WAS ONCE A POPULAR SUMMER RESORT But Those Who Have Known It Will Know It No More. SUBMERGED BY THE WAVES ——— Written for The Eveping Star. OME TIME BE- Se lived on the eastern shore of Vir- ginia an old man immigrated from Marblehead, Mass., and who gained a oystering. It was a hard life, full of ex- erticn and peril, and ly irksome from the fact that the ‘ish and oyster banks lay a leng way out in the broadwater. and after much cogitation he grasped the idea that if he could find a good solid piece of land near the source of supplies it would eres open, he came across a small sand- bank 4 few acres in extent, about sixteen that evidently n of nature. ‘his solid spot was already occupied by a lone fisherman, who spent the spring cnd summer in catching soon struck between the two, and for and In consideration of #20 and a sack of salt the fisherman transferred all of his rights congratulating himself that he had got rid of a doubtful piece of property, inasmuch as it was likeiy to be swallowed up by the ny an unlucky y of his death that his foresight was not to his hindsight, for he lived to see offer of $100,000 for the realty.

In 1879 a tidal wave swept over the island, dging much damage. There have been :nany high tides since, but the waves never broke over the high grounds. In 8) the water began to en- croach upon the beach, and every northeast wind caused a heavy surf, which steadily gnd surely sore away the sandy barrens. At that time Cobb's Island consisted of some fifty acres of solid ground, and abou: seven thousand of marsh and sea meadow, which extended about ten miles. The ho- tel, originally built directly on the sea- shore, was set back fully five hundred yards from the beach. Encroaching Waves. For six years the untiring waves gath- ered in the sand, until in the summer of 1896 Lne nigh tide reached within fifty feet of the hotel, and many of the guests pre- dicted that Cobb's Island was celebrating its last season. ‘The sun set on the evening of October 4, 1896, in a blaze of golden splendor. ‘The the life-saving crew, whose statlon was on the highest point of land, saw tne Fabris slowly sink and fall in the common ruilt.

He Hns the Greatest Responsibility im the Matter of Keeping Time. From the New York Tribune. ~ “I suppose few of the people who listen to the music of an orchestra,” sald a mu- siclan recently, “have any appreciation of the difficulty encountered in getting so many instruments to start precisely at the same instant. And do you know which player has the most critical position of all in that respect? Why, the man at the ket- tle drum. I always regard him with the greatest admiration, and my wonder is just as great each time that I see it at the nicety with which he calculates his move- ments. “You see, all the other players can be in a condttion of absolute readiness while waiting for the signal from the conductor. The violins, the ‘cellists and the others at the stringed instruments have their bows in place, ready to be drawn at the raising of the baton. The mouthpiece of every wind instrument, brass and wood, Is at the lips of its player, who has but to breathe when the signal is given. Only the man at the drum is at a disadvantage. It will not do for him to keep his hand raised with the stick poised in the air, at the height from which he is to strike. If he did this the sound of the beat would be heard at such | an appreciable interval after the notes of the other instruments that it would en- trely fail to accord with them, and the ef- fect would be absurd. So the only thing for the drummer to do is to anticipate the motion of the baton, beginning to strike just a shade before the signal.

Seals and Sand Storms. From the San Francisco Examiner, You say the sealers on Pribyloff Islands catch the females when they go out to sea to feed. That is not so, as they never go out to feed. As for the pups dying on Tol- stoi rookeries from the loss of their moth- ers being killed at sea, that is not so; they are killed by sandstorms. Tolstoi is the on- ly rookery that is affected by sandstorms, and oniy one part of il, and at this particu- lar part is the only vlace where dead pups are found. It would be something to the credit of the company if they would build a board fence, like a snow fence on the plains, for about ; £00 yards on Tolstoi rookery. It would save the lives of thousands of pups.

THE REIGNING FAMILY Iven Stoyanoviteh, the postmaster gen- eral of Bulgaria, is one of the most ob- servant and appreciative of the delegates to the universal postal congress now hold- ing its sessions in Washington. He is keenly alive to the importance of the gath- Prince of Bulgarian. ering to all the countries, great or small, represented by it, because he appreciates the benefits which follow the establishment of closer communication between them. He is particularly proud of the strides lis own country has taken in the path of pregr which are shown in a striking fegree by the advancement in the means and methods of modern communication re- corded in Bulgaria. Postmaster General Stoyanovitch grows enthusiastic when he descrites how much of this is due to Prince Ferdinand, the young rulec of Bulgaria. He gave emphatic illustration of this while conversing with a reporter of The Evening Star one evening recentty. “Prince Fercinand,” he said, impressive- ly, “has done more than any former ruler to build up and strengthen the cause of Bulgaria ana develop its resources and its people. He is a keen judge of character, und seems to judge men’s qualities intui- tively. He has preven himself to be a great scldier, and has improved the morale of the army to such an extent that it would be ready at a moment to defend the liberties and institutions of the state were they threatened, and to fulfi] the destiny of the naticn.
