NO THIRD TERM.

President Mckinley has done the coun-
try great service in the manly and
honorable statement which he has issued
to the public, declaring that under no
circumstances will be be candidate for
third term, some injudicious friends
no doubt with a sincere desire to show
honor to him having spoken in favor of
a it. The Democrats, who are exceed
ingly short Of campaign material, have
on the strength of these irresponsi
BILE remarks, been raising the cry of
"Imperialismp and 'C9sarism. F" That
cry is forever silenced as far as Presi
dent Mckinley is concerned. The gen
eral public are expressing their heartiest
commentator of the course taken by
the President, which they regard as a
fresh revelation of the nobility of his
character.
The Presidents letter was as follows
Il regret that the suggestion of a third
term has been made. | doubt whether
am called upon to give it notice. But
there are now questions of the gravest
importance before the administration
and the country, and their just consid-
Grafton should not be prejudiced in the
public mind by even the suspicion of
the thought of third term. In view,
therefore, of the reiteration of the sug-
gestion of it, will say now, once for all,
expressing a long settled conviction,
that | not only am not and will not be a
candidate for third term, but would
not accept nomination for it if it were
rendered me.
My only ambition is to serve through
my second term to the acceptance of my
countrymen, whose generous confidence
| SO deeply appreciate, and then with
them to do my duty in the ranks of pri-
vate citizenship.

set out in tho folds. On the evening of
the End very destructive hailstorm

the State. They had probably come
into his possession from either his grand
father, Gov. Garrett d. Wall, or his
father, Gov. Vroom.
When the War OF 1912 against Great
Britain opened, James Madison, Presi
dent, called for 5000 Jerseymen. Al
that time the uniformed militia of the
State numbered about $500, and these
were mostly stationed along the Jersey
coast. In 1918 the Legislature appro
priated $4,000 for the defense Of the
coast, and on March "a of the same year
Gov. Ogden issued the following unique
order from his headquarters at Eliza
beth:
EVERY enrolled m:litiamen is to pro
vide himself with good musket or
flintlock, sufficient bayonet and belt,
two spare dints, and knapsack, q
pouch to contain not less than "a car
tridges suited to the bore Of the musket,
each cartridge to contain sufficient pow
der and ball; if rifeman, with good
rifle, knapsack, shot pouch and powder
horn. 90 balls suited to the bore of rifle
and one quarter pound powder; or, if a
dragon, with a serviceable horse. at
least 1416 hands high, good saddle.
small pillion, and valise, holsters, breast
plate and crupper, pair of boots and
spurs, and a cartouch box to contain
cartridges for pistols"
What the State would furnish the
uniformed militia" was not stated.
Equipped according to the above in
structions, the Jerseymen figured largely
during the short but lively strife which
followed, so that on Sept. 10, 1918, the
commander in chief of the army com
pimented the Jerseymen on their 'spa-
tience and perseverance, and bravery.
The war with Mexico was the next
that engaged the attention of New Jer-
sey, and, as before, she responded TO the
call. 1t was at once allotted to New
Jersey to furnish the government with
five companies of men. Only four were
organized, however, with headquarters
in Trenton. In 1647 the troops rendez-
voused at Fort HamiltC a, n Y, and
later sailed for Vera Cruz. Mex. on the
ship Senator They fought for year
and then returned home and were dis
charged. Three other companies were
also recruited in Jersey for service in
the Tenth Regiment Infantry, us. A.
which served through the war.
The Mexican war will conclude the
record, the civil war, as already stated,
having been fully covered by the admir-
able work issued by the late Gen. Stry
ker, under the direction of Gov Ran

mild adjective to describe ir-ball play

in the sixth and ninth innings; if Law
renee had not also muffed fly balls in
the same innings, the home team would
have won game that promised to be
the most closely contested, exciting and
interesting game of the season.
A large crowd was present when
Umpire LankroH, whose voice and work
We're features, called the game. The
visiting team was the Knickerbockers of
Bayonne. Disosway pitched a magniti-
cent game and was backed up by field
ing that was fringed with pure go ID

showed that they We're past masters at
the game and no team that ever visited

sharp contest. Their only error was
made by Wood, the catcher, who, in

The eighth inning was repetition of

when Palmer muffed another fly. Todd
didn't want to surprise himself or the
spectators so he let two more grounders
pass him. A safe hit netted one run
and then Lawrence muffed a hy ball.
With the bases filled Wood knocked out
beautiful home run drive, clearing the
bases. This practically settled the game
as far as the home team was concerned.
In their half of the ninth, the locals
tried hard to win out. They managed
to fill the corners but neat double play

been averted if any of the Field Club
players had coaching ability. 1t is a
noticeable fact that Throckmortou is the

RUNKER Hill.

Busy were the days from June 18th to
18th in the memorable year of 1775. and
as we read the accounts of the great
battle of Bunker Hill we seem to live
again through the anxiety of those days.
From the early morning of the nth to
the late night hours Que of the fiercest
battles ever known was waged, and the
day closed with the British Army occu-
pying Bunker Hill. In brief this is the
record of battle, which, in less than
two hours, destroyed town. laid fifteen
hundred men upon the battle field
equalized the relations of veterans and
militia, aroused three millions of people
TO a definite struggle for national indie
pendence and fairly inaugurated the war
for its accomplishment.
