STEAM BOAT LINE CORPORATION NOW BEING FORM- 1 ED FOR STEAMBOAT LINE BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA AND CAPE MAY. Mayor W. L. Stevens and Postmaster ■lames E. Taylor have been . untiring in their efforts to establish a boat line to j between Philadelphia and Cape May. A corporation is now being formed and will be known as the Cape May Steamf Boat Company. The object will be to own and operate a steam boat line between Philadelphia and Cape May 1 touching at Chester, Wilmington and While the new enterprise is still in its infancy there is much evidence of a successful establishment of a regular schedule between the points mentioned above. The boat will be well equipped and will accommodate over 700 passengers with plenty of room for cargoes. It is rumored that a special low rate for automobile* with the idea of increasing traffic between Washington, Baltimore and other points I will be established. In the days of the Steamer Queen Ann, which plyed bet w wen Lewes and Cape May. it will be recalled by the citizens of the resort that thousands of passengers were landed in Chpo May southern points at greatly reduced Fruit, vegetables, fish, lobsters, soft crabs aad poultry were sent in large quantities from the fertile farms and productive streams of Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. Of course the quality is not up to the Cape May County standard, but in view of the fact that Chpe May County cannot supply the enormous demand we mifist look for food that can be secured quickly and cheaply and we must point to the - vast acres across the Delaware Bay for this supply. Mayor StevcoV first important more after the hrganization of the Commission was to harness himself to , this steamboat question, and we know that will not be content until he sees the steamers ploughing through the Inlet ' to, thhe wharf in the Cape May Harbor. Investors will be given an opportunity' to subscribe for stock in the company in Philadelphia, Cape May and , Officers of the organization will probably be announced in the next Issue of the Star and Wave. CARROLL VILLA UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. Mrs. G. H uarretson will conduct the Careqll Villa this season. This house !" is fine summer home of some of the best people who spend their summer at Cape May and has been under the successful management of Mrs. T. R. Brooks for a period of twenty years. ^ Mrs. Biooks has retired from business. CITY BAND ENGAGED.

It is to be hoped that the veil of censorship which the War Department has drawn over the military operations in Mexico will not be used to cloak a lot of highbrow interference with the troops from Washington. There has been enough of the namby-pamby already in this Mexican business. We have at last come to a position where a real man's job is in hand, and a real man has been assigned to it.

Washington, the President went golf- • lng. The day -the hunt for Villa was j started the President went to the 1 theatre .tw^and the next day he left Washington for a week-end cruise on the Mayflower. Yet the fiction of the hectored aad problem-driven President , is still stock-in-trade among Democratic exhort era aad editors. At last the question of preparedness ben settled at least to the satisfaction of Representative John R. Con-. . nelly, of the Sixth Kansas Diet riot. Stated briefly, Mr. Connelly's advice is . this: "If we am attacked by a foreign ( foe— run." This is the way he is quoted: "The people of the Atlantic Coast could retire behind the Alleghenies aad those living on the Pacific Coast . could* retire behind the Rockies." How t delightfully simple and how broadly j patriotic is the attitude of Represent*- ( tive Connelly! A plan which con tern- ^ plates the abandonment to an invader f of the rich regions lying tietween the mountains and the seaooast on either | side of the continent should make a , tremendous hit with millions living in ■ those regions. To be told, fW if as- j sailed they may retreat to tjie Sixth 1 Congressional District of Kansas,' where j perhaps the hotels and boarding houses ^ would accord them special rates, shoulJ be particulariy gratifying -sad comforting.— Erie Herald. < [ Dr. Albert Smith of the Mecray Phar- 1 , macy, has purchased a roadster. < " 1 Judge H.

TTiose Democrat* who are seeking to 1 have it appear that Mr. Root, in his ringing exhortation of the halting and 1 . stumbling diplomacy of 4dminis- > , t rat ion, raised the alternative of the 1 employment of force, and that he stands I for war with Germany, are drawing the I . long bow with their necpstomed indjfiI ferenoe to fact. Nothing in the address ' i # the eyanLat Republican carries _a . shadow of inference in favor of war — , but everything points to his contempt , of a diplomacy of inertness and ineffi- i j ciency. He knows, and the oountry knows, that, following the first stage ' of the issue with Germany, there never 1 5 was a time, when Germany could have I hern dragged into war with the United 1 {Rates. i The Democrats would have Mr. Root ! . appear. as neither a knave or a fool 1 j when they say he advocates war with ' ; Germany or blames the administration • i for not plunging the nation into con1 gestion. Peace with credit is one thing; ' peace with discredit is another. If the longbowmen of the Democratic party , will only gather their wit* to perceive 1 t this distinction, they Will have the key ' to that finely analytical address.— Baltimore American. r i t, TROY LAUNDRY REMODELLED. i Harry Balm owner of the Troy Launs dry, recently purchased the Columbia , Laundry and will merge the two in one . new and modern plant. Mr. Balm is a s man of real at-tion asi well as a reliable L citizen. After purchasing thd Colum1 bia Laundry he "junked" all of the ma- , chinerv and remodeled the building and t placed it in an approved sanitary condi- . tiion as he realizes that efficiency is a assisted by ideal working conditions, . given his employees.

LIQUIDATING COMPANY OFFERS PIER SITE FREE The Mutual Liquidating Company has ■ tendered the city a pier site at the 1 foot of Madison Avenue, and have al- • so promised to promptly consider build1 ing the proposed steamboat company . a wharf on the Harbor at? a point most advantageous for it's use. These facts ' are all very pleasing to be able to announce. As to the pier site. Our citizens will be given an opportunity to express their preference as between a ^ free site at Madison Avenbe and a $20,000 sight in front of the Stockton ' , Property. There is also another site that is now occupied by Pavilion No. 3. where the beach is high and wide. A modern convention hall located here would add tone to the town owing to the fact that the Pennsylvania summer depot is located very near this pavilion and the picture presented woul£. look prosperous to the new arrival from the hot and . , auaty cities, f ~t~ Is your Money Making Money for you?
