OBITUARY.
MISS MAGGIE N. IRoNsIpE.

The death on Friday morning Of
Miss Maggie M, youngest daughter of
Mrs. Euphemia Ironside and sister of
Thomas B. Ironside, the well known
superintendent of the Market Street
Mission, seemed particularly sad, al
though in reality it was happy release
from the years of suffering which had
been borne bravely and with great pa
tience. Miss Ironside was born in Aber-
deem, Scotland, where she spent the
early days of her life. After graduating
from the Normal School of Glasgow,
she taught in London, England, and at
Helensburgh, Scotland, until failing
health compelled her to relinquish teach
ing, which she thoroughly enjoyed and
for which she was so well fitted.
Mrs. and Miss Ironside arrived a
month ago, purposing to spend some
time with Mr.. Ironside before proceed
ing to Uitenhage, Cape Colony, South
Africa, where daughter resides, the
wife of the principal of the Muir
Academy, the leading educational insti-

grippe upon her arrival, followed by
complications incidental to hip disease,
she saw but little of the place in which
her brother has SO long been useful and
honored resident, although she remarked
soon after her arrival that 'sit seemed
to be bonnie town." The funeral SER
vices were held on Monday afternoon, the
Rev. DR.. Albert Erdman officiating.
The pail bearers were Judge Vreeland,
Ex-Judge Willard w. Cutler, Augustus
w. Bell, Harrie B. Hoffman, Frank
w Milford and J. Frank Lindsey.
The floral tributes were both numerous
and beautiful. Interment was made in
Evergreen Cemetery.

A BIG PROJECT.
County Poor Farm to Supply Water
for Jersey City.

Although not publicly announced it is
known that the County Poor House farm
of $50 acres at Parsippany, is being pur-
chased by Benjamin F. Crane for the
East Jersey Water Company The
price to be paid is all the Board of Free
holders asked, and $50, 600 is considered
a good sum for the property.
It is reported that dam will be built
and the water SO held will form a storage
reservoir. The right of way for laying
pipes to Jersey City could be obtained by
condemnation. The Rockaway river and
its adjacent water shed forms the
nucleus for the reservoir. The project
will give employment to many hundred

Drinking Fountain to Remain Open.

The attention of the public is called to
the fact that the drinking fountain on the
Green has been left open for the winter.
Members of the S. P. C. A. have noticed
in past winters the number of dogs
that have sought water in dry basin,
Horses that are out for any length of
time must need it as well. It has been
observed that some fountains in the
larger cities hold water all winter, and
as only constant flow of water through
the basin is required to prevent freezing,
the society resolved to apply for the priv
ilege of keeping one Morristown foun-
tain open through the winter months.
By the generosity Of the directors of the
Morristown Aqueduct Co. this request
has been granted, free use of water being
given from December to April 1. The
Mayor has also kindly approved.

The Liar and the Storm.

During the storm Sunday night,
ye scribe, who sleeps on the impos-
ing stone, with an old exchange for a
pillow, entertained no fears of the
Mail office being blown away by the
wind. Owing to the fact that there
is such heavy mortgage on the
building, which was sufficient weight
to hold it down, he only aroused
from his slumbers long enough te

around in the press room, and hang

Star Spangled Banner.

A good story is told Of a big fine
music box which was the properly of
the Spanish club, an organization of
officers in Santiago, before the cap
ture of the town. This music box
played one air which was the favorite
Of the club. 1t was frequently called
for during the siege and always heard
by the music lovers of the club with
pleasure. On the morning of July
II, when the American flag was hoist
ed over the town, the band Of the
Sixth cavalry played that very air
and then the Spanish officers learned
that that blessed music box had been
giving them the "star Spangled
Banner" ."-Grand Forks Plaindea]er.

Some Good Will Come.

Before the United States court the
rate cases are yet pending. Since
their commencement there has been
so much education and so much agi-
tation. that, however the Judge may
decide, the discussion will go on; the
law of the state will be perfected; the
people will continue TO inform them
selves, and the reforms instituted in
North Dakota will be taken up in
other states. And the outcome of it
all will be the establishment Of the
rule Of the people. So that-as d f.
