Charles Doll, the safety gate tender at the Reading Railroad crossing on Lafayette street, has made a picture frame to represent the Capitol at Washington. It is very unique, being made entirely from cigar boxes and by a penknife. It has a large dqme and pillars, with fifty steps at the entrance. He has painted it white and gilded the dome and lamp posts ia front of the building, also made a table especially for it to sit on and on top of this he nas carved 'flowels, mounds and a walk. The work was oonc in j his spare time and is just finished after ; six weeks' work. He has placed Tafts picture in its ] place, which makes it look very well. He values the frame at fifty dollars j but it is^doubtful if he would sell it^for | this price. j A NEW COTTAGE Lawyer S. F.

They are due the first of next week at (he same price as before the recent advance. | STILLE WINS VICTORY South Jersey Assemblymen, under the lead of Messrs. Nichols, of ,Cum- j berland and Stille, of Cape May, won a victory in the House Tuesday afternoon , when they defeated a bill prepared by ! the joint Fish and Game Commission , regulating fishing in the Delaware river between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Mr. Stille attacked the provision requiring a State license of $5 and county license of $1 for each net and that no net for shad shall be more than 200 fathoms. He also opposed the change ' of time for closing the shad' season from June;i5 to June 1, and prohibiting shad fishing between Saturday noon and 6 a. m., Monday. Under the pres- - ent law catching of these fish between sundown on Saturday >nd midnight San- - day is prohibited. The hill; Mr. Stille ; said, had many good provisions, especially those to prevent river pollution. PICTURES FRAMED^™ Smith's Studio, or H. T. Hughes, opposite Reading Station.

Gallagher, Matthews, Miller, ' Morton, and Willis being present ! Sir W. C. McDonnell, of Cape May, | ' was granted the courtesy of the floor i I to explain a disputed tax claim against I t the estate of the late Margaret Hum- I . phrey on Columbia avenue. It was J r shown that as the widow of a soldier] I she had been exempt for the years t 1893, 1894. 1895. 1896 and 1897,. when | I law was declared unconstitutional and j i a receipt was produced for 1898. On j i tuition the collector was directed to , i cancel the claims and to supply to the j neire a certificate to that effect A ( few bilk were ordered paid and when Oom/nittee, alM. Own.) i Gallagher, Property, reported She road ' scraper placed in good order and Chair- ] man Matthews of Fire and Water, that : tbe owners of properties with defec- j i tive - chimneys had promised to have - them repaired immeriately. He. also, 1 stated that firq plugs and hose had j \ been looked after as directed. > Solicitor S. F. Eldredge was then called upon for a resolution appointing | ■ a building inspector and advised that , before such appointment should be ! t made, ordinances Bhould be passed ! under charter's general powers, de- j j fining the duty of such an officer. Mayor Reeves BOggested that such an j I ordinance be drawn and presented : • for action at tho regular meeting. | Prof. Hastings was given the ; , courtesy of the floor aod explained > i certain matters relating to tbe protec- ; r \ tion of the health of the children of the j 1 town which resulted in a motion to . | prepare a circular to be distributed to i all parents explaining conditions and r I the placing of the marshal on active I duty for two weeks. It was also I agreed to urge the Board of Health to - j greater attention to duty. . I The committee on streets was di- , : rected to prepare such notice to autos r I to be placed at borough limits as was . I thought necessary and to place street 1 signs at all corners on Broadway. | Mayor Reeves then addressed the ^ | Council urging that a proper commit- • j tee take up matters of securing soiiI I able site for town hall and push along J | the matter of providing sewers. The . Solicitor advised that property could 3 not be purchased without authority by I a vote ol the people. Tbe Mayor urged ' attention to sewers aB a necessity not B as a luxury and called upon all present i to express themselves. The expressions 5 were favorable, but the opiuion seemed to be that tbe matter of financing the i improvement would present insur- j r mountable difficulties. The Mayor - ! promised to "keep at it" until some- j a ' thing is done. The meeting adjourned ; ® I to 8 :30 Tuestjpy evening to meet joint- j „ j ly with the Board of Health. ^ The adjourned meeting occurred at 1 f 8 :30 Tuesday evening after ' thejannual a school meeting, several members of the j 3 Board of Health bejpg present, and 1 prolonged discussion resulted in the . statement ef the members of tbe Board a of Health that they woold Rive care- " ful attention to 'their duties.

GRAND LODGE A. 0. U. W. MEETS : IMPORTANT WORK OF SESSION ! ; ] 1 Sone Iifimatin if Iiterest to ] Members aid Names of Officers Elected ! . i The Grand Lodge of New Jersey, A. < - O. U. W., held its annual meeting at < | Trenton on Thursday and Friday of ] [ last week, there being probably two y hundred representatives, past masters \ and other^nemberajof tbe Grand Lodge ( in attendance. The sessions were held { in the Hotel Rudolf and most of those , in attendance wero the guests of the < hotel, including also, a number of ] f ladies, wives and relatives, who annually enjoy the trip. It was univer- , | sally the opinon that no pleasanter , session was ever held. From Oape , May Lodge, No. 21, of this city, H. S. I Rutherford and A. W. Hand, went as , representatives -and Joseph O. Ohanneli I was present as one of the Grand Lodge officers. Grand Gnide, from which he was promoted to be Grand Overseer. | In 1911, according to the custom of ' i promotion which prevails, he should ■ | become Grand Master Workman. | ' There were several important mat- ( | ten discussed during the sessions, that | ' j which mem ben of tbe order at large i ■ | were most interested in, being the j . I question of extending the operation ot . ! what is known as the "Optional Level i j Rate Plan" to cover from age 18 to - ; age 60," instead of from age 18 to age , ! 45 as heretofore. The Grand Lodge , after prolonged discuasion decided that 1 I I no change shodld be made. There were ' i j comparatively few members of tbe , order who understood the meaning of . tbe proposed amendment to the consti- 1 . ! tution on this subject which was * , i printed and- distributed with the lest ' , j month's assessments, aw}, tbsflght' ik i meant a proposition to increase rates. . ] It meant nothing of the kinfl, however, ' t j but as stated above, was merely a pro- ^ . j position to extend the operation of the . j "Optional Level Rate Plan" to age 1 60, and had no beariflg whatever upon ' I ! the rates under tbe "Classified Plan," ! i which covers all of the certificates in , the hands of Cape May members. . ^ Under the "Optional Level Rate 1 Plan," a member pays, all his life, the , I rate scheduled for the age at which he I joins. Under the classified system, . rates advance each five years, reaching a maximum at age 50, and remaining ' , at this point during the life of mem- ^ 1 ' bers. The adoption of the proposed : amendment would not have effected , j any member of the order, but to rej move all cause foi apprehension, it j . | was voted down. In common with : ' , members of other fraternal insurance ^ , or^prs, there are numerous members j j who rarely or never attend lodge and j consequently know little or nothing | , about the laws or operations of the ^ , order, but are, nevertheless, ready on 3 suspicion and without iufoimalion, to ' condemn the order, and spread lurid . tales.detrimental to it on the slightest s provocation. They do not seem to B realize that it is the duty of one mem- J t ber as well as of another to attend . . , . . V I meetinas and to assist in carrying on • , the business of the lodge or order and . to be loyal to it. It would be merely a common busi- , ( ness precaution to attend lodge meet- j - ings often enough to keep informed, , I instead of adversely criticising on so > many occasions merely because of a ] I lack of knowledge. If a man is not | ' capable of working with other men to j , t attain a common object he should not j 8 enter organizations founded for mutual j i cooperative effort. The A. O. U. W. 8 of New Jersey had accumulated a re- I , ' serve fund up to December 31st, 1908, ' r of $155,366.41, which includes (an item i - of interest earned during the fiscal i 3 year of $3953. 13, and is today financial- j , * I ly stronger than ever before in' its his- ■ tory. It has paid out during the fiscal , i year $16. 100.20 to beneficiaries. ' The | t i entire accumulation in' the Emergency j i | Fund has been accomplished in three | '• e years. The total membership in the i j State on January 1st was 5192. Another | . e important matter accomplished was a I d settlement with the Supreme Lodge of j - the United States on amicable terms. 1 1 Tbe Emergency Fund is carefnlly in- { n vested under the direction of exper- ' ienced financiers in. staple securities. y Other business transacted was chiefly II of routine character. A commission was appointed to enter into a thorough investigation of all matters concerning ,6 the order in New Jersey to report at the session of tbe Grand Lodge) to be -

held in Atlantic Oity at tbe oanal time in March, 1910. The officers ejected to serve for tbe ensuing year were: Grand Master Workman, D. Berkeley Paatorius, of Newark; Grand Foreman, John O. Clopper, of Camden; Overseer, Joeeph C. Channels, of Oape May ; Grand Guide, EL McWbood. of Newark; Grand Inside Watchman. S. B. Munyan. of Woodbury ; Grand Outside Watchman, J. "W.

CAPE MAY YACHT CLUB IMPROVEMENTS TO FLEET Some Large and Swift Boats to be Added for oeit Season While the meeting for the preparation of a summer schedule of events is not likely to occur until ,Msy there is great activity among members of the Cape May Yucht .Club in preparation for the coming season. That the of "the resort in yachting and in the swiftest boats will be fully maintained goes without saying. The harbor is ideal for boating and ia go- ' ing to be in the future the scene of stirring yachting events. Commodore Wilson, one of tbe most enthusiastic members of the club led the way for an active season by beginning tne construction of a new and modern boat house with all the conveniences, not only for boating but for the entertainment of friends, and be has located it upou ihe harbor near tbe Former Commodore- Chris Gallagher has launched a new and powerful boat in Florida waters and has been win- ! ning events at Palm Beach. This boat will be a desirable acquisition to the .Cape May yacht fleet and will be brought north at the close of tbe Florida season. The Scon boys, Messrs. Lewis and Alexander Scott, of Philadelphia, have launched a fine boat the "An Revoir." She is 45 feet in length and 14 feet beam, a Herreshoff boat, carrying a 50 . horse Standard engine and costing , She is to be decked over and used for cruising a great deal of the j Tne "Princess," owned by M. E. Heise. aud >3anaged by Captaiu A. t Walter Bennett, is being thoroughly overhauled and practically made new. I She will have double guards, bright plank sheer and new companion way I aft. She won one of the Fourth of July cups iu the cruiser class. B. 1. Giobons, ot Philadelphia, who owns the swiftest boat on the coast haa ' i purchased a larger one by the same I builder, William Cassedy, Jr., which ' ] he believes will break all speed records ' in these waters. She is a 40 footer and - 1 will install a 100 or 150 horse;Sintz ' ! engine. It is predicted that she will ; ! make trom 30 to 32 miles per hour. 1 j The "Scbwana, " owned oy J. Spicer Learning, will install a)12 horse Stand- ' | ard engine and be otherwise imU Vice Commodore Walter Starr, of I j Philadelphia, will place his "Cora" in ] commission April 15th and is having ' j installed in her e 10 h. p.JT. & M.

Miller haa I lengthened bis "Annette" several feet , | aud will put in more powerful engines. . j John Pharo has ready a new thirty . | footer which is expected to give a good j account of itself. It has .an 8-foot beam. I I Captain W. H. Mills has launched ■ ] the "Charlotte" 36 foot boat, carrying j a 24 h. p. Lamb engine and having 10- | foot beam. " i The interest shown by all ownere.is ' great and a big yachting season is a safe prediction.
