.'-Personal complimentary mention of / lodividoala hat become a feature of almost all uewsp*i>era aod R U a very pheasant one. There it nothing ao.oondnaive to good feeling among men aa a recognition among them ofeacb other’s good qualities or commendable condnet, and a newspaper can do no more oaefol work than to contribute to tbia good feeling. There ia pleasure in it not only for those who receive complimet mention but for those who give it. As wt have often before said, we will again say Incidentally, that there Is at Caps May a great deal of good feeling among the majority of iU ali-tbe-year inhabitants wblcb U frequently reflected in our columns, and which constitutes one of the chief charms of life, it would be too pleasant if it existed among all it* Inhabitants and it i»"probably too much to expect of a comparatively small community that such a feeling should be general. It Is probable that the absence of it, In some cases, serves, by contrast, to intensify the beauty of It In others. A mao who does a meritorious thing or Urea, continuously, a creditable life Is worthy of commendation, and public mention of it, serve* two purposes, namely, to encourage him in his oouras and to present to the public an example worthy of emulation by others. It assists In the moral and material progri of a oommunlty by exciting a spirit emulation in those tbinga which serve Its best Interests. If bum drum news, the mere record of passing event*,which are apt to Include mors of evil tba good, were exclusively published, ideal* which have exalted the people of the civHired countries, ^ould gradually fade and lose their power. Personal mention of Individuals who exemplify them in thair life*, furnishes an object lesson far more valuable to aseure attention them, than any abstract teachings can be. The w orld regards actions far than words. Tbe summer lime new*, paper compliment* serve a* a plei o many visitor* and certainly

bright welcome and to tbe gayety and decorous abandon of summer resort life. Pleasure la sought by those who visit' Cape May’s aborea, aod what baa powt to give greater pleasure than kind

Atlantic City wants to get the water works under municipal control. Cape May, more fortunate, retain* control of hers, and It ha* proven to be the wisest thing ever dona by the municipality. A city government U a matter of business and not of polltiea, and it abould be conducted like any other business enterprise, with reference to getting the best return* for money expended and to making profitable investment In the line ol municipal 1 nprovemaot, so that tbe burden of tax may be constantly lightened. A (ty is formed by tbe gather, ing of large numbers of people to reside and do business in s particular locality, aod the Incentive for this oonoentratloi is found in Uie greater ease wilb-^hirh, business can be done and In tbe convenience, wblcb can be bad at a comparatively light individual expenae, which o4nd not be enjoyed If the population were scattered over a wide expense of territory. To manage a city, therefore, tbe beet business men and those who have the widest knowledge and experience abould be ' chosen. Everything which ia needed for tbe oouvenlcooe oT the Inhabitants should be directly controlled by the elty government. Not only the water supply, but the light supply,\aud means for local transportation abould be kept under elty control. The greatest length to which

. a municipal council should go, la U>

at moat to grant a franchise under such Irrevocable conditions, as would require payments into tbe oity treasury in proportion to tbe amount of bnsineaa done. Increasing as the bnaineas increased. A Iranebiae absolutely granted to a-few individuals wrongs all other Inhabitants of the city, by eonoeatrailng privileges which belong to all, in tba bands of a law.

Th* rat* of taxation should diminish, lu a prosperous, growing city, aa its population and prosperity increases, by utilising IU resources for profit, as a bus!ocas man or oorperatios would do'. When these resource*

are handed over without reserve, to pri-

“Why, I can’t get my alippera what shall I derail J I do w anl to go to totbop." Thi* cry of distress from a pretty Southern girl at one of our li-aling hotel* was the result of one of tbe carious UansformalioDa that gi* here. She was petite, and, like tbe rest of her sisters from below Maaoi and Dixon’s line, pridtd beraclf upoi ber small fool. And, Indeed, it wa small. A No. 2 slipper was ample, a No. Ij comfortable, while on occasion t No. 1 had been sufficient to guard her sole* a* aba whirled about In t^ir mare. of the waltz. To be comfortable she had only brought ber No, 2‘* with her, but to ber horror, after several days ol bathing and pedeatriamsm in stockinged feet on the wet sand, as well aa tbe miles of boardwalk touring, she discovered just on the eve of the nicest hop of toe season that her feet had incrcaaod la Blue. No lugennity could squeeze them Into the No. » slipper, and so a ’boa was called. She rode to Johnson’* shoe store, and tbe erstr happy young woman returned crest fallen with a No. 3 slipper. Of course a be felt that evening aa If she were all feet, and that everybody in tbe room knew IL Several little stomblas convinced ber that she had lost ber grace, and so abe retired from Uie danoiug door in a
