How One Can Have Enjoyment at Atlantic City. A FAVORITE RESORT. Visitors of All Classes and Conditions Are ‘There and All Find a Field for Pleasare or Recreation—Some of the Varied Amuse- ments, ——_+-_—_ Correspondence of The Evening Star. Atzaxtic Crrr, June 22, 1898. Of all the summer resorts on the shore of our glorious old Atlantic ite namesake city is the prime favorite of the great majority of people, who when the summer time comes leave the hot towns, the dust and the noise, for the sea- shore and its cool breezes. Nowhere on the coast can you find opportunity for greater diversity of recreation. From the rock-bound coast of Maine to the Florida Keys there is no place like Atlantic City. There is Old Orchard, with its pine woods and rock-strewn coast and 1ts coterie of old ad- mirers that troop down there year after year. ‘There is Newport, with its garrison and train- ing station, its handful of army people and its cottagers, who spend their summers port and their winters elsewhere. Then comes Long Branch, that delightful place, where s man who would be anybody must be somebody. This is really a charming place if you have plenty of money; that is all that is required to foot the bill. A little further down the coast ie Ocean Grove, with its feast of tabernacles and its tented avenues of pilgrims—a of rest, a haven of safety, a boon and blessing to mothers and children, And then we come to Spring Lake. an orchid among the common plants that flourish on the J coast—a seaside park—s stately array of private cottages, beautiful trees and lakes and ¢ broad expanse of blue sea and hard white beach unobstracted by board walk, pavilion or pier. Old Pomt, Jacksonville and St. Augustine all possess attractions for the few rather than the many; but Atlantic City is the resort of and attractions are there for ail ‘The city itself is gay and bright, and the people seem to be always contented and happy. There is a large resident population, a theater, several newspapers, two railroads, electric cars and many large business houses and stores. The seaside hotels are particularly fine. They may be ranked among the best on the coast. ‘These, with the great number of handsome pri- vate cottages, the broad streets and grassy lawns, make an attractive place out of what was once a barren waste of sand. A MIXED POPULATION. Atlantic City’s population is made up of peo- ple from every state in the Union and a large percentage of foreigners, travelers from abroad, members of Jegations, &c. You will find all kinds of people bere, for this place seems to ‘@ panacea for all the ills known to the Body and soul. The biase man of the world comes in search of something new; the society woman comes seeking the elixir of youth, the rejected swain seeks balm for his briken heart and finds it in the smiles of the summer girl, who has nothing else to do: invalids come in search of heaith, and you meet them ery turn, reclining in their wheel chairs, riding on the board walk or on the beach, sitting in the sun parlor or on the pier. There is one dear little sunny-haired girl here who has infamma- tory rheumatism. She lies in her wheel chair ali the time, and her nurse pushes her about. Isee her every day. Sometimes she wheels herself from piace to place, smiling and greet- ing the people who pass, for sbe seems to know everybody and is a general favorite. For those who like to observe people and faces the board walk is a never-failing source of interest, and a waik from the inlet to Excursion Beach is as good aa going to the play. There are pretty girls—lots of them, great big canes with dudes holding on to them, old people and young people, wealthy and poor, consumptives and convaiescents, sick people and weil people, the lame, the halt and the blind, and Inst, but not least, the excursionist—all these find a field for their pleasure or recreation and plenty of room in which to air their hobbies. In the booths which line the inland side of the board walk you will find wares of all kinds and from all over the world. ‘There are tricks and nicknacks from Paris, taliemans and pot- from Turkey, bend workand sandals from the Indians. mosaics from Rome (which range in price as high as $250), curios from China, Japan, Arabia end South America, jewelry from Switzerland and France, coral from the isles of the sea, moonstones and diamonds from the pebbly ‘coast of the Atlantic, and shells and shell work of all kinds. One of the prettiost pieces of this kind was a napkin ring made of a single pearl shell. At one place I saw in a tank ex for sale a skate, several turtles anda baby shark. ‘There is more sale for shovels and buckets than any other articie of merchandise, and every child you see is armed with s shovel and a bucket. ‘TRE FISHERMAN IN BIS GLORY. ‘The fisherman is in his glory here. You find hum perehed on the cross beams under the pier, regardless of the gay laughing crowd that Pprumenades back and forth over his head; you find him in abit of a boat away up in the salt marsh, far from the madding crowd: you come xctoss him out on the ocean, luis sail mak- ing a fair picture against the sunlit sea and sky. The small boy, too, takes great delight in dredging up clams, catchiuz starfish and crabs. I must not leave out the deur girls, for some of them are fine fiahermen. I watched one of these soft-hearted creatures catching a starfish, and she ensnared the wily thing so adroitly that it was not injured at all; but then her ecourag failed and she had to ask the heip of one of the old fishermen standing by, who procured a block of wood and fastened ‘the fish down with tacks to dry. The fair maid then proudly carried off her trophy, satisfied with her sac- cess for the day. Every visitor here ought to be contented. He must be hard to please if he is disappointed. ‘There is no lack of amusement for the young and old. ‘There are the merry-go-rounds, with their prancing steeds, horses, lions, goats aud THE MOST STUBBORN Skin and Scalp Diseases, the worst forms of Scrofula, all blood - taints and poisons of every name and nat- ure, are utterly rooted out by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. For every disease caused by a torpid liver or irapure blood, it is the only remedy so certain and effective that it can be guaranteed. If it fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. Eczema, Tetter, Salt-rheam, Ery- a Boils, Carbuncles, Enlarged Glands, Tumors, and Swellings, and every kindred ailment, are com- Pletely and permanently cured by it. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.

There is the long pier reaching ont hundreds of feet into | deep water, where it isa perfect delight to sit and wateli ' the ever-changing beauties of the ocean. ‘Then there ix the wide strip of hard white beach stretching from Atlantic City proper to the end of the island.

AMUSEMENTS FOR A DAT. Acharming way to spend the morning is to take the train for Longport and then the little steamer across Egg Hurbor to Somers Point, an old-fashioned. sleepy place with houses in it that were built 100 years ago, the gardens ablaze with poppies, hollyhocks, ragged robins and red roses. from the tiny little tots in mothers’ aris to th old people who have to be helped by younger and stronger arms. There is no gayer, brighter sight off the board walk than this an hun- dreds of people in the surf and as many more lookers on in gay costume, with their parasols of red, white and blue and every color of the rainbow .

Laborer Atte Off a Car, on Green, a colored laborer employed the Anacostia Baileond Company, was charged with assaulting a small white boy, Joseph Richards, by pushing him off a car on Matrect near Ist southeast on Jane 9. It was testified that the boy got on the car and was eating a banana when Green took bold of him to put him off, alleging that Le had not paid his fare. Several of the passengers testi- fied that the assunlt was entirely keds that the boy was in the aa eating a banana when defendant seized |him ‘and attempted to put bim off; that the driver had puta colored boy off for steal- ing a ride a few moments before. ‘The defend- ant claimed that when he spoke to the boy about his fun he cursed him, aud be would not allow any one to curse him, and that was the reason he intended to put him off, but he bad not stopped the car. It was claimed for the defendant, who was represented by Mr. Job Barnard, that the assaw | was trivial; th company had been much | annoyed by boys atealing rides, and that Green, | Laving been requested to assist. supposed that the boy was beating his way, and so took hold of him. ‘The court said that the railroad companies would be supported in the enforce- | ment of all reasonable rales and regulations as to ejecting improper disorderly persons, but they mast stop the ear. shell, continued the judge, was that he had seen a colored boy put off by the driver and he thought to put a’ white boy off.

Already the counties I have named are covered with a network of coal roads in course of construction, and the magnitude of the enterprises attests the great expectations in the way of returns. THE WORK OF IMPROVEMENT. Passing along the valley of Tug river, through primeval forests, the traveler suddenly comes upon # reminder of civilization in the | shape of a telegraph line attached to the great tree trunks, aud a short distance away finds the camps of gangs of Hungarians, Italians and negroes who, perhaps, are driving « tunnel a mile long beneath a gigantic mountain to ac- oad, the unfinished bed of which winds away along the valley. A little beyond the piers of a great railroad bridge are rising, and farther on, at the location of what, |six months nence, will be a mammoth mine and a great coking plant, a town has been laid out, and a email army of carpenters and masons are at work. Civilization is thus fore- i way through the valleys and over the all over this region, cutting down the forests, moving mountains almost literally, changing the course of streams, build- ing ‘railroads and towns | spri up almost in a Prey, Met unoal is the heavy travel—miners, lumber men, rail- road men and other artisans and laborers going in all directions with thetr families, and all ex- | Press the greatest confidence in the country, and asserting and believing that it bas a great industrial future and that ther have come here tostay. Itisasituation which purtakes some- thing of the rush to the great west at the in- ception of the mining era, and it would at- tract wide attention were the outside world but given an opportunity to observe what is going on. Land is appreciating wonderfully in price and changing and churches formed. It is not many months since the firet church edifice in all the history of Logan county was erected. Now there are several euch, but there is a lamentable absence of ministers, A PASTOR OF BOUR CONGREGATIONS. An idea of the energy required to engage in 8 tussle with sin in this portion of the state is afforded in the experiences of Rev. A. M. Toler of Logan county, who is the pastor of four con- Rregations, whose only places of worship are the dwellings of members. ‘These congrega- tions are scattered over thirty miles of territory, necessitating long rides over the roughest | of apologies for roads. Tev. Toler's wife, by the way, isa daughter of Anse Hatfield and a niece of Eph. Hatfield, the father of the family engaged in the celebrated MeCoy-Hatfield fend during the past twelve years. This reverend gentleman is one of those who bave held on to their land despite the seductive offers from northern capitalists, and has 6,000 acres of coal and timber land which some day will make its possessor a mil- lionaire. The scenery among these mountain fastnesses is often grand almost beyond description, and it is in this region, when opened, as it will be, ands, schools are being started | to railroad travel, that the summer resorts of the future will be located. In the country about the headquarters of the Guyan river the Scenery 18 particularly wild and picturesque. Passing on horseback through what is known as the Trap Hill valley all signs of civilization disappear, and the traveler can easily imagine that he has passed the outposts of progress and ‘that he is in an all but undiscovered country. Roads bave disappeared and only rough trails lead across the mountains. I followed such a traila few days ago, along the valler of Slab wild stream hemmed in by high moun- tains. At one point I rode for a mile across the path of a hurricane, which bad covered the ground with the interlaced tree trunks of what had been a magnificent forest of hard wood. jeading my horse by the bridle, being too rongh for riding by any one except a mountaineer, i next found myself on Gulf creek, in the midst of a wilderness profound as exists anywhere on the American. continent. BAD NEVER TRAVELED. After traveling five or six miles along this valley withont seeing any signs of civilization Treached a log house, where I found a family named Ross. The busband was absent hunt- ing, but the wife and several bright-eyed chil- dren greeted me, furnished dinner and directed me on my way. The wife told me she had never scoua larger torn than Logan C. B., with ite two dozen houses, and the children hhad never seen a school book. This home was asample of scores passed by me during the past week, but there will soon be an improve- ment in this particular with the influx of new people and the establishment of schools. Proceeding on, through the valley of Tur- ney’screek and ‘thence to the Eoll fork of Guyan river, I finally struck a relic of civiliza- tion in the shape of the old Virginia state road, and a few miles further on, from the summit of Flat Top mountain, saw spread out before me Portions of five counties—Mercer and Summers on the south and Raleigh, Wyoming and Me- Dowell on the north—forming a vista of sur- passing interest and one worth the discomforts of the entire journey. This now Little known region is one of great interest, and is well worthy the attention of the summer seeker after recreation and the pictur- eoque. IWP.
