few calves but that was the extent
of his loss. Others in the vicinity
escaped with very light loss among

THE VIRTUE OF METERS.

In response to request from the bu-
reau of water of Philadelphia as to the
effect on the consumption of water
caused by the use of water meters En-
gineer Sherrerd of Newark has written
synopsis of the conditions in that city.
Philadelphians are using per capita
daily allowance of water of $50 gallons,
and the water department there is seek
ing to reduce it.
Mr.. Sherrerd, in reply, states that 1900
meters have been introduced in that city
since May 1. In July last year, he also
states, the average daily consumption
for July was 2S, 100000 gallons, while
for last month it was cut down to 49,.
300, 900. AS the average annual increase
in consumption in Newark is estimated
at 1000, $50, the consumption this last
July would have been, he says, more
than 30000,000 gallons. The meters
have, therefore, he concludes, saved the
city about 1000, 900 gallons day. And
this, he notes, is where meters have
been placed with about per cent. of
the consumers. The saving is Is per
cent.

BUYING CAPACITY OF A DOLLAR

The Hartford Courant truthfnlly
asks when a dollar would buy more
of the necessaries of life than now,
such as food, clothing and trans
portation; and that on the other hand
there never was a time when dollar
earned less in the way of interest
than it does now. To illustrate
Twenty-Five years ago railroads and
municipalities issued Z per cent. bonds
when they wanted to borrow money.
Now they issue 81 per cent bonds
and have no difficulty in selling them
at premium. This means that
whereas capitalist could once get
81, 400 year on an investment OF
800, 600, he can get only about 5000.
At the same time a wage worker s
salary will go farther than ever be-
fore in paying living expenses. The
Courant sums up the case as follows
A days work put into getting bread,
clothes, and similar necessities will
produce more than twenty-five years
ago, but days work saved up and
turned into capital will not earn more
than half the money it used to.
The facts stated do not furnish very
much of a text for professional calam-
| ity groaners.

HISTORIC BATTLE GROUND.

A considerable addition has been
made to the campus of Princeton
Theological Seminary, by the pur-
chase of the Richard Stockton man
sion, and portion of the estate. The
land bought adjoins the present cam
pus on the south and east.
The ground has historic value also,
as it includes the site of the second
stand of the British troops in the bat
tie of Princeton, and from which they
retreated to the college campus, where
the surrender took place. The added
ground will furnish much-needed
room for an athletic field. The pur-
chase price of the property was 800, oOC
and was given by friends of the semi
nary.

THE VALUE OF COMMUTERS.

Throughout the State the local
newspapers are generally active in
urging rational betterment, and are
persistent in putting their shoulders
to the wheel to carry them out. Even
in places like Closter up in Bergen
County, where the community is not
rich and where every extra dollar for
taxes counts, the desire for improve
ment is backed up by the local paper,
the News, which says in an editorial
which could be we'll copied through
out the State, that "recent statistics
show that fully 100, 900 business men
of New York and Philadelphia have
their homes in New Jersey. This vast
influx of residents has caused an i'm
mense increase of taxable property and
has put many New Jersey towns and
boroughs in position to make improve
ments which otherwise would have
been impossible for years. And yet
in the average town the commuter is
looked upon as an interloper and his
presence is regarded as an injury
rather than a benefit The fact that
he wants improvements, even though
willing to pay his share Of the ex-
pense, is regarded as proof of his dis
position to swamp the borough OF
town with unnecessary burdens OF
taxation. 1t would seem that an UNI
derstanding of the exact relations
the commuter bears to these smaller
suburban places would result in a
larger appreciation of his value as 2
builder Of good homes"
This is right. The future of New
Jersey centers in the men who make
it their home even though they have
to go into the big cities six times a
week to gather their harvests, Jersey

HOW DIFFERENT.

Editor Chronicle
In Plainfeld the Board of Trade which
adjusted the difficulties over transfers
between the Plainfield Trolley Company
and the New Brunswick Traction Com
pany after others had failed, has now
started out to get the Plainfield trolley
line extended to Washingtonville, with
view of having it further extended
later to Scotch Plains to form belt line.
What has become of the Morristown
Board of Trade which started with such
flourish of bunting and blowing of
trumpetsS Is it opposed to the entrance
of the trolley in the town In fact, Mr..
Editor, what hes it ever done? Can you
or anybody else tell The Board is COM
posed of many business men of the
town. Has it ever given any encourage
ment to our enterprising townsman Mr..
Foote in his effort to make this more
desirable place of residence and to bring
trade from the surrounding county towns
which our merchants are loosing more
nd more each of year? Gentlemen of the
Board of Trade, call meeting, get your
selves together, let the citizens know
where you stand on the trolley question.
Dover wants it, Rockaway wants it,
Denville wants it, Morris Plains wants
it, Mendham and Brookside want it..
Our railroad, under new management
has awakened to the times. Let us as a
community follow suit.

WE ARE GROWING BETTER.

After so much has been said about the
degeneracy of these days, the corrup
ton in politics, the decay of faith, and
all the rest, it would be interesting to
have some one point out just what days
of the past were better. What is the ex
act date of that golden age in American
history when purity, honor, unselhshness
and the other virtues were more preva-
lent. 1t is difficult to find trace of such
an age in the chronicles of early writer's.
Take the matter of temperance: Who
can deny that there has been wonder
full Improvement in this direction? The
customs of large houses of providing for
the profuse distribution of intoxicants to
servants and strangers are giving away !;
SO are the convivial social customs of
commercial travellers and country vii
layers. There is abundant evidence of
the growth of a new public opinion in
the altered tone in which intemperance
is spoken of, and IN the increasing num-
Der of young people entering into life as
pledged abstainers. Numerous organiza-
tions for sailors, railroad employees, and
other laborers, and counteractive agen
institutes, clubs, cocoa-houses and
coffee taverns-afford further hope for
improvement in the future.
AS for the complaint that interest in
the Bible is declining, the eighty-third
annual report. just issued, of the Ameri
can Bible Society, the largest distributing
agency for Bibles in the world, certain
ly does not sustain it. The total issues
of copies of the Scriptures at home and
in foreign lands by the society during
the last year amounted to 1880, 1922, of
which $780, 43 we're issued from the
Bible House, and 599,949 in foreign
lands. Reports of agents of the society
in Mexico, Central and South America,
and from Europe, Asia and Africa show
a largely increased circulation of the
Bible. Especially is this the case in
China. In Japan, too, royalty has be-
come interested, and the Emperor has
accepted copy of the Bible in English
from the Bible societies. and Japanese
Bible from his Christian subjects. This
does not look as if the faith founded in
the Scriptures was in imminent danger
of decay and death.
The facts indeed all point to an increase
of faith, to larger and more enduring
moral and religious progress, to greater
life and power for every agency designed
to promote the happiness and well-being
of men.-Leslie's Weekly

GEN HENRY ON PORTO RICANs

General Guy V. Henry, formerly
military governor of Porto Rico, says
of tnat distressed island:
She came to us with open heart and
hands, and now we should show our
regard for her loyalty and gain her
love, respect and future firm adherence
by helping her when in distress. My
heart feels kindly for these gentle,
patient and lovable people, and pray
the people of the United States, in
dependent of the government, to come
now promptly to the front and show
Porto Rico, our loyal colony and
really our own people, what true
American manhood and womenhood
can do to those in distress or in need
of aid.
General Henry knows the people of
Porto Rico well and he has not over
stated the love and fealty they have
shown since our army was welcomed
at Ponce.

THE DREYFUs TRIAL.

The Dreyfus trial drags it's weary
length and may continue to do so
for two or three weeks yet Nothing
new has been adduced against Drey-
fus, and yet it is clear that the court
means to condemn him in spite of the
lack of evidence unless Messrs. De-
mango and Labor manage by some
striking piece of evidence to make
that practically impossible.
The theory of the Generals seems
to be that it is more expedient for
them that one innocent man should
suffer than that the corruption of the
French army should be exposed. The
acquittal of Dreyfus would mean
their condemnation, and they are
doing everything legal and illegal
that they think likely to prevent that
result, and it is hardly likely that a
military turmoil will go against the
openly expressed wishes of the heads
of the army.

BANNER PLEASE COPY.

Col. Watterson, in his staid old
Democratic newspaper, the Louisville
CourierJournal, remarks;
Those who wish to understand the
increased demand for currency should
note the fact that according to bank
exchanges the business of the country
is now 80 per cent. greater than it
was in 1902, which was an all-round
good year for business. The increase
over last year is about 40 per cent.
On the other hand, business failures
for July were SS2 in the same month
last year, and 1, 1876 in July 1896.
The liabilities of last months fail
ures fell below 50, 900, 900, while in
July of last year they were over
$40, 900, 900, and in July, 1896, over
$50, 500, 900. Railroad earnings also
show continued increase. These
facts are too persuasive to be over
come by individual cases of loss
which can be cited at all times.

need of church in this rapidly grow

and it is expected that little difficulty
win be experienced in raising the neces.

selected is the corner Of Water and Lin.

METHODIST MISSIONS IN CUBA.

The Methodist Church South has
just opened its fifth mission in Cuba.
1t is at Pinar del Rio. Those pre-
viously opened are at Havana, Matan-
zas, Cienfuegos and Santiago. Some
twenty years since this church inau-
gurated work at Key West, and i'm
mediately the United States took up
the cause of Cuba it was foresighted
enough to see that Key West strength
ened would prove good base for en-
larged effort in Cuba. The women s
boards rendered conspicuous service
i'll strengthening Key West, and now
this church leads all others in num-
Der of its missionaries on the island.
Like it's Northern namesake, this de-
nomination has a twentieth century
fund. 1t is seeking to raise 81, 500, 900
from small gifts, with the thought
that that much in hand, large gifts
will follow, and so fund of several
millions will be the outcome. The
course is pursued rather than the one
of naming the top stint at the outset.
About 5000, 900 has so far been con-
tributed by the church, and 800, 900
has been given to the church enduca-
tional institution by donor not a
Methodist. The causes to be aided
by this fund are the theological de-
partment of Vanderbilt University,
annual conference institutions, and
the schools in mission field.
