ON TIE BASKET BALL fiOM Tk lariii taarfc, at AUastic City, Virtue to Cap lay A. A. Cape May A. A. had tbe Indian sign on the Morris Guards last Saturday evening at Excelsior Rink, and at the . end of a battle royal the scalps o < the Atlantic City squad were dangling from the already hardened belts of the Cape May warriors, the final score being 28 to 18. Tbe game was one of tbe cleanest exhibitions played here for quite a while and the crowd thoroughly appreciated the clever work by both teams Tbe "Guards" ware strong at passing and put up an excellent all round game, but splendid guard work by Cape May gave them few opportunities for a good shot at the basket The general floor work of Cap" May was superior to Atlantic, but their passing was of the mediocre order. As usual Cape May settled to their work early and had the visitors trailing in their wake through tbe iirst half. . The Cape May sharp shooters soon got the range of the target and were hitting the bulls-eye with regularity, while , the "Guards" ware wasting their am- j munition with poor marksmanship, and ] t at the end of tbe half Cape May had a ( well fortified position on the field of | battle, the score being 16 to 7. ( In tbe seoond tbe "Guards" started ( 5 with a rush and got their" field pieces trained on the local defenders. | ' They made several successful shots ] r before Cape May, who seemed to be unable to bring their forces together, i gotletarted, and it began to look like a 1 repetition of the game previous. I 'ape t ■ May finally got properly lined up for , battle and then did splendid! execution, and for the remainder of the contest had the "Guards" on the retreat, who 1 , finally surrendered gracefully to the t . conquerors- • ( Benckert played a splendid game at center, outjumping his opponent regu- ; larly and managed to get into most 1 ; every play, ana got one beauty field c goal. Tenenbaum and McDonald also ] I contributed handsomely, breaking up 1 many plays that looked like sure score ' ■ producers and helped keep the play in c , Cape May's territory. r Vanzant at forward put up a rattling , good game, shooting in better form than he has for several games, caging 8 seven from field. Minnie, Cape May's r ether speedy forward, was unable to t be in tbe game and was missed by g ' the fans, but be bad an able substitute on the job in Hines, captain and guard of tbe High School team. Hines I nprfnrmpn in'pvppllonf aAvIp o„ri sornrpH - performed in'excellent style

three very neat goals. Casey and Lewis starred for the "Guards" but the whole team put up a first class article of basket ball.

Between the ages of fifteen and fortyfive, the time when womanhood begins and motherhood ends, it is estimated that the aggregate te:m of woman's suffering is ten years Ten years out of thirty ! One part of the best part of a woman's life sacrificed. Think of the enormous loss of time! But time not all that is lost. Those years of suffering steal the bloom from tbe cheeks, the brightness from the eyes, tne fairness from the form. They write their record ia many a crease and wrinkle. What a boon then to woman, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It promotes perfect regularity, driea up debilitating draips, ulceration, cures female weakand establishes the delicate womanly organs in vigorous and permanent health. No other medicine do for woman what is d one by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

It is a great mistake ; think that a Steam Laun dry can be run by not using chemicals for we have use chemicals to do in our drying what nature and the sun does oui ' doors.

1 Council Meeting. 1 * Continued from Page 1. Council adjourned it should adjourn to ^ meet Wednesday evening. Mr. Suelke suggested that a water ; assessor should be appointed to • ear ' the asms relation to! water taxes aa , the regular assessor did to toe regular ^ taxes. To go from house to bouse era ; assess every spigot, then turn over assessments .to tbe Superintendent of Water Woilca for collection. Mr. Doak favored Lhe idea Lut thought it would ' reqai/e a supplement to the ordinanoe. which waa authorized to be prepared. Mr. Gilbert said an arc light bad I been removed lrom In front of the | poatoffice and thought it ahould be replaced Mr. Wolff stated that a couple of gas lights had been substituted for 'L The Street Committee was authorized to put the light back and to ifemove gas lights. Yeas, Jacoby, , Moore, Gilbert, Doak, Suelke; nays, Wolff, Elwell. Bill of L. T. Stevens, $91.76. for work in connection with Sewer Commission qhicta had had been approved by oommittee was recalled by Mr. Suelke, chairman, who erased his name, saying he had signed under a misapprehension and knew tfiat Mr. . Church also desired to withdraw his name. He said that the commissions : claims would receive attention when : their work was finiseed. Mr. Charles S. Church requested to informed of price for which coal was being supplied to City Water- i works by the American Ice Company i under contract awarded last June, and ' informed that it was $8.30. He i called attention to the fact that the I award was made at $3. He was in- ' formed that the committee had de- i that the better quality of I coal at $3.30 was worth more than the < differenoe to the city. Mr. Church 1 then said that coal of equally good ( quality had been offered the city at a i price than $3.30. but tbe award made on the cheaper coal. He 1 did not think Council was within its i rights to make such a substitution, ' without securing new bids on new c specifications. One or two Council- < questioned Mr. Church's ability supply coal of equal quality,, but he I saiff be could do it from the same vein. I J. Frank Merrick, band leader, of was then lntroduoed to 1 make plea for contract to supply music * this summer.

® Numerous bills chiefly those contracted last year were then presented g and ordered paid. £ At an adjourned meeting of Council k held Wednesday evening Messrs. Doak, y Elwell, Gilbert, Moore and Wolff were a present Mr. Doak offered the folj lowing resolution which was adopted, t Resolution by Mr. Doak : e Whereas, There is resolution in force that requires all labor and material furnished the city of Cape May in ex- - cess of twenty-five dollars to be done a by contract, and j Whereas, Said resolution has been i abused in the part by the expe diture t of moneys in excess of the amount t named in said resolution, without f authority of this Council : therefore. 5 be it f Resolved. That this Council will s repudiate all bills contracted in viola- , tion of said resolution ; and be it further ' Resolved, That all amounts in exi ceis of twenty-five dollars for labor ) and material of any kind whatever - needed by the city, shall be by con- • tract ordered and by tbe authority of Council in session whenever it is possible and practical to so contract. And I ! be it rurther [ Resolved, That all contracts ordered ; shall receive at least two weeks publi- I cation by posters and bv such newspapers as make a specialty of the class of work to be done, all bids to be sealed and received up to time of ! special meeting of this Council called , to open said bids. And be it further Resolved. That no bills of any amount will be paid unless authority has beeo given by Council for the same to be contracted. Signed, JAMES J DOAK. Carried as amended.

""I" The first Carnival c f reason on last Friday evening at ! Excelsior Skating Rink waa a decidedly successful affair and everything passed : off in a pleasant manner. A peat number of skaters in masquerade cos- ' tome were present and the large crowd \ ' of spectators in attendance manifested the enjoyment obtained on these deI ligfatfol occasions. Interest seems to have revived to a great extent and many expressed the desire to indulge I «n another in the near future. These in masquerade were attired in various manners from tbe lowly apparel of the tramp to tbe garish costumes of others, and tbe lodicrooa female attire "f some boys and young men to the trim and neat costume worn by many young ladies. All the makeups were very good, and some particularly were deserving of much praise. Will Thompson and Oscar Barnett, personated as Hammerstein artists, made the hit of the evening, and were awarded first prize by the judges. The floor was cleared when tbey were announced and they weie generously applauded aa they glided on the floor Many expressions of praise and admiration were made on their aplend d makeup, which waa indeed unique and natty. After skating for several minutes tbey led the grand march which was nicely executed. Soon after this everybody unmasked and were surprised to learn that they had guessed wrong as to tne identity of certain ones whose disguise tbey believed tbey had penetrated. floor was then free to all and soon large throng was whirling around to the splendid music furnished by the combination organ. The judges were Oaseedy. Harry Doak and Curtis. Tbe personnel of those masquerade apparel follows : George Hand was winner of first prize for those in comic costume and ' makeup was a dandy. He looked though he had stepped out of a Sun- | day comic section and kept the crowd j amused by his ludicrous antics. Ben PoinBett took second oomic prize, and contributed to the mirth by ' funny acta as a "hobo." Harry Mecray wai attired as "Fluffy ' and did many amusing stunts which were enjoyed by tbe audience. j d '

Fred Oresae and Walter Bennett n- as Chauffeur and Auto ' Mechanician, ' looked like up-to-date "Joy riders." Cliff Benckert, Harry Homan and ! Bert Crawford, in the habiliments of ^ tramps, were madeup very neat, that ^ is if you could call the "glad rags" of ! those with nomadic inclinations neat. ^ Jere' Barker, aa "Uy" Perkins, of Green Creek, as a "Rube," was seme ^ pumpkins. ,1 . Robert Blattner, in finical attire of ' [- an up-country sport carried the part 1 ie out in great style. n Earl Taylor, as Seven of Hearts, C ,e was an exceedingly good card to draw. 8 it Leon Ewing eluded the vigilance of 1 it the emigrant officials and slipped in ' '• unnoticed, and as a waahe-washe man II was "belly good." i- Frank Hewitt, as a clown, amuaed * ;r the crowd by his buffoonery. ;; Mabel Richardson.

T. 1 ; THE INLAND JVATERWAY ! TBE ffflOLE COAST IS AMUSED ; Realized that tbe oae Solution is Coatinnaace of Work from Point at Which Stopped The Inland Waterway question ia still one of the warm ones along the coast, but there is really no occasion for anv heat if the matter be dealt with in a common sense way and Atlantic City's claim to universal dominion without right, justice or reason, be quietly put on ioe. 1. The Inland Waterway is complf ted to a point near Holly Beach and it is effective that far. If it is to be completed to Atlantic City it will be useful to all tbe resorts sooth as well aa to Atlantic City and in the course of its building, as it reaohea one resort after the other it will become immediately beneficial to each resort reached and to all other resorts south of it If the work is begun at the barren Bngantine Beach there will be no benefit to anybody south of Atlantic City for a long time to come and 'ittle to anybody north. That portion of the waterway now completed will be useful to tbe resorts connected and to no other. 2. Channels above Atlantic City are deeper and less obstructed than those south of Atlantic City and do not need attention. The opening of the waterto Atlantic from the South will bring far more benefit to her than any work done to the northward because it will connect the great string of resorts to the South with her and land many visitors by the motor boat route. It will also give all of the resorts the benefit of the Cape May Harbor entrance, permitting boats from Delaand elsewhere to carry their produce, lumber and so on to any resort from Cape May to Atlantic City, a privilege of whicli they will realize the value to the full when once it ia The continuance of tbe waterfrom Holly Beach northward ia tbe only logical thing for the State to do as a aeries of detached sections will be absolutely useless to everybody. AtlanticOity is pot serving its own interest when it advocates any other The whole lower coast la aroused about this matter as it has to be.
