Lillian BELL AS A SAILOR.
She Says She Travels Better Fiat
When yoyaEing on the Ing
lish Channel.

In crossing the channel there is every
thing in knowing how, writes Lillian
Bell, describing her yachting expert
ences on the English channel in the
Ladies' Home Journal. I have dis
carded the private stateroon. 1t is too
expensive, and am not bit less un-
comfortable than when occupying six
feet of the settee in the ladies' cabin,
with my feet on the flowers of another
woman's hat In fact, prefer the lat
ter. The other woman is always too i'll
to protest or to move. / have now, by
long and patient practice, proved to my
own satisfaction what serves me best
in case of seasickness. I will not stay
on deck. I will not eat or drink any
thing to cure it. I will not take any
thing 10 prevent it. I will not sit up,
and will not keep my hat on. When
go ON board of channel steamer my
first act is to shake hands with my
friends and go below. There present
the stewardess with modest testimo-
nial Of my regard. I also give her my
ticket Then l select the most desir-
able portion of the settee, near port
hole, from which I can get fresh air.
I take off my hat and lie down. The
steamer may not start for an hour. No
matter. There am. and there stay.
The channel may be as smooth as glass,
but travel better fat Like manu-
script, I ON not to be rolled. Some
times am not i'll at all, but freely con-
fees that those times are infrequent and
disappointing.

ARMlSTlCE MEANS NOTHING.
Gen. Correa, Spanish Minister of War, Lets
the Cat Out of the Bag.

Gen. Correa, Spanish Minister of War, Lets
the Cat Out of the Bag.
MADRID, April 11.-El impartial says
that Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of
war, in q conversation Saturday with
several people expressed himself as
follows:
''It is an error to say that the gov
ernment has granted an arnistica to
the rebels. l would never give that
before leaving the ministry, because
it would be the same thing as recog-
nizing the belligerency of the rebels.
The government has granted the
wishes of the powers that we should
cease hostilitics during the day which
Gen. Blanco judges prudent for pre-
pairing peace. l acceded to a cessation
of hostlities, becaus, to refuse the
wishes of the powers would be to di-
vorce Spain from the world. If left
the cabinet l should be placing my
successor in an awkward position.
Gen. Blanco will probably publish
a proclamation of truce, and also an
other Offering indulgent terms during
the cessation of hostilities. If. during
this period, there are important sub
missions and the United States with
draws its ships from the neighbor
hood of Cuba and the Philip
pines, all will be well and peace
will soon be reached. Otherwise
the Cuban war will continue, and
the powers will be obliged to demand
that the United States maintain abso-
Lutte neutrality and enforce dissolu-
tion of the tilibustering committee in
New York. The armistice is not to
prevent the Spanish government con-
tinuing its military preparations and
placing the peninsula, the Canaries,
the Belaeric islands and Puerto Rico
in a state of defense"

NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

Change in the Operation of the GamewelI
system to Go Into Effect Tomorrow
Arrangements are about completed for
the new working of the Gamewelf fire
alarm system by storage batteries To-
Gated at the plant of the Morris
County Electric Company. During the
week the Gamewell expert, Alfred Far
rand, and assistant have been placing
the new storage plant and switchboard
at the station under direction of City
Electrician Pierson, and the new system
will go into effect tomorrow. Its ad-
vantages over the old methods of electric
cells are manifold, and at the same time
its arrangement allows three separate
circuits intead of general circuit, that
is, all boxes north of Market and Water
sts., are on Circuit No. and all south on
No. 2; all alarms at each fire house, the
court house bell and police headquarters =
are on Circuit No. g. In case Of accident
on any part of the system only one cir
cult need be out of use, the difficulty
may be located and repairs may be made
more speedily.
The power for the system will be
furnished by eighty-eight storage bat
teries arranged in two sections, one Sec
ton being in use while the other is
being charged, which will be done night
ly by the use of a smaH generator,
operated in turn by small electric
motor. The system has no connection
whatever with the electric light plant or
wires, and there can be no possible
danger from it's use. Near the storage
batteries will be located a fine switch
board with galvanometer for the testing
of the ground circuit, neutral relay for
regulating the current to the storage bat
teries, rheostat to control the current
and throw its strength where needed,
electric lights, etc., and the entire sys-
tenn is fused extraordinarily for general
safety. 1t will be decided improve
ment in Morristown Fire Department
matters, and at cost Of only about $3.50,
with the low rate of 800 per year for
rental and power.

Crops In Morris County.

Howard E. Young, State statistical
agent for Morris county, reports for the
month of July as to crops in this county
that the condition of buckwheat, corn
pasture and clover is 100 per cent; hay
at 100 per cent. and oats at so, and pots-
toes at so. Upland hay is fully up to
the standard, but harvesting has been
retarded by the cloudy weather of the
past two weeks. The oat crop is very
poor and straw short. What apples
there are are falling from the trees
rapidly and are Of poor quality. The
second crop of clover is nearly ready to
gather. Potatoes are becoming affected
with blight.

Lightning Strikes Fire Alarm system.

Wednesday nights electrical storm
damaged the Gamewell fire alarm sys-

hours, during which time the police
officers were in touch with the electric
light works for the immediate blowing
of the whistle in case of fire. The break
occurred on the Morris street line.
Lightning struck box SO at Washing

fused the No 10 copper wire and took to
the ground in front of Pruden & Burke's
yard. For a few seconds the noise was
tremendous and unearthly and reused
the neighbors even to fright. Frank E.

the night testing for the break, which
he soon located and repaired, so that the
entire system was in working order at 8
o'clock yesterday morning

~THE VICTORY SEEMS TO BE BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL,(
ANOTHER LANDMARK GOES

The Old ST. Peter's Church Rectory Being
Torn Down-Balf Century of Service.
Workmen commenced tearing down
the old parsonage of the st. Peters
Church on South street, and the excava-
tion for the new rectory to be constructed
on the church property facing Boyken
street was simultaneously commenced
this week. The old building, which has
served as the parsonage for almost fifty
years, was in its time a fine old structure
The records of the vestry show that first
action as to its erection was taken at a
meeting of the vestry held November Il,
1S47, Rev. Charles w. Rankin, rector,
presiding, Others present were D. I.
Garfield and Henry A. Ford, wardens,
and Jacob w. Miller, VIM. A. Duer,
Jacob M. King, Nathan w. Condict,
Isaac w. Garfield, Joseph Lowell and
Davis V. Garfield, vestrymen. At this
meeting it was
'sResolved, That committee be ap-
pointed to recommend suitable site on
the church grounds, together with plan
for parsonage and estimate of expenses
of building one whether of stone, brick
or wood, within the means of the vestry,
say not to exceed s., 2,300."
The committee appointed consisted of
''Nathan w. Condict of the vestry and
George Vail and Geo. B. Macculloch of
the congregation" They reported their
work at the next meeting of the vestry,
held December IA, 1S47, and were con-
tinued as building committee. At
this meeting it was decided to build the
parsonage of stone, ''that it be built on
the church grounds between the church
edifice and the old parsonage; that it
front on South street, its front to be not
further back on the lot than the main
front of the church. at about twenty
feet distant from the old parsonage. "
AT the next meeting, December "a, the
committee reported its estimate of the
cost OF building, and was authorized to
make contracts.
Building operations on the new par
sonage commenced early in 1S48, and
the next reference to the building shown
in the vestry minutes beyond note of a
slight alteration in the roof, June 8, 1S4S,
occurs in the record of the meeting of
November 1, 184S, when "the Treasurer
submitted statement Orally that the
new parsonage, now nearly finished,
will cost about four thousand dollars,
and that the funds already provided
amounted to about three thousand two
hundred dollars, (" which shows that the
building was probably completed in this
year.
1t has stood its half century of service
well and many who have come to love it
for its association with the life of service
of many beloved rector of the flock are
sad to witness its demolishment.
