Special Correspsndence OF The Evening Star
ATLANTIC CITY, December q 1904.
Although the holiday season Is fast APP
preaching there seems to be, judging from
the statements ISSUED at the beach front
hotels, every assurance that, with the con-
tinuance of the warm weather that had
marked the midwinter season, this resort
will experience unusual prosperity from
so5ouruers. The engagements at the big
hotels over the holidays guarantee that
the preceding weeks of Christmas time will
be most merry, and that there will be
many events Of exceptional social interest
this month
AS a prelude and in keeping with the
social activity the Hotel Rudolf was the
scene OF three brilliant social functions the
past week.
After years Of discussion and endless
preparation and litigation to say nothing
Of conferences galore. the city council
paving OF Atlantic avenue. 1t went to
Mayor Stoy for his consideration. The
mayor is authority On things constitutional.
and 1t did not take him long to discern
features in the bill that would not stand
the test in even a magistrates court, so he
promptly vetoed the ordinance, and now 1t
is once more before the city council for
proper amendment. 1t is fact to be re-
GREETED. but nevertheless true, that when it
comes to passing important legislation the
city fathers" fail to enact an ordinance
that would stand the test in court as to its
constitutionality. Every important piece OF

eventually held the august sponsors of the
same up to ridicule.

tain prominent real estate agents in this
city and New York capitalists and amuse-
ment promoters for the purchase of large
tract of beach front property in the
southern section of the city, the object

same lines marked this attraction last
summer at Coney Island At present the
price of the same has been fixed at nearly
100000. which. the contemplated buyers
state, Is too much, considering that they
will be under great expense in fitting out
the new attraction, SO the matter is pend
ing further conferences between the inter
ested parties.
Atlantic City can boast of a novelty in its
hospital, and now bruises are treated,
decorations sewed up and amputations and
operations performed to the sweet strains
of music. 1t was donation day" this week
at this institution, and Governor Charles
Evans, president of one of the local banks,
presented the hospital with a brand new
piano No sooner had the instrument been
installed in the institution than 1t was
found that it would be easy work to or
ganfze a small orchestra. Several Of the
attendants acknowledged that they could
play other instruments, and when the first
rehearsal was held this week the patients
in the various wards were charmed Win
the melody that foated through the place.
The odor of antiseptics and all kinds OF
drugs. the pain of previous injury and the
confinement of the hospital were all for
gotten. AS a medium for bringing good
and sure results and quick cures the stan
and the hospital will back their orchestra
for any amount, and have placed 1t on a
| par with medical skill and other embeilish-
ments of the medical profession.
