Mr. A. L Faulkner has just complet- i ed the demolition of the old fram: mansion that was erected at Broadway , and Emerald avenue by Enoch El- ; dredge in September 1827- The builder occupied it for many years until his ' death, when it was given, by his widow, to his two sons, Enoch and William, who occupied it in turn as their homes and later occupied .by Philip Hand. In September. 1863, it was sold to Dr. Stone, of Washington. D. C., who rebuilt it, the alterations being completed in 1868. After Dr. Stone's death Mrs. Stone gave the house to her only daughter, the wife of Qr. Harrison, who occupied it as her summer home for many years. A replica preserving the records of the construction and remodeling of the house was fouad in the shape of a 3inch square piece of white pine wood that was found built into one of the walls. The only heirs of the former owners and brothers Enoch and William Eldredge are Mrs. Joseph Hand. Mrs. Helen Reynolds, of Baltimore; Mrs. Annie Semler, of Washington, Mrs. Samuel Swain, of Philadelphia, and Mr. Charles eldredge, of West Cape May. The owner of the property for the last number of years has been Miss Martha Harrison, who received it by the will of Mrs. Harrison. The property has not been oocupied since her mother's death, but it has always been kept in repair. In teaming the structure down Miss HarriaoqJ ordered the mantels and other pieces shipped to Washington where they will be installed in •a bungalow to serve as a remembrance . of^the old house. Among the relics found in the building during demolition were two copper pennies i—ued in 1718 and 1726. | The building was of very good ' con- j structjon having brick "foundations, heavy beams and -joists and was one of the strongest constructed houses in West Cape May.

PHRASE MAKING— SINCERE 1 AND OTHERWISE 1 j \Coodrbw Wilson has enjoj-eii a wide ' j ropiftatiop as a phrase-maker. Xut only ' j in llii* oouutry, but in all the foreign ! oHi<-e> of the world, his facility to spin 't | the English language into fine phrases | has been recognized. But he is no long- 1 er the one. Hughes has shown that he, j. "too, is a make? of phrases. His "un- ' diluted Ame ri catifsm '' 'added to the rig- ' orous sentences of his prompt and stirring telegram to Senator Harding put him at once into the first rank of those ! who use the mother tongue with p'urt po~e and punch. t If the nontest of 1916 were to be confined to this particular we can see how , the purists would have a most delightful . summer — and it is probable that this 1 form of rivalry will play a large part 1 ' in the details of the campaign. ] I The voters, however, will be looking " I, beyond the form of statement this year; they will be seeking the substance. "Here ' 1 Hughes will have the President at a great disadvantage. Not only will he equal if not surpass the President in the manner of his expression of the vital • issues of the canvass, but he will make ] ] his utterances In such fashion aa to , carry conviction. Wilson regard i words . an an end. He thinks that a smart phrase fulfills his complete duty In al- 4

most any contingency. Not so Mr. "He regards Word.- as only a to a clearer understanding of convictions and of 'duty, His words ring with 'sincerity. Behind them is a man o- character and earnestness. Through 1 hem the average reader or the average who hears him speak can always discern the true metal of a genuine soul.

! Fourteen million dollars worth of exports left New York on June 5th. Aft- , er looking over the list H is clear„that the only items not coming under the category of munitions of war were mow1 reapers, and other agricultural implements, aqd they totaled $334,000. The export of brass alone totaled nearly ■ and from the buttons on a ; soldier's coat to the shells loaded with 1 ' death-dealing shrapnel, the uses of brass i in modern warfare are countless. Who can blame Postmaster General for trying to run the Democratic Congress. He saw how easily Wilson had been doing it, and thought he would try the trick himself. President Wilson should have followed his Flag Day proclamation with another proclamation fixing a memorial day for the victims of the Lusitania and of the massacre in Columbus, New Mexico. "• When the Democratic convention at St. Louis commended the splendid "diplomatic victories" of the President, did they have in mind the salute he did , not get from Huerta, or the mind-your-own-business letter he received 'from
