The annual meeting of the West Jersey

id at Salem next

lay.

Pavilion Ko. 3, superintended the past two seasons by Mrs. Anna Semler, was closed on Monday of Una week. The early morning air the first of the week resounded with the sound of the gun. and on Tuesday morning a jiarty of three gunners killed 800 flickers. It Is well that we now have the street names liberally and properly placed, and every house should have its number also plslnly set, but free mall delivery cannot be had here unUi about July 1, IMS. It is a very bad thing for any towu to have to endure the unsightly and obstructive poles and the wires strung upon them. Msy the time soon rume when the underground plan is compulsory everyIf all thf discussions upon the subject of the coal strike beard in the country stores and cigar shops of tbs cities could be compiled into a book, the reader would be a fit subject for the lunaUe asylum by the time ho finished it. The Emperor KspplfiOO and the libertyloving Lafayette found admirers enough among Cape May famines to have their names perpetuated even lo this day. Hence we have Lafayette Bcnuctt, Lafayette Hall, Lafayette Miller, Lafayette Wire; Napoleon B. Benpett, Napoleon B. Smith.-. While spearing for eels In the sounds the other dsy Mr. W. T. Stevens brought drum fish. Weighing, he judged, about thirty pounds. The spear did not hold him, and the big fish broke away. The poor fellow mast be carrying a might sore back, anyway. Engineer MacCnlloob, of Llghtahip No. 40, and two cc three others belonging to the ship were delayed a couple of ^ecks beyond their shore time by the prevailing east winds. A little sail boat U their only method of making the trip to shore and return, and a quiet aea and northwest wind is required. The month just closed was the 'coldest and the wettest September In the last five years. It was characterized by a cool spell on the 5th sod 0th; another from the ISth to the 19th, by heavy rains on the 8th and 26th; by rain on over half the days In the month, and by rain every day, except 2, from the 19th to the 80th.

STATE W. C. T. U.

Convention To fleet Here Tuesday, 7, to Friday, 11. Two wdejrs ago the Herald gave an elaborately prepared article upon the subject of the coming convention of all the societies in the State of the Women's Christian Temperance Union,- so that now ibete remains little to beaaid for the enlightenment of our readers. That the meeting of this body of Christian workers in the cause of temperance ia likely to be an event of great Impqrtapoe to the moral ami religious world of which the realm of our owu State is a part, need not be .asserted here. All such efforts, regard. them lightly as we msy, exert their meed of'ioflueuce.in bettering society, add in the restraining of men and. women from falling under thesurae which the excessive use of strong drink brings down upon

the beads of its victims.

So let us bear In mind the sessions of this important convention, go gut and - wie and bear these noble women and Irani of them. Besides their methods of Imsiuess'there will be much of pleasing entertainment. There will be big audiences, the number of delegates alone be.

TROLLEY EXTENSION SURVEYORS AT WORK ON THE PROJECTED STREET RAILWaV.

comfort, to thaw end.

.Supplemental to our recent article ou the subject of trolley extouaion here, wo can"now make note of the fact that preparations are already being made for the laying of the tracks ou the thoroughfares then mentioned. Surveyors are getting the distances and mapping out the line* to be built. The Herald also was first to give in print s plan for trolley tension 'down the Cape May county beaches, connecting with the Ocean City traoks, to Cape May City. Some time In the future this will doubtless be accomplished. Wonderful feats of science, and of engineering skill have ceased to astonish ua, and when they come they, will be regarded only aa ordinary Improre-

LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subjects Under Thought—The Talk

of the Gossips.

JZ^HE coal famine ban already had the v£) effect to nnsettlc the minds and upset the plans of an innumerable host of people who usually at this time of year, after tbe close of certain upecial features of summer business, lay their plans for other business features, and in other locations, for the period between seasons, so to speak. And so, many are waiting to sec what the outcome of the present trouble is likely to he before making contracts, renting winter boarding boose, or, in fact, in engaging in aqy-

aaid, and in this case everyliody, almost, is in company with everybody else. The situation is becoming truly alarming, and the ^risi* must come soon. We cannot believe it possible that the present struggle between capital and labor can continue on into the season when absolute suffering.would ensue. To allow it to do so would certainly cause an uprising that would be sweep ng in its results. We leave tbe word “sweeping" to bq digested by each reader for himself. Rev. Dr. Psrkhuret, who iv knemn to be more practical than visiouaryjBWare* that to prolong the coal sirin' may lead to revolution. This would be deplorable in the ext remit It Is uotioeablc that the sympathies of tfag_public are turning more strongly toward th* strikers in tbic contest. Then, rather than antagonize the public further. It Is certainly the better policy to grant the miners what they ask. The statement of their grievances, as' published from time to time, docs not seem to be pregnant with any unreason-

AN OLD LANDMARK.

Once Famous Restaurant Property To Be Improved.

Memory needs to run back but s few years to recall the popularity of what was for many years known as “Lausing’s." This famous resteurantoccupied the west comer of Decatur and Lafayette streeta, aud its old-fashioned, quaint appearance, its old-time verandas, paling fencas, lent a charm to tbe spot, which

L. Lansing*aa a caterer and puryeyor of innumerable fancy decoctions, made tbe place one of the most popular and successful of the kind in this noted old sea-

side town: v

Tbe qualnt&aaw^f tbe building and Its surrounding arose from tbe fact that It was one ot the earl i*r, cottage properties of the place, known as tb£ “School Property,” and in its arohltedlural appearance followed the prevaijlug style of ye oldene tyme of. fifty or" seventy-fire year* ago, a style of which but very little is to be seen here at tbe present day. This old landmark has now fallen into the hands of Dr. Samuel F. Ware, who already owns several properties here, aud who is about to begin alterations thst will add much to the appearance of the old corner, aud bring it once more into usefulness as a oott
