The benefits of the fair nights rest have been supplemented to-day by improved conditions made possible by the cl* r. jet I w eather.

BEYER, Physician and Surgeon, Punxsutawney, Pa. Fishing excursions are very popular with the summer visitors. A party of three ladies on one the other day came back with a story of having caught four hundred and seventeen weak-fish, The oldest and best developed fish story teller of the native population shivered as he heard this talc, and, going out, wept quietly for half an hour. A local paper yesterday mentioned that a lady, a guest at one of the hotels, wore si) well-fitting a bathing suit with h?r red stockings that she was universally admired. To-clay '!'■< different ladies came to the beach by way of that hotel, and all wore cardinal stockings. The men couldn't tell which was the which. Taste in bathing suits at the Cape this year runs towards the old quiet blues and grays. Dark blue, set off with narrow red braid, and cut ever so little to lit the figure, is the favorite. A novelty in surfcaps is a sort of oilcloth sunshade of bright blue or red, but for attractiveness the red handkerchief, tastefully knotted into the hair, takes the palm. A new and very tasteful notion is the wearing of collars in the surf—Not the white lace frills around the neck, but real still white collars, fastened at the throat with a little pin, or sometimes with a x-ed rosebud securely pinned on. The little device sets of the cos- i tume wonderfully. The collars are I made of some material that does not ! "wilt" in the breakers, and are as neat 1 and cool around the throat after half j an hour's tumble in the breakers, abefore they were wet at all. Bare arms are sometimes indulged in. Where the arm is a fine one, bin sleeves are still mo>t common. Stockings, dark ones usually, and slippers are still requisites of the Cape Ma\ | costume in the surf. A little, neatly slippered foot stole from under the red-braided edge ot a skirt. A slender hand, tipping a long white arm, pulled the skirt until it almost covered a red-stockinged knee. The teath gleamed again, almost wickedly : "Do you call that short ?" and before the rash man recovered from the shock a light laugh and a head of dark hair were plunging into the breaker nearest shore, and something red and alluring Hashed a moment above the water. Our Spring and Summer Stock Before another season dawns upon us. After the biggest season we have ever had, we have still got a large stock of WOORSTED SUITS left, while our shelves are crowded with J)R. WM. ALTMAN, Physician and Surgeon, Punxsutawney, Pa.

Washington, July 17.—It U the prevailing opinion here that Secretary Whitney will adopt the suggestion of the Attorney General and "seize" the Dolphin for security for the money paiil for her. This is what Hoaeii wants. There is something comical in the suggestion that the Dolphin is a failure, and that because she is a failure the Government will not take her, but at the sime time will "seize" her to prevent loss of the money paid for her. Yet this is the suggestion of the Attorney General boiled down, and on which, it is said to-day, the Secretary of the Navy will act. It is understood that nothing will be done either way until Roach has a personal hearing at the department. The ship-builder will agree to the seizure and bring suit for the balance due 011 the vessel. If he wins the Government will be let down easily, and having the ship already, will only have to pay the balance. If he loses the Government has the ship just the same and all Roach will lose is his balance. There is scarcely any doubt felt here that in either case the Governmentwill have to take the vessel, and not much more doubt that Roach will recover her full payment in spite of the Secretary of the Navy and the Attorney General.

Dayton, July 17.—A most temhhr atl'air, likely to terminate fatally, ;iio result of a woman's temper, occurred here to-day. Thomas Dunlevv. a hard-working mechanic, ami his 'wife began quarreling about his not b.-ittg at work. The family arc north siderable money, and the quarr-' is due to the fact that the wife did i tt want, the husband about the !i<. ■ rather than that they were suffering even in the least by his not \v<i king During the quarrel Dunlevey made use of a lewd term in referring to hi-' wife, when she seized a large collets pot tilled with boiling water andstruck him over the head with it. The boiling water ran down his hack, and I fore he could get hi* clothes oll'liis entire back was scalded into blister*, a mi in places was raw. His .scalp waso terribly scalded. The man is tonight raving with pain, and is considered in a very precarious condition! and likely to die. His wife, as rojh as she struck him, ran away, and has not been found since. JOHN T.

ERNST, Justice of the Peace. Washington, July 19.—Numerous complaints vie re made here of the amouut of spurious silver coin afloat. The city seems absolutely flooded with bogus quarters. These counterfeits are easily detected by any thoughtful person handling them. The street car drivers and conductors say that they have to test every quarter, as tho counterfeit comes out of their pay. The bar-keepers and shopmen carefully ring every coin. The Secret Service men have not yet been able io trace their origin. Reading, July 17.—The upper section of this city is greatly excited over a spiritual revelation in the shape of a suicide's ghost. Henry Kissinger and family resides in a two story frame house. Last Saturday afternoon Kissinger was found in his bedroom. He had fastened his suspender to the bed post and around his neck, and slowly strangled himself, lie was found kneeling in front of I he bed in a praying attitude. .Mrs. Kissinger and the children and many of the neighbors declare that the house is now haunted. Large crowds gather nightly in the vicinity of the houses, and many declare that thev have seen Kissinger at the upper story window, without a coat and wearing dark pantaloons, with a strap around his waist, just as he dressed while alive. Mrs. Kissinger says that one evening her brother was sitting against the door of a stair, leading upstairs, when they were startled as though a ton weight was coming down stairs, but nothing was discovered. The crowds have become so dense that policemen have been summoned to disperse them. PUNXSUTAWNEY, STORE, ST. ELMO Desperation-nerved, the man tried j again. "You didn't understand; I meant to ask, that is, I wanted to I know, you know, if, I mean whether,; that is, if it is true, that the ladies' - PENN'A. j skirts are shorter than usual this seaedge. "Arc—that is, do they wear—well —are bathing suits shorter than usual this year ?" Sparkling teeth illuminated the reply. "Why, I don't know; I think there have been enough to go arouud so tar."' PICTURESQUE HATIIlNCi SCENES. Custom makes from eleven to one the bathing hours at the Cape, and during that time the scene on the beach is one of rare life and beauty—a veritable vanity fair, with the naughtiness left out.For everybody bathes every day, and the hundreds who are "not going in to-day," dressed in their gayest, walk up and down and watch the hundreds who are in. The good clothes on the oeacli and the gavety in the water make a delightful combination.In years past Cape May has, justly or unjustly, borne the reputation of being somewhat in advance of the age in the matter of bathing suits for the ladies. A careful and conscientious inspection of the shore shows that this year, at any rate, there is no foundation for any such charge against the modesty of the Cape May ladies, perhaps because they are of a style that needs no adventitious setting otl' in the way of excessive abbreviation of attire. A man looking l'or information on this subject to-day watched the rise and fall of the bathers in the inviting billows. A bit of wreckage floated ashore near him. It had black eyes, dark hair streaming te the waist, and too wavy to hang in strings, and plump cheeks softly browned. A big breaker had tumbled it somewhat, but it did not seem seriously damaged. It didn't look frightened, and the man ventured to introduce himself as a meek and lowly seeker after knowl- (Special Despatch to The Press.) | Cape Mat, July 10.—At Cape May beauty is like poverty and beauties like the poor—ye have them always with you. It is a long stretch from seventy-five years ago till now, but Cape May has bridged the chasm with an increasing succession ot beauty. The belles of the olden time might not recognize their successors of the present, but the latter are the direct descendants of the former, and as honestly deserve as did the famous old beauties the right handed down from summer to summer without a break, of defending against all comers Cape May's claim of supremacy as the resort of lovely women. Everybody goes to see the train come in at Cape May, and the effect of the aggregation upou the casual traveler alighting from the cars not with his eyes full of cinders and his clothes full of dust as in yearsgone by is very demoralizing. The shock ot a cold surf bath is nothing to it. It is beauty, beauty all around, but nary a beauty for him. After a few trips to the Cape the casual stranger generally can stand the strain of arrival ! with more equanimity. He lindsthat I all the beauty is not inspecting him, after all, and generally, if he's any sort of a man, he manages to have a drop of beauty all for himself in the ocean of it that surges around the station. HK.WITCHIXG CAPE MAY BEAUTIES. Whether it is that Cape May air develops beauty, or that the beauty of the country has taken upon itself to develop Cape May, nobody knows, but certain it is that the worshiper of the ugly can find 110 sanctuary for his incense offering at the Cape. Beauty attired in clinging white tlannel, walks along the beach under big red sunshades; beauty, in bewitching black, with red ribbons and straw bonnets, goes shopping around the town ; beauty, in costumes above the waist chiefly of lace—black lace sometimes—drives up and down Beach avenue in fancy dogcarts; beauty in dreams of dresses throngs the hotel ball-rooms two or three nights every week, watching the dancing, and occasionally, very occasionally, dancing itself. Beauty also bathes. So do men and everybody else at Cape May. Bathing at Cape May is as delicious as eating a good dinner any where else. The beach is as broad as the preacher's estimate of the road Bob Ingersoll is traveling; as level as the head of the otlice holder who is 011 both sides of the fence about the time the Administration changes, and so firm and easy and warm that lying on it and watching the sky and the waves is like going to paradise by the parlor-car route. The surf at Cape May is like the surf at no other place in the world— worse luck for the other places. Plunging in it is the perfection of seaside enjoyment. It has all of the bracing of the stimulus of the salt, without the disagreeable chill. Its long, even swell makes swimming as easy as in a lake, and the breakers break just enough to give a pleasant tingle like the sparkle in soda water. So safe is the Captf May surf that the little children stand in it waist deep, and play '-ring-around-a-posy'' and Copenhagen,' without the necessity of having old folks watch them. Lebanon, July 19.—Stewart Klein a stalwart farmer ot' tin- Tousli valley along the Blue Mountains, yesterday unmercifully horsewhipped Surah Linke, aged 19, a maid employed is his family, beating the girl iienesith a willow tree in the rear yard ol'hi# premises until she sank "writhing to the ground and confessed that she W told an untruth.
