COMMUNICATED. Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 28, 1916 Editor Star and Wave: While 1 enjoy every issue of your valuable paper, the last number af- , forded me particular pleasure because of Mr. Stevens' article on Samuel R. f-tites, and reminiscences of distinguished visitors of long ago. Reading ( these sketches brought to mind many boyhood recollections, but more particularly one that 1 feel sure will interest 2*t c.—— — — »>nc —mi ms own sc- ^ counts of prominent men sojourning there. My father, John W. Lycett In the sixties taught aAool in the winter amd clerked or engaged in business in

the summer. In July, 1863, he was bead clerk of the Ocean House, of which be later with Col. Henry W. Sawyer became. -proprietor. A young man ot ^easing manner and pleasant dispositkro he was generally liked by the ^guests. Returning to the hotel 'rem a two or three-day trip to Philadelphia, be reached the office just in time to meet several newly arrived guests as the doors of the dining room were thrown open for the evening meal. Noticing a military gentleman modestly standing to one aide, he approached him asking if he cared to be shown n •"•t at the table and received an affirmative reply. Accompanying the gentleman to the door of the dining room the guests seated therein immediately arose and began cheering. Father at first thought it was for him, but the cheers became tumultuous and as the Irishman would say, be smelt a rat when he *aw his companion acknowledging them, so taking a second look be was astonished to see he was escorting General George G. Meade, the hero a few days previously of never-to-be-forgotten Gettysburg. Father told me this and many other anecdotes of those who formerly yiaited the Cape. 1 myself remember many like General Canby, one of Sheridan's generals; John Wanamaker, William J. Sewell, John C. Bullitt, Paul Boynton, the diver, who was accused of setting one of the disastrous fires, and the exhibitions of Signor Blitz, hugely enjoyed by the children. Also the Fifth Maryland in camp about where the golf Course now is, or nearby. I have a number of father's old school records of various schools In the Lower Township, wherein are recorded the merits and demerits of many who have become leading citizens of* Cspe May County, of whom I take the, liberty of mentioning Senator Hand, James Henry Edmunds.

^ cushion of the fee-splitting evil, the Wisconsin legislature passed a law makt ing it a fraud for a surgeon to offer or to pay a commission for surgical pa- ^ tient8 referred to him. No penalty was g imposed by this law on the receiver of the commission, -V1 amendment recentJ lv passed by the present legislature provides that "any physician or surgeon, e *bo shall demand, receive or retain any , money or other consideration directly or indirectly from the physician or surj geon treating or operating on the patient so induced or advised shall be guilty of a criminal fraud." The penalty for either giving or receiving a commission , fo rsurgical cases is fine or imprisonment, while conviction is made an auto- ^ matic annulment of the license to prac- ^ tice. The Journal of the American Medical Association. thinks that the law as amended should be broad enough and strong enough to put a stop to whatever ' fee-splitting evil there may be In WisI consin. 1 POWDER PLANT RUMOR. From Tuesday's Daily Star and Wave. A New York paper recently published an article saying that the Beth- i lehem Steel Company contemplated i electing a large powder plant near Cape i May. The company's local represents- i ; tive refused to confirm the report, but i it seems that the rumor has become per- i sistent and many people profess to be- < lieve that it is true. A few good live industries in, or near this city would be i a good thing, not only to furnish labor, ] but also to bring new blood into the 1 community and check in-hraeding and < decay.

s FARM DEMONSTRATION NOTES. i "BEES AND FRUIT GROWING." s Many small fruit growers have a i very wrong idea when they accuse r "Honey Bees" of injuring their fruit i (peaches especially) by puncturing ft: . causing immediate decay. As a matter of fact "Honey Best" -an 1 not puncture fruit no matter how -oft, e and are never seen working on fruit un1 less there is some opening caused b.rot or possibly from injury due to sea J which hat caused the fruit to crack, '- thereby leaving an opening * hereby the "Valuable Honey Bees" can easily get the juices. I Often times our fruit trees bloom full r in the spring but fail to act any fruit, - or possibly just a small amount on the - side of the tree away from the wind. , Did you ever atop to think that' the • "Honey Bee" 'might be the cause of the amount of fruit that sett The "Honey Bee" is most valuable to : Fruit Growers md is necessary to in- ' I «ure perfect pollination and when F "Mother Nature" sends ua wet, windy ; weather during the Blooming Period so ' I that the Little Honey Bee Is unable to 1 : work we have a light act of fruit, this ' i is because certain varieties of fruit 1 i must be pollinated by bees if we get fruit. F Friends, do not blame the Poor Honey Bee for your fruit rotting. This is du. 1 to the fungus disease which can be eon- ' trolled If you will do better work ' . spraying. Talk with any one who i« i growing perfectly clean fruit and ask much the bees injures their fruit. :' Any fruit that you see the bees work in are specimens that are not . "Marketable" and were not when Mr . ' I started after the juices. Su.-'-i ' peaches are either too "ripe" for marl- t 1 . else "Partially Rotted" so that yon 1 are losing nothing i' the bees get a lit- I tie of the juice to pay them for assi-i 1 in Pollinating your blooms. Over ripe speckled peaches that soin 1 growers think the "bees" have injur- i better left at home as they apo-'l the market for better and higher pric- - peaches. GEORGE B.

,0 CAPE BUY'S NEW PROSECUTOR. ,r Without discussing the individual ap- [. pointed by Governor Fielder to fill the g vacancy left by the resignation of the ,f Prosecutor of the Pleas, Matthew Jefferson, it appears on the face of It to be i. a sheer case of favoritism on the part of i, the State'a Chief Executive to go outy side of the county to get a man to fill y this important county office. We have nothing to say against the t appointee, James Russell Carrow, of f Camden County. Fo? 'all we know this r young gentleman is a capable' man, upa right, and a good lawyer. But that . does not alter the fact that the Prose- . cntorahip should have been given to a . Cape May County attorney. There arc . three entirely capable Democratic laws ycrs in this county, and since party 1 lines must be drawn, and since it would r have been against the principle of the . Democratic Governor to name any of ' the many capable Republican county at- | torneys to fill the office, the least that , could have been done would have been i . to name one of the Democrats. The appointment, however, must be J ■ confirmed by the Senate at its next ses- , I sion. It is larely possible that the Sen- < • ate will confirm the appointment. Cer- 1 ■ tainly the people of the county should j ; take the matter up and storm their rep- ■ rejentative in the Senate when it con- 1 ■ venes, to squash this appointment. * We wjfh to reiterate that we haTe J ' nothing against young Carrow personal- ( , It is the principle of the thing that F i ua, as it must every other loyal 1 ! Cape May Countyite. • If we must have a "Deinocratiic Prose- ( cutor, by all means let us have one from s our own county. — Cape May County s Times. s • Q « Look for the Cape May County Fair ^ 9, 10. and- 11, at Cape May t Court House.
