AN ENCHANTING LAND.
Where There is Everything to Charm
the Tourist.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
MACKINAC ISLAND, August 6, 1901
Why more Washingtonians in search Of
a cool, pleasant place in which to rest and
recuperate after the season is over. have
not found Mackinac Island is something
not easily understood.
The island is a tiny empire. with it's
capital harbor and hotel. to which the
outer world should pay the homage un-
questionably it's due. The village has the
qualntness and character of some old
French or German village, the island
abounds with natural curios, while its ar
caded drives and paths entice and enchant
the visitor beyond description. The only
way to realize the beauty of Mackinac
Island and the pleasures it affords is to
visit it in person No illustration or de-
scription does it justice. such is it's charm
of climate, cleanliness, GOODNESS and com
panionship The beauty, the healthfuIness
and fascination of the place have hardly
been known in the east and certainly not
fully comprehended, but now on the thresh-
old of the twentieth century a boom for
M, ,ckinac Island is predicted and a new and
delightful resort for a great many people
who are as yet unacquainted with it's mar
VelOuS attractions.
Added TO the natural beauty and charm,
of the place the Grand Hotel accommoda-
tions are declared to be as good as
those at any summer resort. Magnif-
Gently fine indeed is the view of the island
lake and sky from the broad piazza Of
this hotel, over six hundred feet in length
Nor are the Mackinac Island visitors be-
hind the eastern people in the yachting
and golfing fervor. There are several golf
clubs on the island that have their own
ground, besides, the hotel has it's private
grounds.
The drives around and about the island
brlng before one the most beautiful and
Inspiring panorama of natural scenery in
the world The purity of the atmosphere
the delightful climate-the temperature
ranging from % to 40 degrees during the
months of July and Augustine UNIQUE
quaint and picturesque surroundings make
TINS an ideal resort The steamboat SER
vice on the lakes is the best on the conti-
nent. Think of the cool lake breezes every
evening and night and the necessity for
blankets while the Washingtonians are par
boiling.

it is worth seeing may be left to the in
stinct of the multitude to determine.
| have noticed that the preference is
marked for life and motion. The inanimate
exhibits are useful, instructive and necas-
sary, but they do not attract l heard
chance visitor Justify the midway by say
ing he preferred Tive ethnology to dead
ethnolOgy" The ethnoIogical building is
of scientific and even of popular value but
camp of real Indians is infinitely more
instructive to the crowd.
This preference for life and motion is
shown most strongly in the government
fish exhibit. That is something which
many tourists who go to Washington miss,
for it is apart from the Smithsonian and
the National Museum, and they do not
learn it's value. But here in Buffalo every
body finds the fish exhibit. If l were to
make a guess it would be that twice as
many people see is visit the chief at
fractions on the midway.
Another Illustration of this liking for mo-
tion is seen in the various adaptations of
the bograph, the cinemetograph and the
mutoscope. A fair proportion of the visit
ors who come to Buffalo are from towns
and villages which do not have continuous
performance or vaudeville theaters. These
recent adaptations are novelty to them
as marking an advance over the panorama,
the magic lantern and the stereopticon.
The Living Photographs.
The living photographs as l heard them
called, also have practical side in their
educational value. This is shown in the
exhibit of the Washington public schools.
At certain hours every day In the govern
ment building there is a rush to the recess
or curtained hallway in which this exhibit
tion is given. These moving pictures of
school life and teaching seem to do away
with the necessity of dry lectures on the
science of pedagogics. The whole system
of instruction is vividly yet thoroughly rep
resented, and the comments of the visitors
show that they appreciate it. Possibly by
the time another exhibition is held further
advances will be made by an inventive
genius in these living representations. 1t
may be that some means will be found
for representing an ancient Egyptian kin
dergarten In contrast with an American pri-
mary school of the present day. 1t would
be necessary to show the rod or the birch,
for the Egyptian children five or six thou
sand years ago We're disciplined pretty Sc
verely. An illustration of this sort might
make the American youth grateful for the
progress of recent years.

OCEAN GROVE, N. j.. August % 1901
The second week of camp meeting has
been remarkable for the largely increased
audiences at many exercises and the new
arrivals at the Grove are legion. The
weather for the entire week has been a
source of deep qualification to the pro-
moters Of the camp meeting and has aided
materially in helping the perfectly or
ganZed work.
The hotels and boarding houses are ex-
periencing genuine boom just now and
the unpromising month of July has already
been offset by the immense August throng.

CAPE MAY, N. j., August %, 1901
The gayety at this charmingly situate ed
resort continues to be as intense as it has
been during the summer, notwithstanding
that the summer season, according to the
calendar will close Saturday. There WILL
however, be many visitors here during Sep
tember. including large number of Wash
ingtonians, and many of the larger hotels,
because of the heavy bookings for the early
part of the month will not close until the
middle of September, while all the smaller
ones will remain open until the 1st of
October.
The cottage colony will not in any way
be reduced in it's number until after the
Goth of the month at least. This place has
passed through a most remarkable and
the greatest season in it's history, and more
persons have been here than in any pre-
vi0uS season.
There have been numerous contests on
the golf links during the other days Of
the week, which ends Saturday afternoon

unoccupied houses shown by the brokers
testify to this fact which indicates for
one thing that the supply has not exceeded
the demand during the year that is past.
Effect of Apartment Houses.
f There has been "a good deal of building
during the present season, and much is now
in progress. and the effect on the market is
subject of good deal of speculation on
the part of those who study realty con'di-
tions. Perhaps the phase of the present
condition that is more discussed than any
other one is the influence of the apartment
houses. Many of these structures are al
ready in and more are becoming avail
able, in fact, alarger number than has
been the case during any previous year,
and naturally there is a good deal of curl
osity to know whether the demand for
houses is going to be lessened.
Thus far the new competitor of the house
has not affected the demand and whether
the market will be sufficiently broad to con-
tinue to absorb the new supply of these
bee hives is something that cannot be posi-
lively answered at this time. The range
Of choice Of houses has also broadened, and
it seems that old and new are in good de-
m&nd. Such a condition can only lead to
one conclusion, and that is the population
of the city is increasing and that the ac
tivity in building is only an effort to supply
the market.

future value and growth of Washington
suburban property, the Washington and

built, at an expense of $4,000. an extension

improvements are in progress The Dis

Anacostia avenue, and the large mill of
the Steel Cut Cereal Company, which is to
be located on this property, is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. The public school,
for which Congress appropriated So, 900, is
in course of construction, and number
of private residences have been added to
the forty fifty houses already located
on the subdivision.
A seven-:'oom cottage for L. D. Hayes
