A, Pienic. On Wednesday afternoon the members of the Catholic Mutual Benefit association with their wives, children und a number of friends, divorced themselves from the cares of business and professional life and hied to the cool glens of Hanscom park to enjoy a picnic party, A numper passed the after- noon pleasantly swinging in hammocks and lazily chatting with their neighbors, but the great center of attraction was the dancing platform Where gallant men," pretty girls and ponderous matrons - smil- ingly stopped through the mazes of the quadrilles. It was an afternoon’s pleasuro of itself to sea County Attorney Mahoney trip lightly through the intricacies of the Virginia réel and coquettishly dos-a- dos with the head lady of the column. The towering form of Hon. C. J. Smyth was aiso a conspicuous figure in the dance. Mr, W. A. L. Gibbon and Major John B. Furay Jooked longingly at the dancers, but when invited to participate shook. their. heads mournfully and muttered something about “rheumatiz” The dancing was pro- longed until L S m.

As jolly a company as ever invaded the confines of Pries lake, spent last Sunday at that pretty little resort. Dancing and boat- riding consumed the groater portion of the day, and as fine a lunch as ever was spread at a picnio was served on the grass.

Announcements, Up-to some fifteen years ago there lived in Bucksport, Me., according to local tradition, a great-hearted, keen-witted old Yankee named Jedediah Prouty, whose deeds and sayings were the talk of every circlo for miles around. He ran an old-fashioned tav- ern in an old-fashivned way, so peculiar to himself that no one would undertake to con- tinue the establishment after his death, in 1873; hence 1t pussed away with bhim. Among the old fellow’s assistants in that tavern was a youth named Ricbard Golden. Young Golden was ropeatedly charged by the old man with peing a better hotel clerk than “tavern assistant,” and was ultimately found guilty on this account and sentenced to quit the tavern for the natural term of his life. Despite this visitation Mr. Golden has ever entortained the kindliest sentiments to- ward the aged innkeeper, and now secks to perpetuate the old fellow’s good memor, through the medium of the now play that unnounced for broduction in this city next Monday evening at Boyd's overa house, un- der the title of vOId Jed Prouty,” Mr. Golden to impersonate the title role himself. The company and scenery to appear here are the same that wero iately seen at the Tabor Grand opera house, Dénver, and the new California theater, San Francisco; also at the new Unjon Squaro theater, New York. ‘While the play is familiarly named after Mr, Prouty, it 1s said to aim at portraying only the old Yankee's best qualities, with the laudable object of demonstrating to the world, through the agency of the stage, that the “down east’er” is not such a fool as he is usually represented to be. The Chicago Chuirch Choir company wilt make its farewell appearance at the Edon Museo this week in *‘Girofle Girofla.” This popular opera will be produced with new costumes and scenery and the management promise that it will be the best of the opera season. ———— Infested With Burglars. Last Monday night a couple of expert burglars enterad the ousp of E. H. Shor- wood, at No. 2210 Dodge etreet, and that of Mr. C. D. Thompson &t 4215 Dodge. They were discovered in Mr. ;Sherwood’s house Deéfore thoy had secured dnything, but i M Thompson's they secureda couploof watches, and a few other articles, ' Friday night the Burglars returned to Mr, - Sherwood’s and succeeded in affectidg 'an entrance. Mr. Sherwood was on the frant porch and the servants were in the rear of the house. The burglars slipped into ‘the house between 8 and 9 o'clock and stole a diamond and other jewelry valued at about $500 and left with- out being seen. The house of Earaest Riall at Twenty-fifth and Dodge was entered ‘Uhursday night aud: silverware valued at was taken. The residents of this neigh- borhood have been the, victims of several robberies lately, but have kept the secrot quiet in hopes of securing the robbers, but thus far they have been bafiled. McBride's Cowardly Trick. Patrolman McBride, “one’ of the finest," hasbeen the means of making u conductor on the motor ine lose his position. A few days ago McBride jumped on a motor train of which Morris Roth, a young man newly ap- pointed, was conductor. Roth asked nim for his fare, stating that a new order required i ‘edriductors to collect fare from policemen tho | same as from auyono else. Mei that the order in question_hud been revoked, that Dr. Mercer had told iiim about ten min- utes before that the order had beon recalled, and that poticemen could ride free. McBride W 80 positive 10 his statements that Roth fivally concluded that he was correct, and al- lowed him to ride. When Roth turnéd in his trip report he made a note of the incident and was summarily dismissed for disobeying the rules. Roth went to Mayor Broatch and complained about McBride. The mayor promised to look into the matter and report it to Chief Seavoy, but nothing bas been heard of it, Gets Twenty-five Days. Tu July of last year John Fitzpatrick had a watch stolen from his coat which was hang ing 1n his shop at the corner of Sixteenth and Charles stroets. The matter was re- ported to the police and a careful but unsuc- cessful search made for the stolen ticker, A fow days ago Kd Miller, o painter, was arrested on the charge of wife beating and is now serving a city jail sentenco for the offense, Since his arrest he has confessed 1o the larceny of the watch and Detective Dempsey to-day secured the ticker from a woman to whom Miller had presented it. “The matter was brought to the attention of Judge Berka yesterday and a sentonce of twenty-five days in jail roturned. Miller will have umple time to meditate on his bad luck. A Bolicitor.

OLN s S , NEB FLIRTATION AS A FINE ART, The Susceptible Beautios of the Atlantio Oity Beach. THEY'LL MEET YOU HALF WAY. A Young Man lsn't Allowed to Be Modest Very Long Among These Pretty Players in the Surf. Eyiphs of the Sea Shore. AroaxTio Orey, August 21.—[Spectal to Tur Ber.]—For the last five days had it not been for my great faith in the promise I should have advocated the erection of an ark, but to-day old Sol wears his most radi- ant smile and all nature scoms to respond. The beach is literally lined with pleasure- soekers, whole carloads of raw excursionists are being constantly emptied out of open Dbox cars. A large number are those young men who wear lightning jackets and are forever batting tennis bail over a net to a beefy girl in a white jersey. A chimes orchestra plays operas on string iustru. ments,which the sea air has drawn the heart ut of. But the beach | An! thero s grandour enough to make up for a world of conventially disagrecable thin The immense waves pound in like so many waterfalls, tipping the gayly arrayed bather upside down, and freezing the beauty from a pretty face as quickly as a February gale, Large belted men and women of equal girth tiptoe 1nto the surf, recoive one crush- ing roller on the back of the neck, and then come out s GRACELESS AS A KANGAROO, with dighity und poise all gone, ywhilo with chattering teeth and sickly smilo they tell the innocent-looking bystander that they “enjoy it,” and that the ‘‘water is warm.” But they don’t and the water is like ice. Alarge but very select party arrived from Philadelphia to-day and are swarming tho board walks and hotel verandas, They are said to represent the blue-blood of that delightful locality and have decided to wait until the common herd have finished bathing before taking a dip. They don't seem to have considered the size of the ocean; but have paid some little tribute to tho feelings of the people, ‘The Pittsburg citizens who for the last two weeks have graced this beach with their presence, and helped to swell the exchequer of the hotel treasurer, are amusing sveci- mens. They stalk through the halls and parlors, berating the management for the lack of ‘‘natural gas’—indeed, any kind of gas—and say @ great many disagreeable things about the weather and temperature, and are very much outraged in their feel- 1ngs, that their orders for “fire-bricks” do not bring forth some heat, and although their fund of knowledge, like their gas plants, seem inexhaustuble, they have thrown very little light upon the subject as to whether the ‘“fountains of the great deep”? are broken up, 'They don't scem to know whetner the earth is to be over- whelmed io the deluge or not, but they do feel impressed with the notion that things ought to be ‘it up.” One becomes acquaifited readily here, for a lovely young man fs hired on purpose to promote social enjoyment, and as he takes a newcomer by the lupel of the coat and tows him up to tne dancing girl—who are always anxious to sample a fresh partner—ke is re- warded by & beaming smile of approbation from the hopeful mamas—I think they judge a man by his waltzmovement. The exquisite ‘‘master of ceremonies is more of a success with the ladies, than a United States sena- tor or minister to France would be unless they know how to balance on the corners, You see there are peculiarities about seaside hfe. A well train intellect is OUTDONE BY SKILLED LIMBS, A soulful poet with a head like Byron, is nowhere by the side of a bold, fat man who can do the polka. The hige toned -sensative artist may obtain a shock here, but the giddy butterfly who is in the swim, gets smiled at, smiles back, and says to his too particular friend, ““As you will, I'tike it.,” The reas- ons for liking it are mahy, and are substan- tial enough for summor weather, Flirtation has been Brought to the highest degree of culture at Athantic City, A young, mild:eyed, inoffeusive'young man arrives from Denver at noon. After getting his bag- gage to his room he takes a chair on the front piazza, and gazes foward the vast ox- vanse of sail-dotted sea, with its low- ing shores edged with foam. 'Tis but a short distance to the beach—a board walk runs directly to the bath house on the side, young man declares that he had not watched the waves for ten minutes when a sharp little GIRL OF EIGHTEEN DETECTED 1M, She walked straight up to where he was, and with one of those ‘‘up-to-date” smiles, said, *I beg your pardon, sir, but would you mind fiuding my brother for mei = I feel @ little timid about going in the surf aione.” Of course he didn’t know her relatives from Adam, but after walking through a mile or two of hallway, he comes back to where the young gicl had sunk into a chair, and drawing up one near her side, expressed his regrets that he had been un. able to assist her. It bathing hour, the hotel verandas wero practicaily deserted, 80 these two sat chatting away about *‘negli- gent brothers,” sca broezes, base ball and the weather till the crowd began coming back. All the giris looked with onvious eyes upon the little fairy and wondered who the stylish new comer could be and how the cap- ture was made, when the young lady sud- denly remembered that the “ainner hour was approachivg. With u graceful bow and a bewildering smile sho says: “I must go vow. I will see you aain, shall I not" *I trust 80, comes with a wiance of flattering hope, Atthe seaside eating is reduced from a science to a business. It is & severe shock to a delicate dude the first time he eats with n girl who has acquired an Atlantic city appe- tite. There is not, however, such a giaring differcnce between the philanthropist, the poet and the othereal young lady as ono might suppose, when they meet at dinner, The slices of rare ronst beof and bread, jars of chowehow and wixed pickles and potatoos are consumed With an air of triumph and TATE FAIR= ., SEPTEMBER 6th o 13ih, 1889 tremondous excitement which soems to indi- cato & COMM N WAnt. It is tho air of coursa. The air covers a muititade of everything. It stimuiates some yoting peoplo 8o that they can’t get to bed until the *‘woo sma’ hotrs.”’ It instigates horo moro succossful dancos than one is accustomed to find in summer weathor. A hop or a gorman hore is pos:- tively IMPOSING IN ITS PLENTIFU B8S, The dancer is not afraid to appear in any color that nature knows or dyelng establish- ment can produce. Fishing from the piors was novor better than it is this year. [ine strings aro caught every day, and_dogshark, skatefish, rudder- flsh and ofhor queer specimons of the finny tribe are frequently pulled out. There was groeat excitement on the board walk this morning when it was loarned_that a large school of drumfish was sporting in_the vicinity of Applegate's pior. Fishing lines were quickly gotten out, and a number of SPOFLSmON Wera s0on angling for this boauti- ful denizen of the soa. Unfortunately tho hooks and lines obtainablo were not, as a genoral thing, strong enough to land the beavier fish, ‘and only five were brought from the water. But the Ohalfonto enjoys the distinction of entertaining the hero of tho day, Dr. Howard Ketcham, of Philadel- phia, who, with exporienced’ eye, stoady hand and nerve, throw in his lino and aftor a play of fiftoen or twenty minutes landed tho larzost drum-fish that has be caught hero for many scasons. Whan taken to the noarest soales the monster was found 10 weigh fifty pounds.

A St. Louis man, who stood by, was asked what he thought of the performance, aud he reluctantly admitted that it was @ ‘“great feat." Tho base ball flands are here, too, and for four hours, last Tuosday afternoon, 1,700 pounds of fat men and about fifty-four foer of lean ones, batted, ran bases, fell down, muTed balls, and iicked at the umpire’s de: cisions, whilst sixty-nine runs were tallied on tho score book. The ludicrous incidents that happened in tho atternoon’s play wero suftl- contto excite the risiblo faculties of the most sedate. In tho first inning, Johnson, of the heavy weights, maao a three- base hit to right fleld, and trotted to first, then across tho diamond toward the piteher’s box, having lost himself in the diamond. He was then piloted to second pefore the ball was roturnod, Most of the fats made better time between bases when they walked than when they ran, and the pitcher for the slims struck out three men in four hours, and the one for tho fats struck out six. 13uses on balls were too numerous to mention, This is the initial game tnis season, and will long be remembered by tho lurge number of spectators present. ~The umpire has received nine challongos, with choice of weapons and place to fight, also the privilege of wmting for the DECISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI JUDGES in the Sullivan-Kilrain case.

But why not do both! “T am glad,” said a union man yesterday, “that at the meeting of the union presidents Thursday night, the action of the meeting held the previous weok in practically snub- bing the workingwomen of the cltf was rescinded.
