TWO FINB WATERY GRAVE Margaret Masterson, parlor maid 1 and Katie Charles, chambermaid at 1 a large hotel were drowned Tues- 1 day at 4:15 o'clock, while bath- 1 ing opposite the Windsor pavilion. The ■ tide has been unusually high for sev- ■ eral evenings and the surf somewhat boisterous, and it is supposed that the ' unfortunate victims became alarmed at ' the urusual conditions and succumbed. Olga Scboanavild, another 1 maid from the same hotel was ■ with tham and after trying to persuade ' them to be cautious retreated shore- j < ward and soon afterward noticed that | : her companions were in difficulties and j i screamed loudly for help. Peter Coen. 1 '• porter at the Windsor Hotel and W. A. j' Holmes, a guest there from Philadel- 1 phia, hastened to the beach and rushed | thto the water to the rescue nut could j | see nothing of the two girls. The in- | ( client seems to have occurred very ' 3

-. T. ^jp - : judcnly. -Spectators on the porches j of the Windsor say that the girls "j seemed to have waded out up to their k necks and yvere using white wings, en3 deavoring to swim and float with their aid. S- vera! colored bathers took up E the aearch almost immediately and succeeded in landing the body of Katie ! Charles. Dt. T. C. ISreenwaW, of j Chambersburg,_Pa. , at once proffered J j his aid in efforts to resuscitate her. I He was soon afterward joined by Di. Wa'es and Dr. W. A. Lake, of this city, ^nd Captain Eldredge. Charles Rutheiford and George Ewing, of the 11 Cape May Life Saving station, all of i- whom worked scientifically over the body for an hour but without avail. * The other body has not yet been rtcov- ' ered. The girls had been employed ' - here all summer. The remains were taken charge of by 1 j Coroner W. H. Thompson. ^ ij Their fellow employees speak very i. highly bf the two girls who were of a ' ;l group who have been working together ' in different places for five years. '

The score stood 10 to 4 in | favor of Atlantic City, but Cape May s a j half of the ninth added five to their s - score and gave the numerous spectators a variety of thrills which compensated J for the previous dullness.

J, Melvln. of this city, ac- • companied by Acting Chief George !* Hickey, went to Millville Tuesday in response to the summons of the 8 State Commission which is examining • into excise matters. We wonder why? f We are so truly\good here that it d seems a trifle superfluous to waste valuable time inquiring about our 8 doings. C» (p « 8 Everybody should interest themselves n j in the continuance of golf here. It ia ' an important feature of Cape May and y a golf resort is certainly preferable to 8 | a merry-go-round resort. Hotels should I contribute and hand out complementary • j tickets to guests. It would probably • prove a pay in invgestment. « J • <W (. i Some Ohio visitors recently here are s enthusiastic admirers of a gentleman b i residing in Lincoln, Neb. , who^is occas- ; e j ionally, or everj- little bit, a candidate j . j for the presidency of the United . States, and the only man who ever f made a financial success of being a det feated'eandidate. Many of our readers may be able to recall the gentleman's . name, but for the benefit of the others . "^e will say that reference is made to» i one William J. Bryan. He is a promi-' . nent American at any rate and haa r mauy admirable qualities, but. of r course, it wouldn't do to make him I t president. In the role of defeated can- I i didate he is unique and distinctive, but I | j if once elected his usefulness would be . j destroyed, his means of livelihood . | taken fiom him and we would be in a . heap of trouble with the Ship of State ' . yawing and jibing because of the uncertain hand upon the tiller. We will ( not be likely to have another Bryan, ! ; so it will be wisdom to keep him at i r the profession in which he has been such a great success, that of defeated . candidate. ; The steamer "Lina" will resume its daily trips between Cap" May aiid- .

It is obvious that their' doings nnnot be published with propriety. but they are, nevertheless, "on | the job" c instantly snd[the recipients of complaints on almost every subject. ! Harsh criticism of men in the ser- ' i vice of the public is the rule with a I number o( newspapers and'wrh a numj of people. With many newspapers i and many men the bearing of facts re- j I ceived no consideration. We happen to be cognizant, some years ago. of some public work in a large city, and having i ; been given through the grace of a | friend, an opportunity to view the ! work, was much impressed with the! | engineering skill displayed and with I j the care taken to insure the proper quality of materials used. Our mentor | . ' and gujde in the matter was a gradu- 1 : i ate of Cornell, who was one of the I ' I corps of engineers on the work and j | who was enthusiastic about it from a I scientific standpoint. The examinations were quite exhaustive aod inter- 1 ' esting. We were surprised to read a j j day or two after, in a newspaper of , the cit) in question that every detail of the work was fraudulent and that j no proper materials had been used. | was glaringly untrue and we i were informed afterward, that the t of tiie paper, a personal friend of the contractor, had been seen, and J requested to send representatives to ]

investigate and discover the fact*, bat \ was told that nothing of the kind ' would be done, dace it was' the policy ' " Sof the newspaper to condemn the administration and all its works I This may be excused as justifiable IP from the standpoint of the newspaper, tfc by complaisant critics, but what sort of a view of matters is the public I'ke>d ly to get from a newspaper governed » y such a policy? / ft A A t An Irishman, always known Mt - Democratic, was recently asked which candidate for the presidency he mc tended t6 vote for, and su-priand ,e his questioner by saying, "Taft." ~ "What," said his interlocutor, "Why, je you're a pemocrat."

The purpose of t the meeting has already been stated in 1 a former issue but lest someone should j tie unacquainted with the facts we , make this repetition. On account of many of the old members of the church s having removed from Cape May it ^ has not been supported and maintained as many of its friends have desired, and accordingly the above date was named as a time when all the members ^ and friends could be present and make . contributions for the thorough renovating and painting of the old structure. An interesting program has been prepared and the attendance of every friend of the church is desired. For • nearly two hundred years the Old Brick ha* beeu intimately connectedfwith the lives aud history of the people of lower Cape May county and for that and other reasons is entitled to loyal support.
