A New Bicycle Path to be Built ON
the Turnpike across the
Meadows.

The Atlantic City Review, ofSatHrday,
announces by authority of Judge Joseph
Thompson, one of the owners of the
Turnpike, that the stockholders of the
corporation will at once commence the
construction of bicycle path across the
meadows from Atlantic City to Plea
santville-the same to be built along
the side of the present roadway. The
very large number of bicyclists, which
is steadily increasing, makes it necces-
sary that some Improvement should be
made to accommodate them, and any
manent pathway will be most heartily
welcomed by all devotees of the. wheel.
The chief obstacle to be encountered in
making pathway that will stay, is the
high and storm tides that frequently
sweep across the meadows with great
force and velocity. Unless the whole
bed of the Turnpike roadway is raised
several feet higher than it's present
grade, there is no certainty that it will
stand for any length of time. Time and
again the railroads, which run right
alongside the Turnpike, have been. wash
ed out, and all trains stopped until the
damages could be temporarily repaired
which necessitated bringing hundreds
of car loads of gravel to ill up the deep
washouts. Any pathway constructed
upon the present level of the Turnpike is
bound. sooner or later, to share the
same fate.
A much better pathway could be
secured by completing the plank one
that was started last year and abandon
ed for lack of capital or want of conf
dence A few thousand dollars would
complete it, and we should then be sure
of a communication with Atlantic City
that would not be washed away at
every high tide, and it would be passable
in all kinds of weather. While a path
way at the present grade would be a
great improvement, one well-constructed
above the reach of the tide, would be a
vastly greater one. We hope yet to see
some enterprising capitalists complete
this abandoned but feasible project, and
give us communication that can al.
ways be depended upon.

convention.
AT 1896 Chairman Woodmansee called
the convention to order. The commit
tee on credentials was not ready to report,
so the committee on rules made its re-
port on order of business. The rules of
the Fifty-third congress were recommend
ed to govern the convention. The report
was adopted.
Tie resolutions which were reported
through the chairman of the resolutions
committee, declare unfaltering allegiance
to the principles and policies of the party
of protection, sound money, reciprocity
and patriotism, as expressed in the st.
Louis platform. The faith which prompt.
ed the nomination and election Of Will
liam Mckinley and a republican con-
gress had been justified and we congratu-
late the country on the returning pros
perity. We pledge anew the organized
effort Of league men throughout the

and congress In sending monetary COM
mission to European nations; for inau-
gurating steDs for the annexation of

Several negroes tried to offer n resoln-

Louisville, July A. James r. Hind

Notable and unique to a marked degree
beyond any held for more than score
!, of years in Kentucky, was the convention
(which today and tonight brought to
louisville from all parts of the "blOody
bund" the sturdiest sons of democratic
refathers with the purpose, as they
put it, in view of sustaining true democ-
racy and bringing back such of those
who have strayed after silver idol.
The most prominent of Kentucky
statesmen were in attendance. There
was almost constant flow of Oratory,
weary, and every face revealed the zeal
which was felt in the cause which led
to their assemblage. 1t may be said, too,
that firmly as they were imbued with
the principles which underlie their party
of national democracy, little bitterness
towards free silver here found express
SION While determined to fight without
compromise or yielding to advocates of
free silver, it was almost the unanimous
conviction that the true spirit should con-
sist in tireless effort to ''reclaim" those
who had parted from them and once
again enable Kentucky and every state
to present a solid, united democracy to
oppose the republican party or any po-
litical foe.
Ample satisfaction with the work of
the convention was to be read in the
faces and bearing of all the delegates
when final adjournment came, and con-
fideRce was freely expressed in the ulti-
mate winning of victory which would
lead to national success in the new po-
litical contest.

Detroit, july 14-Leonmrd b. Crawford
of Newport, Ny, was this afternoon
elected president of the National Repub-
lican League. While the contest for the.
presidency had all the appearance of o
close struggle, the result can scarcely
be said to have Deen IN doubt. Two bal
lots by states were taken. the second one
being necessary to verify the first, In
which the detailed result could not be
determined owing to the confusion caused
by numerous changes Of votes and the
possible airing of the local differences in
of the second ballot was not announced
because Mr.. Crawferd's opponent all
| went over to him and made it unanimous.
/ The only candidate feared by the friends
of Crawford was Frederick Fleitz Of
Pennsylvania. A. NJ. Higgins of Indiana
was third in the race for present.
According to the indications, L. j.

agreed to-. During the preparation of a

western members urged the policy Of say

Henley.

Henley On Thames, July 14.-In the
trial heat for the diamond SOULS of
Berkes station today, DIR. Mcdowell of
the Delaware Boat club, Chicago, beat
the Hon. Il. A. Guinness of the Thames
Rowing club. Mcdowell won easily by
a length. Time, $40 Is. Tomorrow
he will meet II. III. Teneyck, Westchester
Boat club. Worcester. Mass; j. Bluso,
Dehoop Rowing club, Amsterdam; and J.
II. Hogan. Newross Boat club, Ireland.
Dr. Mcdowell made splendid start,
his easy, powerful stroke giving him an
advantage which he never lost to the end
of the race. He was quite clear at the
end Of Temple island, and from that point
seemed to be merely padding, so far as ex-
ertiOn was concerned.
He reached the half distance in three
minutes and five seconds, and was then
three lengths ahead. He rowed beauti-
full race. not giving Guinness any wash
and reached Frawley Court boat house in
four minutes five seconds, the three-quar.
ter distance stake in FIVE minutes, and the
mile in six minutes and fifty-one seconds.
Here Guinness made squirt and reduced
McDowell's lead by two boat lengths, but
Mcdowell had plenty of reserve and soon
drew ahead again.

Be Honest First.

Presiding Elder Ellington preached
in Trinity Yesterday morning from the
text. He that showed thee oh man,
what is good; and what doth the Lord
require of thee, but to do justly, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God?" Ere starting in on his
discourse proper, the speaker called
the attention of his hearers to the fact
that Rev. DR.. Morrison had tod him
there was a fair prospect of paying off
the S130, 600 debt OF the Southern Me- b.
odist church by the close of July. Then
referring to the text Elder Ellington
said the chapter of the text represent
ed relations between God the judge aud
man who feels himself responsible to
his God. The question is one which
has occupied all departments Of human
thinking among men both small and
great. The question is, What i going
to become of me in my sins? No mat
ter what Adam did, he is not respon-
sible for what is now before my mind.
How can | get rid of he consequences
of sin for which | am personally re-
spOnsible? The great fact stands out,
| am sinner before God, and what is
to become of me? This has rushed
men into all sorts of experiments to
escape from the consequences of sin.
Some men imagine ritualistic perform
ance5 will absolve them, but find out
their mistake, for this does not satisfy
the need of the soul. Je us Christ has
satisfied the demand for satisfaction
for sin, and as the text shows, we are
required to do justly, to do mercy, to
wa k hum bly, before GCd. There must
be an arrangement whereby God in
extending mercy can be just. And the
plan upon which God works is the plan
on which he requires us to work. Dis
honestly and liberality do not go to-
gether. You must be honest before
you can be merciful You must pay
your debts before posing as benefac-
tor. Real charity must come from the
heart, from the love in ones heart for
our fe} low man. Then we can walk
humbly in all honesty before God.
