Slade nervously assured himself
that all the doors were tightly closed.
He suppressed the twinge Of shame
for his stealthy action by assuring
himself that 1t was not fear-simply
business caution. To his cowardly
wrenching of his wife's heart he gave
no thought at all. II was a move in
the game. He made It as dispassion-
ately as one moves a chessman on
the board. Mary was looking at him
with new light in her brown eyes
as he turned to her again. She spoke
again.

Ottens Harbor

1t has been remarked that the OF
tens Harbor section never looked better
than at present. This is due largely to
the personal labor of s. Walter Estlow,
the local agent in thst section. Mr..
Estlow has been working in the way
Of fixing wharves, pilings, etc., and
has beautified the place by the plant
ing of flowers and the erection of q
large anchor which is brilliantly
illuminated with electric bulbs. The
anchor was loaned by Captain John
son.
Mr.. jackson, who has the harbor
concessions here, reports steady i'm
provement in business conditions.
New boats have made their appear
nee in the hsrbor, and at this time
apparently, the harbor contains more
boats than any other section of the
beach with the exception of the Angle
sea wharf. Captain Lewis Parker is
one of the new arrivals with a hand
some 35 TT. party boat named the Nep-
tune. 1t will run from the harbor with
fishing and grabbing parties. Captain
Ed. Frost, has his handsome "Mary
d." the % IT. passenger boat thorough
ly overhauled and will begin his tenth
or twelfth season hauling parties from
this section. The Frosts have just been
blessed with another little Jack Frost,
which Father Neptune delivered to
them out of his boat which recently
came up the harbor.
Captain Johnson, owner of the
Sweetheart, has his craft in the pink Of
condition and ready for the seasons

launch a fine cabin cruiser.

MUST PROVIDE FOR
WILDWOOD SCHOOL
State Education Official Orders
Commissioners 20 FurnIsh
100000

TRENTON, June 16.-In his first de-
cision since assuming the duties of AS
sistant Commissioner of Education, as
successor to the late ]. Brognard Belts,
John Enright today ordered in the mat
ter of the controversy between the Board
of Education of Wildwood and the
Wildwood Board of Commissioners,
that the latter Immediately take such
action as will furnish to the Board of
Education of the city of Wildwood the
500 900 which was determined to be
necessary by the Board of School Esti-
mate for the purchase of laud and the
erection of a new school building.
The Board of Education of Wildwood
on October Z, 1914, certified to the Board
of School Estimate of the city in the
regular n a requisition for an APP
preparation of $l00, 900 to be raised by
the issue of bonds by the city for the
aforementioned purpose, which was
approved by the Board of Estimate I'M
unanimously and in turn certified to the
OAtJ OOlllAA1AOolOAs ~ OOL1u AfookOLE
then proceeded to take action to carry
into effect the issuance of the bonds, but
the ordinance providing for this failed
of passage on third reading, the Com
missioners holding it to be within their
discretion to reject the proposition.
Appeal was taken to the State De-
partment of Education by the School
Board from the action of the Commits
sion and a hearing held on the eighth
day of this month at which both sides
were represented and the question of
whether the decision of the Court of
Errors and Appeals, given in the case
of the Board of Education VS.. the Com
mon Council of Lambertville, was APP
plicable arose In this decision the
court held that the petition of the edu-
cational board was defective because it
set fourth the purchase of a lot, erection
and equipment of a school building
thereon and repairs to existing school
structures as the purposes for which the
money was to be expended, and that
under such a petition all the funds re-
quested might be devoted to the repair
work.
Commissioner Enright rules in his
opinion that the Lambertville case does
not apply in the present instance, and
that in view of the fact at the hearing
members of its Board of Education,
Board of School Estimate, Board of
Commissioners, including the Mayor,
were in accord as to the immediate me-
cessity for more school space, he de-
cided to issue the order for favorable
action on the request for 100000 bond
issue.-Camden Post Telegram, June

ing as they did In 1776.
The entire church was filed with
persons who worshiped in the same
pews where knelt the churchmen and
patriots of the Continental congress.
Bishop Garland, at the conclusion OF
his address, read the following poem,
written by him for the occasion:
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Lord, in thy house this sacred day
We kneel where patriots knelt to pray;
They pledged anew their faith in thee,
Then took up arms for liberty.
Not in their strength, but in thy might,
They trusted to defend the right,
And thou didst guide them by thy han
And Established firm our fatherland.
God of the patriots, be our guide;
Protect this land for which they died;
Give us our fathers faith In thee
To live for truth and liberty.

BASKET BALL At WEST SIDE

West Side, Jan. 19(Special the Re
view. y The long waited for basket
ball game took place at the Germania
Hall Friday evening. The first game
was West Side town team VS. the
famous Ellsworth Giants. A more en-
citing game could not be imagined.
Ellsworth has won every game they
have played for two years, and the
West Side boys were bound to break
that record, which they did. A hard
battle was fought the score being IL
to % in favor of West Side.
Next the West Side high school
boys played Manila high school. Man
lila has defeated West Side once this
season at Manila but the West Side
boys thought they would try it again.
Manila has beautifully trained team
and have beaten nine games straight
The West Side boys tried their best
but Manila defeated them II to 3S.
However it was very interesting and
fair game. After the basket ball
games, basket social was given. The
ladies and girls of West. Side brought
the baskets to help defray expenses,
there being about 25 baskets in all.
All the boys enjoyed the fine lunches
after fighting so hard a battle. About
500 was taken in at the door and the
basket stand.
