WEDIfUK ygl5FNznVlgm YOU Kind
ly give room in the JOURNAL for few
remarks concerning Five Mile-Beach.
| will say that / have visited every
resort on the Jersey coast from Cape
May to Atlantic Highlands; have been
here less than week, but have been
over the town pretty. thoroughly, and
from what 1 have seen, think that Five
Mile Beach is the coming resort of the
coast.
In whatever direction you look you
can see new houses going up and they
are all of modern pattern; the sidewalks
have all been paved in substantial
manner; the beach front is being adorn-
ed with up-to-date hotels; large apart
ment houses are being erected in va
rious parts of the town to accommodate
the crowd of visitors that will come
here during the summer.
The borongh government is in the
hands of progressive business men who
are offering great inducements to capi-
talists to locate here. In fact, Five
Mlle-Beach is putting its best foot for
ward and is fast forging to the front as
popular seaside resort.
On Sunday while walking up Attain
tic avenue, we were accosted by a lady
who wanted to know if those lots,
(pointing to some vacant lots) were
for sale. Being stranger we could
not inform her. She then remarked,
that she had visited many of the coast
resorts, but Five -Mile-Beach had i'm
pressed her as being one of the most
progressive, and as she was a widow,
with unlimited means, she intended to
buy property here and build several
cottages.
The hotels that are now open are
rapidly filling with guests, and those
that will open in June are booking
many persons who will come here at
that time.
Wildwood Crest, is a young enter
prise of the island, but it is in the
hands of progressive, up-to-date busi-
ness men, who realize the great future
in store for Five-Mile-Beach, and they
are offering unprecedented inducements
for capitalists to come here, consequent
ly their lots are being disposed of and
built upon rapidly.
All hail Five-Mile-Beach, may its
progress be so rapid that it will rival
any resort on the Jersey coast in few
years. VIII take another look around
and give you our views in another
squib. VISITOR.

MAN ABOUT TOWN

49,

II the girls of Five Mile Beach want
to organize an up-to-date club they
should follow the example of Milwau-
kee's progressive young lassies. One
condition to be eligible to membership
is all that Is required. That condition
might prevent many of our fair
maidens from becoming members.
We're not prepared to say! Anyway,
the modern summer girls who flock to
the seashore resorts every season should
join the national organization which
reports say is about to be established.
OF course you're anxious to know some
thing about this unique club.
Only girls who have been squeezed
are eligible for membership to the
original Milwaukee club, which is
known as Crate No. l, Illustrious Order
of the Lemon. Twenty-eight candi-
dates have been initiated with many
more to follow.
The initiation ode every candidate
has to sing runs In part:
I'm a lemon, Pm lemon;
I'm lemon all right
I've been squeezed, I've been squeezed;
I've been squeezed quite tight!
Having been squeezed is the only
condition of membership. Are you
eligible?
"Where are you going this summer"
seems to have taken The place, as
form of greeting, of "Is it cold enough
for you?p If 1t be true that "in the
spring young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love-" it is equally
true that the thoughts of the more
settled portion of humanity turn to
the summer vacation and where and
how it is to be spent. Already the
rush for timetables has started" says
the information clerk in one of the big
railroad terminals in Philadelphia, y
and people are getting pointers on train
service to nearly every point ON the
map, but especially to the jersey sea
shore resorts. Philadelphia is great
old town for vacationists and Wild
wood and Five Mile Beach come in fol
their full share of patronage and atten
ton.

'sThis is most capricious spring, =
says we'll known Philadelphian who
has come to the island for the season
II have passed through seventy-siS
springs and have noted many peculiar
and changable conditions, but none
that will compare in variety and

cold water on this section of the map
in very short length of time. 1t has
shown up many low lots and places
over the island in very positive style.
Many of them people didn't know
were SO low and have commented upon
the fact. One Wildwood resident who
prides himself on his level and we'll

water the other morning after the big
rain. 1t was surprise to him. TAX
ing the resorts as a whole, though, the
drainage has been good, and a few
hours of pleasant weather soon re-
moves all traces of heavy rain.

Says local weather prophet, "I'm
glad to see the heavy rains come.
They denote the true beginning of
spring time and further they are sure
prediction that dry, hotsummer, will
follow-just the thing seashore resort
needs above all things to make 1t thrive

Suit Followed.

Seattle, Wash.-Because he bites
her, to accentuate his affection, Mrs
Matte Hagway has asked the super
Tor court of King county to grant her
a divorce from Hecker Hagway. and
$50 month alimony.
Mrs. Hagway says that the first in.
timation she had that her husband
was a bitter came Immediately after
the wedding ceremony, May 10, 1907.
While delivering the customary salu-
tation he leaned over and took a
chunk out of her neck. The wound
was painful, but she took it as pro
duct of playfulness.
But he repeated the operation on
the evening of July 6, after he had
been out with a party of friends La
ter in the month after they had re-
turned home from the theatre, he
asked her how she enjoyed the play,
and at the same time bit her right ear
This time she kicked, but he only
leaned over and chewed the Other ear.
The statement is made in the ON

friends have suggested that Mr.. Hag-
way have his teeth pulled out in OF der

RUNAWAY CARS
Went Into DeraiI Switch and Were
Wrecked-Did Some Damage.

Saturday night about 10 o'clock a
string of empty box cars got loose in
the local yards. and came laundering
down into the north end Of the yards,
and we're on their way north. Flag
man Johnson, who was on duty at the
switch station north of Sycamore
street, saw them coming and threw
them onto the derail switch. Five or
six cars piled onto a siding and most
Of them left the track. A lumber shed
belonging to the Broyles mill was in
the way of a caboose and was almost
torn down. Two other cars went on
into the Broyles mill plant over
track that goes to the lumber sheds
south of the mill, and but for the
slow speed and the interference of a
big lumber stack much damage would
have been done in the mill. The
wrecking crew got busy and by ten
o'clock Sunday morning had all Of the
cars picked up and back in the yards
where they belonged.

Would Promote Anarchism.

Amsterdam.-Every country of Eu-
rope has sent some of its most eff
cient police to Amsterdam TO keep an
eye on the anarchists who gather
here this week for their international
congress. Though all that concerns
the congress has been kept a close
secret, enough has leaked out of the
program to cause the various govern
ments and the heads of state to sit up
and take notice.
The promotion of anarchism among
civilized nations is the announced
purpose of the congress. Incidentally,
it is said. the congress will hold
drawing TO determine by lot who shall
have the honor of assassinating
those whose death has been decreed.
A provisional list of those to be exc
cuted is said to have been drawn up
already, which embraces the names of
the car of Russia, the emperor Of
Germany and the kings of Italy and
Belgium.
