The pale cheeks, the dark shadows under the eyes, the general
dropping of the young wifes form, what do they mean? They
mean that her nerves are failing, that her strength is going and that
something must be done to help her through the coming trials of

Atlantic City as a Winter s%anitarlum.

While for many years the capacity of At
lantic City's hotels and board ng houses has
been increasing rapidly and are still strained
to their fullest extent during the summer
season, it is only of late years that its great
value as Il winter sanitarium has been known.
Year after year many persons rushed off to
the South and the West India Islands during
the winter, while in the opinion of unbiased
persons who have tried all the different re-
sorts, they could find nearer home the same
comforts and health without the enervating
influence so common to southern climes,
But slowly and surely Atlantic City has he
come better known in this respect, so that it's
winter population exceeds the summer
crowds of some of its wOuld-be rivals.
Atlantic City throughout the Winter pre-
serves Il temperature of 10 to 12 degrees
higher than the surrounding country. 1t is
claimed this is caused by the Gulf stream
swerving at this point nearer shore, and this
fact added to the position of the boardwalk
aud bench, nearly facing the south so receiv-
ing all the benefits of the sun, makes it as
valuable for Winter health as for Summer
pleasure.
The getting there. The Philadelphia and
Reading route atlantic City Railroad) J, has a
complete schedule of superior equipped trains
running from Chestnut street and South
street ferries, Philadelphia, at convenient
hours to Atlantic City, and while during the
winter months the famous 80 minute Flyer
is laid off, the trains make excellent time
and are SO comfortable that the 70 or 80 min
utes consumed in the passage from tho Quaker
city to the city by the sea are hardly notice
able.

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 22.-Last season it
was not au uncommon occurrence for the
trains from the North to reach here from one
to five hours late. The remarkable regu-
larity of the arrival on time of the Southern
Railway trains this season is a matter of
comment and favorable criticism around the
hotels and by all incoming tourists. The
schedule of the Florida Limited, the fast
train over the Southern Railway and the
Florida Central and Peninsular, is several
hours shorter than that of last year. but the
track has been put in excellent condition and

THE DEMOCRATIC' CAUCUS.
The Majority Members of Council Lave
Their Troubles.

The Majority Members U touhch bhNe
Their Troubles.
The nine Democratic members of the Bor-
ough Council have held one or two prelimin-
airy meetings since the election, with a view
to making a slate, but the one held last
night was the first real caucus. They adj
iourncd, however, without coming to an
agreement as to who shall fill the offices dur
ing the fiscal year. 1t is said the best of
feeling exists, and there is no doubt but that
the Democrats will come to an agreement be-
fore the 9TH of March, when Council will
reOrganize.
There are any number Of candidates fer
the various positions, and new ones are
cropping out daily. The bone of contention
at last nights caucus, it is said, was over the
Solicitor and Secretaryships. 1t has been gen.
orally conceded that NJ. NJ. Burke, Esq,
would have no opposition as the successor to
Solicitor Pomeroy, but one of the Council
men from the Fifth ward demanded the APP
pointment of John Il, Coyle, Esq, and the
persuasive eloquence of his colleagues could
not change him. This was the bone of con.
]tention and the principal reason for a dis
agreement.
The Secretaryship was also freely VENT
A'AA'Nf " hN' eIIAA'h'N hAlNhlANH III wv
person of ex-Justice of the Peace M. j.
Lawlor. His name was presented by a
Councilman from the Fourth ward. Another
eX-Justicc, John J. Cardin, is also an appli.
cant, and the names of John Curtin and
Young Campbell, from Turkey Run, were
presented. James Coakley, in the opinion OF
some, would fill the bill.
The blue coats and brass buttons attract
many of the faithful. Patrick Graham
may succeed Chief Tosh in fact, his chance.
are said to be very good. Martin Foyle
Martin O'Hara, James Kirwan, Patrick
Murphy, Thomas Hand, and a score of others
including Councilman Englert's dark
horse" are also applicants for policemen.
The Water Superintendent is giving the
caucus some trouble. The majority of the
members are anxious to put aside their per.
sonal desires and elect a competent man fol
the position. The Iame of Councilman
William Lecture has been suggested, and he
is being urged to accept, Hlving a thorough
knowledge Of the plant and knowing it,
needs, he would be the right man in tn,
right place" His appointment would meet
with general approval. Other names ar,
mentioned, those of John j. Cardin anC
James Bell.
1t is said Councilman Brennan is satisfied
with a small plum-that of assistant to til,
Water Superintendent.
While the caucus failed to agree last even
ing, there is no doubt they will come to
satisfactory understanding. They should en-
joy the frnits Of their victory.
