CAPT. BLAKE ENGAGES IN
SHIP BUILDING BUSINESS.

His many Atlantic County friends
are very much interested to learn of
the association of Mark Wesley Blake,
former sea captain, and at present a
Pleasantville resident, with a large
enterprise now starting for the con-
struction of vessels. The corporation
with large reliable persons in back of
1t will construct a plant of sufficient
size as to permit the building of
twelve vessels at once with the inten-
ton OF placing the vessels at immedi-
ate sale. 1t being among the leading
industries at the present time, Mr..
Blake Is very much enthused with the
possibilities, as the demand is for yes
sells. regardless of price.
Because of Captain Blake's famil-
larlty along marine lines he has been
appointed the agent for the new Com
pany for the Atlantic Coast line, and
stock will be solicited for under his
SUPERVISION. Enough capital will be
raised at once to commence immedi-
ately upon the construction of vessels
and persons interested will complete
their stock purchases through Mr..
Blake at p East Verona avenue, in
P~leasantville.
The unprecedented demand for mer-
chant vessels since the war has al
ready made many relatives and friends
Of Captain Blake enriched through the
ownership of vessel stocks, and the
new enterprise he claims promises
large returns if started at once. The
new company will be formed by large
men of reliable characters who know
the business, and the plans already
laid out appear very convincing of
great profits to be made according to
local friends of Mr.. Blake.

When it developed during the trial

court at Mays Landing this week on
the charge of unlawful conversion that
his erstwhile sweetheart had really
loaned the money to him to assist him
during a financial stringency incident
to lack of employment, Judge Shinn
promptly ordered his acquittal. The
complaining witness was Miss Julia
Eagan. She said that she had met
Naylor early in December. Three
days before Christmas she advanced
him SGT which he said could be used
for purchasing furniture for a little
home which he proposed they should
set up in Pleasantville. Instead of
buying furniture, she said, he bought
himself a complete outfit of clothing
in which he appeared before her. She
was naturally indignant at this but
forgave him when he promised TO make
the money GOOD as soon as he obtained
steady employment. He also obtained
other sums from her, S. or $40 at a
time. Finally. he announced that he

Nine. LAMBERT, TEACHER of MUSIC
Piano, Organ. String Instruments.

ldiiO, OISdns OlI1ng
Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. Lessons in whole or
divided courses. All missed lessons
must be made up-no excuse. Think
and be prepared ahead means business
on both sides.

there is also a remedy for these ugly

apply a little of it night and morning,
and in a few days you should see that
even the worst freekles have begun to
disappear, while the light ones have

rid yourself of freckles, for if not re-
moved now they may stay all Summer,
and spoil an otherwise beautiful COM
