It would be difficult to ascertain which amusement Is the Inoat frequently Indulged in this season, euchre or dancing. To be sure, lbs hops most numerously patronized, but think there are more euchre parties than bops this season, so popular i lage amusement hare they become. damp meetings are now in i places In the height of fervor and deep devotional worship. There is no dia putlog the fact that true religions earnasloeas governs and controls these gatb erings, no matter what may appear here and there aa worldly or sinful. In great peace and relief from worldly cares, many people are worshipping In The Board of Health of Wert Cape May borough should Investigate rank odor which meets the pedestrian In the vicinity of the railroad crossing and turnpike. It seems to indicate the presence of a bog pen near by, which is kept in a style altogether too rural fc modern use, even on the outskirts of city It should be cleaned out and the hogs removed. Occasionally tin- foul sini-U reaches the cKy. The principal of the Cape May CRy schools couples his application for appointment, with a request for a higher salary, which should be granted. The salaries paid here are too small, we first class teacher* who should be paid liberally, and continued in their positions as long aa they give good service. The school* wlU never be entirely reaafnl until the scheming against princijsUs and teachers-, and changing them la duue away with and opportunity given them, by prolouging the tenure of office, to plan and accomplish to the extent of their ability. Cape May City children ant if anything above the average In intelligence and amiability and they are entitled to the beat school opportunities which can be afforded them.

The gas company bobs up serenely this month with s charge for meter rent. ■Ills added to the exoeaaive charge of 2 Wjw (bttDMndlar gas, la an mak* many more abandon tb« use ui It and will do so. The gaa plant it owned by a rich corporatloo, which la noted for Its business astuteness, but their methods at Cape May seem to be directed toward diminishing the number of consumers of gas. Incandescent lights at moderate charge The principle of the thing w u . no bettor than for the grooerymac to charge his customers every summer for the use of his scales, or for the milkman to charge for the use of his measures. Why don't the coal company charge the gas company and all IU other customers * certain rental for the use of Its platform scales r

The grand testimonial Hop to be ten-

dered to Prof. A. M. Loomis

st Congress lUll gives every promise of Inlug a very brilliant affair. Prof. Loomis hss for msny seasons aided very materially the progress and enjoyment of the amusements at the Cape, most frequently at Congress Hall, and suiwrb management as master of c monies at the fashionable hop ha* been very greatly appreciated. Especially slo the ladies value his service* given so courteously, so carefully and so critically- The Looml* College Lancers, the Professor's own composition, is gay in ito music and song, and delightful in Uto figures. One hundred ladies of Congress Hall have united in tendering him the testimonial, ‘•in recognition of his uniform courtesy, as well as his untiring efforts to contribute to the enjoyment of Cape May vUltora." Among the names we recsgnlxe those of many ladies most prominent in society, in literature, lu art, and gathered from many of the chief cities of the country. The lad-es are with Mr. Ixtomi*, and one of the happiest events of the season

will occur to-night in consequence.

There are many crnel things dons In the name of apon. Wanton cruelty Is not worthy the name. Pishing u considered enjoyable and healtbfnl pastime, and, besides, there Is something Of usefulness In the matter of food to anawer for wha'-ver seeming of cruelty there may be lu Ito Indulgence. Bnt why do men indulge in shark fishing? Only for the sport of booking them and pulling them In—not we hope, for the •‘fun" of ripping the strong book out of their jaws and of then looking on to see them struggle snd die. That U aoat all there 1* to ahark catching, except that their bodies are then thrown back into the water. Wby not throw them bask Into the sex before they dk and without tearing their jawe. They are not mac-eater sharks, and no good la subserved by the ca-.ohing. And this is not all. Ladles com plain that it is not pieaaaut on the pier often bees use of these things sod the dirtiness they create. If the fishing and shirking could be done on the'lower deck It would be better. The upper deck of the pier is s dsligbtful retreat o i a hot summer day, and nothing unsightly should mar the grouping of little oompaniee of la Ilea. Bo, boys, don't catch sharks and get their alii

an I blood all over the deck.
