CoIumbla Wins.

Columbia is still the "Gem of the
Ocean" Yesterday she administered
a crushing defeat to the Irish boat.
Lipton's hopes must have been high
as he saw his bronze challenger
ploughing her way to the first mark
nearly mile ahead of Columbia. But
when the second mark was rounded
Charlie Barr showed the sailors from
across the sea little trick in Ameri-
can sailing. The Shamrock which
was still in the lead at this mark by
small margin, swung out in wide
circle around the stake. The Ameri-
can boat came down upon the mark
with rush, skimming past within a
few feet. Over went the tiller, and
the Columbia was gibed around al
most at right angles, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, the American
yacht was reaching for home with
every sail straining and pulling, fully
two lengths ahead of her rival.
Columbia won by 2 minutes and ~
seconds actual time and 8 minutes So
seconds corrected time

DR.. EVANS ADDRESS
Before Loantaka Council Royal Ar
eanunn. Tuesday Evening.

| Medical Director B. D. Evans de-
livered an interesting and instructive
address on Tuesday night before the
members of Loantaka Council, Royal
Arcanum, on 1.-THE Relations Of the
Mentally Sound to the Mentally Per-
verted. The Doctor, who by both
education and experience is probably
as able to discuss this question as any
one in the world, gave to his subject
most exhaustive treatment, begin
ming with early Bible times, covering
the different periods and citing a
number of we'll known instances.
Commenting on the treatment of the
insane in New Jersey, the Doctor
said: "The statesmen in other States,
philanthropists in other common
wealths and persons interested in hos
pital construction all over the world,
point to the State of New Jersey as
being in the first and foremost ranks
in this noble charitable work. But
that which most commands the re-
spect Of the best thinking people in
this and other States Is found in the
fact that her Governors and her Leg
latures have, with wise-decision, time
and again said that our hospitals, our
public charities, must be maintained
and kept free from political eoItami-
nation.
In closing DIR. Evans said: eff 1
have by this brief address directed
your thoughts to an earnest consider.
alton Of what is meant by true fra
ternity if have caused you to ser
iously reflect upon the fact that true
charity is not the gift of favor with
thought that in the future it will
be returned or repaid, but that the
humanity and brotherhood of man to
man consists in helping those in need
those unfortunate and afflicted be-
cause they are in need, then / have
done something to stimulate you in
the support and promotion of one of
the highest principles Of Christianity,
and my efforts have not been totally
in vain

FOOT BALL SEASON OPENS.
Willard Cutler, Jr., FIass Great
Game.

About three hundred spectators saw
the High School team play the Port
Dram "a. @. to a tie Saturday after
noon. 1t was without doubt one OF
the best games that has been PLAYED
by any High School team for the past
two seasons.
Willard W. Cutler, jr., the local IS crack
fullback, played his game like veter
an. Time and time again ne would
plunge through Port Grams center,
making gains Of from three to ten
yards. The first half ended with a
score of 11-5 in favor of the High
School
In the second half Port Dram by
massing her center plays carried the
ball steadily down the field for her
second touchdown from which Ellis
kicked goal tieing the score. The
High School failed to score in
this half and the game ended with
the score of eleven to eleven.
For the locals the playing Of Carrell,
Allen, Haven and Sturgis is worthy
of note while Ellis played good
game for the visitors.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Senator Jim Smith Had Machine.
Not Delegates.


The Democratic State Convention at
Trenton was not one Of the lion and
lamb" kind. Mol twas simply con-
test for supremacy in the State between
ex-senator James Smith, Jr., on the one
hand and Mayor James Seymour, Bob
Davis and other Hudson county mag
mates on the other. The result showed
that while the wiley ex Senator from
Essex had the machine, the other side
had the convention, hence the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Seymour on the second
ballot.
The Morris county delegation report
that is, some of them say-it was an
earnest" convention, others that it was
"a monkey and parrot time, " while
others say ''it was great" Probably all
are correct.
At any rate, after an all night session
and a continuous day performances,
Mayor Seymour was nominated on the
second ballot about early candlehght on
Wednesday. The result was complete
knockout for Senator Jim Smith, who,
while he had the machine, could not
control the delegates.
The Morris county delegation organ
lied as follows: Chairman, Robert D.
Foote. Committees: Credentials, Thos.
II. Hoagland; Resolutions, E. A. Quayle;
Rules, e. S. Burke; Permanent Organi-
zatiori, w. W. Cook; member of State
Committee, Willard w. Cutler.

Mckinley the Beloved.

The Chronicle has been favored with
the following interview with Angus
tus Crane, Jr., formerly a resident of
this city, and who for many years has
been a we'll known banker of Wash
ington,. Mr.. Crane for years enjoyed
a personal acquaintance with the late
President Mckinley, of whom he
spoke as follows: ST am thankful
that it has been my privilege to
know such a man as William McKin-
ley. From long residence in Wash
intgon myself and from information
obtained from others, do not think
there was ever man before the
American republic who was SO gener-
ally beloved since the time Of Abra-
ham Lincoln. 1t was my privilege to
know Mr.. Mckinley we'll. He occu-
pied suite of rooms in the Ebett
House, on the first floor above our
banking house and naturally / met
him frequently.
81 we'll remember his constant de-
votion to his wife who even years ago
was au invalid. Frequently upon the
adjournment of the House. Mr. Nc
Kinley would come to his apartments
where he would find a half hundred
constituents or parties who wanted
to confer with him about public OF
private business. He was always
polite and after shaking hands with
them would say, Gentlemen, / am
glad to see you but this is the hour
always give to Mrs. Mckinley. II
you win excuse me for the present
will be glad to join you at the ex
piraticn of that time, and then il
the weather was favorable he assisted
and frequently carried Mrs. McKin
ley to the carriage when she was un
able to walk. His devotion in. this
respect was a matter of public com
ment.
The late President was pure mind
ed, level headed and influential to /
remarkable degree. l we'll remember
walking down Pennsylvania Avenue
with him some years ago when he wa
member of Congress, and as h,
passed the White House, remarked
Major, we are going to put you Their
some time, to which Mr.. McKinle.
laughingly replied, When you do, Mr.
Crane, / will keep my account in you
bank
Mr.. Crane, who was in a reminis
cent mood, referred to number 0
other incidents in which the lat
President was prominent figure
He referred to his death as one of th
most awful oalamities that had eve
befallen our country.
Concerning the administration o
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Crane SAT-
that the opinion was very gen
eral in Washington that he was enti
tied to the confidence of the peopl
and that his administration woul
follow closely that undertaken by hi
predecessor.

The game of base bali at Madison
which was the only one played in
this vicinity last Saturday drew good
sized and enthusiastic crowd
Hurry up boys. let's play fast" as
the good natured catcher of the ex-
Cubans said, seemed the watch-word of
the game which was well played from
beginning to end.
The Madison team was strengthened
by kebler as pitcher, and "Cad' Howell
of the Field Club as first baseman, but
despite their efforts the score shows the
following defeat:
Ex- Cuban, Q 00O 13 o.
Madison, 900 800 0 0 o. 2 Z
The record made by the Madison club
has been an unusually good one, it hay-

First Effort a Success.

The play and minstrel show given last
week by the Morristown Musical and
Literary Association Of the Young Mems
Catholic Association not only gave to
them a most enviable reputation as good
entertainers, but added materially to
their treasury The net proceeds will
amount to over $500. This is the first
venture the young men have made, and
they are to be heartily commended for
the degree of success attained, and
special mention should be given those at
its head. Paul q. Zimmerman, as lead
er of the orchestra, brought forth all the
best qualities of those under. him, and
the music was most pleasing and well
rendered. The vocal part was under the
direction of Harry Freeman, while the
drama, "Robert Emmett reflected the
good work done by Thomas Malley as
director. The minstrels, which were full
of good things from beginning to end,
were ably managed by John B. Holly,
who acted as interlocutor, with John
Powers, William Markey and James
Lyons as bones, and William Riordan,
Fred Allen and George Babbitt as tam
boes. Special credit is due to each and
every one who assisted, the work OF
like" Babbitt receiving the usual rounds
of applause he was ably assisted by
Jimmie" Lyons. The historic three
act drama celebrating the life of the
martyr of Irish liberty, Robert En-
mett." was most pleasingly rendered by
cast of character, all well adapted to
their various parts, and all meriting the
hearty applause received.
