ANOTHER NEW
SETTLEMENT PROJECTED.
Land to be Filled in along
the Meadow Turnpike.
a NEW VILLAGE TO SPRING INTO EXISTENCE.
MuDHoLEs TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO
STREETS AND BUILDING SITES AND
HOUSES TO BE BUILT AMID THE HAUNTs
OF THE MOSQUITO.

By the following article, which we
copy from the Atlantic City Daily Press
of Tuesday, it will be seen that move
ment is on foot to s'fill in'' the meadow
lands along the Turnpike to Atlantic
City. Most of the adjoining tracts along
the route have been quietly bought up
within a year or two, and as the modern
steam dredger has made it comparative
~ easy to fill in" such land, it is by no
means improbable that another genera
ton may see Pleasantville and Atlantic
City united by line ofbroad streets and
handsome houses.
The Press says:
sAnothec important meadow land i'm
provement is shortly to be inaugurated.
The large tract of land in the vicinity of
the tower, purchased by Aaron Jacoby,
Pitman Smith and Samuel Myers, is to
be filed in by dredger, divided off into
lots, with graded streets, and otherwise
improved. 1t will be known as North
port. The land has been mapped off
and shows forty length and cross streets.
The central avenue has been named
Broadway, and will be 100 feet wide,
the same width as Atlantic avenue.
About 1000 feet of the land faces the
Pleasantville Turnpike. The tract also
has a front on the Thoroughfare OF one
and q halt miles. The front will be
given over to the fisherman and yacht
men.
Midway in the tract a large and COM
modious half way house will be erected
Tor driving parties and bicyclists. 1t
will be finished in time for the summer
season.
Another improvement under considera-
ton is the building of draw to connect
the Penrose tract with Northport, max
ing it straight route to the mainland.
II present plans are carried out, consid-
erable money will be expended upon the
property, and by filling it that much
more OF valuable real estate will be
added to the tax duplicate. 1t is under
stood that the promoters object is to
place the lots on the market.

Literary Note.

ssBook News which publishes in each
issue an expression of opinion from
leading authors in regard to their own
personal view of their work, gives in it's
February number the following remark
able utterance by Sarah Grand in regard
to her purpose in writing 'The Beth
Book. in which, as will be seen, she
touches upon the errors of hecritics:
sIn influencing their daughters choice
of q husband parents are apt to consider
q mans means, manner and position
rather than his principles or ideals. IL
he prove to be a good fellow in society
they are content to inquire no farther.
Many men of excellent manners in public
are men of most corrupt mind, whose
conversation in private is continual
source of suffering to their wives. |
wrote The Beth Book to show what q
refined woman must suffer when forced
to associate with such man, the newt
able blight, the certain deterioration
sthat settles upon her even when she has
the force of character to escape absolute
corruption. The critics have almost all
missed this, the one purpose OF the Dook,
and pounced upon something quite
incidental, and merely introduced by
way of illustration, and as the vlvlsec-
tive incident, to which they attribute an
exaggerated Importance. The subj Jects
discussed came inevitably into the lite o.
an intelligent woman situated as Beth
was at the time of which was writing;
abe could not have avoided them, and,
therefore. no picture of her would be
faithful that ignored them; but it is in
Tho conditions of her life, not In her intel.

III asked point-blank, sDo you have
any mosquitoes here?" Pete Smith
will answer, frankly, sNO, sir, not
any to speak of. Once in a while a
few'Il git bIowed in, but they don't
hang errOund. Now, down below
th' pint there, where Bill Jones lives,
they's awful, an SO they is on Sanibei
an Captiva. But you kin see from
tn lay o. tn Ian here, the sou'east
wind is bound to keep 'em all driv
out to sea-
And Bill Jones, down below the
ssp'int,v will say, mo, sir, mighty
seldom; the sou'west wind keeps 'em
blowed away from here,-though
tbey's bad up there where Pete
Smith lives, an you kin hardly
breath fur 'em sometimes down on
L Estero.v
Such information and acquaintance
will lead inevitably to the sad con-
clusion that with regard to mOsqui-
toes "all men" lin that country J
ssare liars" but they don't. mean to
be. Discrepancies arise in this way;
The mosquitoes at Pete Smiths get
tired of sucking on him, get cloyed,
as it were,-and "hang errOund" IN
the bushes out OF sight until fresh
meat in the shape Of Bill Jones or
some other stranger happens along,
when they go for him in clouds that
darken the sun, or moon and stars,
as the case may be. Naturally, Bill
Jones is led to think the mosquitoes
are bad at Pete Smiths, and vice
! versa.-Rs G. Robinson, In February
