I SALT WATER AND POPS WILL NOT MIX | , Great was the excitement and conitnoj tion yesterday forenoon, at the band pier ^ when for about fifteen minutes dogs, j J I salt water, policeman, and pretty girls I mixed things for a while. The cause of I 'd ihe trouble was that ali-lady, had taken her dear, deal little doggy woggy in for a bath, and like a fond mother, she had permitted the sweet little cu« 5 to imbibe too freely, until his little ? "tommy" began to rebel, and then, there | was a scramble for the shore, which r being reached the pesky little canine be- ] • gan to froth at the^ mouth, <yelp, jump , • and snap and carry on so unusually for ( a well-behaved pup of good family connections, that a crowd began to collect. 8 Just then a policeman arrived on the J 1 scene who pronounced it a case of hydro- j phobia, and was about to take charge of 8. his dog-ship, when the mistress of the r little pet stamped her pretty foot, shook hcr curls and dared the naughty police1 man to harm her sweet little tootsums •' ootsums. Of course puppy was only sick and mama must take hitn up in her j - beautiful arms, and press him to her ' bosom, mix her salty tears with his salty . ® froth and carry him to her bed for the .. ' rest of tlie morning. Never before, did j ' woman so clearly and nobly show her ® maternal instinct by coming to the res- 1 ^ • rue of the offspring of some mother. The dog was one of those rare specimens j ' of a short haired black cur. and looked ( ' as if he might be a cross between a ' Missouri hound-dog and a rat terrier. ; f COLD SPRING RALLY. v I The annual rally of the Old Brick 1 I Church, Cold Spring, N.

*■ HOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNINQ West Cape May seems to have some Isjieiial -attraction for lightning < this summer. On Wednesday night, between twelve and one o'clock, during one of the severest electrical disturbances ever wit5 nesscd in this section, the house of 3 Samuel Cljyer, on Pearl Avenue, was I struck by a bolts of lightning, entering [ the gable of the house and tearing off enough shingles to admit a man. The lightning entered the bed room in which j Mr. Cliver Slept, stunning him, and in- . juring bis side, so that he has been lame ; since. The bedding took fire and before s the family, assisted by neighbors, sucI reeded in extinguishing the flames, a k mattress, a feather bed, a trunk and sev- . oral other things were either destroyed 1 or damaged beyond repair. JESSE VAN ZANDT PARDONED. Jesse Van Zandt, of Hamilton County, I Ohio, who was convicted of manslaughter a few yean ago and sentenced to twenty r years' imprisonment, has been granted a , pardon by the governor. Mr. Van Zanflt . had been charged with the killink of his I wife, who was the daughter of George Rutherford. The children of the unfortunate pair are being well cared for by .r/latives in Cape May. [ MOLASSES AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR LUBRICANT. Expenses are high, cost of living is _ going up, Henry Ford has demonstrated how to make automobiles cheap, but someone needs to come to the front and invent a cheap lubricant, for Fords, as r well as other autos. ned oil, once in a _ while. The driver of one of Mecray's delivery autos, a few days ago, either as an experiment or by mistake happened to draw from the wrong barrel, and greased his machine with molasses in- 1 stead of lubricating oiL He then pro- ( ceeded on his way, delivering goods, until he got somewhere out along New ' York Avenue, when the machine refused to move. Upon investigation, he discovI ere, I that the molasses had cooked, and i . that bis machine was clogged tip with molasses raiulv and fudge. Hereafter he 1 J will taste the lubric-aut before he ap- , I'!'** n. . LARGE PEACH TREE I From Tuesday's Daily Star and Wave. 1 What is. perhaps the largest peach t tree in South Jersey, if not in the state, ■ -tauds in the yard of H. Walker Hand, at the corner of Washington street and 1 Madison avenue. The tree is remarkI able, not only for its size, but for it9 symmetrical growth and healthy ap- ! pea ranee. Peach trees, as a rule, do not 1 last m*ny years, but this one is at least twenty years old and from its clean and thrifty appearance, it bids fair to,! live another decade or two. The trunk at the base is about one foot id- dia- 1 . meter, which is large for this kind of 1 tree. The spread of the limbs is. by actual measurement, forty feet, so that the overhanging branches cover an area . of over 1256 square feet. The tree has , not a sign of disease, and the branches are hanging full of green fruit, well on 1 the way to maturity. THE JOKE WAS ON THE JUDGE ' From Tuesday's Daily Star and Wave. , At a recent hearing before Alderman. the culprit was a c'qlored , woman, who had been brought up , his Honor for some misconduct. , In reprimanding the offender, the | judge took occasion to say that he hoped this woman would settr appear his court again. The woman replied: , "Sure, your Honor, I am not used to , such company, and I'll not be wanting . to cotfie back." j If you have some money laid by for future use, the place to put that money in the Security Trust Co..

Miller - were up early this morning ready for J. F. Black and J. C.Hinkson. They soon , appeared ready for trouble and a hard ' 18 hole struggle -resulted. C. H. Harding was with us again today. He has always paid us a summer ■ visit ever since the organization of our club and his son is one of our most ac- ■ tive members and a frequent prize win1 Since son Jack graduated into the 8Q class Airs.

Stovall and Airs. Collina 1 were joined in their afternoon round by ■ Ethel Alaulc, the famous HuntingI don Valley golfer. ' ! G. V. Seckel is getting used to the - 1 difficulties of our course. In bis match with A. P. Strobel. Jr., this morning he • made a very satisfactory score. Opponents should take notice that I Aplin Sparks says he is feeling particuuarlv fit and ready to meet all comers ia j his c lass. He talks of starting a special I I tournament as he feels sure of winning the cup. Dr. C. N. Davis came up for his usual 1 round and brought U. B. Hart along as subject.

Of course he : wasn't satisfied for it ought to have 1 G8 or less. If he hadn't missed his drive on the 2nd which cost him a 5 or -if he had. not topped a drive on the ' 1 3rd, or if his ball had just dropped in 1 the hole on the 9th, when it hit the pin ' of bouncing off and causing him lose some strokes, putting for a 4, it would Have been perfectly lovely. He doesn't take any special credit for his 2 t on the 3rd, because it was only what he expected. Some day soon he iB going to make a few on the fifth and knock some spots off that musty old 69 record of R. Wistar Harvey. We beg leave to remark that, that 33 nine hole record is rather moth eaten, too, and - should be replaced.
