CAPE MAY DAILY STAR PC BUSH KD EVERJ MORNING,

} Editor* & Pobltober*.

PRIDAY, AUGUST “ Bt tiiiLEii ” i* having * good tin- Pier Ojnrra House. This c-mnsly alTonls an interesting evening'* amm ment. If you want to rattle oB the blur* go out to-night. There iota of fun as well a* good singing, and a beautiful dance by a pretty little Tnoron in many season* pas' Oaii.t Star has been the favorite wi Cape May guest*, we cannot refrai from slating that iu great success and I»pularity this season is witbou dent. Many who know whereof they *|**k say it ia the best summer daily published on the entire coast.

Tiichf. seems to be considerable skirmishing around just now In efforts to knock out the cornet Wbat appears to be the most severe thing yet, is from Mrs. Prank Stuart Parker, who says the corset “haa filled more gra« whisky." Ponder upon this, ye frail women, who constantly proclaiu world that we men are dying at the rate of a hundred thousand a year from the effects of strong drink. Now, If the husband will stop drinking and the wife will swear off from wearing what happiness there will be ia the family. Let's uke the pledge.

The last payment was ordered made on the city water works at the meeting of council, and the city owns them entire, in fee. They were completed five years ago and have been paid for by yearly i natal menu The receipts from the water department neat year will not only sustain the fire and water de]iartmraU, but will, addition, leave a nice balance for other purposes of at least two thousand dollars. Those who declared all that the water works could not be made to pay and exhausted themseli effort to sell them for a paltry $123,000, have their moat complete ana present value and yield of our fine new

plant.

Capt. “Ike" Kixset exerted himself industriously in behxlf of the life

gusnls in the nutter of aiding the eoss of the base ball game on Wed

•lay, disposing of s Isrge number of tickets and looking after their interest* st the Park entrance. He was cashier for the guards, and was quite chagrined wlien he discovered, after the play, that

nnc-quarter of the reccipU were

handed over to the manager of the new Athletic Association. There *boi luve been a fair understanding to thl»

effect, or it should not have been

acted. It strikes ns as very strange

that the surfmrn themselves should

luve been familiar with whatever arrangemeuU were made, so that there

should be no disappointment.

“ Behoi.d bow great a matter a little fire klndlcth." This proverb was quite

truly exemplified yesterday by the

made on our local bank, caused by _ foolish young man, George Love, by name, who, to play a joke on a companion who had a little money in the bank, told him the bank had cloaed and his money was gone up. This happened before banking hours, when, of course, the hank tnu cloaed. .The little joke

went out, however, to scare w

children, like any other ghost, and by the time the doors were open there was a little crowd of depositors ready to draw out. This increased until the drain on the funds In hank was quite severe, some becoming scared bfeautc so many others were demanding their

•Ic-iwaita, fearing there would be

left for them unless they drew quickly. Director Isaac H. Smith immediately proceeded to secure the arrest of young Love, who was committed to the lockup. The poor fellow was feeling very ludly over the trouble he had Inad-

vertently caused Among the

ni^lc was one on a cheek on a Philadelphia bank, by Mr. Golt, for about $100, and he became rafiled lecauac the bank's own depositors were first cared

for I Love was held under $300

of libel.

The social season at the shore is

truly st its height, as we are prepared to state from our own view and knowlledge of business points as they appear to us. We do not mean by this to aver that the Cape May season is at Its very best, and that It 1* just turning over to the downward grade, numerically and

socially speaking, not by any We mean simply that the most delightful social eqjoym.iita that the gathering of the beat people of the land can bring

In their associations at so entrancing and inspiring s resort as Cape May, are

afforded. Everything socially ia run-

ijlng in pleasant channels, and all about the hotels, the cottage boarding-houses

and the cottage colonies, the evening pleasures are abundant, as the numerous social items in the Stab testify. Ami then Cape May ia not filling up, but la already well filled, yesterday being the heaviest baggage, as well Jiaasenger day ; especially ao la the m ter of baggage, am reported by Agent Allen, of the Union Transfer Company. And more, judging by the statements rustle by proprietor* of the various houses, they are at a loss to know how they shall find rooms for the applicant*

that desire quarter* for some days to

come. Considering the state of the season elsewhere among the resorts. Cape May is feeling proud of her prosperity and her enjoyments. It is pleas-

ant to note this, and our readers will
