A COMMUNICATION.
Morristown, Nj, March Z, 1900

Morristown, Nj, March 7, 1900.
We, the undersigned pastors at Nor
ristown, N. j., learn with very great
regret that the Rev. W. H. Kershaw,
pastor of the Congregational Church.
is soon to close his pastorate in this
city.
In our fellowship with him in the
Gospel ministry we have come to high
ly esteem him as courteous gentle
man, a sincere Christian and an able
minister of the Lord Jesus.
We sincerely wish he might have
continued among us, but as this is not
to be, we congratulate the church
which will receive his services and
the community in which he and his
family will live.

AFFECTIONS TRIBUTE.
To the Memory of Rev. James M.
Freeman, D. D.


Sleep, beloved sleep, the princely soul
of honor rests.
Mute the pallid lips are now, with
seal of death.
The heart that beat in love supreme,
is cold and still.
Enshrouded now in mantle white, the
manly form
Upon the earth S cold bosom lies, in
dreamless sleep
Life's morning sweetlv passed to noon
and night,
And quick the evening shades drew
Beyond the three score years and ten,
the pfiestly
Vest was "pure as snow, spotless, :"
stainless, white
The eagle eye and lion heart, half
century stood,
Foremost in battles, front for God,
and truth divine.
A beautiful life went out, with glori-
Gus sunset crowned,
From holy childhood home, and
mothers prayer,
A princely soul shone forth, as one
divinely called,
70 wave the prophets wand, mid
lsrael's chosen host. y
Baptised with holy fire, where sacred
affairs famed,
His youthful brow, was signet set.
with seal divine,
And many stars were won to gem
his radiant crown.
Sleep, sleep, in honor sleep, life's
work is nobly done.
We mourn thy loss, friend of our early
days and true. &EE
Meath sunset skies, we bear the
glorious banner on,
Meet thee, we will, on ''some sweet
day, on fearless shore.

STRONG NOMINATIONS

1t is evident from the tickets pub
lished in the Chronicle this week and
from other information in our possess
sion that the Republicans in the vari-
GUS townships of Morris County are
nominating excellent men for office
this spring.
The Morris Township ticket is head
ed by William +. Collins, who has
earned his denomination by faithful
service, Gates b. Parsons, DIR. c.
Y. Swan aud Harrie l.. Pruden are
men of recognized ability, and they
will certainly be elected. The same
may be said of David L. Pierson, who
is exceptionally well qualified for the
Office of justice of the peace, Mr. Ar
mold and the other nominees are we'll
known and highly respected citizens
of the township.
In Passaic Township, the Republi-
cans viii be greatly assisted by the
disgust felt throughout its borders at
the methods of Freebooter Cook, who
IA Alu1N4OA w hlS OthtI uuNlSolIdDle
qualities is a man of great promise
and small performance. The miles of
road he had promised in the township
would reach halfway across the
county. He ought certainly to be de-
feated by Charles Castle who will
make first class Freebooter. In
deed all the Republican nominees in
Passaic Township are entitled to cleo
ton because of their high character
and the sound principles they stand
for
The proposal to divide the township
into two election districts is partic-
ularly wise one. Its area is very large
and the existence of only one polling
place makes cit impossible for some
and difficult for many to vote The
small increased expense will be more
than compensated for BY the added con-
venience and comfort afforded to the
voters In all the other Republican
townships, the party should at least
hold its own, and gains should be
made in others notably Mendham
and Passaic.

NO FLOWERS AT FUNERALS.

The Rev. Father Dolan, of Paterson,
has informed his congregation that in
the future he will not allow any flow
ers to be carried into the church at
funerals. His reason for this decision
is that in nearly every instance where
death occurs and possibly small
insurance is carried, money is spent
by the widow, father, mother or other
relatives in charge of the funeral ar
rangements for flowers that would go
long way toward the maintenance
of surviving children, aged or sick
parents or other relatives.

Under a recent law, any township
in New Jersey may elect as many con-
stables as there are justices of the
peace, In Mount Holly there are five
justices and only two constables and
Henry O. Claypoole, a former con-
stable, has taken advantage of the
provisions of this law to place him
self in Office again. He obtained
signatures to a petition which was
filed ON Monday with the Township
Clerk, which will allow his name to
be placed on the ticket although there
are no constables to be elected.
