OCEAN GROVE
SEASON EARLY,

Ocean Grove, April 9.-The hum of
busy preparation for the summer sea-
son in the camp meeting city grows
louder and more continuous as the
Gays go by, and helps to insure the
boast that Ocean Grove will surpass
Itself next summer, not only in the
character of the religious services,
but also in the programme of audi
torium music which, if the promises
are carried out, will make the great
musical centres of the country blush
for shame.
Vice President A. E. Ballard, on
whose shoulders the weight of years
rests lightly, has completed the sum-
mer religious programme for 1903,
and the important paper is now in the
hands Of Director Tall Esen Morgan,
who is arranging the musical features.
While the contents of DR.. Billiards.
paper are kept secret, it has leaked
out that the evangelists this year will
be eliminated from the list of plat
form speakers during campmeeting
week. 1t is also an open secret that
Musical Director Morgan will present
a rich circlet of musical gems during
the religious season, including the
oratorios of "Elijah, the "Mes-
siah, the "Holy City, and probably
Rossini' S "Stabat Mater
The great Auditorium choir is al
ready in process of formation. It is
practically decided that the religious
season will open this year on the
twentieth Of June, a little earlier than
usual. The Auditorium orchestra
will arrive and organize on the
twenty fifth. and choir rehearsals will
| begin about the first of June
The association has recognized the
necessity of certain changes in the
| Auditorium, and Major Patterson is
now busy with a force of carpenters
enlarging some of the rear exits. The
front gallery exits have also been en-
larged. The approaches to the Audi
torium and the area round about will
appearance. The Ocean Grove end of
Che Heck street bridge across Wesley
Lake will be raised to the level of
Pilgrim pathway. The pathway will
be paved with asphalt, thus making
one continuous and unbroken passage.
way similar in detail to Ocean path
way, which is the pride of the camp
meeting city The new Pilgrim path
way will be brilliantly illuminated at
night, and the effect will be some
thing like the Examinations on the
lake at carnival time. At the end OF
the bridge there will be an arched
electric sign from which will blaze in
letters of fire the word Auditorium. -
The campmeeting officials further
contemplate the spreading of awnings
around the interior of the Audi
torium. Mating will also be placed
on the walks to deaden the tramp OF
the thousands who wander around the
great edifice during the services.
There will be few changes in the
working personnel of the temples.
Rev. @. II. Yatman. will, as usual,
have charge of the Young People s
Temple, and will .inaugurate these
popular morning services fully week
earlier than last year. The Holiness
and Tabernacle workers have already
been engaged, and the same familiar
faces will be seen at these meetings.
Most of the cottages in the Grove
have been rented, and there are signs
of life in the tenting district.

Marked advancement and progress
is being made by the bevy of young
ladies who will be bridesmaids in the
opera Princess Bonnie" soon to be

is quite certain that the production
will be highly successful.

SMOKE INSPECTORS WOES.

Fair St. Louisans Now Adds Poetry
 to His TFOubles.
 Many and various are the complaints which come to the office Of Smoke r. Jones in regard to the abatement of the smoke nuisance, says the St. Louis Republic.
 One of the letters charges the in. specter with being an obstructionist and tells him that if he could have his way every body would be burning wood and St. Louis would be signal sta ton only for river traffic. Another writer vents his wrath by stating that his plant is situated so near the city limits that the only persons the smoke could possibly anndy are these buried in some nearby cemeteries.
 What Inspector Jones considers gem was received the other day. It Is sspoetry," written on tinted paper in delicately feminine hand. Tn the up- per right hand corner on the back of the sheet is the address of West Pine boulevard residence, near Kings highway. The verses are as follows:
 Oh, Mr. Jones, we pray of you
 Please stop that smoke, oh, do. oh, do!
 Our walls and curtains all are black
 From that horrid Monticello stack.
 We've called you up on the telephone, : And always in your sweetest tone
 You said, wen fix it up at once!' . The summer time has come and gone.
 Yet volumes greet us night and morn.
 Please give us the relief we ask;
 It really isn't such a task
 To please the folks across the way
 From the Monticello hostel-r-a-y.

sweet Cider Dreams.

The dapper waiter fingers;
 What shall drink tonight? turn, with listless fingers,
 The wine list to the light, And while scan it, thinking
 That wine has lost it's charm, I dream once more of drinking Sweet cider at the farm. From granddad's ancient settle, Before the cracking blaze, watch the singing kettle;
 A merry tune 1t plays There, when the corn was snapping, And apples sizzed and steamed. With granddad slyly mapping, My sweetest dreams were dreamed. The winter wind, snow laden,
 Coaxed up the roaring flames, And there 8 rosy maiden
 Sat by and played me games; There love, who heard the clinking Of glasses, came and saw Two happy lovers drinking
 Sweet cider through straw Snug sheltered from the weather. At BoreaS we laughed And quenched our thirst together Tn that cool amber draft. That drink of granddad's making, Pressed in the mill hard by, Set no light head to aching,
 Turned no bright speech awry. Stilled are the clinking glasses: Long vanished is your smile, Oh, rosiest of lasses!
 But still I dream, and while My gray rnustache I'm dipping In wine without flaw I see your red lips slipping
 Sweet cider through a straw. Frank Roe Bachelder in Lippincott's s For November

which Long Hair had flung at Hamn. Ion and examined 1t with odious curi- osity. He had fingered on the spot with no other purpose than to get pos session of that ghastly relic. Since los ing his own scalp the subject of crown locks had grown upon his mind until its fascination was irresistible. He studied the hair of every person he saw as a physiognomist studies faces.

 Colonel Clark, with his hands crossed behind him, his face thoughtfully con- tracted, was walking slowly to and fro q little way off. He turned about when Oncle Jazon spoke.

 Oncle Jazon's feelings were visible and audible, but Clark could not resent the contempt of the old mans looks and words. He felt that he deserved far more than he was receiving. Nor was Oncle Jazon wrong. Rene de Ronville never came back to little Adri- enne Bourcier, although, being kept entirely ignorant of her lover's fate, she waited and dreamed and hoped throughout more than two years, after which there is no further record of her life
 Clark. Beverley and oncle Jazon con- suited together and agreed among themselves that they would hold pro- foundIy secret the story of the scalp. To have made it public would have ex- asperated the creoles and set them vio- lently against Clark, thing heavy with disaster for all his future plans. As it was, the release of Long Hair caused a great deal of dissatisfaction and muti- nous talk. Even Beverley now felt that the execution ordered by the com mander ought to have been sternly car ried out

Church That Likes RaStime Music.
 Ragtime is now played in the Forty eighth Street Baptist church in Chica- go. You can also play chess, checkers or dominos in the church at any hour of the. day and at almost any hour of the night. The pastors parlor and dining room are as open as the church, and each evening the young people gather there at a piano and play and sing "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?' My Kongo Lady" and other ragtime songs. The pastor, Homer M Cook, likes the music of the piano, and he encourages the young people to use it. He lives in the church with his wife.

Jazon when Beverley dropped into his hut one evening to have a smoke with him.
 The rain was over, the sky shone like one vast luminary, with a nearly full moon and a thousand stars re-enforcing it. Up from the south poured one of those balmy, accidental wind floods sometimes due in February on the Wa bash, full of tropical dream hints, yet edged with @ winter chill that smacks of treachery. Oncle Jazon was unusu- ally talkative. He may have had q deep draft of liquor; at all events Bev- erley had little room for a word.

DAVID GARRlCK.

The Great Actors Art and His W1fs's
Ruined Feelings.
Mrs. Garrick's admiration Of her hus-
bands dramatic talents was intense,
and on his great nights she would hang
over her box, next the stage, in rap
turous delight. The one flaw In her
idol, she claimed, was taste for low
life, for which she blamed him greatly,
insisting that he loved better to play
Scrub to low lived audience than one
Of his superior characters before an
audience of taste.
On one particular occasion she was
in her box in the theater when Gar
rick's impersonation Of Richard Ill.
was applauded to the echo. In that
day a farce followed the tragedy Of the
evening, and as Mrs. Garrick rose to
leave before it her husband came to
the box to say he had some business In
the greenroom which would detain him,
so most unwillingly the lady was
obliged to acquiesce and remain
through the closing entertainment.
This proved to be a comical series OF
blundering adventures which had be-
fallen a countryman who had left his
farm to see London and on bis return
gave his neighbors an account of the
wonders he had met.
This characterization was received
with such peals Of applause that Mrs.
Garrick, ever jealous Of her husbands
fame, began to think it rivaled those
lately lavished on Richard III. Her
feelings were nearly worked up to fe-
yer heat when she was attracted by
the frantic efforts Of her little spaniel
dog to overleap the balcony that sepa-
rated him from the stage, when she
Immediately became aware Of the truth
that the actor was Garrick and ex-
claimed, "Strange that dog should
know his master when the woman who
loved him best in the world could not
pierce his Disguise"

The July Delineator shows considerable
change in makeup from preceding issues;
the literary matter has been brought to
the front of the book, then follow the
fashions, and lastly departmental matter.
The number is in many respects superior
to any previous one The display Of the
fashions is charming and up to date, and
the literary contents are of striking inter
est. Christine Terhune Herrick writes
entertainingly of Marion Harland's
souvenir garden at Sunnybank, her coun
try place in New Jersey, and n. Hudson
Moore contributes to the number finely
illustrated paper on roses. Bird Babies
and their cradles, by Landon knight, is a
very attractive article, illustrated with
photographs. In the seventh "Miladi'
paper Miss Clara E. Laughlin discusses
woman's duties towards her neighbors.
In fiction, there is a short story called
Paper Dolls and Paper Dollars, written
Dy Joseph Blethen and illustrated by A.
I. Keller; and the third installment of
The Bois- -Brutes, Mrs. Catherwood's serial.
A page of exclusive photographs OF Viola
Allen is feature. In the series on his
toric and modern homes, Van Cortlandt
manor house is described and illustrated,
with views of both interior and exterior.
For the children, Lima Beard begins a
series describing the construction in
miniature of the 'Seven Wonders of the
World" The number also includes the
introduction to series of tales for chill
dren called Firelight Stories by Livings-
ton B. Morse. The sixth lesson in plain
sewing is given, and the departments are
as helpful and varied in interest as usual.
