As soon as the summer travel to the seashore is over both the Pennsylvania and Atlantic City Railroads will begin the work of improving their lines in and around Camden. The West Jersey A Seashore Railroad Company intends to elevatg its track* through Camden, the Atlantic City Railroad will depress its tracks so as to pass under the West Jersey A Seashore Railroad. This will do away with a dangerous grade croering and at the same time allow the | Atlantic City Railroad to gain severs! minute*, as the trains will not have to Mow down to croes these tracks. The West Jersey A Seashore Railroad Company has acquired all the nrneeesry right of way to construct its elevated road. In some places the dwellings have been demolished and everything is in readme* to go ahead with the work as soon as the word is given. There may, however be a change in the plana, as the company Is not poshing the new work as much as it was doing a few months ago The labor troubles and the high price for material may be the cause of postponing the improvement until the conditions are more propiti-

It has been remarked by many via • ho have seen Cape May for the first time (bat the resort >* possessed of nstursl advantages peculiar u> no other resort on the Atlantic Coast. This is particularly so of the soil which produces the fiue-i of flowers. It is the only resort where the tnaiolstui exU-nda into the ocean and the foliage and verdure which grows ben cannot be grown successfully at any otb> resort, for the reasons that they are s white sanded islands which sre surrounded by meadows sod creeks of salt w At Cape May the tree* and sbrnbberv grow to good heights right on the edg< of the ocean and nearly every cottage here in Cape May posacase* s bandtomr bed of hydraugias and the big blooming plant* are adored by the thousands of visitors who pass up and down the and well shaded aveonoa on which the wealthy people of the larger cities side.

Some Bouquets. The A-burv Park Press shows it doe* not harbor envy Cape May, as > on the coast, when it says: •‘Cape «iy, the oh&st resort in Uua country, is making a tremendous effort to regain lost prestige 'and important improvK ment* are under way that will unobubtedly make the movement successful! The really good resort section of the Atlantic coast is so limited that in the long run no one place need fear ruinous competition from another. There will be business enough for all. We wish Cape May every possible success." The Atlantic City Press has thi* to ly: ‘'There should be no feeling of rivalry or jealousy between the resortof the Jersey Coast. The patronage is increasing every year beyond the power of one or** dozes resorts to accommodate. Atlantic City will be glad to see Cape May take her proper place among the great resorts of the country and will render anv aid in her power to give." '

Jo Mr. Sussex Delaware Davis, of Hay-

market, Va. Miss Cannell has been a prominent figure in society since her debut, a few winter* ago, and her engagement, which j* the outcome of a courtship at Cape May this summer, is a surprise to her friends. She sailed with her parents for Europe on Satur day last, going to Switzerland, where it la not Improbable that Mr. Davis will join them later. The wiylding will probably take place immediately after Mias Cannell’* return to this country next June. Mr. Davis is a eon of Mr. and Mrs. Delaware 8.
