The Storm at Wildwood Crest

The north-easter which blew for four
days steadily in the last week kicked
up a great sea and fierce surf and at
tracted hundreds of people from all
over the island to Wild wood Crest to
see what effectth the great breakers would
have on the long sea wall and bulk
head erected there by Baker Brothers,
the founders of the resort. The sea
wall proved itself a complete success,
for it took up and broke the force ofthe
rushing waves SO that the water barely
reached the base of the bulk-head and
instead of doing damage it deposited
thousands of tons of sand between the
wall and bulk-head. All interested are
to be congratulated on the perfection
of this sea front at the Crest.

Opinions d Am Observer

A week on Five Mile Beach has
opened my eyes as to the wonderful
possibilities of this island. From end to
end and from the ocean front to Sunset
Lake and the sounds n can see the
sure beginnings and foundation marks
of a great seaside resort. It has all the
natural features that go to makeupthe
qualifications of a place OF rest, health
and pleasure, and it is located within
reach of so many millions of people
who need what it can give, that its
patronage, beyond computation, is as
sured. The geographical centre of the
island is occupied by Wild wood proper,
giving to 1t an incalculable importance
so much 80 that 1t is clear there is not
a foot of its area that Will not attain
great value. The people who plotted
the town and have conducted its devel-
opment have shown in the results at
tanned a broad and keen comprehension
of what a modern seaside resort should
be. 1t is different from all other places
in that there is 10 part of the resort
that is not fiourishing. The area lying
between Sunset Lake and Park avenue
bids fair to become the finest of residen-
tial sections and Is. attracting the atten-
ton and enlisting the interest of the
best people. The middle, comprising
the space between Park and Atlantic
avenues, is the all-year business section
as we'll as the location of numerous
splendid houses and fine lawns, while
the ocean front, lying between Atlantic
avenue and the surf, presents an un-
equaled arena for the entertainment of
countless thousands of people. Such a
place as Wildwood is a great
boon to the busy toilers of the city and
country alike who can reach its refresh
ing beach; and with the constantly
improving facilities for speedy travel,
there is no estimating the comfort it
will dispense to the throngs of visitors
from the vast population within a
hundred miles of its doors. 1t is plain
to see the owners oflandon this charm
ed island are wise in their day and
generation.

WOODEN CHECKS.
I'aIlIes Were Used In England Until

TnIlIes Were Used In England Until
the Year 1874.
Wooden checks are the sort Of thing
one would expect to find used In China
Or Tibet, but, as a matter of fact. they
We're used in England from Thee earliest
tines down to as late as 1884.
Tallies, as they We're called. were
made out of q curved piece Of hazel,
notches being cut along the edges to
stand for a certain sum of money. The
tally WIS then sawed half through
below the lowest notch and the notch
ed part split into two pieces. IN both
Of which the notches appeared.
These pieces served as check and
counterfeit, the latter being always the
larger piece with the unnotched end
as a kind of handle. The smaller piece
was then taken by the payee, the larger
sent to the person on whom the check
was drawn, generally a collector Of
customs or other revenues, public OF
private. He would honor the check on
finding that the two pieces fitted and
had the amount credited to him by the
drawer on returning them together to
him. Thus were the great danger and
expense of transporting large sums OF
coin avoided.
Forgery of a tally was obviously I'm
possible unless a new counterfeit could
be substituted. and If stolen In the or
binary way 1t would be of little use to
the thief. for, unlike our checks, there
was nothing to show on whom It vas
drawn.
There are still a good many tallies In
existence, but the majority We're burn
ed In the great fire which destroyed the
old houses of parliament. The remain
der are chiefly to be found In the pub
lie record office and no doubt also In
the imminent rooms of great land
owners

n DIVINE NAME.

InefabIe Word That Is Never Used
by Many ~Israelites.
An eminent rabbi has given his view
Of the ancient Jewish rendering Of the
name Of the Deity. He says that the
term Jehovah" the ineffable terra
grammaton. is never pronounced by
many Israelites. They use the word
"Adonol," which signifies ''the Lord"
The translators Of the Bible followed
this custom, rendering the word "Jeho-
yah" as Lord" In ancient times the
Pharisees replaced the tetragramma-
ton by Shem. They used "Shemo."
which Is also Biblical, as the sacred
name, and this name Is yet retained
to some extent among the Jews. But
it would appear from passages In the
Psalms that Adonoi, or Lord, for Jeho-
yah was more ancient eve than the
times of the Pharisees. 1t thus occurs
eight times in Psalm lXxXiv. 1t also
appears In the book of Exodus, where
Jehovah" had been used IN the orig
lnaI Hebrew. This substitution would
seem to be older than any other, and
it is yet common among all Jews.
The rabbi says he has found that the
ancient t%ranslations testify In favor Of
"Adonoi.'
Looking at the English translation of
the Old Testament, 1t will be found
that the name Jehovah appears In the
books of Genesis. Exodus, Judges, the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not In the
New Testament

Political Mixup In Holly
Beach and Wildwood

The political situation of candidates
in reference to the primary election
next Tuesday, especially as to the
mayor of Holly Beach is certainly un-
usual and astonishing. The Mayor of
Holly Beach, who is a Democrat, has
filed not only a candidates. certificate
with the borough clerk as the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Democratic
primary; but has also filed another
certificate of candidacy as the Repub-
lican candidate for the Republican pri-
mary election. Which meal he is
running for mayor as a candidate on
both tickets. The mayor of Wild
wood, also a Democrat, has been in
dorsed by one faction of the Republic
al party, appearing in their petition,
as we'll as on the regular Democratic
pstition. The situation in Holly Beach
is this. The Mayor, who is likewise
the leader of the Democratic party IN
Holly Beach, is not only the candidate
of his own party, but has filed a petit
ton with the borough clerk announc-
ing himself as also a candidate for the
Republican party. And this too when
there is a candidate, a life long, staunch
Republican, whose certificate of can
didacy has been endorsed and signed
by Republican voters who have
chosen him from among their w
political party. The law of New Jer-
sey is very plain in regard to a candi-
dates certificate for primary elections.
1t says, "Not less than ten voters of
any political party may file with the
municipal clerk of their municipality
a petition endorsing any member of
their political party as a candidate for
the nomination of said party to public
office where such nomination is to be
made at the primary election 1t
distinctly says "endorsing any men,
Der of their political party" not of
another political party.
1t is therefore clearly illegal for
Republican voters to file a certificate
with the borough clerk endorsing a
Democrat as a candidate at a Repub-
lican primary election, or Democra-
tic voters endorsing a Republican.
Another and even more astounding
situation is this of a candidate for the
position of state senator who has taken
into his Republican fold and formed
an alliance with the Democratic leader
of Holly Beach. And not only has he
taken him into his Republican fold,
but has made him the treasurer of his
Republican faction.
Is is possible that in the Republican
party, which is largely in the majority
in the borough of Holly Beach, the
honorable ex-senator could not find
one Republican whom he would trust
with his campaign funds, and that he
must go outside of his own party, by
whom he expects to be elected, and
call in the leader of the Democratic
party as the M and only honest and
capable man whom he could safely
trust with campaign money. Surely
the Republicans of Holly Beach are
not held in high esteem by at least d
of of their senatorial candidates.
