CAPE MAY BOY SCOUTS RE-ORGANIZED hTere has been at Cape May for several years a Boy Scout organization regularly registered and attached to the j National Boy Scouts of America. It i has been in a somewhat chaotic stlte several months, owing to the resignation of the scoutmaster and the can- c celling of' his commission in July last 1 and notice Anally came from the head- t quarters of the national organization that unless matters were adjusted the , Cape May Scouts would be removed -j the roll and each member would whatever standing he had. ; The Troop Comprittee, therefore, got , and live secured a new scout ^ master in the person of Clarence Bishop [ who is pronounced by those who know r about it and by the boys who have serv- g ed under _him as particularly well-adapt- t ed. He was assistant scoutmaster un- £ der Captain bent, and proved to be very efficient, lhe local organization is un- j der school auspices and the Troop Com- t mittee at present consists of E. R. t Louis C. Butler and A. W. ( This committee has not realized j responsibilities until recently, but in- * tends in the future to stand .back of the j organization and to do all it can to ( strengthen it It is certainly a valua- j organization and should be maintained here. There arc several other j scout organizations in the county and a ( competitive drill at the annual county , public schools field meet at the county , is contemplated, a silver cup or other ( • trophy to be awarded. A room is available for meeting purposes and for the of the scout properties add the 1 start is made under favorable con- j I ditions. Regulations under which new . , members may be enrolled will be an- , nounced later or information may be obtained of the new scoutmaster or of 1 any scout. It is the intention of the i scoutmaster and troop Committee to ^ adhere strictly to scout regulations in ■ all the details of organization and de- 1 velopment. ^ j NOTICE THw "f the Troy LBun- i dry has leased the office at 405 Wash- I ington street, where they will be located in the future.

FAREWELL AN ELABORATE SHORE DINNER SERVED IN HONOR OF SUPT A. J. SHORT OP CAPE MAY LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY. The employees of the Cape May light and Power Co. and the Cape May Illuminating Go. which has been under the sucesgful supervision of A. J. Short for the past year, recently learned that their home office was aoout to make a change in superintendents, planned a banquet in honor of Mr. Short who in the brief period he has been in May has made hundreds of strong on account of his methods of employees and the public. Mr. has done much for the improvement of the Light and Power service of this community and a a a result he will be transferred to Bucyrua, a city- in with the idea of improving the company's plant in that place. The banquet was a great surprise to Mr. Short as his invitation did not arrive until the time the affair was about to start. Bellangy's orchestra rendered several choice selections. Mr. Pentad acted as toastmaster and the following speakers responded to invitations: D. Burritt, General Superintendent for the company; Mr. J. H. Orr, of Rome, Y., who" will succeed Mr. Short as Superintendent of the company at Cape Miss Klein, chief clerk, and Mr. Short. The dinner consisted of nine courses, and was of the seashore variety. MAYOR STEVENS LECTURE . One of the most interesting lectures recently delivered in this city was that of Mayor W. L. tSevene, at the Methodist. Cfcurch, on "The Holy Land," Tuesday evening last. The speaker was particular to announce at the beginning that the advertising of the event was , somewhat misleading for it had stated that he was to deliver a lecture, but ho had no such intention. He was going give merely a "talk" upon some of his traveling experiences. However designated it was very illuminating and informing and the large audience pres- : cnt was loath to have it close, after two hours. As Pastor Judd remarked "It . was photographic," so vividly did the . speaker, in a quiet, conversational tone, depict the scenes and circumstances as well as the people. We are quite spre that nobody pres1 ent on this oeasion will miss an oppor- | tunity if presented, to hear Mayor ' Stevens again. BORN 1 On Tuesday morning a little - baby girl arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bishop and will be known as Virginia Elaine Bishop.
