THE SERVICE BETWEEN HERE AND BALTinORE OPENED. Steemer Queen Caroline Now Plying Between Lewes—Train Service

The summer schedule of the Queen Anne’s Railroad went into effect last inday, when the popular Tuesday i itirsday and Sunday excursions to ipe May and Rehoboth were Inaugurated, together with other features in the service of the company, with reference to express trains for the seashore travel, additional steamers to Love Point and the Increased facilities for reaching Baltimore for those desiring to procure summer board along the line of-the road from Love Point to Center-

T. Stevens as a boat builder and designer, and those who may be so fortunate as to secure his services in this line will not regret their choice.

Our Progress.

From The’Camden Courier. Cape May promises to have a pros-

>us summer sensor

prosperous last summer,

accommodations were put to a strong test by visitors from all points. The va^t improvements at the Cape will not be much in evidence before next year, but it is plain that aforetime popular and fashionable seaside resort is destinto resume the rank it deservi Fast trains between this city and t Cape have been put on and a daily excess from Washington city also, and hose who wish to enjoy the saline breezes of the shore in comfort will find no lack ol convenience in transportation. Wildwood-by-the-Sea aud Holly Beach are only a pleasant ride distant from the Cape, and visitors at either resort will find the others attractive and

enjoyable.

Journalists Coming.

Next Friday the Pennsylvania Railroad will-Bring as its guests about three hundred of the working journalists Washington, with their wives and some friends to enjoy an outing of four days at the Stockton Hotel. The railroad company has hired the hotel exclusively for the entertainment of its guests, aud io consequence this house will not ipen to the public until after the' departure of the journalistic party for their homes. This has been a custom of the company for many years. The passenger agents, both general and dis-. trict, come with the party HulBsute that their comforts are carefully looked after, and that they all go away feeling that they have had a good time.

A Good Newspaper. The Wildwood Bun, edited and owned by T. C. Hamilton, has grown steadily since it was started three years ago, and is one of the best edited papers in the county. Last week it entered into a new home, an office built es; echdiy for the needs of the plant. May it ever alii e and be a lead! g factor in the life of that island, if not in the affairs of Cspe May con--ty.

Shifting Gas Plant. The bid East Side Gas W orks in Camden, which were absorbed by the 8<>nth Jersey Gas, Electric and Traction Company. are being removed to Cape Maj A force Sf men began work Monday 1 dismantling the planL .Seven car loads of msterial has arrived so far.

QUEEN ANNE CONNECTION

FACTS IN BRIEF. Matter* of General and Local Interest Mentioned. The Cape May Ball team will play a : team from Vineland this afternoon. The steamer Queen Caroline, began making her regular trips last Sunday. Mrs. Charles Sandgrnu was stricken with appoplexy on Sunday evening last. Henry Dougherty, of Dennisvtlle, began his services ss a mail earner on Monday. ither Kelly is having several improvements made to the Rectory of St. Mary's Catholic Church. The name of the launch of Alfred Cooper, of Cape May Court House is •Belle” and not “Bess,” as was incorrectly stated in last week’s Ukbald. The Philadelphia Trust, Safe Deposit and Insurance Company, has transferred for 931,500 the Bzndum Artmau cottage at Beach avenue aud Jefferson street, to J.-WeslV Allison. , Commencing on Wednesday, June 17, le Pennsylvania Railroad started a new mail and" newspaper train, leaving Philadelphia at 3 a. in. and arriring at Cape May at 7 a. m. The will of Dr. Thomas G. Morton, for many years a member of the Board of Education from the Ninth Ward, Philadelphia, who died at Cape May on May 20 last, was probated last week. The testator left property valued at more than 1200,000, all of which is devised to the widow and children, the executors being the sons, Thomas S. K. lorton and Arthur V. Morton, and J. Story Jenks, Jr., a son-in-law. The latter, however, renounced his right to trve in that capacity. It la Just So. The Newark Truth prints the confessions of a political boss, in which the latter says: ‘The average reign of a political boss in a large city is eight years. Some are put out of business in less time. Others, of exceptional shrewdness, last longer. I am bound to admit that absolute power for a long time is apt to harden or upset the {>esi balanced of ment His fall from power comes from within or without the gauization. In most cases it comes from within. In the coarse of eight years a man can make many friends; but, if he is human, he can cultivate a few first-class enemies.”

A Splendid Outing. The Cape May Real Estate Company treated their employees at Pittsburg to an outing. They left the Smoky City last Saturday, on Sunday they came down the bay in the steamer Cape May, and on Monday on a fishing excursion in the steamer Beech wood. In the party were:—Peter Shields, A. 8. Neeld, Arthur Weasels, D. K. Deeley, J. S. Newman, Charles Kidney, Charles Martin, William Weiss, Arthur Jones, Chaa. Cavitt, Andrew McSwiggin, Harry tore, Frederick Hetting, Hugo Cronley, J. W. Bauersmith, Miss Bessie MeCratty, Mias Hannah Keiger, Thomas Gillingham and George P. Hoft. Major S. E. Moore, Ralph E. Fhnn, J. W. Steiner.

The Trolley Service.

The Philadelphia A Reading Railroad Company hae just completed a trolley line along Washington street from their station at the head of Ocean street to Schellenger’s Landing. The service was ' inaugurated last week and they now running this line in connection with the Ocean Street Passenger Railroad, which they own, and with the Cape May, Delaware Bay A Sewell's Point Railroad. They maintain a service between the three points of Scbellenger’s Landing, Sewell's Point and Cape May

Point.

Service Excellent. Both the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading Railroad have laid heavier rails to Cape May and are giving this resort better and more excellent service than before. The Pennsylvania Company when its makes its last summer schedule ab.iut July 1 will include trains from Broad Street Station, which the Cape May business seems ready to warrant the company In doing.

Our Good Sfreets.

Along tbe line of purely municipal

provements many of the streets have been improved and Washington street, the leading business thoroughfare of the t-wn has been macadamized. Beach avenue, which Is a boulevard skirting the ocean front with nothing between it and old Neptune but Cape May’s boardwalk, has been regraveled and made a handsome piece of roadway. In addition to the excellently made streets of

Cape May there ha» been c©

by the county authorities many miles of good roadway out into the country

districts at a cost of about 940,000.

CHILDREN’S DAY SERVICES. Appropriately Celebrated In Three Churches Sunday. Children's Day was observed last Sunday evening in the Presbyterian, First Baptist aud First M. E. Churches. The eburd^a were all tastefully decorated for the occasion with palms, liowers, and {Kitted plants, and amid these the various programs were rendered. The singing was exceptionally fine, the children acquitting themselves very creditable manner in both musical and declamatory exercises. Large congregations attended, and the day waa a fruitful one to those who atteided.

Bathing Accommodations. The facilities for sea hi thing are just as good as heretofore and the accommodations are better as far as bathhouses and conveniences on the beach front are concerned. The city authorities have ordained, however, that no person shall, walk through the streets attired in bathing costume without Tx-ing subject to u penalty for disobeying the ordinance. This applies to all persons over the age of 15 yeats. . The bathing season has begun in earnest, the water having reached a temuerature which ia both pleasant and he^thful for the bathers. AtCapeMay thwbathing hours are between. 11 aud 1 o'clock and no matter at wbaA time of the tide, the smooth, hard asft gradually sloping beach affords the safest of bathing grounds, where no ropes or life lines are used or needed to protect life. It is seldom that a drowning accident occurs at Cape May, and when it does the cause isgenerally that a daring swimmer tries to go beyond the end of, the ocean pier, or some other similar

exploit.
