A DARING 1 RESCUE TWO HEROIC ATHLETES BATTLE WITH SURF TO SAVE YOUNG 3 LADIES WHO GOT BEYOND THEIR r DEPTHS. Miss Phoebe Sattertleld, the charming daughter of Mra. Cali(ia Satterfield, t owner of the Chalfonte Hotel, accom- t panied by Mia* Rose, a guest of the j Chalfonte, accidentally got beyond their , depth while bathing in front of the ^ Stockton Baths Tuesday. The rare presence of mind prompted the girls to resort to floating and wait for aasis- c tance. On the beach at the time were 1 two young fellows. U. Apian Sparks, ; and Nat. Davis, dressed in street ap- • parel, who saw the unhappy plight in . which the girls were. Hurriedly disrobbing they .rushed through the surf | and made a daring rescue with the assistance of an employee of the Stockton | Baths, who met them with - a can buoy and helped them to dry land. . Aside from a little scare no serious effects have occurred. t It is to be regretted that the life guards are taken off -so early in the ( season as it is an established fact that September is the best bathing month, and miny visitors refrain from this I j pleasure on account of insufficient protection. NEW MOVIE HOUSE. Leslie Cresse is remodeling his garage , and will convert it into a motion picture ; bouse for the winter. Mr. Crew will , have the place equipped for comfortable | heating and has contracted for pictures • of unusual quality. The central loca- , tion should help to make the new ven- , ture a success. I

FALL MEETING OF THE "" WEST JERSEY PRESBYTER*, r Presbyterian ministers and elders representing the churches of six counties C held the fall sessions of their Presbytery in the Presbyterian Church. Mon- j 1 day and Tuesday. Rev. Wm. Tatlock. 7 of Woodstowu, was moderator. All the meetings were" interesting and the 1 reports from the churches were very gratifying, and special mention was ma£e_of the unusual interest and successful work of the churches under the i care of the Home Mission Committee. ' ' A popular meeting on Religious Edu- 1 cation was very ably addressed by Rev. C Calvin W. I-aufer.one of the secretaries « of the Board of Education. His work Is, t more particularly to creAte in the Pres- ' byterian Church a practical interest in the religious training of the children ' and young people outside of the influ- c ences of the church of Christ — the ne- « glected and indifferent, and to solve the f problem of how the vast masses eon- 1 1 stantly coming from foreign lands shall ^ I be trained for. civic righteousness a* > well as for their religions life. 1 1 The pastoral relation between Rev. • Dr. Laird and the Holly Beach Church was dissolved. His pastorate has been « a popular one and the regret of both the < Presbytery and church was expressed by flttiag resolutions. The doctor goes to Philadelphia to take charge of the I Green Mil Church. ? Rev. William C. Little. Ph. D.. of At laatic City, accepted the call to the 1 church at Woodbuhy Heights. Rev. B. M. Smith, supply to the church « of May's landtag, was examined for or- < dination in part, and was aaked to con- ' tinue hit work at that chnreh until next i regular meeting of Presbytery. A pe- • tition requesting the organisation of a church in the prosperous and growing s town of West Collingewood was presented and was granted. The spiritual condition of the churches < was very good and the outlook for ' the Evangelistic Campaign very prom- I Vising. And it was reflected in the very ' earnest half hours of the devotional exercises. We must not neglect to men- j tion the very fitting welcome given £y the pastor. Mr. Bosserman. who was 1 the very effective chairman of the Com- I raittee of Arrangements. Very pleasant impressions were made upon the members of the Presbytery of the great hospitality of the church enjoyed as guests of the Hotel Columbia. It was a very desirable arrangement, " where the members could have a more social time together. Mine host, John W. Mecray, by his easy and affable way, also a very popular member of the body, made every one feel at home and happy. And Mrs. Mecray and the lady 1 clerk were very helpful and efficient in ( .their pleasant and cheerful attention to 1 the comfort and pleasure of the seventy

COMMENT AND ANNOUNCEMENTS LEWIS T. STEVENS, CANDIDATE FOR STATE SENATOR. . , There are many people by the name of Stevens in various parts of our county and, as a rule, they are pretty active people. Lewis T. Stevens, the candidate for the Republican nomination for State Senate, is a lawyer and has been paretising for fifteen years. He is also author of a History of Cape May County, a very valuable compilation, and of a treatise upon the laws governing commission | form of government, the only thing of lifts kind extant. He lias served in the House of Assembly two terms and for three years was Assistant Secretary of the State Senate. Few men, if any, in this county, are as familiar with the workings of the State government and the laws of the State, as he. During the last session- he was pronounced by men of experience to be one of the most useful , men in the House of Assembly, because of his clear understanding of the procedure and bis ability to do tilings. Every true Republican of the county should interest himself in promoting his nomination on Tuesday. His depends nee is upon yon. because he has no cash to distribute and must lie nominated on principle. NOT A POLITICAL MATTER. It is becoming evident that the conspirators desire to make tin- election of commissioners a political affair but it is not. It is a plain every day business matter for- which the best business men ' pi ssible must be obtained. The competency and standing of the individual entirely independent of his political affiliations, must be i-onsidered. With the right "men. the city will progress and de1 velop ; with men selected and controlled by our aspiring bosses, the ' city will be plunged into bankruptcy. THE UNHAPPINESS OF BOSSES.

candidacy for the State Senate, that thev lose sight of the object for which they are striving and attack in priut the Star and Wave, the leading county Republican newspaper, against w hich tliey seem to boar the aforesaid animosity, in spite of the fact thr.t it has occupied a neutral position ronsistently during the primary campaign and has published uv comments of its own upon any of the candidates. If Kigor is exclusively the candidate of these gentlemen they should issue notice that nobody may support him without their permission, that nobody must even remain neutral without their permission, and that everybody, excepting themselves, must support his opponent outright, because, unless they are among the chosen few. who are permitted by them to support Rigor, they will be ripped up the back, and falsely accused, and otherwise attended to, if they dare even to remain neutral. "Ordert" should go forth from the big chief of the Cannibal Islands to all persons, just as they have already been issued to election officers, defining what they may or may not do, and announcing the penalty awaiting them if thes "orders" are disobeyed. OUR CONFESSION. We are compelled $• confess that Assemblyman Stevens did give us information which permitted us to bid upon legislative printing. That we did so bid. That Mr. Stevens saw to it that onr bid was fairly considered and that finally, said bid being the lowest upon certain kinds ofwork, the said Stevens saw to it that the contract for said work was duly awarded to us. The said work was completed to the satisfaction of all parties and the said Star and Wave received many words of praise far its excellence from many sources, together with orders from private individuals for other work, as a consequence of it. Everybody seemed to be happy. But lo. we now discover that neither Mr. Stevens nor the Star and Wave had asked permission before doing these things, of the gentlemen who own the State and county and city and this puts ths fat in the fire. Aint it the limit. N. B. — Use "Cape Bay Bond" for your stationery. It is used by New Jersey legislators with great satisfaction. ^ THE FIRST TIME. This is the first time, within our knowledge, that any legislative printing has ever come to. Cape May and probably the first time that any concern in this county ever made the effort to obtain work of this kind. There are few, if any other offiees in the county equipped to do it and some of the legislative eontmittee who opposed the award, asserted that it could not be done outside of (Continued on fourth page.)

CONGRESSMAN BACHARACH IN 1 WASHINGTON TO GREET VET. J Much interest lias been taken by ConI press man Bacharach in connection with the visit of the Veterans from the Second Congressional District of New .ler- j <-ey to the National Encampment of the G. A. 'R. to be held in Washington, Sep- , teuiber 27 tii to October 2nd. The Congressman several months ago sent a lettei} to each of the veterans in the district offering his good service in the matter of securing suitable ac- \ eommodations, etc., and asking that 1 they make their headquarters at his office during their stay in Washington, * placing at their use his secretary and t office equipment so that their stay in < the city might be made as pleasant and convenient as possible. » ; Congressman Bach uracil will be in his | office at the House Office Building dur- 1 ing the encampment, and he wishes to renew his cirdial invitation, through ; the columns of this paper to the veter- j una of the district and also ex-tends a 1 cordial invitation to their friends to j call and see him during their stay in Washington. communicated. < Cape May, N.
