BY THE COOL SEA Atlantic City Exempt From the Boil- ing Heat. WASHINGTON:ANS THERE IN FORCE Grand Roster Guests. The of District BATHING THE VOGUE Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, August 16.—During the warm spell of the last week, while the residents of the city suffered and smoth- ered from the heat of the sun and the humidity of the atmosphere, the visitor to this resort enjoyed the greatest com- fort in a climate where the sun may be warm, but the cooling breeze which is always blowing from old ocean tempers his rays sufficiently to permit of any out- door amusement or pastime without any undue inconvenience. The sojourners here have settled down to the full enjoyment of their summer outing and are beginning to look for other and more recreative pastime than the hop and euchre which, for the time, were patronized to the exclusion of all others. Of course cards and dancing have their devotees, who are nev. in the pursuit of their particular ple: and they still have many opportunities nightly to yield to temptation. But a re- action has set in among the great major- ity, and for the last week it has been no strange sight to see a ha or a game in progress with many chairs, where before it was a crush in the one and a demand for hands in the other. The y of a few weeks ago probably accounts for these conditions, for at that time there surely was a ties. And such a surfeit. the demand that it often became fiapera- tive to attend three cr more 3 night, so no friends would be s! be missed which anticipation led A Change Occurs.

AT THE MEETING OF THE RIVERS Recent Happenings in the Famous Old Town. PROSPECTIVE IMPROVEMENTS Speclal Correspondence of The Evening star. HARPER'S FERRY, W. Va., August 16.— This place is still a famous summer re- sort for thousands of Washingtonians, and this summer has been an unusually bright season. All the hotels, both in the village and on the mountain, have been filled most of the summer, but as the guests are con- stantly on the move, the hotels are like the proverbial street car, they always have room for one more. Persons who have never spent any time on the mountain, but have just passed through on a train, have no conception of the beauty of the place or of its health-giving qualities. The pictur- esque scenery and historic places of inter- est, as well as the fine bass fishing and gool gunning, provide all the attractions necessary to insure a large number of guests from early in the summer till late in the autumn. Leading from the top of the mountain are fine roads, which afford endlessly interesting drives. The nights ure always cool and pleasant, and the coun- try is productive of the finest fruit grown in this section of the United States. Basily Accessible. Being, as it is, within easy access of the national capital, it has become one of the mest pepular mountain resorts for the peo- ple of Washington. There are situated within easy access of the hotels churches of almost every denomination, and nearly every night there is a dance.or social gath- ering at one of the hotels, or in the town hall. Thus both the sober and the gay may find o-cupation. i Mr. Richard Sylvester, in the Harper’s Ferry Sentinel of a recent issue, says this of Harper's Ferry: “The advantages and attractions in and around Harpe: Ferry require but to be introduced, when they is for themselves. Strange as it may appear, the magnificent, soul-inspiring an health-giving heights that club together at this pofmt, are wider known in far-off rope than here in our own country. The Lirth-place of the stroke which precipitated tne civil war is’ historically referred to by foreigners who contemplate a trip to the Urited States. Yet, with this world-wide reputation as a place of note, the old spot in story has never been brought to the at- tention of our own countrymen as it should have been long ago by those most inter- ested.

Historic Attractions. “The Heights of Bolivar, a foremost battle ground, stormed during the war, are a mile to the south, Here the original breastworks thrown up in the period of war stand as an attraction today.

John Brown's Fort, which formerly stood near the depot, will be removed at the in- stance of Kate Field from Chicago to Boli- var Heights, where two acres of land have been set apart to receive it. A park and observatory will be established in connec- tion with it. A battle monument of eight- inch shells will also be erected on Bolivar Heights. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company ha: yehased ail of thé lois included in Maryland Heights. A tip- top house with raiiway connection will be erected, The most [inportant and com- manding site in this section, Bolivar Heights, has been purchased by three Washington gentlemen, and improvements are contemplated. Miscelancous Notes. The Harper's Farry Building Association, W. Lightner, secretary, has just closed a successful sever years’ career. The asso- ciation has enabled many to purchase and erect homes who could not have done so otherwise, and has paid depositors 6 per cent interest. The Bank of Harper's Ferry has just closed the eighth month of its existence, with its stock quoted $3 per share advance. Mr. J. McGraw is president and Will S. Rau cashier. Fishing has been good in both the Shen- andoah and Potomac rivers during the summer. Capt. McDougall, U. 8. A., and Richard Sylvester have made some good captures. The summer schcol project inaugurated by Prof. Gregory, Prof. Pennock and others is under way with good classes. The Blue Ridge Rod and Gun Club pro- pose a ferry to Sandy Hook rather than Pay bridge toll.

See HE WAD A PISTOL. A Horse Trainer Brings It Across the River and Gets Six Months. Abont 6 o'clock last evening the hangers- on and toughs about the Alexander Island race track thought they were having fine sport when they witnessed a shooting af- fray between William Canty and Thomas Jackson, young colored men. None of the bullets took effect. It appeared that Canty had superseded Jackson as a trainer at one ef the stables, and this was what caused the trouble between them. When the shoot- ing was over Canty came across the bridge and brought his pistol with him. He was and when on Pennsylvania avenue he was arrested by Policeman Sutton, who took the pistol from him. When Canty appeared before Judge Mills this morning he endeavored to show that he was not a criminal, and he had an idea that he had violated no law. Unfortunately for the colored man, Judge Milis was not cf the same opinion. In disposing cf the case Suage Mills said it was a matter of some regret that there is not a place where the carriers of weapons can go and use them on each other. As there is no such place designated the judge said he could do nothing but send him to jail. A sentence of six months was imposed. WOMEN MISSIONS.

A colored baby, apparently about a year old, was abandoned yesterday in the build- ing at 501 D street northwest, formerly oc- cupied as the headquarters of the police department.

SENT DOWN AGAIN A Once Brilliant Lawyer Degraded by Drink. OTHER POLICE COURT CASES Pen Pictures of the Procession Reviewed by Judge Scott. SINNERS GET SENTENCES. Judge Scott's procession this morning Was a short one, and but little time was occupied in the march. Among the few prisoners was Col. William P. Lasselle, the lawyer, who has figured in so many court processions. The colonel has a wife, who has been faithful to him through all his many court and prison experiences. But he has sadly neglected her because of his fondness for strong drink, and has been lccked up scores of times. He has been in court several times dur- ing the past few weeks, and only a few days ago he was put under his personal bonds to keep sober for thirty days. But he did not do so, and last night he got arrested again. “He has been drunk every night this week,” said Mrs. Sheridan, a boarding- house keeper, “and he was in a horrible condition. His wife has a room in my house and last night when he came to the heuse he was very noisy.” Lasselle told the same old story of an important case he has pending in the magistrate’s court, and he said that no one else could attend to it as weil as him- self. “He has caused so much trouble about the house,” added Mrs. Sheridan boarders have threatened to leav The prisoner begged the court to give him another trial. “Let me go and try the case,” he pleaded, “and I'll return and surrender.” “You have had so many trials,” sald the judge, “that any further leniency would be useless.” The court referred to the fact that a bottle of whisky had been taken from him, end gave him thirty days in default of security. These Lived in Louse Alley. Ella Delaney, Mary Thomas and Annie Hyatt, colored women, were given a hear- ing on a charge of vagrancy. “I'm only visiting Louse alle: said one of the women. “My friend was sent to jail for sixty days, and I’m taking care of her house.” “And I live in Louse alley,” added an- other of the trio, “but I'm decent.” “How about you?” the third one was asked. “There's nothing the matter with me,” she answered. “I'm all right.” “But. you live in Louse alle; Charles Washington was near a whole- sale fruit store this morning and got in trouble because he attempted to gather seme decayed fruit from the garbage bar- rel. “And when I spoke to him,” sald a wit- e Wanted to fight.” ‘Was he profane?” Yes, sir.”” “Five dollars." Diserderly Tom and Dranken Isatiah. Tom Saunders and Priscilla Butler, a colcred couple from Anacostia, answered a charge of disorderly condu: Tcm was in the procession, but the wo- man was not locked up. “I'm guilty,” «nswered Tom, ain't,” added the woman. “All I did,” said the woman, “was to get struck by Tom.” “Were you disorderly?” ske was asked. “No, sir.” Tom said he met the woman on the street und had some words with her. “What did the woman do asked. “Nothing.” You are fined $5," the judge told the man, “and the woman ts discharged.” Isaliah Braxton, an old offender, was in the toils for drunkenness, “He makes a habit of getting drunk and lying on the sidewalk,” sa:d Police- man Gibson, and he usually manages to get near a patrol box where he can get arrested.” re “He may have 60 days on the farm.” Thomas Trinilik was given thirty days because he was found sleeping in a stable. John Douglass selected a back shed as a Place where to spend the night, and he will sleep in Mr, Stoutenburg’s hotel for ten days. n “but I he was —— The Six Little Tailors. The firm of Jacobs Bros., familiarly known as “The Six Little Tailors,” will open a tailoring establishment in this city at 941 Pennsylvania avenue, next Tues- Cay, August 20. This firm has branches at Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Pitts- burg, Cleveland, Baltimore and two in New York city. They propose, they say, to make a bid for Washington custom upon the same grounds as those upon which they have established their business in other citles, namely, supplying high-class tailoring at reasonable prices. They say they are able to seil at low prices because in supplying their nine stores they can purchase goods in large quantities, and thereby get lower figures. Horses Were Impatient. This morning alout 2 o'clock an alarm of fire was sounded from box 127 because of fire in a box of rubbish in rear of King’s Palace, where some one had probably thrown a lighted cigar. The horses be- longing to Truck C Company did not wait for the firemen to hitch them to the truck, but dashed out of the house and were sev- eral squares away before they were caught. Fortunately the fire amounted to but little and the services of the truckmen were not necessa Two Insane Canes. Sanitary Officer Frank had two insane cases on his hands today.
