls of many ocean
steamers which find anchorage in Hamp-
ton Roads Besides the many passing ves-
sells Of commerce, the ships of the white
squadron are often seen here, and the ever
shifting panorama is of SURPRISING beauty.
Back short distance from the beach the
surrounding country is not notably attract
i've, but 1t is but a short distance to many
points of interest. First of these is Fortress
Monroe. and witnessing guard mount is an
unfailing source of diversion for the Wis
itors 1t would be hard to find pleasanter
walk than that around the green rampa-ts
of this staEch old fort.
Newport News and Hampton are also to
be reached by the electric cars from
Buck Roe, and on Sundays many attend
service there, largely, 1t is feared to get a
glimpse of the historic St Johns which
was built in $780, and which is surrounded
by an old-fashioned burying ground, con-
tanning many quaint stones of ancient date.
Then there remain the Soldiers Home to
be visited and the Hampton Normal and
Agricultural Institute for the training Of
Indians and negroes.
II longer excursio ms desired. the So
journers at Buck Roe Beach are within
easy distance of jamestown. Yorktown,
Williamsburg and that section of Virginia
which is so rich in historical associations.
Among the WashiDgtonians who have
been staying at the hotel here are Mr..
Lawrence and wife, w. f. Philes. X. G.
Batten. W. p. Carr, Miss Marie Gatewood,
c. n. Osgood. w. r. Tubbs, Mrs. H. X.
Hogan, Miss G. E. Fields. John L. Fletch-
er, w. r. Phillips and Mr. Loundgren and
wife.
During the latter part of July and the
first of August there was a jolly camping
party here from Washington. Their camp.
Camp Roaring Luck" was situated far
enough from the hotel to secure privacy.
and was near enough for the campers to
go over and dance of evening when
they were minded.
This pleasant party, which has just gone
up to the city, was composed of the follow
ing members: Miss Anna Kendall, Miss
Alice Stearns Miss Edith Maddren, Miss
Edith Marean Miss Francine Marean, Miss
Bessie Lynch, Miss Alice Wood. Miss Il.
Bessie Dawes. Mr. H. Wood. VIII Kendall.
Will Kent, Will Crowell, Guy Marean, Her.
