A TERROR IN THECAMP-
Great Squirming on the Front Seats, but it
Wasn’t Caused by Religion.
Philadelphia Kecord.] 4
Pitman Grove, N. J., Aug. 5. —
Down by the shores of Alcyon lake,
the camp ground’s newest attrac
tion, there have sat ever since the
camp opened a bevy of summer
girls. Their costumes were be
witchingly cool looking, their
laughter contagious and their pres
ence lent added charm to the beau
ties of the smooth, picturesque
body of water down in the woods
on the east side ot the famous grove.
They sat along the sloping shores,
reading uovels or listening to the
swish of oars, as they watched the
boats glide across the bosom of the
lake. They lolled about in grace
ful poses and permitted young men
| to whisper nothings to them as they
I wielded tneir fans. Now it is all
l changed. The pretty girls don’t sit
iby the lake any more. They eye it
askance, shudder, whisper to each
other, laugh and avoid the vicinity
as a singed cat keeps away from
the tire.
This marked change came
through what approached the di
mensions of a general panic in the
famous old camp meeting grounds.
The meetings had progressed for
two days, and had begun to assume
the fervor and interest for which
Pitman Grove is so famous through
out the land, when one evening a
great commotion arose. A pretty
girl in a batiste dress so fidgeted
and squirmed in one of the Iront
rows that a good sister was sure
| she was “feeling the spirit.” The
good sister touched the pretty girl
on the shoulder and murmured en
courgirigly in her ear. The pretty
girl gave one shriek and fled from
the auditorium. She made straight
for her mother’s cottage, and ru
mor has it that as soon as she
reached her room she gave herself
over to a devoted and industrious
scratch.
Meantime other pretty girls and
some not so pretty, had gone
through the same motions in the
auditorium meeting, and had fled
precipitately. The good dames and
the devoted brethren were sorely
perplexed. They ascribed it all to
the rebellious spirit engendered by
the devil, and fervid prayers were
offered for the misguided young
women. That night** when the
meeting closed, amid more turbu
lence than the good people cared
to see repeated, the actions of the
dozen or more young women passed
from lip to lip and there was much
marveling over their mysterious
behavior. Next morning none of
the offenders were to be seen, but
toward dusk of the next evening
one of them ventured out of her
cottage, and over by fourth avenue
she ran across another.
“Oh, Jennie,” exclaimed one.
“Oh, May,” exclaimed Jennie.
In concert they shrieked “Ticks!”
Then there were condolences, and
as the two sauntered on, they sought
out sequestered spots, and after
carefully looking all around, each
bent over and went through many
mysterious motions. That same
night all the other girls who had
aroused such commotion in the
meeting met as by appointment,
and after first expressions of hor
ror and dismay, they shouted
“Ticks!”
Then it was learned that the girls
had been in the habit of spending
considerable time down by the
shores of Alcyon lake. This is an
abiding place ofsand-tfcks,a species
of bug that is harder to get rid o
than a country cousin in winter.
The sand-tick is industrious, digs
under the flesh, and has to be cut
out. The pass-word at Pitman
Grove is “Ticks!”
BASH BALL ENGLISH-
A Dictionary of the .Game Will Soon Be
Needed.
iXew York Tribune.]
It seems that at this game,accord
ing to a published report, an active
player had “wings on his heels and
tabasco sauce in his arms.” Yet he
was perfectly tame and tractable
when not “larruping scrapers,” or
“slapping out dandy singles,” or
“lacing an easy one,” or “slashing
out a peach.” There was a nice ap
pearing young man on one of the
teams who did not look as if he
would harm a fly, but he was real
ly.a fiend incarnate, for lie deliber
ately and in cold blood “unchained
a cyclone with his willow and tore
out theground back ofcentei field.”
“It isn’t safe to judge by appear
ances. One player seemed to jog
along to first base when the umpire
gave him his base on bails. But
base-ball Shakspeare denies this
malicious charge. He says that he
“ambled to the bag.” This same
man did not steal second base. He
“pilfered it.” Altogether he was a
pretty disreputable tellow, for he
also “robbed the visitors of third.”
His career of crime was checked,
however, for When lie tried to “em
nezzle the plate” he was “nailed,”
though to what is not on record.
The players all had peculiar gaits
Some of them galloped, some of
them romped, some of them can
tered, some of them scampered,
some of them “piked to second,”
some of them “trotted a heart.”
One man even got so mixed up in
his seasons that, though it was as
hot as Tophet, he “tobogganed to
third.” But not a soul of them ever
walked or ran. One man, evidently
jealous of the forms of locomotion
possessed by his brothers in defor
mity, “uangarooed to second.”
A batsman can do lots of things
that the unsophisticated person
would never dream of. On this day
one man, who had three strikes
called on him, “cut the plate with
three called balls.” Another “liied
softly,” and “Denny froze it sweet
ly.” So, in spite of the stabbing
and cutting and slashing, there is
sometimes rural gentleness. A
man who was excited sent a “siz
zling grounder rattling through the
legs” of somebody, and another, who
was politeness itself, “fanned the
warm air.” One player “sent a bif-
fer past second,” and a rival “pop
ped a mushy one abaft first.” Noth
ing happened, though, to the lee
scuppers. Speaking of batsmen,
none of them used a bat. Only
“duffers” so far torgot themselves
as to play base ball with a bat and
ball. These men “wielded the ash
and willow handles,” and “toyed
with the sphere.”
Players never get put out in these
days. The rqethods of disposing
of them vary, Some are put to
sleep, some are allowed to languish
in solitude and some are tortured
to death. In this garrie, so vividly
i described one man “ground vainly
for the elusive” and “played dead
on the bench.” One was “coppered
at first,” and another was “clinched
at the plates.” Still another “ex
pired in anguish” at fir“t and an
unoffending but unpopular youth
was “smothered to death at sec
ond.”
At least this is base ball as set
down by the historian.
CASTOR 1A
Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher’s prescription for Infants
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years’ use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
.Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas
toria is the Children’s Panacea —the Mother’s Friend.
Castoria.
“Castoria Is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
£ood effect upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
* Lowell, Mass.
Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which lam acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”

What is
Castoria.
“ Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior toauy prescription
known to me.”
H. A. Archer, M. D.,
11l So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. Y.
“ Our physicians in the children’s depart
ment have spoken highly of their experi
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”
