MODERN new RAILROAD
STATION FOR WILDWOOD
DELIGHTFUL WEATHER ON SUNDAY
Enjoyed by Crowds of People on
the boardwalk. Some Hand
some Houses In Course of
Construction. A Lot OF
I Items of Interest

The West Jersey and Seashore Rail-
road Company, through its superinten-
dent, ID. H. Lowell, has announced the
purchase of a plot of land on Philadel-
phia avenue, between Wildwood and
Oak avenues, upon which a handsome
new passenger railway station will be
erected in time for next season's bust
ness. The heavy travel to Wildwood
this summer has amazed the railroad
officials and caused them to take i'm
mediate steps toward providing a sta
ton that will meet the present and
constantly growing demands of the
resort. Mr.. Lowell was here on Deco
ration day, on the Fourth of July and
on Thursday of last week when the
great trades league parade took place.
By personal observation he discovered
that the present station was totally in
adequate, and Immediately counter
manded the contract recently awarded
to Thomas Goslin for the erection of
the train shed and for which the lum-
Der is on the ground. 1t is reported
that the present station will be moved
to Wildwood Crest, the resort now be-
ing started below Holly Beach by
Baker Brothers, the founders of Wild
wood.

Great were the expressions of admi-
ration and delight expressed by the
thousands of pleasure seekers at this
popular re%sortduring Sunday last. The
grand beach and boardwalk were the
centres of attraction, and up and down
the splendid ocean promenade all the
day the visitors strolled and enjoyed
themselves immensely. The Saturday
express trains and the Sunday specials
brought thousands of visitors and adj
ded to the merriment of the gay throng.
The hotels and cottages have been all
season and still are taxed to their ut
most capacity, and bonifaces are cor
respondingly delighted. The weather
was simply delightful and the bathing
fine. Upwards of3,0 900 persons throng-
ed the beach and enjoyed a dip in the
ocean. The camera visitors were
numerous and caught catchy snap
shots galore. The bathers and board
walk strollers were treated to a novel
exhibition in the morning when an
attractive young woman, standing
erect on the shoulders of an athlete
who waded into the ocean, dived from
her position into a heavy breaker and
swan out to sea. The applause which
greeted the performance attested the
spectators delight.
Mrs. c. Cooper and daughter, of
Camden, who have been stopping at
Edgeton Inn for some time returned
home last week.

designated by Governor Warfield in
pursuance to the law. The, actual ad-
dition to the forest reserves of the
state from the trees planted on this
annually recurring occasion in incon-
siderable-in fact, it frequently is the
case that good little trees are taken up
from places where they might do well
aud planted in soil and locations
where they have no chance to become
anything but .stunted snags, but the
real benefit lies in the training given
to the men and women of tomorrow.
The love OF nature, including fond
ness for trees and birds, is instilIed
into minds which are in the formative
period. The great value of forests in
maintaining steady rainfall, the need
of fostering our timber and wood
supply and the services of the feather

insects which deyOur his crops are i'm
pressed with an attractive way upon
those who in a short time must take

OF the country or preside over khe
homes of the future. The program to
be carried out at the public school to-

Received Sad Message

Shortly after reaching his desk in
the office. of the freight depot at the
Short Line railroad station this morn
ing. Mr.. II. ID. Johnston, general
freight agent, heard the ticking of the
telegraph instrument, and went to his
desk to receive the message. The in
strument tieked off the sad message
that Mr.. Jolnston's father died at his
home at Warrenton, Va, at an early
hour this morning. The son, who re-
ceived the message, was terribly
shocked. His face turned an ashy hue,
his hands dropped to his sides, pow
erless and he was completely over
come.
Mr.. Johnston was not expecting his
fathers death and had no intimation
of his i'll health, and the blow was a
great shock. His mother, however, is
in poor health, having recently been
subjected to a surgical operation, and
news of her death would not have
been so sudden. Mr.. Johnston left for
his home at Warrenton on the next
train today on his sad mission. He
has the sympathy of many friends
here.

MYSTERIES EXPLAINED
In The Mid-Week Lenten Ser
mon at St. Anne's
Church.

The fifth and last of the mid week
lenten sermons at st. Anne's Church
by visiting clergymen, was preached
last night by the Rev. DIR. Lawrence
J.. Cole. president of Trinity School
for Boys. New York.
Preceding the sermon there was a
service of evening prayer, conducted
by the rector, the Rev. Joseph z. Nc
Comas. DR. Cole took his text from
the Gospel of st. Mark, fifth chapter
and eleventh verse, the first clause of
the verse: "Unto you it is given TO
know. the mystery of the Kingdom of
God. f." The preachers theme was
Mysteries. " He touched upon the
mysteries in nature, the mysteries of
the things that lie about us on every
side in this little world. for little
world, he said, il is indeed.
Some of us, he said, chafe against
limitations and are unwilling to per
NIT mysteries to remain so. The solv-
ing of mysteries has been the cause of
civilization, of the progression of the
world. Our forefathers helped TO
solve these mysteries. The ways of
the spiritual world are mysterious.
Religion is bound up in mystery.
There is the mystery of the incarna-
tion, the mystery of Baptism and the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.
We ordinarily think of mystery as
contrary to the laws of nature; some
thing out of the ordinary line; some
thing not analogous with common
things. Mystery means that which
man cannot possess except told him
by some one who had seen and heard.
Christ, the great High Priest, has
seen behind the veil, and knows
things as they really are. Mystery is
not such a terrible thing. but is a
part of Gods truth revealed to us, just
so much as it is necessary and best
for us to see and understand Mystery
is not a thing to be chafed at, but
something TO love. that which we ought
to use carefully and devoutly for Him
who has been revealed in us.
There was large congregation pres
ent, who enjoyed the sermon which
presented many new thoughts, food
for reflection. The vested choir led
the singing and the penitential service
was very solemn and impressive.

The sermon was preached by Father
Weigel, rector of the Redemptorist
Seminary at Leicester, who, after
rapidly summing up the topics of for
mer meditations on the Passion of
Our Lord, spoke of the Blessed Vir-
gin and the part she took in the life
and work of Her Divine Son. He re-
viewed her life from the moment OF
His Incarnation, dwelling particular.
ly upon her sorrowful life from the
day when Holy Simeon in the temple
prophesied that q 'sword of sorrow
should pierce Her own heart" until
unon that most awful day the world
has ever seen, she stood beneath the
cross of Her crucified Son, for three
mortal hours and earned her title
"Queen of Martyrs, and amid the
horrors of that day, as through al
her life, her perfect submission TO the
adorable will of God" Behold the
handmade of the Lord be it done unto
me according to thy word" gave neI
right to her titles, Queen of An
gels and "Queen of all Saints. =
With.the Benediction of the Mos
Blessed Sacrament the services were
closed. On Friday evening the Way
of the Cross will be made, as usual,
followed by Benediction.
