Correspondence or Tuu Sunday Hr.uAi.o. Dekii Pauk Hotel, July 0. The almost unptecedonled continuance of moderate weather for tho past few weeks has prevented Deer Pari; and her sister mountain resort, Oakland, from filling up as rapidly as they 'Usually do. At tho present writing theio aro nearly two hundred vl6ito:s hero and almost as many nt the Oakland hotel. Hosts of jounjr people enliven the grounds hy day, And add tholr cheering influence to tho ball room at night. The daily-growing alacrity and appearance of healthfulncss of worn-out visitors arc patent recommendations of Deer Park as n healthful place to spend tho summer. Every hour of the day bracing mountain 'breezes pour down from tho hills upon tho hotel and noidhboring cottoges, mornings and evenings nro cool, and any possible mid-day heat is dissipated in tho evening by summer showers of short duration. Deer Park, to tho stranger alighting from tho train presents a scene of enchantment; high mountains on all sides; a large and bandsdmo hotel surrounded by beautiful grounds and with a background of hills covered by forest trees, in the midst of whh h nestle beautiful little cottages and over all a pure slty whoso bluo is seldom clouded except possibly for an hour or so in the after noon. At night, the scene is equally entranc ing, nrc lights illuminating tho trees, and buildings and causing them to shino forth from the darkness of tho mountains behind and above most beautifully. Tho amusements at Deer Park are various. Those who seek health alone may confine themselves exclusively to tho mountain drives, tho bowling alleys, and the inevitable plunge or Turkish bath ut tho conclusion of every form of exerdse For those who do not wish to entirely forget their clubrooms ur city en viioinnents, billiard-rooms for oue twelve houis and cardrooms for tho other furnish every opportunity for their respective amuse ments. " A branch of tho famous Tally-ho sta bles of Washington is located on the grounds, and their stylish turnouts aro to be seen on the diives around at all hours of tho day. Washington influence extends even to tho mountains, as evinced by the impetus given to liorse.back riding during tho season or two in which it has been a fad in tho Capital City. Ample opportunities for trout fishing are of fered by tho streams in the mountains around. For those more turbulent spirits who can bo satisfied with neither driving horses, whist parties, nor billiaids, an excellent baseball diamond and tennis grounds lend chances for more violent exercise. As yet good tennis players are scarce, and wo will probably not have that class until they are wearied of the bustle and crowds at the seashore. The sum mer girl is omnipresent, and there is already onough of her hero to add some little spice to the life of tho &fasc8utnmermau, who has long since ceased to"be in tho majority at summer resorts. She adds a quiet pleasure to life in the mountains, which tho writers of tho comic press never aspire to depict, and her influence is encouraging in the extreme. The swell Is not here, male or female; occasionally a straggler pays a fleeting visit, but the environ ment is not encouraging and he soon leaves for other climes. Tho temperature is too cool for his or her nummer clothes, and since he would never be caught in last spring's outfit -and hasn'tlong-Blghtedness enough to devise a good fall one, ho Is hotweou two fires with -only one way out. We are sorry to lose tho swell, but wo bavtn't time to miss him very much. An excellent band lends pleasure to tho hours wblled away on tho hotel corridors or on tho porticoes by selections from modern masters, and .it night plays dance music for the benefit of tho cottagers and hotel guests who gather iu the ball-room. The occupants ot the cottages, always wealthy and with a large circle o't friends, have visitors during tho season and their presence adds greatly to tho general attractiveness of the place. Quite ii number of Washingtonlans find health and ple.isure at. Deer Park and doubt less more will bo hero later in the season. The 'beauty of tho scenery from Washington is al most unrivuled and the fivo hours spent in mak ing the trip is as short as that time could be made In raihoad traveling. Among W ushlngton vibitors at tho hotel of recent arrival may be mentioned P..E. Cbapin and funnily, Mrs. General Miohler, tho Countess Esterhazy, Rear Admiral and Mrs. Queen, Colonel W. Ii. Remey, Mrs. Dr. L M. Taylor, Lieutenant Brown, of tho Navy, Dr. James Taher Johnson, Mrs. Phil lips, (r. Ii. lloco, Mrs. Audenried and family, Colonel P.obeit J. Fleming and family, Mrs. A. F. Mae ruder and family, Mrs. W. G. Harris, Mrs, E. L. Cohen and family, Mrs L. V. Miles, Mips Ida Thompson, C. A. Stoue and famllj', Mrs. Sarah Utermehle, and Mrs. .Samuel Norment and family. Tho Wall Stroot of Washington. Among tho various localities iu the City of Washlugtown wblch have sprung into prouil menco as business arteries and centres none Is more noticeable than tho square ou G street northwest, between Fourteenth and Fif teenth streets. It is a nest of banks, trust companies, newspaper offices, real estate agents, insurance men, and architects. Situ ated at tho toi minus of the electilc road con necting tho Treasury with tho Patent Office, Pension Office, Ecklngton, and the Catholic University, unci immediately between tho Metropolitan jcuul on tho east and tho Avenue line ontbo we$t, it is tho absolute heart and centre of tho business part of Washington. On the south s)do stauds tho Rlegs House, .soon to be reopened on a splendid 6cale by Mr. 0. G. Staples, of Willard's Hotel. No less thau four banking institutions have their home6 on tho north side. The powerful Ameilcan- Security Company with its mil lions, the sound and growlnc west End Bank, in its beautiful new granite building, 'the elegant real estate offices of John F, Waggaman, tho spacious and complete estab lishment of tho veteran insuranco firm of Robertson & Blackford, tho real estate office of Geueral B.

C. M. Loeffior, George M, Myers, and John B. Wight, and tho mwguiiicentgranite shucture nov bulldiutr for the Trust Company combine to louder this shoit block wbat the caption of this paragiaph calls it the Wall 6treet of Washington.

"Tho wizard of Mcnlo Park" is stilt working wonders. Edison's brain is forever busy with new schemes of in vention, and tho latest lcsult of his activity is called tho kinctograph. It Is an instrument that in combination with the phonograph enables tho exact reproduction, on a miniature 1 d&&- Mb - L fk. " nomad QvUdvian, scale at present, of the movements of any speaker, singer, or actor, the actual tone of the voice being heard. By Its means tho representation of any theatrical performance, meeting, scene, opera, horse race, etc., can bo exhibited. It records and reproduces motion as tho phonograph re cords and reproduces sound. It has already been exhibited in tho presence of some 200 persons. In Edison's own words, "You can sit in your parlor and look at a big screen and see Ohaunccy Depow come on the stage and bow and 6mile and take a drink of water and start off with his oration. Every tlmo your eyes see him open his mouth your ears will hear what ho Bays." Tho kinetograph is a photographic camera arranged on the principle of tho zoctropo. The zoctrope or wheel of Hfo is a card on which are represented tho same figure, man or horse as the case mav be, in a number of slightly different positions. On tho wheel revolviug tho single figure or figures appear as one, making a perfectly nat ural movement. Tho revolution of the wheel is too quick for thoej'o toseo each variation in the figure, and consequently a unit picture i3 the result. Tne Interior of the camera has gelatine 9trlps unrolled from ouo spindle and rerolled ou tho other which in passing are carried before the lens of tho camera. It is so arranged that forty-six perfect photographs are taken in the lightning time of one second. The result when reproduced is pure motion. " . - The Coming: Performance of ' Fnnclion." The last of this summer's theatrical repre sentations, "Fanchon," for the benefit of tho General Spinner Memoiial Association, prom ises to be a very Interesting event. Besides having Mr. Eborie, Maggie Mitchell's) success ful stage manager, at the helm, a novel feat ure will be introdmed the presence of lady ushers. Much Interest is manifested in the new departure. Kotos of tho Stage. Ada Dyas thinks of starring next "season. Zelio De Lossan Is expected to retire from opera during the coming season. "The Grand Duchess" will bo revived at the New York Casino to-morrow night, with Lil lian Russell in the title rOle. Joseph Murphy has decided to go out iu "The Kerry Gow" again next season. This doe6 away with tho rumors that Mr. Murphy has retired. Francis Wilson is adapting a comedy for Frank Daniels. Tho piece Is one that Mr. Wilson bought for his own use some time ago. He has made Mr. Daniels a present of it. The royalties on a comic song that is popu lar in London music-halls became the subject of a law suit recently, when it was discovered that the owner of this ditty made more mouey by it than Is cleared by the composer of a suc cessful oratorio. Tho souvenir issued by Manager Harry As kin to commemorate the fiftieth performance of "The Tar and the Tartar" at Palmer's Theatre, New Yoik, is a very beautiful pam phlet containing the songs of ajl nations as played in tho opera. Harriet Avery Strakosch, wife of Mr. Edgar Strakosch, manager of the Carleton Opera Company, has made a big hit in Milwaukee, where sho has been singing iu summer opera. She has decided to abandou grand opera alto gether for tho light sort. At Kieff, a Russian town, all tho musicians and singers are Jews, consequently wbon tho Czar's recent order of expulsion arrived the theatres and music-halls bad to be closed. At tho Opera House tho only one concerned who was a Christian was the leader of the orchestra. As he was unablo to give a performance of "Robert le DIable" all alono that establishment also shut its doors. Tho spectacular farce comedy, "A High Roller," which will bo seen at tho Academy of Music, in this city, September 14, will in clude no less than sixty-one people in the organization.
