ELECTRIC FERRYBoATs.

Electricity for the propulsion Of
ferryboats Is now being practically
calculated upon on the Delaware, and
many advantages and much economy
will result from its use. 1t will for
instance, save the fuel wasted when
the fires are being kept up as they al
ways must be, while the boat is wait
ing in her slip, for steamboat must
be provided with engines and boilers
for her highest speed, and this, in the
case Of a ferryboat, can only be used
a small part Of the time.

Hi HENRYs' INCoMPARABLE.

The advent Of Hi Henry with his
incompatible minstrel troupe is an
occasion to which the fun loving
people of Morristown always look
forward to with pleasure. Mr.. Henry
has high idea of minstrelsy, and his
show is always up-to-date in all re-
spects, and what can not be said of
many it is absolutely clean.
The street parade and concert was
enjoyed by many Notwithstanding the
storm. The music was we'll rendered
and of very high order.
The program last evening was re-
plete with good things from beginning
TO end. The greeting of Admiral
Dewey by Uncle Sam was we'll staged
and greatly appreciated by a full
house. Billy Clark, one of the
rleverest comedians in the country,
captured his audience, and at one time
it seemed as if he would be encore6
until midnight.
Every feature was better than ad-
vertised and we are very glad that the
results were satisfactory alike to the
Letter Carriers and to Mr.. Henry.
Mr.. Henry, Mr. Knapp, his press
agent, and Mr.. Gates, business mana
ger, are gentlemen with whom it is a
pleasure to transact business.
