Atlantic City as a Winter san,tarium.

While for many years the capacity of At
lantic City's hotels and boarding 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 a 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 be-
come better known in this respect, so that its
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 l2 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 az for Summer
pleasure.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Proposed Army Increase to Cost
S51O.OOO Annually.

Washington, Feb. GAS soon as the
reading of the historic farewell adj
dress of Washington was concluded by
Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, in the
senat yesterday MIR. Hawley, Of Con-
necticut, chairman of the military af-
fairs committee, called up the bill pro-
viding for the enlistment of two addi-
tional regiments of artillery for SER
vice in manning the heavy coast de-
Tense batteries which congress has pro-
vided during the past two years. There
was no factious opposition to the meas
ure, and it passed by a vote of So to
4. The regiments provided for by the
bill will cost $3.50. 600 the first year and
$4,000 when recruited to their fun
strength. Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, Of
ferred n secured the adoption of a
resolution instructing the committee on
laval affairs to inquire and report to
the senate whether a warship to be
named the George Washington, and
to be equal to the most powerful in
the world, could be constructed and
commissioned within II months. In
executive session Mr.. Morgan precipi-
tated q Cuban discussion by arguments
showing how Spain neglected the re-
concentrates, who are dying by thou
sands of hunger.
Washington's Birthday was cele-
brated in the house, after a motion of
Mr.. Bailey to adjourn had been voted
down, with a vast deal of speech
making, and it was also signalized by
the firing of the first gun in opposition
to Hawaiian annexation. Mr.. john
son, an Indiana Republican, delivered
a speech that electrified the house
and the galleries in denunciation of
what he termed an attempt to cut
loose from the traditional policy Of the
United states and enter upon a scheme
of colonization that had proved the ruin
of empires and of nations. His remarks
were enthus lstically a%pplauded by the
minority, Il many Republicans Joined
in the demonstration. The general de-
bate on the sundry civil bill was con-
cluded.

A POSTMASTER MURDERED.
His House Burned Down and His Bah!
Killed-Other Children wounded.

w
Lake City, S. c., Feb. 23.-About /
o'clock in the morning Postmaster
Baker, a negro, and his child were shot
to death and their bodies cremated.
1t is said that a mob numbering sew
eral hundred surrounded Bakers house,
where the postoffice is kept, set fire to
the building and opened fire with guns
upon it. Baker was killed, his two
daughters and one son were seriously
wounded. The woman had a baby in
her arms, and she says that the ball
that went through her hand passed
through the baby and killed 1t. All the
wounded are Manned for life.
Baker was appointed postmaster
three months ago. Lake City is a town
of 300 inhabitants, and the negro pop
ulation in the vicinity is large. There
was a protest at Bakers appointment,
but it vas not a very vigorous one.
Some time afterward he was fired upon
from ambush. Recently Baker moved
his family into a house on the out
skirts of the town, where he also es-
tablished the p~ostoffice. A week ago
a body of men who kept concealed be-
hind buildings and fences riddeld the
building with shot and rifle bullets.
They shot high, and no one was hurt,
but it was supposed they conveyed a
warning. 1t was a short time before
that Senators Tillman and McLauren
and Congressman Horton had asked the
postmaster general to remove Baker.
because of his color, and the request
had been refused.
AS a result of the latest outrage two
of Bakers daughters a their arms
broken close to the shoulder and will
probably lose them. Another of the
girls is believed to be fatally wounded.
Two of the seven occupants Of the
house escaped with slight injuries. The
bodies of Baker and the infant We're
cremated in the building, and all mail
matter was destroyed.
