Picturesque Waterfalls, Glens and Charms of the Towns En Route. Special Ccrrespondence of The Evening Star. LAKE GEORGE, August 16, 1898. With “the roseate hues of early dawn, rhile the dew was still upon the blossom,’ we left Manchester for Lake Georg>—the sea of dreams. Rutland is the most impor- tant place on the route to Baldwin, the ter- minus of train travel, whence we take th? steamer for the circuit cf the lake. We passed East Dorset, upon which Mount Eolus spreads its progecting shade. There we saw immense quarries of marbie, large fields of it, already manufactured, for mon- uments and building material of every kind, and we did wisn space could be anni- hilated and we might transfer it in quan- tity for such uses at home. The country becomes hilly and pictur- asque, but lacks the eublimity of the mount- ains left behind. Mount Equinox ts one of the noted peaks of the Green Mountain range, being 4,600 feet above sea level. At the very top man’s ingenuity has built a little house, reached by a road so winding and sloping as to make the ascent almost imperceptible, for the benefit of tourists and picnics. Tae mountain streams are nu- merous, and mak? at intervals the most picturesque cascades and waterfalls. The beautiful glen has been the theme of many artists, and “Downer's Glen” has been made familiar by pencil and v2rse. There is a quarry on the mountain side of Mount Eolus which one versed in such work thus describes: “The blocks of marble are sent down the mountains by a gravity rail- road, the cars being governzd by machinery at the quarry, and the loaded car coming down draws the empty car up. They pass each other by means of an automatic switch, half way between the mills and the quarry.” It is one of the marvels of this section, and touri stop off to see it work. After East Dorset come North Dorset, Danby, Wallingford and South Wallingford, where tradition has it Captain Kidd buried a large portion of his treasur2s. One more town, Clarendon, not a great many miles from Rutland, and we are at Baldwin. I wish it would not exceed the limits of a letter to say something of each of these towns, all beautiful and all worthy of men- tion. Rutland far 2xceeds them all, how- ever. It is a railroad center and has much historical interest. I was told that the per- centage of poverty is less in Rutland than in almost any other known city of its size, and wealth there is very considerabl2, No marvel that it attracts so large a number of summer guests. Really, there seems nothing wanting for amusement, even apart from th> beautiful natural scenery. They have electric lights and a free library. Judging from what we were enabled to see in twenty minutes there is no place I have yet visit2d more desirable in every way. Cireait of the Lake. At Baldwin, the northern end of the lake, 750 passengers alight from the train, and after a little delay board the steamer. Mest of the passengers seemed tourists of some kind, artists with pencil and char- coal: kodaks everywhere; and, again, many who, like ourselves, were only there to en- joy che beauty of the far-famed lake. It was stil gray as we stood entranced with the first vie et the cancpy of cloud emed only to reveal the magnificence of the “wave-beat shore.” A mere unique combination of mountain, earth, sea and sky I hardly think can any- where be found. Lake George is the most easterly of the Adirondack lakes, at head of the valley of St. Lawrence. It is nearly four miles wide and is dotted by islands throughout its extent. The 100 miles of shore is a con- tinuous succession of villas, hot cot- rated here and there by ‘steep, tains, and ofttimes so imbed- ded in shrubbery that we can only peep at ther.

From the New Orleans Picayune. The following gives some interesting facts in regard to the competition of wo- men with men in the different depai ments of Inbor: Ther? were some 22,000,000 perscns of beth sexes engaged in gainful pursuits of all sorts in 18%. Of these about 4,000,000 were females and 18,000,000) mal re ccording to the same census, about 3,090,000 Tainilies in the United States. In 1890 there were 10,000,000 workers of both sexes. and of these one-twenticth, or £00,000, were femal These were | en- gaged chiefly in clothing factories, cotton mills and in shoe binding, and they were fcund almost wholly in the New Englan? states, whose men had gone away to sea or to the new lands of the west and left their women dependent. In the west and in the south a worran seldom went away from the home to work, or, if so, they were occupied wiih household du‘ies in After the civil war the situation vastly changed. A million mer lost or were so disabled as to be In- capacitated to support themselves. ‘The south suffered more than any other tion, and many women were left seif-de- pendent. It was a new thing to sce white women in the southern states start out to seek work in avenues that had been pre- viously closed to women. They could not take domestic service, because such places were mon¢ polized by the negroes who had been brought up to that sort of work. The Fests of teaching the young did not afford places for all who were forced to work. and thus white woren of the south emulated their sisters of the north and west in seck- ing the means of carning a livelihood in every honorable work within their ecapac- ity, and, however much the necessity for such a State of things is regretted, it must be recognized all the same. It is not only unmanly, but it is out- rageousiy unjust for men to complain that Women are driving them out of empluy- ment. There are 13,400,000 heads of fam- ilies in the United States. Some of these 's share amounted to are widows, but the greater number are pounds, and doubtle: men. There are men enough in the coun- brother, Major Genera! Keppel, re: try to support all the w en, if they an almost equal sum. Thus the Keppel! would. The fact Is that they do not. It is family benefited by this expedition to the tune of considerably over 150,000 pounds, and it ts recorded that General Eliott, with his share of the prize money, purchased the estate of Heathfield in Sussex, from which he afterward took his title.” Such were the solid rewards obtainable in war in the last century, when the profession of arms was for the successful soldier con- siderably more lucratic than it is at the elcse of the nineteenth century. _ +0. Portentous, From the Detroit Journal, All day it was dark; the sickening vapor hung like a pall over the earth. The people were wild with fled to the temple. “What does it mean?” they cried, fran- Ueally. The venerable priest of Apollo shook his head. “It's a Scotch mist,” he answered them, sedly, “and I never could make head or tail of dialect. No.” Was it that the gods were displeased? tee No Board for Her. terror and From Puck. “Yes, Ethel, he proposed and I accepted him.” “What, Gladys! Without consulting papa and mamma?” “Yes; I'm not going to have any beard of strategy Tunning my affairs!” their own fault. If every man who pre- tends to be a man were supporting a wo- man as he should, there would be probably 4.000.000 places in offices, stores, shops and factories that are now occupied by women | workers left free to men, and the women would be at home. The worst feature in the entire situation is that the women are put off with abeut «ne-half the wages given to men for the same service. This is an outrage in many cases. —+e2—____ Getting Along in Kentucky. From the Sioux City Jcurnal. An anecdote of Bishop Thomas W. Dud- ley reveals, in his own words, the. secrets of his success. ‘When it was first known in the city in which he was settled that he was to go to Kentucky some of his friends were dis- posed to be critical, “You are not going to Kentucky, are you?” asked one. “Yes, indeed.” “Do you know what kind of a state that is i sew in the paper that one man klled another in a Kentucky town for treading on a dog.’ The bishop said nothing, and the man continued impatiently: ao are you going to do in a place like that?" “t'm not going to tread on the dogs!” was the caim reply.

Under the auspices of the Spanish gov- ernment a great lottery scheme will be Jaunched in Madrid, the receipts of which, minus the prizes, will be turned over to the government for its most pressing needs. it is thought that by September the sal- aries of civil and military servants recent- ly suspended can then be made good. Cir- culars are being vent out all over Europe, and it 1s expected that 560,000,000 pesetas, or about $100,000,000, will be netted by the government. There are five capital prizes of 500,060 pesetas each. The lottery is not new in Spain, but the Spanish lottery has never been popular in other parts of Eu- rope, investors preferring to take their chances with the Dutch or Prussian lot- teries. The Spanish lottery in 1807 brought the treasury 3,000,000 pesetas, in the same year the Portuguese lottery gained 1,75)),- 000 milreis (nearly $2,060,000). The lottery 4s authorized in other countries of Europe. In Italy last year the government gained 62,000,000 lire ($12,460,000), showing that the poor lazzarone was not without his sav- ings. In Holland the official lotteries gain- ed $300,000; in Denmark the winnings amounted to about $50,000 more. But the Prussien lottery, which is annually operated under the direct authority of the state, is the most popular. There are a number of prizes of 500,000 marks every year, and in 1897 the recelpts of the treasurer amounted to over 100,000,000 marks. ae Dewey's $10,000 Prize. From Leslie's Weekly. The decision of the judge advocate gen- eral of the navy that Admiral Dewey's squadron was superior to the Spanish squadron in Manila bay, 1nd that therefore the bounties for each man on the enemy’s vessel shall be $100 per man, instead of $200, which it would have been if the Amer- ican ships had been the inferior, means that about $200,000 of bounty money will be divided among Admiral Dewey, his officers and men. Admiral Dewey will receive one- twentieth, or $10,000, and will be the largest beneficiary. But he an-l every man in the fleet will have earned his money. ————-ss.

Golf So Populat That Players Are in a Procession—Washington Arrivals. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. DEER PARE, Md;, August 18, 1898. “This place is certainly run mad over golf,” said a gentleman sitting on the hotel porch at Deer Park. “Every man, woman and child seem to Nave'taken it up.” If he had left the piazza, and, walked to the links, just south of re aa he would have found them spotted with pink coats and coatless persons, dnd he would have seen that it 1s a hard matter,to get in the game, the players follow 80 closely behind one an- other that every teeing ground and every green 1s crowded. ‘Naturally the more the links. are played on the more they are im- proved, -and- they are rapidly reaching a high state of perfection. After an after- noon’s play in the warm sun and bracing mountain air, a plunge into the swimming pool and a half-hour’s-swim in the clear water from Boiling Spring gives a most de- Hghtful finish to the day’s exercise. Last-Saturday night the dance in the ball Foam was the largest of the season. The Rev. Robert ‘T. Wood of Washington is at present at Deer Park, and conducted the service in the chapel last Sunday morn- ing. Since last Saturday the many social func- tions have included a card.party given by Mrs. Denny at her cottage for her guests, Mr. and Mrs. Carrol Fitzhugh of Pittsburg. Mrs. Fitzhugh is well remembered at Deer Park, having spent several summers here as Miss Mary Bell. Mrs. Lord gave a card party on Friday night. Mrs. Jas. Swan Frick gave a delightful “at home” Tuesday, her regular day. The porch was well filled with callers from the hotel and cottages. Miss Bessie Lord gave a bowling party Tuesday morning, the prizes being awarded to Miss Amy Du Puy, Miss Alice Painter and Miss Edna Johnson. The men's prizes were won in a close match between Mr. Marshall Bell and Mr. Mills Thompson. Bowling is indulged in to such an extent here that there are some very good scores on record. Miss Amy Du Puy holds the ladies’ record at 216, and Mr. Clarke the men’s, at 268. ‘The Deer Park ball team has done re- markably well in its games lately. In the last game they defeated Mountain Lake Park by a score of 10 to 3. This week's ar- rivals from Washington include Geo. F. Gulick, Miss M. L. Baldwin, Rev. Robt. G. Wood, R. L.

Soldiers at Sea Girt Are a Great At- traction—Euchre Parties. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. SPRING LAKE, N. J., August 18, 1898. The guests of the Monmouth House gave a sacred concert in the ayausement hall of that hotel last Sunday evening for the benefit of the Red Cross Scciety. Tuesday night there was a large euchre AT ASBURY PARK Where Friends: in Need Are Friends Indeed. The Story of a Drowning Laay ‘ the Offer of Two Dozen Flasks, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, August 18, 1898. People who have never visited this resort know it as “a place where you can’t get a drink.” An incident which occurred on the beach a few days ago serves to illustrate this popular conception of Founder Brad- ley’s temperance town. A young woman in bathing went beyond her aepth and was caught by the undertow. The bathing mas- ters finally brought her to the beach and she fainted the moment she was taken from the water. There were many expres- sions of sympathy from solicitous people who gathered about, but all that they had to say was not half so efficient as the ap- pearance of about two dozen Nght pocket flasks, which were held out to her. One of them was produced by an elderly man in the unmistakable garb of a preacher. The young woman came around all right after a swallow from the flask, and then there Was a general titter and a passage of pleas- aniries over the number ef suspicious bot- tles that had been shown. While Asbury Park is known throughout the country as a prohibition town, less than one-eighth of the summer population are prohibitionists. The summerites at Asbury Park may be divided into three cl. First, there are the cottagers, who have erected summer homes along the avenues in the residential northern part of the town, or who have rented furnished cottages. These renters pay from $200 to $2,000 for the season. Next in importance come the people who remain for the entire season at the big ho- tels. Then you may run down the scale until you reach the patrons of scores of lite boarding houses, where accommoda- tions may be obtained for from $5 to $6 a week. Close to them come the excursion- ists, which make up a vast floating popu- lation. The Beach Band, which gives con- certs at_ the pavilions every evening, is Asbury Park’s great leveler. At these en- tertainments you find all classes sitting on the benches, occupying seats on its pavilion and mingling in a constant stream up and down the plank promenade. This boardwalk is Senator James A. Brad- ley’s personal property. Not only does he own it, but he also owns the entire beach front of Asbury Park, with all its pavilions and bathing houses. It is for bim alone to say who shall enjoy the beach and who shail not. He alone makes the rules which govern the bathing suit question and the behavior of the visitors.

Lou Smith, the club's crack century rider, in all probability will be sent to Porto Rico next week in connection with the railway mail service. Lou will carry his wheel and pile up a few centuries while away. J. E, Whitson leaves next week for Colo- nial Beach, where he will camp for several days. Harry Walker has returned from Har- per’s Ferry, and John left last weelfor a trip through southern Maryland, J. D. Frazee has returned from his second trip to Atlantic City this season and is again out among the boys. The club's secretary, J. F. Broadbent, re- turned from a business trip to New York last week. Next Sunday the club run will be to Manassas, where the different camps will be visited: An early morning start will be made. The club house committee has been hard at work this month selecting rooms, getting estimates to cost of furnishing them, ete. This committee is one of the most im- portant ever appointed, especially at this time, when the club is branching out into club rooms. The run tomorrow will be over different sections of the proposed century route to ascertain the exact distances and character of the roads, ete., for the open century to be given by the club some time in October. Extensive preparations are being made for this event. The desire of the club is to se- lect “the easiest century ever run in this section—one that can be accomplished by all who undertake it.The pace will be regulated during the entire run and every- thing for the pleastre land comfort of the riders will be attenfledsto. Fully two hours in the city, if not more, will be allowed for dinner. The club is considering the advisa- bility of departing from: the old custom of giving each survivéf a‘Rold or silver-plated medal. It is thought that a solid gold pin, in the shape of the club emblem—a winged A-—with one gold bar attached, would be appreciated more than the ordinary medal, and on future cetitury’ runs of the club, which will be semfannfally, a solid gold bar would be adde# foreach 100 miles. 2. Li Hung ‘Chang. From the Philadelphia ;Telozraph. Few public men bave had more ups and downs of fortune thaf ‘our old friend Li Hung Chang. We,pav@'a right to call him our friend, for on,his visit to America he gave frequent utterance to the sentiment himself. Li Hung is again in high office, acting as chancellor under the empress dowager. This remarkabie woman is the real ruler of China. She has been so for a number of years, and now it seems the weakness of the emperor has grown so pro- nounced that no further attempt is made to conceal his incapacity for dealing with state matters. The empress dowager is confessedly at the helm, and ince Li has been restored to fullest favor, displacing the Chancellor Weng, who has been a dis- tressing weight upor Chinese progress. Li Hung $s to the full’as exceptional a char- acter as the empress. If he was a young man we believe he would have a good chance of rejuvenating China, ‘for he is largely penetrated by western ‘ideas. But at his age, when he has fully earned re- tirement, the cares of office must be very grievous, = : to le; former tawlings, his home elub is glad ne? of its Jobn W. iil at rn of the con- secretary-tre: who has be with typhoid many years he has practically ruled the resort. His Way to Attract. Senator Bradley’s ambition is wrapped in the beach front at Asbury Park. His pride in his property displays itself in many ways. For instance, he never loses an op- portunity to attract attention to it. time ago he placed a small iron the fishing pier and had mottoes of his sition painted on the side of it. Some as follow “Itis SAFE to say that every angler on this pier hopes to catch a twenty-pound Long years ure of Ho home from an hone ed his wife. $0 a poet wrote of ch went abus s the mem- «bo reduced fishing ice.” ning a lot in A pury Par up to th r tor a mai 2 board walk on it a large placard the following paragraph: “Drift Stuff. » familiar to all persons about the Atlantic tuft comprises almost 3 with kno anytl drift "This ma, r rellow who e and regard s simply Don’t be discouraged, but sit on this log and think of what the peet Tennyson says: at men may r Of their Dead $ se on Stepping ‘Ives to Noble: Thi An Official Peace-Maker. In every bathing house Mr. Bradley has posted a printed set of rules and his police- men have instructions to see that they are net broken. Of all the boardwalk characters none have a warmer plac? in the hearts ef the regular visitors than ‘Squire Burtis, who holds court at the As- bury avenue pavilion. He has a genial, niling countenance, and is never lone- s court consists of an easy office which is wired to one of the pa- vilion posts and which bears a silver plate upon which his name is inscribed. The ’squire’s duties are largely those of a pea maker. When any one acts in a disorderly manner cn the boardwaik he is taken be- fore ‘Squire Burtis instead of bei! hauled up to the further end of the village. In many instances small disputes have thus been settled to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. All the lost tots who are found on the beach crying for their mammas are at once taken to him, and he soon has them smiling and happy, feeding them pop corn until the arrival of half frantic parents. Life at Asbury is a reund of fun from breakfast until midnight. Shortly after 9 o'clock the crowd begins to show up on the beach and at 11 o’elock the sands are pecpléd with bathers. Guests from the big hotels form into pretty groups under the big sun umbrellas, which may be hired from beach attendants, and pretty girls have no difficulty in surrounding themselves with interesting young men. The college boys are not the least of the interesting figures on the sands. When they have taken a good swim they form small circus troops by themselves and turn somersaults and bu:ld big pyramids, much to the de- light of the crowd. At 1 o'clock there are hurried engage- ments made for the afternoon or evening, and then there is a general rush for lune! eon. During the afternoon there are trol- ley and bicycle rides to the neighboring re- sorts, fishing and sailing parties to Shark river and boating on Deal lake. Chief among the diversions at the hotels are the dances, given three or four times a week, and the big euchre parties once a week. The summer girl as found at As- bury Park, however, is more fond of danc- ing than anything else. The summer young men as a rule do not take very kindly to the exertion, but as the doings of the re- sort are ruled by the gentler sex, they sub- mit to the task and go through the two- step and waltz with wilting collars and drooping countenances. ‘Asbury’s season is now at its height. Very few of the cottagers think of leaving before the Ist of October, and the ma- jority of the hotels do not close until about that time. ——— SEASHORE PLEASURES. Speciat Correspondezee of The Evening Star. ASBURY PARK, N. J., August 13, 1603. ‘Today and tomorrow mark the season’s height at this resort. There have been big! crowds at the hotels and on “Founder” Eradiey’s beach every Saturday and Sun- day for six weeks, but none of them ap- proach in size or gayety the throng that has come to town the past few days. One of the main features of the season here is the Wesley lake carnival, and the *98 one which took place Monday evening surpassed ail its predecessors. The first prize for the neatest and most original boat decorations was awarded to Warren Burnett of Ocean Grove, whose craft rep- resented the battle ship Maine. The cruiser Brooklyn, owned by Mr. Howard Hameli of Brooklyn, captured the second prize. ‘The children’s carnival at the Lafayette Hotel was one of the prettiest and most. charming features of social life here.
