VIRGINIA BEACH. Va. April I. 1904.
Easter was celebrated by special services
at the Episcopal Chapel. Although the day
opened with a chilly north wind the accom-
modations were hardly sufficient to seat the
large number of people that attended and
both morning and afternoon the boardwalk
was well filled with promenaders and the
consequent display of spring fashions and
millinery
The beginning Of rapid and extensive i'm
provements is a noticeable mark of the
opening of spring at the beach, and many
traces of the havoc created by last October S
storm are being eliminated. The recon-
struction of the pilng along the bulkhead
that protected the property between the
Gulf Stream Hotel and the Mt Vernon is a
matter of several weeks work. but il is eX-
pected to be completed by the time the
regular season opens, and the stretch of
boardwalk will again be continuous.
All conditions have been favorable for golf
during the past week, and the result has
been an uninterrupted stream of players

Made a Fortune Begging.

A dispatch from New York says: When
Mrs. Ketel Fenberg died suddenly at her
daughters house a month ago, none of her
children dreamed that she had left them q
small fortune. She was seyenty-fve years
old and for twenty years had lived with
her two sons and a daughter, and every
one supposed she was penniless.
When she had been buried S107 In green
backs was found sewed into one of her
dresses, and further search has discovered
s. 500 in cash deposited in a savings bank
and several hundred dollars worth of jew
elry and valuable clothing hidden else
where
Her relatives have also learned that fos
nearly twenty years she had been an In
dustrious beggar, but that she worked 80
what she was doing. A. S. Jaffer, the att
torney for the heirs said yesterday that it
was now practically certain that other
large sums of money will be found depos-
tied to her credit in other banks.
The search was continued, and the next
treasure found was 500 worth of diamonds
which she had pawned for 81 for safekeep-
ing After that a large trunk was founA
in a storage house filed with the most ex-
pensiye silks and linen, with Instructions

She rarely asked any of her friends or

excursions into distant parts of the city
and often called at fifty houses in one day.
She did little begging on the street, SO far
as can be discovered. but made her appeal

Building Strike in New York Ends,

A dlSpatch from New York says:
After refusing twice to obey the orders
of their own accredited representatives to
return to work pending arbitration of all
disputes, the bricklayers and laborers ca
pitulated yesterday and declared the build
ing strike off pending the arbitration of all
disputes. The strikers will report for work
today on all the contracts of the members
Of the Mason Builders Association.
Before this action was taken several con-
ferences were neld.
Pending the arbitration, no overtime work
is to be done, or work done on Saturday
afternoons.
The representatives of the bricklayers on
the joint arbitration board of the Mason
Builders Association and The bricklayers'
unions promised to do their best to get the
strikers to accept these terms.
Delegate Milligan of local union No. 81
of the bricklayers, member of the bor-
ough board, said yesterday that on May /
the local unions of bricklayers would abide

GREATEST EVER KNOWN.
The Boardwalk Was Not Wide Enough
for the Crowd.
Special CORRESPONDENCE of The Evening Sta

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ATLANTIC CITY, April 8, 1904.
The immense crowd that packed the
boardwalk on Easter Sunday to the point
of keen discomfort emphasized the predic-
ton made a year ago-that the great es-
planade must be extended at once to at
least one hundred feet in width. When the
new boardwalk was built, not many years
ago. it was thought that its width of from
forty to sixty feet would be ample for the
accommodation of strollers for generation
at least, but this calculation has already
called for amendment. While it is true
that the crowds of last Sunday were the
greatest ever known on that event in At
lantic City. they were not in excess of
those that throng the walk daily during the
month of August. Every beach front hotel
turned people away by the scores and the
hundreds and the overflow was sufficient to
fiji the smaller hotels that had opened for
the occasion. The weather was fair, but
cold and the sartorial display was disap-
pointing on that account. But the crowd
enjoyed itself and that is all it came for.
While of course, tens of thousands left the
city early in the week, there have been
more people here all week than ever be-
fore known in the resort after the Easter
rush.
The Pennsylvania railroad has built a
siding in the heart of the cottage district
of Chelsea for the use of private cars that
frequently bring parties here for ex-
tended stay. Heretofore the travellers
have been compelled to leave their car and
patronize a hotel owing to the fact that
! the palaces on wheels were sidetracked in
| the freight yards.
| Senator Matthew Stanley Quay of Penn
| sylvania has leased the Lippincott villa
and has taken up his residence there for
| the spring and summer His health is
| poor but he is on the boardwalk daily in a
| rolling chair
| The New York politicians have followed
| the example of their Pennsylvania con-
| freres and have adopted Atlantic City as
| their resort for conferences and pleasure.
J Those in the city during the week included
| Charles f. Murphy, leader of Tammany
| hall, who is at the Brighton; Controller Ed
| ward A Grout, who is at the Traymore; ;
! former Mayor Van Wyck. former Senator
| Fox Aqueduct Commissioner Harry w.
| Walker who are at the Dunlop and at the
| Rudolf are Fire Commissioner Nicholas
| Hayes, former Sheriff Dunn of Kings and
| County Clerk Edward Kaufman of Kings.
/ Jefferson Hayes Davis and w. Davis
! Hayes, nephews of Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
/ came from Princeton College to spend Eas-
| ter with their aunt at the Marlborough
| House. The first personally conducted tour
| lists of the season arrived on Wednesday
] from Boston. There were fifty in the
! party and all stopped at the Hotel Witt
shire.

can possibly be utilized.


can possibly be utilized.
Asparagus Platters-Among the vege-
tables asparagus rides the top wave of
popular favor, If the variety of dishes de-
signed for its special service be any
criterion. In china there are any num-
Der of imported trays in all sorts of
ware and varieties of decoration, and all
have the rack and sauce boat in combina-
ton with the tray.
Fish and Steak Planks.-In the house
furnishing departments there is new
departure, steak planks now appearing
to supplement the popular fish planks.
These are all made of hard wood The
fish planks come in squares and rect
angles of various sizes, but the steak
p1anks are oval and just large enough to
accommodate good-siZed porterhouse.
The steak is placed on the plank and set
In piping hot oven to cook. AS soon as
done the steak is served on the plank
on which 1T is cooked. These planks are
never washed, but should be rubbed off
with dry cloth, then covered and set
away.
Orange Straws.-These are extremely
popular served with Russian tea or as a
garnish for game. Make a rich syrup,
cup of water. Have ready dried orange
or lemon rinds cut into straws or any
fancy shape desired and throw into the
boiling syrup. Cook until clear, remove,
va ~ SOeti sc 3 sugar, put oA
sheets of brown paper to dry. then set
away in cool place to crisp.
Lemon Fanchonettes.-Line patty pans
with puff paste, rolled very thin, fill with
lemon prepared in the same way as for
the pie. Cover with thin crust and bake
quickly to delicate brown.
Lemon Butter.-Grate the rind from
three lemons and squeeze out the juice
Add three well-beaten eggs, pound of
sugar, level tablespoonful of butter and
scant cup of water. Mix well, boil six
or seven minutes until thick and put in
small glasses for emergency use in tarts,
cake filling or sandwiches.

Fruit Frappe with Nuts.-Almost every
woman nowadays has her own special
frappe combination with which she de-
lights to mystify her guests. One that
scored immediate success the other night
was made>in this way: Into the bottom
of the frappe glass went generous
spoonful of preserved strawberries; on
top of the berries came the ice cream
vanilla in this case-then a spoonful of
whipped cream, and on top of the cream
a grating of English walnuts. All sorts
of fruit combinations are used as founda-
ton for the frappes. and the covering
for the whipped cream is variously cocoa,
grated macaroons, chopped nuts, sprin-
kle of cinnamon or eandied rose leaves.
Pretty little frappe glasses in the Ameri-
can pressed ware. light and dainty, can
now be purchased as low as so cents a

pretty china plate with a little DOYLE
between the glass and the plate. A spoon,
of course. goes with it,

who likes to see pretty new things, even
If she can't always buy them, the china
shops have much to offer. From Germany
there has come all sorts of odd dishes to
be used in the service of lobster The
ware is a delicate green, and on every
piece of ii sprawls scarlet lobster.
There are sets of plates large and small,
