One OF he Candidates

Lewis T. Stevens, candidate for the
Republican nomination for Assembly a
is a native of Cape May County having
been born in Lower Township 3D.
August %, 1868. He was taken to
Cape May City by his parents in 1859,
attended the public schools aud was
graduated from them in 1885, receiving
a county diploma. He published about
this time an amateur journal, and then
learned the trade of printer in the Star
of the Cape office under the late w. v.
B. Voigman and Thomas r. Brooks.
With his savings from this he was en-
abled in the year of lSS9-90 to attend
Princeton College as a special student,
taking up subjects which would aid
him in law. From this time he sup
ported himself by being a newspaper
correspondent, while studying law at
nights as a registered student in the
Office of Judge James NJ. E. Hildreth.
In 1892 and 1898 he was employed on
New York trade journals while attend
ing the evening sessions of the Metro
polls law SCHOOL, in that city. In March,
1892, he was elected a member of the
Cape May City Council and served
three years, and in 1894 as President of
Council. He continued the study of law
and newspaper work and in June, 1898.
was admitted as attorney-at-law before
the State Supreme Court, and in F'ebru-
airy, 1902, became a Counsellor-at-l
In January, 1899, Judge Andrew Kirk
patrick appointed him a referee in
bankruptcy for the United States Dis
trict Court, and he has held the posi-
ton since then. He is also a Master in
Chancery aud Supreme Court Commits
sioner, positions he has earned by hard
study. He. served ten years as a men,
Der of the Cape May Board of Health.
Practically he has always been a Re-
publican and served at various times
as a delegate to State and Congress
sional conventions and as secretary of
the conventions and of the Republican
county executive committee. Mr..
Stevens is married aud has three chill
dren, two boys and a girl. He is a
member of the Episcopal Church of
the Advent, Cape May, and has been

No. 81, Ancient Order of United Work
men, and a member of the Improved
Order of Heptasophs, of the Improved
Order of Redmen and the Independent

and publisher of the Cape May Herald
and the author of 'The History of
Cape May County," published in 1897.

is embroidered. The sleeves are close
and long on the wrists, with four diff
ferent clusters of narrow tucks around
the arm. A heater, prettier frock could
scarcely be imagined. 1t would be as
pretty in any OF the new pastel tints
in batiste or any of the washable ma
terials.
Some Of the cotton goods show silk
stripes OF other fancy in silk. The
white woven madras wasting is very
dainty. Batiste mull-mercerized, too
and no end of dotted and embroidered
swisses are shown, 50 many and SO
varied in design that no one could
count them.
Among the ginghams and zephyrs
one sees shepherd check and an old
new fancy In tartan plaids in deep
blue and bright green. There are
many tartan and clan plaids In the
best Scotch ginghams and zephyrs,
and they are particularly well adapted
for childre1's wear, as they do not
shrink and never lose color. Some of
these zephyrs show broken plaids, an
always refined design. They are much
liked for shirt waists, which still on
tinue popular, especially when tailored
and laid In wide plaits from the
shoulder to the belt.
Hats are shrinking to a reasonable
size, and few women who can afford
a new hat are seen with the abomina-
BILE Merry Widow" size, but those
who cannot get a new hat Of the right
size must naturally wear the old till
times are better.
Among the new hats are some cun-
ming little bonnets named for some
historic woman whom / do not recall.
This bonnet is a delicious little poke
with strings at the back made of tulle
to match the color. The brim lies fat
in front, but tits a little at the sides.
1t Is very piquant. Other new mil
linery is much prettier than when the
merry Widow" reignsd, and few are
large in the brim save such as are to
be worn to some grand function when
picture hats seem to be indicated.
Feather covered turbans are much
liked just now and are not too heavy
for spring. The lighter parts of the
feathers are employed, and they are
finished of with quilts or wings. Os-
trich plumes are rarely seen this sea-
son. Turbans are certainly among the
best liked and most becoming hats
for spring OLIVE HARPER

It lie with a saddened heart that we
chronicle the death of Martha r. Neal,
aged % years, at ehsr home in Rio
Grande,f IN. j., September 10, 1903.
She had been in failing health for the
pab three years, but was of a bright,
sunny disposition and eve burdened
anyone with her ills. Martha was a
sweet girl who found many friends
where ever she went, and her early
departure from among us has cast a
dark shadow along our pathway.
When her father passed away less
than two months ago with the same
dread disease, tuberculosis, she seemed
to feel that che would Dor follow him
and to prevent wounding her dear
mothers heart had secretly made ar
engagements to be carried into effect
after her demise, thus showing her
noble character. Early in life she had
connected herself with the M. E.
church in her home village, and had
ever been q consistent Christian. The
last two years of her life she had been
unable to attend worship because OF
her ill health, but, her beautiful testi-
monies In her dying hours are strong
proof that she had walked and talked
with the Master in the quiet of her own
heart and greeted Him at the open
portals with a face radiant with joy
unspeakable. Our hearts go out in
sympathy to the dear mother and two
remaining sisters who so faithfully
have watched and waited at the bed
sides of these two loved ones the past
two months, and, only He, who doeth
all things well, car heal the heart
wounds and sustain them in these
days of affiiction. Rev. Mr.. Tozel

Quoted at the house OIL Saturday, al
two p. M. There were many beauti
full floral emblems, tokens of the esteem
in which she was held by her host OF
friends. The remains were laid to RESI-
in the Baptist cemetery.

Public schools and Spelling

from the Elmer Times.
September brings about the openi,pf
of~sse public schools OF fnecountry ar4lo
the children will soon be deep in stud y,
The changes in teaching methods in
fifty years have Teen almost revolu-
tionary while the past ten or fifteen
years have witnessed great changes In
grading and the curriculum as a whole.
There Vas a time that a scholar was
considered fairly we'll educated when
the art of reading well, writing plainly,
spelling correctly, and simple arithme-
tic, had been mastered. In the rush to
know it all, some of these basic subjects
seem to have been sadly neglected Spell
ling especially has been neglected in
the average public schools, crowded out
as if of snail importance aud students
are losing ground in the art. Every
newspaper office and publishing house
particularly is finding it increasingly
difficult to get employees who can
spell correctly.
In the days of spelling bees, and the
weekly spelling matches in the schools,
there was strife for spelling honors, but
that day has passed. The best public
illustration we have seen of the truth
of the assertion that we are educating a
generation of poor spoilers, is in a test
made the present year at Yale college,
a college from which we have the right
to expect the best. Two hundred and
fifty students were required to submit
essays on a certain subject. One of the
professors in examining these essays
took account of mispelled words and
found mistakes in spelling In all but
%; two of these % were written by
Chinese students. There were 1887
cases of misspelling in III essays.
These Yale students doubtless showed
an exceptionally good average by com
parison with the average student of to-
day, but nevertheless clearly illustrate
the tendency toward poorer spell
ing.
If correct spelling should be made
the test Of scholarship for entering pre-
paratory schools and colleges, these
schools would soon be boarded up for
lack of pupils because our public
schools are neglecting spelling and are
not graduating pupils who a pass an
examination in spelling. Educators
who prepare grades for common schools
will do their country a service if they
insist on giving more time in school to
the rudimentary elements of education.
1t may be necessary to drop some of
the many subjects now required to be
taken but that will not be a loss. On
ly a small percentage of the public
school children ever reach graduation
in the high school department. They
drop out in the lower grades to go to
work, or for other causes. Every eff
fort seems now to be bent toward the
High school grade, and in doing it
there is neglect in getting that profici-
ency in the basic elements of an educa-
ton which both the graduate and the
scholar who never reaches the high
school stage, should obtain.

Fetching Millinery.
How many persons there are IN this
world occupied In inventing something
for the establishment or pleasure of
womankind, so many and 30 varied
hat whole pages could contain but a
very few OF them. and yet the women
want more-the vote. 1t would appear
to most Of us that the entire kingdoms
of earth, air and water give up their
best for woman as 1t is, and-well,
what's the use? I am here to tell
about these beautiful things and not
to give a lecture Oh suffrage pro or
contra. First, of the new white ma
terials for summer dresses. These are
made In tucked lines with a design Of
embroidery between the clusters of
tucks. Just how this is made is diff
cult to say. Are the .tucks stitched
down the whole piece & goods before
the design of embroidery is donef l
do not know, but the effect is beauti-
full. The dainty line alternates with the
pretty pattern OF daisies or some other
delicate little blossom with its foliage.
OF the patterned colored materials
there is no end. and all are lovely.
Stripes, clearinghouse, dots and figures
Of curious shape are all shown.
Voiles of every kind are offered, and
they make excellent dresses for really
hard usage. Pretty designs are shown
for the development of these goods
and for wash fabrics, and there is but
little effort to make them in the sheath
shape, which would be manifestly out
of place. So there may be said to be
an intermediate style devised for the
wash fabrics and for the conservative.
There are skirts of nine cores, the
seams slot stitched. and with the al
ways desirable plait at the bottom of
each seam. With this skirt, which is
neither laring nor tight, is worn a
white, and much ornamented white,
shirt waist. Many of the skirts have
tucks laid in at the top of a deep ruff
f1e, which Is also tucked close to the
bottom. White, thin and washable
skirts have many narrow tucks to fiji
them close to thesfigure down below
the hips, where they slant off to moth
ing, thus forming the ~fullness. The
waist to wear with this has a bunch
of narrow plaits over the shoulder and
is plated in 1t the belt instead of be
ing gathered. as usual. In the plain
portion of the waist across the bust is
an inset of embroidery and lace. The
high collar is of the same, and the belt

MIR. TUCKER SPEAKS.

Hon. Harry st. Geo. Tucker spoke
to large assembly on Monday last in
the County Hall. Mr.. Tucker, as is
we'll known. does not feel that he was
kindly treated by the powers that be,
in the recent campaign for the nomi-
nation for governor on the Democratic
ticket. But he was requested by the
managers of the campaign to open the
campaign for the Democrats in Staun-
ton, which he did in well timed,
forceful and well received speech OF an
hour and a quarter. 1t was asking a
good deal of Mr.. Tucker to speak in
favor of the nominees just now, at least
before much time had elapsed in
which to cool down from the heat OF
the campaign. But he was equal to
the occasion. 1t is barely possible the
organization sought to put him in a
hole. They no doubt thought he would
decline and possibly hoped he would,
that they might use such declination
as weapon for his destruction. The
organization is very willy, and has the
cheek usually ascribed to government
mule. But if they thought to catch
Mr.. Tucker sulking, they were disap-
pointed. He greatly raised himself in
the estimation of his friends by his
conduct and by the temper of his ad-
dress.

that the government forced upon us in
'65 was better one than the one form
ed by US and fought for bravely for
four years, with enormous loss of life
and property. 1t means that the men
who led us in that heroic fight, are I'M
worthy of the honors we have lavished
upon them, being leaders in cause
that did not succeed and did not de-
serve success. That the men who led
the armies of the conquering section
were the true patriots whose success
was our gain, and who deserve our
thanks for forcing us back into ale
glance to the best government the
world ever saw, which we were I'M
wisely resisting. And, finally, it means
that our camps of Confederate veterans
have no good reason for existence, but
should disband, and no longer defend
and maintain the cause which failed,
and, if his claim is just, deservedly
failed in '61-65.

WORKED RICHMOND.

A fake insurance company has been
operating for long time in Rich
mond. The company purports to have
been chartered in Ohio, and goes gen.
orally by the name of the /. L. U. 1t
has principally been fleeing the ne
groes. The fraud has been going on
without let or hindrance right under
the nose of the Insurance Commission
er of Virginia, and it is said has robbed
many. Of course the Commissioner
knew nothing of it. 1t, however, af-
fords fitting illustration of the bene-
fits the people of Virginia get from an
office made for political reasons and
intended only to be sine cure. If the
same study and attention were given
to insurance matters in Virginia that
seem to have been given them in New
York or Europe by our worthy official,
things might improve They could
scarcely be worse.
