OCEAN GROVE, n. j., July 81. 1903.
One of the most important events of the
summer season at Ocean Grove will be the
rendition tomorrow evening Of the oratorlo
of Elijah" For this famous production
of the masterpiece of Mendelssohn, the
regular Ocean Grove chorus will be mate
rally augmented by delegations comprising
members of the New York and Brooklyn
festival choruses and the choral union of
Elizabeth n. j. The total number of voices
which will appear at the oratorio is in the
neighborhood of 800 and the regular or
chestra will be increased to nearly 1OO in
struments.
The musical reception, which was given
on Monday evening in the Auditorium, was
distinctly a popular success. The pro-
gram rendered was entirely instrumental
in its nature and the walk and talk fea-
ture of the evenings entertainment was
greatly enjoyed by upward Of 1900 audi
tors.
Last Sunday should have been recognized,
according to the schedule of summer events
in the Grove. as Temperance Sunday, and
the sermons of DR.. Campbell were arranged
for by the National Temperance Society.
Neither of the sermons however, touched
upon the temperance question. but the Rev.
DIR. Dunn, secretary of the society, de-
livered a temperance address at the regular
Sunday afternoon beach meeting.

Grove summer. 1t will be called Chill

chorus, which numbers nearly thousand
voices and includes the famous boys rough
rider brigade. The evening service Is to
be entirely musical and Prof Tall Esen

When Lord Southdown died his surNiv-

typical tragedy of English life that springs
from the gcnteel habit OF entailing proper

The instant that the breath left his body,
he and his were Immediately stripped of
the title to the famous Southdown estates
In land For these vast estates had been
conferred by some ancestor upon Lord
Southdown and upon his heirs male.
Heirs male he lacked. and while his soul
was fluttering away. the title to the lands
lowered for an instant in the air and then
ewooped down upon a distant relative
the late incumbent.
Lord SOuthdown was not Chidless. for
he left behind him the Hon. Peggy South
down fair slender and some nineteen years
of age. And he left also his worthy sister,
the Hon. Carolina SOuthdown, a gentle
spinSter of resource ana tact. But when
this gentle SpinSter began to realize, as she
did soon after her brothers DEATH that her
brothers entire wealth was now the prop
erty of some one else. her tact and her
resoucc seemed incontincntly to abandon
her. However. she kcpts the news from her
fair and slender niece.

he has sold on account of his customer
The latter now awaits the expected fall in
prices. If that fails to come the speculator
might find himself caught in what is called
a 'corner'-that is to say. the broker who
has lent the stock demands its return, and
the broker for the short seller may be un-
able to borrow elsewhere. Then the short
seller will be forced to buy on an advanc-
ing market in order to his shorts
and he may find 1t difficult to get the Sc
curitieS for the required delivery, except at
prices which the owners of the stocks
shall fix
But if the hoped-for decline takes place
the customer orders his broker to buy in
order to realize his profits. The broker
does so and returns the borrowed stock
The transaction is then closed, except for
the payment to the customer of his profit
which is the difference between the price
at which he sold and the price at which he
bought. or, as the street phrase is, "cov-
cred"
Is It WrongP
Short selling has often been the subject
of severe condemnation, as being wrong
in principle and injurious in it's effect The
charge is that 1t Is essentially a depre-
citation of another mans property, that 1t
Is an assault upon values. But in answer
to this 1t is argued that if it Is right to
buy in order to sell at profit there is no
essential difference, ethically or otherwise.
in the reverse operation. The bear serves
to prevent prices from soaring too high.
and a too great expansion in prices may
be as demoralizing as too severe a depres-
sion. The bear certainly has a legitimate
place in the market, but too often short
selling gives rise to many evils A man
who sells short is under a severe tempta-
ton to accelerate the wished-for decline
in prices by the distribution of false state
ments injurious to particular properties or
the situation as whole.

Policemen Of the Seas.

Revenue cutters are the policemen
of the high seas. They have regular
beats to patrol alopg the coast, looking
for vessels in distress, suppressing
smuggling, Illicit seal hunting and
mutinies. They also enforce quarantine
regulations, examine ships papers,
supply lighthouses, and act as life saw
ers, ambulance corps, fire department
and messenger boys generally, for the
government, at sea. The first revenue
cutters were built at the order of Alex
ander Hamilton, when he was secretary
of the treasury, and, except in war
times, when they are subject to the au-
thority of the navy, they are still under
Treasury department orders. Strange
to say, however, it is in times of peace
that revenue cutters fight their hardest
battles. They say many lives, and
property that is estimated at many mil
lions yearly. Their name gives little
idea of the great and varied service
they render the country.-N. Y. Trib-

per- lie casual phrase has the pic
t~uresqueness and fine appropriateness
OF vision. The man or who has
a thoroughly il%l-natured spouse or is
thrown into constant and intimate in
tercouTse with a violent-tempered
companion, leads a dogs life-a yell
low dogs life. Other dogs may suffer
a martyrdom that is not without dig
nifty, but the yellow dog is despised as
well as prosecuted. His sufferings are
mitigated by no balm Of rolf-respect.
In putting up with injurious words and
deeds from those who are near and
more or less dear to him a man is
cutting a sorry figure in his own eyes
as well as in the eyes of others. There
must be another Tanning of the
Shrew' if he would rehabilitate him
self, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press.
The plain Old English phrase, "a bad
disposition" is the fttest to describe
a violent temper. There is a touch of
congenital badness about it, something
akin to intermittent alcoholism or pc
riodic vice, Even where it discharges
itself in printable and fairly decorous
language. it carries within it the ugly
meanings and associations of the bar
rOOms and the SteWs. 1t is not uncom-
mon, however, when the barriers of
restraint are broken down, for it to
have a frank %reCourSe to their forms
of expressing. So a man or woman
who has. as life mate or boon compan-
ion one who on minor provocation rips
out with injurious violence and derog-
atory epithets, is in somewhat the
same predicament as one who is yoked
with a fellow whose past is not with
out reprOach, who has to be ALLOWED
for with ones self and silently apollo
giZed for to others. 1t is a species of
degradation.
There are those who pride them
selves on the possession of what is
called "a fine old temper" They are
uncOmmOnly easily pleased. "Ill' ma
tured and bad temper-the words ex-
list as embodiments of the deliberate
experience of mankind. They stand
as opinions of something morbid and
something vile. The institution of the
duckihg stools for scolds, male and fe-
male, embOdies another hearty judy
ment. which was not abandoned when
society abdicated the task of evicting
the evil one by forcible immersion
and allowing the ducking stool to fall
into disuse. Its raison d'etre was the
belief that crossness was just a form
of perverse egOtism, a sort of childish
ness, Of immaturity and exaggerated
self-love, that could be cured by a
curse of sprouts. "a contentious

In a piece of white marble there is,
apparently, no latent color. But mar
BILE will not remain white. It usually
contains a trace OF iron which oXidizeS

russo tone. Moreover, the atmosphere
is constantly bringing its accretion of
dust, which is rich in colCr. Pentelic
