A rousing old-fashioned clam bake
was given in Anglesea on last Wednes-
day afternoon by DIR. Munyon. 1t is re-
ported that DR.. Munyon has deferred
giving another bake until October, 1905.
Then he does not intend to get any red
peppers and vinegar. 1t seems that
what was supposed to be vinegar was
mixed with the CLAIMS but by its effect
upon the eaters of the clans it has since
been decided that spirits of fermenti
were used by mistake. On Saturday
the doctor started OF a new undertake
ing. He is going to embark in the
business of selling herbs and patent
medicines combined with his old aunt's
healing salve. He takes Marshal
Frith's grandest team on his tour and
we feel sorry for the other boys who
will miss him badly.

TAKEN TO COURT

An action on contract was heard be-
fore Squire John Bright OF Sept. 18th,
between Frank p. Rudolph, plaintiff,
and Joseph n. Costill, defendant, both
of Wildwood, in which judgement was
entered against Mr.. Costill for Sl46.73
The defendant is a contractor and er-
ected Mr.. Rudolph's store building and
the trouble grew out of this action, Mr..
Rudolph showing that he advanced
money to workingmen on Mr.. Costlll's
order which Mr.. Costill refused to allow
al time of settlement. Lawyer Curtis
T. Baker represented Mr.. Rudolph and
Lawyer Lewellyn Hildreth represented
Mr.. Costill. The latter through attor-
ney Hildreth, has given notice of an
appeal from the decision of the Justice
TO the next term of the court OF Com
mon Pleas of Cape May county.

The Neck Hair.

The scolding locks at the back of
the neck are beauty's greatest orna-
ment if the pretty woman only under
stands how to utilize them. If the hair
does not grow prettily at the back of
the neck, try to train the locks down
SO thai they will curl. If this cannot
be done, then use a few artificial curls.
Maybe the hair grows so wickedly at
the back of the neck that the artificial
curls cannot be used with good re-
suits. and in this case there is nothing
to do but to dress the hair low. The
woman who wants to please will sure
" not neglect to make a study OF her
hairdressing.

The Ottens Tract F1ourishing Like
a Green Bay Tree.

The Ottens Tract No. 2 is probably
now one of the busiest spots on the
island; a venerable hive of industry.
The rapid and almost magic transfer
nation taking place in this tract is not
only a topic of interest to those interes-
ted in the island but a cause for Won
derment. Here lots are continually
being filled in, cement walks constrnc-
ted and houses in the course of erection
on every side. TwentysiX cottages are to
be erected on this tract before June 1st,
1905. Without a doubt this tract will
present the appearance of a thriving
resort by the time the next summer
season is in full swing.

river to Washington, ID. c., by way of
the Weems Steamship line.
We boarded the Northumberland
on a Thursday evening, a handsome
II comfortable steamer carrying pas
sengers, freight and L. S. Mail. This
trip proved to be of continuous charm,
In fact the finest part of our entire ex-
cursion. We left the Baltimore docks
at five O'Clock in the afternoon and
soon were steamlng down the beautiful
Chesapeake, and were fortunate enough
to see the setting of the sun, an indies
cribable sight. The boat made no stops
until the Potomac river was reached,
after nearly "a days travel.
SO attractive was the scenery and so
grand were the sights in the mellow
moonlight that one member of the
party forgot to seek his berth for sleep
and instead kept watch throughout
the night that no interesting sight
might slip by without his notice.
The numerous landings along the
Potomac and inf1owing rivers were
touched by our steamer. This section
of the country has no other means of
communication with the outside world,
there being no railroads for many miles
inland.
AT each landing a goodly sized crowd
of towns people, mostly colored gener-
ally were at the wharf to see the I'M
loading of passengers and freight from
the steamer. Quantities of fertilizer,
oil and flour were unloaded while
watermelons and sheep seemed to be
the principal exchange cargo.
A novel sight to the northmen was
the old fashioned oxen carts which we
saw in large numbers at the different
landings in Virginia. On one occasion
we saw a double yoke ofoXen laborious-
ly pulling a load of fertilizer up steep
hill on a two wheel cart. Suddenly
the cart pole gave way and the oxen
lunged forward while the load of ferti-
lizer started backwards at a great rate
updumping at the foot of the hill. AL
though the colored driver could not be
heard, by his f1ourishing arms and
excited gestures we could easily i'm
imagine the language he was using.
The scenery was grand, beyond my
power TO describe, and the zig gag route
in and out of the many small rivers Of
this section was of never ending inter
est.
Up, up, the river we went unit
finally at five o'clock Saturday morn.
ing after nearly two days travelling we
were landed in the capital of the
United S~tates-Washington. Here WI
spent some time visiting the various
government buildings and seeing hun
dreds of sights toe numerous to mention
without firing the patient reader.
We returned to Baltimore by way O
the B. & O. vestibuled trains and from
there again boarded an Ericsson line
steamer for Philadelphia, tired and eye
sore from so many sights and travels
but proud and happy over our trip
thoughts of which will linger in oul
minds for many years to come.

Household Pencils.

A well equipped household should
not be without a proper supply OF pen
ellis. To hurry around after Il pencil
when you have only a moment to
a is, to say the least, yeXatious.
The careful housewife sees that small
pencils are left in places where they
will be of the most use. Keep II in
the kitchen drawer, one in the drawer
with cards and other games and a tiny
one in the card receiver, so that Il
caller may, if she wishes, write a mes
sage on her card should the hostess be
away. OF course the wise woman al
ways carries a pencil in her purse or
handbag.

the things that belonged 70 her.
took her three children and packed
the whole thing into an express
wagon and left for parts unknown.
Bevins and his second wife have
only been married six months. Both
have been married before and have
children.
The children on the fathers side
objected strongly 10 his marrying
a second time. and Il is thought
they had something 20 do with his
wife leaving on such short notice.
Until late this afternoon the woman
and her children have not been
heard from. but. as they did not
have very much money. II is not
thought that they have left the city.
Neighbors nearby say they saw
her loading the furniture into an
express wagon shortly after Bevins
had gone to work.
