ON JERSEY’S: SHORES Notes From Along’the Atlantio SIGNS OF A PROSPEROUS SEASON Washington Peopte Who Are at the Seaside. a GAYETIES ON THE STRAND Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTIC CITY, September 4, 1807. "The general business depression through- out the country has made itself felt here to a slight degree, and while the summer season has not yet closed and the final ac- counts have not been reckoned up, It is safe to say that after all the hustle and bustle is ended this season will be found to have been cne of the most prosperous through which this resort has ever passed. Announcements cf new hotels and im- provements to hotel property are being made every day. George W. Jackson, who owns consider- able proeerty at the foot of Virginia ave- nue, contemplates bullding a new ocean Pier at that point. The structure is ex- pected to cost about $50,000. Count A.

Last Sunday 9,500 seats in the great Au- ditorium were not suffictent to accommo-. date the throngs of worshipers, and at the concluding exercises on Tuesday the build- ing’s capacity was again taxed. The most interesting feature of the final services was the “walk around Jerusalem.” Jerusalem in this case is the Auditorium, and it is a prized custom of the campers just before they bid adieu to the season’s camp to march triumphantly around it three times. This year’s procession was headed by Bishop James N. Fitzgerald and the officers of the camp meeting associa- ticn, and was composed of about 6,000 happy folk. As they thrice encircled the building they sang with marked emotion, “In ‘the Sweet By and By,” and “We're Marching to Zion,” accompanying the chorus, which resounded through the worldly recesses of Asbury Park, with gesticulations of joy and waving of hand- kerchiefs. A wave of loud “hallelujahs” and “amens” passed over the multitude as it returned to its seats. Hundreds of non-campers, curious sightseers from up and down the coast, were there to see the “annual walk-around.” ‘This year’s camp is believed to have been the most successful of any of the twenty- nine that have been held here. Rev. J. Reeves Daniels, D.D., one of the leaders, ard a prominent candidate for Dr. Stokes’ vacant place in the presidency, says of it: “No more glorious one has ever been known in cld Ocean Grove.” The exact number of conversions, of course, cannot be ascertained, but it is known that at least 1,000 souls were greatly blessed by the meeting.

With the exception of the Holiywood and Elberon Hotels, the.season will practically come to an end here Tuesday, when the West End Hotel and cottages will be closed. At Elberon the hotel will remain open until the first of October and there will be no scarcity of guests before then. : Proprietor Jordan tendered a pretty gar- den party to the cottagers and hotel guests Wednesday night.

Correspoacence of The Evenlag Star. ASBURY PARK, N. J., September 4, 1897. The opening days of September have seen the closing of but one of Asbury Park's hotels, the Coleman House. The majority of the hotels will remain open until Oc- tober. A boom will be made in the September business on the ‘Ith, when the national Evangelical Lutheran synod will arrive to hold daily sessions at the Beach Auditorium fer one week. Mr. S. R.

J., September 4, 1897. eByond the departure of a few families from the hotels, the early September days have effected no changes at this resort. Indeed, the past week has been one cf the liveliest of the entire summer. The events included a series of boat races on the lake, bicycle races and a handsome display of fireworks in conjunction with a carnival. Bowling and shuffle board, with occasional games of tennis, still engage the attention of the guests of the Monmouth House, and the gold medal fer the lady who has made the highest score at bowling during the season will be awarded next week. ‘The bathing remains excellent and the water Is at a better temperature than it has been at any time during the season. = AVON. Correspordence of The Evening Star. AVON-BY-THE-SEA, N. J., Sept. 3, 1897. Guests at the Buckingham enjoyed a bi- cycle run to the deserted village of Allaire tiis week, under the’ leadership of Mr. J. T. MacDowell. Luncheon was served at the inn, and the trip was voted one of the jolliest of the season. A masquerade ball engaged the attention of the guests of the Oxford Tuesday night. Wednesday evening the young people of the hotel gave a clambake on the beach. A dezen guests’ of the Buckingham en- joyed a trolley ride to Pleasure bay Tues- day afternoon. —_ COL. FITZGERALD IN LUCK. He is Said to Have Strack It Rich at Salt Lake City. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Terra Alta, W. Va., says: Col. Nat Ward Fitzgerald, the populist candidate for governor of West Virginia last fall, who, a few months ago, sold his farm at Terra Alta, W. Va., and moved with his family to Salt Lake City, Utah, has amassed wealth rapidly at the latter place, and is now estimated to be worth a mil- lion dollars. His office is one of the most frequented of all the Salt Lake law and patent offices, and the gold mining com- panies with which he is connected ure amassing a big fortune. His family is very prominent in Salt Lake society. Col. Fitz- gerald was formerly a pension and patent attorney at Washington, D. C. Later he acquired notoriety by running a “bloomer” restaurant in New York, the waiters be- ing young ladies attired in bloomers. MR. GOMPERS. President of A. F. of L. Criticised for Some Recent Remarks. The United Labor League of Western Pennsylvania, at a largely attended and ex- citing meeting at Pittsburg last night, gave expression to an open revolt against Samuel Gompers, President of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, and many reflec- tions and ugly charges are made. It was all on account of expressions made by Gompers in reference to the recent con- vention of labor leaders at St. Lou's. He is credited with making unkind remarks about the gathering, and casting reflections on those who were foremost in the meet- ing. Gompers had a few defenders in the meeting, and xt one time there were re- marks concerning semebody being thrown out of the window. During the discussion on a proposition to take some action on the St. Louis plat- form, M. P. Carrick, president of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators, referred to Gompers as a “plug-hatted, greasy tool of capital.” He said, among other things: “President Gompers, through interviews and otherwise, has proven himself no true friend to labor. Gompers has said that Debs and Sovereign are trying to disrupt trades unions. It is he that is doing his utmost to accomplish this. I want to say that it was not tze trades unions that came to the assistance of the miners in their great fight, but the great mass of organized labor and citizens who have no interest in organizations. Business men, politicians, sewing girls, several shop workers, and people from all crafts came to the relief of the miners, and their cause would have been utterly lost had it depended on trades unions and such men as Gompers. “It is time to call a halt on labor fakirs, who sit in their office and thank God that they are not like the poor working men of the country. Gompers is a disgrace to labor, and I believe it is high time to call down the would-be aristocrats of labor and kick them bodily out of the movement.” When President Carrick finished he was greeted with round after round of applause. The following resolution, offered by John Dykus, representative of the typographical union, was adopted: Resolved, That the United Labor League of Western Pennsylvania disapprove of the utterances of Mr. Gompers, for the reason that they are liberal enough to believe that the great battle for the emancipation of labor cavinot be won by trades unions alone. It was decided to send a delegate to the Chicago convention, to be held September 27, and every delegate present was ihstruct- ed to urge his local union to do the same. —_-e-____ To Atlanta for Burial. The remains of John B. Baird, late chief clerk in the office of the superintendent of construction of the new city post office building, who was drowned in the canal above Cabin John on Thursday, were con- veyed to Atlanta last night over the South- ern railway. —_—— ph oe ere m ome In Saturday, hes ret to his parents. bs ded found near Glen Echo Saturday It matters little what {t is that you want qrwhether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need, The Busy Corner, 8th and Market Space.

Silver Leader Discusses the Latest Phase of the Situation. In a long letter in the New York World of yesterday W. J. Bryan undertakes to explain the effect of the recent rise in wheat and fall in silver on the prospects of the democratic party, of which he is the acknowledged leader. He starts out by saying: “The rise in wheat will aid rather than injure the cause of bimetallism. While 4 few people may be inclined to give an ad- ministration credit or blame, as the case may be, for everything that happens dur- ing its existence, every intelligent person reasons from cause to effect. “Wheat has risen because the foreign crop has been exceedingly short. Bimetal- lists contend that the law of supply and demand is universal. They apply it not only to money, but to bullion, both gold and silver, to wheat and to every other article of value. They contend that the exchangeable value of both money and merchandise will be affected by anything which affects either the demand or the supply. “The American wheat grower is just now profiting by the almost unprecedented dis- aster which has overtaken the wheat grow: ers of India, Europe and South America. He then takes up the question of wages, which, he maintains, should rise with the price of wheat, and adds: “As soon as the employes ask for their share of the promised prosperity the large employers will be compelled to raise wages or cease boasting that prosperity has re- turned: “If the republicans desire $e ae tae it for the high price of wheat, they must as- sume responsibility for the famine in India. Will any republican convention ‘point with the famine as an evidence that g Pick i enough to credit the rise to the new law, to the gold standard or to reste confidence,” the spell will be broken when wheat returns to the level of the last fow The di: then be Ts which attention to the price of ing up for themselves are today calling wheat are simply additional trouble. —_—e-—- | CARE OF THE YOSEMITE. i Less Trespassing Tha: Reported. The afinual report of Capt. Rodgers of the 4th Cavalry, who is acting as superin- tendent’ of the Yosemite National Park, States that the regular patrols have found that there is less trespassing in the park than in past years, and says the depreda- tions committed by sheep and their herders are the worst they have to contend with. The game seems to be increasing in num- bers, and the deer and other animals show less fear of human beings than in past years. The rigid enforcement of the rule against carrying firearms in the park h: iced good results. Forest fires were numerous during the year and the Big Tree Grove at Merced had a narrow ecape from one of them. He recommends that the government purcha all the roads in the park and all the la: owned by individuals within the rk boundaries. “F ——- e+ Armor Board to Meet. Several members of the armor board have returned to this city and a meeting of the full board has been called at the Navy Department for tomorrow. It will be de- cided whether the material in hand will be sufficient for the board to begin the draw- ing of plans for a government armor plant or whether investigations are nec- essary. ————-o-______ Mt.
