Speclai Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. SEA ISLE CITY, N. J., May 22, 1806. Sea Isle City almost covers an island six miles ir length and from a quarter of a mile to one and a quarter in width. It 1s built directly on the ocean front, and has a fine board walk of sixteen feet in width and three miles in length. Its “beach 1s hard and white and has no superior on the coast, and the bathing is unexcelled. Its boating facilities are excellent. The thoroughfare separating the island from the mainland affords fine opportunities for sailing and fishing, while the inlets at either end of the island are noted fishing and hunting grounds for experts in that line. A great drawback to the place has been a lack of water accommodations. The authorities have been boring for artesian water, and recently struck a spring at a depth of 849 feet which has averaged 6,000 gallons per hour. This gives promise of furnishing the town with an ample supply. A curious phenomencn within the last few days bas been the washing ashore by the waves of thousards upon thousands of potato bugs, which lie in lires upon the sands. The summer popviation {s_ increasing each year. Cottages aie rented at a mod- erate rate and are in demard. The sum- mer girl enjoys life here, and the man or woman with tired heart and brain finds rest and strength in the rure, invigorating air from off the sea. A sudden change in the temperature makes us enjoy a fire; but whether wind or rain, snow or hail, aires always attractive here, SUBURBAN NEWS GAITHERSBURG. —— Rev. J. C.

Where One Can Go to Excape the Heat and Turmoil of Town. Here are some additional suggestions pre- sented to the readers of The Star for their considération before setting out on their summer vacation: Special rates for June are offered at the Victoria Hotel, 3d and Ocean avenue, As- bery Park. This house is located within fifty yards of the beach, and is new in all of its appointments. The hotel accommo- dates 150 guests, and special attention is paid to the cuisine. There is every arrange- ment here for making guests exceedingly ecmfortable. Spring Lake, N. J., will undoubtedly at- tract its usual number of visttors this sea- son and the friends they will recommend to come also. The Allaire Hotel, directly on the beach, will open in June, and Proprie- tor E. M. Richardson will attend to the comforts of his guests with his old-time thoroughness. Narragansett Pier, R. I. is one of the mest popular of the northern resorts. The season commences in June, and continues until Octobaz. The Arlington Hotel, of which Ernest L. Caswell is proprietor, af- fords accommodations for 100 guests. ‘The house will be managed with great care and attention to the comfort of guests. The Metatoxet House at Narragansett Pler, R. I, will open June 1, with accom- modations’ for 2) guests. This is the thirtieth season of tais hotel, and it will undoubtedly attract the usual number of v.sitors by its location and the character of the service. One of the most popular resorts on the coast of Maine is Long Beach, and a popu- lar hotel there Is the Garrison House. It is under the management of J. H. Sanborn, who will give special attention to the cui- sine. Long Beach affords good bathing. eriving, fishing and hunting. On the summit of the Alleghanies, where one sleeps under blankets every night, Is Mountain Lake Park, and there is the Mountain Lake Hotel. It will open June 15, under the management of S. H. Martin. This resort has a wide reputation, and it is expected that it will add to it during the coming season. Ten miles from Oakland and Deer Park, on the summit of the Alleghantie: Brook- side, W. Va., at an altitude of 3,100 feet. There are hotel and cottage accommoda- tions, making this an ideal resort. The grounds have a thorough sanitary system throughout; there is a large ball room, where music is furnished; there is a swim- ming pool, with bath houses for those who love the water. Other means of amuse- ment are furnished by arrangements for bowling, billiards, tennis, rides and drives. There is a livery of sixteen saddle and driving horses. The scenery of the place is attractive, as the spot is but two miles trom the great Cheat river divide. Mr. S. Prescott Wright is the manager. gta re Sewing at Home. ‘Yo the Editor of The Evening Star: I wish to write a few words regarding the article in last Saturday’s Star entitled “Sewing at Home.” When Pauline Pry questions the wisdom and economy of sew- ing at home, and ridicules the appearance of these same home-made gowns, she of- fends hundreds of bright girls and women in this city who do not consider sewing a “woe,” nor a pattern an “agony.” Any woman who has not sufficient ingenu- ity to make a nice-setting shirt waist should not attempt to learn to ride a bi- cycle, nor do any of the thousand and one things that require far more effort and per- severance than does a little practical sew- ing at home. Let me tell you of a shirt waist made by @ little school girl whose dresses barely reach her shoe tops, The material was linen and the pattern by which she cut it was not an “agony.” It was only a news- paper pattern, with no directions at all. Of course, to begin with, she was a bright girl, and the next day when she appeared in the perfect-setting shirt waist with the nicely laundered collar and cuffs, which she had also made, she felt quite elated when asked where she had bought that lovely shirt waist. What man does not love a dear Httle wife or sweetheart all the more if she has the tact and ability to construct a chic street costume or a pretty little bonnet? - What sight 1s more pleasing to him than to see his wife plying the needle deftly on some pretty filmy fabric just suited to these warm summer days, and ever and anon see her glance up with a bright smile and word for him? What man would consider shis domestic happiness marred under such circumstances? So cheap are the pretty summer goods that a girl of mederate means who makes her own gowns can appear as well as her wealthier sister who follows the motto: “Don’t do anything for yourself that you can pay anybody to do for you,” A READER. I ten Word, AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The wel- come news of Sousa’s coming may be aug- mented by the promise that his concert in this city at the Lafayette Square Opera House tomorrow night will probably be the most enjoyabl: program ever offered by the march king to his patrons here. Sousa has just completed a transconti- ental tour of 13,000 miles—that included 340 concerts—and has also had the pleas- ure of witnessing the success of his new comic opera, “El Capitan,” produced at the Tremont Theater in Bosten, and is now on his annual eastern and Canadian tour, that will bring him up to the Manhattan Beach the middie of June, where his band is the chief attraction to thousands of Fleasure-seekers at the famous New York resort. As a musician, a bandmaster and @ composer, there is no predecessor in this country .vho hzs possessed anything ap- Froaching Mr. Sousa’s ability. In three years’ time he has organized a company of artists who have, by thorough drill, and the stimulus resulting from their constant- ly increasing audiences, become a musical marvel. There is*a tonic quality in every number on his programs, and there is a clash and vigor and a splendid precision throughout the performance, which is giv- ing the best music a new power over thou- sands of people. Mr. Sousa is one of the sreat popular teachers of the day. His gay and stirring marches are the most truly national contribution that any American has made to our life in recent years, and with his musicians he is making not only his own mtsric_ but the works of the great est composers a new end stronger force the minds of the masses. ‘The Attaches’ Benefit—The attaches of the Lafayctle Square will have a benefit at that theater on Wednesday evening, June 3, and have arranged a program of un- usual excellence for the occasion.

Thi names comprise the following: Mr. Cha B. Hanford, Mrs. Kitty Thompsoy Berry than Weill, James A. Keliner and Guy V. Collins of the Linthicum Student Mary Helen Howe, Edw. Droop, Anita Cluss, Appollo Quartet, composed of H. A. Reeside, W. B. MacFarland, Perry Turpin and Burnett Ryan; Gertrude Ravenber: J. H. Nolan, Madrid Mandolin Quarte Miss Jennie Glennan, Jas. Watson, Alice Judson, Scl. Minster and Henry XNande: Master Archie Thomas, five years old, in his fancy dances; Harry Shackleford.

Mr. Kernan fs a manager of nearly thirty years’ standing, with an experience probably unequaled, and an ac- quaintance which includes the representa- tives of every walk of life. He has achieved success with road attractions as well as with theaters, and has repeatedly given evidence of executive ability, sagacity, judgment and energy which form the man- agerial make-up. Not only his frends in and out of the profession, but the patrons who have enjoyed the comforts of his model variety house, will eagerly grasp the op- portunity to pay him that homage to which his distinguished career as a manager and his admirable qualities as a man entitle im. Lyceum's Summer Season.—Manager Ker- nan has decided to close the doors of the Lyceum next week, which will enable him to thoroughly prepare for the opehing of his summer season, Tuesday evening, June 2.

The company as well as the Productions will be under the personal di- rection of Mr. John Grieves, the efficient producer and stage director. Mr. Grieves acted in a similar capacity at Manhattan Beach last summer, where his work elicited enthusiastic praise from the critics. The company will include many well-known turlesque people and a chorus of fifteen pretty girls. The vaudeville portion of the entertainment will be made a special fea- ture; only high-class acts will be presented, and these will come direct from Proctor'’s Pleasure Palace and Koster & Bial's thea- ters, New York. The comfort of Manager Kernan’s patrons will be made an objective point. The Lyceum ts equipped with a sliding roof, and this, together with a num- ber of electric fans, continually in motion, will make it the coolest place of amus: ment in the city. The summer garden ad- joining the theater is another advantage to the credit of the Lyceum. This will be adorned with magnificent palms and ex- pensive plants; a stage will be erected at the south end of the garden, upon which an excellent vaudeville performance will be given after the regular entertainment in the theater. But one admission will be charged to all, the prices ranging from 15 to 50 cents. Lecture on Palmistry.—Mra.

The proceeds are for the benefit of St. Margaret’s Chureh, which was recently erected on Connecticut ave- nue, just beyond Florida avenue. Chevy Chase.—One of the most delightful Places around WasRington in which to spend a few hours in the afternoon or to which to take children for an outing away from the hot streets of the city is Chevy Chase, reached by the Capital Traction Company's cars. The lake and the groves bordering upon it make one of the most delightfully cool spots to be found any- where around the city, and Sundays gen- erally find the accommodations of the place taxed to their utmost. Special ec- commodations are made for picnic par- ties, while music is rendered every evening by a first-class orchestra, dancing being in- dulged in by those who take the pleasant trip. Boats may be had on the lake at all times, and the music will coniiaue from 8 until 10 o'clock ‘each evening.

Columbia Musical Parlors.—The program presented to the patrons of the Columbia Phonograph Musical Parlors, 919 Pennsyl- vania avenue, the past week has been an attractive one, and has drawn large crowds nightly. Next week several new records on the graphophones will be ready, which, it is expected, will have the effect of draw- ing a large number of persons jn search of amusement. Already the closing of some of the theaters has been responsible for an increase in the crowds. Some of the rec- ords, which have proved drawing cards, in- clude “Casey at a Wake,” a comic dia- logue; recitation, by Chas. B. Hanford, en- titled “The Volunteer Organist;” “The Mor- ton Cadets’ March,” by Prof. Fanctulii, leader of the Marine Band; “The Forgot. @ comic song; “Better Than Chas. K.

It is now nearly twenty years since cel- ery was first shipped from Michigan, but it is only ten years since the business as- sumed mammoth proportions. Within a radius of four miles of Kalamazoo 3,000 acres of marsh land are adapted to this crop. Seed for the first crop is sown either in hotbeds or in greenhouses carly in March, the plants are set out in May and the crop harvested in July. A second crop is set out in June to be harvested in Au- gust, while plants for winter use are set during the last of July or the Ist of Au gust. The crops for summer use ar bleached wita either boards or paper, while that for winter use is hilled up with earth, In Kalamazoo county alone the celery ine dustry gives employment to fuily 2,008 persons, and the daily shipments in the height of the seasor aggregate between forty and fifty tons. —— Spb A Gradual Approach, From the Boston Traveler. “Papa,” said Georgie, “I'm so sorry sometimes about all the trouble I give mamma.” “She hasn't complained.” “No, she’s very patient.
