NEW JERSEY SUFFRAGISTS WIN House Unanirtxyply Passes Bill to Submit Question to Vote of People. The House of Assembly Monday night unanimously passed the concurrent resolution providing for a referendum voteon the granting ol equal suffrage-. Party lines were forgotten and both sides supported Assemblyman Peacock's measure. The- resolution went to the Senate, where, it is expected, it will be favorably reported from committee. probably next week, and passed. Then it will be ready for submission to the |>eoplr at a special elflrtinn to be called possibly in September. Assemblyman Peacock, of Burlington county, made the principal speech for his resolution. He held that the right

of suffrage belongs to women, and they have a stronger right to tote than men have to deny them that right. i Assemblyman Barradale showed that , in 1776 all women were entitled to vote < if they' were fortunate enough to own much as tfiO. In an election to , change the county seat of Essex county - years ago, some women openly - boasted of having "repeated." . j Assemblyman Martin, leader of the , Democrats, said he favored submission of woman suffrage the referendum. He said lie did not believe women should vote, but he thought it 'was the right of the women to have the question submitted to the voters for adoption or rejection. ' .

WHEAT I1A0 Of 1874 { In 1874 wheat brough F. O. B. at rail- t road stations in this county $1.80. Flour sold at $11 and $12 per barrel. A great deal of wheat was raised and there were five or six flour mills iu the county, driven by water power. Republican enterprise and grasp of economic condi thins, at the time, made' the use .of the great western areas of farm land available. by liberal homestead laws aad the promotion of railways, anjF wheat raising became a stable industry in the West, causing a rapid fall in the price i to less than $1 per bushel, when normal i conditions prevail. Tire result was that ' eastern farthers could net afford to r^ise wheat and abandoned this line of activity. The grist mills, necessarily were abandoned, and farm lands be-carpc-ics ^valuable. Many farms were sbandone^ifi all of tbe States on the Atlantic coast, north of the Chesapeake ( ' It is probable that there is less acreage cultivated in Cape MSy County today than there waa-flfty "years ago. It is . only recently that this county has be I , come fully awakened to the fact that , its farming activities should eater to j ( the resort market by raiding the vege- ( tables and fruits for -which our soil is ( particularly well adapted. The Ea-t f ( could not compete with the West in' j ( grain production; -because the West hhd t an inexhaustible rich virgin soil which - I needed no stimuli while the East could ( gi-t grain crops only by using the most ( . expensive fertilizing material, * p.- L rnvian Guano and high grade manu facttifed chemical compounds. t PILOTS MUST NOT DRINK Suspension May Result if They Are r Detected at Mixing with the Booie. J i , t Delaware river pilots licensed by Penn- , sylvauia are forbidden hereafter to use liquor under penalty of suspension or loss of license. A rule banning booze was adopted ^ Tuesday by the commissioners of navi- ( gation at * meeting in the Bourse. It , provides that the license of a pilot who ( r lias become- physically unfit or has con • ( ' tract od habits likely to impair his effic- , r iency may at any time be suspended or ( ' revoked by "the board. , Another rule adopted the same day < gives to the master of the pildt boat , authority to assign pilots to incoming , vessels. Formerly the pilots took their | turns "regardless of whether they were | physically in condition to take charge , , of« ship. The rules are the result of .# ( hearing held last December, on a com- ( plaint lodged by Captain John P. Knapp, , commander of. the battleship CVmnecti- , t cut against the pilotage system for the « port of Philadelphia. i - '

I It XTEW YORK to San Francisco ft ' i.\| in a fifteenth of a second! A lb few hours since, the voice of man, Ifor the first time in history, leaped in a single bound from the Atlantic to the Pacific! Thus have the dreams of the early telephone pioneers come true! What a short time it seems since Alexander Graham Bell heard the voice of his assistant, Watson, come It feebly over two miles of wire from Cambridge to Boston. Within the ft week, Dr. Bell's voice has answered that same Watson's voice over 3400 miles of line from one coast to the other. Down swept that voice over the copper wires from New York through the outskirts of Philadelphia, up and down over the Alleghenies into Pittsburgh and on past the windy city of Chicago,, across the plains through Omaha and up over the snow-capped peaks to Denver. Then on, swifter than light to Salt Lake City and out •across the foothills of the Rockies to / the Golden Gate City of the Pacific! That voice of forty years ago ft was anxious and hesitant. Thi£

I 1 time it had in it the ring of triumph. ft 1 For a triumph it is, a triumph of ft . science; none greater has the past ft generation witnessed. ft 1 Within a short time, when the ft final tests and adjustments have ft J been made, the gateways of this ft ( ■ migKty wire span will be thrown ft open to the public. This achieve- ft ment has involved the work of a ft corps of 550 engineers and scientists; ft improvements, great and small in ft every piece of telephone plant and ft apparatus; a vast expenditure of ft money; all contributing to convey ft vthe tiny voice impulses one seventh ft of the distance 'round the globe. But it is a triumph in a greater ^ sense.

Brown 417 Washington Street MAY BOY ENCOUNTERS DIFFICULTIES Alfred Cresse, son of Mr. sod Mrs. Crease and nephew of ex-Sen-ator Robert E. Hand, has bad a thrillexperience during the past fortnight. Young Cresse shipped aboard the "Camino" Relief Ship to Belgium from the state of California, as wiretelegraph operator, and but for his tlmrdugh knowledge of the aparatus. which he excelled when a student of this subject, it is probable that neither he nor the crew would now be alive to tell the tale. Starting from California, passing through the Panama Canal the ship started on a southern route for her destination : when well out at sea the engine became disabled and they were , obliged to put into New York for repairs, which were soon completed and tbe good ship again started on her way. this time pursuing a northern course. about one hundred aad fifty miles off Cape RaMe the rudder broke, and when a wireles*. message for aid was attempted it was found that the apparatus was not in condition, and proved difficult to repair. When it had ••nee been despaired of. Mr. Cresse made 1 heroic and desperate attempt, and succeeded. Their lives depended upon it. and as the time for the test came the moment was tense as they watched for the signal which wonld mean success. Scarcely did they breathe as they watched for tb* connection which would : show that the repairs had been success- ' fully made, and the message which might mean life .to the crew and the : 1 saving of the ship and its precious carjreach some sister- ship. As the successful signal was given and five ships > received the message that the Camino in distri-ss and in immediate need ' of aid. we can imagine the prayer that must have bi-eu uttered from evary tongue "Ixird. we thank thee." when the answering signal was given. In order to repajw the torn apparatus. ' young Cresse was obliged to work in 1 several inches of water with " clothes 1 frozen on him, but each member of the ' crew stood in readiness to obey his 1 every ordecor to band at once any implement needed. Three ships were sent to their aid. 1 jthe I julv I-aurier. the Kanawha and a : revenue cutter, sent by the government. ' When these ships reached the disabled ; vessel they found not only her rudder ' gone but also the anchors and two deck ' houses, and she was seemingly at the mercy .of wind and wave. One vessel ' towed and tbe other pushed the heavily ' laden vessel into Halifax, the nearest ' part, but mishaps were not yet over. I for when well under way. the hawsers | broke, causing delay and inconvenience in lumling het. Several seamen were -in- ' jurcd, Mr. Cree so, we believe, but slightin I It has not wot been determined whether the/uamino will continue on her course when repairs are completed or whether the shpplies will be transferred to another ship. COMMUNICATION Freeholders Robert S. Miller and Joseph P. MacKissic deserve the thanks of their constituents for their indefatigable and successful efforts in securing the appointment of a farm demonstrator for Cape May County and the entire Board of Freeholders are to be congratulated upon their apropriation of $2,000 for the annual maintenance of the County Bureau 'of Agriculture. The action of Messrs Miller and McKissic and their associates marks the inauguration of a new era in the Agricultural development of Gape May County and will do a great deal toward stimulating interest in farming throughout the county and in increasing the value of farm lands. With a splendid soil, a superb climate and the great markets of tjic adjacent seaside resorts tributary to her fnrms, Cape May county has every reason to look forward to I a period of extraordinary development, if not a revolution in her agricultural I methods. In this advanced age the adj vantages of scientific fanning, the value of the work of the experiment station, the chemical laboratory and the agri-e-u"Tl coll "c are too widely known and to even prevent of adverse discussion. Those states which

are growing the biggest crops and get- , ting the largest yield from the smallest • , acreage are the state in which these es- I , sentials are recognized as the determining « , factors In modern agriculture; While -1 . it is possible for us to give the advan- I tages above mentioned to our young I people, it is desirable also that our adult ' farmers have similar opportunities I brought to their doors and it is this that I I the Board of Freeholders have in mind . and that the County Bureau of Agri- f . culture will accomplish. 1 Prof. Thfasher. tiie new demonstrator, ^ I whn-e central office is to be located at ■ the county scat, should be and will be ' ; welcomed with open arms and he is to , congratulated upon having so pro- ' i gressive and intelligent a rural popula- ' ■ lion to work with, as he will find in ■ Cape May County, and a soil and cli- ■ mate so splendidly adapted to his efforts. Ij-t the Granges of the Cbunty ' | invite l*rof. Thrasher to attend their , meetings and Womr an active visiting I member in ever.v one of them. . Let every farmer and business man in Cape May County call upon Prof. ] Thrasher and bid him welcome and let . the spring mis-ting of the County Board I of Agriculture, to be held at South Sea- 1 ville op February 18th, be attended by the farmers, busines and professional people from one end of the County to tiie other. [ The baais of all wealth is agriculture. The. proximity of the fertile shore P acres of the mainland adds enormously , to the value of our beautiful seaside re- ' P sorts. Everything that stimulates an interest in agriculture, which results in . the planting of more and the raising of P better crops, reacts to the benefit of the summer visitor, whether he be cottage owner or boarder, anil this in turn j swells the revenues of tjp- jiotel keep- . ere, the real estate men and Ihe mcrr chants of the seaside communities. It d should be the proud boast of every hot tel in Cape May County that it lure no g eold storage plant and doesn't heed one. ,. Nothing will do more to attract de- „ sirable patronage than the assurance I that the poultry, fruits and vegetables !] served are "three hours fresh from the |. fields." Let Cape May County estabp lish a reputation of this sort and its , prosperity is assured, i- There seems to be no getting away n from the fact that, we sing in the 1- Grange, "The Farmer FeedB Them All." hi H.
