During the first of the Week the audi- torium was visited by crowds of p2ople from this and the near-by resorts, who came to see the gorgeous decorations which were arranged for young people's floral d: services lust Sunday. No exp2nse spared to make the immense assembly hall into a tropical flower garden. Along the front ef the gallery, which has a length of nearly 600 feet, were thousands of red and white gladolias. The big pipe organ was imebdded in red and white carnations and on either side of it were immense banks of palms, which rose forty f2et high. Above the gallery were draped the American and English s. In front of the platform stood an immense vase of Egyptian lotus, which was presented by A. H. DeHaven, esq., of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. The entire chor- us wore flowers and flower girls partici- pated in the singing.

Much Interest is being manifested tn the organization of the big choruses which ar3 to sing at the musical festival. Prof. Tallie Morgan some time ago Issued a call for a thousand children to participate in the chil- dren's festival on August 11. About 500 have responded, and they are being drilled three times a week by him. The local cho: ich is to assist the New York Ora- io Society in rendering “‘The Messiah,” now numbers 350. Fishing “as been exceptionally fine this week on the pier. The gasterly storms have been accompanied by heavy runs of biue fish, weak fish, floundsrs and bass, and the patient anglers who sit on the pier all day ani all night, too, have been well rewarded. There fs a warm rivalry between the fishermen on the Oceam Grove and Asbury Park piers. Prizes are offered for the biggest catch2s, and the championship alternates between the two resorts. Asbury Park holds it just at present, but the campers hope to win it back before 12 o'clock tonight. The National Temp2rance Society is now holding forth en the camp grounds.

The season at this famous religious re- sort is now fast approaching its climax— the annual camp meeting. This series of services begins about the middle of Au- gust, after which there are no secular meetings or entertainments of any kind allowed on the grounds. Bisnop Fitzgerald has arrang-d for a brilliant array of preachers and exhorters, and Prof. Tallie Morgan of New York, the new director of music, will have some special attractions in his line. The old-time “campers” have be- gun to arriv? and the increase of the amount of shouting at the meetings is now most perceptible.

J., July 28, 1898. The tournament which the Spring Lake Golf Club has started with other teams from the watering places along this coast is arousing a good deal of interest among the summerites here. The club has effected an organization by electing the following officers: President, Mr. Harrison Towns- end of Philadelphia; vice president, Mr. L. E. Wells; secretary and treasurer, J. H. Buchanoa. These gentlemen, together with six other members to be appointed by the president, will serve as the boerd of gov- ernors. The club will be organized under | the laws of the state of New Jersey, and membership in it {s open to any resident of any of the watering places on this coast. A large progressive euchre party took place at the Mcnmouth House on Monday evening. The lst of winners were as foi- lows: First prize, a chafing dish, Miss Gwynne; second, a floral vase, Miss Anna Cochran; third, a linen box, Miss H. Bruno; fourth, lady's collar and cuff box, Mrs. A. L. Fanning. The booby prizes, which were jacks in box, fell to Mrs. Drescher and Miss Elias. These ladies are all of New York. The children stopping at the Monmouth House and also a number from the cottage colony, about fifty in all, were given an outing the first of the week by Mrs. A. L. Ashman of New York, who was assisted by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Fanning, Dr. and Mrs. B. P. Craig of Jersey City, Dr. Dev- ereux, Miss Elias, Miss Cochran, Mrs. Elias and Mrs. Oakley.The gay party went in carlages over to Allaire, the deserted vil- lage, where lunch was eaten at the French cafe. Before returning, Mrs. Ashman con- ducted a musical program to the delight of the little ones. Mrs. Dora Anibros arrived at the Mon- trouth House from Washington a week ago. She expects to remain in Spring Lake the most of August. Among the guests of the Hotel Carlton are Mrs. H. M. Wadsworth and Miss Wads- worth of Washington. The Essex and Sussex is entertaining Miss Caroline Childs of Washington. Mrs. A. R. Stetson is a capital city guest for the season at the big Monmouth. The Cheerful Presence.

A Flag Raising Will Occur Tomor- row Afternoon—Incendiary Fires. Special Dispatch to The Eventag Star. CUMBERLAND, Mad., July 30.—On last Saturday, John Bolling, aged twenty- four, a negro miner, and Martha Crav- en, aged eighteen, white, were married here. The woman is of highly respectable parents, living near Connellsville. Bolling is quite black. The latter had been waiting on the girl for a year, and last Saturday they eloped. The Pennsylyania authorities tried to head them off, but were unsuccess- ful. Bolling’s bride claims that her parents were unkind to her, and says that she sought marriage as the means of bettering her condition. The match has created a sensation, This evening a flag 22 by 45 feet will be raised on a ninety-eight-foot pole by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad employes in the new yards in South Cumberland. A miniature battle ship, four and one-half feet long, the Oregon, presented by Mayor Nickel of Frostburg, will surmount the pole, serving as a weather vane. Senator Wellington, Governor Lowndes, Col. George A. Plane, Gen. Joseph Sprigg and Receiv- ers John K, Cowen and Oscar G. Murray will be the speakers. Capt. J. Philip Roman of Company C, Ist Regiment, United States Volunteers, which was recruited from Cumberland, will peti- tion Col. Lane for the transfer of the com- pany from the 2d to the ist Battalion, in order that the men may serve under their former captain, Maj. Charles T. Lowndes, son of Governor Lowndes. A newly formed company of Baltimore crpitalists, said to be headed by Maj. Alex- ander Shaw, has purchased twenty-five acres of big vein coal at Lonaconing and will open a mine at once, employing at the start fifty men. The company will later lease an adjoining tract of fifty-five or six- ty acres. The land is leased from the Con- solidation Coal Company. The American Coal Company will at once build ten double houses at Lonaconing. The attempt-of two carpenters of Barton, this county, Thursday, by the use of fire, to get rid of a yellow jackets’ nest, so they eculd reshingle the large dwelling house of John Noon, resuited in the burning of the house. Fire of incendiary origin early Thursday morning at Grantsville, Garrett county, de- stroyed the store and warehouse of Bender Brothers, Bowser’s vacant store room and the dwellings of J. O. Getty and Jacob J. Bender, causing $10,000 loss. Bender Bros.’ stere was slightly insured. LB. F. Pepper, aged seventy-eight years, of near San Antonio, Texas,- who, thirty- two years ago, left Romney, W. Va., where he was born, passed through Cumberland en route to his native place on a visit. He is a wealthy stock raiser, owning 5,000 acres of land. A Sunday school song contest took place Thursday at the Methodist camp at Alle- gany Grove between the Center Street School of Cumberland, led by Mr. George T. Cecil, and the Eckhart School, directed by Samuel Fleming. The latter won and was awarded a handsome silk banner. a HUMAN VOICE IN WAR. It is Now Aided by the Use of Bugles and Whist'es. From the Hartford Courant. ‘With the modern rapid-firing guns there's Hittle firing by men in mass, except when the company “rallies” to repel an attack. Then a circle or semi-circle is formed around the officers and the bullets are sent in every direction fast as they can travel. In the “extended order” on the skirmish line, it is possible for a man to “hear himself think,” but with a line ex- tending rods away to the right and left and with a strong wind blowing, to say nothing of the musketry, the officer's voice cannot be equal to the ¢ ncy. Bo he resorts to signals—visual, with his sword, when smoke and landscape will allow; otherwise with the bugle, or with a hoarse whistle in the hilt of his sword. Properly erilled soldiers of 1898 readily interpret the signals. Those with the sword are simple: those by bugle or whistle are combinations of long and short blasts, as for exampie, one long one, “Halt!” Two long ores, “Forward!” Two short ones and one long one, “To the rear!” Two jong ones and two short ones, .““Commence firing!” One long one and two short ones, “Cease fir- ing!” The non-commissioned officers along the line, hearing these signals, repeat the commands to the men. Aboard ship there also is great economy of vocal power. If-the steel sides of the vessel are not being pounded by shot’ and shell, the officers can make themselves heard between shots, but their words are few. As for the men, the experience of an observer aboard one of our vessels at the destruction of Cervera’s flezt is to the point, He said he expected to hear the men rush to quarters witn a yell and then cheer as they saw the enemy’s discomfiture. Gn the contrary, the only sound was the boom of the guns, the men going on with their work like silent machines. Yet the human voice has its value. Who shall say that it is any Jess than those from metal throats? It comes when there's a lull in the firing, when bayonets are fixed, when men nerve themselves and start for- ward at a run over the short but shot- swept space between them and the enemy. Then the voice will make itself heard—no rules or regulations ever could prevent it if they. tried. Seemingly, it is the shout that carries the men onward, upward, over the breastworks. We heard considerable about the differ- entiation between the southern cry and the northern cheer during the civil war. The former was a high-keyed, plarcing yell, the latter a deeper-chested “Hurrah,” leav- ing out of the word all but the vowel sound. How do‘ they sound now, blended? America’s foemen will never stop to tell. And Emperor William is introducing the “Hurrah” in Germany as a substitute for the old-time, choky, “‘Hoch.” The way he is doing it {s by giving the triple “Hurrah” on concluding toasts and solemn speeches. Then the cheer g2ts recognition in court circles and finally is adopted by the army. The emperor knows a good thing when he hears it, and America and England—which country also has the “‘Hurrah”—can afford to let him have this without diplomatic in- quiry. But may he and his armizs never be called upon to hearit roll up against the stars and stripes im battle. ee In a Chicago Sieater’s Den, From Scribner's. xt As we neared the door there was the usual sound of the'clattsring rush of sew- ing machines going at high speed—starting and stopping abruptly,.at uneven intervals, and giving you the impression, in the mean- time, of racing furlously with one another. The opened docr revealed ths customary sight of a room perbaps twenty feet square, with daylight entering faintly through two unwashed windows; which looked out upon the level of the strést. "Phe dampness show- ed itself in dew-lfke beads along the walle and on the ceiling, which I could easily reach as I stood erect. In spite of its being winter, th2 dingy walls were dotted with black files, which swarmed most about a cooking stove, over which, stirring a steam- ing pot, stood a disheveled woman, who looked as though ehe could never have Krown any but extreme old age. In the r2- maining floor space were crowded a dozen machines or more, over which, in the thick, unventilated atmosphere, were ths bending figures of the workers. Oil lamps lit up the inner recesses of the room amd seemed to Jend consistency to th? heavy air. From an eye here and there, which caught his in a single moment, the unionist received. a look of recognition, but not a head was turned to see who had entered, and the whir of feverish work went on, unchecked for an instant by our coming. asedias Sie pen Reaeeeeaee It matters little what it is that you want— whether a situation ox a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star Will reach the person who can fill your need, 5 IN TENT AND FIELD Work of Y. M. 0, A. Among Uncle Sam's Defenders. COMMISSION OF THE ARMY AND NAVE Total of Fifty Tents Maintained in Home Camps. CUBA AND PHILIPPINES The Young Men's Christian Association has made a statement of its religious work among the soldiers of the United States, that those interested may appreciate the extent and value of the work of the associ- ation’s labors and methods. The strength of the work. lies in its practical adaptability to the needs of the soldiers. As soon as war was declared, and before troops began to mobilize, it is declared. this organization began to take steps for Chris- tian work in the camps and on the field. The international committee of the associ- ation took matters into consideration and appointed a representative committee and called it the army and navy Christian com- mission, Before the men were appointed each was consulted and every one of them enthusiastically expressed a willingness to serve on the committee and support the work. As it now stands, the committee is composed of the following well-known men: John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State; Col. J. J. McCook, William E. Dodge, Morris K. Jessup, ex-Governor Beaver of Pennsy!va- nia, Dwight L. Moody, who is in charge of the evangelistic work; Chas. W. McAlpin, N, W. Harris and Joshua Levering, late the prohibition candidate for the presidency. Namber of Tents Maintained. Secretaries W. B. Millar and John F. Moore of the international committee were selected to look after the details of the work, and they now have more than fifty fully equipped and manned association tents, some of which are at Tampa, Key West, Mobile, Chickamauga, Falls Church, Dunn Loring and other places of encamp- ment not so large. Outfits have also been sent to Manila, Santiago and Porto Rico. Where regimental lines are maintained tents are provided for each regiment, but where it can be done one large tent is so erected that it can be used by two or more regiments. ach tent is furnished to look as much as possible like a lyceum or an ideal asso- ciation room. There are comfortable chairs in great number, tables for reading and writing, books, papers, magazines and games in great varieties Either an organ or a piano, both of which seem to be highly appreciated by the boys who are musically inclined, has been placed in each tent. Sta- tionery in large quantities Is furnished free, as well as are pens, ink, pencils and similar supplies. Stamps are on sale all the time and a mail delivery is maintained in some cases, Express packages are received and carried to the nearest stations, to be for- warded, and, in fact, every possible con- venience is furnished that can be offered to the boys who are so far from home, ana who at the best suffer many hardships. Work at Camp Alger. In Camp Alger there are about 21,000 sol- diers, and 16,000 of these have access to some one of the fourteen association tents in operation there. To conduct this work forty-three men, most of whom have had experience in association work, have been employed. There are three evangelists glv- ing their entire time in conducting special meetings, besides one leader of music, anu one man who gives his entire time to visit- ing the hospitals and doing personal work among the men who are sick. It is said the soldiers have shown taem- selves willing and ready to respond to the appeals the have been made to them, and personal workers have been more ‘than pleased with the results of the efforts they have made. The following figures, furnished by the association, will give some idea of the work done at Camp Alger: The total attendance for twenty-eight days in June, 184,786; let- ters written, 96,069; letter sheets supplied soldiers free, over 200,000; envelopes, 96,069; attendance in gospel meetings, 23,462; num_ ber of inquirers, 672; personally dealt with, 789; professed conversions, about 1,000; ses- sions of Bible classes, 40; attendance at Bible classes 88; number of entertain- ments, 15; number in attendance, 6,756. Provides Entertainment. Besides the religious meetings, the asso- ciation has endeavored to have one enter- tainment every week in each of the tents. As far as possible the talent is secured from among the soldiers. Many entertain- ments have been furnished by people of reputation from all parts of the country, and Washington itself has contributed some of its best talent. « The statement is made that “wagon loads of magizines and other literature, collect- ed and prepared mostly by the Christian Endeavor Union of this city, have been distributed through the association to the thousands who are anxious to get most anything to read.” ‘The chaplains in every regiment where a tent has been erected have shown the heartiest interest in the work. in some tents ¥Y. M. C. A. organizations have been effected, and officers chosen by the men from among themselves. Quite a number of Sunday schools, Christian Endeavor So- cieties and the like have been organized. Appeal for Aid. To carry on so great a work as this re- quires the expenditure of a vast amount of money, and the commission, it is said, finds itself facing the necessity of retarding its work at Camp Alger, unless the support is more generous than it has been in the past. The Washington association has expended a@ great deal of the time of its officers, and has assigned its general secretary, Mr. W. N. Multer, to Camp Alger for the summer. He had been given the general supervision of the work there by the international com- mittee. While the members of the association, who have been in close touch with the movement, have contributed liberally, they will be unable to bear the expense of the work now carried on at the camp. For this reason the people of Washington and the churches are invited to investigate the work, and decide whether it shall be con- tinued with the present equipment, or whether it shall be curtailed. a HAMILTON FISH’S FUNERAL. From the New York Herald, today. New York Honors the Memory of Its Heroic Young Soldier. Hamilton Fish, soldier, was buried yester- day in his own ccuntry. The funeral of the young sergeant in the Rough Riders, who fell before Santiago, was attended by men and women prominent in the social life of the city, by some of the sergeant’s comrades in arms and members of his col- lege fraternity, in St. Mark’s Church, 2d avenue and 10th street, yesterday morning. Soldiers bore the body to its last resting place and fired a volley over the open grave in Garrison, N. ¥. St. Mark's Church was beautifully dec- orated. Chancel rail, font and lectern were covered with flowers. There were a wreath of laurel, the victor’s crown, and clusters of roses and lilies. Troop A, which provid- ed a military escort, sent a great. bunch of white roses bound with ribbons in the national colors. There were floral designs upon the altar steps. The brightness of the flowers contrasted strongly with the som- ber interior of the church, on the walls of which are tablets bearing the names of the ancestors of him whose body was lying in_the vestry. = Then came the low tones of the organ. “J Am the Resurrection and the Lite” was the theme. Uniformed soldiers lifted the flag draped coffin to their soldiers and bore it up the aisle. Privates William Adams, John Shepard, Stacy Richmond, Philip J. Stillman and E. Victor Loew of Troop 1. OQ. Z. Whitehead of p 2, and William and Alexander L.

They had come from the hospitals to honor the memory of him who fought with them in Cuba. Extreme simplicity characterized the ser- vice, conducted by the Rev. William Mon- tague Geor, vicar of St. Paul's Che sisted by the Rev. Dr. William H. Vibbert, vicar of Trinity Chapel, and the Rev. Wal- ter K. Bentley, eurate of St. Mark's Church, When the scriptures had been read, mem- bers of the Delta Psi fraternity paid a tribute to the young man whom they had known in the days when he was an ath- lete in Columbia University. The first two laid sprigs of evergreen upon the coffin in the form of a cross, while their com- rades passed in line and each laid like tok- ens upor the lid until a cross of green cov- ered the top. Then followed the regular commitment service of the Protestant Epis- copal Church. The body was borne to the hearse at the church yard gate. The mili- tary escort presented arms as it passed, and then wheeled into line behind the hearse as the procession passed through 10th street to Sth avenue. Broadway forgot its busy life as the mourners cfossed it. Citizens who had been hurrying over the pavements stopped upon the curb and waited with uncovered heads until the procession passed. The bells of Grace Church tolled the years of him who had met death in battle. In the Grand Central station the family, the military escort, the pallbearers and several friends who wished to accompany the body to its last resting place, took the train for Garrisons, on the Hudson, wherc a grave had been made in the plot of the Fish family in the old burying ground The Rey.

The Spanish Method of Making “Tro- chas” With It. From the New York Tribune. Many accounts of the operations near Santiago and other places in Cuba show that barbed wire plays an important part in the defense of the island. It has been known ever since the revolution began in Cuba that the Spanish trocha or dead line was marked with barbed wire, but until the United States troops reached the island there were only indistinct ideas as to how the wire was used and to what extent it became e- impediment to an invading or force. It was believed by many that these barbed-wire abatis were simply wire fences of from four to eight feet high, but it has not built on the Between H and I Sts.

GERT’S ANGOSTURA BITTERS are well known as the mest efficacious remedy for Diarrhea and all diseases of the digestive organ ES: times a strand will be fastened to a stump, and from there to a height of eight or ten fect on a tree, then down again to the next tree to a height of three or four feet from the ground. In this way hedges with six or eight strands of barbed wire are run along for miles, the construction being so irregular that one never knows where to look for thé individual strands. The whole forms a formidable barrier. This style of abatis is popular in all southern countries, and has been used wherever there has been a war since barb- ed wire became a commercial commodity. The only thing like a barbed-wire hedge used in the civil war was a telegraph wire hedge at the siege of Knoxville. It has been said by the Cuban and South American leaders that the barbed wire is superior to wood abatis made from limbs of trees, because the wood can be torn to pieces by artillery fire, and once down the forces can march through the breach. It can also be set on fire. The barbed-wire abatis cannot be destroyed in that way, and it has been suggested that a dynamo might make the collection of wire strands exceedingly hard to handle. But it does not appear that scientific methods have been employed by the Spaniards, and their wire hedges were simply irregular, obsti- nate and most uncomfortable things which yielded, however, to the nippers with which the troops were supplied. The large manufacturers of barbed wire say that while great quantities ef their product were sent to Cuba during the last two years, they have no means of know- ing how much of it was used in building defensive works. They discredit the report that the American expedition to Manila carried many tons of barbed wire to be used in building hedges similar to thos¢ used in Cuba. They believe that much wire hhas been sent there, but they say that it will be used for purposes of peace and not for war. ——_ + e+ Plenty of Time.
