required some knowledge of our
Bible to answerit. 1t was concerning
Noah and the flood. Thus an official
recognition of christian history and
the christian Bible as belonging to
the classic literature of the world has
been recognized by the Chinese au-
thorities. The missionaries saw their
opportunity and provided the candi-
dates with Bibles aud other christian
literature in the Chinese language
Behold how great matter little
fire kindleth." These Bibles will be
centers of radiating influence among
those students, and this may be the
spark that shall ultimately set all
China in a blaze of christian light and
glory
Let us keep on working and praying
for He is faithful that promised.

A NAVAL RESERVES WELCOME
Charles Bottleberger Met by a Band and
Banquet Held in His Honor.

Charles Bottleberger Met by Band and
a Banquet Held in His Honor.
1t was truly patriotic, as well as a
pleasant reception that awaited Charles
Bottleberger on his return home Monday
evening. At the depot he was met by
Mitchells band and the sailor hero was
escorted to carriage which he occupied
with his sisters, the Misses Bottleberger,
their mother and Mrs. John A. Todd.
Led by the band the line pro-
ceded to McAlpin Hall, which had
been specially decorated and arranged
for the occasion. Here banquet was
enjoyed by many admirers of the mem
Der of the Naval Reserves. Leopold
Steiner did the honors as postmaster
and with his never failing stock of good
humor kept those present convulsed
with laughter during the progress of the
feast. Joseph Steiner responded to a
toast and incidentally paid tribute to the
many good qualities of the young patriot
whom they had met to honor.
Mr.. Bottleberger spoke briefly and
with modesty of his experience in Cuban
waters and elsewhere on board the Bad
ger. He had been member of the New
Jersey Reserves for two years previous to
his enlistment on May II last and for
four years was in the employ of Steiner
Brothers of this city. His welcome
home was arranged by employees of this
house and was in charge Of John A.
Todd, one Of the Messrs. Steiner's most
trusted men. Upon securing his dis.
charge, which he expects this sweek, Mr..
Bottleburger will resume his former posi-
tion here. MitchelPs band volunteered
their services for Mondays demonstra-
tion and the use of McAlpin Hall was
extended gratuitously John Little was
caterer for the event.

OWNED THE TOWN.
Annual Fire Department Inspection
Witnessed by Crowds.


Wednesday was proud day for the
Morristown firemen and they may well
be pardoned any feeling of pride that
they were won't to express or show, for
certainly the appearance of the Depart
ment was most creditable, rejecting
more than favorably upon the city as
well as those who were part of the
demonstration. Rain fell during Mon
day night and clouds lowered over early
on the morning of this day which was to
prove gala occasion, but later the sun
appeared and soon the streets were in
good marching condition.
Long before the hour of inspection
evidences of interest in the approaching
event were visible in the unusual num-
Der of persons on the streets and in the
park. The crowd that gathered in the
afternoon to witness the public exhibit
ton was the largest seen in Morristown
for long time. Merchants and others
recognized the day by displaying flags.
After the Board of Aldermen had in
spected the houses of the various COM
panies and their apparatus the parade
was held and many were the comments
upon the fine appearance of the fire lad
dies. A committee comprising First
Assistant Chief Joseph Ambrose, Ben
Sayre, Joseph Kronenberg, Edward
Hutchinson and w. J. Byram met the
Citizens Band of Madison at the depot
This band and Mitchel's musicians par
ticipated in the parade.
The Chemical engine made very quick
time in reaching the miniature frame
house in front of the Becker building
which had been set on fire and less than
minute was required to extinguish the
blaze.
The exhibition by Resolute Hook and
Ladder Company was particularly inter
esting and but two minutes and twelve
seconds elapsed between the time they
left the house and when the ladder had
been run up to the top of the Babbitt
building. From a window on the fourth
floor Foreman George Cobbett rescued a
dummy figure and passed it down the
ladder to safety where willing hands
hastily carried the unfortunate victim
into nearby pharmacy and restoratives
were applied. The victim has not yet
been resuscitated, however.
Chemicals time was 13, Washington
/. IA, and Humane 1.2O. The last named
company deserved the honors in view of
the double distance it covered.
In the evening Washington Engine
Company, led by Mitchell's band,
marched to the home of Vim. /. Snudden
and escorted the oldest member of the
organization to the engine house. Here
he was presented with handsome silver
foreman's trumpet. Mr. Snudden has
been connected with the company
twenty seven years and has served three
terms as foreman. Chief Engineer Fox
was also presented with beautifully
engraved silver trumpet, by Resolute
Hook and Ladder Company.
