WARDS FATHER ARRESTED
Charged with Provoking an Assault
Upon Maurice Hannifan,
the Duelist.

An echo OF the duel with knives that
occurred between Pete Ward and Maurice
Hannifan recently reverberated through
the police court yesterday when the city
prosecutor filed a complaint charging that
Pat Ward, father OF Pete Ward, provoked
an assault upon Maurice Hannifan.
1t seems that the old man was the cause
Of the famous fight, and he will have a
chance to explain how 1t all happened. A
witness to the transaction states that he
heard Ward tell his son Pete to ''go after
Hannifan and get him. A mar Of the
name Of Christopher endeavored to stop the
fight, and he says that the old man jumped
upon him and choked him so he had to
desist. Ward and Hannifan are both bound
over to the district court on the charge
OF assaulting with intent to do great bodily
harm.

theft, 3 o'clock. His wife lay down for
a nap and slept until supper time. Beneath

A TREE COMMISSION.

The Mayor of Passaic has appointed a
shade tree Commission. 1t comprises
three members who are to serve five,
four and three years respectively, with
out salary.
An appropriation of five hundred dol
lars has been made for the current year,
which will be used for the care of shade
trees, trimming, etc.
The Commission has the power to
plant new shade trees, to replace dead
ones and to plant shade trees on streets
where there are none; in the latter in-
stance the expense is assessed upon
the property benefited.
We believe tree commission would
be of much service to Morristown and
feel quite sure that the action of the
Board of Aldermen in providing for such,
would meet the hearty approval of the
public. A few hundred dollars wisely
expended each year, would add greatly
to'the appearance of the town, as we'll as
to the comfort of our citizens.

STRIKES A FAILURE.

The two greatest labor strikes of the
year, those of street-railway employees
in New York and Cleveland have
run their course. In both cases
violence was resorted to by the strikers
and their friends, and both were sup
pressed by force, the one in New York
by the police and the one in Cleveland,
which is not quite ended yet, by state
troops ordered out by the local authorizes.
After all the experience of the past, it
is surprising that workingmen or wage
earners of any kind should persist in
trying to insure the success of a strike
by resorting to violence. If they would
stop to think and would recall the his
tory of past efforts of the kind they
would see that this is the way of all
others to insure the failure of strike.
If force and violence can be rightly
resorted to by one set of workmen to
carry their point, they may by another
and if by workmen, then by employers,
and the result would be anarchy. There
is absolutely no justification for a resort
to force in any labor trouble, and it
ought to insure the speedy failure of any
strike, as it almost invariably does.

REGARDING the arrest of a bootblack

Last Sunday boy was arrested for

for having committed the crime. But
the livery stables were open and horses
were hired; ice cream saloons were open
and ice cream was sold; newstands
were open and newspapers were disposed
of; cigars stores were open and cigars
were sold. What greater injury was the
bootblack doing to society than any Of
the four branches of business mentioned
above? We are unable to tell"

"SAME HERE"

Judging from some local specimens
that have been brought to our notice we
feel good deal like endorsing the fol-
lowing from a recent issue of the Hack
ensack Republican,
Penmanship is becoming lost art in
the public schools, where a multiplicity
of studies gives the pupil smatterlng of
many things and finish in few. If the
chirography of some present-day gradu-
ates had been set before an old-time
schoolmaster of the better class, the
young idea would have been minus ten
points in the general average upon which
the comforting of diploma is based.
Some of the so-called writing is merely
a system of scrawls that suggest hand
twitched by st. Vitus' dance-a distor-
ton of letters formed with pen and ink
under the influence of mind craving
for abnormal novelty; photographic
freak of higher education. 1t indicates
that one of the "three Rs" is being sad
ly neglected in the free public. schools.

THE Louisville Courier-J Journal, edited

"The fact that firm of thirty years,
experience, and backed with ample CAPT
tai, has leased building here and ar
ranged to begin extensive operations in
the manufacture of plug tobacco is only
another proof that the big industrial
combinations have had their powers fol-
harm exaggerated. This factory is tc
be on larger scale than most of those
which have been started in opposition tc
the attempted monopolization of the
trade, but it is only one of many. 1t is
an impossibility in this country of colos-
sal enterprise and abundant capital for
any syndicate to maintain control of a
business field in which profits are large.
1t may be secured for time, but it can
not be held"

WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL.

Comparisons are very numerous
throughout the state between the young
man at Ridgewood, who sometime ago
stole twenty five cents, for which he is
now serving term in States Prison,
and ex-Cashier Valentine who stole any
where from quarter to third of a
million of dollars, for which he is serv-
ing six years sentence. From this, if
he is 'real good" about two years will be
deducted. There should be something
more than talk of impeaching the officials
of that county. Another matter that
strikes the public as being somewhat
peculiar, is that no explanation is made
of where the stolen funds went. Per-
haps this had something to do with the
railroad speed attending Valentines ar

Cleveland, Aug. 4.-The withdrawal of

last night by another dynamiting outrage,

at the side. The passengers were badly
frightened but none were injured, and

of the run.

A NEW KLONDYKE.

Sergeant Rogers of Millville, who was
among the first soldiers ordered to the
Philippines, recently wrote an interest
ing letter to the Nel0s of that place, from
which we quote:
'sWhen people in the States claimed
that the United States made mistake
in taking the Philippine Islands, they
know not what they are speaking about,
as to my notion they will prove to be the
greatest acquisition that we have made
during the war or in the past century.
''Iu a few years people will forget
Alaska as country of gold, for the rea-
son that this country will develop to be
the greatest gold region known. Exper-
fenced miners of the different western
regiments are only waiting for peace to
be restored that they may go to the hills.
Copper, both dust and in Jumps, is to be
found nearly everywhere but the princi-
pal deposits are in the central chain of
Luzon, between Cagayan and llocos. It
is worked very primitively by the Igor
rotes. Galena is also met with. as we'll
as petroleum and iron ore. Coal of the
Philippines is found at bra, Camarines,
Batan and Sorsogon The best comes
from the Island of Batan, aud its caloric
property is as great as the Cardiff coal
There is also large quantity in the
Island of Cebu. The production of these
mines is large, for with a superficial area
of several tens of thousands of square
miles. there is not village that does
not possess shaft.
THE total output is about 100000
tons, or about the amount of what is
consumed"

A /" SERVICE THAT SERVES"
CERTAINLY.

The Banner labors through a column
editorial in an attempt to convince its
readers that trolley would not be bene-
fetal unless it afforded ga service that
serves" The CHRONICLE has all along
maintained that if franchise were
granted to the Morris County or any
traction Company, one of its require
ments would be that that kind of ser
vice must be provided, including trans
fers.
AS to running business in Morrist own,
that is simply idle talk, entirely unsup-
ported by facts. Morristown has a
large territory from which to draw trade
and it is perfectly safe to say that an up
to date trolley service would not inter.
fere either with its business or residen-
tial interests, but on the contrary would
increase both.
