Continued from page l

A quiet wedding was solemnized in
Philadelphia last Saturday, the con-
tracing parties being Miss Ida Chatter
and Daniel Ingham, both of Philadel-
phla. We can justly claim Mr.Ingham
as q resident of Wildwood, being assoc
lated In business here with Herschel
Taylor, jointly owning the Davis Ice
Cream Company, with a factory on
Burk avenue. Miss Chatter has been
a steady summer visitor here with her
father and mother, renting a cottage on
West Magnolia avenue, coming here
in the summer and staying late 10 the
fall. Mr.. and Mrs. Ingham have rent
ed n of the new apartments, recent
ly finished on West Juniper avenue.
where they will make their future
home. The Journal joins with their
many friends in wishing the newly
weds a long and prosperous married
life.

Mervin Lutz vas recently sentenced
to thirty days in jail by Judge Eldredge
for defrauding q Wild wood boarding
house keeper. The above should carry
a note of warning to all proprietors of
boarding houses. 1t appears to be the
common opinion of boarding house
keepers that by having q warrant
issued for the arrest Of such delinquents,
their unpaid board bills can be collect
ed, but unfortunately for them, this is
not the case. The defrauding party is
bound over to court and, if convicted
Is compelled to serve time In the county
jail. This may have a Christening in
fiuence on the prisoner, but does not
pay the boarding house keeper, who,
after such an experience, ia usually q
sadder and a wiser person.

The Wildwo Crest borough coun-
Gil met In regular monthly session last
Monday night, with Mayor Philip P.
Baker presiding and Councilmen Crane,
James, Diamond, Rigor, Seward and

read and approved, after which a COM
munication vas read from the West

pany stating hat certain improve
ments, as requested by council would
be made at the depot. Two applicants
for life guards during the season, were
read, accepted and filed. The ordinance
providing for the repairing OF. rebuild
ing Of the bulkhead along Sunset lake
was brought up for second reading, but
was not passed, owing to a seeming
defect In it. There was, however a
hearing upon the subject, and various
views were given as to whether the
work should be paid for by general tax
alton or by assessment against abut-
ting properties, and some good reasons
were advanced On both sides, after
which further consideration Of the
ordinance was deferred and the borough
engineer was directed to furnish plans
aud specifications for the work. All
the committees reported progress re-
garding the various matters in their
hands, and q report was made that
contractor McLinden would soon have
the sewage disposal plant in excellent
working condition. A request was
made that a certain space in t%heborough
hall be turned over to the fire company
for an amusement or recreation room,
and the matter was referred TO the
fire committee, and a motion prevailed
ordering suits for the policemen, not to
exceed a cost OF twenty-five dollars
each. A resolution was adopted maxi
ing a reciprocal agreement with the
city OF Wildwood In reference to fire.

looking to the establishment of the
wharves on Sunset lake for the accom-
mediation of vessels landing there, 1t
being made apparent, owing to discus
sion of the question, that such wharves
were greatly needed. The bids for the
collection Of garbage were opened and
read, MacKissic, Wright and Spauld-
ing being the bidders, and the bids
were referred 10 the sanitary committee.

company. the Imperial gained their
grasp on the oil lands Of Peru, when
the interests led by Lord Cowdray and
other English capitalists failed to get
a foothold in the country. In 1910 the
president Of Peru forbade the distribu-
tion Of petroleum claims until the gov
ernment saw fit to open up the de-
posits. The attempts Of Richard Lloyd
George to capture rne concessions
were unsuccessful, although Lloyd
George went personally to South
America to aid in the project. That
was only a year ago, and it was at
that time the announced intention Of
Peru to conserve its resources. Mean
while, the Standard had been gaining
control of several oil compapies in
peru, the LobitOs OIL fields and the
Negritos Oil company.

WOMAN'S CLUB IS
selling The
STAMPS
RED CROSS sTIckERs' PROCEEDS
WILL GO TO AID TU5ER-
cULAR POOR

With efficient committees hard al
work on the movement, the Woman's
club expects to make signal sue
cess of the Red Cross stamp sale To-
cally and to do its share toward pro-
viding the National Red Cross with
funds for the relief OF the tuberculous
during the year 1915. More than that,
the local organization desires to out
strip all Of the other women's clubs
of the state in the number Of stamps
sold per capita.
The sale is being conducted direct
I to the business men and in the
schools. A little later selling booths
will be placed in the principal busi-
ness houses and every holiday shopper
will be asked to buy all toe stamps
THAT he can afford.
This is the best known Of all char
liable movements in the United States
and best of all is home charity, for
the reason that large proportion Of
the money raised in this way will re
main in New Mexico to be used fol
the education of the tuberculous that
the healthy may be protected. Some
of it will go toward the maintenance
of the free hospitals, open air schools,
nurses and dispensaries maintained
by the Red Cross. 1t is advised even
lin these times Of feeding the Belgians
and our own poor, that this worthy
move be not overlooked.
These little stamps, printed in three
oolors, are attractive decorations for
Christmas packages and letters sent
out during the holiday season. Santa
looks out at one from the stamps with
smiling face, while the greetings Of
the season are expressed thereon.
| The local club is only one Of Is
throughout the state conducting this
sale, and keen rivalry has sprung up
among them to see which one will sell
the greatest number Of stamps upon
a per capita basis The women here
are not only anxious to assist In this
work, but to make a good record for
the town and its spirit

MYSTERIOUS Man
OPERATING IN

WHO Is HE7 WHAT IS HEP WHAT
is HE DOING HERE? WHO
SENT HIM? DO YOU KNOW?

Coincident with the press reports OF
the presence in various cities through
out the United States of European
agents looking to the purchase Of war
supplies, comes the rumor that such a
person is now in our own city. 1t Is
said that he represents one of the
countries now engaged in the great
war and that before the opening Of
hostilities he was the private secre-
tary to one of the big men OF Europe
His nationality, whether or not he' is
in Las Vegas to purchase cattle, hors-
es or to locate land for prospective
emigrants, or whether he is in any
way at all connected officially with
the warning countries, could not be
learned.
However, as this paper gies to press
reporter has found the gentleman
in question and in Wednesdays issue
will be found the result Of his inter
view. Suffice to say that the inter
view should prove highly interesting

KILLARNEY GIRLS
PLEASED THE
CROWD
BETTER MUSICAL ATTRACTION
HAS NOT BEEN SEEN HERE
IN YEARS

"The best ever was the statement
expressed last night by every one of
the hundreds Of people that filled the
Duncan opera house to capacity. The
attraction was the third of the Y. M.
.C A. Iyceum course. and consisted
of Rita Rich and the Killarney Girls
in the classiest production that has
reached Las Vegas in many years.
From the start the audience saw that
it was going to enjoy itself, and
throughout the entire performance it
let the fact be evident that it was
having a good time.
Time after time the performers
were recalled by vociferous encores,
and on each occasion they responded
willingly. The program consisted Of
Irish songs, jigs, instrumental mu.
sic and recitations. Miss Rita Rich
who headed the troupe, was especial
/ ly fine, both in character songs and
in kid impersonations. Her selections,
"The Carpenter Man." and The Moo
Cow Moo, literally brought down the
house.
The young lady who recited
"schmile, Just Schmile," and Ger
man poem concerning the ''Pacifics
un die Atlantics," received great
ovation. she also gave an excellent
Irish Jig. The instrumental music,
piano, violin and Irish harp, was well
worth the price Of admission alone.
The solo and chorus singing was some
of the finest to which Las Vegas has
had the pleasure of listening. The
program was a homogeneous assort-
ment of fun and seriousness, mixed in
just the right proportion to suit the
theatergoers. Every member Of the
company was vital 70 the success Of
the entire evening, and every one was
SO much on par as to excellence.
The Y. M. c. A. has set an extreme
lily high standard hitherto with the
numbers of the lyceum course. The
Killarney Girls far outreached any
thing that was on the program pre-
viously. 1t will he a decidedly hard
task to put on any number that will
|beat the one last night.
