The Rev. Manning Force united in
marriage in the old Methodist church,
Morristown, on November 25, 1S4S,
Theodore Egbert and Miss Frances
Thorpe, whose golden wedding anniver-
sary was celebrated in quiet manner
on Friday evening last at their home,
No. % Phoenix avenue.
The anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Egbert brought together very pleasantly
many of their friends, who rejoiced with
them upon having reached the half cen
fury mark, both still enjoying fair
degree of health. The reception was
from eight to twelve, during which time
the guests chatted over the days that
were, viewed tie numerous useful and
pretty reminders of the occasion, and
enjoyed the refreshments. Considerable
chatting was rendered the venerable
groom upon the fact that he had never
been to New York, although he frequent
ly arranged to make tine trip under the
care of Frank q. Fairchild. Several
dates had been named, but Mr.. Egbert's
courage generally oozed out when the
station was reached, owing to the fact,
it was said, that waggish friends had
thoroughly established in the travellers
mind that long plank had to be crossed
in passing from the cars to the ferry boat
and another twice as long when the
Gotham side was reached. Hence his re-
fusal to take in the big city.
The cosy cottage was tastefully deco
rated with smilax and flowers, while
over the mantel in the reception room
the figures 1S4S 1898 in gold were no
ticeable. A number of regrets were re-
ceived. Among those present were: The
Rev. w. R. Taylor, Mr.. and Mrs. w. F.
Day, Mrs Burr of Newark, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. A. Muir, Mr.. and Mrs. Angelo
Bennett, Mr.. and Mrs. Jerry Slater,
Messrs. F. A. and II. Fl. Fairchild, Frank
w. milford, Judge Vreeland, Thomas
B. Ironside, Harrie B. Hoffman, Henry
G.. Ratley and J. Frank Lindsey.

ADMIRAL ScHLEY's reception at the Lo-
tos club was the social feature of the sea-
son and his description of Cervera's ami
hiIation graphic and thrilling. The Adj
miral's native modesty is delineatory of
all he says of himself in or out Of service,
and he Stunned all credit for himself
while layishing it upon his superiors and
his comrades and subordinates. At the
same time, his statements were new and
astounding and easily put on the defens-
i've every effort to belittie his part in the
battle for the advantage of any one else.
His statement that after receiving the
surrender Of the Colon Admiral Samp-
son sailed up and, pointing off to what
he believed was the spanish warship Pa
layo. said, 'sSchiey, take the Oregon, at
tack her, and finish the job, !" was new
and startling, and will put somebody to
the trouble either Of denying its truth or
to explain the absence of SO important an
incident from the official reports of the
naval action of July 3.

The unfortunate scandal which has
disgraced and almost wrecked the fire
department at Summit brings to mind a
somewhat similar experience in Morris
town which happily occurred many
years ago. In both cases the liberation
of liquor and gambling in the houses of
the fire companies was the cause of all
the trouble, and wherever this exists in
fire department it means, sooner or
later, disorganization and disgrace.
Generally speaking. the fire companies
of Morristown have endeavored to main
tain high standard in this respect, and
no feeling of good nature or good fellow
ship should be allowed to lead members
of the fire department to countenance or
permit irregularities committed by un-
worthy persons who in one way or
another occasionally manage to have
themselves enrolled as firemen.

THE END.

When the Congress has approved and
confirmed the conclusions of the Paris
Peace Commission there will finally have
been ended the most remarkable war of
all history Two naval and two land
battles only marked its unprecedentedly
brief duration of nine active weeks.
The Americans lost in naval action
one man killed and eight wounded. The
Spaniards lost in action nineteen ships
and 5000 marines, killed, wounded and
prisoners. In battle the American army
lost about 1900, and the Spaniards 34,-
600 in killed, wounded and prisoners. In
the East and in the West. 1900 miles
apart, one decisive naval and one decisive
land battle at each extreme make up the
four great American victories of war in
which no conflict occurred within one
thousand miles of the territory of the
United States and during which the Am
erican land and naval forces did not lose
ship, a gun or, except Hobson's Merri-
mac party of eight, prisoner. The to-
tai loss to Spain was her army and navy,
her West Indian and Pacific colonies, ag-
gregating 100, 900 square miles and some
100000 of population, her money loss
being estimated at 81, 900 ,oOO,o 600. The
cost of the war to the United States was
about 1928 GOO, 900; the gain in territory,
population, wealth and prestige, is beyond
the scope of computation at this stage.

remains. The State authorities declared
the disease to be diphtheria, which has
resulted in the closing of the public
school, and fearing possible epidemic
of the dread disease many parents are,
naturally, very much concerned. It
would appear that gross carelessness
exists both on the part of the physicians
having the case in hand and the Board
of Health of Washington.
