Demand of the Citize: for Reforms— Varied Program for Sumemr En- ‘tertainments and Instruction. Correspondence of The Evening? Star. OCEAN GROVE, June 12, 1897. Usually the Grove is one of the earliest of the resorts on tlie entire coast to open its arms to the influx of vacationists, but the continued cold weather and rainy storms have made the city people wary about starting in on their round of tent life in the shaded streets flanking the Audi- torlum. Those that thought summer was here and took possession of their canvas homes have passed a very uncomfortable time of it during the week, for it has rained steadily since Monday morning. Yor the past two months the quiet at- mosphere of the Grove has been very much shaken by a discontented rumbling of citi- zens, who desire to seek more privileges than are now enjoyed under the limited government of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association. Since the establish- ment of Ocean Grove by the assoclation, the gentlemen comprising the organization have been in complete control of every- thing within the precincts of the Grove, and the government has practically been an absolute monarchy. Citizens who are | dissatisfied with the present state of af- fairs want all sorts of improvements. They want better streets and better lights. They also want free foot bridges and a wagon bridge across Wesley and Fletcher lakes. They want gas for lighting and fuel pur- poses, additional school facilities and many other improvements. At present entrance by wagon to Ocean Grove is obtained only through two gates, one at the foot of Main street and the other at the foot of Broadway. People may walk into the Grove around the lake from the beach and boardwalk, or may cross on the two-small foot bridges by paying a penny toll. This toll is put on for the special benefit of the summer visitors, as the bridges are free from the Ist of October until the Ist of June. The new organiza- ticn has elected a president, vice president, secretary and a board of governors, who will act for the citizens they represent, and they are taking the wise course of making no statements as to what they in- tend to accomplish. Just now they are holding weekly meetings and listening to speeches from citizens, and there is little doubt that they will accomplish for Ocean Grove many of the reforms that have been needed for years. It is understood that several members of the association are in hearty sympathy with the new movement, and results will be accomplished without any friction between the two organizations. Summer Program. An excellent program has been arranged for the summer services. Workmen are now busy cleaning up the big Auditorium, which has a seating capacity close to 10,000 persons. It was here that Walter Dam- rosch gave his three great concerts last year, filling the building to overflowing. Much delight has been expressed at the news that arrangements have been per- fected for a repetition of two of these con- certs this summer, and August 12 Mr. Damrosch will condugt a choral service known as the Children’s ‘Festival, and on August 13 the oratorjo of “Elijah” will be given. There will be a chorus of over 400 Voices, and the principals’ will be the best that can be secured in New York. The opening of the Auditorium will occur Sunday, June 27. The first meeting will be a holiness meeting, led by the Rev. J. R. Daniels, at Jane's’Ta¥ernacle at 9 a.m. At this hour the Rev, CH. Yatman, the leader of the young people's meeting, will organize the young people into classes for the summer. The opening sermon in the Auditorium, at 10:30 8. m.; will jelivered by Mr. Yatman, and! Dr. Han ganize his famous Bible class at 2 afternoon, and it will be continued at this 420-422-424-428 71il STREET. seebttnnieetetetes Ht TAND El Peete enon eee tede ded AT REDUCED PRICES!

UST now the best indication of what is to be stylish in dressy, cool gowns for summer comes in the costumes of those fasbionabie women who have already deserted thelr city homes for the seashore and mountains. The predominance of ready-made costumes is noticeable in the splendid array of frocks provided for these dames of fashion, Any of the dainty crash linen, duck, pique or denim sults shown at Wm. H. Mc- Knew's, 1G3 Ta, ave., though so inexpensive, are quite smart enongh for the dressiest occasions of summer. I should advise any woman, whether she intends to remain in the city for the summer or go to theSeashore or moun- tains, to visit this emporium and make up her sum- mer wardrobe from the ready-to-wear creations there displayed. I feel confident that she will not only save much worry and trouble, but considerable expense, by so doing. From $3.50 to $9 McKnew offers as charming an array of crash linen suits as any woman would be proud to possess. ‘The “Eton” and “Blazer” jackets are the most prevalent styles shown. They come in both plain and trimmed effects. Lovely creations, appliqued in self, red, blue and green denim and handsomely braid trimmed, and are certainly very reasonable at ¥ But one need not confine herself to Crash Linen wits. Beautiful Blue Denims, Brown and Blue Novelty Duck Suits, White Pique Suits and Hand- some Black Duck Suits, with revers and cuffs and vest dotted with white polka spots, offer a varicty in whch the most fastidious cannot fail to find a pleasing and proper gown. Linen Separate Skirts can be had at $2 and up. Waite Duck Skirts at $2, and Black and Navy Duck Skirts at $1.75 and $2, which is actual, the cost of materials by the yard at goods stores. McKnew’s creations are stylishly and handsomely built by the best makers of ready-made clothes in America. Their garments have a set and finish to them which no ordinary dressmaker can give, and I should rather trust their qualities at their prices than those of any other store in this vicinity. Inexpensive Cloth Suits. While examining the Summer Suits displayed at McKnew’s I was much impressed by the re- markably low figures prevailing for tailor-made cloth Suits, which are so nice for wear of cool even- ings in the city and at mountain resorts.

John Potts of Toronto. Beginning with the first Sunday in July there will be surf meetings on the beach every Sunday afternoon, when the weather permits, and twilight meetings during the camp meeting season. ‘The tremendous wash-out that occurred two years ago was evidently a valuable lesson to Ocean Grove, although it looked like a great loss at the tims. In order to preserve a great portion of the main drive and the board wa'k the association was compelled to build a line of jetties along the beach front, and during the past win- ter the jetties have served to bring back the theusands of tons of sand that were washed away two years ago. The beach r than it ever was, there is every indication that the ing grounds will be as good as they two years ago. At the lower end of Ocean Grove, near the foot of Wesley lake, the Ross estate has erected an en- tirely new pavilion and have also. built an immense sait water pool, which is one of the finest and largest on the coast. The first bathers took their initial plunge in it yesterday. is now brcader and la and bi A SUCCESS. Langdon M. E. Church Sabbath School ebrates Children’s Day. The observance of Children’s day in the Langdon M. E. Church yesterday was suc- cessful beyond the expectations of those who arranged the program. Every service was attended by a large congregation, but in the evening the crowd was so great that even the pulpit steps and altar were filled with the children. In the morning the pastor, Rev. T. J. Clark, delivered an appropriate sermon to the children, and at the evening's exercises the Sunday school had sole charge, under the superintendence of Mr. Henry New- man. Mr, O. V. Shomo was musical di- rector, Mr. E, A. M. Lawson, cornetst; Mr. A. Smoot, violinist, and Miss Maggie Anderson, organist. The performances of the children, who were trained by Mrs. I. J. Baker and Mrs. George Knupfer, reflected credit on those ladies. The program was as follows: Mu- sic, ‘Behold the Fields Are White,” by the choir; prayer, the primary department; recitation, “Ged Will Know,” Miss Zula Edwards; song, “The Children's Prayer,” primary department; recitation, “The Seed is the Word,” Miss Bessie Haskell; “There is Sunshine in My _ Soul, tl school, recitation, “God’s Thoughts To- werd Us,” Miss Irma Paxton; music, “Oh, to Be Like Him,” the choir; recitation, ‘Beautiful Rain,” Master Pelham Walton; “Motion Song,” the Misses Ethel M.

The Poisoning of Dumb Animals Calls for Investigation. The indignation which has existed in the northeastern suburbs for several weeks over the wholesale poisoning_of pet ani- mais in the hamlets of Langdon, Winthrop Heights, Ivy City, Montello and on the Bladensburg road has given place to alarm for fear the operations of those who have been doing this murderous work are about to take a wider scope. This alarm was occasioned by the death yesterday morning, very suddenly, of a valuable Alderney cow. belonging to Mr. B. A. Berry of Winthrop Heights. An in- vestigation of the cause of the,death was made during the day, and it was ascertained to be poison. The animal was one of the best cows owned by Mr. Berry. The loss is severely felt by him, as he has been out of work for a long time, and the income re- ceived from the cow's product was quite considerable. . Meanwhile the poisoning of the d and chickens in the neighborhood continues, and efforts made to discover the perpe- trators have so far proved to be unavail- ing. One prominent resident of Ivy City has lost five dogs, all his chickens and a cat, which was highly prized by his family, and almost every person owning a dog in any of the hamlets named has either his or her animal killed by poison or has been compelled to send it out of the neigh- borhood as a means of saving it. Arrangements are being made by some of the best-known residents of the north- eastern section of the district for the hold- ing of a meeting for the purpose of de- sosdonfontoatoasoetresontonfosSoateagonteasreteesenteatoateateaontoasrapmeseesrasreteeseatee sesso asoasoaroaseasoesmesengeesenseesetbafoaseasoesoegenfoagoataseseeseeeege DURABILITY, STYLE AND FIT.
