Upon tneir arrival they are entirely refitted with 1 clothes and make to look respectable, on return jlig the clothing remains their property aqd helps them to have a . : outlook in life for a least a • short time.

Gandy, one of the faculty of the Woodbine system of schools, ' . has been appointed helping teacher for Cape May County, by Commissioner of Education, C N. Kendall, on the recommendation of County Superintendent • ; Miss Gandy is one of the best grade ■ teachers in the county and has had a 1 number of years experience, including three years in the Philadelphia schools. One of the plans contemplated in connection with the work is the reorganiza- > tion of the curriculum for the smaller • schools of the county, with special ref1 erence to co-relation with the commun- ■ itv life and interests. I The law providing for this helping teacher, was passed last winter and the 1 innovation is likely to prove of great l value to the smaller schools and to our I inexperienced and untrained teachers. r Miss Gandy holds a State certificate and has been a student at the University of Pennsylvania for several years, having had, also, summer school courses at I other universities. She is regarded as » particularly eligible for the position to ', -which she has been appointed. She will ' be attached to the county superintend- > ents's office and under b& direction.

SUBMARINE TOR JULY 4, H : SECRRTARY OF THE NAVY DETAILS < FOUR SUBMARINES FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION- « WILL MANOEUVER IN HARBOR. 1 -."f e j As a result of considerable work with ' the Nary Department, with a view of ! getting some war craft here to partki- ] l>ate in our Fourth of July celebration in ' the harbor Mr. J. E. Taylor has received 1 direct work from the Secretary of the Navy that he has assigned us four sub- ' marines. These are to leave League Is- 1 ' an July first for Cold Spring Inlet to remain nntil July fifth. As this will greatly increasee interest in our celebration and at the same time keep our harbor entrance and the possibilities of i the use of our harbor prominently before the country we should all apprecit ate the effective effort that in this mat- - ter has been put forth. The submarine demonstration together with the proI gram that is being worked out by the • Board of Trade should give us a Fourth • of July long to be remembered, not only 1 by ourselves but by our visitors whom P we with to entertain. 1 PORTER GETS CITY CLERKSHIP After very carefully considering the > standing, qualifications and dispositions 1 of the various applicants, and also the suggestion, etc., of their friends in the ' matter, the Commissioners decided that " the. interest of the City would be best 1 served by the appointment of William 1 Porter to fill the unexpired term of • Ti'os.

REEVES AND GREEN DISPLAY NEW STYLE PUMP ■ A new style pump for an arteaian well has, been installed for exhibition in the window of the former store of Reeves and Green at 405 Washington street. This pump is operated bv electricity an electric motor starting' when the pressure gets down to 30 lbs. and stopping again when the pressure gets up to 50 lbe. This pump is excellent for house use where there is no municipal water supply, ths cost of operating being but seven cents per thousand galThe operation of the pump is very interesting, the attention of many perbeing attracted while passing. TO OUR PROPERTY OWNERS The financial and business condition of Cape May may be likened to that of a $6,500 corporation with about an elev- . en and one half percent net debt, with . about $125,000 uncollected accounts outstanding and business prospects very . dull. Also with an average gross income , of only two and a half percent of , which about one third is required to ! pay interest charges. Naturally, the , management of a business concern in , such condition would heroically exert itself to collect its accounts and otherwise better conditions in order to "prevent a stock assessment or Worse. Unless we collect our back taxes, etc., _ and materially tocrcase our rateable we may <*yifldently expect a further increase in taxation; this is inevitable. To ^ accomplish the former we look only to t those already interested here, but the t latter can be brought about only by ^ interesting others. In order to accom- £ plish the latter we should make our resort feature advantages known ia a new field. We need to Interest every-

body possible to reach b^' new meant who would appreciate or who may desire resort advantages such as we pos- < sess. » There is only one Cape \ Hay. 4 The cool and comfortable tip end of-** pe- ; insula twenty miles at sea; to be reached easily by the highest standard ; railroads, by the best of State automoroads and by water. The two means of travel exist to all our , coast resorts but we alone enjoy the latter means completely. Of safe entrance, docking and terminal facilities for water transportation in the harbor ( and entrance built by the Government at Cold Spring Inlet. This great advan- , we have not heretofore availed our- . selves of- The time has arrived to do so, both on account of our pressing need increase our rasort business and also order to show sufficieift appreciation of our harbor entrance to have it main-' tained by the Government. This feais of the most vital importance perhaps of anything immediately confronting us. Why do we not act more heroically in this matter? Who is mainly at fault that we do not (those of us who have not) take more interest .in and a better of this water transportation proposition ? Shall w-e give up and sell our steamboat for what we can obtain and back into the old time personal dis-interestednesB-thxt has cost and is costCape May so much? That, as we view it, has left and finds us so conspicuously alone as - anti-progressive. That we fear, has almost ruined us. Your prompt decision «s indicated either by your assistance or otherwise awaited with grave concern. Your present official head of your city busiandv those who are so loyally assisting him cannot alone accomplish near all that is possibly or even desirable. Agaix, do you not see the possibilities and the necessity of concert , of action to obtain the best business results for our resort. A stock subscrip- ' tion in the Steamboat matter however small will be appreciated by all those ! who have subscribed. The work on the ' boat >s progressing more rapidly than ! the receipt of funds for "the same come ' and the writer is personally obliged to advance large sums to meet weekly material and "payroll payments. This " a hardship and discouraging because, ' would we all help a little, the burden ' would be very light to us all. W. L. STEVENS, Mayor.
