to-day that two Italians-Mattola Maresca
and Michala Guida-had been detained at
quaratine New York hafbor. by his orders.
Their deportation to Naples, Italy, will be

On Aug. 1 this government was advised
from Naples, that Maresca. an Anarchist,
was about to leave for the United States
and that he might attempt to attack the
President, whereupon an investigation was
made, and while it could not be determined
that Maresca was an Anarchist, it was de-
veloped that he was a convict. His de-
scription was wired to Operative Hazen, in
New York. and on the arrival of the Kaiser
Wilhelm III last evening Maresca and his
companion, Guida, were turned over to the
immigration authorities. with the request
that they be deported. Guida's anteced-
ents are now being investigated. Maresca
is twenty-nine years of age and was born
in Italy.

"HE HATH NOT DEALT so WITH
ANY NATION"

There never has been time in oul
national history when there was
more reason for Thanksgiving thar
there is at present. Generally speak
ing, business is good, work is plentiful,
and the affairs of the nation are in
thriving condition. The Presiden-
tial election was conducted in man
ner creditable to the country, and the
outcome assures the continuance of a
wise and safe policy in the hands of
an administrator trusted by the coun-
try, and that without any bitterness
of feeling being left on the part of
the minority party.
Nevertheless, the poor we have al
ways with us, and one of the best
ways of offering our thankfulness is
by giving our less fortunate neighbor
reason for gratitude. "He that pitieth
the poor lendeth to the Lord. !"

SELLING ON SUNDAY.

The following editorial which we
reproduce from the Easton Press
applies to Morristown quite as much
as it does to Easton For some years
past the number Of stores doing bust
ness on Sunday has been ON the in
crease and every proper effort should
be made to abolish or mitigate the
evil.
Apropos of the growing tendency
in Easton of certain people to keep
their stores open on Sunday and the
consequent objection on the part of
those who are opposed to such thing
il is interesting to note that Rev. 2. f.
O'Hare, rector of the Church of st.
Anthnoy. at Greanpoint, a part of
New York City, has instituted cru
SADIE against Manhattan avenue store
keepers who keep open Sundays. He
dees it in forceful way, for he pla-
cards the front OF his church with the
words, Keep Holy the Sabbath
Day Don't Patronize Storekeepers
Who Keep Open on Sundays. This
good priest may overreach the mark
in his advice not to patronize offend
ing storekeepers. but the point about
his crusade is that it is started in the
one city of the country when perhaps
there is more selling on Sunday than
in any other. Rev. O'Hare is serving
his pensioners we'll in his effort to
have them observe the Sabbath free
from business pursuits. His congre-
cation numbers about 5000 and near
ly every one belongs to the wage
earning class. 1t is the wage Garner
who is more interested in having
stores closed and business suspended
on Sunday than any other class.
The American Sabbath" is term
we'll understood to mean a Sabbath
that is kept scripturally. Let the en-
tering wedge of sordid business get
foothold and then will come work for
clerks, work for carriers, work for fac
tories-work every day. Instead of
the benefits of shortening hours, will
come the grindstone of toll seven days
a week. Rev. O'Hare's congregation
should heartily respond to his efforts
in their behalf and his example should
be followed everywhere. Keep all
stores closed on Sunday

A SUPPER AND FAIR.
The Ladies of the Methodist Church
Meet With Success.

The supper and fair held on We'd
nesday afternoon and evening, in the
Sunday School room of the Methodist
Church, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid Society, was very sue
cessful affair, and neat sum OF
money was netted An elaborate sup
per was served at prettily decorated
tables and was we'll patronized. The
ladies in charge of the supper were
Mrs. Wilbur f. Day, Mrs. Stephen
Day, Mrs. Isaac Arnold, Mrs Jacob
/ VanWinkle, Mrs. Rose Headley, Mrs.
Schurman, Mrs. George Grove, Mrs.
Thomas Lawrence, Miss Diegman,
Mrs. Joseph Pugsley, Mrs. Weels and
Miss Logan.
AS is the case at all fairs, the candy
booth was a center of attraction.
Tbs young ladies in charge enjoyed a
prosperity in keeping with the times
and sold out early in the evening.
This table was in charge of the
Misses Dobbins, Hall, Ennis, Day and
Vogt. The handkerchief table was
looked after by Mrs. Woodruff and
Miss Sallie Day The fancy table
was under the management OF Mrs.
Victor Boell, Miss Ida Brown Miss
Jessie Hall and Miss Esther Rodney.
Al unique feature of the fair was an
importation from Mother Goose land,
"The Old Lady who Lived in a
Shoe Miss Josephine Stults took
the part of the ancient dame. How
ever, she didn't "have so many chill
dren that she didn't know what to do
with them. Her children were pref
tily dressed dolls. Miss Stults sold
them all early in the evening and had
nothing left but her dwelling place.
The apron table; with Mrs Henry
Powell, Mrs. Charles Roberts, Mrs.
Connect and Mrs. Hawkins as sales
ladies, was also we'll patronized, as
we'll as the five and ten cent table
presided over by Mrs. Stulst- Miss
Carrie Day and Miss Lfda Mckee.
The ice cream department was under
the direction of Miss Edith Arnold,
who, wtiR, the assistance of corps of
pretty Mattresses, disposed of an
enormous, pauntity of frozen sweet
ness.
The success of the fair is9very graft
flying to the ladies OF the church.

CONCERNING OFFICIAL
BALLOTS

The fact, about which there does
not seem to be a serious doubt, that
one of the official tickets printed and
distributed by the County Clerk of
this county, under the provision OF
the State Election law, was counter
feited, both in it's composition and
in the official certificate to its, genu-
ineness on the back of the ticket, re-
wives a criticism of the Election law
which has been urged for several
years back.
1t is that the provision in the law
under which official ballots Gnot en-
velopes) can be purchased by any one
several days in advance of the cleo.
tion is, a grave defect and danger.
This practice makes it easily possible
for counterfeiting and deception to BE-
practiced. The law should be amend
ed so that no one should be provided
with the official ballots except this
sworn election officers, and they only
in time to supply all the polls.
There is no good reason why cOun
ty should be flooded with official tic
kets, many of them sklllfully pastet
with names of candidates not of tn,
party's nomination, several DAYS il
advance of an election. 1t is question
able if this practice does any party o
any candidate the least good, and ii
view Of the danger of fraud which ha
often been suggested long before thi
1 incident occurred in Passaio Couny
the law should be at once amended
and that danger removed as far a
! possible.
The plan was weak oonce lsiol
to the old party methods of sendin
out both regular and "split" ticket
to voters prior to election day, whel
the tickets were prepared and printe'
by the several parties, and ther
was no such thing as an official bal
