He uses natural remedies, that is extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by processes wrought ' out by the expenditure of much time < and money, without the use of alcohol, c and by skillful combination in just the , right proportions. Used aa ingredients of Dr. Pierce's 1 Golden Medical Discovery. Black t Cherry bark, Queen's root. Golden Seal , root. Blood root and Stone root, speoially exert their influenoe in cases f of lung, bronchial and throat troubles, 1 and this "Discovery" is, therefore a sovereign remedy for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, catarrh and kindred ailments. The above native roots also have the , strongest possible endosement from the leading medical writers, of all the ' several schools of practice, for the cure I not only of the disease named above I but also for indigestion, torpor of liver, or biliousness, obstinate consti- i 1 pation, kidney and bladder troubles , : and catarrh, no matter where located.

THE. TAX RATE | ^REDUCED : $1.84 THIS YEAR TO $2.15 LAST ! I Cape Mij is ii Better Skape i FiaasoaDy Than Most Resorts. | The tax rate for 1908 in the City of , r Oape May is $1,844. Last year it waa : $2.06 and Una year's rate shows s re- I t duction of 90 6-10 cents in the rate on \ < $100. The assessed valuations of prop- . erty have been increased somewhat , year. The tax rate is made up of : .201 for State school tax, .266 for 1 I county tax, 1.377 for city and school ' purposes. Cape May is certainly in better , 1 shape financially than most of the re- , I sorts. The water and sewerage sys- ' terns are both owned by the city and i in most other resorts this .is not the , case. The income from the water de- i partment is an important item in the ; i city's revenue and though there is no 1 annual fee collected for.the use ot the > , sewers, there probaoly could be and certainly would be.if the system were < I owned by a private company. The im- , ; mense expenditure of private capital i j for Uie creation of C-e harbor and for ] I tb&Jilliug'of the great area commonly . referred to as East Cape May has < created an asset of value to „the city ] as a wtiole and to every individual who ] . owns any property. Moreover this new j section of the city .pays over one-sixth i • the en tire, tax in the .place of the few i dollars collected from Jt a few .years ago. < , To have secured such an improve- 1 ment and such a development, there is 1 not a resort on the coast which would I not have oifered any inducement with- . in its power. If there is anybody in ' Cape Mayj disposed to hinder its pro- 1 Kress they are not, friends to the resort « nor to anybody who has interests here. 1 All that can be properly done for the * enterprise is small compared to the - gigantic results already achieved. 1 Two-thirds of the cost of sewers I is paid by. abutting properties and the sewsrage system, when per- s fected, will be.one of the most effec- j tive possessed by any city, incidentally, without proper sewerage facilities ouilding could not proceed. The entire appropriations for the present year will be assessed whereas J for 1906 and 1907 the assessments were less than the appropriations by several thousands of dollars. . Cape May's outlook is a bright one and the success of the presen tjseason is c au omen of much better seasons to 1 come provided no obstacles are permitted under the wneels of progress. tribute 10 fire department [ { Mr. Jos. Hanes, I Chief of Cape May Volunteer Fire v I Department, City. ; j My Dear Sir : — • t I For the splendid work in extinguish- a iog the fire at the Se« Crest Inn on the morning of August ,26, 1908, by your a Fire Department, we would express our deep appreciation. In our t excitement it took a long time to turn t in the alarm, but the response was d quick and in a very .short time a .large e number of men were on hand to fight £ the. flames. With the arrival of the department complete confidence was d restored. The telling action of the C prevented the spread and easily r extinguished what on such a windy night might _have proven a disastrous e conflagration. The situation ^was very t ably handled^and Cape May may well a congratulate icself upen possessing so capable a Volntecr Fire Department, v In behalf of the guests of the Sea Crest C aa well as of myself, I wish to * thank very r warmly you and all the met ; of ."your "company for your on- d selfish efforts and noble work which C meant so much to us. f Very Truly Yours, MBS.

HOTEL CAPE MAY > WILL CLOSE- I 5 MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON . " Ealargemeits ail lafrorewiti • to be Male Deface Amber Seasex faThe Hotel Cape JQy is to don on 1 October first, in accordance with the decisions of the directors of the Hotel j Company and will reopen in reedineee • for.the Easter holidays or before. The - chief reasons for the closing ie the • necessity for making numerous improvemfnts for the accommodation of e the patronage of the hotel. Kitchens, dining room, cafe are to be erilargeo. Quarters for the help are to beerfected, e a garage and bathhouses are to be • built. The phenomenal success of the ' house has made these improvements • necessary. The business of tbe.Hotc 1 Cape May has not been surpassed by any hotel whatever on the coast and 3 equaled by few and the balance on the right aide of the ledger has reached a very gratifying amount. Its success n is assured and another season with the e added facilities will be a much more successful one. It is pleasing to know 1 that the manager, Mr. J. P. _Doyle, " has received from the directors oi the n Company some very .handsome words - of appreciation for his successful man- " agement and that he is apt to remain in charge for some years ;to come. The 8 improvements will be made under his e direction and this will insure their ^ being properly^ done. The symmetry • and artiBtic taste which is so rexuark0 able in the decoration and construction 8 of the house are to be credited largely 1 to Mr. Doyle's watchful care. The chief clerk, Mr. Freu Allen, will r go to Hot Springs, Va., after leaving r hfire and will remain there a short 1 tiifTe. He will then return to Palm 1 Beach, Florida .where he is t^> be 4hief clerk at the great hotel known as." rue e' Breakers." His many friends here e will hope to welcome him back here ou i he reopening of tne nouse in the ? Spring. One of tile remarkable inci- - 1 dents of the success ot the Hotel Cape • May is the fact that a large percen, • tage, stated to be ninety per cent of - the guests who have remained there - for long and short periods during the ^ summer, have expressed a desire ito 1 make reservations tor tne season of . 1909. f HARTEL-KEED. j' Miss Ethel Reed, daughter ot Mrs. Thomas S. Reed, of 1601 Chestnut street. Philadelphia, was united in j marriage to Walter Warrington Hartel, of 21st and San aom streets, Fhiladel- ^ phia, at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Advent, here Monday 'morning at 11 o'clock. The ceremony ' • was performed Dy the rector. Rev. Arthur A. Hess. The church was s handsomely decorate i with brides' r roses and palms. The bride was at- : • tired in white satin cut semi empire and wore a tulle veil caught by a ' spray of blossoms. The only jewels ' she wore was a circlet of diamonds, the gift of the groom. Mrs. George W. E Edwards, sister of the bride was the ' mat i on of honor and wore a delicate shade of ol 1 rose, rarryiqg a large * ■ shower bouquet of roses of the same I color. The bride was given away by t her brother, William F. H. Reed. The best man was Oscar Hartel, brother of . the groom. The music was supplied , a Philadelphia orchestra which gave j the Lohengrin wedding march. The j wedding breakfast was served at the I ! family cottage^and was participated in . j by about two hundred, chiefly members of the family of the bride and groom. I j They left in the afternoon for an EXr tended wedding tour. The Reeds have . | been summer cottagers here for two generations and have one of the most | palatial summer residences in the IN MEM0RIAM. In loviDg memory^of my husband, John Chambers, died September 19, 1907. HIS WIFE.
