PLAN EXCLUSIVE RESORT.

George J. Gould, Henry c. Frick, and
other capitalists in New York city,
Philadelphia, and Pittsburg, propose
establishing new and exclusive sum-
mer resort on Two Mile Beach island,
which is three miles north Of Cape May
City on the New Jersey coast. The
state ii parian board will meet tom or
row in Jersey City, and the syndicate
behind the project will apply for
riparian rights in 71A miles of water
front surrounding Two Mile Beach.
1t is confidently expected that the
commission will grant the syndicate's
application, and the work of trans
forming the island to resort will be
begun at once. An artificial harbor
will be made for the use of private
yachts; boulevards and avenues will
be laid out, and system of drainage
established.
The cost of erecting hotels and max
ing other improvements is estimated
at 100000. Cottages, each costing
from $4,000 to $4,000, will be built.
The island has an ocean and inlet 'front.'

MARCONI SEES FINAL GOAL,
The Wireless Telegraph Wizard De.
clares Transatlantic Tests En-
tirely satisfactory.

Signor Marconi admitted the other
night that the wireless tests between
the Italian cruiser Carlo Alberto and
his station at Poldhu, England, were
entirely satisfactory. He said that
messages were successfully trans
mitted and received on the cruiser
while she lay in Sydney harbor here
with the Cornwall station. The mes
sages were in the Morse code and were
complete in every particular, being a
great advance over the single letter
IS" which was received last year at
st. Johns, N. T. Several messages
were received, and Signor Marconi
promises to ann ounce the text of them
in few days. Meanwhile work on the
station here is being rapidly pushed.
AS soon as additional material is re-
ceived from Montreal and Ottawa
much longer tests will be attempted.
The apparatus has already been tested,
and the inventor says he is satisfied
with it.. Signor Marconi expects to
leave for Boston in the Carlo Alberto
before Christmas. While in Boston he
will test the Cape Cod station He will
also visit New York.

MEN AND GIRLS AT WAR.
Wahoo, Neb.. Youths Agree Not to
Take Women to Theaters and
Trouble Is the Result.

War is being waged at Wahoo, Neb.,
between the young men and young
women of the town. The trouble was
started a month ago when the young
men formed club and pledged them
selves not to take the young women
to theater or to any place where an
admission was charged. Admission
free" was the motto of this new soci-
ETY., and it met with a huge success for
two weeks.
During that period the young men
sat on one side of the theater and the
young women on the other, frowning,
but defiant. Then the young women
formed a society and adopted adver-
Using as the method by which the
young men of WahoO should be van
quished. The committee had 1000 neat
little circulars printed stating the con-
dition of affairs in the place, and each
girl mailed three or four to her friends
in the neighboring towns. The Sun
day following there was an army of
strange faces IN Wahoo.
Many Wahoo young man felt sorry
and wanted to declare peace. Others
suggested boycotting the places of en-
tertainment and refreshment patron
lied by the outsiders and the home
girls. No definite action has been
taken, and unless arbitrat ton is used
there is little hope for an end.

An automobile stopped the other

ment, Issues Code for Aid Of
Future Magnates.

After 40 years experience in the
strenuous life of Wall street, and all
that time a factor in it's exciting
scenes, Deacon Stephen Van Cuten
White, on the eve of his retirement
from the active stage, has summar-
lied for the future magnates of the

follows: BIB @
1. Live up to the letter of your
promises, verbal or written, though

traders of old, and that operations
henceforth must be conducted with
a due regard to changed conditions
3. Success in Wall street, as in all
other business, can be achieved only
by literal hard work in keeping
abreast of the era, and keen percep-
ton of the psychological moment t.
take profit or suffer a loss.
4. Make your word as good as your
bond, and be as swift as the swiftest
in greeting opportunity when it
knocks or evading disaster when it
casts a shadow.
5. Remember how swift is the pace
and don't enter long distance COM

dashes only.

DRUG HABIT GROWING.
Sensational Report Made by tho In
terdcnOmin ationAl Committee for
Suppression of the Vice.

According to report just issued
by the nterdenominational commit
tee for the suppression of drug addic-
ton, the spread Of the drug habit is
increasing at an alarming rate in this
country. 1t is asserted that there are
more than 100000 morphine tends"
in the United States, and that one per-
son in every hundred is addi' tea to
drugs.
The vice is most prevalent among
the wealthy classes and among ply
sicians. Many of the latter. who have
become victims of drugs, have be-
come outcaSts. Numbers of them have
been reclaimed by the committee and
put on their feet again. S.
Doctors are blamed for the spread
of the drug habit for prescribing
drugs to alleviate pain their patients
often becoming "fends.' ..
The offices of the committee are in
the Presbyterian building, 15o Fifth
avenue, New York city. Rev. r. f.
Sample, D. D., LII. D., former mod
orator of the general assembly, is
president. "While the foreign field
needs all possible attention, unfor-
tunately the demands of our country
are little short of startling,' says the
report.
\ plea is made for sanitarium for
victims of the drug abit. "There are
shelters for drunkards, former con-
victs, and fallen women, but none for
these victims of drugs. Public spirit
ed men and women seeking to become
public benefactors could do no better
than endow hospital for these I'M
