"To make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick to it like a barnacle on a boats bottom. Advertising doesn't jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It is likened to a team pulling a heavy load. A thousand spas- J , modic, jerky pulls will not budge that load, While one half the power in steady effort will start it and keep it mor iug."

Some alleged wise man has said with reference to office holders: "Few die and none resign." He must have been an "insurgent" or a "New Idea" man or a member of some one of the grouchy 1 clans, who are always handing out things like that. Like many another proverb this will not hold watei or instance J. Woodruff Eldridge, Collector and Treasurer of West Cape May for ten years or so, and who might .have , continued so for ten years more prt- ^ sented his resignation to the West Cape May Council, Monday evening, in spite ' of the fact that he had six months yet left to complete his term. Cashier ' Henry H. Eldridge, of the Merchants' National Bank was appointed to fill the vacancy. Eldridge says he couldn't af ford to hold the office any longer for the price and had accumulated enough ' of the glory to last him for a few years. I -

ROBERT R. CORSON, late sheriff j Iheriff Robert R. Corson died suddenly Sunday morning at 3:40 o'clock. H was taken ill during the d»y, but did not suffer much and his physician g pronounced it a return of an old trouble, the passing of gal! stones.. It was e expected that he would recover without difficulty, but about twenty minutes 1 before his death he began suffering severely ana the end came in a shockingly <: short time.. Sheriff Corson was 58 years of age and one the largest men t in the county.. He was very ill about iour years ago anjl his friends feared B he would not recover, but within a year he had so far regained his normal con- £ dition that ne yielded to the earnest solicitations of ihany friends and con- ^ sented to be a candidate for Sheriff on the Republican ticket. He was elected f and was again taken seriously ill probably because of exertions during the v campaign and it was about three months before he entered upon the performance of his official duties. Since that time he seemed to recover completely fc and was to all appearances in the most robust health. ^ Sheriff Corson was a man of the most exemplary character, and no man , ^has ever attained a higher place in the regard of tis fellow citizens. He was 1 a man of sterling integrity, true and faithful in every relation of life. As t an official he reflected honor on his native county and performed his duties f vjith absolute fidelity and impartiality. ^ His loss is irreparable and will be mourned by the entire county. t The funeral services will be held at the Sheriff's residence at - the Court 1 House on Wednesday at za o'clock, Interment at the Seaside Cemetery, at Palermo. t The deceased resided at Palermo for many years ^and left his home there 1 to occupy the Sheriff's residence at Court House during his term of office. , 1 _ I

THE VIRGINIA. , - • ">

ir Prominent among the hotels that hare ii if made Cape May the pioneer resort of the r >- country stands The Virginia. This beau s tiful and modern house, a cut of which n heads this article, is situated on Jackson street, within a stone's throw of the h - beach, a location admirably adapted to p the all year patronage to which the it L management caters. While not a new h * house, The Virginia (popular for some r< years as The Ebbitt House) has been n J thoroughly modernized and brought up t to the minute. The private baths can y not be surpassed in the country, writ- h

rooms, smoking rooms and card c sre provided in addition to the t spacious parlors and lobby, and the ve- 1 randahs are broad, cool and inviting. 1 The great feature of this charming 1 is its table. To this the pro- 1 prietor brings a long and varied exper- c ience, and devotes to it practically all of < His attention.' It is a raotter of per- 1 sonal. pride- with him that a complaint 1 comes from the dining room. 1 The proprietor is A. M. Ludlam, a > man well known in Cape May, < birth place, for industry and appli

cation, and a thorough knowledge of his j chosen calling. He lias been connected with the most prominent hotels in Cape ^ May, Atlantic Cityv Philadelphia, and Washington, D. C., for over twelve years, and brings to The Virginia a knowledge of the hotel business that can but be of benefit to nis patrons. His father, the Samuel R. Ludlam, was a widely hotel man a generation ago, and both grandfathers, James Meeray, Sr., and George Ludlam, were pioneer bonifaces at Cape May. WA .. ' 1

Both teams shone in tue field and fast plavs were pulled off, but Smiley was the fielding sti.- of the day. accepting seven chances in clean style, and his running catch of Ziegler's foul in the fourth tnade the crowd howl, with delight, and his speedy work in ' handling Black's slow bunt in the third ' was as clever a piece of fielding as has 1 executed here this season. Lew Hall was operating on the knoll Cape May ana has about everything 1 yesterday, and time and again dis- ' missed the visitors without scoring when ' men were on and was always good in 1 the pinches. Seven hits were secured his offerings, three of these being ' Texas Leaguers, while two others should ' been fielded but for unfortunate ' bounds before reaching the players. of the Gloucester crowd expired 1 by the strike out route. Neither side .scored in the first. In ' the second Zeigler opened with a hit. 1 He was safe at secolid on a steal and ' went to third on an overthrow, scoring ' on a grounder to Smiley which the 1 latter fumbled. In the third Cape May had a good op portunily to score but a mixup in signals spoiled the opportunity. Cozens opened with a single to left. Smiley went out on a foul fly. Loveland landed for two bases, putting Cozens on third. . Signals were then given for a squeeze . play but Dobson pitched to wide. Cozens and Loveland started, but as Aldendifer didn't connect beat it back to their respective corners. Hoelzel threw high to third to catch Cozens, who thinking the ball had rolled to left field start cd for home again hut in trying to get back was caught. A quick throw by Zeigler to second headed Loveland off who was getting a good lead for third but he was doubled up between the Gloucester went out in order in the third, fourth and fifth, but got two on in the sixth, but cculd not make the circuit. The sixth was the big show. Loveland opened with a single to right. Aldendifer sacrificed. Wood then banged one to center scoring Loveland. Mechado out fly to second. Diebert then landed mighitly onr one banging the ball to the left field fence which rolled under, . making the circuit while Woods trot- . ted in leisurely ahead of him. Gloucester came right back in the sev- | enth. McElhone hit a slow one to Hall who fumbled for an instant, leaving him ' safe at first.
