Ad» Gone Ws on FOURTH _ RAILROADS GIVE TROOP TRANS. PORTATION AS REASON FOR CUTTING INDEPENDENCE DaY EXCURSIONS TO SHORE POINTS. CARS OVERCROWDED AND UNCOMFIRTABLE Traina Were Late Overcrowded trains, running . late, were the only means of transporting the thousands of visitors from Cape May and other seashore points to their homes last Sunday. Railroads blame the people for this, becuuse they had advertised prior to the 4th that the regular cut-rate excursions would mot run during the holidays. [The reason given for this blow to the seashore towns . was "transportation of troops." . As a matter of fact, it has been apparently proven that while on one road there was 181 troop cars in operation on July 2, and 125 on July 3, there was but 90 on Independence Day, cast of bes B Railroad authorities also pointed to the fact that the public had been advised to discontinue train rides during the months of June and July, In other words, it is mdvised that the public do not utilize a public utility! It was also learned that about 150 cars which might have been used were allowed to stand idle, while passengers stood, sprawled or leaned in the cars running from Cape | May | and other South Jersey points. This is by no means the first time that Cape May has been the object ‘of R. R. slaps, but the. officials are indeed becoming bold when they dare eliminate an excursion to Atlantic City. Gas is by no means the worst of our troubles. " bevmmome tv commmenned ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs, Charles A.

This wonderful heater will keep your house thoroughly warm all winter for less money than it can be done in any other way. You not only cut the cost of installation in half, but you reduce the cost of the coal consumption almost to the same proportion. Now this heater is no longer an experiment, but an actual experienced fact known by quite a few of your neighbors. ‘The best way . to settle the question is to ask the man who has one or call at the office of J. E. TAYLOR AND SON, 212 Ocean Street and let them tell you all.
