THE RUMMAGE SALE.
Eleven Hundred Dollars Melted to
Memorial Hospital.

The ladies in. charge of the Rum
mage Sale,' for the benefit of
Memorial Hospital, desire to express
their thanks to all who assisted them
in any way, as donors or by personal
service, in bringing the sale to such
a satisfactory termination; the
amount netted to the treasury of the
Hospital being 81 100.
The money was very much needed
partly in the way of recovery from
the great strain ON the resources and
finances of the Hospital during the
prevalence of smallpox last year,
and partly on account of the small
number of paying patients in the Hos
pital, and the large amount of wholly
gratuitous and unpaid service habi-
tuaIly rendered. During the year 1900,
1877 patients have been treated, most
of them carriedTthrough more or less
prolonged sickness; 81 have been in
the annex for contagious diseases.
The 30 cases of small -pnx were paid
for by the city; the other II cases of
scarlet fever and diphtheria were
treated so nearly without pay that the
whole sum received for the care of
the II was but $20
OF the 100 patients cared for in the
main building, only 27 have been
able to pay for the service rendered,
and the average amount received
from these 27 has been So per week.
No distinction in the religious belief
is made at Memorial Hospital, and
it has been the rule OF the institution
to care for all patients until they were
we'll and able to return to their homes
or their work. None are ever dis
missed on the ground Of being unable
to pay. 1t is to meet the expense of
such patients that the "Rummage
Sale'' was held.

cAlLDREN,s GUARDIANS MEET

At the meeting of the New Jersey
State Board OF Children's Guardians,
held in Jersey City ON Tuesday, the
draft of its forthcoming annual report
was submitted. 1t calls attention to
abuses which have existed in num-
Der of aims houses of the State, where
the sexes were not kept separate, and
which had been almost entirely re-
medied excepting in Sussex County
The report will also say that it has
practically removed all the inmates
from the aims house during the year
and that number of imbeciIe and
affected children have been sent to
the Home for Feeble Minded Chill
dren at Vineland. A number of
healthy boys and girls have been
placed in homes. The report concludes
that it has been busy and profitable
year with the Board of Guardians,
great deal having been accomplished
despite the fact that the appropriations
was but one-half of what was needed
to carry on the work. The strictest
economy has been obseryd, and the
expresses have so far been kept within
the appropriation.

ESCAPED FROM HOSPITAL.
Didapo an Insane Convict. Saws HI.
Way Out.

Carmenciti Didapo, an insane con-
vict, made his escape from the Morris
Plains State Hospital on Monday
night When the keepers made their
rounds early Tuesday morning
Didapo's cage was found empty. In
vestigation showed that two Of the
bars of the window had been sawed,
and that the insane man had jumped
to the ground, a distance of only six
feet. Didapo was a murderer. He
killed w. Burns in Essex county in 1892,
was convicted of murder in the second
degree, and was sentenced to State
prison. While confined at Trenton he
became violently insane and was COM
mitted to Morris Plains Hospital. On
account of his homicidal tendencies
he was locked up at night in a cage
on the first floor 1t is thought by the
authorities Of the asylum that Didapo
had received outside aid. He was the
only Italian in the institution, and it
is believed that he was assisted in es-
Gaping by some of his countrymen
who have been employed on the new
extension recently erected. The
present was the second time he had
been sent from Trenton to the Morri.

nesday evening, all members being
present. The minutes Of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
Saloon licenses were granted to
Alfred P. Conway and A. W. Theiler,
of Speedwell avenue. and wholesale
license was granted to Stiner Bros.
grocers, of Speedwell avenue.
The application of Thomas E. Lowe
for license for the West End Hotel
was not granted, owing to the fact
that the application was not filed pre-
vious to its publication in the news
papers, as required by law. Commits
sioner Sturgis ruled that therefore it
was no application.
The application of John H. Servis,
for license for the Farmers Hotel,
which had been laid over at the Octo-
ber meeting, was next considered. A
remonstranee signed by large num-
Der of prominent citizens and proper
ty owners was read by the clerk. The
remonstrance pointed out that there
was no need Of another license on
Market street, and called attention
to the improvement in the morals of
the neighborhood since the closing of
the hotel two years ago. Rev. Samuel
q. Batten, pastor of the Baptist
Church, addressed the Board, review
ing the past history of the hotel and
saying that disorder would result from
the granting of license. Mr.. Serviss,
the applicant, also spoke and said il
the Board saw fit to act favorably Oh
his application, he would guarantee
to conduct the place in proper man
ner. When the roll was called each
commissioner responded with an EN-.
phatic "No. .
The application of J. J. Callahan,
of As Madison street, for a wholesale
license, was next considered. having
been laid over two months. A re
monstrance signed ty many residents
of the vicinity was read. asking th,
refusal of the application, on thu
grounds that there was absolutely M
need of another license in that par
of the city.
The Rev. f. B. Dwight spoke briefly
saying another liquor store on Madi
son street would mean an increase o.
drunkenness, and that disorder would
follow. He complimented the BoarC
on the wise course it was pursuing
in regulating the liquor traffic il
Morristown, and said that it deserved
the thanks of the community.
The Board took short recess, an(
on returning was addressed by Post
master J. e. Fennell, who spoke Oh
behalf of the applicant. Mr.. Fennel
said that the application was for
wholesale license, and not for a tip
pling place, and stated that he believe,
that Mr.. Callahan would conduct tn
business in a careful manner. AL
the Commissioners voted "No''as thei
names we're called.
On motion. the Board adjourned.

Leslie's Weekly comments as fol-
lows on the fascinating game of golf
Golf has revolutionized the life
of the more leisurely class in this
country to greater extent than is
realized by those who know nothing
of its subtle charms Before it's in
truduction tho settled income man
logged along without incentive to
needed exercise. Indeed, there were
few sports in which he could indulge
without fear of exhausting reaction.
Golf has changed all this. and today
the business man and the man of lei
sure find in it an opportunity of
strengt ening sluggish systems with
out risk of over-exertion. Golf is
responsible for the older as we'll as
the younger generation enjoving q
cleaner, more simple and health-sus-
tanning existence, and for this it we'll
deserves the popularity it has won.
One Of those ingenious persons who
compile interesting statistics has dis
covered that $15, 600, 600 are expended
annually in the United States for
golting incidentals. This does not, of
course, inclu ie the original outlay
for club houses and grounds, so that
the grand total assumes startling pro-

was won after hard fight by William
Keating, who beat Gaffney by single
hole in the thirty-six hole final
round. For closeness of competition
better exhibition of golf could not
be wished for. Gaffney led by one
hole at the end of the eighteenth hole
in the morning, but in the afternoon
Keating played the best game, and

to gain the victory and first prize.
