I IS IT TO BE FORGOTTEN. , ' The Public Ledger last summer under ' tie con de plume of "Peggy Shippen" j ' printed one of tie most dastardly and j damaging articles against Cape May 1 that -ever appeared. Protests and cor- ' rectjocs were sent for publication in - reply but excepting polite letters stat- J ing tiat it would be "made right," the '• Ledger baa done nothing. Tie article 1 was a definite and malicious libel and 1 was widely circulated. Will Oape May 1 permit the Ledger to get away with f this thing without making it right? 1 Aa we have stated Jfcef ore, we have no ' doubt tiat it was instigated by At- 1 lan tic CSty and it is high time tiat Q these and other things to tbe injury of ' Oape May. be noticed and persecuted as ' well as traced to their real source. r They dont happen by accident and ' "Peggy Shippen" is not responsible ex- c eepting in her capacity as an agent for t her paper. ' ________ t KUKAL CARRIER EXAMINATION. j The United States Civil Service Oom- ^ mission has announced an examination for the 'Comity of Cape May, New Jer- * asy, to fce held st Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, on January 22. 1916, to t fill the position of rural carrier ah Cape May Court House, and vacancies that i may later occur on rural routes from t other post offices in the above-mentioned ' county. The examination will be open «mly to male eitisens who are actually ^ domiciled in the territory of a post ^ office in tie county and who meet the ^ other ' requirements set forth in Form ^ No. 1977. This form and application Wanks may be obtained from the offices ^ mentioned above or from the United , States Civil Service Commission at 1 Washington. IX C. Application should ^ be forwarded to the Commission st the earliest practical date. 1 \ "THE WOMAN NEXT DOOR." j* j George Kleine's recently completed y film versionvof Owen Davis' "The Worn- j an Next Dqor>, which visits the Perry j 1 * Street Thtetre on Monday, is s rare ex- i ' ample -of the camera's ability, properly , directed, to reflect the strongest emo- I" tions of the heart. Mise Irene Fen- j ' wick, the dainty, slender, little star of i ' Al. Wood's great Broadway success, j "The Song of Songs," h\s never before ; had a vehicle eo well suited to her j powers or one in which she felt so ' much at home as the role of Jenny Gay I , in "The Woman Next Door." The timed, ! ' gentle, pathetic figure of the socially ostracized actress appeals strongly for , sympathy and early in the action wins for Miss Fenwick a warm place in the heart of the audience. In the opinion 1 of well informed film men, Miss Fenwick's work in "Tbe Woman Next Door" marks her as great an artiste f of the screen as she already is of the so-called legitimate stage. ^ 1 WEEKLY PROGRAM PERRY STREET i THEATRE. l The management of the Perry Street c Theatre wishes to call the attention of C its patrons to the change of days when ■ Paramount Pictures are shown.

I 'THE "STAR OF THE CAPE" IN 1S69 | | We have among our archives a copy j of tbe Star of the Cape, published at ' Court House , Thursday, March 1th, 1809, volume 1, No. 16, oU cents a year advance. Motto: "Live and let live."' H. C. Cheever, editor and publisher. In iiie ir is 12 by 17 inches. In its advertisement of itself it suggests: "Lnrph and grow phat! Now is the time to cubagribe for the Star of the Cape, an , independent family newspaper, pub . iiehed Weekly at Cape May Court , , House. Phull of Phun! Rich, nit and , : A sure cure for depression of , spirits, loss of appetite and dont feel _ ! well generally. Its object is to inter- j i est, instruct and amuse." 1 Its contents were "A French Ro- j ' mance," and several humorous anec- ; doles. These on the first page. On the second page were rather ysigkty editorials and items of n«"'i i from different sections of the county. Even at this early stage in its exisof Oape May County newspapers, the old-time bsbit of encouraging subscribers to pay their subscription bills by more or less caustic or humorous references to iheir delinquency, seemed to be in vogue, for the "Wave" is quoted as follows: "Wagons cannot gun without wheels, boats without steam, bull-frogs jump without legs, or newspapers be earned on everlastingly without money any more than a dog wag Ms tail when he has none. Our subscribers are all good but what good does a good man's goodness do, when it doea good to nobody? We've no doubt every one thinks sill have paid but him, and as we are a clever fellow and to dnn a man, and his account is small matter, it makes no difference." Another item is of "Oape May's Election" and states that The following is the ticket elected Tuesday: Mayor, Waters B. Miller; Recorder, Thomas B. Hughes; Council, Thomas D. dark, Samuel R. Ludlam, James S. Kennedy; Treasurer, James Mt-eray, Jr.; Assessor, Alvin P. Hildreth; Collector, Henry Hand; Marshal, Jonathan Rash; Clerk of Election, Samuel R. Stites; Judge of William "Schellenger; Chosen Freeholders, S. S. Marcy, Joseph Schellinger; Commissioners of Appeal, Aaron John W. Blake, Jeremiah E. Constables, Joseph Hand, Henry Stuart; Overseer of the Poor, A. Ivey." I The weather was not neglected in the jnews columns and the following paragraph is devoted to It: j "Weather — We shall not attempt to j keep tbe run of the weather, for it has got so changeable that we can't. Last 1 week we told how pleasant it was. and then Saturday cam.- the biggest | snow storm of the season, and the jsieigh bells jingled merrily. Monday ' those wanting ice bad a chance and j they improved it too. { "Now it ie pleasant and last night, I The advertisements include a column one, IS inches, of 5- S.

Spaulding, Mayville, "will turn out 20,000 to 30,000 per diem;" "Mayville Academy, next term of this Institution will begin Monday, January 4th, 1869. Terms: English branches s"' per quarter, Higher Mathematics, Language, Music, etc.. extra. Board for limited number of students can be had at the institute for $4.00 per week. If jt larger number apply board can be in the vicinity." The principal w»s H. R. Edgst. Madden and Parker advertised the Union House at Goshen; A W. Springer, a country store and carpet weaving establishment at Dyers F. Nichols a boot and shoe store at Court House, which states that he "dosing out his entire stock at cost-" One of the humorous items pubwas "A young girl, after receivthe attentions of a young man for several months, abruptly asked him when he intended to marry her. He, said he was not on the marry. She then broke a tea pot filled with boilwater, over his head." It is easy to perceive fro® this last that those old times were strenoccasionally. LEWIS T. ENTRIKEN. Lewis T. Entriken. aged 66 years, died on December 30, 1915, at his home Washington Street, from a general debility. The deceased had been quite ill for! several months past.
