town - He Gives a Convincing
Address.
Lyceum Hall was filed to the doors
ON Friday evening when the most
enthusiastic meeting of the campaign
was held. Music by the quartette Of
the Wholesale Dry Goods Republican
Club was one Of the special features
Of the evening. The singing was
excellent and the quartette were en-
cored again and again. The Mendham
Republican Club attended the meeting
in a body, The Hon. William 4.
Russell, former Democrat, was the
first speaker. President Gr1nnell Willis
introduced him with brief address.
Mr.. Russell pointed out the difference
between the Bryan Of '96 and the
Bryan of 1900, and pointed ont the
many vagaries and inconsistencies of
the Democratic candidates. He said
that Bryan was altrustic.i in = his ten
denotes in '96 but now he had changed
TO political contortionist, con trolled by
the man he ignored in his first cam
paign, Richard Croker, whom he
{Bryan) had characterized as the
prophet" Of Tammany Hail:
The second speaker, the Hon. Edwin
SWEET, of Maine, was one OF the most
eloquent and polished orators ever
heard in Morristown. he opened with
a glowing tribute to American women
hood, there being many ladies in the
audience, and referred to Senator
Pitney as New Jersey g next Cover
nor. This was greeted with an uproar
of applause. The earlier part Of Mr..
SWEETS speech was devoted to the dis
cussion of the policies of the two
parties. He dwelt on the hard times
caused by Democratic misrule and
pointed out the many promises which
had been fulfilled during MI. McKin-
ley's administration. Mr.. Swett's
address was full of telling epigrams
which reused the greatest enthusiasm.
In speaking of the change wrought
by the Republican party he said,
- From soup-houses to dinner tables /;
from poverty to prosperity; from i'm
poverished farmers to prosperous
farmers, these changes are not the re-
suits Of mere chance. They are the
outcome of careful inauguration Of
Republican principles and policies. =
The speaker then dwelt on the grow
ing greatness of our country, illustra-
ting them with some remarkable oom-
parsons with other countries.
In taking up the expansion question,
he pointed out that we had reached
"a stage in our progress where we could
cater SUCCESSFULLY to outside markets,
and If only in this respect alone, the
Philippines are most valuable &C
QUESTION.
In taking up Bryan fallacy that
the chances of the young man for
lettering himself were fewer now, Mr..
SWEET said that there was never
time when the demand for brains and
ability were as great as they are today.
The speaker closed with dissection
of the so-called imperialistic issue
sand there wasn't much left Of it when
he finished.
All through his address the speaker
was brilliant, forceful and witty and
was followed with the closest atten-
tion.
Mr.. SWEET Is schoolmase Of Samuel
Freeman Of this city and of the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed. An three were
boys together in the same school at
Portland, Maine.

The Inquisftive Damsel.

A girl who took up photography not
long ago and endeavored TO get some
valuable snap shots had bad luck with
her first pictures. There were funny
streaks of white al through them
when there was any picture at all, and
she couldn't imagine how they came
there. Neither could an experienced
amateur who assisted In developing
her first negatives and who took the
usual precautions in loading the cam
era and taking the plates.
II can't imagine what is the mat
ter" he said as plate after plate came
out either good for nothing or with
only a little Of the picture visible.
"Those ought to have been good
plates"
Neither can l." said the girl. They
looked all nice and smooth and white II
that is the way they ought TO look"
Looked all right" exclaimed her in
structor in dismay. You hadn't look
ed at them before we put them In the
camera, had you?"
"Oh, not enough TO hurt them! said
the girl. II just lifted up the black
paper from each plate just the lituest
crack in the world just couldn't re-
sist the temptation Of seeing how nice
they looked and think Of the lovely
pictures l was going to have on them"

A Rig Snowfall.

The heaviest fall of snow that ever
took place in England occurred in 1913.
The snow commenced falling on the
10th Of January, 1915, and continued
every day until the 18th Of March fol-
lowing. 1t covered the earth TO such
a depth that passengers, both horse
and foot. passed over gates, hedges and
walls, which had been obliterated by
the white sheet. On the 18th of March
II began TO decrease and so by little
and little consumed and wasted away
till the 2Sth of May, for then all the
heaps and drifts had disappeared ex-
cept one upon Kinder scout, which lay
until Whitsun week.
A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in
1920, the snow falling 13 days and
nights with little or no intermission.
One of the heaviest falls on single
day occurred on the 21st of February,
1862, the snow In some places being
from 10 to u feet deep.

Her Handy Money Stocking.

"Yes, you are right" said the con-
ductor of Main street car, viciously
ringing up a fare. Some people do
carry money in queer places. Now.
that Chinaman in there kept me wait
ing over two blocks while he united a
gordian knot in his cue, where he had
his cash. Some people keep me wait
ing five blocks or more while they fish
around for their money.
Yesterday l was going north on
Main street, when, at the corner OF
Adams, two women got on the car.
waited q minute or so and then went
in for the fares. The women looked
sort of dashed, and then one Of them
began to flmble in her purse. Empty!
Then her companion made a dive at
the bottom Of her skirts.
"Well, sir, it beat all. That woman
deliberately unlaced her shoe and took
II off and through hole in her stock
ing fished out a dime" - Memphis

A DoubtinR Father.


One warm midsummer day Steve
found himself seated under the old
Baldwin apple tree, with the half hull
Of q red hearted watermelon In his lap.
Old Mr.. B., busy with the other half,
paused now and then 10 ask Steve
about his new job, how many cigars he
smoked in day. what they cost and
what he paid for his fine clothes. Pres
emily he wanted TO know what they
called his boy on the road-cOnductor,
brakeman or what?
"They call me the general freight
agent, father" said Steve.
That's a mighty big name, Steve"
Eyes, father; it's rather a big job,
too. for me-"
"But We don't do it all, Steve. Ie

"Oh, yes, have lot Of help!"
"And the company pays them alp

he had guessed too low.
''Three" he yentured.
~More than that, father"

as much as flyer
"Yes, fqther; more than %"
The old man let the empty hull fall
between his knees, stared at his boy
and whistled.

value of the preferred and common stocks The
amount of the preferred stock available for market
