TTIR OMAII/V / DAILY T3EE SUNDAY , AUGUST 12 , IflOt SOCIETY'S ' MIDSUMMER SONC A Weary of tbo Heat and Longing for Autumn. GLORIES OF THE HAMMOCK AND THE FAN IVIint I * Talked About Dcuplte August' * Jlliizn Clmt on thu VoramU Tlio llutimii ii : > l > mid 1'low 1'cople Hero and Tlioro. Summer glides along and autumn , the year's lovclle.it smile , will soon be upon us During the weeks past when the air has been hushed and heavy with the heat , and the leaves have hung listless from their stems those who , from necessity or choice , have re mained In thi' city have longed to hold com munion with nature , and have yearned with all their hearts for the cool , deep woods "where pallid flowers show dimly througl the dusk of leafy bowers. " Even our heart springs have been alow , and have seemed to be running dry. With dulled brains am minds , whose strength has drooped and wanei with the coming of the "dog days , " we have craved the going of the birds that were our summer guests , and pined for the coming ol the goldenrod and asters. It Is a pleasant fiction of the poets that the gifts of nature In all her seasons nro frco to every one. "No price Is set on the lavish summer ; June may be had by the poorest comer. " But Juno In the city and June In the country ore toe widely different matters , and not to be had nt the same price. Green fields and waving trees , blue skies unsullied by smoke or dust , rippling water , unpolluted air and God's own mmshlno are about the most expensive things the heart of man or woman can desire. With the delicious taste of Indian summer , with which wo will soon bo blessed , will como a renewing of strength and energy and a revival of Interest In worldly affairs. Ono popular young matron has had the courage to hint the posjlbllily of giving In the near future a garden party and afternoon dance , and an other suggested to her hospitable husband the giving of a moonlight fete champctre within the splendid grounds that surround hla West Farnam street mansion. The delightful possibilities of the latter form of entertain ment make It an affair devoutly to be wished ' for. A Dlost Delightful Illrthdiiy I'irty , A most delightful birthday party was given by Mlsc Cora Carson at her home on North Thirty-fifth street last Friday evenIng - Ing to a large company of her friends. The early part of the evening was devoted to a number of games of every description , and every ono enjoyed them. About half past 10 an order came for every one to come In the house and be seated. This was fol lowed by refreshments , served by Misses Carson , Landrock , Rlggs and Mr. William Knopp. There were bountiful refreshments of the most delicious character. This was followed by Indoor games until a late hour , when the guests began to depart for their homes , all feeling that they were unable to thank Miss Carson enough for the good time that they hud had , and wishing her many more birthdays ns happy as this. one. Miss Carson was presented with numerous presents by her friends , with whom she Is very popular. Miss Carson leaves In a few days for a visit In northern Nebraska , and many were the wishes given for her to have a good time while on her visit.

In thu Ihtyn of ChUnlrjr. To the young and romantic , who take their Ideas from the lays of the bard , the thoughts suggested by the word "chivalry" are delightful and they sigh regretfully over their sad lot In having to llvo In this prosaic nineteenth century. All Is not gold that { litters , and distance lends enchantment to cho view , so perhaps It Is as well to know what history says about these far-off golden days. In spite of the poets , marriages. If they over were a failure , csrtalnly were In the much-lauded days of chivalry ; for , as a rule , they were not the outcome of love , and , therefore , conjugal fidelity was hardly to bo expected. In the reign Of King John marriage was simply a matter of bargain and sale , and natural Inclination and affection had noth ing to do with the matter. Sir Alonzo the Brave might bo victor In any number of tournaments , hoping thereby to win the hand of his love , but till ho had obtained the con sent of his sovereign for a very high con sideration ho might sigh for her In vain. Sir Porclval was a tenant of lands and a chattel of the king , and therefore ho was a piece of mcrchamllso to bo made the most of In the niarrlago market. That ho loved Uio fair Imogens , who In return was devoted to him , was nothing In the eyes of the law or the king. Hud not Sir Philip Fitz Stephen offered the king a largo sum of money and other presents as well to have the custody of the lands of Sir Porclval till ho should como of ago and marry with the consent of tha king and archbishop ? In this way tha luckless Sir Perclval was torn from the sweet Imogono and made to wed & brlda of the house of Fltz Stephen , no matter how much ho might dislike her. In the highest ranks vast sums wore spent < ji the marrlago market , and from It the Ulng obtained a considerable revenue. A Hayrack Purty. Ono of the most enjoyable hayrack parties of the week was given Wednesday evening by n Jolly young crowd of North Omaha and all were armed with big tin horns and locust whistles , and If they didn't fill the air with music It was the fault of the horns and not the ones that wcro blowing them. After arriving nt their destination and partaking of some of that fragrant Florence air the jolly crowd began Indulging In outdoor games and talking about their Journey. This was prscodcd by dainty lunches served , by a number of the young ladles. Now , hero Is whuro the fun came In. After the crowd had got rested they started o.omownrd. All along the route from Flor- jnco and through the city the jolly crowd 7ns bursting their lungs with tholr tin Jorns , just to see how miserable they could make Ufa for these dreamers who wcro trying to get a good night's r.'nt. But of course If they couldn't steep they could have the pleasure of hearing a good loud corcert all for nothing and have something now to dream about the rest of the night. When tha Palace stables weru reached the Jolly crowd began to depart for their homes happy as larks. These taking part In the fun wcro ; Misses Mnblo Flood , Maud Mo- Kee.

How to Woo tlu < Sweut ItcstoriT. "I have been wakefully considering the wooing of 'nature's sweet restorer' of late , " said a rather nervous woman , "and J find that there Is nothing so good , after all , as lighting a candle and reading mild fiction , which soothes and distracts the mind with out exciting It. Any specifics for sleepless ness I should carefully avoid , as In the end they are sure to bring trouble. A big bed for a sleepless person Is a necessity , for It gives unrestrained change of position. A warm bath at night with a good rubbing Is also most bo-efic'al , and co Is a waUr cracker eaten to draw the blood from the head ; but beware of employing artificial means of In ducing slep. Any drug Is bound to lese Its effect soon or late , and it entails eventually much greater discomfort. This Is a truth that has taken mo years to learn ; but now that I have discarded everything of the sort , I find that although I shall never be what Is called a sound sleeper , by calling phil osophy to my aid and accepting the situation , I really suffer less from sleeplessness than I used to do when I tried everything that was suggested to mo. " I.ovcirs for DlfTorrnt Spmon.i , Do you note the cool appearing and even tempered girl during the hot and sultry summer days , and do .you know how It is that she Is able to maintain this degree of composure while others of her acquain tance are continually fretful and complain ing ? If you would like to know and profit by It , I will tell you. There nro two gentlemen , of widely dif ferent temperaments , who nro paying ar dent attention to her. One Is of a quarrel some , nagging disposition , and who seems to delight In his petty , vexatious remarks , which Is liable to produc ; an uneasiness and soreness of heart , she very generously gives him n vacation lasting through the summer. When the first of July appears she gently requests "Harry" to case his attentions until September , when his rival , who Is exceedingly calm and cool In his demeanor , gets the field , and with his Icy chlllncss manages to surround her with an atmos phere of rcposo and tranqulllty. Happy mortal ! Isn't she ? to have the two so widely different one for the hot spell of summer the other for the cold of winter.

All who arc familiar with the geography of tlieso parts know that with two or three lakes there are many "points and beaches" all of which have attracted Omaha people this season , when so many circumstances have combined to keep them near home. The largest contingent , I am told , Is to bo found here , and It Is uf these dwellers In tents that I would write. The pavilion where we are fed , and where dances , concerts , etc. , are held , Is the only large building on the point , and surrounded by handsome oaks , greets one on arrival. Immediately In the rear lies the lake , ami on Its banks the sojourncrs have established themselves. In the first tent , with a lovely outlook , will be found Mr. and Mrs. Moore , comfortably fixed , and with their two sons spend much of their time on the water. The first cottage contains the family of Mr. Krcldcr of Omaha. He Is nwny now , but his wife manipulates with equal skill a rowboat - boat nnd a family of five bright , active children. "Tho Reveries" comes next , nm although It has been written up , the occu pants have played so large a part In the social llfo I must speak of them : Mrs. Col- peizer Is In charge , and has surrounded her self at all times with charming girls , the Misses Damn , Cady , Palmer , Andreson , and her own daughter. Mrs. C. has the requi sites of a successful chuperone good spirits good health nnd generosity , nml while her charges are given much latitude , the pro prieties arc always observed. The number of knights attendant does not compare with tlic following these young ladles have al home , but has been sufficient to give them a "real Jolly time. " Mr. nnd Mrs. Cady were here for ten days and all were sorry to sec them leave. CrossIng - Ing a rustic bridge there ore , some distance apart , two cottages owned and occupied by Messrs. Damn and Patterson with their fami lies. Their wives , with Mrs. Wilhelm , their guest , seem more like sisters taking younger children out for a good time rather than mothers with their charges. Mrs. Mulfori : and her mother occupy the first tent In the row and , having a spare room , have been so fortunate as to have It occupied first by Mr. E. S , Dundy , jr. , for some days and since by Mr. Clapp , well known Omaha citizens. Next door Mr. and Mrs. Dan Wheeler have been keeping house , and here , as at home , have been leading spirits In every scheme for enjoyment. There was a loud protest when he announced that he must leave. Mrs. W. remains and has with her a bright , merry sister , who seems to enjoy everything. A party of young men from different places have found lodgings In the next tent and by day and well Into the night have given them selves to providing fun for the girls and themselves. They are on the water or In It during the day and at night cither steam away to a dance at a neighboring point or Invite those living around to a dance here. Messrs. Bert Wheeler and Farnam Smith of Omaha , with Mr. George Patterson of North Platte ( and at home from West Point for a furlough ) left , I hear , some sore hearts when they said "Goodby" last night ; but they also left Messrs. Smith , Dawcs , Johnson , Marshal and Clai > k of Lincoln and Clark of Des Molnes , n Jolly crow , -to heal them. Their nearest neighbor Is ono of Llnclon's society matrons , Mrs. Burr , who has made warm friends of these , knights by the bevy of very attractive girls who compose her household. These are her daughter and friends , Misses Norman nnd Carson'and a nelce , Miss Ber- tlo Burr , who received a medal some time ago for saving the lives ol two or more girls under circumstances requiring not only ex pert swimming , but daring and courage as well. And now we come to the last tent In point of location , where Mr. and Mrs. Ken nedy have established their Lares and Pena tes and added to their well won popularity by having with them Misses Josle Stanton and Marion Day. school girls still , but by the number of young men In their wake give an earnest of what may us expected when they are "out. " For a few days past they have had an ally In Miss Mae Bartlett. Mr. Dawcs , Miss Burr and Mr. and Mrs. Hamil ton , a ve/y popular couple from York , left a large vacancy and one not to be filled , I fear. SOJOURNER. A Mmlonl bprvlcc. Rev.

IN NORTHWEST NEBRASKA. Outlook for the FurmcrM Uhrnp Irrigation Method \VIII Hit Tried. The real condition of affairs In the agri cultural counties , of Nebraska , and espe cially in the northwest , Is a matter of some conjecture , and consequently accurate Information mation from reliable sources Is eagerly sought for. Mr. Royal Hudspeth of Atlantic , la. , passed through , Omaha yesterday after noon on his way home from an extended tour through northwest Nebraska. Ho states that In Cherrv. Brown- and Rock counties the farmers have been rewarded by nt least a half crop of grain , corn and hay. They are securing fair prices for their hay and are shipping large quantities outside of their counties. But for the fact that they are com pelled to sell their crop In order to pay debts incurred last peason the fanners 'in these three counties would bo well fixed for the winter. In Holt county there Is also about half a crop. In Pierce and Knnx tlio crop Is about one-fourth of what It would have been under favorable circumstances , while In Antelope and Keya Palm th Tcrops are a total failure. The destitution In jibese counties Is already apparent and prompt efforts will be necessary to prevent actual distress. The farmers have nothing to sell , nothing to feed their stock and nothing to feed their families. In Cherry. Brown and Rock counties the farmers believe that they have discovered a means to practical Irrigation at a light ex pense. It has been discovered that underly ing these three counties there Is an inex haustible supply of sheet water , very similar to the water sheet in some portion of the South Platte country between the Platte and Republican rivers. This sheet water can be reached at a depth of from fifteen to twenty feet. By constructing reservoirs In the natural draws and ba&lns water can bo obtained and stored by the use of wind mills In sufficient quantities to enable every farmer to Irrigate his own crops , with no annual expense for water rights , etc. A large number of farmers will experiment with this form of Irrigation during the com ing season. A number have already con structed Irrigating plants. The expense Is about | 300 for a windmill and reservoir that will Irrigate forty acres. A number of artesian wells have also been put down in Cherry county , a never-ending stream being In each case secured at a depth of 160 feet. The wells are powerful enough to force the water to a height of fifteen feet above the surface of the ground. An ar tesian well can bo put down for about J100. A mntn j.v TIME. OMAHA , Aug. 11. To the Editor of The Boo : Wo hoped when wo founded this day nursery about eight years ago that some good souls would "remember us In their will" or bestow upon us a fund sufilclent to en able us to carry forward the plan so well be gun , but no such blessing has fallen to us and wo are now out of money the weather too warm to make any entertainment suc cessful therefore wo appeal to our friends for donations of money , food and clothing. Our sewing society will make all material Into garments , such as muslin , gingham , calico nnd Manuel.

QUAINT LONG ISLAND RESORT Wlioro Surroundings Arc All Ati'iqiiu ' and Tcmbatonos Are Centuries Old. ARTISTS' RLTREAT AND TOURISTS' ' MECCA A Delightful Ilitrliur of ItoU for Wrnrj Itnilin 1'olki Who Won't "Ki-rji JIounliTs" lint "llnvn I'ompiiny" Other I.oral Kr Queer , quaint , quiet East Hampton ! II In the artist's retreat , tlio tourist's mccca , tlio tired man's haven. I would emphasize It as u place where there la rest for the weary brain , a soothing balm for the Ir ritable nerve , and Insomnia , that tyrant which makes tlio business man crow old before hit time , falls to llnd u footing here ami sleep comes itnwoocd. The air Is loaded with oxygen , and ozone , nature's great re storers , borne- landward by the breezes from old ocean's bounding billows and the In- llucnco of these agents produces tlio sweet est , most restful sleep for those who have In vain craved the gilts of Morpheus nt home. For tlio newcomer to sit down , even In the daytime , means to go to sleep , and hero and there In hammock or chair will hi * found fast asleep those who greatly need such rest. And then such nights for slccpl Cool enough for double blankets , with de lightfully refreshing brcc7.cs , while the ocean surf breaks all night long to form a lullaby as soothing to tired nerves as a mother's crooning to a frtitful babe. Such sleep ! As If the ova had barely como be fore 'twas morn. You wake re newed In every fiber and wonder what the monster , neurasthenia , was at home. Such morbid and life-exhausting conditions as Insomnia and nervous prostration cannot long uxist In tlio health-giving atmosphere of East Hampton. And where Is tills El Dorado for the neur- nsthcnlquc ? Near tlio eastern end of Long Island , and on the Atlantic nlde. In round numbers It Is 100 miles from New York to Hrldgehampton , and covered by the fast trains of the Long Island railroad In thrco hours. By stage or private transportation a farther drive of sl < c miles and you are In East Hampton. To the westerner It is unique. Antique In very fact , Its buildings old and gray , vine-clad and moss-covered. You visit dwellings and sit before broad fireplaces built over 200 years ago , and drink from wells dug by tlio compatriots of the Pilgrim fathers. The very atmosphere is laden with legend and history of Wash ington and the revolution , of Captain Kldd and his mOrry band , of famous men and women. H ro was the boyhood home of John Howard Payne , whose "Homo. Sweet Home , " Is typlllcd by one of the quaintest old houses imaginable. Like many of Its kind , It has a long sloping roof on one side , the house entlrly covered with shingles , old , gray and moss-covered , Innocent of paint or cornice , with no two windows of the same size , on the same line or superimposed , It stands gable end to the street , like Its companions , and lias reached that appearance In Us life where age no longer grows old. It will be reverently pointed out as the "Home , Sweet Home" of onr Irresponsible , unfortunate , but merry songster for a century or two yet to come. Here also was the homo of the Bcecher family , and where nearly all the children , excepting Henry Ward , were born. Tlio queer old structures with their un- palntcd shingle sides arc S3 much admired that the modern buildings are patterned after them. It takes form seven to ten years to get the antique effect on tlio shingles ind the owner of such an ancient young house Is as happy over Ills deceit as a young doctor with a battered , weather-beaten old sign bearing his name. Exterior paint has thus far been a rarity , and in case where a few Innovations In tlio shape of semi-nonde script houses In gaudy yellows , with green blinds , etc. , have obtruded themselves on an otherwise harmonious whole , they appear as Incongruous ds a young lady at a theater wearing the only fcu-de-dlable dress In the audience. It makes one with sensitive nerves feel like saying : Oh , don't do that ! East Hampton Is an ideal resort for the artist , and the fact Is borne out In its being the summer home of so many. Thomas Moran 1ms a summer cottage , on the principal street , that is beautiful enough to be an artist's hope realized. Its shingle-covered sides are just assuming that quiet gray of aso which Is so restful to the eye , and great masses of roses and honeysuckle have clambered over the walls until they are lit erally vine-embowered. A delightful hour was spent with the host and hostess. Mr. Moran was at once Interested In Omaha , having seen our city when It was but a village , devoid of all these qualifications which now go to make It the Important city it Is. He saw Omaha when he made Ms first western trip to paint the wonders of the Rockies as no other painter has suc ceeded In doing. His atelier ( I like that word better than studio , as It sounds more artistic ) was strewn with pictures of our west. Among his latest are paintings of the Yellowstone park In colors ! > o gaudy as to make their unexpected and seemingly unreal tinting second only to the reality of that strange region. Mrs. Thomas Moran , who etches over the name "M. Nlmmo Moran , " is an artist of merit and whoso etchings dis played at the World's fair brought her a llattcrlng recognition. Slio is a delightful entertainer and I can conceive of nothing more enjoyable to a lover of art than a visit to this Ideal homo of the artist. All the Morans arc hero during the summer. Among the artists who make East Hamp ton tholr summer homo are C. Y. Turner , the marine painter , who sold his painting "On the Beach at East Hampton" for $30- 000. Other artists are St. John Harper , Howard Russel Duller , O'Donahue , Herter , and others. Old Dutch windmills that go pose as models for the artists ns well as to grind grist for the farmers. Don Quixote would hero have had full opportunities to try his trusty Icnce , for these old time , eccentric looking affairs abound everywhere. Tlio very trees are artistic In their appearance , some or them the oddest , crookedest , fuzziest growths Imaginable. Their branches seemed to change their minds so often about the direction of growing that they have left In their paths limbs as crooked as tlio testi mony of a witness In tlio hands of an Omaha barrister. The sand dunes , running Ilka giant earthworks thrown up for * Titans' battle grounds , tire covered with baybcrry. Tlio rich , llcsliy leaves of olive green hue. massed with wild rases in a profusion of bloom , producis an effect Indescribably har monious and beautiful. It scorns that nature In running wlh1 has devoted all her efforts towards artistic ends. As in all well regulated villages of ancient date , they have their cemetery , and I made an early visit to enjoy the graves. To us of the now west , it Is quite Impressive to find an American- grave dated 1C08 , for that means the deceased knew tlio Pilgrims and possibly was one of them. Tlio headstones of the earliest graves are of a reddish sand stone , and these of later data arc of slato. The recent ones arc of the omnipresent white marble , and * do not possess the Interest or charm to the tourist of the first. The most conspicuous grave Is the tomb of Lion Gardner , to whom was given , Bomo ! ! 00 years ago , the Island which bears his name , and ho was made ruler of It. The tomb Is a canopy covered marble bier , on which lies suplno the effigy of a knight armed cap-a-pie , with vlsjr down and hands joined In prayer , asleep till judgment day. Escutcheons bearing the coat of arms of the dead knight are carved In marble , and go lo tell us of u life In times that were great of history and are gone , never to bo Imitated In our country. Such men wcro of history and we read of tholr lives In walking with the dead. Religion Is well represented by several churches , and New York clergymen own cottages In East Hampton and make It their summer homo. Rev. T. DoWItt Talmago Is ono of them and owns a pleasant cottage near the sea , Rov. John Paxton , who bccamn so suddenly and widely known through per forming the last marriage ceremony for the wlin hut over-lnlluenccd Willy C. P. Ilrcck- Inrldso , has a summer cottage hnro and loavea his elcgiint Now York church and charge for a summer's rest at East Hampton. I hud the pleasure of a hearty handstmko from him , and should consider him a gentle man of great personal force and magnetism. Politics seemed llttlo discussed and the tourist Is usually too much Interested In selfish enjoyment to care how things go at Washington or elsewhere- look the trouble to ask a native on my arrival It Hast Hamp ton was a "dry" town. "Dry ! " he exclaimed , "Why , It hasn't rained hero for more than a month. " I did not enlarge upon my question , but I quietly found nut later on that It was "dry. " 1 felt a little satisfaction In knowing thai If my language wan not comprehensible to a Long l.il.imlcr It was to an lownn , and that speech wns at best but an expression of locality. Every facility offers Itself for the en joyment of aquatic sports. Iargc Inland fresh water lakes , coining so near the ocean In places that the surf In high wind rolls Into them , gives opportunities for boating and ( lulling. Soft-shelled crabs In season nro plentiful , and It requires but a few minutes' work to get a basketful. Tlio lakes are dot ted with said boats and afford a safer sport for these who do not care to risk the ocean. Surf bathing Is the great enjoyment and hundreds may be seen braving the breakers. The shallow water near shore , and the miles of clean sand , make It the delight of chil dren. And It Is good for them. If our puny , delicate llttlo ones could have a summer nt the seashore , bathe In the salt water nml roll In the sand , It would bring n restitu tion of health to most of them. Ono peculiarity with the good people of East Hampton ; they never "keep boarders. " That Is a term which grates on the sensi tive ears and suggests an Idea of di-pcnd- ence. Hut they "havo company , " and under that appellation they will cater to the wants of their guests with every Interest for the welfare of the stranger. The ocean fur nishes Its Important quota of supplies for the table , fresh caught the same morning. Dine fish and lloundcrs , lobsters nml soft-shelled crabs , clams and shrimps , anything you want. I noticed but ono drawback In table supplies and that was unit's liver. The na- tlvu supply Is limited , the Imported article Is not tolerated , and so orders have to bo placed several days In advance that the people may take turns In having that deli cacy. One morning I heard the cook ask the butcher If wo could have calf's liver today. Ho replied : "Well , no , I am sorry , but Mrs. De Witt Talmags has It today and tomorrow It Is Mrs. Gnllatln's turn. Mrs. Heber Newton has It the next day , and the next day after that I will bring you some If you order It now. " Hut In spite of this drawback you will live well and bo con tented and happy. This country Is being rapidly settled up by these who deslro summer homes. Its con tiguity to Now York and Hrooklyn will make It possible to do business In these cities and spend the nights , or at least the Sun days , with the family nt the seashore. A railroad will soon be extended to this point , greatly facilitating rapid transit , Insuring the success and development of the place. East Hampton deservedly holds the prophesy of a very successful future. HORAC13J' . HOLMES , M. D. rniirtliinil llcacli Nciti'i. The Ames avcnuo bridge has been re- pa'red. There were over 400 In bathing last nlplit at ono time , most of this number being ladles. Nebraska lodge , K. P. , No. 1 , held a picnic yesterday nt Courtland , ending with a dance last evening. The zoological park has been changed to the north In order to make room for the Fall of Pompeii. " The scenery for the production of the "Fall of Pompeii , " which occupies several freight cars , will arrive In a day or so. Mr. Hunt , representing Mr. Paine of fire works fame , has arrived and will take charge of placing the scenery In position for the "Fall of "Pompeii. " Last evening was the banner Saturday night since the opening of the beach , the attendance being larger than on any Satur day night In the past two seasons. Mrs. James A. Griffiths and son , Aleck , have returned from Manltou and Colorado Springs , much to the delight of the manager cf Courtland , who had begun to look rather lonesome. Some dogs got Into a fight last night and tore the big star of colons all lo pieces , much to the disgust of 'he faithful old gen tleman who has put in the .summer coaxing It to grow. The Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy big ex cursion from Iowa to Omaha arrives today , and Courtland' Is prepared to handle as many thousands of the excursionists as may find It convenient to visit Omaha's summer re sort. sort.The The amphitheater for the "Fall of Pom- pell" is being pushed forward rapidly. It runs north and south , facing the cast at the cast end of Courtland. Manager Grif fiths selected this position so the smoke from the fireworks would not be driven Into the faces of the audience by the south winds which , from present indications , are likely to prevail. Today and tonight closes the lion and leopard performances. The regular beach patrons become tired of such extended en gagements as this has been , notwithstand ing the fact that the exhibitions given by both Pauline Nana and Prof. Rlccardo have been beyond criticism. "Enough Is as good as a feast" ordinarily , but strange as It may seem , the balloon ascension and parachute attraction Is appreciated as much as over. After nearly four weeks' daylight drillIng - Ing the artesian well Is down 550 feet. The first flow was struck at 425 feet , In nlno feet of sandstone. The water being 60 de grees temperature , was as clear as a crystal and came to the surface. It could not be exhausted by pumping , so It was shut oft by putting casing down below It , and at 455 feet the flow was duplicated , when an other strata of sandstone eighteen feet thick was found. As has been expected for the past few weeks , the lion family has been Increased. Yesterday thrco llttlo cubs put in an appear ance , and the mother Is as proud of her trip lets as one could Imagine. Tlio mother was not allowed to go through the usual per formance with the other lions last ovcnlng , but she will bo In both the afternoon and evening performances toiUy , and Manager Grllilths expects a largo attendance , as tills Is the last day that these animals will bo ut the beach this year.
