The Bosr and British War and Some Pos
sihle Results.

Boer and British can not longer both
remain in possession Of territory and
power in South Africa. Twice have the
Bocrs abandoned their homes and moved
farther into the interior to get away
from the hated Uitlanders. They can go
no farther. The stand must be made.
The people cannot, will not mix. 1t Is
absolute submission Of the one or the
other. England has deliberately sought
a war and the Beers knowing 1t IS IN
evitable have taken the initiation gain
ing some decided advantages. The
Beers of the Transvaal and Orange Free
State, who have defed The British empire,
number all told, men women and chill
dren, scarce 100000 souls, which in this
territory is a population of Uitlanders
mostly English, of fully 100000, but
these are unarmed, arms not being per-
mitted them and are practically pow
erless.
1t is the plan of the British war Off
GERS to place in the field in South Africa
an army that will outnumber the total
male population of the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State in the proportion
Of three to two. If no new diilculti''
confront them this army will make sho :
work of the Beers and the whole ques
ton will soon be settled; but this is re
all. South Africa is country OF mag
nifcent distances" Outside of the
Tr,nsyaal and the Orange Free STATE
there is a territory one half as large as
the United States where the agricul,
tural population are largely Beers
A general uprising among them is feared
But this is not the worst. The negro
population of this whole South African
country is several times the white popu
lation. They include Zulus and othel
great fighters in their day. They have
always been FESTIVE under restaint. I'm
der the dominion of Cecil Rhode
slavery practically exists over the whole
of Rhodesis, a territory OF 100000
square miles, and the other British
possession are not much better. /
negro uprising is not improbable S
that difficulties may thicken aroun'
her and the South African war ma
prove to be one of long duration i
spite of England's extensive preparation
The more deeply she becomes involves
there the more ready will France, Ru:
STA and Germany be to seize ports in Asi
or elsewhere now under British influence
Russia is now about to move on to tn
Persian gulf and in fact has never ia
tered from her avowed purpose OF NOV
ing southwark from her Asiatic posses
sions to the Indian ocean. This mu!
call off British trade and British lnhl
ence. She is now negotiating wit
Spain for Ceuta in Morocco opposit
Gibralter. In this she is backed at I'll
, court of Spain by France. With this
her possession she too can point her gut
across this famous channel. Englan
has no friend on the continent. Their
must come limit to her acquisition {
territory. This war may mean man
changes in the map of the world and
lessening of British power and influence

Cecil Rhodes, the man who has done
more than any other Englishman to give
the English-speaking race foot-hold in
South Africa, and hence is indirectly, if
not directly, responsible for the differ
ences between the British government
and President Kruger that have culmi-
mated in war, is the subject Of all elabor-
ate character sketch by Mr.. w. T.
Stead in the American Monthly Review
of Reviews for November. Mr.. Stead
was the original "discoverer" of Mr..
Rhodes and has for many years been on
terms Of intimacy with the millionaire
statesman. His sketch is the only au-
thentic biography Of Rhodes ever pub
lished.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARY.

The library of the church of the
Redeemer has been thoroughly re-
organized, and newly catalogued.
Old uninteresting books have been
weeded out by teachers understanding
the needs of children.
This was especially necessary to
make room for several hunderd new
contributions of carefully selected
books. The total number is now five
hundred and thirteen.
Among them are to be found relia-
BILE reference books, new histories for
young people, some biographies, and
a store of popular stories for the chill
dren adapted to their tastes and moral
development. There is also an excel
lent collection of modern books of
travel in foreign lands, and volumes
of some of our best poets such as
Longfellow and Whittier.
The school is indebted for the new
contributions to many, and as the col
lection is really so good new addi-
tions in the same way are we'll ap-
preciated.
The library is in the hands of com
petent librarians, whose duty and
pleasure it is to place these books in
the hands of children, or young peo-
pie wishing to enjoy them.

At the business meeting Wednesday
all the officers were reelected. They
are:
Mrs. H. W. Buxton, president; Mrs.
@. d. M. Cole, Miss Maude Perkins,
Miss Juliet Freeman, presidents; /;
Miss Anna Shaw, secretary, and Mrs.
Willard W. Cutler, treasurer.
The Needlework Guild of America
has often been alluded to as "Quiet
Charity" Just what it means is hard
to define. In most cases it is kept far
too quiet; in many places it has been
kept-so quiet that only favored few
know of it's existence. Even though
it may have been established in q
town for years there are some persons
who, if asked to contribute, would
reply: "The Needlework Guild, what
is that?" The N. G. of A. is now so
widespread that people cannot afford
to be ignorant of it. Organized in
1885, it has now some 400 branches
and last year was able to distribute
1858, 600 graments.
The Guild is intended for the sick
primarily, then for the infirm and the
very old or very young who have
neither capacity to help themselves or
friends to help them. After these it
helps all who cannot help themselves,
always remembering, however, that
careless giving undermines indepen-
dence and therefore really makes peo-
pie poorer by taking away their only
capital which is self-reliance and
energy. The Guild aims to think be-
fore giving to special cases.
The increasing demands of the Hos
pitfalls, kindergartens and other phil
anthropie organizations have been
gladly met by the Guild whose con-
tributions to the work of these insti-
tutions have been gratefully acknowl-
edged. While the Guild has worked
primarily for the supply of home
charities it has not rested there. As
sistance has been rendered to
several out of town institutions.
In commencing new ten years the
Guild has large aspirations. The
work can only be successfully pur-
sued by recruiting members In
Morristown the population is con-
stantly changing. Faces that were
here last year are gone this year and
new ones have taken their places. 1t
is desired to extend to the latter an
opportunity to take up this work.
The only condition of membership in
the Guild is two new articles of wear
ing apparel, or for household use,
contributed once a year.

SUBMARINE WARSHlP.
Naval Board Enthusiastic Over HOl-
lands Performances.

New York, Nov. 17.-That conditions
are ripe for great revolution in marine
warfare is the declaration of the govern
ment naval board which conducted the
tests of the submarine torpedo boat Hol-
land. The boards report made pub
lie last night, declares that the Holland
boat has solved the problem of subma-
rine warfare and practically announces
that the United States must give prom
inent place among it's naval fleets to the
underwater destroyers.
The report is signed by Rear Admiral
Rodgers, president of the examining
board, and there is appended a still more
remarkable report by Captain John
Lowe, U. S. ~, recorder of the board.
He declares that the naval forces of at
least two foreign powers, by sheer
strength of numbers, could destroy any
American fleet attempting to oppose in
vasion and convert Long Island speedily
into foreign possession.
The remedy he advises is the imme.
diate construction of 80 submarine war
vessels for the defense of Long Island
sound alone, these boats to be of half a
dozen different classes, suitable for the
various kinds of destructive work

..MAKING 1T PAY. .

1t is astonishing how business men
quibble and haggle newspaper in
order to get the very lowest possible
rate for space in their publication.
Ordinarily the man who is the most
particular about the price he pays for
his advertising space is the most care
less about using the space. The news
paper that makes a fiat rate, from
which it never varies, will have the
advantage in dealing with such bust
ness men. However justly publisher
may desire to deal with all his adver-
tisers, it is usually the advertiser
himself who fails to appreciate the
value of the space and who fails to
use ut to as good advantage as possi-
BILE. On fair basis and an equal
footing to start with, no two business
men will get the same value out of
their advertising space. Some will
handle the matter hastily and will be
disappointed in the results obtained !;
others will give thought and care to
the preparation of the matter, and
get the value from the space in their
newspaper, because they put value
into that space. The man who wants
to advertise and get profit from his
advertising will put into his an
nouncements that which will make
him money over and above the price
he pays the newspaper.

INSTITUTE TO REOPEN.

At meeting held on Monday the
Board of Trustees of Centenary Col
legiate Institute at Hackettstown de-
cided to reopen the institution next
Monday. The property was destroyed
by fire on the night of October 81,
and it was supposed by many that
school work would be suspended for
a year. But the citizens have opened
their best houses for the students and
the local churches have made available
their chapels for class room work, so
that the re-opening will occur under
conditions surprisingly favorable. All
but seventy of the students have
pledged themselves to return-an un-
wonted expression of loyalty.
The Newark Conference is to meet
in short time in Central Church of
that city under Bishop Vincent in a
special session to devise methods aud
means for promptly rebuilding.
There will be a group of buildings
erected at a cost exceeding $3.50, 000
The insurance money to be recovered
amounts to $116,O00 The board fur
ther expressed it's opinion that the
seat of the school should remain at
Hackettstown, and thus thrust aside
all offers of land and money from
several other competing towns.

MoRRIsTowN ALSO TROUBLED

The Plainfield Board of Health is
considering the propriety of forbid
ding the burning of leaves in the
streets for that city. 1t has received
many complaints from citizens, and
at a recent meeting Of the board a
prominent physician testified that the
smoke and floating particles frequent
ly caused irritation of the eyes and
also throat and lung troubles. The
practice of burning leaves prevails in
the residential portions of this city
as we'll as Plainfeld, and it is posi-
BILE that herein lies the secret of the
many cases of sore throat which have
been noted by physicians ih the past
few weeks. Tonsilitis and liberated
sore throats have been common, and
while most cases have yielded to
treatment, in not few diptheric
symptoms of mild type have follow
ed. 1t seems as though it might be
worth while for the local Board of
Health to give this matter attention.

Moves Forward To-day.

Manila, Nov. 1.-THE transport Fran
cisco Reyes has sailed for San Fabian
with few men and additional instruc-
tions for Generals Wheaton and Young,
who have been out of reach by wire for
nearly three days. The officials at head
quarters are anXiously awaiting full re-
port of the operations in the far north.
1t is known that the cavalry has occu-
pied several towns west of San Nicolas
and Tayug and captured considerable
rebel property, including $4,000 in
money.
General Macarthur telegraphed last
night that the rain has ceased at Tarlac
and that he will probably be able to move
his forces this morning.
The six companies of the Thirty fourth
volunteer infantry that reached Victoria
on Tuesday are pushing northward. The
other companies of this regiment are ad-
vancing from Aliaga and are beyond
communication-that is, they have gone
beyond the signal corps advance guard.
Major General Otis believes that Gen
eral Young has joined General Wheaton,
or at least has communicated with him.
He estimates the number of insurgents
now within the American Gordon at
5000.
IL Is TepOTleu tudJ ASulndluO was at

American Prisoners Released.
Lieutenant Johnson, with Troop NJ of
the Third cavalry, captured Wednesday
at San Nicolas II barrels containing the
wardrobe of Aguinaldo's wife, some per-
sonal effects, the records of the secretary
of war and much commissary and medi-
cal supplies.
Sonora Aguinaldo probably escaped
over the divide, but the secretary of war
is thought to be inside the lines.
Thomas w. Hayes, civilian, and Cal
vim s. Davis of the Sixteenth infantry,
who were held prisoners by the insur-
gents, have been rescued.
Colonel Vessels captured at Tayug sew
eral hundred thousand pounds of rice,
1900 pounds of salt, $500 pounds of -four
marked Dayton, Ohio;' $500 pounds of
sugar, 1,300 new uniforms and hundreds
of thousands of Mauser shells.
The names of Lieutenant Gilmore and
seven of his men were found written on
the walls of the convent of San Quintin.
The body of Major John A. Logan of
the Thirty third infantry wassSburied at
Paco yesterday. 1t was originally intend
ed to ship it to the United States by the
first transport, but this was found to be
impracticable because there were no ia
cilities for embalming the remains at
San Fabian. Major Logan was killed by
sharpshooters while he was leading our
advance on San Jacinto.

IT is NOW SHERIFF BAKER.
Took the Oath of ONCE on Monday
Received Many Congratulations.

Sheriff Charles A. Baker was sworn
into office at noon Monday. The oath
was administered by Judge Vreeland
and good sized crowd was present
at the big vault in the County Clerk S
Office where the ceremony took place.
The retiring sheriff, Edward L. Dur
ling, was the first to congratulate the
new official and he was followed by
Senator Pitney, Vice-Chancellor Pit
ney, County Clerk Voorhees,, Prosecu-
tor Mills, Surrogate Young, County
Counsel Rathbun and H. @. Pitney,
Jr. All the others present grasped the
hand of the new sheriff and expressed
their best wishes for successful ad-
ministration.
The customary bond for $50, 900 was
signed by Ralph H. Gary, John B.
Hulse and William d. Jardine of
Ledgewood Matthias Welsh of Ger
man Valley; David Younge, of
Dover; jeremiah Baker, of Kenville,
and Vice Chancellor Pitney.
During the day many of Mr.. Baker S
friends called at the Court House and
he was kept pretty busy shaking
hands and acknowledging the con-
gratulations showered upon him.
Former Sheriff Durling was on hand
to dispose of some unfinished business
and to render what assistance he
could to his successor. On Tuesday
Mr. Baker served papers on several
persons at Flanders, this being his
first outside official work.
His only appointment as yet is the
selection of George f. Runyon as
Counsel and this choice gives general
satisfaction.

POLLUTION CASES.
Only One ofFendert Fined-Nine Promise to
Abate Nuisance.

The Morristown and Madison pollu-
tion cases were heard by Justice
Charles Stilwell, at the Court House,
on Wednesday. Ten of the property
owners were present in answer to the
summonses which required them to
show cause why they should not be
fined in accordance with the law
prohibiting the pollution of streams.
Only one case was heard, however,
the other nine promising to remedy
the offense against the State. For
this reason their cases were adjourned
to December 6. Jacob Paulmier, of
Madison, was the single defendant
who took the witness stand and in
his case Justice Stilwell imposed the
fine Of 500 which is the maximum
penalty provided by statute.
Special Inspector James Gibson, of
the Paterson Board of Health and DR..
Leal, the Boards physician, appeared
against the defendants. Michael
Dunn was counsel for the city of
