With the Ocean City ChambcY of| p Commerce at the helm, directing t operations, and throwing into the s movement the weight of its prestige |t and influence, the materialization ofjs a lung cherished hope, is merely alh Virtually the hench front hotels is a an accomplished fact. It stands fac-jt ii.g the broad expanse of the ocean, a;" -tructure of magnificent proportions ; e ami architectural aplendor, ready for ® the advent of a small colony of d •With a body of men, wiujhare dem- » onstrated their business awicn, and executive abilities, in a /fore of other successes, besides that c«f conducting ' their own private concerns, in accord a with the most highly specialized busi- b nc.-s methods, with such men behind o tin- project, it cannot fail. a At the special session held by the * Chamber of Commerce on Friday" eve- f ning. this was made unmistakably r plain. The exuberant enthusiasm s which soon 'dies away, was conspicious t by its absence, and in its place was a 1 calm deliberate determination, to car- -v ry the project to a triumphant issue. f The special session, had been called t expressly to receive the report from the committee, appointed to confer i with Mr. Stoll, the rice president, and < representative of the Hockenbury sysThe report, at the reqqest of the,' chairman of the committee, was pre- 1 1 .nted by W. E. Massey. j« Mr. Massey prefaced the report by saving Ocean City stood today, upon ' the question of a beach-front hotel, at 1 the crossroa()a. One of two altema- - ' lives lay open, either to determine the [ c hotel should become a fact, or forever; dismiss the thought out of mind. Mr. ; ' Massey did not believe that any pri- j J vnte individual, or corporation, would j come in and erect a hotel; it therefore: remained for the dtitens of the com- ; ' m unity to help themselves. That the hotel as a necessity nonecould deny, perhaps a greater neces- j ity than some other things the pub- 1 lie was demanding. It would be ofi' inestimable value at the present per- j ! i«l, when Ocean City was experienc-;1 rag the greatest boom ever in its. his-1 The committee had been in confer- ; once with Mr. Stoll, and confidently i recommended to, the Chamber of Commerce, the advisability of securing the i assistance of the Hockenbury system i ' - carry out the project. Mr. Massey then read a number of - -legrams, received by Ralph £hester, mm different centers where they had is-cn ojie rating, highly recommending the Hockenbury system. i Following the report, the president,!) K. M. Sutton called upon Mr. Stoll to; address the meeting. The two points of paramount irn- : , imrtance to present before the public, j j aid Mr. Stoll, were firstly, that there ; was a civic ifeed of a boaeh-front | hotel, and secondly, that the erection j i and the- establishment of such hotel | ; would be a good investment. The ; i -pcaker felt certain, that once the . people of the city were thoroughly t , convinced upon these two questions, 1 : lhat a large well built and equipped; hotel would be an asset to the city of ■ incalculable value, and morevcr, that i 'he enterprise could be made a source > f reasonable returns to the stockholders, the people would respond to the call. The extent of the venture, that is the size and cost of the hotel, would , ( of course, be determined by " the ; ( amount nf money availably. Concerning the Hockeafcurv system, the first thing they did, said Mr. Stoll was to make a thorough and exhaus- ! . live survey of the community, before': ihey pledged themselves to the under- 1 taking; for the Hockenbury system , hnl never yet been identified with a failure. The points upon which they ' "uld require to be satisfied are, was there sufficient money available in the ; - rtituency for the hotel, were the

[people really pursuaded and sold to| the project, and finally, were there | sufficiently large number of men in I ; the constituency, prepared to devdtc | some little of their time to get a | If the survey proved satisfactory, and the Hockenbury system undertook ' j the task of rinsing the capital, forth- 1 [with they would begin a campaign of; • education. Every home in the city,' i every family in the city, and every in- j [dividual, would be made to talk hotel, and feel that the hotel was the one - great need of the city, to make certain its future development and growth. The hotel would tie made the burn- 1 - ing question of the hour. Newspaper: articles and editorials, pamphlets and l prospectuses and various' other forms of advertising would be adopted. Having thus stimulated, and informed public sentiment, when the - psycholigical moment came, the entire i scheme would be put over in as brief ; time ah possible. This was essential, i project should not lie allowed to . stagnate for a second; for in that, the . scheme might die beyond rcsuscitaI tion. i A committee would then be orgaiy • fv the disposal of the larger bulk I of the Stock. It became evident that the members of the Chamber of Commerce present, -'and who had heard Mr. Stoll's frank . ; anil ■ lucid exposition of their system ' and its methods of operation, were . . strongly in favor of its adoption. Sev- , eral questions were asked, all of which , wore satisfactorily answered, and se'v- . ; era! members took part in the general , discussion. The president, fir. Sutton, then re- ; quested that the matter lie put to a [ vote. As he had stated, the committee jihad gone exhaustively into the ques- . tion, and they had heard Mr. Sloll. He I felt the Chamber of Commerce should I go on record accepting the report of . 1 the committee, and authorizing them [ I to enter into an agreement with the [ Hockenbury system. This was done. C and since, a representative is -on the ; . fielil making Hie necessary prelim- . : inary survey. ATGLEN HOTEL 0. H.

The chief guest and speaker of the occa- * sion, as His Excellency, Sao-Kc-j. Alfred-Szc, Envoy Plenipotentiary and k Minister Extraordinary, of .China to n America. e Selecting for his subject, "China'sT Progress since the Republic." His JExh eelleocy delivered an epochal exmjsi'j tion of the phenomenal progress, the 11 Chinese nation has made since the dethronement of the old monarchial regime, and the establishment of democratic government. In very truth ,p China is passing through the' travail and throes of new berth. The avidity with which the china'i'nian is embracing the advantages of " modem education, and the very rapid m growth of the Christian religion in ie China, should give cause for a searchp' ing self-examination and thought. »! Much is frequently heard and read of the "Yellow Peril," the pet topic of political and journalistic panicmongers. The yellow peril of today, is assumfiig a far different form and ie aspect from that of a decade ago. d. The peril today, is not that of a ■n «iid semi-savage of the old-time boxis er type. China stands today before ie the world a nation numbering 500 millions, hungry for education and ic culture, industrious and thrifty, reie markablc law-abiding .eager to adopt c! j all the advantages, and astutely tryi.i I ing to a\;oid all the evils, of modern y- religion and civilization. ! It behoves the Anglo-Saxon race, if s- : it would retain its prestige ami world ic ' supremacy, to abandon its lust for : |y i frivolity, pleasure and luxury, and re- j el turn to the customs and pursuits, I which has. won fo* -dt the sovereignty, itvi among the nations, it now exercises, i>- i but may not long hold. |y I His Excellency's pronouncement s- 1 was a revelation to all who heard, ■d Rev. Joseph Fort Newton D. Litt, st ' D. D.. of New York, addressed the ns- : sembly on the subject, "Making a Bet:h | ler America." kI !

PO RATION PREPARES TO DO nP BUSINESS ON BASIS OF METROPOLITAN PRICES ; The 'South Jersey Furniture Cor-, poration, has opened for business at 725 and 729 Asbury avenue. Ths opening on Saturday was an aupicious i event, presaging an extensive business patronage for the company in Ocean A fine array of rtlmiture, in various | styles and periods, was on exhibition,; and prices compared favorably with! those of large flrmr in our", larger; i cities. This in fact, the firm aspires to accomplish, to keep a complete stock on i hand purchasable at metropolitan prices. ■ .

TELEPHONE COMPANY GIVE DEMATION INTERESTING TALKS INSTRUCTIVE HINTS : HISTORY OF A CALL FROM RECEIVING OFFICE TO DESTINA- [' TION EXPLAINED The history of a telephone call, from the receiving office to its desj tination, was strikingly illustrated and [ and lucidly explained, Monday cveI ning at the assembly room of the ! Hann Building. The demonstration, given by the of- ■ ficials and operators of the Delaware i and Atlantic Telephone Company, 1 should have been witnessed by every ! person renting, or having occasionally I [ to use the 'phone. | The complete saencasof the switchboard was made plain, and the causeof friction which occasionally arise , between the operator ami a patron, and the blunders which most commonly occur, were all made explicitly clear. Truth to confess, after witnessing the demonstration, in cases of misunderstanding, and possible complaint. : in the future the benefit of the doubt • | will go to the operator. Certainly it I i may be safely said, that never before I I it realized so forcefully, what an i j affair is the giving and the ■ receiving of a call. The mechanical apparatus is so per- - fectly and ingeniously constructed, s vefv seldom is it possible for an oper- ■ i ator to make an error. Errors, of - course, do arise, and invariably it was i brought home .to roo3t with the user > and seldom with the operator. Nor was it realized, as at the dems onstration, what an ardous, ncrve-ex- - hausting task, is that of the operator. - It involves a most careful training, - and an extensive knowledge, of the • mechanism of a telephone switch - 1 board. The demonstration being sponsored 1 by the Young Men's Progressive I League, the president, Elmer Jackson Pearl, briefly explained the circum- - stances under which the League bef came identified with the affair, and I then handed the meeting over to the| u district manager, W. W. Brittan. The major purpose of die demonstration, Mr. Brittan explained, was d to improve the telepbe.ie service, c This could only be done by learning ; the grievances of the public, and in- '. forming the public of the errors, uud wittingly committed, which if removed would inevitably result in more efficient service. ;- As a fitting instruction to the deme onstration, Mr. Brittan gave an in0 tcresting resume of the history of the d telephone, from the day of discovery '- until the present time, the lecture ilt lustralcd by a series of lantern slides. The circumstances which led Dr. n Graham Bell to invent the telephone, are peculiarly instructive. The idea f came to the discoverer, while engaged •I in teaching the deaf and dumb to com- { r ' municate one with another by means , i- of the lip sign method. ', In the year 1776 Dr. Bell secured y patent rights, and from that hour the '• ' telephone has advanced from one de- , gree of perfection to another, until t at present it seems as if the "height '• of scientific and inventive skill had L : been reached. The first telephone constructed was shown on the screen, a crude cumbrous affair, that bore some resemblance to y i an old time gallows, d Following the series of lantern >•' slides, Mr. Patcrson gave an interest- '• ' ing description of the mechanical end [of telephonic operations. In a word | Mr. Patterson, has apparently charge : of the ambulance corps of the tele- 1 iphone business, and the major part; I of his duties involve the repairing, ' not of limbs but of cables. He ex- ! ■ plained in detail some of the most ■ ( common causes of defection in service. . . I in one case, a workman boring down • | into the soil with a test tube searehJ I ing for a gas leakage, severed a 400 pair cabie, demoralizing completely for several hours, the entire hotel ' i- ' service in Atlantic City. The speaker also pointed out some1 of the pet sins of telephone patrons, which frequently cause defection of service. A very common offense is that of twisting, or bending to a sharp "" angle the chord, another is that of a(II lowing the chord to become wet. '• Water, he explained, caused corrosion ls of the fine wires, and invariably the 18 'phone failed to act. n Miss Rose Kelly, who undertook to explain the long distance call opera18 j tion, was an admirable speaker. Long distance calls, she explained, were h classified into four categories; station w to station, person to person, messenger calls and appointment cans, all e-iof which she described graphically. 10 One Instrument used by the long ,n distance operator is called the caleulograph. Frequently the patron is heard i- complaining of excessive charges made • on a long distance call. The calculograph makes such complaints impossible, for it registers automatically the 'y second the call is put through, and •r the second when the receiver U hung up. id Miss Mae Drain undertook to exi plain the work of a local operator. ,e;She demonstrated the mistakes so frequently made by the public, often >r | unconsciously, and incidently the ! grouch was mercilessly unmasked. e> At the close of Miss Drain's address, the young lady, with the asaistlaore «f B E, and A. M. Williams. K both associated with the commercial t- ; department, together with klies Kelly, n" staged a very amusing telephone co:oX'odjr sketch. Questions were invited '"'and replied to by the different mem'K j bers of the staff, ctj Mayor and Mrs. Joseph G. Chamii- ; pi on, are entertaining their daughter, I Mrs. Theo. C. Baker.
