IT is understood that ex Assem- blyman
John G. Eisele will be re-appointed a
member of the Board of Managers Of
New Jersey State Hospitals by Cover
nor Voorhees,. Mr.. Eisele has made a
diligent and painstaking member of the
board and deserves reappointment. AS
matter of fact, Governor Voorhees, can
not do better than reappoint all of the
members whose terms are about to ex-
pire. The members of the Board of
Managers for the Morris Plains Hospital
whose terms will expire are George
Richards, James M. Buckley and Patrick
Farrelly of Morris county; Romeo F.
Chabert of Hudson county and John G.
Eisele of Essex county. 1t is understood
that DR.. Chabert does not care to serve.
Messrs. Buckley, Richards and Farrelly
would doubtless accept reappointments,
and although they live in Morris county
the proximity of their homes to the hos
pital is an advantage in many ways. Mr..
Farrelly, who is the well-known head of
the American News Company, a man of
great energy and ability, has given q
great deal of time and thought to the
welfare of the great institution at Morris
Plains, and his residence at Morristown
makes it possible for him to visit the hos
pital on many other occasions than when
the board holds its stated meetings. His
retention as a manager is particularly
desirable because of his valuable services
and experience There is every reason
to believe that Governor Voorhees, will
reappoint him and those of his colleagues
who are willing to serve again. Orange

ENFORCE SPEED ORDINANCE.

Sometime since, when a new street
was opened through the Randolph
estate, running parallel with the rail-
road, and pending adoption by the city,
its use was offered during sleighing to
the numerous drivers of fast horses who
wished to speed their animals at fastt r
pace than allowed by the city ordinance.
1t is broad, level and as smooth as South
street With this opportunity for speed
ing within the city limits, we earnestly
protest against the fast driving which
has prevailed since the advent of
sleighing.
Horses have been driven on Madison
avenue and South street in most reck-
less manner and at a speed considerably
faster than the ancient . 40 clip.
The ordinance against this is plain,
and the police should see that it is en-
forced at once. Already number OF
narrow escapes from serious, possibly
fatal. accidents have been noted, and il

Reoollectlons Of a Great Year.

The year of 1898 will long be remembered as
one of the most eventful in the history of our
country. Under conditions causing, for time,
great uncertainty in the business and financial
world, IL would not have been surprising If
business, in general had suffered greatly. 1t
is encouraging to know that this was not the
case in general A prosperous condition was
induced, which affected nearly all the lines
and enterprises This was felt particularly In
the field of life insurance, and by no company
in manner more marked than by the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company of America, whose
home Office is located at Newark, N. j. Their
officers report as result Of their business last
year an increase of about 5000 GOO In assets,
the total amount of assets amounting to $685.
S87 1856 AZ In the matter of income an increase
OF over ~, 000. 600 Is repnrted--the Prudental'e
Jtal income during 1893 exceeding $l7. COO. 000
Their capital and surplus was increased Ia
nearly So 000000 All of these accounts con.
stitute a financial strength which must be u
source of great qualification to its policy
| holders.
On the policy side of the account there exists
condition which Is as fully gratifying. New
business to the amount of over $l64 600 was
written during 1898. thereby increasing the
amount of insurance In force to ovei
| $414, 000. 000
An idea of the vastness of this business car
be had from the fact that on January /, 1899
| the Prudential had in force nearly thres
| million policies. 1t is not only. however. whai
a life insurance company has, but what Il
| to those who need protection. During 1898 tn.
| Prudential paid to its policy holders ove
IS 100000, the total amount paid to policy
holders up to the present time exceeding $S6.
| 100000. Truly 1t may be said that the Pruden
] tial has the strength of Gibraltar.

CONGRESS IN BRIEF.

In the senate on Saturday an agree
ment was made to vote on the McEnery
resolution next Tuesday. Mr. Hawley
however, gave notice that he would ask
to have the agreement vacated. The
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill was passed. In the
house the day was devoted to delivery
of eulogies of the late Nelson Dingley.
The senate on Monday passed the bill
creating the rank of admiral in the ma
wy. specifically designed for Rear Admi-
raj Dewey There was q sharp debate in
the senate upon the unanimous consent
agreement to vote on the McEnery reso-
luton declaratory of the Philippine pol
icy of the administration. The bill ex-
tending the anticontract labor laws Of
the United States to Hawaii was report
ed back to the senate from the commit
tee on immigration, with amendments
making the bill cover all immigration
questions. The house gave its time to
the consideration of the sundry civil bill
in committee of the whole.
The senate on Tuesday passed the
McEnery resolution, declaring that the
United States does not contemplate the
permanent occupation of the Philip
ton of the sundry civil bill. The Heb
burn Nicaragua canal bill was offered
as an amendment to the sundry civil
bill, and when the house adjourned 1t
was in the midst of debate on a point
of order raised against the amendment.
The house on Wednesday ruled the
Nicaragua canal bill out of order as an
amendment to the sundry civil BILL by
f..sN d. h.ir
it to action in the present session of
congress- the significance of this being
that it will now be impossible to have
the measure considered before adjourn
ment. The senate passed most of the
day in executive session, and but little
business was transacted In open session
further than the passage of bill to ex-
press the appreciation of congress to
Miss Helen Gould for her service during
the war with Spain in caring for the
wounded and sick soldiers and the
granting of a medal to her, which will
be presented by the president.
In the house on Thursday the item
appropriating 500. 900, 900 to make the
payment due Spain under the peace
treaty was stricken out of the sundry
civil bill on point of order. Mr.. Hep
burn renewed his fight to attach his
Nicaragua canal bill to the sundry civil
bill In the senate Mr.. Morgan offered
Nicaragua canal bill similar in most
respects to Mr.. Hepburn's as an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill. The
amendment was referred to the commit
tee that has in charge the river anc
harbor bill Two army reorganization
! bills were reported to the senate from
The military affairs committee. one rep
resenting the views of the Republican
members and the other those Of the
Democrats.

CONCERNING snow blocked roads the
SUSSEX Register says: We are requested
to call the attention of road overseers to
laws OF 1888, page 1854. The law requires
that when snow blocks the public high
way overseers shall open the roads as
soon as practicable; in the meantime
travellers have right to drive through
private property and the owners shall
not prevent them; but can file bill for
any damage resulting from this public
use Of their property.

The interview with Fire Chief Fox,
which we publish on our first

tribute to the officers of the Fire De-

its work is being seriously handicapped
by the weight Of the apparatus now in
use. No doubt all of it is first class, al
though it is not quite suitable for Nor
ristown. Either greater expense must
be incurred for horse hire or lighter ma
chimes must be procured, for prompt SER

REMEMBERED.

Wednesday was quite generally OBJ
served throughout the country as
"Maine" day. The destruction of the
cruiser Maine ia Havana harbor, and
the murder of 265 of her crew, has in
deed been remembered with vengeance
by the American people. The only in
stance of forgetfulness observed was on
the part of Senators Hoar, Hale, Jim
Smith and their associate auti-treatyites.

SNOW ORDINANCE.

The ordinances of the city require the
removal of snow and ice from sidewalks
the width of the Tagging.
In many instances an opening the
width of shovel is about as near as the
requirements have been met. In case Of
rain, as now seems probable, the water
in these narrow trails would be many
inches in depth.

THE cURFEW LAW.

Inasmuch as there is considerable agi-
tation concerning the curfew law in
West Jersey, the following from the
Presbyterian Journal is of interest:
About four hundred American cities have
adopted the curfew law. Ali boys and girls
under fifteen years of age requit ed to be at
home at O'clock at night from October to
March. and 9 o'cl, ok from March to October
rest to take their young prisoners home and
ascertain th-ir parents wishes. writer says
The officials Of Indianapolis, st. Joseph. Des
MOines, ETC., report a decrease of eighty per
since the curfew law was adopted. 1t was
supposed at first that there would be q vast
amount of indiscriminate arresting of boys
and girls. The contrary proves to be true;
some of the Cries and towns report but two or
three arrests annually. The Mayor of North
Platte. Neh., reports that for two years before
passing the curfew law thev sent fourteen
boys aud girls to the Reform School, For two
years after passing the curfew law they did
not send any. The chief of police of Pueblo,
COL, says: Many young girls between the
ages OF thirteen and sixteen, who were for
merlY on the streets as late IL o'clock at
night, now tay at home and have been saved
by the cnrfew ordinance The mayor of
Leavenworth. Kansas, says the curfew ordin-
ance works like a charm and all the mothers
are In love with it. Numerous cities and
councils have already passed resolutions en-
dOrsing the curfew The city council of Lin
coin. Neb., says: THE practical results to the
youth of the city growing out of the enact
ment OF the curfeW law. have been such as to
satisfy the members of the council that 1t
should be adopted at the earliest moment by
the council of every city, town and village in
the country The chief of police of st Joseph,
Mo, says: Not half dozen arrests of youths
have occurred under the curfew law, and
there has been a decrease of twenty-five per
cent in crimes among the youth"
