Rev. DR.. j. NJ. Buckley Led 'Opposi
tion to Holding Public Meetings.
AT the meeting of the Methodist
Ministers in New York Monday Rev.
DR.. Buckley, of Morristown, led the
opposition to the holding of public
sessions.
The vote was 40 for and 20 against
opening the doors. DR.. Buckley said
in leading the opposition.
"We ought to have some place
where we can talk among ourselves
without talking to the public. There
are some matters which ought to be
dealt with secretly and that people
ought not TO know about. If any
member of this conference should say
a word outside as to what has hap
pened in this or in any other meeting
he should be held in contempt
AS soon as the meeting adjourned
the reporters rushed in and DR.. Buck
ley informed them that "the ablest
men spoke almost unanimously in op-
position to the amendment, " declar-
ing for an open meeting.
1t was decided to have doorheeper,
who will challenge every one who
enters the meeting hereafter and
check off the names of members adj
mitted- The editor of the Methodist
Review expects to get his reporter in
as a member.

Roberts to he sworn In.

It is reported that no plans have as
yet been matured for the exclusion of
Brigham H. Roberts from membership
in the house of representatives. Mr. Rob
erts' credentials are regular in form, and
he is as much entitled to be sworn in as
member as any other representative
elect who may present himself at the bar
of the house next Monday. His right to
take part in the election of speaker
will not be questioned by the holdover
clerk, and it is doubtful if any precedents
can be found to sustain the speaker there
after in refusing to administer the Gus
tomary oath. Precedents pade in dealing
with former delegates from the territory
of Utah are conceded not to apply to the
full tledged representative whom Utah as
a state now sends to congress.

1NcoRPoRAIoN FOR NEWTON

A special meeting of the Newton
Board of Trade was held on Tuesday,
Nov. 21st, to consider the advisability
of incorporation for the town of New
ton. 1t appears that under the reyi-
sion of township laws, under which
Newton is now governed it will not
be legal, after February next, for
Newton to make even it's present pro-
visions for town government and in
corporation before that time eithec as
a borough, town, or city, becomes
a practical necessity. In view of this
fact the Board of Trade has appointed
a committee consisting Of W. W.
Woodward, L. J. Martin and Thos.
M. Kays to consider the several forms
Of incorporation and to report to the
board at its next meeting. In due
time this question will necessarily
come before the people for decision. =

TRIED TO BURN A TOWN.

1t is believed that fire which oc-
Cured Monday night at Three
Bridges, a place four miles from
Pennington, was the work of incen-
diaries who sought to burn the town.
The torch was first applied to flour
mill owned by Jacob O. Kline. The
flames spread SO rapidly that nothing
could be saved. Half an hour later
Abram S. Cose's large hay press, in
another portion of the town was dis
covered to be on fire.
The town has no fire department
and citizens fought the flames with
buckets. By heroic efforts they sue
ceeded in confining the flames to the
two buildings, although for time it
looked as if the business portion of
the town would be wiped out

THANKSGIVING SERMON.
Rev. F. b. Dwight Preached at South Street
Presbyterian Church

In the South St. Church yesterday
morning the Rev. Franklin B. Dwight
delivered an able historical discourse
from the text, "He hath not dealt so
with any nation" and Luke 10: As,
For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall much be required.
Mr.. Dwight gave very interesting
version of the history of our country
in the course of which he called at
tenton to the fear of God and the
strong sense. Of duty by which the
Pilgrim Fathers were animated. He
traced the growth of religious and
educational institutions and also spoke
of the great increase in recent years
of our national resources. In the sense
of the second division of his discourse
he truly and strikingly said "Truly
God has blessed us but what have we
done to show our gratitude? Some
awful SINS lie on the national con-
science. The awful menace of Nor
monism has extended it's dreadful in
fuence and thrust it's serpent fangs
into nearly every State in the Union,
and waits today to see if our national
Legislature will receive it's representa-
tive, an acknowledged law-breaker and
give him right to assist in making
laws for the descendants of the Pill
grim Fathers. Why have we suffered
it to increase?
Society in our divorce laws has
enabled men and women in the most
conspicuous walks of life to defy the
plainest moral instincts with i'm
punity and to land their influence and
example to the destruction of family
life and to the debasement of the
most sacred relations.
1.-THE liquor traffic, as an organized
power, has been permitted to go on
its course, spending vast sums to
secure legislation favorable to its
interests The statement is often
made, and have not seen it contra
dicted, that there are now 430 Ameri-
can saloons in the city of Manila,
whereas, if reports may be trusted
there were only six under Spanish
rule. If that is all we can do for the
F'ilipinos, let us recall our ships and
armies and put ON sack-cloth and
ashes, while we keep days of prayer
and fasting as people that have
failed in the work to which God has
called them. -

ADMIRAL VERY MUCH ALIVE.

The Chronicle has been asked to call
attention to the fact that apparently
the Post Office is beautifully draped
for Admiral Dewey as his picture is
the only one visible to the public who
have been admiring what is the most
graceful and attractive draping of
public building ever seen in Morris
town.

Editor George G. Smith says in the
Epworth Recorder Probably no city
of it's size is better off for churches
than Morristown and they are all
alive, every one of them; yet it
would be safe to say that one-third OF
the people Of this city never see the
inside of church from January to
December each year

The deplornb'e aid re~sretab'e
tragedy which occurred in Columbia
last Saturday night, has sent a thrill
of horror into b e,homes Of the peo-
pie Of this State. 1t certainly was
a very unfortunate affair, ardi is made
more so when the exercise Ct a little
iudement aud coolness could have
avsrted the tragedy and the life Of the
wife spared to the husband and the
mothers love ard ministrations con
tinued to the children. Oar warm
est and deepest sympathy goes out
to the stricken husband and mother

been so ruthlessly and SO cruelty

A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment Of
a washes and inhallng mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while. causing a
feelingof personal dotiIement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short tim"
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance Of the proper
treatment can therefore he readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and meyer
will.
