ANDREW REASONER.

A telephone message received during

not unexpected intelligence of the
death of Andrew Reasoner, which
occurred at an early hour this morn

was not confined to the house until

The Independents Visit Chief Engineer

Some thirty five members of indie
pendent Hose Co. visited Summit on
Friday night last, as the guests of
Chief Engineer George V. Muchmore,
of the Summit Fire Department, who
for many years was IAN active mem
Der of the Independents The visiting
firemen were met at the Summit
station by Editor Cliff of the Sum
NIT Herald, former member, and
delegation of the engineers and
officers of the Summit Fire Depart
ment.
The Independents marched in pla-
toons through the streets of Summit
to Mr., Muchmore's residence, arous-
ing considerable enthusiasm as they
marched singing the minstrel songs
which have become so well-known in
Morristown. Mr. and Mrs Muchmore,
their daughters, Misses May Leola
and Lisle, son Heney, and Fred
Muchmore and @. W. Vernon, of
Morristown, received the guests, who
were soon "at home.
The house had been prettily
decorated with palms and flowers,
while the enclosed piazza afforded
ample place for card tables and later
an old fashioned Virginia reel such as
only the chose boys" know how to
dance. 1t is understood that Dr. Lewis,
"Ed' Van Fleet Harry Hoffman,
Andrew Phillips and others, were as
active in the 'Old Virgins" as when
they danced in the hose house years
ago.
Director of Music Runyon soon
martialed the members of the Com
pany about the piano where they
sang "I'll Telegraph My Baby, =
"Then Well All Join In and other
minstrel songs. Solos were rendered
by Messrs. Carroll, d. f. Sturgis,
Dobbins, Vance, Genung and Am
norman.
Refreshments were served at eleven
o'clock after which dancing and sing
ing was indulged in until the last
train left for Morristown. 1t was

Mr.. Matthews married Miss Ella
Potter, of Orwell, Pa, three children
blessing the union-Miss Bertha, a
graduate of Madison High School
Glass of '95 and of the State Normal
School Glass of '97, and who is now
acceptably teaching in the Liberty
Street School of this city; Raymond,
who is in the Madison High School,
and Miss Esther in it's grammar de-
partment. 1t is probable that Mr..
Matthews will remove to Dover after
April 1st, that being more central for
his work.
In an interview with Chronicle
representative relative to the county
work the new Superintendent said:
While | believe that every effort
should be made to raise the standard
of our public schools to the highest
possible point, am afraid that we
too often forget that breadth of
base' is an essential element of
stability. In the public schools we
must keep in mind that we are doing
foundation work and foundations
should be broad and deep rather than
high And again we should remem-
Der that our foundation is not merely
for a college superstructure, lit may
have that, and fortunate is he who
can add the college and university
superstructure to the public school
foundation, but in the vast majority
of cases the superstructure must take
the form of struggling business life.
| am frequently asked, docs your
high school prepare pupils for col
lege?" My answer usually is, 81
don't know whether it does or not !;
we try to do good honest work; we
try to cultivate in our pupils habits
of thoughtful study and self-reliance !;
and we try to bring about such state
of mind in our pupils that they will
go out with a strong desire for know
ledge" If they can go to college, all
right-they are fortunate. If they can
not go to college, they will find their
opportunity elsewhere
Among some old fashioned ideas
that / have about education is pro-
found respect for the country district
school
For as most of the rich men of our
country had the great advantage of
being born poor. so some of the most
profound scholars of the world have
had their zeal for learning quickened
by the poverty of their surroundings
and their knowledge developed by the
obstacles that they overcame. Great
men are they who fcome up through
great tribulations.
AS county superintndent of the
schools of Morris / desire to do my
duty to all of the schools of the county
but assure you that the small country
schools shall receive my most con-
stant attention.

"The weary form, that rested not,
Save in a martyrs grave
The care-worn face that none forgot,
Turned to the kneeling slave.
We rest in peace, where his sad eyes
Saw peril, strife andipain
His was the awful sacrifice,
And ours, the priceless gain. =
Whittier.
Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth Presi-
dent of the United States, was assassi-
mated in Ford's Theatre, Washington,
on the night of April H. 1865, by J.
Wilkes Booth. The wounded presi-
dent was quickly removed to a private
residence opposite, where The fingered
until twenty minutes past seven the
following morning. Mrs. Lincoln,
who accompanied him that evening,
and the members of the Cabinet, and
other prominent officials were with
him until the end, which came peace
fully.
A reaction speedily followed the
feeling of deep sadness which at first
prevailed throughout the country and
men everywhere were ready to resent
the slightest affront to the memory OF
the martyred president. In the cities
business was suspended, and the
whole north, east and west was
stirred to its profoundest depths.
Places of business and residences
everywhere were heavily draped in
mourning, while it seemed as if a
pail were hanging over the land north
of Masons and Dixon's line.
The funeral train from the time it
left Washington until it reached its
destination in Springfield, Illinois,
was viewed by hundreds Of thousands.
who IN the death of Mr.. Lincoln felt
a sense of personal loss, which proba-
bly, has never been equalled in this
country.
Perhaps few of our readers are
aware of the fact that there is a
plendid collection of Lincoln memen-
toes which were collected by Capt.
Osborn H. Oldroyd and which is kept
by him in the house where Lincoln

Watson B. Matthews, who was on
Tuesday appointed Superintendent Of
Public Schools for Morris County, is
in every way well qualified to fill the
position which is a most important
one. Mr.. Matthews was born in
Orewell, Bradford County, Pa. His
parents came from Connecticut. He
attended the public school at Brad
ford, afterwards entering preparatory
school followed by further preparatory
work in a Pennsylvania Normal
School when he entered Lafayette
College. After two years of college
life he accepted position as teacher
in Bradford County, afterwards locat-
ing at Tobyhanna, where he remained
until called to graded school at
Hammonton, N. J. Two years after
wards he was made principal of the
school at Port Republic afterwards
filling the same position at Smith
Landing for six years.
Later he was recalled to Hammontor
where he remained over six years and
until called to Madison in 1892.
When Mr.. Matthews assumed the
charge of the latter school he found
an enrolment of less than two hun
dred
Mr.. Matthews possesses the qualifi
cations requisite for teaching and
organizing a school to a remarkable
degree. This has been his recorc
wherever engaged. The Madison

Capitol Captain Oldroyd entered the
service in 1861, when 19 years of age,
as private in Company E, goth Ohio
Volunteers, engaging in active service
until mustered out in 1865. He was a
great admirer of Lincoln and years
before he attained national promi :
nence, young Oldroyd saw in him the
probability Of future greatness. So
deeply did this belief take root and
grow in his mind, that it became a
settled conviction, and he at once -set
about collecting and preserving with
marked devotion all that could be OBJ
tanned pertaining to Lincoln.

the persistent and fortunate possessor
for it, but without avail.

Washington, Feb. s. "A new treaty
signed by Secretary Hay for the
United States and Lord Pauncefote
for Great Britain relative to the Nj
caragua Canal has been submitted to
the Senate for ratification. 1t is meet
ing with strong objection in certain
quarters and its ratification, unless
materially amended, is doubtful. The
chief objections to it are that it recog-
nizes Great Britain's S right to voice
in what should be entirely an Ameri-
can project and resusitates the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty which has long
been regarded as dead by the states
men of that country A hearing on
the treaty has been had by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations at
which some of the objections to the
new convention have been presented.
1t is too early to say with entire GER
tainty what the fate of the new treaty
will be. but little is risked in prophe-
sying that unless it be amended it
will fail. 1t requires a two-thirds
vote to ratify it. The Senate, now
that California has filled its vacancy
numbers 81 members. Thus it will
require So votes to ratify, while 30
would defeat ratification.
