Msuy attempts have been made to make Jewish settlements in the different Stales of the Union, hut for the most part they have resulted In failures, making the success of Woodbine all the more unlqne.

The first great crash of the came on Friday and Saturday of laat week, and moat of these arrivals were permanent visitors who will remain until the season doses in September. The cottage colony came on an average of a'week or two weeks earlier, while the permanent hstd guests have been coming for the past two addition to the regular crowd of visitor*. The coming of a holiday and Sunday in succession is always a time for an increase in the number ofriaitors to Cape May. Most of the booses were filled Snnday, and then there has been a slight falling off of the guests during the week—the usual condition of things

after the Fourth. O

No More floaquItoM. While Cape May baa fewer mosquitoes than most New Jersey seaside resorts, ees that it prill have none very shortly. The State entomologist, Prof. John B.

Among the visitors who are spending the summer at the Block ton are ’udge Slid Mrs. Richard T. Miller, snd the presence of the Judge here calls to mind the fact of time* when his father wa*r« prominent hotel man and proprietor of Congress Hall, and also Mayor of this irida resort. J udge Miller haa served /siihfally snd honorably in thedifferent courts of New Jersey for a period of twenty-one year*. He ia not unlike bis father, the late honorable Waters B. Miller, who served many time* as chief executive of Cape May, and who wo* s member of the New Jersey Senfor six years. It happened that. when Mr. Miller was Mayor on one occasion General Grant came to Cape May, as he did several times afterward*. The members of City Council at that time were hardy, industrious, plain people who were not given to dressing in the latest styles, and as they were rather hard at times to gather, snd a* most of them had not served at public functions, it occured to Mayor Miller, that owing to the short notice of the coming of President Grant, it would be better to form a reception committee from among the guest* of the hotel. The Senator thereupon picked out eight or nine of the most dressy of hi* guests, and informed them that they the City Council of this resort. When the train rolled into the station with the President this assumptive City Council were waiting in carriage*, and escorted him to Congress Hall. Ktsyot Miller, of course, in his dual capacity of host and mayor, received President Grant, and in tarn introduced him to the “Council.” After the introduction the President congratulated the Mayor upon the remarkably line business appearance of the men, who, as he supposed, were the governors of this resort, and predicted for Us future great sucwith such men at the helm. And General(irant never knew any difference and neither did the actual members of the City Council know of the affair til many years after. The death on Friday night of Hornet Lane Johnson, who was mistress of the White House during the incumbency of her ancle, James Buchanan, calls to mind the fret that-u was also the same Senator Miller who received President Buchanan upon his visit here while President The older persons can still remember James Buchanan's attendance the Methodist Episcopal Church, and can recall the instance of his walking up the middle aisle with Senator Miller, whose guest he was, and taking a seat near the front of the house of worahip. Senator Miller also entertained President Franklin Pierce when he visited

this resort.

The only other Presidents who have visited Cape May were Arthur and Harrison, and the latter resided here three season* during his Presidential term. IEI OK Ul SlIRTtD 01 mSMIMMIIIOURMOfe
