MRS. HARTUNG AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH From Monday'* Daily Star and Wave Mr*. Florence Zeigler Hartung, of Philadelphia, who haa been pawing the sum- 1 mer in Cape May, again tang at the * Presbyterian Church, both morning and evening, yesterday. In the morning Mrs. 1 Hartung was accompanied by her hus- * band} who is the violinist in the Hotel 1 Cape May orchestra. Mrs. Hartung has a rich soprano voice, deep and clear, and ' she always delights her audience when- 0 ever she sings , and the Presbyterian choir has been very fortunate in seeur- • ing the services of such a noted slng<r. j AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. ' ~~ From Monday's Daily Star and Wave, t On Saturday, as Jacob Tenenbaum I was. returning from Wildwood in his e machine, when in the vicinity of the v Cape May Farmstead, the machine collided with a truck wagon, driven by i George Cooper. The collision resulted s fn severe injury to Cooper and some H damage to the car. a SCHOOL BUILDING RENOVATED. Workmen have been busy for the past li week or so, making alterations at the R Public School Building, getting it into a shape for the opening of the term, on a Tuesday, September 7. The increased n enrollment that is expected in the High >whool has made more room a necessity. The- commercial department has been moved to the first floor, into the rooms formerly occupied by the first and second grades. The rooms formerly used by the commercial department will be a converted Into a drawing and fine arts c department. The first and second grades will be taken to tbe basement floor, formerly occupied by the kindergarten ( and the B division of the first grsdo. p We have not learned, in fact, no one p seems to know at this time, where these departments will be located. Several " locations have 'been considered, but none seem to measure up to the requirements. With the opening of tbe school term only a week away, this lack of school facilities presents a serious question, and one which requires prompt attention . OGDEN WITHDRAWS AS A CANDIDATE FOR SENATE. Luther C. Ogden, of this city announces in another column that he withdraws his name from the list of candidates for the Republican nomination for the State Senate and by so doing, has made fie Republican prospects much brighter. If the three candidates had remained in the field the bitter fight which would have surely resulted would have left scars which might not , have healed before election, and tbe nominee whoever may have been chosen, would have had difficulty in polling the party vote. The two candidates remaining are Lewis T. Stevens, of this city, who has served acceptably and creditably in the House of Assembly two years, and Miles Rigor, formerly of Philadelphia, at present residing at • Wildwood Crest, and unknown before in cur public affairs. The latter appears . to have the support of Brownmiller and ' Lloyd. People who are always looking for trouble miss a lot of joy riders. \l The American government can go 'to .."h " declares Gen. Francisco Villa, a remark which qualifies him for membership in a number of organizations, that have sprung into existence in the United States in the past few months. Some people make a bluff at hiding their light under a bushel, who never had a light. . ; .. JLK

Resolutions Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly 1 to take from us, Brother G.
