During the next five months Buffalo,
the justly termed Queen City of the
Lakes, will prove nothing short of a
we'll veritable mecca to which journey
pilgrims from all points of the compass
bent on seeing the greatest exposition
known.
Never was an exposition more favor
ably situated. In olden times "all roads
lead to Rome;" to-day call railroads
lead to Buffalo, and the Lackawanna
heads the procession.
The management has spared no ex-
pense where speed, safety and comfort
are concerned.
Within the bounds of the United
States there does not exist a panorama
of greater beauty than found along the
line of nearly four hundred miles, Nor
ristown to Buffalo. The fare has been
reduced to $l2 round trip, good ten
days. To those of our citizens who con

at Lackawanna station. All necessary
information will be gratuiously given.
Four first-class trains are scheduled
to leave Morristown for Buffalo; at the
Lackawana station, in that city trolley
cars leave every two minutes which will
quickly land one at the exposition
grounds.

As shown by this diagram, Porter was
not in position to attack the right
flank of jackson, because he was at
least three miles away, and not across
his flank, as shown in the first diagram.
With Longstreet's presence, to have
obeyed that order he would have been
obliged, with ten thousand men, to have
defeated twenty five thousand men in a
chosen position, before he could have
moved upon the flank of the enemy, as
the order directed. But, even if the po-
sition of Lees army had been thirty six
to forty eight hours distant, as asserted
in the joint order to Mcdowell and Por-

Another feature of the Exposition is

the master mind of Karl Bitter. The

Justice Tempered With Mercy.


AT the conclusion of trial in the
Morris County Court yesterday Judge
Vreeland agreeably surprised witness
in the case and the spectators in general
by presenting the man with brand new
five dollar note.
On April % last Jacob Samuels, He
brew, of Boonton, was arrested charged
with the theft of number of chickens
The man protested innocence and claimed
that he had purchased the fowls from a
man named Oscar Jones. of MontviIe.
but ne was committed to the county
Jail nevertheless. The grand Jury failed
to indict Samuels, but did indict Jones.
since that time the former has remained
In the jail, being held as witness. AT
the trial yesterday Jones was convicted
and remanded for sentence. Samuels
testified against him. and during his ex-
animation by Court Interpreter Harry
Domb it developed that the man was the
father of eleven children, and that dur
ing his incarceration they were on the
verge of starvation. The mans pitiful
tale touched the heart of Judge Vree-
land, who not only handed the man the
money but ordered Sheriff Baker to pay
him 1913. so as witness fees.
TOBIN ARRAIGNED.
James Tobin, who recently shot his
wife, Bridget Tobin. was brought before
Judge Vreeland Wednesday for trial.
The prisoner said he was unable to pay
counsel fees, and the court appointed
Messrs. Barkman and Vogt to defend
him. His trial was set down for Tuesday
next.
JONES CONVICTED
Joseph J. Jones, of Port Dram, was
convicted Wednesday of assault and bat
terry with intent to kill. and remanded
for sentence by Judge Vreeland.

A committee representing the United
Grocers and Tea Clerks Association of
New York has asked Police Commits
sioner Murphy, to enforce Section 267 of
the Penal Code relating to closing on
Sundays, on the grounds that they had
to work six days in the week and want
ed some time to themselves on Sunday.
The butchers have been obliged to close
their places and as their goods are more
perishable than those sold by grocers,
the clerks do not see why their move
ment should not be successful.
Why some of the business houses of
Morristown continue to violate the Sun
day law is not known, for it is well
established fact that Mayor Fox is in
earnest relative to the Sunday closing
movement as those who trangress will in
all PROBABILITY learn to their cost.

Last week the road committee of the
Warren County Board of Freeholders
met and considered the bids for the con-
truction of the macadam road from
Hackettstown to Allamuchy, distance
of 5.45 miles 10 feet wide The con-
tract was awarded to Salmon Brothers,
Of Morris county, for $21, 024.14. The
highest bid was $99,9O4.77. The lowest
bid was $s0,731.13. Commenting on the
above the Hackettstown Gazette says
this means permanent road building in
Warren county, which will not stop
until modern driveway is constructed
from the Sussex line throughout the
entire county.

to the fact that the local authorities are

side met out upon the plains in a
fierce battle. They fought with the
valor of vengeance and the wrath of
desperation until not single man ON
either side was left alive and without
wounds And then came the old men
and squaws and children from the
Otoe village on the south and the Om-
aha OH the north and sat down upon
the prairie among the dead and dying

the Great Spirit, in his merciful
goodness, caused vast spring to
burst open the plain where the battle
was fought and to swallow up the

pCHuCAU, Olll1-
nently sane and temperate authority on
social and financial questions, would
not willingly mislead it's readers. But
we fear that presidents of life insurance
companies, who go to it's pages for
counsel to guide them in the manage
ment of their enterprises, may be in
duced to take action that they may
regret afterwards, when they read the
independents utterance on the subject
of consumption. Life insurance COM
panies have long declined to accept
persons whose parents were tubercu-
lous, on the ground that they were
likely to go the same way; but the
Independent, in scoffing at the Con-
servative's proposition that certain peo-
pie ought not to be married, says that
eff anything has been thoroughly estab-
lished beyond contradiction, it is that
tuberculosis is germ disease, and that
it is not hereditary. The same remark
may also be made about most of the
other diseases enumerated.'
We would not be arbitrary, nor, as
some foolish European countries are do
ing, forbid by law such marriages; if
the Independent wishes to marry it's
offspring to the children of the insane,
epileptic, alcoholic, tuberculous and
gouty, we will cheerfully acquiesce.
But we will still advise those who
choose to listen to us, not to run the
risk of such alliances. tuberculosis
is certainly contagious; that is, perfect
ly healthy people may contract it by
associating with the consumptive. In
sanity is also contagious to a certain
extent, it would seem, for we have
known very sensible farmers to become
violently disturbed in reason by listen
ing to inflammatory utterances. But
the commonly accepted view, shared
also by such small medical authorities
as we have read, is that these disorders,
and others like them, arise mainly from
generally disordered physical condi-
tion, known as degeneracy, which is
indisputably transmissible from parents
to children. When the condition
known as degeneracy is once established
in family, generally by somebody's
misbehavior, there seems to be no way
of getting rid of it. One man may have
consumption his children may or may
not contract the same disease, but if
they do not, they are more likely than
not to break out in some other way; to
be either drunkards, insane or epileptics.
And about the fourth or fifth genera
tion the breed loses the power of con-
tinuing itself, and the line dies out.

mend. to those whose mental constitu-
tion enables them to perceive that two

On page SO of the report of the Sec-

The Honorable Mr. Mercer will find,
by turning to the fifth page of the re-
port Of the Secretary of Agriculture for
the year 1896 and reading down to the
middle of the sixth page, that during
four years that officer - under Grover
Cleveland-had saved and covered back
into the treasury of the United States
a trifle more than two million dollars.
Thus the money then saved may now
be used legitimately to construct de-
partment building for agriculture. And
it is much easier and far more commend
able in these days of extravaganza to get
money out of the treasury than to cover
money into the treasury. To provide
for expending is patriotism and to pre-
vent unnecessary disbursements is pen
uriousness. But there will be an end to
extravaganza and beginning of frugal
ity in government disbursements or an
end to this government before this
century closes.
