Correspondence of The Evening Star. MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, Aug. 26, 1896. What has been the most successful sea- son in every respect for Mountain Park Lake in the fourteen years of Its: existence 1s practically at an end. The weather has been delightful, the program of the Moua- tain Chautauqua was enhanced by the presence of a number of brilliant speakers, and in consequence large numbers have been here from various points east and west. Tuesday was “old soldiers’ day,” and also the closing day of the chautau- qta. Special excursion trains were run on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from quite a distance, and they, together with a nember of stages, brought about three hun- dred veterans, many of whom wore the gray: The exercises peculiar to the day took place in tne afternoon, but they were preceded by a program in the morning, which was participated in by J. Edmund V_ Ccoke of Cleveland, Ohio: Miss Veila of Lynn, Mass.; the Schumann Male Quartet of Chicago, and the Bellaire, Ohio, oand. These two latter organizations have been among the hits of the seaosn. ‘The former is composed of Messrs. S. B. Johns, Oliver W. Isensee, A. H. Hassler and C. N. Hass- ler, while the latter is under the leadership of Professor Stevens. The exercises of old soldiers’ day began by the audience singing “America,” after which Governor Lloyd Lowndes of Mary- land introduced Senator John B. Gordon of Georg'a, who delivered his famous lecture on * Last Days of the Southern Con- federacy.” « z At the conclusion of the address there was a camp fire, at which coffee, baked beans and hard tack were served. An ad- dress was to have been delivered by Juige c. C. Cole of the District Supreme Court, but he was prevented from attending by the funeral of Maj. Cranford. The day closed with a Venetian night on the lake, consisting of a pyrotechnic display, pro. cession of filuminated boats and a series of Stetreopticon slides. Miss Bertha Lucas of Washington, the violinist, has won a warm place in the hearts of the Chautauquans by her playing here this week. Monday morning the closing exercises of the kindergarten class took place in the auditorium. The kindergarten was con- ducted by Miss Susan P. Pollock of Wash- ington, and she had in her class about forty children. ‘The initial service of the Biblical Assem- bly, under the auspices of the American Society of Religious Education, Rev.

Special Correspondence of The Eventng Star. PORTLAND, Ore., August 21, 1896. The result of the November election in Oregon 1s, to say the least, problematical. Oregon is an agricultural community. Of the 313,000 peopte 1t had in 1890, 257,000 lived in the country. It is the uncertainty as to how this farming class will vote that makes the result in November a matter of speculation. ‘The republican leaders of Oregon, realiz- ing they have much to undo, are deep in a campaign of education. Every speech that has been made, every paper that has been prepared, is being dumped into headquar- ters, from which they are scattered over Oregon's 96,030 square miles. It 1s a hercu- lean task, and what the result will be none can tell, From all parts of the state re- quests for this kind of literature are re- ceived by each mail, and by each returning mail it is sent out by the bushel baskets. The opposition, hcewever, have, or at least profess to have, little fear of apostacy among their followers. They say the prin- cipies of free coinage of gold and silver are too well inculcated in the farmers of Or- gon Yor them to be turned aside by any catea-penny phrases of the emissaries of Wali and Lombard streets. Gov. Pennoyer’s Prediction. Meeting Syivester Pennoyer, who has been twice governor of Oregon and is now mayor of Portland, the other day I asked him what his view of the political situation was. Pcrtland’s maycr is a man of na- tional reputation. It was he who would not go to the state Ine to meet President Harrison; it was he who told President Cleveland to mind his own business: it was he who received the vote of Oregon's dele- gation to the last democratic national con- veniion for the vice presidency. Gov. Pen- nNoyer laughed when I asked him the chances of McKinley in Oregon. According & him the Ohio man has not a ghost of a show. “Bryan,” said he, “will have from 5,000 to 10,000 majority, and that without any effort whatever. We will conduct this campaign on the same lines on which I conducted mine for the mayoraity. That is keep as quiet as possible and let the men who will vote do the thinking. It worked well in my case, and it will in this. Yes, Bryan's majority will be nearer 10,000 than 5,000 in November.”" “What about a third ticket?” His honer laughed, and said: “Who is there to support a third ticket? The dem- ocrats of Oregon are not mugwumps nor Clevelandites. They are democrats pure and simple. How many goldbug democrats have we in Oregon? Why, you can count them on the fingers of one hand. There 1s Judge Pistine st and his honor named v continued the ex-governor, gold bugs have no standing tn Oregon, and Bryan will receive the state's electoral vote in November, and his majority will come very near being five figures.” Republicans Divided. The republicans laugh at Pennoyer, and “the whatever he says. But somehow or other the “old man,” as he is now called, has a great hold upon the unthinking masses of the state, and there is no telling what he may be able to do with them. All is not harmony tn the republican camp, and as @ consequence the best work cannot be done, There is no opposition to McKinley. Every republican in the state desires his election, and will no doubt work as best he can for that end; but the lead- ers are divided. The two factions of the party are not working in harmony, and, the result cannot be other than harmfal. They all take McKinley's election as a fi e conclu: » and each faction no doubt wants to control the federal patronage a i during the four years of Mc- inley’s administration. far as Oregon is concerned, the lead- ers of both sides are so confident ars cess in November, an@ put forward such strong arguments, thet the result to an impartial outsider is really probiematical.

REV, Many Washingtonians Enjoying Life at Snicker's Gap. Delightfal Entertainments im the Cool Atmosphere of the Mountaias, Correspondence of The Evening Star. SNICKER’S GAP, Ve., August 27, 1806. ‘The many Washingtonians who are sum- mering at Snicker’s Gap and in the vicin- ity come to the mountains to enjoy coun- try life as they find it, and, leaving the habits and customs of the city behind them, enter with zest into the pleasures that the neighborhocd affords. The mag- -nificent scenery of the region and the healthful climate of the Blue Ridge bring many people in search of rest and «ulet, but those who desire them find no lack of active amusements. Trips of exploration to the ‘Bears’ Den,” ‘Eagle Rock” and “Raven Rock,” from which there are ex- ceptionally fine views of the Shenandoah valley, are always in order, and there is dancing every evening at the hotel for those so inclined. The Blue Ridge Inn, on acocunt of its pleasant situation, has been crowded all summer, the guests belng for the mest part Washingtonians. Commis- sicner Charles F. Powell's wife and family and his sister, Miss Cornelia Powell, are among the guests at the hotel, and Maj. Powell always spends his Sundays with them. Dr. Randolph McKim spent a short time here before going to Europe, and his snoth- er and sisters and Eleanor McKim, his daughter, are still here at the hotel. Other Washingtonians. Judge Alexander Hagner also made a short stay here, and his sister, Miss Fran- ces Hagner, who came with him, has not yet returned to the city.

CG. Palmer and daughter. Among the pleasant features of life at the hotel are the Wednesday night ‘ectures by some of the Johns Hopkins men, Sunday Guests, By reason of the short distance from Washington to the Gep, there are a num- her of people who have summer homes there and who spend the Sundays in the mountains. Mr. Charles G. Smith has a pleasant house, which he calls Hohenheim, and Mr. Hitts spent a short time there r cently. Miss Grace Brouse has erected a andsome cottage near Eagle Rock, which she occupied for the first time this summer with her mother and sisters. Prof. Josef Kaspar and his children, Henry and Fan- ny, are staying at Miss Brouse’s place, and Madame Roemer Kaspar, who is now in Germany, will shortly join her husband. Rishop McCabe has also been staying there. Mr. J. A. Truesdell has a pleasant home upon the mountain and spends his Sundays with his family. On the north side of the Pike is the place which Mr. Frank G. Carpenter has purchased with the intention of building a summer home. Mr. Carpenter is at present staying down in the valley, a few miles from the Gap. A Colony of Artinti A couple of miles from Snicker’s Gap, on the Little River turnpike, are the pleasant Rosemoore cottages, which are much fre- quented by artists and art students, and a more Jolly set of people or a more delight- ful place would be hard to find. Besides Mr. Edmund Ciarence Messer and his puplls there are a number of others who have sketched the picturesque spots around Rosemoore. Mr. Carl Weller enjoyed a short stay earlier in the season, and Max Weyl, Hobart Nichols, Spencer Nichols, Clara Hill and Wilhelmina Nichols are among the artists who are now there. Mon- day night the guests at the cottages joined in a fancy dress ball, which was pro- nounced a success by every one. Consider- ing the short notice upon which the affair was arranged, and the lack of material for fancy dressing, the array of costumes was surprisingly good. On several evenings the guests enjoyed vocal selections by the well-known tenor, Mr. W. D. McFarland, who was staying there with his family, and sometimes Mrs. Hormess, who also has a good voice, join- ed him in singing. Com. Sigsbee, U. S. N., with his wife and his daughters, May and Ethel, is staying at the studio cottage, and Miss Nannie Sigsbee was there until a short time ago. Among the other Washingtonians who are guests at Rosemoore are Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Mary's Co., Md., August 24, 1896. Down here at Point Lookout, the most southern extremity of Maryland, where the Potomac river joing the Chesapeake, there have been many jolly campers this sum- mer, and it is safe to say that there are no Washingtonians having a better time than the sojourners at this picturesque spot. During all the stifling heat in the etty cool breezes frcm the bay have been blowing here, and the campers have been busy with bathing, rowing, sailing, quoits, rifle shooting, fishing, crabbing and many other delights. One of. the most contented and joiliest crowds at Point Lookout was the party comprising “‘Camp Chesapeake,” which has just finished a two weeks’ out- ing here. Their camp was situated in the pine woods, a Htile distance removed from the light house, and the ground upon which most of the other camps are pitched. The members of the camp were Mr. E. 8. Pot- ter of the Pathfinder, Mrs. Potter, Mr. 8. 8. Gardner of the treasury, Miss Wilson, assistant director of the Sargent Sanitary Gymnasium at Cambridge, Mass.; Miss Frances Potter, Miss Mary Holmes, Miss Shirley Potter, Miss Sue Gardner, Mr. Terry Sulltvan and Mrs. Sullivan, Robert Sullivan, Harry Nichols, Robert Noerr, Will Boyd of Lehigh University and C. C. Dyer. The days passed swiftly, occupied with the duties of camp life and a round of pieasures, while the evenings were spent around the big beach camp fires in social intercourse, singing and instrumental mu- Few campers at Point Lookout can boast of a more enjoyable time than the “‘Chesa- peake Club.’ They have had a hand in everything interesting going on down here, and have made a merry party, indeed. The Chesapeake Club consists of J. R. Barry, T. F. Berry, H. W. Barry, J. N. Barry, ir., F. Monroe, G. W. Downs, T. F. Downs, B. W. Downs, Alice L. Everett, J. H. Squier and W. R. Whitman and family.

The season holdson here with a remark- able tenacity, and it may in the end prove to have been the most successful and most remarkable one since the rebellien. Before that time the place was rivaled only by Long Branch and Newport, and it was a great resort for southerners. The war broke off this patronage, and Cape May has only in the past few years been re- gaining that class of patronage, until this year the south and west have furnished almost half of the summer guests.

As one approaches it from the water the foreground of the picture ts made up by | the Hotel Belleview, the dancing pavilion, the old grist mill and landing pier, all pic- turesquely framed by scores of spreading chestrut, peplar, sycamore and oak trees of ancient lineage and grateful foliage, while the keékground consists of a genily sloping hill, which rises some 200 feet above the water level, and which at the distance of a short half mile from the wharf is crowned by one of the most picturesque and altogether charming of the old brick churches of Maryland, St. Thomas, with its ectendane priests and consecrated ceme- ery. This romantic and apparently modern- looking chuzch is really one hundred years old, or ninety-eight, to be exact, while the priests’ house was built in 1741. Chapel Point takes its name from its contiguity to the church, and was in colonial times a place of some importance. It is said that the extreme point, a small peninsula -run- ning southward some 300 yards from the hotel, was at one time a cemetery, and is filled even now with remains of our un- known and forgotten ancestors. Now and again the encroaching waves, as they gather force from Lower Cedar Point, which is plainly visible ten miles below, ard Colonial Beach, almost in sight, but lower down, wash uway the pebbles, sand and clay and expose the moldering bones. The old grist mill, cobwebby and gray, sit gs its constant song as the golden wheat falls into its hopper, just as it has for scores of. years gone by, and the dusty miller adjusts his sleves or cuts his mili- stones or trudges home to his dinner, after he kas himself blown the little whistle, which peeps throygh the roof of the shed.

Many wealthy Boston people also have their summer homes in the old town, one of th> rrost noiable being Secretary of State Ol- ney, whose house can be plainly seen from the train. On the other side is the splen- aid home of James M. Becbe, who has done a great deal for the town, as did his father before him, the gifts of this family including a chureh and a library. Most of the towns hereabouts bear In- dian names, such as Oni Cataumet, Pocasset, Wenaumet and Megansett. “The Bluffs” in Megansett Be: sts of four cottages, large and roomy, ail owned by business men or women who have for- tunes in their own right. are situated on a high bluff, feet above the beach, and when the tide is high the water comes up to the foot of the bluff. Looking across over the stretch of Buzzard’s bay you can see first Scragey Neck, a point of land that stretches out into the bay with a ragged and barren — ‘one Then be from which it gets its name. revolving light gleams regulariy in darkness of the horizon. In the daytime the eye can take in @ wider range and see New Bedford, in the immediate distanc: and to the right is the town of Mario: The view is magnificent, and there is al- ways a fresh breeze blowing from the bay, giving one the tonic benefit of the sait air. A Successful Celebrati Last night there was a grand illumi tion of the Bluffs and a display of fire- works, a sort of left-over Fourth of July ration. All the cottages were elab- el ted with Chinese lanterns, the sponsor, from Texas, at the Richmond | rately decora’ if reunion; Miss Chisolm of Savannah, Miss | while the interiors were brightly illuminat- Robinson of Alexandria and Miss Frances Wilson of Norfolk. The ladies’ leap year german Friday even- ing will be the most brilliant social event of the season. It will be led by Mr. Mar- shall and Miss Nelson of Warrenton. A quiet but interesting wedding took place on Wednesday at the beautiful villa of Mrs. Percy Charrington, near Warren- ton. The couple married were Rev. Baker P. Lee of Nansemond county and Miss Lula Skinner of Danville, Va. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Randolph of the Virginia diocese, Rev. Mr. Pendleton and Rev. George W. Nelsop, the Episcopal min- ister of St. John’s Church in this place. A house party now being entertained by Mrs. Charrington and one or two intimate friends were the only guests present. Lieut. Cruixshanks, an insiructor of mathematics at West Point, is the guest of Gen. L. L. Lomax, at his summer cot- tage. The “Bullturn Club,” an aggregation of young farmers who are fond of the chase and interested in the development of half-bred horses, will hold a race meet- ing about September 15, on a private course near Warrenton. A program of eight short races is being arranged, and the prospects for excellent sport are good. Mr. Isham Keith, whose horse “Diamond” took a purse in the Warrenton Hunt Club meet, is one of the most prominent figures in this rural organization, and devotes much of nis attention to breeding stock. >— BIG INTEREST TO BE PAID.

The view from the boat house below was brilliant, and nearly all the people in the town turned out to see the display. ‘The chief movers in the affair were Misses W. P. Wiggin and W. H. Paine, and the success which attended their efforts was 80 pronounced that already the people are talking of what they will do next year when the time for celebrations shall ar- rive. I have spoken of Onset. that place last I paid a visit to week and spent a day among the spiritualists, who own the greater part of the town. In a grove they have arranged seats and here addresses are given by talking mediums at sessions in the mornirg, afterncon and at night. Some of them are eloquent in their lan- guage and forcible in their oratory, al- though you must understand that they all claim to be inspired by some one in the spirit land. The women are generally more effective speakers than the men, although they usually combine business with their talks and close by giving the number of their cottage, adding that they will be glad to give sittings to any that may desire to communicate with friends who have dted, or who may desire information upon any subject. Onset is beautifully located on the bay and has some very fine residences. It would be one o: the most attractive resorts in this part of the state if it were not han- dicapped by having the best part of the place owned by this spiritualist associa- tion. One of the announcements that were made the day I was there was that the National Association of Spiritualists would hold its annual conventicn in Washington in October At Martha’s Vineyard. A pleasant excursion is to Wood's Holl, and thence by steamer to Cottage City, on the island of Martha’s Vineyard. The bus- iness part of Cottage City stuffy and close, and it must be very hot when the mercury climbs high in the thermometer, for the streets are all paved with asphalt. But out from this section there are some fine residences, with good sea views.

The auditorium in which the services are held is a handsome frame structure, capable of seating about 2,000, and it is fre- quently more-than filled. It is lighted by electric lights, and is circular in form, so that a speaker finds no difficulty in being heard.

I was told that there were several Washingionians who were spending the summer at Cottage City, out beyond the crowded business section. The same boat that goes io Cottage City ccntipues on to Nantucket, where, as is well known, there is quite a Washingion colony. Mr. Henry A.
