COLONIAL ORGANIZATION.
Sir Charles Dixie at the Newspaper Fund
dinner last night made an eloquent reference to
the services of the colonial troops during the
war, and urged the expediency of a systematic
organization of these auxiliary forces for future
imperial emergencies
Details of Colonel Mahon's battle and General
Baden-Powells victory are still appearing, and
one is almost interesting story as the other.
The most dramatic detail is Commandant Eloff's
surrender to British officer who was his own
prisoner. Colonel Mahon is Irishman, and
his brilliant conduct of the relief expedition is
another laurel for the island

in this campaign-as it must always
continue to be- The only way it ever
can be eliminated as national issue
in presidential campaign is when
both candidates are equally trust
worthy. Such is not the case this
year, and even the most thoughtful
Democrats recognize the fact.
To sum up, can say that consi-
der the Mckinley administration to
have been complete success and my
reasons for voting for Mckinley and
Roosevelt are that they represent the
party that stands for financial probity,
commercial advancement, honest
administration of the government and
the general welfare of all the people
of the United States, Irrespective of
creed, race or political affiliation.
Il believe in trusts properly regu-
lated, because they are beneficial to
the producer and consumer, the capi-
talist and wage-earner, and especially
conduce to the advancement of young
men in business life.

ENTERTAINMENT AT MENDAAM
The Royal Arcanum of this City Well Re-
ceived by THE Town an the HIM.

The Mendham town hall was filled
to the doors ON Wednesday evening,
when members of the Loantaba Coun-
Gil, Royal Arcanum, of Morristown,
gave an entertainment. The object
of the meeting was to present to the
Mendhamites the benefits, both social
and financial, derived from member
ship in the Royal Arcanum.
The entertainments was opened with
a selection by the MendHam band, fol-
lowed by basso-profnndo solo by
Angelo Bennell, who Sang Asleep
in the Deep" several dctavos lower
than it is written. Mr.. Bennell has
a remarkably deep voice, his lower
tones resembling distant thunder, yet
he has it under such perfect control
that his higher notes may be compared
to the tender strains that are emitted
from a trolley car when it climbs a
steep hill. The applause that followed
the singers effort would do credit to
q oOuhO-h1OAOy hOCu1hS.
A. HI. Lucas recited several poems
that drew tears to the ieyes of the
audience. John McGraw,, Jr. sang a
baritone solo and received an encore.
Albert Meafoy of Dover an elocution-
ist of considerable ability delighted
the audience with sew ral humorous
selections.
The Grand Regent Of the Order for
New Jersey, L. A. Lightfoot gave an
address on the work and objects of
the Royal Arcanum and was followed
with close attention. A quartette
composed of Messrs. Suydenham, Allen
and the Whitehead brothers sang
several glees and medleys and were
obliged to respond to several encores.
Alderman Grove sang a base solo and
Brother Lucas gave another recita-
tion. Rev Mr. Noble of Mendham
gave an interesting talk on Royal Ar
canum and was followed by Brother
J. D. Thompson, who gave an exhibi-
tion IN hypnotism.
1t was said by iccredulous persons
in the audience that the mesmerist
had his subject fixed. Mr.. Thompson
denies this and said his power was
genuine "sikick'' one. The meeting
was closed by selection by the Mend
ham band, entitled "Come Back to
Us Again.
The entertainers were then taken to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. James K.
Bird, where refreshments were served.
Mrs. Burd was assisted in entertain
ing her guests by Miss Noble, Miss
Denton and Miss Burd.

Marking.
Arima, Sept. 4th.
4 We left Nanking for Kuling, in the
mountains, with no thought of the
crisis that was impending, and packed
our books, our winter clothes and our
bric-a- brac for safe keeping during the
summer, and think there is little like
lihood of losing them.
We left Kuling before there was the
slightest immediate danger, with the
object of leaving quietly and safely,
rather than run the risk of leaving
hurriedly later and III discomfort.
Events showed wisdom, as we got
away very comfortably. Later some
had to leave under less favorable cir
cumstances, but none in actual
danger.
We brought away everything we
wished to, but left some furniture
and groceries we had ordered from
San Francisco for the summer. These
will probably be stolen piece meal,
as there is no European to take care
of things in Kuling now.
AS several of the gentlemen are re-
tnrning to Nanking, our things stored
there may now be sent to us. We
shall not return there for some time.
