Free Library a Necessity.

To the Editor of the CHRONICLE:
I have read with interest the article in
a recent CHRONICLE on the free library
plan, and | repeat the question, "Why
is it that Morristown cannot have free
circulating library?" A town the size
of this town, and the millionaires who
reside here, and yet we cannot have a
free library. When towns the size of
Madison, Paterson, ETC., have or are
going to lave libraries, Morristown
can't. There is very good library here,
but it is too costly for the average school
boy who has to save up" to buy his
school utensils or some other unforeseen
things which are not supplied by the
school. 1t would be the greatest ad
vantage to the boys and girls outside of
the public school, also to the student
and business man. Push along the pro-
ject for a free library for Morristown,
it would be of great advantage to all.

Weather aud Crop Conditions !.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., May is, 1899
The observers and crop correspondents
report for the week ending Monday, May
Is, that the temperature has been slightly
above the normal. Although the nights
generally were little to cool for grass
and tender vegetation, the days were
warm, with more than the average
amount of sunshine. Well distributed
rains on the 8th and 18th were of meal
culable benefit to all vegetation, espe,,-
tally in the southern counties, where it
was most needed. Strawberries are now
safe, and good crop is assured; sweet
potatoes, cabbages and tomatoes set out
in the fields are in good condition; grain
and grass are improving, and rye in all
sections is heading out we'll, but the
straw is short. In the central and north.
ern counties much corn and potatoes
have been planted; oats are up and grow
ing, and garden making about complet-
ed; orchard fruits are doing we'll, the
trees have good set for fruit Reports
from Hunterdon and Sussex counties in
dictate that the outlook for peaches is
decidedly more encouraging. Although
the set is below the average, the prospects
are that fairly good crop will be secured.

To the Editor of the Chronicle.

To the Editor of the Chronicle.
At the last meeting OF our Board of
Chosen Freeholders it was resolved to
have the monthly and quarterly reports
printed in pamphlet form. by the lowest
bidder, and circulated, intead of being
published in the newspapers. Perhaps
this may be saving, but how many
people will see them in pamphlet form ?
How are they to be circulated? And
are they to be mailed to the voters of the
county? If so, who will do it, and will
not the postage amount to more thanwhat
they think will be saved? According to
my way of thinking, the reports will be
read just about as much as our state
laws are, since they have been taken
from the newspapers Perhaps the idea
is not to have the the public Informed
any more than possible what amount of
money is demanded and where it goes to.
If this supposition is correct, then the
idea is good one The sum Of $500 was
allowed for janitor for taking care of
the heating apparatus in the county build
ings. Now | would suggest the saving
of this amount, by setting to work
some of the lazy inmates of the Jail who
are there for minor offences and who
spend the larger part of the day loung-
ing around the County buildings.

virgil clavier Plano Method.

In another column appears the adver-
tisement of Mrs M. A. Bosworth, teacher
of the virgil clavier system of piano
playing. Mrs. Bosworth is graduate
of the Virgil School and was a teacher
before studying this method. She will
be at the Mansion House on Tuesday
and Friday of each week where those
interested will be received or letters
may be sent to that address. The short
time necessary to learn to play the
piano by this method is really remarkably
but as the Virgil Clavier was introduced
in this country and Europe some years
ago comment is not necessary. Mrs.
Westover Alden. vice president of the
Woman's Press Club of New York, says
of Mrs. Bosworth: ''She is piano
teacher of wide experience, aud I take
pleasure in giving my name as reference.
/ have known Mrs Bosworth for fifteen
years, and do not hesitate to recommend
her as an instructor. She is especially
successful in teaching children. >"

For this was dolly's natal day.
To her, her babe was loving-loved.
And every thing in realness moved.
Though hers. the thoughts and words and

Were dolly's own-as true as creeds.
Then she invited me to stay
And celebrate that natal day.
Awoke my soul to truth and powerl
Shall not use the passing hourY
Is there no love for liutng mem
Can not find. with thought or pen
Or deed, some life to bless and fill,
Where emptiness exists-until
see my child a rag embrace
And kiss it's soiled and painless facef
Have liuina men no love for me,
Nor for them sweet charityY
Can not help along the road
A creature imaged after Godf
Should weeks and days and hours speed,
Unknown to loving word or deed,
When baby finds hearts content
Within a dolls habiliment?

A WISE ORDINANCE.

THE ordinance adopted by the Board
of Excise Commissioners for this town,
If rigidly enforced as it certainly ought
to be, will put an end to the selling of
liquor during prohibited hours, at least
so far as the bar room is concerned. In
several saloons screens of permanent
nature have already been erected in
anticipation of the passage of this ordin-
ance, which has been expected for the
last six months, as the Excise Commits
sioners had publicly expressed them
selves as being in favor of it. These
should either be entirely removed or
made movable to- comply with the in

COLONIAL DAYS.
Claims Presented by Morris County Rest

Revolutionary War.

Claims Presented by Morris County Resi-
dents for Losses Sustained During the
Revolutionary War.
Some time ago an interesting discov-
cry was made in the State Library of a
record of claims, presented by residents
of Morris county, for losses sustained by
the Continental army. All patriotic
Americans are interested in everything
connected with the Revolution, and as
the CHRONICLE has had most to do with
this find. it determined that its readers
should have the benefit of the discovery.
The old, musty papers has been deci-
phered with some difficulty, but they
have fully repaid for all the labor be-
slowed. They are the records of more
than a hundred years ago. Apart from
their historic value, they are instructive
as giving glimpses of the mode of life of
those who proceeded us by many gene
rations in the march of life; they afford
ideas of the values of articles used in
every day life. The names of those who
are now with us enjoying our respect
and confidence, will be found here, and
among them will be recognized some
who are remembered with respect and
veneration,
Below will be found continuation of
the records, and other extracts will APP
pear weekly until the whole is completed:

able man, is the illogical candidate" for

house, the sage of the Democratic Hack

that it will be the survival of the fttest

be considered ais being the onl.5 bin
whSch this legislature should consider
on the subject.
