BIG CROWDS AT SHORE,

 SAVIN ROCK YESTERDAY.

An "IdeaI Day" for Outing-AII Open
 Trolley Cars Crowded and All the
 Closed Ones Brought Into Use to Ac-
 cOmmOdatc the PubIic--CIosing Day
 nt savin Rocl--Senson Finished nt White City--Big Excursion from New
 York and Many Out-Of-Toyn Visitors. |" as1,sag Se1sstdaE eE-F 1a
 Although yesterday was the closing day of the season at savin Rock the att tendance was the largest, according to those best qualified to know, of the sea- son. This was undoubtedly on account of the splendid weather, the day being one of the finest this year. From early in the afternoon until after g o'clock last night an almost endless chain of crowded trolley cars carried thousands to this popular shore resort. Not only were all the extra ears belonging to the road run to the shore, but 'all the closed cars were also put into use, and yet each and every enc was crowded with people. During all the afternoon and early evening practically a half a minute schedule was in force from the corner of Church and Chapel streets to savin Rock. It is estimated that considerable over 200O0 people were at this resort during the%afternoon and evening.
 The White City did a big business on this, it's closing day, and it was most fitting conclusion to most successful season, during which time many appre- ciable improvements have been made. The park was crowded with people listening to both the afternoon and i evening concerts. Many people also went in bathing during the day. 's The town yesterday was also crowded with visitors from out of town brought here by the steam road, the trolley roads, in boats, automobiles, bicycles, and carriages. A New York boat ex- cursion with about 2,00O on board reached the city early in the after noon and gave the excursionists time enough to view the points of interest. The trip here was reported as being most pleasant one, with no accidents | to mar the pleasure of the occasion. ! Owing to the fact that this city is | now the center of Q network of trolley lines leading here from other cities and towns cars from all directions brought crowds here during the day ! who either spent the time in going about the streets or going to some of | the nearby shore resorts.
 Besides the big crowds at Savin Rock the other shore resorts near here were well patronized.
 Although yesterday is supposed to mark the closing of the shore season in this vicinity, if such beautiful weather continues the crowds. will likely keep going" the only drawback to this will be the opening of the public schools to- day, which will have a tendency to keep many at home.

PHILADELPEIA-A BIG VILLAGE

PH1LADELPHIA-A BIG VILLAGE,
 There is only one modern flathouse in Philadelphia, perhaps half dozen modern hotels, and no tenements such as all other cities have by the acre. There is no large proletariat in the city, and such as exists is due to the influx of derelicts from abroad. As a. rule, the Philadelphian is well en- ployed the year around. There are about 100000 residences in the city more than in New-York City and Lon don combined-and most of them are owned by the people who live in them. Almost 100000 of them are two story houses, with six or seven rooms and a bath generally sizable back yard, and in the newer portions little front yard and a porch. Mechanics buy these houses through the buildings as- sociations and mortgages from the trust companies Such houses cost from $2,O0O to $40oO apiece-the latter would seem like mansions to many New Workers. They rent at from $12 to .$25 a month, with an average of eN1ONN Pio' illIOS WilO dIG dWdEG Ol what rents are in other cities can see that in this respect the Philadelphian is much better off than most of his neighbors.
 This insularity, due to the original village system, is enhanged by the home feeling. PMladelphians, as a rule are sober and hard working men with families. When a man comes home from work it is not necessary to fly to the nearest saloon to get comfortable place to sit He has his little parlor, his back yard or his front step. There are hundreds of miles of streets to be seen on any summer night in Philadel- phia where the father and mother sit on the porch or steps and anioy the sports of the children in the streets. The man does not care for the street corner. The home spirit seems to be dominant. If he were not comfortable at home he would go where he could enjoy himself, and many of them do. But it ought to be plain that people who stick so closely to the hearthstone are more conservative than those who flock out of human beehives to the streets as soon as they have their meals. The Philadelphian is called slow because he is not prone to run off after some new idea He is like the farmer in the recesses of his homestead who ponders before he acts. Because the home is so largely developed, and because the city is composed almost ex- clusively of native Americans and Germans the women have a much wider influence in Philadelphia than anywhere else in America and they ex- sycise its-Review of Reviews,
