ON THE CONTINENT.
Only Those Who Know the Ropes
Can Travel with Comfort.
From the Boston Herald.


Rich foreigners travelling on the continent
subject themselves to many annoyances
which strike the American first-class trav-
eler as entirely unnecessary but they also
take solid comfort in their own way and
according to princely lights. Barring lux
uries to which the great railway corpora
tions here have accustomed us, the modes
of getting about in European countries are
not TO be despsed. On the other side vow
ageurs still voyage with all their luggage
partment, and because of this time-honored
custom regular class of thieves DIV from
one end of the steel thoroughfares to the
other, ever on the alert for the satchel of
jewels or the unwary stranger with yalu-
ables in handbag.
The reason wealthy persons burden them
selves with such things is there is always
danger of the larger baggage being robhed
in transfer. No one has ever been able to
keep strap on his or her trunks: rorters
on the other side coolly removing them un-
der the very eyes of the owner Great
thefts have been committed in France and
Italy on the different railway lines. either
at the station where the luggage was mt
on board the train or by those officials in
charge of 1t before it reached its destina
ton. No Tourist who has thus suffered has
been able to get redress, and hence the ma
tive, aware of the weakness of these rail-
way of1cials, carries the tempting handbag,
which in its time may also dsa ppear
But aside from these eccentricities and
also the bother of paying for baggage by
weight, the wealthy man who has lived
abroad long enough to know the ropes GER
tainly travels en- prince. His rugs and his
cushions are a study. His elaborate dress
ing bag, his books, his facilities for taking
something nourshing en- route, are maryels

New Buildings.

To meet the instructions Of the Commits
sioners the committee adopted a system of
checks on the receipts at the beach for
rents, ct, which rendered 1T deslra bic to
rearrange the entrance stiles and erect a

Potomac Water Supply.

Through the accommodation of the com
missioner of fish and fisheries, authority
was granted, at the request of the Commits
sioners, May II. 1893, to tap the water pipe
which carues Potomac wGter to the fish
ponds near the Washington monument, for a
supply of water for drinking, laundry, and
other purposes Ut the beach. AS The per
mission was coupled with the suggestion
that tank or other reservoir sufficient to
hold at least Il days supply Of water be
provided at the beach, in order that a
stock might be accumulated for use on
those days when the fish ponds required all
the water the mains could furnish, a cedar
tank Of about LOO gallons capacity was
purchased, but received too late to be of
service this season. Through a misunder-
standing the water supply of the beach
from this source was totally interrupted for
several days, and was never quite satisfac-
tory This difficulty vindicates the policy
of purchasing the tank, which if used dur
ing the future seasons should preclude fur
ther embarrassment of that nature.

Bath Houses.

During the buster portions of the bathing
season the then existing bath house ac-
commodatons were found to be far too
limit ed to meet the dema nds. An additional
double row of twenty-four bath houses
was erected, with the special approval Of
the Commissioners, and these afforded ma
teral relief. At least fifty more bath houses
should be provided.
A covered observation stand was also
erected for the accommodation and pro-
lection from the weather of visitors and
others, but was placed somewhat too near
the strand and the roof has been found to
be too fiat to provide full protection against
the rays of the late afternoon sun. These
defects. can readily be rectified at small cx-
pense before the opening of the next bath
ing season. The total cost of the new bath
houses and observation stand and replace
ment of a number of locks was S4a2.

New Fence.

A low paling fence was constructed the
entire length of the beach not occupied by
hath houses and other buildings. This
fence was needed to keep dogs and other
domestic animals out of the beach limits,
where they would have menaced the COM
fort and safety of bathers, and to assist in
the maintenance of good order 1t has ap-
parentlv answered the objects for when it
was designed.
The officers and employees of the beach,
other than the metropolitan police o!hcer
detailed for duty there, and their duties
and compensation, were as follows
The principal officer at the beach was the
superintendent, whose salary for the cur
rent year is 5000 per annum, a compeasA-
ton not too large for the responsibility
and labors of such a position.
The position of assistant superintendent
was established principally to provide for
due surveillance of the beach, with the CO.
operation of the police officer on duty there
during the absences of the superint ender.t
The duties performed by him We're those
of life guard as well as those of super
visory nature. The discharge of those du-
ties required the presence of the incumben,
at the beach from Z O'clock am. until q
half hour after sunset during three days oe
each week and from o'clock a M until a
half hour after sunset the remaining four
days Of the week and involved his expos;lre
to the sun during almost all day, with the
scant protection of an armless bathing suit
an attire which was necessary In order that
at all times he should be prepared to in
stantly respond to calls of distress.
Life Guards.
The life guard force consisted OF one at
81 per diem and two at 81 per diem The
hours of duty for the one at 81 and one of
those at 81 were the same as those of the
assistant superintendent. The number of
bathers and the frequency with whicn &C.
cidents were averted by the vigilance of
these guards and the assistant superin-
tendent attest the necessity for and ,he
value of their employment.
Key Boys.
Until within about three weeks of the
close of the beach only two key bows So
called, were employed. These were colored
young men of good habits and understand
ing and about eighteen years old. They re-
ceived 10 cents q day. Later it was found
advisable to employ another. who was mn
On duty at the colored beach and received
20 cents a day. The duties OF these EN-
ployes compelled their attendance at the
beach during the same hours as those of the
assistant superintendent and guards

NJ OVEMENTS NEEDED

The committee appointed by the District
Commissioners April 15 1898, Ito confer
with the superintendent of the bathing
beach. Mr.. w. Y. Stevens, and recommend
to the Commissioners such improvements
and repairs to said beach and appurte
nances, and methods of conducting the
same, as they shall deem advisa bic in

from the appropriation for that purpose"
today submitted their report
The committee Messrs. Snowden Ash

stated that the rules and regulations then
In force for the protection of persons and
property, and the maintenance of order at
the beach, We're found in many respects to
meet the object for which they were in
tended, but number of notifications
thereof and additions thereto were made
as subsequent experience from time to time
suggested. These notifications of. and ad
ditions to. the rules and regulations have
been published in The Star
The committee found the beach greatly in
need or improvements and repairs. The floats
had to be repaired and recalked, and the bas-
kets htted with solid bottoms and base
boards SO as to retain sand, and the fences
thereon extended and generally repaired.
The supports to some of the bath houses
and walks between them had decayed so
that II was hazardous to life and limb to
permit them to be used without repairs,
and many locks had to be replaced.
The sand had washed almost entirely off
between the high and low tide lines, so
that bathers on the shallow parts Of the
beach incidentally stirred up the mud un-
til the water became unsightly and unen-
durable for bathing purposes
The floats and bathing baskets were re-
paired under the immediate supervision of
Officer Samuel L. Browne of the metropoi
tan police force, who was detailed for po-
lice duty at that point
Evening star., 1898-11-14

A coating of several inches of coarse sand
was placed on the beach almost its entire
length and for q width of about eighty
feet. In the course of this work a num-
ber of inequalities in the bottom were
found, and as far practicable, brought up
to the common grade. While the deposit
of sand was not regarded as in the nature
radical change in the appearance of the
beach, and increased the comfort and safe
ty of the bathers.
The beach was also extended and cleaned
up to well defined line OF demarkaton
between it and the terrace. The commit
tee regrets that the means at disposal for
the Improvement of the beach did not then
seem to justify the grading and grassing
of the terrace,

SCHOOL AT KENNESAW.

The committee appointed by the Noon.
day Baptist Association to select the most
desirable point within the territory of the
Association for the location OF High
School, met at Kennesaw, Ca, Friday,
February 4th. and decided to recommend
kennesaw as having the most advantages.
The school will be under the direction of
the Association, but will not be doctrinal
o: UNCONVENTIONAL school, and can be
taken advantage OF by any one who wishes
to do SO. IL will be capable of accommo>
dating quite a number OF students, and
will be in charge Of corps of compel emit
teachers.
The building site of the school is the
highest point within the corporate limits
IS situated in twelve acre grove of mag.
nlhcent oaks, within the bounds Of which
ia a spring unsurpassed by any in North
Georgia. This ground was donated by the
citizens OF Kennesaw, together with some
thing over $1,000 90 in money that was
contributed by them and other public spr>
tied persons in the vicinity of Kennesaw.
Kennesaw is on the Western & Atlantic
r. r., % miles from Atlanta, and is the
highest point between Kennesaw Noun
ain and Chattanooga, being ll08 feet
above the level Of the sea, which is about
GO feet higher than Atlanta.
kennesaw is the modern name for his.
torc Big Shanty," the point at which the
General was captured by Andrews and
his meG under such thrilling circumstances
during the late war, is in sight Of and only
short drive :roln Kennesaw Mountain,
the scene Of the famous Battle of Kenne-
saw Mountain" and the proposed "Ken>
resaw National Park" Kennesaw and
surrounding country is noted for the fer,
tility of it's soil and the inirequent occur
renee of drouents, and it's water is une-
qualled. AS fine fruit as the state affords
is grown in and around Kennesaw.
There are two white and two colored
churches at Kennesaw, we'll attended and
interesting Sunday schools. A literary
and musical society is being organized, in
which much interest in manifested, and
which is expected to be productive of
much good. In connection with this
society we hope in the near future to have
library and reading.'room.
Kennesaw is q stopping point for al
regular day trains, has postoffice, tele>
graph facilities, express Office and q nice
depot. all situated conveniently near the
proposed High School. The railroad has
accorded a special rate Of one fare for the
round trip from any point on its line to
Kennesaw and return for students attend
ing this school. Kennesaw is within one.
half mile, geographically, OF the center of
the Associations territory. 1t is thought
that it will be only question of few
days before the Association will have a
special meeting to confirm this decision,
and the school will soon be in process OF
erection.
