Its cation is inviting being on a bluff 01 looking the bay, and upon high, dry, fertile soil. It is in the midst of the finest farming country in the county, and will give sojourners the advantage of country and seaside combined. The view is a grand one, vessels being stautly within sight. Aldermax Ware still holds that H 28, and there are no later advices indicate that the situation is likely change.

Seldom is there seen in the surf more graceful exponent of the awiu miug art than Mias May Young, of Philadelphia. She la a prime favorite at the Westmoreland Villa. Miss Young leaves for the Quaker City Monday afternoon,alter a mouth's stay. Miss Gertrude Huntington, the attractive and pretty brunette of Philadelphia, who baa been stopping at the Aldine for a few weeks, will return to her home on Saturday, much gret of the Aldine gueau, as they have been delighted with her lovely singing and witty remarks.

He is au enthusiast over the joya of hit summer home and bia two beautiful grandchildren. His last two-column article in the New York of which we Lave before spoken, upon Conkling, Tom Corwin, of Ohio and Tom Marshall, of Kentucky was

Lingering to the close of this moet successful aeaaou at Congress Hall are the “Siameae Twins" of Salem county polities, William L. Plummer, surrogate of Salem, and Hon. Albert Slape, now one of the Commissioners of Taxation at a salary of 33500 per year.

Msny snd vastly different have t-een the ideas of local historians regarding the first a bile man. who and when hr ssw Cape May. When the first settlement was made to a diffienlCfitnoblrm to solve, owing to the fact tli* It ia not yet determined whether Cape M-y was first lived in by only one white {icreon. or with his family, or by a colony. Late In the te.itb century and early inj the eleventh there was s great deal of sea-voyaging done by the Danes and Norwegians and their neighboring friend, tbe Icelander. They were often venturous and many of them were caught in storms and driven far from the shore. It has been only of late years that any persona of authority In historical research would believe that the hardy men of the north of Continental Europe did actually discover America. Since studying carefully into the subject, and searching old quarters in Sweden and Denma rk and more eloaely tbe haunts of Iceland they bare discovered the fact that America waa first visitlted by tbe horse aea-kings of the tenth and eleventh oenturlea. From authority, auch aa John Clark Red; a h, and o hi r. we have It, that in the year A. D. 9SR. a navigator from Morse, by the nstne o* Henjulfton was driven by a storm fsr out to ses and that in sailing about hr fi at saw land atrsn.e to b m.vnd it va what is now either Labrador or Newfuuodlaod. Later fie found his way 1 "Fourteen years Ister,” ssy* Redpith, the “actual disoovery of America was made by Lief Erickson." Tills man waa an Icelandic captain wbu had heard what Ilerjulfaon bad reported at home, and came to see for himself. He Is said to have come aa far.aoutb aa the Massachusetts coast, sod probably entered what to now Now York harbor. Several of these adventurers followed Eriokson, but only one, and tbe moat noted one of them all, who had a reputation far beyond the boundaries of hto own country, Tborfinn Karlaefne by name, taw Cape May. He landed on the sborei of America in the year 1007, A. !>., with a crew of about 150 min and explored tbe coast of Maaaacbua. etta, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and sailed aa far south as tbe Capea of Virginia. He no doubt explored around the capea of the Delaware and saw the land and while sand of the beach which has made CsjSe May so famous. The i-cniuMilir-likc position of the county of Cape May, New Jersey, on which there are some light seaside resorts of promise loads the beautiful plaoe of health and pleasure to be nonotiood hr any mariner who happenr to pass on exploration bent. After these Northmen there has often been a question whether tbe first white man to see Cape May sailed under the dag of Fiance, Spain, or England. Without doubt tire honor can be given to young English navigator of acaroely 22 summers, who In 1408, a year after Columbus discovered tbe mainland near tbe Amazon River in South America, known over the wide world Sebastian Cabot. He waa of John Cabot, the first Englishman who i America, and who, by the way, America's mainland belore Christopher

Columbus.

Young Cabot, who had ab tlie voyage with his father iu 14110, when the old Admiral of Bristol, England, thought he was visiting a part of the dominions of the Cham of Tartary, finding no inhabitants, went on shi according to the terms of his commission, planted the dag of England, and took iKwsexsiou iu the name of the English King," now took his father's fleet, and with all the spirit of a young man anxious fur fame and success. In the spring of 14U8 this youth sot out fn.m tbe shores of Old England with a well' equipped fleet for tbe time, and sailed away to the shore of the New World to find the supposed northwest passage to India. Naturally he sailed to the north until the icebergs and schools of codfish and coldness so impeded his progress that hr was forced to turn his course in another direction and sail towards the Sonth. He soon neared the coast of Newfoundland, and then all the summer was given up to exploring. The adventurer* visited Nova Scotia, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts. The coast of New Jersey, including the bay shore around the point of the cape, and Delaware were explored, and then from off Cape Hatteraa it is supposed that the young man directed his course ard. " Cabot claimed all the territory for his King, Henry VII. of England, who in turn never even as much rewarded Sebastian, which Cabot went into the service of Spain, and afterwards became the great empire's Pilot Major, in charge of all iu ry, then the greatest In the world. John Cabot was s Florentine navigator, who has taken up his residence In Brtobecome wealthy. He was known In Italy ai Giovani Cabot. By itrange coincidence tbe ocly French explorer to ace Cape May wi of Florence also, and hto n entirely correct in spelling waa John de Verrazanl. who was aeut out by Fran1, In 1523. Francis was at swords inta with Henry VIIL of England, lot Henry VII, and wanted to secure authority over all that land which d been set up claim to by England because of it having been explored by the Cabots; and Verrazanl, anxious to make himself a name, was in the belt
