THE W. C. T. U. The Convention Held in Ocean City--The Exercises Replete With Interest Mrs. Lathrop, of Michigan, Makes a Stirring Address. The Semi-annual Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Cape May county was held in the First M. E. Church, this place, April 26, 1893. The delegates were met at the depot on the arrival of the morning train and escorted to the Illinois House, where entertainment had been provided for them by the local union. As the noontide hour approached, the parlor of the Illinois became the sanctuary where each one present joined Mrs. E. Steelman in petitioning a Throne of Grace for wisdom and strength to carry on the work before them. The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock p. m., the county president, Mrs. E. D. Hand, presiding. After singing the hymn "Rock of Ages," they were led in prayer by Mrs. Ludlam Hand. In the absence of the secretary Miss Jennie Wales, of Cape May City, was appointed secretary, pro tem. At roll call six superintendents and five officers responded. The President appointed as a Committee on Courtesy, Miss Emma Corson. Committee on Credentials, Miss Alice Canfield. Committee on Resolutions, Mrs. Ludlam Hand, Mrs. George Ogden, Miss Ann Champion, Miss Flick and Mrs. D. W. Bartine. The address of welcome was made by the local president, Miss A. W. Canfield, and was appropriate and impressive. The Rev. G. T. Harris, pastor of the M. E. Church at Dennisville, responded in a few well-chosen words. Mrs. Ogden read a very interesting

article written by Mrs. Mary Hunt on Scientific Temperance Instruction in Schools, followed by the discussion of the question, "What are we doing as a Union to create temperance sentiment in the community?" which was opened by Miss Ann Champion, of Tuckahoe, who was followed by other delegates in an earnest and spirited manner. A paper on Flower Mission work, written by the County Superintendent of Flower Missions, read by Miss Emma Corson, of Ocean City, was beautiful in thought and expression. Bible reading and devotion was conducted by Mrs. Ludlam Hand. After reports by the committee, there was a final reading of the minutes by Miss Wales, which closed the afternoon session. The evening session was opened by devotional exercises conducted by Miss Lydia Flick, of Dennisville. The Resolution Committee reported, and the resolutions were adopted as read. The resolution denouncing the race-track bill was particularly appropriate. Rev. W. A. Massey introduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Mary T. Lathrop, State President of the Michi-

gan W. C. T. U., who made a compre-

hensive address on the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. At the close of the lecture a rising vote of thanks was given the speaker. Much credit is due the improvised choir for the delightful music rendered. The selections were particularly well adapted to the occasion. The church was tastefully decorated with bunting, mottos and flowers.

Rev. G. T. Harris closed the conven-

tion with the benediction. Tendered His Resignation. The news that William H. Elwell, the West Jersey Railroad Station Agent at Ocean City, has tendered the resignation of his position will undoubtedly surprise his many friends. Mr. Elwell, by his uniform courtesy, genial manners and gentlemanly bearing, has gathered around him a large circle of friends in this community since his advent among us, and that the gentleman should have found it necessary to sever his relations with the company has caused expressions of deep regret on all sides and particularly among the business men. We would deem it wisdom upon the part of the company, if possible, to induce Mr. Elwell to reconsider his action and remain, as he has given every evidence of being a painstaking, faithful servant, and withal an obliging, courteous official whose main aim seemed to be the utmost accommodation of the road's patrons within the bounds of the strict letter of the law governing his official conduct. If Mr. Elwell's action is irrevocable, he will go out from our midst followed by the best wishes of all for his future

welfare wherever his lot may be cast. Severe Accident. Mrs. A. D. Sharp, of Asbury avenue, near First street, met with an accident on Tuesday which might have resulted seriously. While handling a pot containing wood stain the lady lost her balance spilling the contents of the vessel over her face and clothing. Mrs. Sharps' eyes were fortunately protected by her glasses, and to this fact she can attribute the salvation of her eyesight. Her clothing was ruined. A Correction. MR. EDITOR: I wish to correct an item published in your paper of last week in regard to the Bellevue House being rented through the agency of Robert Fisher. Mr. Carhart was the gentleman who took me to the Bellevue and advised me to rent it. He is the only agent I'm acquainted with in your city. Strange to say, I never saw, met or heard of Mr. Fisher while there. MRS. L. M. RUTTER. The spontaneity with which our

property holders are adopting flag pave-

ments and curbing is the best endorsement that can be given this improved footway. Now, then, turn in and make it universal in our town. See advertise-

ment.

At 5 o'clock Saturday evening Mrs. Smith was taken seriously ill, when Lewis H. Smith was summoned to go to Linwood for a doctor, there being two practitioners at that place, but the services of neither could be obtained, both of them being sick. On the messenger's return, other parties started for May's Landing and secured the services of Dr. James, who arrived at the sick woman's bedside about midnight and found Mrs. Smith in a dying condition. In half an hour after the doctor's arrival she breathed her last. This is a pitiful case. Deceased was only 33 years of age, and leaves a husband and six children, two of them quite small. The family has the sympathy of the entire community. The funeral services were held Tuesday, 25th ult., at this place in the Asbury M. E. Church. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. F. A.

with vigor."

Mrs. Susan Folwell, of this city, is beginning to discover that keeping a dog that has an aversion to collectors is an expensive luxury. At the December term of Court Mrs. Folwell was mulcted in the sum of $400 for injuries inflicted by the canine to Harry R. Conover, an insurance collector. Mrs. Folwell kept

the dog, however, and has now been

made the defendant in a suit for $1000 damages brought by Charles E. Mark-

ley. The plaintiff alleges that when he called at the Folwell residence on business he was attacked by the dog and badly bitten about the leg. Vice Chancellor Green has rendered a decision in the Kerns insanity case, in which he confirms the validity of the marriage of Rachel Johnson, of Millville, to Harry Kerns, of this city.

The estate is valued at $15,000. Bishop Scarborough, of the Diocese of New Jersey, Thursday last laid the corner-stone of the new Protestant Episcopal Church of the Ascension with appropriate ceremonies.

The new structure is expected to be completed by June 1st, and will have a seating capacity of 950. A 75-foot tower, on the southeast corner, will be used to hold a chime of bells. The building will cost

$15,000.

The funeral of Miss Ella Malatesta, who met her death by the runaway accident on the 23d ult., took place Thursday last from the residence of her brother-in-law, Captain James Carmack, 410 South Ninth street, Philadelphia. There were many floral tributes from friends of the deceased, and the body was viewed by a large number of relatives and acquaintances. The services were at the Church of St. Mary Magdalen de Pazzi, where solemn requiem mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Isoleri, and the interment took place at Holy Cross Cemetery. The pall-bearers were Captain C. T. Kensil, George H. Leaf, J. H. McCann, Walter Carroll, Jr., R. Longstreth and J. Donatti.

Atlantic City's Improvements.

The paving of Atlantic City's many avenues is a subject that is at present attracting considerable attention from the citizens of that town. For several years past the city has comparatively kept step with the onward march of improvement, save in this one important branch. In this year's appropriation ordinance for the paving of the streets there is a sum amounting to $18,000 set aside, an amount entirely inadequate with that

required for the work proposed. About one-half of the expense of paving Atlantic avenue, the main business street, it is supposed, will be borne by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who virtually have control of the Thorough-

fare, and a committee of prominent citizens has been appointed to confer with the officials of the road relative to the paving of the avenue. A sufficient amount could easily be secured in order to proceed at once with the work by bonding the city to the amount of about $200,000, property assessed at $11,000,000 being present to back the indebtedness incurred thereby.

The miserable condition of most of the streets during the prevalence of bad weather has been the subject of much unfavorable comment on the part of the visiting public, and as the main object of the local business man is to

cater to the wants of this class there is not much doubt but that any cause for complaint in the shape of muddy streets

will be remedied by the opening of the summer season. What will doubtless take rank among the handsomest hotels here when finished is the Dennis. During years past

the house became so favorably known among visitors that the accommodations proved to be inadequate, and last

autumn Mr. Borton commenced the entire reconstruction of the house. About $65,000 will have been spent in improvements by the time of opening, the latter part of May. The rear wing has been removed to the other side of the house, the two wings now being connected by an en-

tirely new portion, increasing the sleep-

ing rooms to about 240. Honored by the Sons of Temperance.

Henry B. Howell, of Trenton, grand secretary of the Sons of Temperance of

New Jersey, has been presented by the members of the order with a handsome engrossed testimonial, which expresses

the gratitude of the order to him for

his long services as keeper of the minutes. Mr. Howell is now an old man of 70 years. He began his duties as a grand division officer before he was of age and has continued in service for half a century, being the oldest officer in continued service of any grand body in the State. Formal presentation of this testimonial took place on Wednesday of last

week at Summit, where there was a

quarterly meeting of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance of New Jersey. The event brought together a large number of workers in the order. The testimonial is now hanging in Mr. Howell's parlor on Front street, Trenton. Mr. Howell is a director of the Ocean City Association and has a cottage on Wesley avenue, north of Fifth street,

this city.
