Harry Warner ha* hi* head working all the lime. There 1* no gue** w about hi* work. The fact that he h an old Cape May boy doe* not influence Ihi* statement. Regard let* of all other thing*, Warner proved hlmaelf a baseball player. Johnaon had an off day. He U about the safest player on the Cape May baseball team. Never a heavy hatter, he generally ha* “the eye” and gel* to Unit pretty often and i* one of the best base runner* on the team, while in the field he la uaually dependable. Yeslerdap he got mixed up with the long gras* and one of the error* charged to him was entirely excusable. And then why shfaild there have been the change at third? Why should not the ball player who played the last innings on third have been on the bag from the start ? Why should there be this everlasting trying out of men in a matched game? Cape May won because of the aplendid superiority of her battery. The infield ought to be kept together to play good ball.

Beautiful American Girl Fitting Her*eU lor Regeneration of the Heathen in Celestial Empire

Twenty-three year* ago Dr. J. H. Ingram and Min Satlie Von were united in marriage. Miss Von was a daughter of Mr. and Mr*. Krekiel Von of South Heaville, (’ape May county, the father having since died. A premarital agreement had been ari^ved between the young couple that the Chinese mission field should be their objective point, and labor* in that field in the interest* of Christianity vilization be their life work. It was a great sacrifice on the part of the bride, and the farew ell* to parents friends were said with saddened hearts and tearful eyes. Love, trust, ifidence and religious real wi dominant sentiments which strengthened and supported them during the long voyage across the sea. Dr. Ingram, on becoming settled at the mission at Tung Cboo, entered earnestly upon his duties as medical missionary, the young wife, too, finding many duties in connection thereith incumbent upon her. In lime three children were born to them, twi horn lie buried beside their mother in that far away land, the mother dy-' ing two weeks after the birth of the child, a daughter, given the name of Ruth. Bulb is now sixteen yean of age, and about ten day* ago reached her grandmother's home at Mouth Heaville. She wa* met In New York by her uncle, George Ingram, of Trenton. Miss Ingram is a moat lovely character and ha* had excellent training at the miaaion, and is well educated. The chief object of her vialt at this time, next to visiting relatives, is to pursue i four year*' course of study at Oberlin College, Ohio, her intention being to return to her father alTungChoo after graduation, and engage in the work there to which she has become so de-

votedly attached.

Father and daughter had narrow escapes from being put to death during the Boxer uprising, making their eathi* country. Here Dr. Ingram again married, and returned to Tong Cboo. T. B. B.

lb. TschsKst World fax Julr. 1W7 »wn in the southern point of New Jeisey, where previously bad been a dreary waste ol barren meadow, cut criss-crossed with mosquito breedmil marshes and sluggish streams, seldom traversed by man, there ha* arisen a beautiful city, covering eight square uuiet, a wonderful land-locked harbor, fully capable of Coaling with ease lifly ocean liners, with adrydock, coaling station and repair yard.

lad.

Tills vast project lias required an outlay of more than ten millions of dollars, and before the finishing louche* are applied several more milon* will have been expended. At first glance thi* may seem a great amount lo spend on such a scheme, but when it is considered that city has been placed on the map —whereby millions of dollars in merchant shipping and many live* will clipped front the time required to j** the ocean to or from Philadelphia—that the Tnilcd Stale* Govemnent has acquired an important drategic naval base, and that the eoire souther.) half of a big state, for rears in a dormant condition, has been re-awakened, and this, too, without Ihe least detriment lo Philadelphiathen the stupendous nature of the -iffair is realized and the mere amount of money involved become* insignifi-

cant.

Thi* wonderful transformalioo, the work of an ordinary lifetime, ha* been accomplished in five years by the foreilght, energy and persistence of Peter Shields, a Pittsburg real eitate operaonly thirty-six year* of age. The «lory ot the regeneration of this forbidding country reads like the pages of a

fairy tale.

At the extreme southern point of Jersey lie* Cape May, once the finest of the American coast reaorta. In former days the best society of America patronized this spot. President Grant made it hia summer home and ratted from hia arduous labors ax the chief executive of this great republic, and President Harrison wm wont to stroll Its strand. _ In those days Cape May held .the proud title of the summer capital of the nation, and wm as much the summer resort of the country's wealth as

is Newport today.

In lime, however, Cape May paid the full penalty of its inactivity and lack of energy , and the modern oda of Atlantic City and other summer cl ties, further north along the i blighted Its prospects, until the

proud queen of seashore reaorta wm i

forced U> bow Us bead, and rapidly

sank out of the notice cf the greater i

majority of the people.

This led to the growth, In the CMt and of the town, of a dreary stretch of ground three inlle» In length, known as “Poverty Beach," a name it richly deserved. It wa* a eecUoti shunned by all, a breeding ground for malaria.

and the many traveler* who saw It, hi their disgust and repul.ion at Us conditlon, neglected to observe the beautiful stretch of beach front w hich cmer gedgfroin thi* morass, level and firnt as a billiard table. In 1902 Peter rihtrld. paid a visit t» Cape May. He had ju.t nompletat tn conjunction with ex-tfenalor William Flinn and hi* son George, th - boring of a tunnel under Ml. Washing -

Other Pittsburg men of wealth *uljM-ribcd and finally when Shields went to Baltimore, from w hich Gape May recruits the majority of its guests, Govr Warfield wa* one of the first to place his name on the list. When Shields had secured his capital he at once set to w ork to plan the city, called New Gape May, which he intended should spring up in place of the barren sand dunw. The tow n w as to lie between the ocean and a harbor which had yet to be built, and w as to be large enough for*,500 homes. In order to carry out his ideas and tnbilion* this youg genius w as forced > do the following: Turn a few sail water ponds and atreanis into a deepwater, land-locked harbor with a channel protected from the ocean, ready for admission of Ships. Fill up eight square mile- of fiat, marshy ground and build it up into a

home.

All of the*e things this great “city builder," Shields, has accomplished. He built hi* harbor and town with a wonderful ly complete d rainage system, has erected his hotel, the finest on any shore, led people from all parts to buy ground until the place is almost entirely divided up, obtained the assistance of the tw o great railroads, the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia and Reading, and last but most important, obtained the appropriation by ths Government of 81.310,000 to deepen the entrance channel, and keep it in eondition, with the promise to adab-

'81 supply station at that

place.

The first step necessary to the development of these plan* was Ihe dredging of the harbor and at the lime the filling in of the low ground that is destined lo become the

New Gape May.

Tlie depth of the water wa* to be forty feet, and Shields awarded the largest dredging contract ever handed out except by the United States GovTlie dredging company aw arded the work pleaded that it had no dredge large enough to cope with the difficulties. Shields responded by building the greatest dredge In the country, which he called the Pittsburg, in honor of his home town. He turned it rer to the company in part payment. 8o great It the pow er of the dredge Plttaburg that it is capatMe of di* charging 22,000 gallons of material through the pipes «w«h minute. About the time be had installed his fifth dredge Shields acquired the entire Two-Mite Beach, w hich is really an Island, Just to the north’ of Gape May, and separated from it by the Gold Spring Inlet, which the Government will deepen for the channel entrance. A substantial bulkhead wm also constructed from Old Cape May to Sewell's Point, and around, a distance of 12^00 feet, and inside of this a boardwalk twenty feel In width.
