■ , TROLLEY LINE - IMPROVES rLAT WHEELS ABOLISHED AMD BETTER TIML MADE OH ALi. LINES — PC JLiC UTILITIES BOARD DECIDES '-HAT IMPROVEMENT^ MEET THEIR DEMANDS. During the past week -the people here here noticed the great improvement in the trolley service to all parts of the local line. The noisy flat wheels have been done away with and all cars are running with little noise. I*at Sunday the trolley line put a aurprise over on the people by putting on a ten minute service to Sewell's Point, a thing that has not been done for over two years while since then the cars have been running fairly stead) mslring connections at the switches and causing favorable comment for a change. With the flat wheels of the cars replaced with other wheels that are in good condition and the power house repaired the men are able to keep to their schedule and are not getting as many complaints from the phssengers. Many of the people that have been using the line have not realised the conditions that the men work under and made their complaints against the crews who were unable to better things in the least. Xow thst the crews "are able to keep to their schedule on nearly all trips they are not being unjustly insulted. If the trolley line can maintain the service that was given on Sunday last for the remainder of the season it will be able to lose its nickname of th? "Toonerville Trolley" for its correct one by the time the season closes CAPE MAY _jC»pe May, thou darling queen Of all the sedside places, Though others may have beaten thee III life's, uneven races — Yet thou art here, thyself a gem. Beside the mighty ocean — Thy greatness lingers and will' soon Exceed our fondest notion. Thy grandest men and women too Of the past generations Have done their work and entered in Tq rest through His salvation. But other men will come along And see with open eyes The future greatness of the place And they . wU! win, or die. Thou standest "as a mighty guard To the vast Delaware, On whose banks richest cities grow And flourish very fair. The waiting foe with open eye Looks longingly this way. It is for thee with watchful eye To bid him stay away. Fair navies find a resting place Within thy land-locked bayWhile teeming multitudes may come And pass their time away. Then onoe more hail, thou darling queen. Go on thy conquering way — I We may not live to see it come ' But thou wilt win the day. —Eli Gifford, I). 1). j August 23, 1910. LIEUT. L. H. BARLOW KILLED IN BATTLE Lieutenant Lovel Hard wick Barlow, i the son of Mrs. R. H. Barlow, of Haverford and Cape May, one of the greatest women gold players in the country, was killed on August 14, 'whilp fighting gallantly with the British army in France, according to advices received from London Tuesday night. ^ Lieutenant Barlow left Havqrford during the winter of 1914-1915 and enlisted with Kitchener's army. Before he left he bad gained considerable popularity in Main Line society. For a long time his friends heard from him while be, like hundreds of thousands of other new recruits, was bring worked • into shape for the final test of actual warfare. Later it was learned that he had been transferred to the King's Own Regiment as a subaltern officer, and still more recently that he was a member of tlic big British force engaged in the big ; drive ih France. The meagre dispatch telling of young parloxy's death "merely said that it had been a gallant one. Mrs. Barlow the young man's mother, is at a hotel here. Young Barlow was a member of the | Merion Cricket and other clubs and attended Main Line schools. His sister, who is Mrs. Y. X. Beig, the .wife, of Lieutenant Beig, U. S. X-, is now at Annapolis. Both Mr. and Mrs. Barlow are very well known to the Cape Slay summer colony.

FRANK LEAKING ~ ^The old order changeth." These , words came vividly to the writer's mind | as fae watched the mortal remains of Frank t «Mni»g lowered to their last resting place in the old churchyard at > South Dennis. For, truly, Frank Learning's life was a > connecting link between the old time and * the new — between the simple, patriarchal life of the old Cape May and the bustling, progressive spirit of the new. s As we laid him to rest, the very air » of that old churchyard seemed filled s with whisperings of the voices of the s past. All around were clustered the t moss-grown tombstones of his forebears — Learnings and Ludlams and Falkin. i burgs. Within a. stone's throw stood j the old mansion where his boyhood days e were spent, built by his great-grand-e father, of bricks brought from England e in the long ago. i Frank Learning was born nearly three i score years ago, just at the close of that i. era when the sturdy Cape May folk, - near descendants of the early colonists, d still grew their own sheep and carded - their own wool and wove their own i homespun. His cradle was fashioned by y the old time journeyman cabinetmaker. The blanket that covered him was the n product of his grandmother's spinning i- wheel and loom. In his boyhood the d motor-car and the telephone were not s even a fantastic oream, and not a steel e rail/ had been Uid on the soil of bis na0 tive county. In his yontb be chased wild 11 cattle across the barren sand dunes of i- the beaches which sentinel the ocean ride of the .Cape May peninsula, e He li\-ed to see the barren sand dunes ,t shining at night with myriads of jeweled U lights, and sheltering thousands of dwell,s ers of the inland cities seeking health ie and pleasure. The cloth that covered . his still face was of the finest weave of foreign loom. The far reaching .vol o of the telephone told to his friends tne story of his passing. The roar of the locomotive and the rush of the automohuc mingled with the solemn tones of the preacher as he pronounced the burial Frank Learning was born fifty-nine years ago. With the exception of a few years when be was in butyness in thy. West, residing for a time in Flagstaff, Arizona, he lived all his life !u Cape Muy Coilhty. In 1888 he marri • i Annie XI Edwards, a daughter of the late '.'opt. Lewis Edwards. His .ancestry readies back through perhaps a- dozen different lines to the earliest Colonial days. An ancestor was one of the Pilgrims of the Mayflower, another came over with William Penn. Men of his race fought in the old Indian wars, in the Revolution and in the. war of- 1812.." Since Christopher "Lemyeng" came 'here from New England in 1091, always Learnings have lived and died in Cape May County, many of them holding high places in civil and political life. Frank Learning did not choose to live a strenuous life. He did not follow the Learning tradition of active public service. But he was a good and an honorable business man, a good neighbor, a good husband, a'good citizen. He made few close friends, perhaps, but those he made he bound to him with "hooks of steel," and those who knew him longest loved him most. Quietly, unostentatiously, in the" Leaming way. -he gave of his substance to I the poor and the needy. No appeal for I chafitv was ever made to him in vain. I And his was not the cold giving of the , jp.-ofe- ional philanthropist; "for with his ^h n "a v . rd of cheer. ' " ** * ! £ j us who knew him well and lovel him will drop a tear upon hie grave; and as J we gird np our bins for the battles of . life which are still before us in these t strenuous days we will look wistfully p back for one moment to those "good old . days" which his passing brings to mind.

i ii mi i lain H- in i a - : f TO REPUB1..CAN VOTERS Colonel Austen Colgate, candidate for die Republ ican nomination for Governor, is a man of achievement. His opponents know this; hence their desperate efforts to minimize the importarfce of his services to the State. Their misrepresentations have only reacted upon themselves. The following facts have been substantiated by a thorough search of die legislative records: During his five years as Senator he has handled mere bilk than any of his- colleagues, . During his entire eight years of service in the House and Senate, he has been reported as absent less than half a dozen times. He has never sought to evade responsibility by declining to vote when a legislative measure came up for action. He was the original sponsor for many of the most important measures enacted by the Legislature in recent . years. He has never allowed his political ambition to stand in the way of his duty to the State He has never permuted defeat to dishearten him, but year after year has re-introduced measures he believed to be wordy, until by his very persistence they have become a part of the law of the State, He has been a staunch friend of labor and has interested himself especially in humanitarian measures of ail kinds: He was one of the most influential factors in bringing about equal taxation, limited franchises, the eight-hour work-day, election law reforms, conservation of the State's natural resources, pqre food regulation, honest weights and_ measures, reciprocity and proper restriction for automobiiists. widows' pensions, improvement of the State road system and oiher reforms and benefits of inestimable value to the people of New Jersey. He is not only a man of achievement, but the man who can poll the largest number , of vbtes at the election in November.
