SOME NEWS 1 i ANDCOMMENT And now as to John Weaver, onoe £ of Philadelphia, now "Commo- a dors" of a so-called yacht club some- (j where and the|doughty warrior who tl brings terror to the heart of.Levery \ telephone girl in Philadelphia. Cape B May is honored by his hostility. He £ visited the resort when mayor, and J especial pains were taken to oo him honor, always the surest way of win- a ning the j. hostility; of a Weaver-type The^meb^.wbo tookRhim^up in j, Philadelphia ;and plaoed him .first in j{ the.districtjattonfey's office, ^and then tl into gtteimayorality, discovered this. c accepted ull they;, had to $ive him j, and^when he became mayor ,he repaid b them by 1 becoming! their avowed 0 enemy,. ;He allied himself with the 0 "Reformers" but did not remain.with them very long. When he broke with e them] he.was rudderless and friend- „ .and at;tbe close of his term, there „ was none so poor as to do him rever ^ eence. The Judas Iacariots and Bene- b dit Arnolds never, escape the disdain El and contempt of the world. His. captious interference with tbe B construction of the filtering system of £ Philadelphia, cost the city.millions of • ■ money, an thousands of lives, a a t The water supplied .to the.city for u several months continued laden witb g, typhoid germs, which filtration would p have eliminated and the months of b delay due to him caused thousands of deaths which would not have occurred j. and which are reasonably chargeable ^ . to him. g Tbe courts did not sustain a single a charge be^hac^ made against the con- v tractors. n We do not believe it is an exaggera- £ tion to say that he is ^practically n shunned today by the great body of tbe 8, people of Philadelphia, and if you „ want to paint a picture of what it means to be alone in a large city, you h will find an excellent model hy observ- r ' ing tbe daily walka and. rides of John £ Weaver. ' The prevailing opinion of g hiln is that be never did any thing for B - Philadelphia excepting^ to draw large ^ ; salaries and prove faithless to the in- . terests of tax payers. His assertions b agaiust the Oape May Harbor were d gratuitous, untimely and gave another ^ indication of his apparently vast ig- t uorance of all public matters. He £ 1 would have condemned anything which f > he might have selected as a subject, a This is merely his style of oratory but * • a large reward will be offered for any r . constructive work of value to any e community which this pompous little a ' man .ever conceived of or accomplished. 8 > Weaver could say very appropriately 8 with Job of old, "My breath Is cor- j rupt, my days are extinct, the graves 1 are ready for me." * » fe (• James McFadden, of Philadelphia, . has leased part of tbe Excelsior Build- t I ing, on West Perry street, where he t . will eoon exhibit a choice line of bar- * r ness and horse goods.

NEW YEAR'S DINNER EVENT IF. W. Wolff, who was sworn in as a member .of Council on tbe First and ' L. Brownmiller, secretary of « Board of Tikde, celebrated New 1 Year's by inviting a number of friends, ' active in. business circles of the resort, » to a dinner ^ at^Mr. Wolff's residence 1 and/" [oTj.the.discussion of matters of 1 interest to the resort. ^Dr. S. F. Ware ' acting as toast master. 1 The affair proved to be very interest- 1 ing and enjoyable and optimistic ooin- ( were expressed as . to tbe futqre of • resort. Dr. Ware proved an ex- i cellent.toastmaster and those who ware 1 invited to speak were all in favor of a 1 brisk advertising campaign and vigorefforts to boom business for tbe ' coming season. _ ■ — — - — • c _.Mr., Mooney.f.the builder, .who is 1 erecting^ twentjMive houses on the 1 new Cape May tract, said he was very 1 much.pleased.with Oape May and with 1 treatment accorded him since he ' had entered upon his operation. He 8 suggested the formation of a ( "Booster's Club" with those present 1 a nucleus and when informed, that ' of Trade was distinctively a ' "Booster's Club," immediately made 1 application for membership. He.urged I tbe.building of an amusement pier, and 1 said that if the 26-house operation ■ proved. a success it would be followed ' tbe erection of a hundred. Mr. J. P. Doyle, manager of the t Gape May, expressed his opinion ' Cape May would become tbe ' greatest seashore resort on the coast 1 and the guests at his hotel were in- 1 variably pleased witb the resort aud in instances returned each season. ' said he had secured the annual 1 meeting of the Pennsylvania Bar As- ' sociation which met here in 1908 and ( which would be held at the Hotel Cape 1 May June 27th, (28th and 29, and thai ' had already received orders for ' reservations for sixty rooms. The ' Jersey Homeopathic Medical J had also agreed to hold their 1 annual, sessions at the Hotel Gape May ' June next. W. H. Ohurch, newly elected mem- ' of Council, aairl that he .would en- 1 deavor to serve the best interests of ' May while in Council and realized ' that he assumed a big responsibility. ' wanted those who desired anything the city to come forward and ; state their wishes in public session and ] 'would support anything which was < reasonable and right. Councilman Suelke spoke briefly and ' eloquently of his lote for Oape May i and his desire to serve the resort. He j said that his connection witb the resort covered a period of 87 years. Tbe newly elected City Solicitor, 1 W. Lloyd, said that our Oape : people were too prone to advertise | broadcast fancied evils, a thing which . residents in other resorts never did whether the evils were real or fancied. "Cape May has more natural advantages," he said "than any resort on coast and is in a better financial ' condition and with the lowest tax rata, besides owning its own water works, plants and other assets which if any other resorts did. " Tbe other speakers were Councilman Gilbert, whose message was a cheering one. Edward Barton, H. F. Otter, L. Brownmiller, F. W. Wolff, O. Earle Miller, W. S.

( The proposal to expend about $32,000 | in dredging in the shallow bays .north , of Atlantic Oity ia causing considerable ] protest from .the residents of.the re- , sorts south ,of tnat point.,* They assert , that the work sbouldjtirat be completed , AtlauricACity to; Oape .May, , which] ia tbe most, thickly populated , and thriving section of the State's coast line To leave.the waterway in ( uncompleted] condition from Stone ( Harbor to Atlantic City, they ^declare, will deprive thousands of residents and , visitors to tbe resorts in that territory , enjoying many excursions and ; pleasure trips by inland water route. ( They also say that, in working north of j Atlantic City the territory traversed is , but sparsely populated, aad that the , available to work on will show , smali results, as the first two of water, Grassy Bay and Little , will exhaust the money without , reaching any resort of importance. In tbe 64 miles of territory|from At- , Oity to.Seaside Park are Brig- , antine. Beach Haven, Harvey Cedars, Oity and several small re- , sorts, whose combined population at the last census showed but 611 persona, , while south of < Atlantic City, toward , May, are Ventnor, Longport, , Ocean Oity, Sea Iale;Oity, Avalon, Peerinont, Stone Harbor, North Wild- , wood, or Anglesea, Wildwood, Holly , and Wildwood Crest, with a per- j manent population, as given by the . census, of 7700, ;aod witn an as- ' sessed property valuation of more than In this territory the summer population runs into the hundreds of thousands. There is nearly a score 6t tnriving yachting organizations at the resorts lying between Atlantic Oity and Oape to the thousands of members and friends of which tbe. completion of the inland .waterway will be of. vast importance and result in the expendi - ture of thousands of dollars in tbe building of motor boats and tbe promotion of tbe sport. Residents of the At1 and Oape May County seaside resorts desire, the speedy completion of tbe waterway through their territory, which work can be done at a small expenditure, and then to have tbe dredging > continued without interruption along the coast to its northern termi inus to Bay Head. i SURPRISE PARTY ' ; Mr. and Airs Samuel Msrcy were given a surprise on the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage.
