“CUire,” m Book of lUmimtux-“P*-nu " la Um PhllaiWlpkU K««ln»c Uullrtin. 114Ml Satunlny erenlnjc Mid M-oat tbv book recently erHlUu by n rr*l«l#nt of C«pe May: From Kdirln Klrkman Hart baa bon. rrcrivr.1 a copy or a book lu which, under the Ucle of ••Claire," hr baa written "a romance of American numehood.’’ Mr y»rt baa made a atudy of the life of the women who mlnlater to the nick and aufferinu In our hospital*, and It haa profoundly Imprre-ed him with theiraplrit of self aacriflce and their noble derotlon to duty. HieobaerratIona, which have been made laicely In Inatltutioua lu Fhil«aelphla and In other part* of the State, have ^iveu him ample opportuaity to collate uumerou* Incident* la llluatratlon of the fidelity of theae women and the daily beauty which ahine* in the lives of many of them who have no other thought' than consecration to the service of humanity. From these incidents he ha* woven a tale of sentiment, pathoa and love, the scene* and characters being drawn chiefly from city and rural life and some of them likely to be rrcogrixcd easily by Philadelphians It is pleasantly and brightly told, la filled with a w holesome .domeolfc spirit, and shows how morality and religion may go hand in hand with the progress of the healing art. As an idealisation of the trained nurse In her modern Held of activity, and at the same time as a portrayal 0 f t he shadows and trials and toll of her exUteooe. it dwells upon a theme which has not hitherto been taken up, iu like manner, by any writer.”

T1KS VP HOAD KX-TKNKIONH No Now Workln Jt-rwfj Vntll Proeent Contract* Are Paid For Under a new Interpretation of the law AUte Road Cuni’iiMsloner Hutoblnoon l« determined that no morn coatracta fur Improved roads shall be sanctioned until 1907 utiles* the next legislature makes an extra appropriation for such work* because nil funds now available are required for work already contracted fpr. The appropriation of last winter Is not available iiutil November 1 next, and the appropriation of the next legislature will not be available until a year later. At the latter date It wilt be too late in the fall to do any road work, and so the operations will have to go over nntil the following spring. The only relief In sight Is the possibility that the Legislature will make an extra appropriation, to become available as 1 as it laatpproved, but this Is hsrdly likely to be done. For the past ten year* It ha* been the practice of the Hoad Department to sane tlon contracts in the several counties before the State was in position to pay its one third of the expense, sometime* even before the Legislature had appropriated the money.

Sanguine Texas Congressman A Washington corn*pendent has this to gay about a summer resident of Windsor avenne. Cape May: Notwithstanding his remoteness from Washington Hon. Albert Sidney Bnrleson, representative in Congress from the Austin, Texas, district, is a frequent visitor during the dull season, looking after the interests of his constitnents. No member of the House works harder, or pays more attention to the demands made upon him than Mr. Burleson, who, since his advent here in the Fifty-sixth Congress, has won the respect and esteem of all hi* nssociate*This young Southerner takes the most intense pride In his own State, and believes that the Dune Star State is yet to be the most brilliant star in the political constellation. “Texas Is moving along with giant strides.” said Mr. Burleson, when here the other day on one of his periodical Washington trips, “and It is hard to conceive any condition of affaire that can hinder its ultimate attainment of first place in the sisterhood of states. The only drawback we have exnerienoed of late is the excessive rainfall, bnt that will probably not do more than delay onr planters. Every town In tb^ state is adding to its population, bnt while there is no boom, there Is plenty of business, plenty of work and a general era of prosperity.”

Heading’* Dining Car Service The Philadelphia & Reading Rallwav announces that the Dining Car Service inaugurated on June 19th by the operation of Dining Cars in conjunction with the Central Railroad of New Jersey, week-days, between Philadelphia and New York as follows: A la carte breakfast will be served on 7.00 and 8.00 A. M. trains in each direction. A La Carte lunch on the 1100 noon and 1.00 P. M. trains In each direction and Table d’Hote dinner at 11,00 per Capita on the 5.00 and (100 P. M. trains each way. Mr. S. W. Derr, the Superintendent of Dining Car Service, having formerly been Assistant Superintendent of the same partment of the Baltimore and Ohio &. R. thoroughly understands the needs of travelers and will spare no efforts to accommodate and please the Reading’s patrons.

The July Smart Set. Gertrude Atherton never writes an uninteresting story. Her novel, "The Traveling Thirds,” which opens the July Smart Set, is a particularly striking j'd-e of wort, foil qf brilliant dialogue and «xquisit dits of description. The tale concerns the adventures of a .party of Americans who travel through .^pain third class, in order that they mUy coin»into close contact with the peop e oi country. The heroine, f'atalinn shore is as indepeudenl, as originial. as refreshing as the authors famous Patience Sparhawk. The love story in “The Traveiiug'niirds” is delightful, and the sensational denouement is one of the most dramatic scenes which "rs. Atherton has ever written. The Smart Set has published a long line of novelettes which have lived a far greater length of time than the usual magazine story, but Mrs. Aterion’s latest peice of fiction will win even a more lasting measure of

praise.

The short stories In this number cover a wide field. Federic Taber Cooper, the well-known literary critic, contribnt^s his first story to any magazine—a wonderfully strong stndy of a woman in » trying situation. It is called "Mrs. Pawiing's Subterfuge.” Harold 4lacGretii tells in his easy and charming way an excellent story, *‘A Dress Rehearecl,” and Beatrix Demurest Loyd, who is so very rapidly coming to the front rank of American anthors, contributes “The Idolatry of Shirley Barr,” the finest thing she has yet wrihten. Eliis Parker Butjer is a real humorist, and in "The Grafters” he handles a unique plot aa bonly he knows how to 4o. Gilbert Frankau, the ton of "Frank Danby,” la represented by a bizarre little tale happily called "Two Recurring.” Other remarkably original stories are by Emms Wolfe, Eleanor H. Abbott, Kargret Temple, and Tom Masson; and .there is one in French by J. Marina. Edgar Faltru. who is always epigrammatic, has fairly outdone himaeli in bia essay, "The Importance of Being BomeTlae poetry is the beat ^hat America produces, and comes from tech favorite writers as Arthur Stringer, Theodosia Garrison, Frank Demater Shennau, John Vance Cheney.

A Year’s Improvements Cape May proper never looked better urn it does this year, barring a couple of blocks on the main street which have been partly demolished to make room for the 1100,000.00 station of the Pennsylvania Railroad which will probably be built Inside of another twelvemonth. The improvemei ts to the beach front, together with the increased water supply and the adoption of a sewage system, latter of which has alone has cost more than 1100,000.00, have been constructed by tax paying citizens of the town as an mragenent to the Pittsburg syndicate which is developing the New Cape May portion and also others who might feel disposed to come to Cape May aud invest their money in lands and properties within Its territory. Tne new sewage ‘yitem which has been comp'eted since last year consists of a network of pipes laid through the resort which run into an intersecting ms'n to the new pumping station the poruer of MadUoh Avenru and Corgie reel and from which the sewage is forced ■n-c miles through Ahe main to a point ■ Dele ware Biy two miles north of the olntof Cape May and pvacticaily fire miles away from the beach front of resort. This system has only been in operation for a little more than two months and is working

as fully.
