ATLANTIC CITY, March %. 1903.
Atlantic City is in it's infancy as a winter
resort, but it is a very lusty infancy. A
very few years ago not more than two or
three of the big beach front hotels kept
open after October or opened before June.
Practically every hotel on the island is
open now, including the small ones on the
side avenues, and this will be the last year
that any of the principal hotels will have a
closed season.
During the past week the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroads have been running
all their trains in sections from Philadel-
phia and New York
The new grotto of the Hotel Rudolph,
which has many novel features, was opened
this week. and has become one of the most
popular resorts on the island. The cafe
Of the Hotel Islesworth, after undergoing
elaborate changes and the introduction of
many new features. was also thrown open
to- the public this week. The Hotel I'M
perial, on Maryland avenue, is being en-
larged by its proprietor, @. w. kendrick,
and the Hotel Hatboro, on Kentucky ave-
nue., is also being enlarged. A New York
syndicate has purchased q block OF land
on Atlantic avenue in the Chelsea district
on which will be erected an immense apart
ment house.

colored Girl a Fugitive.

Salne Wilson, colored. seventeen years
old, was taken to the house Of detention
yesterday afternoon by Detective Lacy and
held as fugitive from her home in Baiti-
more. There Is nothing about the girls
complexion to indicate her negro blood, and
the detective found she had registered at
a local hotel where her color was not
questioned. Her father is in the laundry
business in Baltimore and he came here
last night and took his daughter home
His statement regarding the girl was that
he sent her to Plum Point, Calvert county,
Nd. to get rid of an admirer. She taught
school there a short time and left. The
girl did not object to returning home with
her father.

progress already made. We ought to in
form ourselves that we may know the


truth.
Man never is, but ever to be blest,"
but. while there is noble dfscont ent we
ought to avoid the ignoble dfssatisfa ction
which is apt to be due to prejudice or ig-
norance. and which suggests change for the
mere sake of change. Change is not neces-
sarily progress. and the restless agitation
of changes may be hindrance to progress
Here in the District we have now such for
tunate governmental conditions as, COM
pared with those revealed from time to
time in the large cities Of the country
ought to challenge sharply any sug-
gestfon Of fundamental changes. Fortu-
nately this is the general attitude of the
intelligent public Of the District the most
intelligent and philosophical in the United
States and the only one which actually
governs by public opinion.
Mr. Barry Buckley commended the &C.
ton Of President Roosevelt in reappointing
Commissioner mcfarland and said that the
earnest work shown by the South Washing

section of the city into a new prominence.
Major Richard Sylvester called attention
to the fact that headquarters knew of only

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
General and Personal News From the

Through her attorneys, Messrs. Mason

tive possession of the property involved,
and said that. although Charles Morgan
was named as the defendant in the pro-
ceedings, the prosecution had failed to

regarded as constructive possession by the
husband 1t was also shown at the hearing

ton is built is owned by the plaintiff, while

LOCK STEP ABOLISHED.
Sensible Change Made at State
Prison.

AS practical result of the efforts
which have been made for prison re-
form in New Jersey, ma we'll as in
other States, the lock-step was aboI-
ished at the Trenton State prison on
Monday. The convict men marched
two abreast eighteen inches apart
With their arms by their sides. This
makes the line much shorter and offers
the guards better opportunity to
watch the prisoners, while it take,
less time. TO help the prisoners for
get the folded arms regulation head
keeper Osborne has established rule
thar when passing through the prison
corridors the prisoners shall hold the
right hand above the head. Another
change which will be inaugurated in
the near future will be dispensing
WITH the striped suits now worn by
the ccnvicts. Owing to the large
number on hand at the present time,
ali immediate change cannot be made
- @N'H0 hAtAAt tuA tlOAcU0A uOllhIbs
However, no more Zebra suits will
be purchased and as the men at work
in the different shops wear out t"eir
limit Of suits they will be given new
ones. Mr.. Osborne has received ans
wers to letters sent by him to prison
officials throughout the Unite.. States
where the iockstep and striped suits
have been abolished aud in each in
stance the reply stated that the Chi ages
have had a tendency to elevate the
prisoner instead of degrading him.
1t will take long time for the pris-
oners, especially those who have served
several years, to forget the step they
followed SO long, while the habit of
folding their arms is one not easy to
forget.
The change is good one aud should
have been inangurated long ago.

Commenting on this the Cali of that

How much better it wonld have

Ignorance of the facts only tends to
spread an epidemic. and to the extent
it does spread in consequence of such
ingorance, the health authorities are
responsible.
