\ CAPE MAY HEIGHTS (Prom the Laurel Springs Conner) The Atlantic City Railroad Company has 'built a platform here and will stop all local trains in both directions. A pretty new station will be built here immediately, and a aiding will be put in to accommodate the large amount of freight and building material being j •hipped here. The first free excursion, opening 1 day last Sunday. November 22d ^ brought forty-eight people down and ' nearly every one in Jthe party bought In some lots before they left A large i number of people came from Cape < May and the surrounding country, and 1 over $6000 worth of lots were sold the j first day. Everyone liked the place 1 and predicted a rapid'growth and a ' great future. All the natural advan- 1 ' tages of seashore and country combined , make it tbe most desirable summer c resor^near Philadelphia. I Mr. A. G. McCauBland. the genial » superintendent of the Atlantic Oity j Railroad, has purchased three choice t lota on Ocean View avenue, Cape May c Heights, near tbe station, and will J build a fine summer residence which £ will be [completed in time for next summer. He considers Cape May Heights a delightful place for a sum mer home end a safe place to buy lots a for investment. b Mr. O. A. Weidener, a popular rail- a road man, assistant superintendent of ti tbe Atlantic Oity Railroad, has pur- n chased three fine lota on Ocean View o< cnasea inree nne lots ucean view

The bride is a lineal descendant of Captain Miles Standish and allied on both her mother's and father's 'side to many old Colonial families of Massacusetts and Connecticut. She was given in marriage by her father, who • is a member of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and of the firm'of De Silver and Barclay. The bride was attended by ber sister.

J. Brognard Betta, assistant superinof public instruction, said that these figures do not represent the entire savings of the people of New Jersey school expenses for the reason that snch expense increases at the'rate of about $1,000,000 a year. Last year the lo^al appropriations aggregated $6,360,840, and had it not for tbe increased railroad taxes the aPDropriarinnn rhi» yfr would j have been over $6,000,000. The actual i nave Deen over *o,uw,uw. i ne actual

i appropriations this year amount to $2,994,000, so that the actual saving to the people of tbe state is over r $8,000,000. I Mr. Betts stated that another benefit . has been that many school districts » have been enabled to improve their t school property without increasiug tbe t tax rate or issuing, bonda^ In several r i ca«es, he said, land haa*been purchased and buildings erected without an iu- : creased tax rate or bond issue being I tbe first time in years that such a conI dition has prevailed. The worries of a weak and sick mother are only begun with tbe birth of her child. By day her work is constantly interrupted and at night her rest is broken by the wailing of the peevish, puny infant Dr. Pierce's Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It lightens all the burdens of maternity, giving to mothers strength and vigor, which they impart to their children. In about forty vears of practice Dr. Pierce and bis associate staff of phyalciaiB have treated and cured more than half a million sufferwomen. Sick women are invited consult Dr -Pierce by letter free of charge. All correspondence is strictly private. Add icsa Dr. R. V. Pierce. Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, N. T.

A [ EXPLANATION INI C0MUNICATHW s- A communication printed ia these columns in our issue of November 21st, ,y from an esteemed correspondent^ critic cised certain statements made tjy the >8 Newark Star, which was Jcharged with £ being the "chief organ of the liquor e traffic in the State.' ' We thought this statement and other criticisms extravagant to say the leaatj and we accordingly referred the article to the editor of the Newark Star for reply. s Tbe reply was received too iate for ' last week but is published below. Ine cidentally John J. Leidr. the editor of the Newark Star, has spent several f seasons at Cape May and is a great 0 friend of the resort and his paper ia " one of tbe most vigorous paper* 'gdi1 torially. In tbe State and ia widely B Mr. Aaron W. Hand. 8 Editor Cape May^Star and Wave : My Dear Mr. Hand : " Your note and enclosed communication received. I observe that tbe 5 writer begins his article with the ' statement that the Newark Star, ^ morning and evening, is "The chief organ of the liquor traffic in this State." (That is a stupid falsehood and ' tbe individual who made the statement did so without the slightest evidence | and without knowledge. A man who prefaces 111* remarks with a lie, ia a zpslot without nrincinlp or hnnplv - ' zealot principle

° Tbe body of the communication dia0 plays ignorance of .politics and political events Jin the State. JThe writer is a local option prohibitionist of tbe extreme typeflf State Agent Burke, who 8 affirmed before the election that he | r had secured a majority of the Aasem- j 1 bly candidates pledged to local option. Tbe League gave out names cf the pledged ones and a number of the candidates promptly repudiated Burke 1 1 and'his pledges. Now aa to results, i In Essex County, Senator Dolby, candidateffor reelection, was pledged. He i : waa beaten for reelection in a con- < 1 flict which gave Taft 23,400 plurality. ; Both in Essex and Hudson, the local i option endorsed candidates for sheriff i were beaten by large pluralities while both counties voted for Taft "In Somerset County. Mr. Frelinghuyaen was 1 I strongly opposed bY the automobile 1 clubs and the falling off in his vote \ Ss due entirely to this opposition. 1 ey spent money freely and used C social influence to defeat him. lo ; Salem, a Democratic candidate was I elected to the Assembly by 1107 While J the vote gave Taft 540. The local n option candidate was defeated. As the d total vote io Salem was 4452, while E j the Democratic candidate received 2780 votes, leaving 1672 votes to be divided h the two other candidates, it ia £ to see where the local option can- c didate got 2500 votes as your veracious c candidate asserts. In Union County local option was simply nowtiere in the S election. It wfis the same in Middle- S sex. Mercer, (iloucester. Onmrien nnrl r Gloucester. i

Burlington. Every Repulican candiI date who refused ro pledge himself to i local option was elected Iu Hunter1 | don County Matthews, the Democratic , candidate for Assembly, was not poou- J ; I Isr and was opposed by strong influence j i apart from local o tionjand yet he was elected. If the liquor interests spent < "tens of thousands of dollars ' the fact ] i wasn't in evidenc in the election, for | ; le-s money was expended than in any | previous election for a quarter of a ] century. But the results .of the elec- j f I tion will appear in the legislature ] where there will not be a corporal's guard in favor of a Crosby local option I bill. Your ^veracious correspondent possesses an hallucination that the i Statejis divided into two tribes, the ( people who don't want aaloo ns and the \ interests. If that queer notion true, how long would it take for £ the people to abolish the liquor interests? He is sublimely ignorant of the t liberal sentiment that is always ar- £ rayed against extremists and fanati- £ cisms and that comprises a majority of a state like New Jersey. The'great ! p populous centres are cosmopolitan, in i

their ideas and ways. Where people of ' alT 'nationalities and creeds rub up to8 gether they iearn from each other, borg row from each other and get rid of - many of their morbid prejudices. A ^ country town or little village which has 'f a population all alike has narrow en- j vironments and a parochial spirit | shows different characteristics. A [ clergyman who mixes mostly with ] women and children and spends his life I , infstudy and pastoral work, particular3 ly in small populations, .always haa con- ' true ted ideas in secular affairs. Local I | option will never be adopted in New | Jersey. It is an impossibility and a logical absurdity on the-plan proposed ] 1 by Mr. Crosby. Governor Fort doesn't [ favor it and never will. In tbe near . future the liquor question will be seti tied on a rational basis, that is to Bay, j ; with a recognition? of the rights of : all tbe people of the State and di- 1 vorced altogether from the religious 1 question. , Very truly youra, JOHN J. LEIDY. Six carloads of building material, ' incleding concrete mixing machine and block moulds, came through Sea Isle > Oity on tbe way to Stone Harbor. This ia to start tbe -building of a new hotel. |
