WATER MELONS.

The melons now offered in the mar
kets are from New Jersey The ship
ment of melons from the South has
been unprecedented. During one
week in the middle of the Southern
season $50 car loads were received in
New York, aggregating $50, 900
melons; as consequence the prices in
the Metropolis, have dropped almost
out Of sight. In many Instances the
returns were not large enough to pay
the freight.

WHIPPANY ROAD REALTY.
Changes and Improvements Noticed Along
this Pleasant Drive.


this Pleasant Drive.
With the advent of macadam roads
there has been marked increase in
the value of realty fronting on
or Immediately adjacent to them.
Perhaps nowhere has the improve
ment been more noticeable than on
Norris avenue, in this city, and its
continuation, the Whippany road, to
the thriving village Of Whippany.
The recent improvements comprise an
extension to the residence of James
f. Maury, on Washington Place, the re-
modelling of the Dodge homestead pur-
chased by W. G.. Wheelock and its re-
moval from behind knoll, to more
desirable location on the same proper
| ty. The pretty cottage on the Cobb
estate, built by Mrs. John Keuhl, faces
'sThe Anchorage, owned by Mrs A.
Mel. Dewitt, and which, although a
new house. has been changed so that
the former lines have disappeared and
the place is one of the most attrac-
tive on that road Mrs. Joseph F.
Moore has just bought fine building
site of Miss Mary G. and Fl. Anna
Lindsley, upon which handsome
residence will be erected as soon as
the architect, Robert G. Walsh, can
prepare plans and procure estimates.
The woodland belonging to the Lind
sley estate, between St. Mary's Ceme-
tary and Fairholme, Mrs. Julius
Catlins beautiful summer home, has
been sold within fortnight to par
ties who will at once improve it.
The Morris Aqueduct Co., whose
pipes already extend nearly to Mon
roe, is replacing the old pipes with
8-inch mains and new fire hydrant
will be located at the city line. With
gas, electric light and aqueduct service
and magnificent view of the Wat
nong Mountains, and the grand hills
which sweep from Boonton to Cald-
we'll it is not surprising that so many
improvements are under way at the
present time, nor is it strange that a
number are contemplated in the fu-
ture.
The Morristown School property is
all ready for the season which will
shortly open. The grounds have been
improved, while the changes made to
the athletic track and grounds will
doubtless be appreciated by the boys.
Monroe, formerly the dullest
village in the county, has blossomed
out with several new and pretty cot
tages, while everywhere a spirit Of
enterprise is apparent.
The Chronicle has so frequently
spoken of the new life at Whippany
that it is not necessary to call attention
to it again. However, Robt. B. McEwen
has plans about ready for a fine resi-
| dence which he will build ON the w.
o. Freeman property. 1t is adapted
from one of the tasteful summer
homes recently erected at Allenhurst.
Mr.. Walsh is preparing set of
plans for Richard B. McEwen's house
which will be built in close proximity
to those of his brothers, Robert and J..
L. McEwan.
Three building sites only remain un-
sold on the westerly side of the knoll
fronting the Whippany road, between
the city line and Frelinghuysen hill,
and overlooking the beautiful valley of
the Whippany River.
The real estate and improvements
mentioned aggregate not less than
$175, 600, the direct result of improved
streets and roads

over a coal stove or range. A few
Of its advantages are:

be done over each burner.
The expense of running a Gas

latter, with convenience and com
fort thrown in, SO to speak.
The articles which have appeared

favoring the use Of gas for fuel, have
been based on facts which cannot be

EDITORIAL OPINIONS ON
THE DEWEY INTERVIEW

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Herald
has received the following editorial
opinions on the Dewey interview:
Chicago Evening Post-Brevity is the
soul of wit, but amplification and qualifi-
cation are conditions of a right under
standing. The context of the admiral
statements. one feels sure, if intelligeptly
supplied would take the apparent sting
out Of them. What the admiral was led
to observe was, we infer, something ike
ths-that while the United States was at
peace with every European nation and
had no reason to anticipate trouble, fric-
tion in the future was more likely TO oc-
cur in relations with Germany than IN
those with Great Britain or any other
power
The Tribune-Unless Admiral Dewey has
gone crazy he has said nothing of the
sort. 1t is true that his relations with the
German Admiral Won Diederichs were not
as pleasant as those with the commander
of the British naval forces. 1t may be
that in his heart he believes that England
is "the natural ally" of the United States.
ST. Paul Globe-Admiral Dewey, never
chapeau, the Globe will refuse for the
present to believe that the chief officer of
the American navy has said our next war
will be with Germany.
The Volks Zeitung-The correspondent
who has telegraphed from Trieste that
Admiral Dewey has said Americas next
war will be with Germany has not even
learned to lie plausibly.
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin-This kind
of talk does not cOmport with the general
understanding of Dewey's good sense and
his sense of official propriettes of his pro-
fesson. 1t is not at all unlikely that he
said it, but he probably never thought
that it was going to find it's way into
print.
German Gazette-Certainly Admiral
Dewey has not said this, or anything sim
liar to it. The whole country has so far
admired the admiral for his diplomatic
silence. and we doubt that he has broken
Sonntags JournaI-We don't believe
Admiral Dewey was correctly quoted, and
if he was he is in error as 10 the policy
of Germany.
EditoT Tageblatt, Socialist organ-I
hardly believe Admiral Dewey said there
will be a war with Germany. There Is no
reason for such a war: The masslng OF
German warships in Manila Bay during
tho late war was certainly a foolish act,
calculated to irritate the people Of the
United States. 1t was entirely the action
of the Emperor, who is very rash young
man.
and so never said any such thing. Ger
many wants no war with us.
Editor Wastlche Post, ST. Louis-I am
convinced that the interview does not
represent the real sentiments of Dewey.
Dewey's denial follows close on the pub
licat0n of the interview serious results
will follow There will be every reason
to believe that the interview was in
spired by the state authorities. and that
they have followed the advice of the Eng
lish and concluded to have war with Ger
many.
Post -Dispatch-If it is true that Admiral
Dewey has predicted that our next war
will be with Germany 1t is much to be
regretted. Such an utterance from so
popular a hero encourages the war spirit,
which is generally all too active in every
part of the world.

Reception to the Visiting Turner's at the

Verein entertained the gathering with
some excellent singing, and F. Attinger,
chairman Of the committee on arrange
ments. made a short speech in German.
He welcomed the turner's, not only to
celebration among the Germans, but
among the Americans, so that they
might illustrate to the latter the bene
fits of physical culture according to the
German system. President John Sim
men of the San Francisco Turn Verein
welcomed the turner's on behalf of that
organization, and the speechmaking
closed with a few remarks by Mr..
Maret.
The turner's began arriving from the
interior early in the forenoon and they
kept coming by almost every train un-
til by nightfall they were in complete
and undisputed possession of the city.
First came a double delegation of $50

were followed early in the afternoon by
500 more from Napa, Stockton and San

ANOTHER ADVANCE IN
PRICE OF LUMBER
It Goes Up so Cents Straight and the
Demand Continues to Ex-
ceed the Supply.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 29.-The Times
Will say tomorrow: Lumber will advance
another 50 cents straight on Monday, this
being the fifth marked advance in price.
1t has been many years since there was
such demand as the present season has
shown, and even with the advancing
prices the demand continues to exceed the
supply. In the case of the elevator build
ers, who are using "crihbing' in great
quantities, there seems to be an end of
things, and it appears that they will soon
have to resort either to the higher grade
cribbing, which is almost too expensive
for the purpose, or take to steel for ele-
Vator building.
There have been but few years when so
much activity has been shown in the ele-
vator business. This is partly attributed
to the growth of new towns along the
Great Northern in Northern Minnesota.
and the Minneapolis and St. Louis in the
southern part. and partly to the excellent
wheat prospects this season.
