Intensely interesting to every her of the convention and to every person present, wore the exorcises of Tuesday evening, the first public session. The president of the organization. Mrs. Emma Bourne, being delayed somewhat in the con ferenoc of State Superintendents, Her. Edwin F. Gallagher introduced ai

mg,led by t : “To the

bv “Lights Along the Shore.'' In kindly' words that Honored her presence, the State President was then announced, who promptly took <cbarge of the evening’s program by calling for the reading of what the Union terms its “Crusade Psalm (1M) In eonoert. Mrs. R. P. Patterson followed with prayer. Then came St. Thomas (Crusade Hymn) “Give to the winds thy tears." “He will Carry Yon,Through.'' was the next song. Mrs. Bourne, utiircn one of the most gifted types of theuobility of the truest womanhood kuo4n tc our State, made the opening address, couched in purest eloquence, telling phrases and rounded sentences that appealed to the mind and touched the heart. “We were Invited elsewhere," she said, “and twice asked to come to Atlantic City, but we knew we were wanted at Cape May, and it has been so nice to be told so earnestly that we are

welcome.

Mrs. Bourne paid tribute to the beautiful church in which they met. and the tasteful, elaborate decorations on both

patriotic and W. C. T. U. Hues.

Pastor Gallagher Welcomed the ladies of the convention uu behalf of God's people. 1 We welcome you not only as noble .queen* in your grand work for icmpeiance.and morality, but wc 'know you are very queens In your respective household*. Our dumb oysters open their mouths to greet you. Garfish can’t help biting at snch a bait, and even our sweet potatoes are all ready to add to the enjoyment of those known to be even, sweeter. We shall drink to your health, not rum, but with luscious drafts of hot tea and coffee. lu the language of love, •and for tbecburcbes of Cape May, I bid you welcome. I would like to give yon the key* of the saloons, that you might cast them into the aea. I welcome you to tbc enjoyment of all that Is good, and

pc re, and wholesome at Cape Msy.

Mr. A,. H. Townsend made a wellworded and earnest welcoming address on bahalf of the press, a power which forota recognition, fraught with experiences which come to few other crafu or business bodies; one that covers a broad field, not forgetting to keep In touch with such organizations as the worthy W.

The Presbyterian Church choir music was a great help to the enjoyment of the exercises, and its members were highly complimented for their faithful effort in behalf of the convention. Snch wonderful parliamentary smoothess, snch straightforward, systematic conducting of business, was never witnessed at ay convention ever held at Cape May. One thing demonstrated daring the convention was the great need the chnrch has of a pipe organ, as as aid to the musical crcises. The little old reed organ has had

COMMENT LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subjects Under Thought—The Talk of the Gossips. T "ISBELL, the Hkuald last week gave enough rumors concerning the East Cape May Beach Improvement Company's operation* to satisfy tbe moet fastidious and exacting public. We ; supplemented tliem, however, with the remark—"Such are the 'rumor* afloat,” I and added that “what th« real facts may develop wo know not," and advised the reader to "Walt and oe^" Because tbe Hkuald hid uot see proper to follow the lead of an interested cotem- j porary, and blazon forth as fact* everything put forth calculated to mislead, we were by *orae considered as opposed to improvement. We had a memoir, however, and It served u* a good purposqin not, as we before put it, counting chickens before they are hatched. It is host not to become too previously enthusiastic. What "they say" Is not always the truth, or does not always turn but results as predicted or anticIpaUxl. Bo, when last week we published the rumors that the East Cape May folk bad purchased tbe Spioar Learning Farm, and the Stockton Hotel, we gave it for what it was worth, |Lwe cannot even now find that it was Say value whatever. As to the rumored Stockton Hotel purchase, that has fallen as flat a» previous rumors of the kind.' The other day we were told by a gentleman very close to Mr. Betz, owner . of the property, that the latter was very indignant over such stories, and declared . emphatically that nobody had purchased tbe Stockton. The gentleman referred to gave it as his opinion that tbe -hotel would remain in its present hands, ana -that the season of 1903 would find ’ Horace M. Cake again the proprietor. FACTS IS BRIEF.
