Working fire Laddies. Too much praise cannot be given to the Cape ''ay volunteer fire department for the diligent way in which they worked at the Newkirk fire on Beach avenue on Monday morning. Although somewhat bumpered by a high wind and by reasons of the extreme distance from the place of alarm they were quick in getting to the scene of the conllagration and after getting there were able to keep down the blase, which, if it bad gotten started, would not have ended until at least seven or eight cottages had been eaten up by^the flames. Although a volunteer department fo not equal to a paid one because of the alight independence of each member from commands given by those in authority, nevertheless, they did a great work anu are being greatly praised for it

The papers in the northern part of the Mate are talking of Assemblyman James M. K. Hildreth for speaker of the Assembly next year. It is certain that Mr. Hildreth will be returned to the la-gialalure for the third time st the coming fall election and ''ape May. anil be proud to have him preside over the Assembly, Cp to the present time Cape May County has never bad a speaker of the House or president of the Senate. Assemblyman Ross came within one vote of being the caucus nominee soiae years ago.

Mark Morton at his bouse in Lake Forest added that Mr. Bhonta la a lion hearted man. "nerer known to Aow the white feather," and related as proof of this an anecdote which he said was characteristic of tbe fiber of tbe man A strapping big fellow, a contractor who had a grievance against Mr. Shouts for some fancied wrong, called at his offica In the Rookery ten yenra ago and, as Mr. Bbonts was busy, had some delay In getting Into the private office. His greeting was that be had called to get even with Bhonta. "Looking up from bis desk.

Then Bhonta put nis bead out of the door, cool as you please, and told the office boy to ask the visitor to depart He went and Bhonta resumed his work. “That shows tbe physical energy of the men. One cannot say toq much of bla Integrity, force, ability and Judgment He showed all these things In the building of the Indiana. Illinois and, Iowa railroad years ago.

I do not be Here there Is a man In America more fit for the Panama task than Mr. Bhonta.” Mr. Bhonta left the practice of law to take charge of the practical work of railroad construction, and his first task considered a remarkable achievement Tbe Iowa Construction company had the' contract for building several Jirancb lines in Iowa, which hare now become part of the Iowa Central system.

If we allow ourselves to be drawn Into tbe disputes and controversies which sfb .vexing other classes and other industries we are getting away from the basic principle* of the grange.

Charles Wagner's “Simple Life" that will be a motto for tbe Simple Life club In 8L Louis, for which an ajiplicatiou for the pro forma dpcrA of Incorporation was recently mads to Judge Taylor's division of the circuit roart, My* tbe 8L Louis Post-Dispatch. Charles U. Spicer, president and organiser of tbe dab, who Is completing tbe equipment of tbe clubrooms, says that tbe intention of the club has h misunderstood because of the line drawn by the members between tbe strict application of all tbe axioms *astor Wagner and the critical application of part of them. In explaining his Idea of dab life which has attracted a sufficient number of young i to make the project an vos Mr. Spicer says: "Quiet and restfuloeaa'far removed from tbe ormeu in the downtown part of the dty Is our object “While we will not attes _ tbe ‘simple life’ aa portrayed In the book, we will attempt to estabU ‘ club headquarters where a ytang can go and find complete rest where be can have quiet to read or smoke or talk on things not objectionable In good society. We will draw the at gauuy furnishings or those things which tend to make life in so many dubs a burly burly existence." Mr. Spicer rays that lu telling of the objects of tbe club be has not contended that tbe dub was suggested to him from a reading of the book, but rather that It was suggested by the noise of the dty and the application of tbe lines from Wagner: “Tbe artificial life engenders artificial thonglit and a speech Uttle sure of Itself." ai

Tbe limit placyl on dnb membership will easUy be Med, according to Mr. Bpicer. and only the misunderstanding has caused him to violate Pastor Wagner’s Sfutizrent on publicity: “One of the chief proclivities of our time to tbe love of advertisement—to emerge from obscurity, to be in tbe pubUc eye. to make oueself talked of."
