County Clerk Voorhees, has received
the following decisions from Internal
Revenue Collector Rutan:
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, in reply TO an inquiry as to what
internal revenue stamps must be placed
on bond accompanying real estate
mortgage has decided that the bond
accompanying real estate mortgage is
subject TO taxation under the law and
the denomination of the stamp required

the Commissioner that bond accom-
panying mortgage is nothing more nor
less than to pay so much money and tax
able as promissory note.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, in reply to an inquiry as to whether
Acknowledgements of deeds or mortgages
that are not stamped must themselves be
stamped, has decided that the acknowledge
ment to deed or mortgage does not re-
quire stamp in any event.

OBITUARY.
sILAs LINpsLEY ARMSTRONG.


Another sudden death shocked the
community yesterday morning that of
Silas L. Armstrong, which occurred at
his home on Mt. Kemble road late the
previous evening. Mr.. Armstrong had
been about town during the day. Short
ly before retiring he remarked to his
family that he s'felt better than he had
for years." Half an hour later call
was heard from his bed room, response
was made at once, but heart disease had
ended long and useful life.
Born on the spot where he died sixty
five years ago, of family for years
prominent in the community, in which
he had for years been leading business
man, the death of Mr.. Armstrong leaves
vacancy not easily filled. He was a
practical brick manufacturer, having
successfully conducted that business on
Mt. Kemble road for over forty years.
1t is safe to say that eighty per cent. of
the brick used for building purposes in
Morristown and the immediate vicinity
for nearly half century came from
'sArmstrong's brick yards.
He married Miss Susan Overton of this
city. Besides a widow deceased leaves a
son, Frederick, and three daughters,
Mrs. Frederick Schraudenback, Mrs.
Thomas Sands and Miss Addie. The
funeral services will be held at his late
residence on Monday at II o'clock.

Successful Meetings :. the Mission.


Meetings are being held in the Market
Street Missions new building every
night and the attendance is such as to
affirm their popularity. The attendance
at the 10 o'clock mems meeting Saturday
night was particularly encouraging.
During the past week several men were
cared for, but in every instance they
earned the relief by working in or about
the building. Only the more deserving
cases can hope to receive attention now
as the facilities are not yet completed for
the accommodation of many persons at
one time.
IT is stated that the Third New Jersey
Volunteers who were in camp at Athens
instead of Cuba will soon be mustered
out OF service.

tlon has dropped out of sight. The demo-
cratic party seems to be in state of collapse.
The lines of demarkaton between the two
parties have been largely wiped out by war.
My position has been to give the president
the greatest power and freedom possible in
the beginning and continuance of hostilities.
Some people deplore war and are of the
opinion that we should never permit the
martial spirit to become more powerful than
the desire for peace. But the war has
brought the two sections of the country into
close relations and this uniflcation seems to
m6to be worth all the war has thus far, at
least, cost. 1t has shown, too, that we have
many heroes in this country and has opened
the eyes of the world or of that part of ii that
has never fully understood this country.
What shall we do with our new possessions
when the war is over; Shall we turn them
over to the Spanish people again; Never.
This war was instituted for freedom of Cuba
ana if in It's prosecution we get possession of
others of Spain's colonies and at the same
time liberate other people we must say that
Providence is giving the war wider scope
than we expected. We need Porto Rico as n
base of supplies, and the same is true of Ma
nila, to which some day we will give the
name OF Dewey. And with Manila, who fails
to see the necessity of the possession of
Hawaii as n halfway station? il has long
been a dependency of this country and is all
the time being drawn into closer relationship
with us. people like ours can be depended
on to govern these new possessions as Will
best serve the moral and business Interests OF
the United States.
