WENTZELL VOTES "NO". Mr. George P. Wentzell, one of our city commissioners, has, as is well known, consistently favored, from the begining, the acceptance of the proposal of the Palace Theatre Company, with, such modifications as might be necessary for the thorough protection of the city's interest. When the petition signed by some hundreds of citizens, was presented at ■ the regular weekly meeting, Tuesday . December 22nd, it was ordered received and filed by the usual vote, two to one, and a letter was presented by Commissioner Sheppard, to which was attached the names of Commissioners Sheppard and Melvin, giving t^eir explanation of their course in opposition < to the acceptance of the proposal. This, too, was ordered received and Ailed. At the regular weekly session, Tuesday December 29th, a bill from the Star and Wave, for the publication of : this letter of explanation, was pre- , gen ted, but Commissioner Wentzell re- < fused to approve it claiming that the , expenses had not been authorized by , action of the Commissioners during the regular weekly session Tuesday December 22nd, but by agreement after the adjournment of the regular meeting by Commissioners Sheppard and Melvin. Commissioner Wentzell •also expressed the opinion that the let- , ter of explanation was a private matter concerning Commissioners Sheppard and Melvin, personally, and that the expenses of its publication and circulation should be borne personally by these two gentlemen, but conceded that, as it Wl been incorporated in the minute of the meeting, it could have been published at the city's expense with the regular monthly summary of the proceedings of the Commission. The bill was finally ordered paid by a two to one vote, Mr. Wentzell voting "NO". OLD CIVIL WAR RELIC One of the rarest flag relics in this country is in the possession of mem-l bers of the family of Mrs. Herbert. A. Wilcox, of West Philadelphia." It is the first flag raised as an emblem of the secession by South Carolina, which was known as the mother state of the confederacy. Until the time of his death the flag was in the possession of Captain Henry W. Hand, of Cape May, N. J., who was an uncle -of Mrs. Wjlcox. He was a union naval officer during the Civil War and at the time of bis death was editor of the Cape May Wave. - The flag is eight feet long by six feet broad. It is of solid turkey redJ with a large white star and ere sent | In the upper left hand corner. It was made by the ladies of , Charleston on the eve of that state's declaration of the secession in December, 1860, and was hoisted the following morning over the Charleston custom house. Some time after a small privateer ( and blockade runner, the Dixie, was outfitted in that city, and as it had no flag, the star and cresent banner of Charleston was presented to its captain as his colors. The Dixie continued its depredations until the Spring of 1863, when it was captured by Hie U. S. S. Keystone State. Gaptain Hand, then a division and watch officer on the Union gunboat, was the boarding officer who hauled down the Dixie's flag. The Commander of the Keystone State gave him permission to retain emblem, which has been one of the treasured relics in the family since — that Ume. . i _ Captain Hand is. still remembered by the older newspaper editors of Philadelphia as the most noted and reliable seaside -correspondent of his" time on the New Jersey coast There was crowded into his life a aeries at the most thrilling romances. At twenty-one he was a master in

the merchant marine. Throughout ! the civil war he served as an officer i in the navy. During the New York draft riots of that time he was in charge of the turret division of the 'monitor Passiac anchored in New York harbor. ' Just prior to the war he was ar- i rested in Mobile, Ala., on a charge of ! carrying off negro slaves and liberal- ■ ing them in the north. He was acquitted of what was a crime, in that day, in the south. LEGION WINS MORE GAMES LOCAL CAGE STARS DEFEAT OCEAN CITY AND WILDWOOD, GIVING THEM A CLAlrfttN THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOUTH JERSEY The Cape May American Legion Basket Ball Team has two more victories to add to its list this season.

ANOTHER ASSET In last week's Star and Wave we i enumerated a list of Cape May's as- . sets. However we left out one of . the most important and it is the num- > ber of Cape May boys and girls who are attending college. One of the - greatest assets any community can , have is a large number of college . trained men and women. For its size we do not believe any city in the( United States sends more boys and j . girls to college than Cape May. Cape > May, though only a city, of three i thousand, has between thirty and J forty boys and girls in college at the 1 present time. ) Anothe thing of which the citizens - of Cape May may be justly proud is [ the fact that these graduates of our high school are making good in their various colleges. In college they are ) working side by side with graduates j from high schools containing twelve ) and fourteen hundred students and the ^ Cape May boys and girls are doing > just as well, and in some cases better j than the graduates of these large city -} high schools. This shows better than anything 5 else the thoroughness and efficiency of our local schools. The writer of j this article is a Cape May High School graduate and is now attending col- * lege and he feels that the preparation , given him in our high school is such that he can compete on an equal basis

with graduate* from any high school private preparatory school in the The Board at Education and the of the Cape May schools are\' deserving of the highest praise for the 1 I plane to which they have raised the 1 school system in the city.
