DEARTH OF AMU^HAfKX'l'S.
Never, during the course of
ft)}'ty-three, summers spent, more
<)? less agreeably in this city,
Jiave >\vo noted such a dearth'of
amusements for the general pub
lic as lias prevailed this Sum
pier. The reason, while not ex
uctly plain, is so nearly patent
that tve may with reasonable ac
curacy, uscr)be it to the forma
tion of various clubs of a social
paturo during the t wo past sea
sons. ?
The members of these clubs
arc those who formerly guvo the
people several pleasant evenings
during the torrid months, Ijy
flaying public entertainments of
different kinds, either at the
pp4ru hquse, or, on one of the
several parks of the city. These
pntertaininents were usually giv
en in the interest of some worthy
pbject, ai)d aparj, from the en
Joyable features of thejp, did
real good.
Why jujt give us unfortunate
mortals^ who are either too old,
too busy, or top something to be
long tp clubs, one or two op
portunities of casting dull care
jtside about twice before grim
yinter and ot.lier things come
jjlong and nips our hop??n?
Ad gpera, aoomedy, adrama,
evw a' tragedy at tile opera
house, would be an unmixed
blessing to some, and 4 weldome
incident }n the life of others.

SEHATOR TlLLMU'S THROAT.
Trouble T,csm Serious Tlinu He
Feared, and He Leaves ibr

Washington Post, 13th inst.
Senator Tillman, returning to
his homo at Tronton, S. C., from
St. Louis, left Washington for
the south at 9 o'clock last night
after consulting a throat special
ist, for which purpose he stop
ped ovor here. The South Caro
lina statesman's throat, which
was severely taxed by his exer
tions in the interest of harmony
before the Democratic conven
tion, is fctill causing him trouble,
V lit it was not thought necessary
for him to remain here for treat
ment, as ho had apprehended
would be the case.
"Tnore will bo nothing done
actively in the campaign until
September," said Senator Till
man in his Pullman car a few
moments before the train left.
"I havo no idea who will be elect -
ed chairman of thU committee. I
feel convinced that Parker and
Davis will be eleoted.
"It is a mighty strong ticket,
and the ' telegram sent by Mr.
Parker to the convention out
lining his views on the money
question was a ?master stroke.
"If Mr. Parker had waited un
til notified of Ins nomination be
foro expressing his financial
views, the situation would have
been vastly different, but send
iif^T that telegram put another
face on it.
"Mr. Parker will undoubtedly
carry New York State, and New
Jersey and Connect icut ought to,
and probably will fall into line.
The selection of Mr. Davis as
vice presidential candidate as
sures Maryland and West Vir
ginia as safe. The men who are
afraid of President Koosevelt
\vill come to the standard. Wo
ftro going to elect our ticket this
time, but most of all, wo arc go
ing to boat Roosevelt.
"I found myself in a strange
.situation at the convention,'' ad
ded Senator Tillman, with a
snnle. "1 was acting as the
peace maker, and it was by no
tnenns an easy joft.
"I want to say that Mr. Bryan
is going to support the ticket.
Bryan is sincere, and when lie
says ho intends to (jo a thing you
}nay rest assured he will. He is
the greatest living Democrat to
day and was the commanding
tigure in the convention.

None of the party expects to
spend a penny on the way to St.
