days, last week being the height of the
season. While it is hardly probable
that any of the hotel employees or the
cottage help Will be discharged before
the first of September, there will he
many persons to leave before that
time. The bathing this time of year
is excellent. Many of those who were
afraid to venture knee deep in the surf
are now able to swim quite a distance.
Among the many apt ones and those
most frequently seen on the beach are
Mrs. Freeman, HobsOn, Ray, and Miss
Brown. The monster minstrel show
by the Mathewson walters Tuesday
night was a ''howling success" A tent
was stretched on the lawn of the hotel
and seats to the number of four hun

circus wasn't in it as to the size or fun
making Forty male voices under the
careful training of Bill Orme sang Sc
lectiOns, which were applauded with
so much fervor that several times the
prOtracted hand-clapping interferred
with the regular order of the program.

On reaching Matunich this party was

After coffee and the male dozen had
had cigars, dances were indulged<in
until the small hours of morning.
The Selika Quartette, which was so
popular last season, has been making
hits at every concert given.
Mr. VIM. Brown is still here but
will soon leave to meet his wife, who
is in New York. He is around such a

to be one of the boys.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK
spooky Bit Of Femininity,
Vino Gets After Belated
Owls, in Lynchburg.

LYNCHBURG, VA, November 6.-(Spe-
cial)-A few months ago in the towns o.
the Southwest from Roanoke to Bristol,
inclusive, strange stories were told of a
tall, slim, figure in black. supposed to
be yelled woman, who at late and un-
seemly hours suddenly emerged from
dark corners and chased those men who
were delayed by business, the club, or
some other reason from reaching their
homes in good time All kinds OF weird
stories were told of how men had mar
rowly escaped being clasped in the long
and bony arms of the spooky stranger;
how shots had been fired at her with
out effect and how she had always disap-
peared when her capture seemed certain.
For weeks past nothing has been heard of
the woman in black, but few nights ago
il is said that in the neighborhood OF
Fourteenth and Fillmore streets the un-
canny creature was seen by youth who
hastily ran to a cOlored man to help him
give chase, but when the colored ally
reached the spot with the boy the figure
had disappeared. The police have heard
nothing of the woman in black but they
have heard rumors of supposed "head-
less woman who has been, it is claimed,
seen in the suburbs.

CHARGES DEFEAT TO HILL.
Says lie is Incompetent as n Leader.
His Coal Plank.

ALBANY. y. Y, November 6.-(Spe-
cial.)-Chairman of Democratic County
Committee Zeb y. Dyer, is outspoken in
the opinion that former Governor Hill
was the cause of the Democratic defeat
in the State.
To-day MI. Dyer said: David B. Hill
is incompetent as a leader. and never
was known to be straight Every place
where the rule of Hill was acknowledged,
the Democratic party went down to de-
feat In other places, such as Tammany
Hail. Rockland county, and elsewhere.
where the party leadership was in other
and more capable hands, the Democrats
rolled up handsome vote. In order to
be a successful leader. one must have
brains and must be straight. David B..
Hill never possessed either of these quail
fications.'
Had he not placed the foolish plank
on the coal question in the platform, or
rather had the leadership of the party
been in other hands, the Democratic land
slide would have been complete, and VIC
tory assured to the grand old party of
Jefferson and jackson. But we still have
hopes of 3: brighter future. Under the
acknowledged leadership of such wise ana
ca apable men as Edward NJ. Shepard, of
New York. for instance, I believe the
party can be rehabilitated, and brought
back to the strength and prestige it en-
loved previous to the advent of Hill into
the political arena.
