the banner of the lodge. At nine

about eighty seated at the tables. The
menu was as follows:
Fried Oysters
Olives Potato Salad

IL. Lautenbacker, Elmer S. Roberts,
Thomas B. Myers, w. G. George, +. d.
Shawn, G. r. Andrews and Charles S
French. That the party had a good
time is putting it mildly. They mean
dered on the boardwalk and explored
the whole island. These are some of
the puns manufactured for the benefit
of various members of the club:
The tried and true Methodists Gal
loway and Roberts.
The faithful Presbyterians who dis
appeared, went to church and forgot
the text, or fell asleep. Which is it P
Whitehouse, Quinn, Andrews.
lhS OtucI uiculDtTS nave never Deen
to church, so the people of Wildwood
thought.
Well, well, Andrews smoking &c
cigars. Now, pretty tough on you.
We had u little baby along who re-
ceived a scare from a burglar in the
hall.-Wenzing.
We all felt sorry for Roberts pocket
book, not for the chair.

Angora with Jeanette, " by H. Guckes.

Where did you borrow the safety

A DiligeRf ~Assemblyman

We were pleased to notice that one
of our valued exchanges-The Even
ing Journal of Jersey City-on Mon
day, in a general review of the labors
of the members of the Legislature,
made particular mention of a few of
the members of the House, who were
able and diligent representatives, and
had established for themselves a meri-
torious record. And in speaking o:
AssembIyman Hildreth, it says, that
such men as he should be retained in
the Assembly as long as they are will
ing to serye.o This is certainly a very
complimentary reference to our towns
man, from the view point of a demo-
cratic editor, and only assures us that
his reputation, as a vigilant and
faithful legislator, is fully deserved

A Strawberry Festival

On Wednesday afternoon last Mrs.
j.. X. Tresher entertained the Ladies'
Aid of the Baptist church, at her
home on Oak avenue, and the after
noon was very pleasantly and socially
spent. The ladies transacted some
business of a character that will prove
a financial benefit to the church. for
they decided to give a strawberry fes-
tival and food sale at the Wild wood
Casino on the 22d inst, instead of a
flower social, as has been previously
announced. The giving of the festival
and food sale at such a time will afford
a place for the purchase ofsweet home
made delicacies and eatables for the
Easter holidays, and no doubt the
summer cottagers visiting the resort
at that time, as well as residents of
the island, will grasp this opportunity
and %patronize it literally.

Flag Raising

The flag raising held at the Wild
wood public school last Friday after
noon under the auspices of Beach
Council, was a grand success and we'll
attended. j. Thompson Baker made
the speech of welcome and said that
he was glad that there was such a
thing as a lodge of Jr. o. U. A. NJ. in
Wildwood. Councillor E. Yenney
presented the flag which was received
by Evans G. Slaughter, of the Board
of Education. The Star Spangled
Banner was sung as old glory was un-
furled to the breeze by the school chill
dren. The five hundred little flags
which were in the big one were eager
ly sought as souvenirs of the occasion.

SULTAN MAY HAVE TO
FIGHT ALL EUROPE
Turks Said to be United in
Opposition to Demands
of Powers

Constantinople Nov. 22.-No answer
has been received to the demands OF the
Powers. and although the diplomatists
still believe that the Sultan will give way
at the last moment the signs are all the
other way.
There can be no doubt regarding the
resentment the Turks feel at the attitude
Of the European Cabinets. Even among
the people most sincerely desirous of re-
forms the hope is expressed that the Sui
tan will resist to the bitter end
The Turks are especially bitter at the
sight OF Russia, herself in the throes OF
a revolution produced by centuries Of OPP
preston, taking a leading part In forcing
reforms ON Turkey. 1t is sarcastically
suggested that the Powers would have
been much better employed had they sent
fleets TO Odessa to stop the massacre Of
Jews sastead of planning a naval demon
stration i'm Turkish waters
Il is obvious that the Sultan would be
enthusiastically supported by his peop.e
were he to defy Europe and take the con-
sequences The popular feeling he might
easily disregard, but he is not likely TO
be Indifferent 10 the consideration that
sooner or later he viii have 10 night TO
keep Macedonia and that such a good
opportunity as the present, with Rus
sis powerloss and Austria weakened, is
not likely TO recur.
In spite of the care taken by the Ger
man Government to explain that its fail
ure TO take part in the demonstration
is not due 10 any disagreement with the
rest Of the concert, the Sultan will very
probably prefer to draw his own deduc-
tions

TALES OF HORROR ON
BAY OYSTER BOATS
Detectives Have Letters
From "Shanghaied" Man
Pointing to Murder

Philadelphia. Nov. 22-Tales OF
murder and awful brutalities are told
by the survivors Of band of Phila-
delphians who were shanghaied and
held prisoners on a Baltimore oyster
boat.
It is also charged that there are
.agents in this city in league with the
.oyster men who arrange for the ship
ping OF men into what amounts TO
slavery. Evidence in the form of a
pathetic letter from one of the prisoners
was yesterday placed in the hands Of
Captain Donaghy by Thomas Cava-
naugh. of III Lombard street. An in
vestigation by the Philadelphia and
Baltimore police promises to lead to
startling 2 discoveries.
james McCabe, OF No. 10lS Moyamen-
sing avenue whose body was found on
Deals Island, is believed TO have been
murdered, and William Clark, another
of the party, it is now stated, jumped
overheard and committed suicide to
escape further tortures on the oyster
boat.
Confirmation Of these facts and tales
of the outrageous treatment to which
the men were subjected were brought
to this city yesterday by George Dolan.
of Second and South streets. Dolan ar
rived ragged and famished. After a
thrilling escape from the oyster boat
he had TO walk from Baltimore TO
Wilmington.

ARMOUR FACES BIG LOSS
Bull Operations Cost Grain Spectator
Halt a Million Dollars.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-The bears in the
corn and wheat pits of the local Board
of Trade have j. Ogden Armour, the
big bull grain speculator, on the run.
The action against the wealthy packer,
which forced him to unload millions Of
bushels Of his long holdings in wheat
and corn, win cost loss of over $780,
600, of which he expected reap in pro-
fits.
Misinformation as to the total yield
of corn, based on reports furnished by
his hog buyers in the corn belt, is the
rock on which the packer ran. Ar
mour loses 2 1-2 cents every time he
sells a bushel Of corn and the total loss
will approximate s625,000.

a Niaht shift Bee.

The old joke about the man who
crossed his bees with lightning bugs,
that they might see to work at
night, appears to have been realized
IN India, who're an unusually large
species gather honey only in the
nighttime.
There are many night blooming
flowers in that country, and this
bee apparently finds no difficulty in
gathering his store, for it is record
ed that the combs frequently reach
height of six feet.
1t is not stated that the honey is
of food value, and its use for human
consumption is to be questioned,
since many Of the night towering
plants possess strongly narcotic
properties.

WOULD CHEAPEN CANAL
Major Gillette Has Plans That Would
Cost Only s111,ooo,ooo.

Philadelphia, Nov. 22,-That safe,
complete. practicable and serviceable
waterway across the Isthmus Of Panama
can be constructed in five years and at a
cost not to exceed Sn1,OOo.OOO is the conten
tion of Major Casslus E. Gillette. en-
gineer corps, U. S. A., temporarily de-
tached and serving in Philadelphia as
chief of the Filtration Bureau.
Major Gillette's plans have been evolved
after personal study Of the isthmus
which he visited as one of the engineers
attached 10 the first Isthmian Canal
Commission. named by the President un-
der the authority of the Spooner act. I'm
der his plan the canal might be con-
structed out of the Sl45,OOO,OoO now avail
able. leaving a balance Of S3t0oO,0oO for
contingent expenses, such as interest,
sanitation, water supply for Colon and
Panama. sewage system for both cities
and the expenses of canal zone govern
ment.
Major Gillette's plan is, instead Of dig
ging a canal to build a gigantic dirt dam
at Gatun. and flood the country from
that point 10 Pedro Miguel, about thirty
miles, making deep, freely navigable
lake about 100 square miles in area. The
dam, with four or i've miles OF under
water dredging on the north and about
nine miles Of similar excavation on the
south would complete the canal A night
of three locks at either end Of the lake,
each lock TO have a lit OF 30 l-S feet
would carry ships from sea level to the
surface OF the lake. A depth OF forty
five feet is contemplated throughout the
canal on the estimates Major Gillette has
prepared.
