House Burned off Shore

The large house on the farm OF
Charles Glading on the seashore road
just above Rio Grande was burned to
the ground at three O'Clock on Monday
morning together with most of its con-
tents. The family had barely time to
escape with their lives. A small
quantity of furniture in the front room
of the house was carried out, but the
family lost all of their clothing. How
the fire started is a mystery, but it
originated in the rear of the building
where the hired man slept. The house
was insured for $500, with no insur-
ance on the furniture. The Glading
property adjoins the farm of DR.. James
NJ. Slaughter, of Wildwood. DIR.
Slaughter's farm is unoccupied. Mr..
Glading is known to our beach people
as running a vegetable wagon here.

Eleven Baptisms at the Baptist
Church. A Great Demand
For Summer Cottages
NOTES OF REAL INTEREST

The Wildwood Baptist church was
we'll filled at the regular morning SER
vice last Sunday to witness the baptism
of eleven persons from Rio Grande,
who were converted at the recent re-
vival held in unison by the Baptist and
Methodist churches of that place. The
candidates baptized, who drove yer
in carriages, were Burton Hand, Orila
Hand, Harold and May Hand,
youngest children of Mrs. James M.
Craner; Spice Harris and Nettie Har-
ris, children of Frederic Hand; Maria
Brown and Retta Brown, children of
John S. Brown; Addie Hand, Maggie
Jones and brother. Rev. Mr.. Zellers,
a graduate of Conwell's College, offici-
ated at the ceremonies, being assisted
by Rev. Borden, pastor of the Rio
Grande Baptist church; Rev. l.. Myers,
pastor of the Anglesea Baptist church,
and by Pastor Riddle, of the Wildwood
Baptist church. In the evening the
candidates were given the hand of fel-
lowship at the Rio Grande Baptist
church. The candidates and their
friends have requested the JOURNAL to
state that they greatly appreciate the
kindness of the Baptist people here.
The demand for cottages in Wild
wood is very great and they are rent
ing rapidly at advanced figures. Many
sales of cottage properties have been
unade at good prioes. The CRYING need
at Wildwood is more cottages. board
ing houses and hotels. They would
probably be rented before they were
completed at well paying rates. Hou-
SEES for all year occupancy are much
needed. Any one desiring to invest
money securely and to make a large
and steady return could not do better
than by building houses at Wildwood.

The smell of some burning substance
annoyed the store people at Wildwood
Bazaar late last Friday afternoon. A
search about the premises failed to re-
veal the cause, until about s o'clock in
the evening, when Aunt Annie and
Mrs. Ryan espied flames rising from
the interior ofone of the grocery wagons
which was standing under the shed
near the barn. An alarm was given
and the wagon was pulled to the street
and the blanket found to be IN fire. 1t
is supposed that a spark from a pipe
caused the fire. If it had happened
several hours later the chances are that
several buildings would have been
burned and the cause would forever
been a mystery and a source of wonder
ment, which now is explained SO easily.
People used to smoking cannot be too
careful.
A very important meeting of the
Wildwood Athletic Association will be
held at the Office of Reeve Brothers on
Pine avenue tomorrow evening at 7.30.
All interested are requested to be
present.

A Quick Breakfast Dish

We all know about French toast,
where slices of bread are moistened
in beaten egg and milk, then
Drowned in butter, but here is a little
different Armenian way of prepar-
ing toast for breakfast that is nour-
ishing and exceedingly tasty. For half
a dozen slices of bread, put three eggs
in shallow bowl and beat. Have
ready in frying pan generous lump
of butter or couple of tablespoon
fuls good drippings. When hot cut
the slices of bread in halves, dip as
many as will fit into the pan in beat
en- egg until both sides are covered
and brown in the hot pan AS fast as
colored crispy deep gold, pile evenly
on hot plate and serve with maple
or any fruit syrup preferred. Ten
minutes suff1ces to cook enough for
family, great desideratum when an
early breakfast is necessary. The
cooking of the eggs and bread togeth-
er in this way saves extra cooking
dishes.

WASHING Knitted Goods.

To wash knitted or crocheted WOOL
en- articles, make strong suds Of
white soap and warm water, to which
a little ammonia has been added. Soap
and squeeze the shawl or other goods
gently in this, but do not lift the
articles whose weight would stretch
them too much. Pour off the suds
and pour on fresh rinsing water of
the same temperature, doing this
twice. After the second rinsing,
squeeze all the moisture possible out of
the goods by pressing against +; the
edge of the vessel in which they have
been washed. Now set the pan with
the article in it, or turn out on to a
large, clean platter into the warming
oven of the range, turning over and
over until perfectly dry.
