THE FIRST LETTER RECEIVED
Editor "JoURNALo
Wildwood, N. j.
Dear Sir: We are frequently asked
whether we would be favorable TO the
consolidation of the island this year.
Five Mile Beach is enjoying such
phenomenal prosperity under the pres
ent system of separate boroughs which
seems TO promote most wholesome
competition, that we believe it is al
present to the best interest OF the peo
pie not to change the form of govern
ment.

A Kitchen Pincushion.

A tea strainer formed the foundation
for it-just one of the plain, ordinary
ones of finely woven wires, but polish
ed and shining as though made of some
much finer metal. 1t was lined with
the softest of silk and stuffed with a
tiny bag of bran, which, in its turn,
was neatly tucked away under cover
let of silk. A bit of ribbon made a
small bow on the handle, and at the
same time furnished a loop to hang it
up by. Then the wire part was thickly
seeded with pins and the novel cushion
put in place.

MANAGING THE BOY.
Give Him Fair Chance to Develop
His Personality.


Give Him a Fair Chance to Develop
His Personality.
A boy early develops a personality
of his own, which, if properly encour-
aged and trained, proves of inestima-
BILE value to him throughout life. If
that is crushed by harsh treatment and
overbearing discipline the boys spirit
is broken SO that he usually proves a
failure. If improperly developed it
gives to the boy an overbearlng, pomp-
Gus spirit, which makes him disliked
by all.
The successful development of the
boys personality depends largely upon
the home treatment he receives. 1t Is
something that must be cultivated and
encouraged, and yet, paradoxical as 1t
may seem, 1t must be constantly check
ed and curbed, or, rather, 1t must be
directed.
mother as the most important
home factor In the situation, must rec
ognize the boys rights as well as her
own. The two should never conflict
and overlap. A boy soon grows con-
scious of his natural Inheritance Of GER
tain rights which other boys possess,
and If these are constantly curtailed
and disregarded he Is apt to grow
stubborn, deceitful and secretlve. To
ward mother in particular he shows
this disposition. He may not break
out in open rebellion toward her be-
cause of certain chivalrous tendencies,
but he will secretly decide that he
knows best.-Mother's Magazine.

elsie of Bong Bong"

The offering ut the Colonial Theatre
for matinee and night ON Saturday
will be b. G. Whitney's sparkling mu-
sical surprise, The Isle OF Bong
Bong" In 1.-THE Isle of Bong Bong,
title which at first sight might In
dicate nothing new or startling To
the theatregoer, the theme, as we'll as
the plot and dialoguge, is strikingly
original. The plot deals with Ger
man baron, rightful heir To the float
ing island Of Bong Bong, of which
he has been defrauded by the native
Sultan. In order TO find the deed the
nobleman decides to masquerade as
his own servant. Meanwhile he sue
ceeds in leading the natives To believe
that the servant is the real baron,
thereby missing n coat of tar and
feathers which an ambitious Amori-
can politician, gathering graft i'm the
Philippine field, prompts the natives
10 administer to the baron. The ser
want gets the tar and feathers, the rail-
ride and several other things intended
for his master and many ludicrous
situations arise.

SNOWSTORM WITH THUNDER.
Desoeuds On Washington And Sets Oldest Iu-
habitants Calculating.

Washington was visited last night
with driving snow storm, accompa-
MED by thunder and lightning. Prof.
Edrward b. Gariott, local forecasteT.
said he could give no exact oxplana-
tion for this strange condition of the
weather, bat that ii was probably due
to n sudden shifting of the wind.
II was unseasOnably warm i'm the
afternoon, the maximum temperature
reaching 40 derces, and the sun shone
almost all day, The snowstorm start
ed between s and 8 o clock, and was
accompanied by drop in the tenn
perature. The last similar phenome-
non in Washington was on March 3.
1881, the night before the Inaugural
tion of James a. Garfield as Prsi-
dent.
The same storm struck Annapolis
about II p. m. and in less than thirty
minutes the streets were again white
with the beautiful. The wind blew "A
gale and the SKY was clear and the

THE OYSIERMEN TO FIGHT.

tend Meeflng

There was a good attendance at the
meeting Of the Oystermen' Union of
Anne Arundel county, held in the City
Assembly Rooms on Gloucester street
last night. Great interest was manic
tested in the wSrk of tho Union and a
number OF new members We're obtain
ed.
Speeches denounelng the Hannah
oyster law were made by James II.
Murdoek, president of the union; eN-
Mayor Charles A. Dubois. OF Annap-
oils; Martin Collins, one of the oldest
oyster packers in the State; John
Frank, Jr., local Waterman, and
Charles jefferson and W. A. Longer,
Of Eastport.
The first suggestion that the oyster
men should follow legal lines,in their
fight was made by Martin Collins. who
advised that the courts be petitioned
to restrain the Shellfish Commission
from leasing any ground shown by
the survey To be barren bottom which
the oystermeu believe should he in
eiuded in the natural beds. The oys-
termen are allowed the right Of ap-
peal under the law, but since the or
ganization of the union no attention
has been paid TO the legal phase OF
the question and the suggestion last
night did not meet with favor.
Those of the union believe that they
can best serve their interests by close
organization and by not taking oysters

NAVAL ACADEMY JUNCTION.
w. BIS A. ODENToN STATION
TO BE so CALLED.
Both Express And Local Passenger Sery.
ice Will Be Given On The New
lnter-urban Flee
tric Line.

President George Il. Bishop. Of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railway, announced yester-
day that IL had been decided ny the
company To change the name of the
roads station at Odenton 10 Naval
Academy Junction.
The company has recently purchased
n lot Of fifteen acres of ground near
Odenton, and is now preparing to
erect shops and car house. The
branch TO Annapolis leaves the main
line at this point. and is about four
teen miles in legnth. IL is now oper-
ated as n steam road, and is single
tracked. The company plans to double
track the branch later on, but for the
present there will be only few sid
ings built TO enable the cars 10 pass
each other. The line is now pcing
electrified as rapidly as possible.
The company has men working
night and day i'm an effort 10 COM
plete il by July | next, the date set
for opening the road. Owing to the
fact that much wet weather was en-
countered during the last six months
OF last year and early in January, the
completion may be delayed, however;
but the company has not yet entirely
given up hope of having cars in opera
tion by next July. The contract for
twenty-five cars 10 be used on the
main line between Baltimore and
Washington has been let TO the Niles
Car Company, of Niles, O.
The electrical equipment for the cars
was ordered several months ago from
the General Electric Company, and
some of IL will soon be ready for de-
livery. The cars will resemble the
Pullman coach, but viii be smaller.
The cars will have n seating capacity
for sixty-two passengers, and will ac-
commodate many more. The plat
forms will be wide and inclosed. 1t
is now the intention OF the company
to paint the cars the color of the ordi-
nary Pullman coach. 1t is planned to
give both local and express service.
1t is probable that the cars will be
operated in trains whenever travel
warrants it. The equipment of each
OF the express cars is sufficiently
powerful, il is said, to haul n train
of five ordinary passenger coaches at
a spsed of forty-five miles an hour
For local service lowor-power cars
will be used. The new line will be
double. tracked its entire length, and
there will be many sidings, To en-
able the locals 10 be side-tracked
willie the express cars pass. The
electrical equipment of the express
cars is such, the builders assert, that
they can make speed OF not less
than sixty miles an hour when run
n ing alone.

failed TO come 10 an agreement with
the officials OF the Washington, Bal
timore and Annapolis Electric Rail
way Company over the matter OF the
roads crossings of the county high

one and the board was in executive
session over the matter number of

and representatives of the Company
over crossings in the section of the

failure TO agree, and the representa-
tives of the company served notice on
the Commissioners that they would
proceed TO construct the crossings un-
der authority of sections 260 and 294
of article % OF tho Code OF Public
Laws. They claim that under those
sections they can construct the cross
ings without authority.

To Close Bridge.

The County Commissioners are now
arranging to close the bridge in course
of construction between this city and

sons, including school children, cross
the structure ON a small footboard,
which is extremely dangerous. The

ferry stops its days run. The
changes will be made within the next
