no reason the prosecution should

A curious freak of nature in the person
of one claiming to be Mrs. DR.. Went
worth, has been harrassing the sympa-
thetic and charitably disposed people of
Morristown during the past few weeks
with pathetic appeals for free board and
lodging. Several people have taken her
in, as well as her story, and harbored her.
But this sort of charity soon grows old.
So several made complaint and the other
day Chief Holloway ordered her from
town. But she didn't go and on We'd
nesday was arrested and sentenced to Jail
for 10 days-meanwhile the question of
her sanity will be determined.

More About Factories in Newton.
NEWTON, N. j., Jan. II, '9S


EDITOR MORRIS COUNTY CHRONICLE:
Dear Sir-I have read with consider
able interest Editor Bunnell's communi-
cation relative to factories and factory
life in Newton. If it will not be tres
passing upon your time, will give you
q few details with regard to the Merriam
shoe factory, it being the one with which
/ am best acquainted. In the first place
Mr.. Merriam is a member of the Presby-
terian Church and has been the inspira-
ton of all the improvements that has
been made on this church property
since he has been here, and has probably
contributed fifty per cent. of all they
have cost. If we turn to the Methodist
Church we find the following among the
the employees of this factory: The
Sunday school superintendent and one of
his assistants, one trustee, three stewards
and one class leader. In addition to the
above one young man resigned his posi-
ton to enter the travelling ministry of
the Methodist Protestant Church and is
now engaged in that work, and another
is local elder and has occupied Metho-
dist pulpits in Sussex county besides
preaching in Warren, Essex, Union and
Morris counties, passing through Morris
town on his way to one Of these appoint
ments. might add great deal more
with regard to Methodist Church work.
Very truly yours, SUBSCRIBER.
