RAILROAD NOTES.

Bates Dargavel is called one of the
slickest passenger conductors ON the
Lackawanna. This is due to his uner
ring aim with either, or both eyes,
and the ticket punch. His train is
the T. so a. m. from Morristown, and
the p m. from New York, sometimes
called the Flying Dude. " Bates used
to run one of the Morristown accom-
modations and is among the real old
conductors on the road. He has run
trains with whistling seats and spring
less bottoms, illuminated with oil
lamps, but now gas and electricity
do the trick. Bates doesn't look like
a world beater in the matter of sa-
gacity, but he is the lad that can pick
out beat from a paying passenger
every trip. One of his chief traits is
secretiveness. No one ever knew
him to "give away" secret; isn't
that so boys? And he lives in Nor
ristown, where the air is all right
and no factories thrive Jersey City

A COMMENDABLE PLAN.
The Establishment of National Bat
tlefield Memorial Park.

The residents of New Jersey, es-
pecially those living in Morris
County and its shire town, will be in
terested to learn that Representative
Hay, of Virginia, on Tuesday filed the
report of the House Committee on
Military Affairs on the bill establish
ing a national battlefield memorial
park of 6, 900 acres on the site of the
battles of Fredericksburg Chaneellors-
vile, the Wilderness, and Spottsyl-
vania Court House. The report states
that more men were here engaged than
in any battle i'll the worlds history,
aggregating at least 800, 900, with
losses in killed and wounded on both
sides amounting to 129,S38. The in
trenchments over the entire field are
said to be in a remarkable state OF
preservation. At Fredericksburg also,
is the home of the mother of Washing
ton, still intact and a monument
erected by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. Here, too,
Captain John Smith anchored his lit.
tie bark and fought the Indians in
1908, and within sight of the city were
born Washington, Monroe, Jefferson,
Madison, the Lees, of both the Revo
luton and the Civil Wars and Zachary
Taylor The report adds that in Vir.
ginia the great war began and ended,
and not an acre of this soil, where
more men fell than on all the other
battlefields of the war has yet been
dedicated as national park.

CLARE DERBY SHOOTS HIMSELF
Nervous Prostration Causes a Madi-
sonian to Take His Life.

sonian to Take His Life.
J. Glare Derby, manager of the
Stafford Ink Company, of New York,
died at his home in Madison Monday
morning from wound inflicted by
himself on Saturday But for the
quick action of his wife he would
have killed her and their three chill
dren. Mr.. Derby had been suffering
from nervous prostration this winter
and had been unable to attend to busi-
ness. He seemed unusually depressed
on Saturday. He asked his wife to
bring the children into his bedroom,
but she suspected his purpose and in
stead of complying with his request
sent the children from the house and
summoned DR.. Calvin Anderson, the
physician, who had been treating Mr..
Derby. When the doctor arrived at
the home he found his patient highly
excited and when Mr.. Derby refused
to be pacified he sent for policeman.
When DR. Anderson and the officer
started up the stairs to Mr.. Derby S
bedroom they heard three shots. AS
they reached the door there was a
fourth shot. Running into the room
they found Mr.. Derby lying on the
floor wounded and unconscious. He
had fired three bullets into his abdo-
men.

GARD OF THANKS.

l thank the ministerial and other
fraternity of Morristown for their
kind expression of appreciation, and
sincerely regret my removal from
their midst. Since I came to the
United States and became citizen.
1 have not lived in a place more in
harmony with my social and literary
tastes than in this beautiful city.
Outside the society. with which am
connected on the happiest terms, l
have received many substal al tokens
of real friendship; and, when the
time of my departure arrives, it will
not be without feeling of sadness
that shall say "good bye" to my
brethren in the ministry and to a
community which love and respect
so much.
Yours very truly,
W. H. KERSHAW,
Pastor First Congregational Church.

Military Honors

MOrristOwn Soldier Is Buried With Full
Military Honors
The remains of the late George Cook
of the Fourth Infantry, U. S. A.,
were buried in the Catholic Cemetery
Monday with military honors. The
services were held III the Church Of
the Assumption at $50. The cortege
was escorted from the residence by a
detail of twenty three Spanish Ameri-
can War veterans under command of
First Lieutenant J. Wesley Rolf and
Second Lieutenant Ernest Goodell, of
Company M, Second Regiment, New
Jersey Volunteers, recruited at Dover,
and of which Cook was member.
Messrs. Sidney Collins, Fred Schrau-
denbauch, George Corey, Jesse Lapine
and Joseph Kronenberg, of the old
Torbet Post Drum Corps, furnished
the music The escort was composed
of Privates Robert Myres, Thomas
Conlon, Nelson Freeman, Marvin
Anderson and John Gilmore, of Dover,
and G. E. Letcher, J. Sutton, William
Mack, Paul Jameson, David Van
Glider, Fay Howe, Theodore Kinsey,
A. W. Smith, Morris Jensen and ]. Fl.
Boniface, of Morristown. The casket

and the pallbearers, former comrades
of Cook, were Frederick W. E. Minder-
mann, Thomas Gilligan, Charles En-
dahl and Alfred Sites, of Dover, and
Edward Rodermond and George Abers
of Morristown. The services at the
church were in charge of Rev. Dean
Flynn, and were very impressive.
From the church the funeral proceeded
to the cemetery where interment was
made, the squad firing the usual three
salutes and taps was sounded by
Bugler Hessey.
Private Cook was about twenty
four years of age and in June 1898, he
enlisted with Company M, at Dover.

and Alfred Sites. Babcock died at
camp ON September IL, 1898, thus leav-
ing Sites the surviving comrade OF
the trio. After the Spanish American
War, Cook enlisted in the regulars

Holloway, and both were participants
in the battle of Ismus, in the Philip
pines ON June Is last, when Cook re
ceived bullet in the forehead killing
him instantly. Holloway saw hin

The relatives desire to express thei
thanks to the Spanish-American Wa
veterans, the drum corps, neighbor
and friends for their manifestation o
sympathy.

COMMUNICATED.
Editor Chronicle {:

Editor Chronicle:
Sir 1.-THE proposal to establish an
"Outlook" Club in Morristown is an
excellent one. and the organization
should be vigorously pushed. In this
age of hurry and rush, many of neces-
sity confine their reading on current
affairs to limited number of papers
and magazines, and these are often
chosen, because their general views
harmonize with those of the reader.
Hence it will be distinct advan-
tage to hear questions discussed by
leaders of thought on either side, and
without the bias which comes from
looking at questions from the stand
point of the interests of party or
faction.
Would it not be we'll to have the
club organized now, before the Presi-
Dental election monopolizes the at
tention of the public.

MORRIS ACADEMY NOTES.

On Friday last pleasant surprise
for the members of the school was a
luncheon party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hart, at Days, the event being the
tenth birthday of their son, John. 1t
would be hard to find a merrier group
than when the boys get together for a
jolly time. The lucky finders of the
prizes which were concealed in the
cake, were Wallace Crane and Charlie
Hull.
A very enjoyable entertainment was
given at the home of the principal
Tuesday evening. The Drew Semi
nary Quartette provided an excellent
collection of college and popular
songs, being repeatedly called to re-
spond to encores. Mrs. Doty's and
Miss Kugler's skill at the piano was
highly appreciated. The climax of
the evenings entertainment was
reached when Miss Walsh presented
in unique and charming manner

was received with the heartiest ap-
plause, after which all joined in the

A UNIVERSAL FOOD.
Following Natures Footsteps.

II have boy. two years old, weighing
forty pounds and in perfect health who
has been raised on Grape-Nuts and milk
This is an ideal food and evidently fur
nishes the elements necessary for babv
as we'll as for adults. We have used
Grape-Nuts in large quantities and great
ly to our advantage" F. W. Leayitt
Minneapolis, MINI.
One advantage about Grape-Nuts Food
is that 1t is pre-digested in the process
of manufacture; that is, the starch con-
tanned In the wheat and barley is trans
formed into grape sugar In exactly the
same method as this process is carried
out in the human body, that is by the use
Of moisture and long exposure to moder-
ate warmth, which grows the diastase
in the grains and makes the remarkable
change from starch to grape sugar
Therefore, the most delicate stomach can
handle Grape-Nuts and the food is
quickly absorbed into the blood and It's
sue, certain parts of it going directly to
building and nourlshing the brain and
nerve centers.
