CAPE MAY Is STIRRING.
The Season VIII Open Earlier Than Usual
The Harrisons Coming.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
CAPE MAY, May 93.-Although early in the
season this ancient.and renowned resort is
already preparing for an opening which will
take place month earlier than usual. In
years heretofore the large hotels, such as
Congress Hall and the Stockton have not
opened until about the 2Sth and 30th of
June, but this season all the houses will be
open on the 9th of June, and thus make the
season that much longer and much more
profitable.
The reason for the early opening is the
assembling of two very large conventions
here on the 9th and 18th of June, each
one lasting about q week. The Master
Car Builders Association of the United
States will assemble on the 9th at the Stock
ton Hotel, and in the week following the
Master Railroad Mechanics will hold their
to l2, 600 persons will be here, including the
delegates and their wives and sweethearts.
The rumor of the first of the week that the
Presidential cottage had been sold was
promptly denied to an Associated Press re-
porter at the White House by Mrs. Harrison,
and in her denial she also stated that the
fap. ly would probably start for the Cape
and occupy the cottage about the first week
IN June. The cottage is being put in
thorough order, and heaters have been
added to it for the use of the family, should
cool seasons of the late spring or early fall.
The steward of the White House is expected
daily to make the final preparations for the
coming of the family.
During the winter great Improvements
have been made in the hotels in the way of
additions and renovations. A large number
of cottages have been erected, as well as
pretty pavilions on the beach strand for the
use OF excursionists and other visitors. The
citizens will vote next Tuesday on the ques.
tion of allowing the bonded indebtness of
the city to be increased $1,000 more in order
that the money may be expended on i'm
provementS, There is great diversity of
opinion.
As yet but one or two cottages have been
rented to Pittsburgers, but several suites of
rooms have been engaged for the summer at
leading hotels by prominent citizens of
Pittsburg.- A contract has been signed by
the Philadelphia and Seashore Railroad with
Messrs; Hobard & Co, of New York, to com,
500 men are reported to be. working on the
road now. The roadbcd is graded and the
ties distributed, and a vast majority of them
laid to within three miles of the city. The
management has been suffering from litiga-
tion for over year, which has retarded the
completion of the road. It win be fed by the
Reading system. The Pennsylvania system,
however, gives the Cape excellent service.

Bicycle riders are watching with in
terest the attempts Of certain ingenious
men to manufacture wheels out of
aluminium. The wonderful metals use
has already proved beneficial when it is
allowed with steel, but thus far no
wheels have been made of it wholly.
As it is stronger and a great deal
lighter than steel, and will not corrode,
its advantage over steel is very appar-
ent. A steel racing wheel now weighs
twenty-four pounds If aluminium
proves practicable, a racing wheel can
be made that will weigh only about
eight or nine pounds.

SWAP SHOTS AT THE DEVIL.

THE devil feels proud of the man who
Joins the church to make money.
THE man who belongs altogether to
the devil is generally the last to find it
out.
THE devil never gets chance to loaf
in neighborhood where good man
lives.
THE devil has to work extra hard to
get hold of the children who have good
mothers.
EVERY time sermon is heard with
out repentance the devil gives his fire
another stir.
THE devil probably finds good deal
of satisfaction in watching the woman
who loves to talk about her neighbors
THE man who simply wants to be
good enough to get to Heaven is not
q man that the devil wastes any pow
der on.
THE devil is not much afraid of the
preacher who measures a service to God
by the amount of money in it for him
self
IT isn't likely that the devil feels
much out of place in the company of a
man who doesn't pay for his news
paper.
AS SOON as church members begin to
give more money for missions than they
do for cigars and tobacco the devil will
begin to feel uneasy.
