Everything about Cape May’s social life {3 military now, because of the presence here of Baltimore’s crack regiment, the fifth Maryland. They came last Thursday, and are to remain until midnight Satur- day. During all this time there has been hardly anything else going on but hops, ‘anquets and reeeptions in honor of the visiting military. Col. Frank Markoe, the commardant of the regiment, has received probably twenty-five invitations to dinner, and just as many invitations for hops. Last Saturday evening the ball given in honor of the regiment.at the Stockton was largely attended, it being estimated that 8,000 persons were present at the affaig. Monday Governor Brown of Marylahd arrived with a large party of ladies, and his staff, including Major General H. Kyd Douglass and Brigadier Generals Clinton Paine and William Lee. They were re- ceived by the regimental officers upon their arrival and escorted to the Stockton, where they have fifty rooms. Tuesday was Governor's day in Camp Zollinger, and all day the governor and staff remained with them. At noon the party dined with Col. Markoe and staff on the grounds. At 7 o'clock there were re- views by the governor and party on Con- gress Hall lawn and in front of the Stock- ton. Tuesday Governor William C. Oates and son and Miss Lane, daughter of Gen. Lane, came to the Windsor, and ex-Gov. 2 Biggs of Delaware came to swell the of notables. Yesterday the party visited the mammoth stone pile at the Delaware breakwater on a steamer. Tomorrow evening a big ball is to be given at the Stockton, at which Gov. Hastings and staff of Pennsylvania will also be present, and at which Gov. Werts and staff of New Jersey are expected.

Am Incident at a Political Meeting Where He Spoke. “T had the pleasure of meeting Col. Rob- ert J. Ingersoll the other day,” sald a Prominent New Yorker to a Star writer, “and I reminded the colonel of a time back in 1881, when I met him at the town of Nutt, down in the Lake Valley mining region of New Mexico.

That mears a community of 20,000 people,who will make this place their home—good, honest, industrious men and women, whose willing hands will make this wilderness blossom as the rose.’ “Ingersoll believed in his dream, and such were his powers of persuasion that on his return to Washington, Ivanhoe stock be- came almost a craze, and people mortgaged their homes to buy it. When the bubble burst and the Ivanhoe was a flat failure, the sensitive Ingersoll purchased over $200,000 worth of the worthless stock at par out of his own pocket, and all to save the hapless vendors from utter ruin. “ ‘I can better lose $200,000,” sald the col- onel, ‘than any of these poor men can lose bite aad hes ee Tey bouens on my ecommendation. is but right that I them back their money.’ 3 aan “My meeting with Col. Ingersoll at Nutt was not the first time I ever saw the great orator. One time during the Hayes cam- paign for the presidency, Ingersoll was down to :nake a speech in Cleveland. It was in the evening and the open air, and some 10,900 people had assembled to hear the celebrated talker. Judge Sherlock J. Andrews, himself an orator of renown, pre- sided.

Thus laurched, he sailed boldly out on the heaving political sea. His speech was like the movement of a trained rac2r. Rapid as the wind from beginning to end, he never slackened speed nor lost his feet for a second. It was a relief to listen, for while the effort was supreme, so careful was his training and so great his strength, his intellectual pulse was as even and his mental breathing as regular as though he were guiltless of the least exertion.

TROLLEY IN BOSTON A Oity That Cannot Get Rid of the Nuisance. A STORY ABOUT GOV. GREENHALGE His Protest as a Student Against Action of the Faculty: STREET CAR MAIL SERVISE —_>-—_—_—__ Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. - BOSTON, July 18, 1895. Probabiy the most trolley-infested city is Boston. Nearly every street is obscured by a network of wires, and the clang of the car‘gong and the buzz of the trolley is heard in every section of the city. The streete are proverbially narrow, and the jam of cars at different points on Tremont and WasKington streets is something that startles a man coming from the beautiful and roomy city of Washington. Frequent- ly there will be lines of from sixteen to twenty cars on both tracks, and it will be seyeral minutes before a start can be made in either direction. Policemen have to be stationed at all prominent erossings, s0 that the cars may be stopped at intervals to give vehicles and pedestrians an op- portunity to get through. So great is the trolley congestion that a subway Is being built, which tunnels under the public gar- den, the common and several business streets to the union station. Through this subway mahy, of the cars will go, which will gelieve the difhculty somewhat, but not much. Bostonians have got used to the trolley curse, because they say they cannot help themselves. They must have some sort of repid transit; the trolley got in its work first, and is now so firmly intrenched that it seems impossible to dislodge it. The ac- ceidents are numerous, but that don’t make any particular difference. At-first all mis- haps were published, but now it is said that trolley accidents, unless fatal, rarely find their way into print. If damages are sought against the company an adjustment is quietly effected, and nobody but those interested knows anything about it. Strang- ers in the city don’t treat the trolley so in- differently. The remark, “I wouldn't live in a city where the pedestrian is in so much constant @anger from the trolley cars for anything in the world,” was con- stantly heard during the progress of the Christian Endeavor convention from visit- ing delegates. Members of the Washington delegation, whatever their views as to the trolley were before they. left home, are rew dead against the system. I am con- fident that not a vote could be. obtained to afflict the natioral capital with the trolley after the Boston experience. No one would wish to have the beautiful, broad streets and avenues of Washington disfigured by unsightly poles and a network of wires. No trolley for us! * ‘ Gov. Greenhalge. Gov. Greenhalge has been the most popu- lar executive that the bay state has had in many years, and there’appears to be no Goubt that he will be again chosen to fill the same position at the next election. He is a graceful and eloquent speaker, and as he welcomed the Endeavorers in Me- chanics’ Hall on the opening day of the convention my mind went back to proba- bly the first speech he ever made. He en- tered Harvard College in 1859, and at the close of that freshman year the faculty passed a vote abolishing the practice of hazing. This was because several of the new men had been sufferers from an un- usually severe dose administered by the scphomores. The faculty at the same time abolished tho annval foot ball game, which from time immemorial had taken place on the delta between the freshmen and sopho- mores on the first Monday of the term. Generally the sophomores won, for all the members of that class knew each other, while the freshmen had just come together and were unacquainted. But in 1850 the freshmen held a meeting on the first day of the term, oppointed committees of in- treduction, with the result that the new class went on the field fully acquainted with its own men and won the first game. There was a good deal of slugging, and some of both classes were pretty badly used up. age A Hazing Story. When the freshmen became sophomores they, of course, regretted that they couldn't treat the incoming freshmen as they had been treated. We buried the foot ball that had been purchased for the game that was prohibited with appropriate honors. It was taken to the delta, followed by a solemn procesion of sophs; there was an oration and a poem, and then it was deposited in the grave, at the head of which was placed a board bearing the following inscription: “Hie jacet Foot Ball Fightum obiit, July 2, 1860. Requiescat in pace.” There was also a footboard with the single word, “Re- surgam.” That ended the foot ball, but the hazing was difficult to suppress. Par- ties of sophomores would make quiet raids upon the unsuspecting freshmen, and many were taught the lessons that they needed. One night, however, a party engaged in having fur with a freshman was pounced upon by the faculty, and they were all sentenced to suspersion, their terms vary- ing from six months to two years and a half, the last being imposed upon the one in whose room the party had assembled. The class of ‘63, the sophomores, held a Meeting and expressed sympathy with the victims of the faculty, and we got an ex- press wagon, into which the suspended men were placed and were dragged about Cambridge by a rope, on which was near- ly every member of the class. The resl- dence of nearly every member of the facul- ty was visited, at which groans for the faculty and that member in particular and cheers for '63 were given. After that the rope was cut up into small pieces, and at the afternoon recitation nearly every man marched in with a section of rope in the buttonhole of his coat. - A Protest Against Tyranny. Of course, the faculty were highly in- censed at this proceeding. They held a meeting to decide what was best to do, for the situation puzzled them. If they pass2d @ vote of suspension on those who had par- ticipated in the parade it would include nearly every member of the class. They finally resolved to take the head man of the class and make him responsible for the good behavior of his classmates. This proposition was so manifestly unjust that another class meeting was held, at which Greenhalge made his debut as a speaker, delivering an earnest and impassioned ad- dress on the text “Resistance to Tyrants 13 Obedienca to God.” It had an electrical effect upon his classmates, and a commit- tee was appointed to visit the faculty and protest against their action. The protest was effective, and the excitement died out, but no one who heard Mr. Greenhaige on that occasion had any hesitation in predict- ing his success as a public speaker. Street Car Mail Service. The street car mail service is fllustrated in Boston, and has interested many of the visitors. The cars are painted white, with gold letteriag, and readily arrest attention. Inside they are fitted up just like a railway mail car, with every facility for the as- sortment and distributjon of mail matter of every character. Of course, they run on the trolley system, and as they rush through the streets they practically illus- trate the latest improvement in the postal service. I spent Sunday at Megansic Beach, a set- tlement in North Falmouth, one of those that have grown up in the vicinity since President Cleveland has taken up his sum- mer residence at Gray Gables. It is about sixty miles from Boston, and you go through the Buzzard’s Bay station on your way. This beach is about eight miles from Gray Gables by drive, and not more than six miles from Falmouth, where Secretary of State Olney has his summer home. The settlement Is made up of wealthy Boston people, who have just found out that it is more pleasant and comfortable and less ex- penslye to buy ground and live in their own cottage than it is to go to a fashionable seaside resort. The beach is a good one and the bathing is fine, although the surf is not high. The cottages are supplied with water from a big tank run by a wind mill, so that the peo- ple have all the luxuries of home, as well as the advantages of the sea air tonic. A ood stiff breeze is-always blowing, no mat- ter how strong th@ sijn’s rays or how high the thermometer - register. The Knights Templar. Now that the Christian Endeavorers have gone Boston is making active preparations to entertain the’Knights Templar at the triennial conclav ich will bé held here next month. The! 1 .commanderies are arranging for a - hospitable reception to the visiting rs, and it is ex- pected that there’ be at least 50,000 Masons in this city next month. I met Major Corson with Mr. Darby on Boylston street the other day just a3 they had con- cluded arrangements for the care of Poto- mac Commandery, No. 2. The mounted commandery of the District, De Molay, will be quartered the Copley Square Hotel, and Mr. Risteen, the proprietor, will display the handsome Knights Tem- plar badge presented to him by the Washington Christian Endeavorers. The knights here say they intend to make the conclave the most enjoyable that has ever taken place. F. T. MRS. WAITE EXPLAINS The Mary Washington-Monument and the Needs of the Society. An Endewment Fund Reguired to Provide for the Mainte: of the Grounds, The following paragraph is going the rounds of the press: “Mrs. Waite, the widow of Chief Justice Waite, says she has grave fears that the Mary Washington Society, of which she is the head, will not be able to complete the monument at Fredericksburg, proposed in honor of the mother of the first President. The ground about the shaft was donated on the condition that the place be given an endowment fund sufficient to keep a cus- todian, who will see that the ground is kept in good order; but as this will require a sum of about $15,000, the society may not be able to retain the land.” There are some erroneous statements in this paragraph. Mrs. Waite, the widow of Chief Justice Waite, is a resident of this city. She has devoted a great deal of time to the society, whose object it is to erect a monument to the mother of George Washington. To ‘a Star reporter, who asked her the other day what the status of this work is, she said: e “The National Mary Washington Memo- rial Association was organized in 18W), about the same tire the Mary Washington Monument Association of Fredericksburg was organized, and belng on the ground, secured the land surrounding the monument with the unfinished affair commenced sixty years before. As the National Mary Wash- ington Memorial Association, as organized, seemed to have better facilities for raising money, the Fredericksburg association,after much consultation, agreed to deed the prop- erty to the national association on condi- tion that they erect a suitable monument within a reasonable time, and provide a sufficient endowment fund to provide and take care of the property in the future, but that in case of failure to fulfill the condi- tions of thelr deed the property should re- vert, with its imprayements, in deeding the monument to the Mary Washington Monu- ment Association of Fredericksburg. The Monument. “The new monument, a handsome shaft of Barre grauite ovey fifty feet high, was completed in 188, and dedicated in the presence of President Cleveland and other istinguished persons May 10, 1894. We now have the money to build a small cot- tage for the gardeher and-watchman, and hope to have it finished within the year, but the endowment fimd is yet to be found. We must have the’ $15,000, at least. As I said, we have the,money for the garden- er's house, but there are four acres of greund to be laid ‘out and improved with trees and shrubbery. When we first com- menced work we wished to make jt a na- tional affair, and asked for $2,000 from each state in the Union. No state has as yet given us over that amount, not more than two as much, and.many more com- paratively nothing. .Colorado has given more than alt the New England states to- gether, except Vermont. Massachusetts collected a small sum at the time of the centennial celebration. in Boston, which was afterward paid over to us upon the completion of the monument. That is all we have had from that state. Collections which might be made by entertainments, fairs, concerts, ‘colonial teas’ or ‘dames’ in the states ch so far have done noth- ing, or next to nothing, would enable us to complete our work and turn it over to the trustees, the President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the United States, and the governor of the state of Virginia, all ex-officio. A Woman's Work. “It is especially woman’s work—the first monument built to a woman by women. As @ patriotic movement, will not the women of this country come forward now and help us completo the work of honoring the mother of the father of our country? Honor our greatest man by honoring his mother. “It 1s very !mportant that proper care shall be taken to guard this great work from destruction. We are obliged to have it watched all the time. Vandalism ts Tampant over all this land, I believe, and the relic hunter is abroad. There is a large rock near the monument on which Mary Washington used to sit with her Bible to read and meditate, where she un- doubtedly sent up many prayers for that noble son. That has to be constantly watched, or not a vestige of it above ae would be left at the end of this ————————+o—_ Newspaper Virility and Magazine Siush. From the Chicago Chronicle. The devoted reader who took pains to pe- Tuse the latest installment of a homily, masquerading as a story, by Robert Grant, in a New York magazine, may have had his attention arrested by the following paragraph: ‘ If I were asked to select what one in- “fluence more than another wastes the spare time of a modern man, I should be inclined to specify the reading of newspapers. The value of the modern datly newspaper as a short cut to knowledge of what is actually happening in two hemispheres is indisput- able, provided it is read regularly, so that one can eliminate from the consciousness those facts which are contradicted or qual- ified on the following day. Of course it is indispensable to read the morning, and perhaps the evening, newspaper in order to know what is going on in the world. But the persistent réading of many news- papers, or the -wholei of almost any news- paper, 1s nearly as detrimental to the econ- omy of time as thd cigarette habit to health. E Doubtless there are sometimes better things to read thanonewspapers, but the modern magazine ieemphatically not ‘cne of them. A magazine editor, for example, has allowed the writer of the foregoing paragraph lavish space month after morth in which to set forth the gospel of snoboc- racy under the titie’“The Art of Living.” If men live without \an income of $10,000 a year Mr. Grant only notes it in order to sneer at them. They are all classed by this precious Boston prig under the generic mame of “Rogers the bookkeeper,” and thelr needful economtes, their quiet lives, their honest domesticity, thelr habits of industry and thriftare described with the half humorous contempt which an Ameri- can might express, for a Congo “savage. The man who reads Mr. Grant's disquisi- tions can only end with the conviction that the author holds the life of Murray Hill and Newport the only life worth living. Unfortunately it is out of that life that come the stories which make up the least edifying part of the newspapers. If all pursued the pleasant paths which Mr. Grant lays out for the feet of his disciples the newspaper would indeed scarcely jus- tify Its existence, As ft is today, however, more may be learned from one {ssue of a newspaper rightfully read than by wading through all the facts and follies of the modern maga- zine.

Summer Plensures at Colton’s om the Potomac. Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLTON’S, St. Mary’s Co., Md., July 16, 1895. Colton’s has been immensely ular this year. With plenty of gay fol always present things are kept on a constant “hum.” There are many summer pleasures. The facilities for bathing, boating, fishing and crabbing are ample. Frequently there are yacht races in full view of the hotel. Wednesday evening there will be a- ‘show, «presented by C. Garvin Gilmaine and his ‘Washington assistants, There promises to be a big house. Guests from Blackistone’s and residents of all the surrounding coun- try will attend in numbers. The St. Mary's section is rich in beautiful creeks, roman- tic spots and foliaged inlets, while history and tradition gives it an additional charm. It was just in front of the hotel, on Black- istone’s island, only a wading distance off, that Leonard Calvert, in 1634, “with a brother, twenty gentlemen of fashion and 300 laboring men,” lahded, performed re- ligious services and were visited by the wondering natives. Calvert called the is- land St. Clement's. After some explora- tion he settled at a point but a few miles down, which he called St. Mary's and dedi- cated to the Virgin Mary, designing. the spot as the capital of Maryland, the do- main he had been sent out by his brother, young Lord Baltimore, to colonize. There was established a legislative assembly composed of the whole people—a purely democratic legislature—which existed until emigration so “increased the population that the method was no longer convenient. Then was set up there a representative government which develop2d into the com- monwealth of Maryland. ‘The whole river front within easy sailing distance of Colton’s is filled with historic reminders, while countless relics of the In- dians who once thronged the country about are everywhere discernible. ight in the midst of all this will be In- troduced at once the conveniences and com- forts of modern civilization, for plans are now being prepared for the enlargement of Colton’s Hotel, the establishment of an illuminating electric plant, cold storage houses and other “up-to-date city attach- ments. ‘The Parrot Panched His Check. From the Philadelphia Record. At a ght lunch cafe, near 9th and Market stréevts, each waiter is supplied with a package of printed tickets, upon which he cuts out with a punch the figures representing the amount of the patron’s purchase. The cafe also has a parrot. One day last week a young man entered the cafe and took his noonday meal. He was a very light eater, and his check amounted to fifteen cents. On his way to the cash- fer’s desk to settle up the young man passed the parrot, which sat gnawing a cracker on its perch. The young man be- gan. to tease the bird, poking the meal check at it tantalizingly. The bird made a sudden dive and jabbed its pointed bill through the thin paper. The young man snatched the check away, however, and, shaking his fist at the bird, went jauntily on to the cashier’s desk. He laid his fifteen cents down with the check and started to wulk out. The casb- fer called him back and demanded forty- five cents more. The young man was astonished and refused to pay. The cashier pointed to the check with both “15” and “oo” punched out. The waiter was calied, but he didn’t remember what the young man had eaten. It was only after a deal of wrangling that the young man con- vinced the cashier that the parrot’s bill had punched out the “60.” sthings which we manage better in The American “Quick Lunch.” Bree thi Seemon Glebe . ‘The prevalence of indigestion in America has been variously accounted for, iced water and sweets being two of the favorite explanations. But, as a matter of fact, it is not so much what one eats as che way In which one eats it which works the mis- chief, and in America the way is a stand- ing affront to the art of gastronomy. For 1n what other country than America, as a writer In the Critic very pertinently asks, would the legend ‘Quick Lunch” prove an attraction to the hungry man? A foreigner (especially if he were a Brit- ish workman) would regard it in the light of an insult. A Frenchman will do any- thing in a hurry except eat, and, in conse- quence, his digestive apparatus does its duty. But the average American seems to think that the time spent at table is wasted. Indeed, the writer in the Critic declares that it is che commonest thing to see men bolting their food at a lunch counter, not to get back to business, but in order to loaf about the streets till the midday interval is spent. Even those who enjoy more leisure show a similar disregard for the high art of dining, and an American lady has been heard to say that she thought the nicest way to live would be to go to the pantry when you were hungry and take a bite of something, but that to sit at table was a sheer, waste of time. “Ten minutes for re- freshments,” in fact, was her idea of ra- tional refection. Here at least is one of the the effete old mother country. Record break- ing is all very well, but it is a bad ideal to — at a = = eating is concerned. ere, at any rate, the policy of Mr. Glad- stone is above reproach. a ——+o+—___ Bicycle Manufactere. From Hardware. It 1s estimated that last year (1894) over 200,000 wheels were mandfactured by the different companies engaged in their pro- duction. This year, with greatly increased facilities and improved machinery, together ith a large increase in the number of pro- ducers, the product will reach in the neigh- borhood of 400,000 wheels. ‘What it will be next year can only be guessed at, as this year’s business has been dwarfed and held in check by a positive inability to supply the unparalleled demand for wheels of every description. New factories contemplate entering this seductive business; additions are being built to old factories, almost equal to the original plant, stocked with the most intri- cate and “up-to-date” machinery, which before March, 1896, will begin to make en impression on the trade, that will carry the production to a possible 700,000. ‘This, with every foreign country with an intelligent population already knocking at our doors for a share in this distribution (even in blocks of 500 to 1,000 wheels at a time, from individual buyers), will, we prophesy. even with the grand total above suggested for a year’s production, leave us in No- vember, 1896, with few, if any, wheels to carry over into 1897. ————+e2+___ Fruit Damaged by the Storm.
