Wm. H. O'Keefe, of Philadelphia, was down on Sunday and joined his wife and niece at their cottage on Glenwood avenue. Wm. G. Hand, D. D. S., dentist, of Court House, will be at Cohen Bros. drug store on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week. Order your ice cream from Mills & Co., opposite railroad station, Holly * Beach. Jacob Kemper, accompanied by his two daughters, came down from Philadelphia this morning to remain for the summer. Mr. Kemper will be remembered as keeping a little ice cream and confectionery store last summer, and he is arranging to open up again on Saturday, where he will be glad to see all his old friends. Splendid cement and flagstone sidewalks and curbing have taken the place of sandy, muddy or uneven walks and wooden curb; and our streets are hard, smooth and clean. Baker Bros.t Willits Corson, optician, will be at Cohen Bros. drug store every Thursday. See adv. in another column. The First National Bank of Cape May, which was closed three weeks ago by the Comptroller of the Currency, at the request of its president, Dr. Emlen Physick, still remains closed despite the efforts of the directors to have it opened again. It appears that the president asked the comptroller to close the bank without consulting the directors, and the latter are very indignant at the president's action. Receiver Hardt has promised to make a statement to the public. One of the directors is quoted as saying: "It was a wrong business move and had the directors been consulted before the step was taken everything would have been adjusted satisfactorily and the bank would be still open and doing business."

A happy culmination of the unfortunate failure of the First National Bank at Cape May is in the announcement made by the Receiver last week that on demand every claim against the bank, with interest, will be paid. Not a depositor or stockholder suffers any loss except the president, Dr. Physick, who was blamed by many for precipitating the closing of the institution without consulting the directors. Dr. Physick stands the losses, if any. The bank was closed in May last and at the time it was charged that owing to bad investments, there would be large losses, but such seems not to have been the case.
