and can offer to the most fastidious
customers wholesome variety.
No place holds a greater interest for
housekeepers and others desiring the

and an observer cannot help but leave
an order, so varied is the display of
goodly things. Mr.. Bennell has at all

fish in town.
His prices for game now are grouse,
81. 70 pair; partridges, SO pair rab-

dozen. Roasting Chickens are 20 cents

hens sell for 81 pair.
Fish and vegetables are sold at

Adams g. Fairchild have a stock of
fancy and staple groceries which,
while it appeals to housekeepers at all
times is particularly pleasing just
now, in view of the approaching holi-
day. Here your Thanksgiving din
ner can be improved by adding a
plum pudding, fancy canned goods,
figs, dates, grapes, nuts and other
toothsome delicacies Oranges are
selling for so cents dozen and lem
ons bring 25 cents. Fancy print but
ter is worth 80, and good butter 80

THE SCHOOL LAWS.
Teachers and Others Invited to Offer sug-
gestions 10 Commission.


gestions Commission.
The Commission to revise and codi-
fy the school laws of New Jersey, has
issued the following circular, which
should receive the careful considera-
tion of those interested in educational
matters:
Dear sir:
The Commission appointed by the
Governor to revise and codify the
laws relating to public instruction
made its report to the Legislature
late in the session, so that it found
that body in the confusion incident
to adjournment, when the report
SENATE Bill No. 1879 could not be
properly considered. The Commission
was continued, and it will be its
duty to report at the coming session
of that body.
Several Typographical errors of a
trifiing character have been discovered
in the report of last winter, which
will be corrected, and it is the desire
of the Commission to incorporate in
its next report such changes as further
consideration may suggest.
The members of the Commission
confess to feeling of disappointment
and surprise that in their work last
year they received very little aid
from teachers, school officers and
others interested in the creation of a
school law. 1t seems to us that school
principals, teachers, boards of educa-
tion and financial and executive
officers of municipalities could and
4
criticism which would have material
ly aided us i'll our work, but of such
aid we received very little. Such adj
vice and criticism we now solicit
most earnestly.
We are committed to no form, and
our only desire is to frame such law
as will improve our public school
system and one which will commend
itself to the wise judgement of the
people of the State.
:. We therefore most earnestly urge
you to give us the benefit of any
views you may entertain on any phase
of the subject upon which we are at
work, so that we may consider them
in the preparation of our. new report
| We cannot promise to accept your
suggestions, but we will in any event
thanK you Tor them and give them
careful consideration.
If you have not copy of the report
of last year, a copy will be sent you
ON application to J. Brognard Belts,
Trenton, N. J.
Unless you help us now, you
will have no right in the future to
find fault with our work. Address all
communications to the Secretary. Mr..
Belts.
Very truly,
E. O. STOKES,
S. ST. J. McCUTCHEN,
J. BROGNARD BELTS,
Commission.

EyANGELIsTIc SERVICES.

A series of evangelistic meetings
will be commenced in the Market
Street Mission on Monday evening,
27th inst. at 7.45 p. m. and will be
continued during the week at $3.50 p.
m. and 7. 45 p. m. daily. On Thanks
giving Day the afternoon meeting
will be at four O'Clock and will be
for men only.
They will be conducted by the Rev.
R. A. Walton, an evangelist who has
been working with DR.. ]. Wilbur
Chapman by whom he is highly COM
mended. Reports of Mr.. Walton s
work elsewhere show him to be a
man whose methods and judgement
are sound, and whose addresses are
strong and pointed,
Mr.. Walton will be accompanied by
Prof. W. S. Weeden, the well-known
Gospel singer and hymn writer. Rev.
DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman, of New
York, will assist for at least one day
during the services.
Commenting on the recent success
full meetings conducted by the Rev.
R. A. Walton, in Shamokin, Pa, the
Daily Dispatch of that city says:
Zone of the good results of the
evangelistic services is that there is
no depressing reaction to follow be-
cause of excitement or high pressure
methods. III this respect Rev. Mr..
Walton has commended himself as a
safe guide, and shown the soundness
of his judgement and methods. His
sole reliance upon the Holy Spirit
and the Word of God, and his loyalty
to the church and the ordinary ordi-
nances and means of grace, which as
a pastor he knows so we'll how to
appreciate and respect, are character
istics of his work which deserves
special commendation.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
Morris Aqueduct Company has Furnished
Water supply for Century.

Water supply for Century.
Thursday of last week marked the
anniversary of an important epoch in
local history but which seemingly is
unknown to vast majority of citi-
zens. Just one hundred years before,
on November 49, 1899, charter was
granted to the Morris Aqueduct
Company. The water works es-
tablished by this company is the old
est in New Jersey and ranks eighth in
this respect in the United States. It's
first president was General John
Doughty, who spent greater part of
his life in the house on Mt. Kemble
avenue which until recently bore his
name. In later years James Wood,
who was at one time the heaviest
land holder in Morris County served
the company as president. He was
succeeded by John f. Voorhees, who
retired in 1869. Since that time Hon.
Fl. G. Pitney has been the principal
officer of the company which furnish
es Morristown with it's water supply
The other officers are Philander B.
Pierson, treasurer, Frederic V. Pitney
@. E. and VIM A. Dunn, superintend-
ents.
The original springs supplying the
water were located in Jockey Hol-
low and there was no reservoir in
town. Wooden pipes made of logs
furnished the channel through which
the water was carried to consumers.
These pipes were made by Jedutha
Day, of Rockaway, and the boring
was done by horse power. Chestnut
logs were used, one end being sharp
ened SO as to drive it into the
joining log. Iron bands were put
around the point at which the pipes
were connected as a precaution
against splitting Many years later
tin pipes were substituted and these
were enclosed in cement.
improvements have been made from
time to time until today the Morris
Aqueduct has as perfect supply of
good pure water as could be desired
by any community. When the com
pany was organized century ago
each consumer was obliged to sign a
contract as to the proper use of water
ETC., for one year. This continued
for long time, one of the contracts
under the date of 1927 now occupying
a place on the walls of the Aqueduct
Company's office.
The cities in which water work
were established prior to the forma-
tion of the Morristown company and
the dates of their inception are Bos-
ton, 1862; New York, 1777; Geneva,
N Y, 1887; Plymouth, Mass, 1896
Portsmouth, N. H., Worcester,
Mass. and Durham, Conn, all in
1898. Morristown and Albany, N. Y,
followed in 1889 and Newark a year
later.

TO FORM NEW ORDER.

The Knights and Ladies of Honor
connected with the subordinate lodges
of New Jersey are in rebellion
against the supreme lodge of the
order. They have appointed com
mittee to formulate plan for the
organization of an independent order
in the State.
The sentiment at the recent meeting
in Newark was in favor of withdraw
ing from the supreme lodge and the
order was practically unanimous and
a commmitte was appointed to formu-
late plans for the organization of an
independent order to be confined to
New Jersey.
1t is proposed to continue the mem
bership in the Knights and Ladies of
Honor until the subordinate lodges
are ready to flock by themselves.

A GRAVE PROBLEM.
What is 20 he Done wnh the 200 Bodies
at the County Farm?

The Morris County Board of Free
holders has problem on its hands
which may be difficult of solution.
There is q cemetery on the old aims
house property in which are upwards
of two hundred graves. The bodies
in these must be re-interred. Whether
the purchaser of the property will be
obliged to remove the bodies or the
county authorities be compelled to do
Athis work seems to be puzzling the
Board Evidently the Almshouse
Committee has overlooked this inn
portant matter AT any rate it has
not been discussed at any of the Free
holder meetings.
Some members are of opinion that
the new owners of the property will
have to properly re-inter the bodies
while others believe that the county is
responsible for the care of the pauper
dead even after burial. If the latter
be true the limited funds of the Board
will be taxed still further as the re-
moval of 200 bodies would be a matter
of considerable expense.
All the graves are properly marked
as to names and dates of death and
the little cemetery is enclosed by a
suitable fence. Its location is on a
hill about half mile from the farm
house. Steward Giles E. Miller has
always kept up the appearance of the
place and visitors have remarked upon
the condition of the little yard
wherein rests the remains of the
county poor. From time to time
bodies have been removed by relatives
or friends to other places for reinter-
ment. Last year eighteen bodies were
buried in the plot which has been
a place of interment for nearly forty
years.

BRITISH WIN A VICTORY.
But the Victorious Side Paid Dearly for 1t,
Having 200 Casualties.

London, Nov "a Stirring and impoi-
can't news comes this morning from the
western frontier. Along with the an
nouncement that a strong position of the
Beers has been carried at the point of
the bayonet we have the suggestive news
of burghers leaving Natal for the capital
of the Free State, pretty clear ndica-
ton that they foresee the certain plan of
campaign.
An official telegram from Lord Me
thuen states that at daybreak yesterday
morning he took the Boer position at Bel
mont, some 56 miles south of Kimberley,
the spot, it will be remembered, where
Lieutenant Colonel Keith Falconer and
Lieutenant Wood We're killed.
The infantry behaved with great gall
lantry and was well supported by the ma
val brigade. The British losses are said
to be considerable, while those of the enc
my We're heavy.
The British troops carried the position
at the point of the bayonet.
The third battalion of the Grenadier
guards suffered most severely, one of
their officers, Lieutenant Fryer, being
killed and eight others wounded. OF the
rank and file 26 were killed, 36 wounded
and 13 missing. The British total casual
ties were 223 in killed, wounded and
missing.
Although details are scarce, it is evil
dent that the action was of a pretty Sc
we're character.
Brigadier General Fetherstonhaugh
was severely wounded in the shoulder,
and Lieutenant Colonel Crabbe of the
Grenadier guards is reported wounded.
General Gatacre's Movements
General Gatacre has reconnoitered the
country toward Mo and has selected a
better camp at Putter's Kraal, which
commands the Stormberg road.
The Royal Irish rifles, a Cape battery
and mounted infantry have gone up.
More troops of the Third division are
expected at Queenstown. All the front
outposts have been strengthened. 1t is
expected that the effect of the troops
moving will be reassuring to the border
people.
The Daily Telegraph publishes these
advices, dated Wednesday, from its spe-
cial correspondent at Pietermaritzburg:
'The Boer attack on General Barton's
camp at Mooi river today was practically
Ineffective
AT half past l in the afternoon the en-
emy opened fire. Although some shells
fell in close proximity to the hotel and
railway station, little damage was done.
Our artillery took position behind the ho-
tel, and under cover of their fire our in
fantry and Thornycroft's mounted troops
advanced. BY half past a party of
Beers were observed moving on our left
flank. Our artillery threw some shells
among them, and after four or five shots
the operations ceased.
