Assemblyman Stevens presided over the House of Assembly on Wednesday ; evening, and daring the evening three bills of Senator Wheaton, No. 131, val- i idating the bond issue and contract for i the Ocean City county road; No. 47, re- ■ | pealing an act giving fees to sheriffs, and ^ No. 48, an hmendment to the disorderly i person law, were passed. Assemblyman Stevens had passed in the House on Monday evening the bill to I increase the term of the treasurer of Gape May City, heretofore elected for 1 one year to three years. Last week bills ' applying to the assessor and collector in ( the same way paaecd. 8he Assembly ' on Tuesday passed Assemblyman Stevens' bill authorising the governor to appoint United States Senators to vaean- 1 eies, made necessary by the seventeenth amendment to the United States Con- ' stitution. ( Senator Whea ton's bill' allowing the residents of Stone Harbor to vote on the question of organizing a borough government was passed through second reading, will come up for final passage next week, i The introduction of two bills by As- 1 ' semblyman Stevens, amending the Geran | 1 law by doing away with the barrier j c which the law now interposes between | members of two parties who desire to unite in the nomination and election of a candidate, is significant of the grow- 1 ing sentiment for eolaition, or at least 1 eo-operation of Progressives and regular ' Republicans. Mr. Stevens was a Roose- j velt supporter in 1012 and ran for the 1 ' Assembly last fall as a Progressive Republican. His idea is that where Pro- , gressive and regular Republicans can get I together in support of a candidate there 1 should be no legal harrier in the way.*1 The Democrats, however, want to retain j 1 this harrier, so that they may continue in power as long as there is a third party | ; in existence. These bills were all reported favorably | 1 last week, and will be on the calendar of ' the Asseembly for final passage next Monday. Quite a number of people were noticed on the beach Sunday digging in the sand for soft-shell clams. This species of bivalves are washed up on the beach when the tide is full, suit then immediately bury themselves about three or four inches in the sand, leaving a tiny hole in the sand, and it is by this small hole that there whereabouts is known. They j are not as palatable as the clams caught ; in the sounds, but a very pleasing sub- j utitnte. When an entertainment is being held, the lessee of the building should see that it is made comfortable for its patrons. On Thursday evening the Washington Street Han was certainly disagreeable to alL Hope this wiU not occur again. It would be well for the Mayor to take up the matter of an automobile race on the strand during the summer months, to entertain the patrons of this resort. Konowiteh Brothers have purchased s very desirable business property on Washington Street. In flDemortam NEWELL— In loving remembrance of William Newell, who departed this life March 16th, 1913.

FISHERS • IN THE SEA ASTONISHING EXPERIENCES OF A COUPLE OF LAND-LUBBERS ON THE BOUNDING SEA IN A SEABRIGHT FISHING SKIFF. (Over the telephone.) ''Hello! 's that you Smith!" "Yep. How are you, Brown!" "0. K. thanks. Want to go a -fish ing. Smith !" a "Surest thing^you know. How and | "Seabright skiff. Swedish fisherman and myself. Swede's taking a holiday, and he wants to see something of the sea for a change. Ready in an hour. GoI ing from Sewcll's Point." , I I "A1 right, 111 be there. Strange that , sea-faring men and those whose busi1 ness is with the sea and its doings never . ( appear to tire of it, but seek their recrea- , tion when off duty, on its broad bosom, { ' eh!" "Aw, cut the comment and the philosophy. Question is, will you be on hand , in an hour!" "Sure. Told you so once. Glad of an opportunity to go out in such company." | True to his word Smith was on the Point wharf at which the boat was moored, in an hour, and the party . was soon on' board and under way. , The boat was a staunch one, equal to breasting even the stormy billows of the old Atlantic, under good management, 1 1 ' and capable of holding, perhaps, two tons ■ j of fish. She was used by Swedish market fishermen who fish occasionally with hook and line and oftener with gill nets 1 and who had made a great harvest dur- ' ing the spring with their neta in the Delaware Bay, catching many tons of fish, . on their way to spawning grounds, sluggish with ree and affected somewhat by , the low temperature of the water, so as to be eaay prey to the alert fishermen. The sea was running a bit high when . the boat cleared the stone piles, but she , plowed along with remarkable grace and j efficiency, the bouyant motion of the i boat, the brisk westerly breezes and the , ! many sea scenee, being particularly ex- , j hilarating to the two friends. "Hie purj pose was to sail eight or more miles tc . , j sea and to try for sea bass and whatr ever species of fish might be found at the > fishing banks, or shoals found this far far out and for many years the goal for fishermen who prefer sea fishing with the 1 certainty of a catch to the less stimuI lating and more uncertain sport in the ■ harbor or thoroughfares of the sounds, i The present trip, however, was destined ' to be as rich in experiences as in fish. : The ffosv gulls, here and there, over > the waters, indicated the presence of fish • ' &t several points and the numerous other I ' I sea fowl were evidences that there chosen t food was not scarce. Fish and fowl, like - ] men and women, eat to live and live to eat, and much of the activity of the animal world is Aue to the necessity for , ' securing sustenance. Tender-hearted vegt etarians do not seem to realize that na- . ture has provided that all animals rci quire as food other animals and to reaJ son that it is wrong for mankind to make use for food of such other animals as have been prescribed in the Mosaic Law. 5 and in other dietary laws preceding and 1 following this, ignores the teachings of '• nature and nature's God. Big fish eat little fish on sea and land and the Lord would have it so or it would have ceased to be true, long ago. But before and ' since the whale or the great fish swallowed Jonah, big fish have not confined their diet to little fish but have taken even man when opportunity afforded, j showing that even the lords of creation e are not free from the operation of the universal law of nature. It would be , difficult to name anything, vegetable or animal, that the big or little fishes of the sea have not made useful for food. There are fish scavengers of many kinds e and there are fish as dainty and exclu1 sive in their choioe of food as the most " fastidious gourmand. s These soliloquies were suddenly I brought to a halt by a dash of spray which a big sea handed us as the boat plunged forward and attention was riveted, upon these magnifioent rolling tt surges of plicate green which the boat was joyously mounting as she proceeded y on her way. -The guests had forgotten " about fishing in the pleasure of the voyie age, when the skipper's deep baas boomed ir forth: "Make ready, in the bow there, w well anchor in a minute." Almost im- ^ mediately the power was shut off yid, "Overboard with that mud-hook," was promptly obeyed. The boat slowly swung into position as the hook clutched =- the bottom, and tackle and bait were t brought forth, and now the two friends e. (Continued oa page ire) a ,t Is

Oliver, of 1120 Chestnut i Street, Philadelphia, has just returned I from a trip to Florida, where he is int terested with others at Ormond in buildl ing up a town site. He thinks Florida : is destined to become the winter resort 1 of the United States. Close to Ormond lies I-aton ia, one of the prettiest little towns on the east coast. He also visited Tampa, a live town of sixty thousk and permanent inhabitants all in about ten years. There are more Havana 3 segars made in Tampa than in the whole of the United States. From there across s Tampa Bay to St. Petersburg is certainly a beautiful scene, and it is a live town of about ten thousand. Bay lota that could have been bought five years ago for six hundred dollars are now being held at ten thousend. This certainly is e the land of perpetual sunshine, that one t can reach in about thirty-six hours, t where he may don his straw hat and d summer clothing and go in bathing and if pick the oranges from the trees and eat s. your fill provided you pay for them. 1, There is a fascination about the place which seems to be catching as every one iv wants to visit the place again as I hope ,c to do in the near future. The Doctor is a former Capo Mayan and enjoys a large dental practice. Many of his patients come from this section. Consult Jesse Brown on Tin Roofs and Spouting.

PERSONAL MENTION INTERESTING PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS OF THE COMING AND GOING ~F CAPE MAY VISITORS AND RESIDENTS DURING, THE PA8T WEEK.
