A report th a t canteen service has been established a t F o rt Hancock, Bandy H ook.coused a circular to bo Issued S a t­u rday iif this c ity , calling a mass m eet­in g a t E ducational liall a t 4 o’clock yes­terday ufternoon. Tho c ircu lar set forth th a t th e object of th e m eeting.w as to p ro test against, and to tak e m easures to stop, th e unlaw fu l sale of liquor at F o rt H ancock, where Company A, o t tb ls oity, Is .stationed.

The circu lar fu rther sta ted th a t a boI- dlers’ liquor saloon has been opened a t F o rt H ancock, in violation o t law and th e arm y regulations, and th a t private soldiers aro being detailed to ac t 01 b a r­tenders. "Lot a ll pood citizens un ite in th is effoit to protect our young soldiers from th e evils o f the rum traffic," was tho final clsuse contained in th e c ircu­lar. • , ■'

As a result of the above m entioned call, a large and enthusiastic audience assembled in Educational halt yesterday afternoon. Seated upon tb e platform w ere Founder J . A. Bradley, T, F rank Appleby and nearly a ll ot th e local clergym en. ' *

Rev. W. W. Ridgley o f B radley Beach w as selected as chairm an. In accepting th e honor he recited th e facts ip q u es­tion w hich led to th e calling of the m eeting, aqd said it was deplorable th a t such a condition of affairs should exist. H e Bald th e boys had no t enlisted to sell rum , and th a t i t was a poor business fcr th e U nited S tates to be engaged In. In conclQdlng his rem arks Mr. Ridgley sa id : “ W ould to Ood th a t all th e youhg men enlisted In the service be buried in tropical soil, or in the southern w aters of the A tlantic, ra th er th an re tu rn home degraded and debauched by dissi­pation. F or th e sako of posterity and th e flag of our country, and for the sake of m others, wives, daughters aftd sw eethearts, let us abolish the curse.’’

Founder Bradley was then Intro­duced. H e said he was getting to th a t age w here be could stand but 'l i ttle ex­citem ent, bu t he found it impossible to rem ain aw ay upon such an occasion. “ I.am g lad to be here,” lie continued, "an d en te r my protest against such an unpatrio tio s ta te o f affairs. I have a l­ways been a tem perance advocate, and have devoted a goodly portion o f m y life in th e .in terest of th e cause. We m ust p iit a stop to the ac tio n referred to . and I would advise going to the highest source.” - -

Rev. G eorge J . M ingins, pastor of th e W estm inster P resbyterian church , was th e nex t speaker. H e said th a t our peo­p le w ere w illing to give th e ir sons and th e ir m oney for th e country’s cause, bu t w ere no t w illing tb a t th ey should be subjected to th e tem ptation of in tem ­perance. D uring his rem arks Dr. Min­gins took occasion to say th a t those who w ere buried in southern soil os a result o f th e civil w ar, w ere better off th a n those who re tu rned homo degraded and debauobed fo r life by liquor. The speaker referred to P residen t .McKinley as a God-fearing, loyal A m erican, and urged th a t the m atter in question be laid before him.

Rev. George B, W ight, pastor o f the F irs t M ethodist church , said he was as tounded when he woo inform ed th a t liquor w as being sold a t F o rt Hancock.

•* W hy,” he continued, “ It is against a ll arm y regulations, o rn lse those regu ­lations have been changed. I t 1b u n ­law ful to detail a soldier to sell liquors, and C aptain M u d d e ll. o r any o ther officer can refuse to order a detail for th a t purpose. I believe G eneral bewail would give us relief if th e m atter was laid before him ."

Rev. H T. W iddemer, C ongregation­alism said he desired to correct a false impression. H e claim ed th a t he had been inform ed npon good authority th a t th e m en were n o t detailed to sell th e liquor, a lthough they w ere compelled to help in carry ing it into tbe camp, w hich was bad enough. “ I also under­stand th a t the liquor Is sold by th e reg­ulars, w ith Colonel McCrea’s knowl­edge.” con tinued tb e speaker, "b u t I w ant to say righ t hero th a t Company A has refused to have any th ing to do witb tb e liquor in any way. I f we w ont re ­dress we m ust pass over th e command- ingiofflcer a t F o rt Hancock.

Colonel J . M. Scovel, who was p res­en t, moved th a t Founder Bradley be chairm an of a com m ittee to present a petition to tho proper officers. Mr. Bradley declined, and Colonel Scovel w as chosen. H e said if i t wns desired he would pay b lsow n expenses to W ash­ington and present th e petition direct to the president. The follow ing com­m ittee for th is work was finally ap­pointed: Colonel Scovel, T : F rank Ap­pleby, D r. Mingins, Jam es A. Bradley. George W. T reat and Rev. W. W . Ridg­ley.'. , - ' "■ ■■■■■•■• ' .

I t was also decided th a t th e petition Bhould go to Colonel McCrea first, and if the praotice cannot be stopped by him , or be refuses to act. i t will then go direct to th e , president. The petition was circulated in th e churches yester­day m orning and again last n ight. A num ber o f signers were also secured a f te r th e m eeting yesterday afternoon. The petition is na follow s:" C o l o n el McCr e a :

“ Dear S ir:—We are creditab ly In ­formed th a t tinder your com m and a t Fort H ancock the. canteen service has' been established. This is to th e great g rief of. th e personal friends of ■ our sol­diers, and, as wo believe, to the grenf detrim ent of the servico, as well os dis­astrous to the habits o f sobriety, con­stan tly placing, as it does, before our m en tem ptations to drunkenness Imrd to resist aw ay from th e influences of home and friends:

“ Therefore, we tbe undersigned, being duly solicitous for th e bonor of our country ’s flag, and in th e oiHoionoy of our soldiery, as well as their personal w elfare, do .mOBt earnestly p ray th a t you will uso your perogativo (us m any others .have done to, the groat jo y and satisfaction o f ‘the coun try ), in dispens­ing w ith tbe oanteen service under your ju risd ic tion . By so doing you w ill se­cure the lasting gratitude of th e great body of th e oitizens of our sta te and na­tion ."- ,______ .

The Apostles’ Creed waa recited in concert, and Rev. George H ughes led in prayer. I t was a lengthy appeal to God for guid­ance, and especially earnest in its reference to th e p resent w ar w ith Spain. The soldiers on sea and land were te n ­derly rem em bered, as was also th e pres­ident and cabinet, and the "am ens” were hearty th roughout the audience. Dr. H ughes prayed th a t there m igh t be no cessation o f hostilities un til civil lib­erties were secured fo r th e inhab itan ts n o t only of Cuba, b u t of th e o ther islands now under the ty rran ica l Span­ish yoke, to all of w hich h is bearers seemed to agree, judg ing by th e num er­ous “ am ens” heard. , .

The extrem ely ho t w eather th a t came to us last S aturday unannounced proved to be alm ost unbearable. The heat seemed to rise Up from th e ground w ith ttlnv.st. overci>mingl?ffect, and was par tlcu larly hard on those whose duties compelled them to moVe about briskly.

A rush from -'the hot cities was the result of th e rise in the therm om eter, and all the shore resorts filled up rap id ­ly, especially Asbury Park. .

The storm th a t capie along about 8 o'clock cooled off the atm osphere and freshened up th ings som ewhat. Tha second storm an hour la te r was more severe, and was q u ite electrical in its character. The lightn ing was vivid and alm ost continuous, and kept up for some tim e afte r th e rain ceased. The clouds em ptied th e ir canteuts so co­piously th a t streets and {.utters were choked up w ith w ater, and sidewalks w ere subm ergad atTnany points. Pedes­trian s had a difficult tim e to move about even afte r th e rain ceased falling, ow ing to th e overflowed sidewalks.

Y esterday daw ned bright and clear, b u t th e m ercury w as ra th er flighty— seemed to w a t t to climb higher and h igher all tb e tim e. A good breeze tem ­pered the atm osphere and made life bearable. '

Aabury P ark is th e tnecca for am a­te u r fishermen. D uring tb e bass Beacon the beach is invariably lined w ith lovers of the rod and reel,,and fish stories seem to be the order of the day. T h e r^ is a peculiar fascination about fishing which suddenly takes hold o f a person And which it is impossible to shake off. '

F ishing fd t striped bass ts an u nusua l­ly fascinating pastim e, due to th e fact th a t th is species of th e finny tribe is ▼ery gamey and th e m ethod of* land ing one is exciting. Many of our prom inent business men and sum m er residents de­vote m uch of th e i r tim e to th is sport, and the fishing tackle in use here during the sum m er season represents a big o u t­lay of money.

Tho passing of the pow­de r m onkey is ono of m any th in g s w hich m ark tho difference between tho old navy and th e new.. Tho difference began when tho hydraulio l if t supplanted tho powder monkey, w hen tJtyj ordinary seam an be­cam e som ething m ore th a n a meTO m an of braw n an d c&urage, and ended w ith thb transfo rm ation -o f the g nnner from the* grade of o rd inary seaman; who knew b u t to Obey order, in to a tra ined m an capable o f w ork ing w ith accuracy and precision.

**A11 tho difference in. the w orld ,” said an old seam an who began h is naval life a s a pow der m onkey SO years ago, b u t who now canno t qualify as a g unner of any class, in com m enting on tho changed con-, ditlons. . “ Now i t ’s all a m atte r of educa- tlon, and whilo I used to be callcd a good m an a t the b u tt- end of -nn old smooth­bore m y place is takqn by lads and I ’m la id by .” .

Tho ord inary seaman of tho present navy, who opcfrites tho sm all guns w hich compose tho secondary battery of a battlo- sh ip and are used only a t close range, has tak en th e place of tho old tim e gunner, and ho In tu rn has risen and is now a w ar­ra n t officer, occupying a place between the seam an and tho noncommissioned oflicer, hav ing a mess ap art from tho ordinary seam an. Ho is not, however, eligible to advancem ent fu r th e r th an th a t of a g u n ­ne r of th e first class. Below h im are tho gunners o f tbp second class, formerly tho gunners* m ates, and the gunners of tho th ird class, who • in the days of tho old navy w ere know n as tho gunners’ appren­tices. ^ I n the old order of naval affairs gunners rose from tho ran k of ordinary seam an and had as the ir only claim to th e ir title s the sk ill in the p o in t b lank shoo ting of tho tim o acquired by .long practico.

Besides tho cool head, steady hand and keen eyo of the old tim e gunuer, the g u n ­n e r of th e new navy m ust possess a gun- no r’s education, including not only a th o r­ough knowledge o fjjo th common qnd <Jcc-. im al fractions, b u t also"tho lisc a n d a p - plica tio n of th e principles of algebra, geom etry, trigonom etry and trajectory.„ Ho is taugh t, first, th a t to locMe to a n icety th e object upon w hich iio is to tra in h is gun ho m ust observe i t from two dif- ferenJ^pQ int^aju^then |iavlpjE^cstabHshed a base" lino and the tw o odjacen£' angles by th e scicncoof triangu la tion he finds tho In tervenin g distance. _Many cxpejjwign 12 haFe resulted in theTornuilation of tables an d the Invention of m echanical in s tru ­m ents w hich m ako tho calculatipn a m a t­te r o f b u t a few seconds.

By ano ther process, if the sh ip upon w hich tho g u n n er Is stationed be moving, th e a im can be m ade qu ite as accurate, an d to th is exact reduction of th e science is due th e a lm ost m arvelous m arksm an­sh ip of th e Yankee gunners. ...........

Every housewife should m ake i t a po in t to see th a t her fam ily aro supplied w ith boiled w a ter to d rink , boiled w ater In th e ir food, if in an y w a^ i t is used. Every person! v^ho, lives o r eats in tow n should try to know- th a t she o r he d rtn k s only boiled w ater, but, oh, how h a rd th is Is when one boards o r takes m eals a t the cafes an d restau ran ts o f the tow n. .

There Is a science in cooking w a ter th a t few know o r even guess. Wo con ten t o u r­selves by g rum bling a t th e “ f la t” taste,- t l u r “ queer tw angs” th e a lm ost “ oily feel­in g ” of tho w a ter as w e swallow it, an d ha lf of u s try to su b stitu te m elted Ice in place of th e cooked w a ter a s o u r m ainstay in th e fliiid wcirld of tb e epicure.

Is there any one in tho in te lligen t w orld who would w ilfu lly und know ingly p u t on tbji clothes o{ a scarle t fever p a tien t be­fore they were purified? No. S till thero are thousands of us \vho do deliberately d rin k up tho w atdr supplied us by tho city, know ing i t to bo bad, probably di’seaso laden, w ithou t- tho least effort to protect ourselves agulnst the ovil resu lts.

So fa r th is is very simple. Tho . w ater w ith in the bottle is pu>o; but, oh,-how- fla t and tasteless, how unsatisfy ing 1 -It. Is .boiled, b u t i t is n o t ready to be used. Take tho bottle outdoors an d uncork. Let tlio fresh a ir slowly fill in ovor th e w ater; fften cork and shake. You m u st repeat th is operation soveral tim es, u n ti l the once lifeless w ater is thoroughly aired. T h a t Is ono of th e secrets. Boiled w ater is fiat be­cause the a ir is forced ‘ou t.o f it, and in a ll m oving w a ter a ir is very largely p resen t

T h a t is recipe No. 1, tho best and sim ­plest—boil the w ater in a corked bottle tw o-th irds fu ll a u d then a d m ittin g a ir shake several times.

SOME FLOWER NAMES.

There is many" a flower’s name, th a t gives u s a q u a in t b it o f h lsto iy o r folklore o r flashes upon us a charm ing glim pse of Its h au n ts a n d associates. Saxifrage, for instance, o r stono breaker, b rings up viv­idly a p ic tu re of tho plates—tho gray clefts o r crevices of th e rocks—w here wo pnd its m odest w hite flower. Rosemary,' nam ed from tho L a tin w ords m eaning dew o r spray of sea, te lls u s of s a lt sea m arshes sprinkled w ith the pale purp le blooms.

' T he gladiolus (little sword) is so called probably from its sharp , sword shaped leaves, and th e eg lan tine (d im inu tive of the French aigu ille ) from- its piercing ,' neodlelike thorns. Cocoanut Is from tho Spanish cooo, o r bugbear, descriptive of the queer, im pish , littlo face a t tho base of the ha iry n u t.

FIRING A BIG GUN.

V ibrations W hich May Canse Beafnesa,B usiness, Nausea a n d . Even D eath byH eart Stoppage to Those In Close Prox­im ity to the M onster Cannon* (

N ot one m an in 10,000 has a c lear Idea of ust w ha t Happens w hen a b ig cannon is Ircd. T he physical m anifestations a re

num erous. Even professors of chem istry and physics aro stum ped when they w a n t to differentiate a ll the gases se t loose and tho p ecu liar effects they induce. rjKie puff o f w h itish Smoko, the flash of fire, the d im im age of the flying projeotllo, th e ro a r and tho recoil aro a ll fam iliar, b u t back o f a ll these is a complex m ass of phenom ena m ost bew ildering to the m ind o f any b u t a n a rtille ry expert.

F irs t, tho cubes, disks, hexagons o r i r ­reg u la r lum ps of powder a re chcm lcally transform ed in to a pow erful, expanding gas th e in s to n t firing takes plaico. T hen thero aro innum erable byproducts th a t even chem ists do n o t understand.

I t has been calculated th a t o n ly abou t 43 per cen t by w eigh t of th e pow der is converted by tho explosion in to gas. Tho re m a in in g 57 per cent becomes a l lq u l^ tho m om ent of explosion, and on solidify­in g becomes potassium snlphote, potas­s ium carbouato and potassium sulphide. A g rea t m nny o th e r com binations tak e jlace, and various solids uro form ed w hich

havo never been successfully analyzed.Tho ordinary charges placed In the 12

Inch g u n s of tho U nited S tates w arships d u rin g tbifi com plicated chem ical tra n s ­form ation exert a pressure on tho w alls o f tho cannon of abou t 43 tons to th e square Inch. T his force serves to s ta r t the p ro­jec tile and develops a speed of 2,019 feet xsr second by tho tim e tho shot reaches th e uuzzlo of tho cannon. U p to th is stage of th e explosion tho chem ical action has gone on In perfect silence. Tho trem endous r e ­p o rt w hich plays such havoc w ith th e nerves of tho gunners Is n o t causod by th e explosion 'itself. B u t. a s tho projectile em erges from the muZzlo i t leaves behind I t a vacuum In tho barrel of the g u n ,’and th e report. Is caused by th e a ir in Its ru sh to fill up th is em pty space. \

Tho forces exerted by theso gases In ex- pand lng seem to r a d ia te jn all directions from the cannon, as ripples arc caused by d ropp ing .a pebblo in a pool of s t i l l w ater. As a m a tte r of fact, i t has been discovered th a t theso lines of forces aro exceedingly com plicated affairs a n d ‘ play very queer p ran k s abou t tho cannon. As a result, few people know ju s t w hich is tho Bafest o r the m ost dangerous position fo r a g u n ­n e r to tak e beside h is gun. Tho cen ter ol d istu rbance a t tho m om ent of explosion It th e m outbrof tbo gun . I n the case of thfc g re a t 18 inch guns on our m onito rs a posi­tio n back of tho g u n is m u3h easier th a n one nearer tho muzzlo... .

I n addition to th is force there la an im ­m ense pressure exerted on tho sides of th e cannon, so th a t ano ther d ls tino t-series of- shocks also radiates ou tw ard from tho b a r­re l of the g u n : Thefie aro in tu rn m ore oz less com pensated by tho forces o f tho a li opposing them as i t rushes in ta th o m outh of th e cannon w hen tho projectile leaves it. A s a resu lt of a ll these forces the a t ­mosphere Is, of course, v iolently d isturbed. A lthough n o projoctile s trikes th e gunnbr, who m u st s tand by, i t w ill be seen th a t the a ir Ib fu ll of missiles in tho form of in ­visible lines of force or v ib ra tions w hich bom bard, aa It were, every p a rt o f the g u n n er’s body a t tho sam e tim e.

M en generally account­ed courageous tremble, violently in th e ir knees, o th e rs feel nauseated, some have severe headaches, a few have had th e ir e a r­d ru m s sp lit o r tho action o f th e ir heart affected. ^

T ake tho v ita l o rgan , tho heart, first. I n the space between th e r ig h t au ric le and ventricle a re a set o f fine, th read lik e cords caUoft tho tendlnso. T he concussion makes th em trem ble lik e tim bers in a b u ild ing w hen thcrb is an earthquake. In a w eak m an the cham ber of tho h e a r t is left open fo r an in s tan t, th o opening and closing springs lose th e ir contro l, the heart shakes, possibly tho chord© ten- dlnco are snapped, con traction o r d ila tion of th e organ ensues an d in somo Instance* death follows.

Deafness induced by an explosion may be traced to tho Budden pressure upon the Inner orifice of the e a r and th e trem endous v ibration set up.

“ S ir ,” answ ored Houssaye, „ “ do you suppose I am going to p u t . i t on your head?” w "

“ I require; s i r ," said th e deputy, “ th a t you replace m y h a t bn tho chtlir whero i t w as.” , * ' , |

Houssaye merojy laughed, and finally the deputy, u n d er pretext of looking a t tho card th a t had been th row n in to th e .hat, picked the h a t up. ,

“ M. H oussaye,” ho said, “ wo a re from the sam e tow n, a reason moro fo r ou r m eeting .” .

T hroughout Europe Ita lia n title s of no* b lllty do no t enjoy a very h igh reputation , so m uch so th a t as a general ru le a mere A ustrian baron Is m ore h ighly considered than an Ita lian piarquis. .Ono explana­tion of th is fac t is th a t m any of theso Ita l­ian nobles w ith h igh sounding handles to tholr nam es ire n o t In a very enviable financial situation . M any astounding in ­stances m ay bo cited of Ita lian dukes and counts who occupy th e s trangest positions abroad. Som e aro coachmon, others hotel porters, ono is an in te rp rete r i n a ,ra ilw ay B tation, ano ther is a bu tlo r in tho fam ily of a n A m erican m illionaire. In New Y ork there Is a well, know n I ta lia n coun t w ho has ru n an elevator, fo r several years past. In southern Italy , w here poverty Is greater than In o ther portions of tho peninsula, tho g rea t nol?le fam ilies aro compelled to resort to tbo m ost ex traordinary s tra ta ­gems to save appearances. In Naples poor no bio fam ilies have adopted a system of m u tua l carriages and horses w hich is som ewhat curious. Five o r six fam ilies agree to pay the expenses of a luxurious establishm ent, 'generally a ,four-in-hand, w ith coachman mid footm en. The car­riage door w ith the various coats o f arm s of the' d ifferent fam ilies is.algne changed, according to the fam ily w hich uses the carriage. On g^eat occasions these fam ­ilies draw lots to see w hich shall: use tbe carriage and hofsea. ■' , *

Tho m an who wishes to bear a prlnce’s crown m ust pay $8,000 to th e governm ent, to bocomo a duke $6,000 Is sufficient, for* $5,000 ono m ay bo a m arqu is and for $4,7 000 a count, $2,400 is sufficient to become a baron and $ 1^000 for the^ sim ple prefix

I t is hardly neccssary to add th a t the p roud old Ita lian aris tocra ts look down w ith th o g reatest contem pt on these p ar­venu, noblemen, w hether oreated by the k ing o r tho pope. These proud Ita lia n aristocrats of ancien t lineage, such.as tho Colonna, thoB orghese, the O rsin io f Rome, tho StrOzzljof &lorcnco and tho Visconte of Milan,, donsider themselves, vastly su ­perior to thti m ost ancienf nobles.of Franco and G reat B rita in and tfie equals o f m ost royal families.

ADVCflTIBINQ RATES ON APPLICATION

MONDAY, JU N E 27, 1898.

W i l l th e p o ’ice com m ittee kindly in * form us as to thetechn ical differencp, so. far as nerve splitting sound i» concerned, of the noise which emanates from a d rum and from a cornet?

T j i i 1 1 cwfce the 120th ann iver­sary of the battle of Mon month. The occasion should not pass w ithout appro­priate observance. This is a good tim e to celebrate, past victories I t will in ­crease our enthusiasm for later day oc­currences. ’

T h e fire a t the W indsor hotel yeater day m orning is another *1>roof of th e danger of allowing electric transform ers to be attached directly to the build ing, for any nccident to the transfor mer is almost sure to result in a blaze.' Council has refusad to allow them to be attached to the poles supporting <the wire, but it seem s'that it is a m atter of choice between endangering property and obstructing the streets and poles w ith these unsightly machines.

T h e m anagers of the sum m er services in Ocean U foveareen titled tocon^ra tu lations for the**excellent s ta rt given the exercises in the various departm ents yesterday. There was a completeness about everything th a t was decidedly agreeable- We have heard in th e p rs t the executive ability of Bishop Fitz­gerald, the new president. Yesterday witnessed the guiding han d of one who has a thorough grasp of all the details of the vast undertaking, and a t th e same tim e th e continuance of the policy in­augurated by his illustrious and honored predecessor, Dr. E. H. Stokes, now deceased. I

S a t u r d a y last m ight tru ly be said to be the opening of the sum m er season. All the large hotels are now open and rapidly filling with guests. The excess

■ ively hot w eather cf the past few days is sta rting the rush se%ward sooner than it would otherwise have done. The

T dw indling of the w ar scare to a mere shadow finds m any who would o ther­wise have gone abroad, still in th e ir hot city homes, and w ith the season so far advanced they will scarcely plan to do aught but . visit the honj« w atering places. Anbury Park , we may tru th ­fully say, has prospects for a big hotel

' .season, and nothing but cold w eather during Ju ly and August can keep the people from th is most delightful resort.

. . T h e D a i l y P r e s s mnkes its how to the public this morning* for the tw elfth season" as"^Tffirorn in g ^ j ^ e ^ u n d ^ h QpeJ? to give th e people belter service than

ever before. "It c e r ta in iv h iis a Jargercirculation and more liberal advertising patronage. The season is propitious, and as the only m orning paper in the field, we hope to supply every w ant as a newspaper, and a t the same tim e please as many as possible, The change to m orning paper may interfere fo r a short tim e w ith our general news service, bu t we are^negotiating fo ra full telegraphic report as a substitute for plate and bul­letin service. These changes we are sure will be heartily approved by all our readers, as ftvery Improvement in th e past has b«*n. The P r e s s this season will have all the news, local and foreign, and it will be in every case th e latest obtainable for its motto is ' ’News while

it is new s,” and_not jvhen it ha& becomehistory.- . -

T H E IN S U R A N C E K A T E .‘ P ro p e rty owners in Asbury P ark and Ocean Grove will ...be pleased ..to learn th a t a uniform reduction on th e estab- ltshed insurance rate of 10 per cent, has been granted on all property. This re diiction is due to the efforts of th e com­

. m ittee of th e board of trade arid the co operation of the local insurance agents, who have made several trips to Phila­delphia to present the m atter to the U nderw riters’ association of th e m iddle

' departm ent. This endorsement of the board of trade’s , movement for a lower insurance rate should be appreciated by our property owners, for it. means a 10 per cent.-reduction in their gross in ­come from w riting insurance.

- W e are assured by the local insuranceagents th a t the ra te in Asbury P ark and Oc&an Grove is now lower th an in any o ther seaside resort in America. I f th is be tru e it 1b certainly a fine tr ib u te to th e efficiency of cour volunteer fire de­partm ent. . ••

• The 10 per cent, reduction w ill be am aterial relief to our business m en, who have found their insurance bills a heavy burden.

... \ There w ill be some disappointm ent be cause the reduction was n o t as great as origin tftty asked* nam ely 1-8 per dent.,bu t w e believp th e grea ter num ber w ill feel th a t th e in su ra n ts com panies w ill have less reason for, ra ising th e ra te In

sight worth going far.to see.Ocean Grove’s well, Beersheeba, did good

service for the thirsty crowds yesterday.0( ean Grove will, have flue Fourth of

July exercises on Sunday and Monday. The program will be given in the. PRESS this week. .*•, E. P. Pridham Is the officer thfs year pn

duty about the big auditorium. He takes the place of F. X. Gall, whose sudden death occurred some timo ago.

The auditorium win not have any service therein this week until the concert of pa­triotic music next Saturday night. I t will be open daily, however, for inspection.

J. T. Hoffecker, past m aster workman and receiver of Diamond Lodge, No. 9, A. O. U. W „ of Dover, Del., and a trustee c>f the Grand ledgo of Delaware, Is attending the Supreme lodtfe, now In session In As­bury Park. While here he Is located a t the Norman House.

The Juvenile Mlpslon band will give an entertainment and Japanese fan drill Thnradny evening next in the Young Peo­ple’s temple. Twelve pretty girls will give ti Japanese fan drill, attired In Japanese costumes. Tf;eband is supporting girls inforeign m issionary lands.

The audttorium choir will meet in the auditorium tomorrow (Tuesday) night a t 8 o'clock, to rehearse the music for the patri­otic Service next Saturday night. Director Morgan wants all singers who will to come and lend their serv leas to the grand choruses to be learned for Saturday night.

Speakers In tho auditorium should take polntB from Bishop Fitzgerald When he talks everybody hears what he says. He speMks slowly and distinctly—not fast enough to make his ntterances jumble to­gether in unlntelJlgble sounds in the vast space of the auditorium—but so th a t every­body can underBt<»nd5iIm. The auditorium Is a poor pl>*co for a poor speaker.

Tho auditorium choir was reorganized and put upon a working basis Saturda; night Mualc for yesterday was rehearsed, and the efforts of the choir were successful TbtJv occupy new raised seats a t the left of the big organ. The change is an improve­ment. Another Improvement would be to have soloists, when accompanied by the big organ, stand near the Instrument.

Mrs. Virginia Clark of Flemington, N. J , Is spending her vacation a t the Norman Honse. Mrs Clark was managing nurse of the Second Corps hospital a t City Point, Pa., during tho civil war, and her enthusi­asm and willingness to enter the service has caused her to again enroll her name, in case of need, to go to the front and nurse the boys wounded In the present war with Spain. _______ _

How sorry we aro for them!If tbls announcement reaches the eves of any

Asbury Park has no lack of facilities for the amusement and diver- tisement of visitors, no matter, what may be the predilection of the sojourner. Scores of hotels during the summer season have dances almost nightly, card parties, tennis playing and all social amusements. Public amusement places for people of all ages are open all summer.

For those seriously inclined there are churches of every denomi­nation, frequent lectures, concerts and literary entertainments. The surf bathirig-is the best in the world; the fishing and boating are unexcelled.

The early part o f October witnesses the departure o f the greater part of the vast throng that for lour months has promenaded th e broaa plaza, bathed in ocean and pool, danced in a Bcore of ballrooms, boated on the lakes and gos- sipped on hotel and cottage piazzas. Most of the large hotels close their, doors, although a numlrer continue open until November. The cot­tagers, however, remain much later; some o f them far in to November.

For five o r six months, dating from Noyem- ber, the town is not unlike other towns of good size scattered throughout the country. The perm anent winter population o f Asbury Park and her suburbs vanes from five to seven thou­sand peraons. The commercial business is very good ; an increasing trad e ' r a n the sur­rounding country keeping the shop keepers moderately busy.

I t is needless to recite the ordinary advan­tages and attractions o f the town as a place of winter residence. Suffice to say that A sbury, Park’s stores, h e r banks, her schools, hejr theatres, and her churches are a ll up to the standard. The railroad and Btreet car service is good, the mail and telegraph facilities per­fect, and in short there is lacking none of the la tter day improvements for enjoying life that th e average American now considers indiapen&- able. . .

I t is a popular fallacy w ith those unac­quainted with the facta th a t th is shore is a very bleak and barren spot during th e days th a t the Ice King holds sway. Suqk . is not th e tru th . On the contrary, the average tem perature is about four degrees warmer than New York. The cold north and northwest winds are broken by the hills west o f the town. Snow seldom remains longer than twenty-four hours, and a long spell o f cold, hard weather is a rarity. .

Yet, notw ithstanding th e proximity to the oc.-an, the ah is comparatively dry and cer- ta ily very invigorating. The sandy soil and tb abundance o f balsamic pines in the near ne ^uborhood are responsible tor this. Invalid* a u J persons in poor health gain strength daily, and each succeeding year witnesses more and more the fact that our fame'HS a health resort i t soon bound to rival th e town’s pleasure prop­erties.

There is much going on here in winter. U v» social organizations furnish sufficient entertain , m eut. Public m eetings o f various kinds are held. The society i* o f th e best, and there it no lack o f charm ing company. W hile the town is devoid o f excitem ent there is no stag­nation, and every one finds enough to occupy his tim e profitably and pleasantly. One never- failing source o f pleasure and recreation is the ocean and boardwalk. Many prefer th e ocean In winter. To look a t its blue waters now a t they roll in upon the sands and surround the thousands o f joyous, careless bathers, one would never im agine that these sam e waters could in a few hours develop such force and fury as to endanger the strong bulkheads and piling, and draw thousands to witness their orgies. Dur­ing a storm every one able to do so tu rns out to see the m ighty struggle of old Neptune. Clad in rubber from head to foot, men, women and children station themselves alone the boardwalk or in sheltered nooks in the pavilions and gaze upon the troubled waters. The cry of “ a wreck ’ is all th a t is necessary to bring out every m ale citizen, even though it be in darkest night. T he brave life-savers never lack for volunteer assistance, and the w riter has on m any occasions lent a band in th e work of bringing to shore the shipwrecked m ariners.

But it is not only in Ume of storm that the ocean is worth visiting. On clear, cool days such as are common here in th e m onths of De­cember, January and February, m any scores of people promenade th e boardwalk or s it for hours wrapped in great coats an d furs and gaze out on the never-ending Bea. Invalids in their easy chairs, propelled by. their trusty servants, ride along tbe beach and d rink in tbe purest and most ihmg rating air upon God's footstool.

ASBURY PAR VISIT®

Asbury Park has no lack of facilities for the amusement and diver- tisement of visitors, no matter, what may be the ‘’predilection of the sojourner. Scores of hotels during the summer season have dances almost nightly, card parties, tennis playing and all social amusements. Public amusement places for people of all ages, are open all summer.

For those seriously inclined there are churches of every denomi­nation, frequent lectures, concerts and literary entertainments. The surf bathing is the best in the world; the fishing and boating are unexcelled.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon the fact that Asbury Park is both a summer and winter resort. The climate is such that the town is a

' delightful place of residence all the year. A number of hotels fitted and furnished for winter guests,remain open the entire year; a sun parlor has been built at Fifth avenue for the use of winter residents, and the town is becoming popular as a winter home. A few of the advantages of Asbujy Park are briefly indicated on th i s page, withjriuch valuable in­formation in condensed form,

ASBURY PARK IN WINTER.The early part o f October witnesses the

departure of the greater part 6f the vast throng that for lo u r m onths has promenaded the broad plaza, bathed in ocean and pool, danced in a score o f ballrooms, boated on the lakes and gos- sipped on hotel and cottage piazzas.

Y the inauguration of another summer season we respectfully submit to our

patrons and the public in general for their kind consideration the following facts, namely:

That the Steinbach Company operates three large stores, which means being in position to offer goods at equally low piices, and in many instances lower than city houses. '

, That no watering placa in the United States can equal' the accommodations to the shopping public-that we have.

That we carry large stocks, equal to city houses, and in point of service are anxious to p.lease the public. l

In view of the above facts we earnestly solicit their pat ronage during their sojourn in our city or our neighboring resorts. .

Our several large departments are compiete. Our prices' 25 per cent, below any other county store..

1 2 n o T T ^ T G r ‘W ' o ^ c m x s t 12Will call upon the ladies in Asbury Park within the next few days.

Their purpose will be to provide those who have not already one of our Trading Stamp books for the reception of GREEN TRADING STAMPS, and explain the inducements offered by so many .of our representative merchants. It is well known by many, but not so clearly understood by some, that in exchange for Green Trading Stamps, the variety of articles offered was never so great nor of such high standard. The assortment of chairs, tables, onyx stands, desks, banquet lamps, vases, pitchers, mirrors, china and cut . glass is most complete. Green Trading Stamps are discount for cash. You are entitled to them. A retailer receives a discount for cash when he buys of the producer. If he gives credit, his capital is absorbed by his customersft nd he cannot take advantage of the cash discount, besides the inevitable loss he sustains by reason of bad debts. Therefore if you p$y him cash you are entitled to Green Trading Stamps the same as he is discount when he pays cash. Nearly 10,000 TRADING STAMP COLLECTORS in Asbury Park and vicinity speak volumes for the popularity, fairness and honesty of onr methods, and the high grade of our goods given in exchange for Green Trading Stamps. . ’ . .

1,AS A SPECIAL INDUCEMENT f6r one week commencing JUNE 20th, to those who are collecting Green Trading Stamps, we will give $1.00 worth, 10 stamps, free on presentation of their stamp book, be sure you bring your book with you. Also to those, who have not heretofore been collecting Green Trading Stamps, we will give a Trading Stanip hook containing $1.00 worth of stamps free. Buy where the dollar goes the furthest—where hangs the sign, WE GIVE GREEN TRADING STAMPS ,
