Resort Last Sunday and
Many Enjoy the Fishing
OTHER SPICY ANGLESEA NEWS-NOTES

The latter part of last week appeared
like a grand struggle between old
summer and young autumn, as if the
former was determined to continue his
reign indefinitely and for several days
1t seemed as If he would come out vic
torious but on Monday morning he
had given up the contest and the
thermometer instead of climbing up to
the SOS came quietly down TO the COS.
Saturday nights gentle rain after mid
night made things more comfortable
on Sunday and as proper attention is
given the streets in Anglesea by scrap
ing the roads which had becomedusty,
at once became properly packed and
were in fine condition for residents and
visitors. And a goodly number came
on the Saturday afternoon trains and a
number equalling that of the previous
Sunday came down on the excursion
trains and as the wind was favorable
as many as the boats could take went
out to the deep sea fishing. The Ad-
elene, Polly Page, Martindale, Israella,
Lizzie A, Leslie, Lille, Edith, Theo.
Lore and the Guyasuta had their full
complement of passengers aud the
usual number ofspectators were present
at the boatlanding lier to see them
start and in the afternoon return in the
yachts and steamers With their results.
Aud now a general word of warning.
Medical science is all very we'll and
proper, but a little moiicum ofcommon
n combined with it is much better.
There have been quite a number of
cases of typhoid fever on some parts OF
the island. Some doctors insist that it
is caused hy what we eat aud drink.
May be SO but do not stop there. In
Philadelphia they have filtered water,
but the Board Of Health overlooks
what not only may he but Is one of the
causes and that is the. neglecting of the
sewers. Go into the fine houses where
they have fine porcelain washbasins and
bath tubs aud you will scent a gaseous,
disagreeable smell. something like
indian turnip, hat gets into the houses.
There are the germs of disease, but no,
they will talk of water and stomachs
instead of enforcing the fulfilment of
contracts of cleaning and flushing the
sewers. Why the authorities neglect
this %deponent sayeth not. So on u
island, there are the slaShes on tig
stretches of property owned by a few
improvement obstructing people who
never think of the health o fothers who
let their grounds be unattended year
in and year out, stagnant water and
scum thereon accumulating continually
communicating the air and carrying
germs of disease especially to those
who must work nearby. And then
too zone hates to handle such d repul-
sive subject) the dumpings of cesspool
contents in the open instead of deeply
burying them is another cause. Why
don't the authorities enforce the laws
already passed. Echo again answers
why? Great bodies move slowly is an
old saying, a newer saying would be so
do small bodies as evidenced to the atten-
ton paid to the suggestion of having
our nicely laid cement pavements and
curbs protected from the overgrowth
of weeds.
A new cottage is being built on I'd
avenue between Pennsylvania avenue
and Central, opposite Geo. Frith's
cottages.
The Five Mile Beach Social Club
was organized at Anglesea last Thurs
day evening with fifty memters. The
following officers were elected; Presi-

treasurer, Edward Tice. A club house
has been rented in which to hold
meetings. If is expected that the
membership will soon be increased to
100.
Our former Life Saving Station Cap
tain Chris. Ludlam visited this place
during the week, stopping at his friend s
Postmaster Jason Bucks place. He is
residing at Ocean City, Md, and is
looking right hearty and strong and as
young as he did ten years ago.
The cottage on Third avenue o cupi-
ed by the Srhwarz waelder family has
received u %renovating coat of paint and
looks quite new again.
Good work is being done on Chestnut
avenue near the grabbing and boat
landing pier in filling up the lots and
dredging the channel at Beach Creek.
There is a vast acreage that a and

Grassy Sound, making this region valu-
