Old Mr.. Rathbone Finds Changes in
Caldwell After Sixty-one Years.
From the New York Sun.


Montclair, Sept. 16.-Yesterday morn
ing an old man with flowing white hair
and snowy beard drove down Bloomfield
avenue, the principal thoroughfare of
Caldwell borough. The horse looked the
worse for travel, and the old-fashioned
carriage was spattered with mud The
old man pulled his horse up the sidewalk
in front of Joseph E. Jacobus' grocery
store and a2costed young man standing
in the doorway:
Can you direct me to. Calvin Crane's
select school"' asked the old man
The young man said he was born in the
| town and had lived there TWENTY-FIVE
years, but was unable to give the desired
information. He thought, however, that
Mr.. JacObus could.
Mr.. Jacobus was called out and the
same question was put to hiln by the old
man. The groceryman looked at the old
man with surprise, and was quite taken
aback By the query.
YES" he finally said, q did know
| where MIR. Cranes school was, but it mas
| been out of existence for the past fifty
| years"
The stranger unused a moment in silence
and then said
My name is John V. Rathboue. and I
live IN Parkersburg, w. Va, where have
! resided ever since left Caldwell. sixty
! one years ago. When ! lived here [ at
| tended the old PRESBYTERIAN church at
| the time that the father of President
| Cleveland was its pastor. For many
| years have desired to revisit my native
| place. But, he added as he started up
| the sleepy horse, things have changed
! about the town"
| The old man was unable to fiud the
| house he had once lived in, and the old
| landmarks which he once knew were
! gone. After spending about three hours
IN the town he drove out of the borough
as quietly as he had entered.
