i GR4D UATE 1 0NJM» MAY" ; i WEST CAPE MAY ESSAY j Miss Msrj Eldrege Selects "Cape < la;" as Her Snbject and < Sees Visions of Greatness i ■ !' ' The following interesting essay on ^ "Cape May" was delivered by one of t the West Cspe May High School grad- v Dates, Miss Mary Eldredge, at the an- ( nual oommencement. It will be noticed £ that the writer ia tally inbued with the sentiment of affectionate fondness for I g the Cape May of tradition, romance I f and charm which is known beat and ! ^ appreciated by ail who are or have I f been closely connected with the resort. g "I look far back into other years h And lo in bright array, a 1 see as in a dream ! t The form of ages pass away." | (, Less than two centuries ago Cape May was a wilderness, her fields and g her lawns were dense and forbidding forests. Over her domain, in native b dignity and grandeur, the stately Indian roved. Her first inhabitants were ^ the Lenni-Lenapes and the particular branch of the tribe living in the south- b em part of the county was the Kechmeches (Turtle). After the advent of fhe white man the Indians"^ gradually dwindled until in the early g part of the eighteenth century feeling ^ oppressed by the encroachments of the ^ white people, they held a council and h decided to emigrate. Tradition hath it that they left that night. When mom- p ing dawned, no smoke from their encampments curled up into the bright g spring air ; the council fire had burned out ; their wigwams were deserted ; f , their canoes rocked idly on the still g waters of the sounds, or were drawn far up on the wnite sands of the bay. But the Indians had vanished as com- w pletely and as silently as if caught up by a passing breeze of the night and k wafted to some other sphere. Cooper in the "Last of the Mohicans" makes use of this fact in the history of tribes g whose totem was the "turtle," in the meeting of Uncas and Chinachgook, the old Delaware chieftain, and the rem nant of his tribe, among the mountain ^ fastnesses of the upper Saranac.

The discovery of the Cape belongs to ■ Captain Oorenliua Mey, who in 1620 ] at the North Cape of the Delaware for water. Finding the land beautiful with flowers and trees, he ^ve it his name. The following year the Dutch West India Company took formal possession and preparations were made for colonizing Jand govern- 1 the settlement. ' The first settlement infCape May County was made at Town Bank on the Bay shore, by a colony of whalers. A Dr. Cox bought an immense tract of ' | land upon which he boilt a large assembly hall. His idea was to found a patroon estate, similar to those along ' the Hudson. (The attempt, however, 1 a failure. In a few year plantation 1 j began to appear and the future ' [ of Cape May was assured. | As the years went by clusters houses 1 appeared Goshen. Cape May Court House, Cape Island and other places. | 1 | forests fell under the axe of [the 1 1 pioneer and the humble 'cottage of the I sturdy farmer found its place among ' | broad acres. The numerous creeks ' and great forests of Jcedar early at- ' j tracted to them the lumberman, the ' I builder and the fisherman. Cape May City from her beautiful ' strand early gained the notice of the pleasure seeker. Large hotels were only to be torn down to give J place to more commodious structures. With the growth ot the county came 1 many changes in the means of access the city. The stage coach was given up for the steam cars. The hosts galled "packets. " were given up for the steam boat. Every season only served to increase the popularity of city. Thousands of visitors her streets and filled her ' making old Cape May the most j prosperous and fashionable sea shore ' resort of the times. But Cape May is bound to forge i ahead until she again reaches that! place for which nature has so bounti- 1 fully fitted her, "The Queen of sea- 1 shore resorts." Not only this but! more, for those of us who are not too I C pessimistic, fully realize that our city j will become one of the greatest sports j of entry that the world has ever known. And th en and not until then will j ' she throw off her mantle'of 6leep and ' awaken to the possibilities which Bur- 1 round her. Already we see powerful \ ' warships and magnificent private yachts floating on the placid waters of our landlocked harbor. The lands

which now lie so quiet and serene with nothing to disturb them but the lowing of the cattle will be changed as by magic into the broad estates of the millionaires. New schools, with buildings of beautiful architecture and' ivy covered walls, new public buildings, libraries and theaters -are everywhere in' evidence. Our boardwalks and pavilions, which have been amusement* for the children, a necessity to their dlder*. and dishonor to the city, wilt be replaced by structures whose Architecture will be more ornate and better suited to grace the finest beach in the world. From the fort with its cannon mounted walls which guards the entrance to the harbor, will be seen the long stretches of elevated tracks which traverse the city beautiful, and with one ribtxn pt eteel binds to herself the great city of fie n York and the lesser resorts along the Atlantic, with another she brings to herself the city sitting silent between her rivers. And still another ribbon of steel dipping down under the waters of the Bay traversing Delaware and Maryland binds the heart of the nation to the city whose Bourse and Wall street has become {he pulse of the united commonwealths. Oh ! Uape May, (Jape May. My thought to thee will stray. With fond delight and visions bright, When I am far away. Thy sunny skies look down serene, Where warbling woodlands lay ; And fertile fields stretch out between The Ocean and the Bay. And health on every breeze is borne. That o'er it takes its way. And plenty pours her teeming horn, Into thy lap. Gape May. I love to breath thy healthful air, I love-thy sky and sea. I love thee for my friends are here, And all that's dear to me. I love thee for thou art my home. And wheresoever I stray. The golden charm of memory stilll me to Cape May. MARY E. ELDREDGE.

MERCANTILE TAX ORDINANCE CERTIORARI ED Lewis Bennett, dealer in toys and varieties, and Belford Garrison, jewe- 1 were summoned to appear before * Mevin, on Thursday to show cause why tbey had not Jpaid the mercantile tax. This gave the club of merchants organized to protest against h the mercantile tax ordinance, just the opportunity they have been awaiting, = and their solicitor, Judge J. M. E. Hildreth. promptly secured a writ of certiorari yesterday to have the spat- ( of the mercantile tax ordinance . reviewed by the Supreme Court. Lawyers. almost without exception, believe that it is illegal and that it will be i declared so by the Supreme Court. .At ' all events its ' was passed at a time when the merchan's and other business ' people were 1 least able to have their charges increased and those who fighttng^it will go to the last ditch put it out 'of business. A number of people have paid, but a still greater | number have not.
