Morris Academys New Assistant.

Morris Academy's New Assistant.
The encouraging outlook for the COM
ing year in Morris Academy has made
it necessary for II. W. Landfear, its
principal, to secure a second assistant in
addition to A. P. Tuller. who has been
come cted with the school for some
time.
John A. Marsh, class of 1901 Amherst,
has been engaged for the position Mr..
Marsh is from New Milford, Conn, His
college preparatory work was done at
Williston Seminary, East Hampton,
Mass. receiving the honors of valedic-
torian in class numbering twenty-four.

the $500 prize for best entrance examin-
alton, and in his sophomore year he was
awarded the 5000 mathematical prize.
He was one of the first four of uhe
eighty-three graduates this year at Am
herst and was one of the commencement
speakers.
Mr.. Marsh has had considerable ex
perience in tutoring and this faculty,
together with his integrity and moral
ity will make him most valuable work

One of the premier features of the ex-
hibit of the National Glass Company on
the North Midway is the display of the
method of making spun glass and which
is highly spoken of by some of the visit
ors from Morristown. The fine strands
of glass are drawn from bar about half
an inch thick. The end of the bar is
held in flame so that it becomes
thoroughly soft A strand is then
drawn from the end CT the bar. The
strand is fastened to big wheel. The
wheel, revolving rapidly draws out the
strand of glass, all the time winding it
around the rim or tire of the wheel.
Presently a silver streak or rim may be
seen developing on the rapidly revolving

Against the Trust.

The New Jersey Feed Company or
ganized some time ago at 573 henderson
street, Jersey City, is concern in
which the farmers of this section are
naturally much interested.
E. w. Kimball of Parsippany, the
well-k known freeholder from Hanover,
and Charles II. Leonard also of Par
sippany, are in the dictatorship. The
former is president, the latter secretary
while Nathan G. Hart, one of Newton's
wellknown business men, is also an
official.
The business of the old trust which
had monopoly on brewers grains and
sprouts has been decidedly interfered
with by the new organization which has
already comp lied the lowering of their
prices at least fifty cents per ton. The
business of the new company has in
creased so rapidly that Mr.. Leonard is
practically giving his whole attention to
il at present.

Coolest City-Somethings to be
Seen.
The total attendance to the 11th inst
was 1899, 86S. The exposition attend
ance began on the goth of May. but
at that time many features were incom-
plete and the people remained away.
The average daily attendance for June,
including five Sundays, was over 81 900.
The excessively hot weather during the
last two weeks has had deterrent in.
fuence on the attendance, notwith
standing Buffalo is rated as "the coolest
city" by several degrees, on account of
the breezes from Lake Erie.
1t is believed that July and August
will easily bring the total above 5,000.-
600 and it will remain for September
and October to bring the remainder of
the ten millions at which the status of
of the guessers have been SET
At the Chicago Worlds Fair fifty
eight per cent. of the attendance was

thing that has perhaps counted seriously
against the attendance to date is the

RESOLUTIONS
Some Matters Concerning the
Sewer Question.

be Increased.

De increased
At the regular monthly meeting OF
the Board of Alderman last Friday
night. the members of that body dis
pelled all doubts as to their attitude Oh
the sewerage matter by the unanimous
adoption of the following resolution
"Whereas, SUMMIT and certain otnel
Municipalities are about to build trunh
sewerto tidewater, under the provisions
of chapter 36, Laws OF 1872
"Resolved, That the Commlttee OIL
Sewerage be instructed to apply on pc
half of this board for consent 10 unlte
with them in this work.
eResolved, That when sucn consen'
has been given in satisfactory terms
that the committee be instructed to Cal
upon the counsel of the Board to pre-
pare such ordinances as shall be neces
sary for the carrying out OF the provls
ionsIof the act authorizing the undertak
ing.
Previous to the adoption of the reso
lutions routine business was transacted
On motion of Alderman Reeve $1,000
was transferred from the Miscellaneous
Appropriation for the use of the sewer
age committee and a note OF $7, 600 for
four months was ordered discounted in
anticipation of taxes and for the pay
ment of current bills amounting to
$3,e51.17.
The report of the Board of Engineers
recommended the confirmation of the
election of w. G. Powell as member
of Resolute Hook and Ladder Company
and William M Taylor and P. Noonan
to Washington Engine Company.
When an attempt was made to amend
the town ordinance approved 1878,
governing the charges by hackmen from
twenty five cents to fifteen cents, bit
ter discussion ensued. Alderman Burke,
laboring under the delusion that all
persons possess as much of the coin OF
the realm as himself, said he did not
think the larger amount sufficient
compensation for conveying patrons, to
certain parts of the town within the
corporal limits and moved that the
matter be laid aside forever and day. "
Alderman Grove and Alderman Hurt
zig thought the present charges exorbi-
tant-the former cited several instances
that proved his contention. The matter
was finally laid upon the table indeti-
nitely, the Republican members oppos-
ing the action.
An ordinance to increase the license
fee of hackmen from 50 to $40 took a
similar course by the same vote. Under
suspension of the rules, the amendment
to the town ordinance regulating the
speed of automobiles and other vehicles
propelled by power, was adopted. For
merly a fine of $40. was imposed for
running through the streets at faster
rate than eight miles per hour. An Of
tense of this character will now cost the
guilty persons $25.
Mayor Fox read an invitation sent to
the members of the board to attend the
fifth annual convention of the League of
American Municipalities to be held in

THE MADISON ROOTfR.
He Howls With Delight When the
Home Team Wins

Home Team Wins,
Two hundred Madison rooters cheered
and yelled and metaphorically stood on
their heads last Saturday when the
Madison A. A. defeated the Morristown
Field Club in one of the most delirlous
old games Of base ball that has been
seen hereabouts in many moon. 1t
was game OF kicks, quarrels, errors
and bad umpiring with the Madison
players always in evidence. The first
baseman of the visiting team appeared to
be the Main" squeeze as far as kicking
was concerned but when his breath gave
out for a second or two at intervals,
Goodman, with a mouth like railroad
tunnel and the pragmatic and boisterous
McGrath followed him up with sort of
''to be continued in our next argument
that was disgusting.
The game was really lost in the first
inning. The home team placed youth
named Benjamin in the box end he was
the rummiest twirler that happened
since Whitsuntide. His associates call
ed him i"Maud. Somehow or other
the nickname seemed quite to agree
with him for he pitched ball with about
the same effectiveness that the Mauds
of fiction make bread or dust the parlor.
He began by swinging his arm around
in a circle and then tossing the sphere
at some object three yards away from
the plate. Then he tossed few along
the ground. After he had given three
batters free passes to first, allowed three
base hits and the men behind him had
contributed a brace of errors, he was
relieved by Little and sent to left garden
In that position he juggled a few and
was then transferred to right field. In
the second inning Behr replaced him.
Poor Benjamin He may be able to
play croquet, but base ball.
But there are others. Howell muffed
two fly balls; Bates missed everything
that went his way; O'Connor was guilty
of foolish play at second and his bro
ther at third made no attempt to stop
two ground hits that looked difficult;
Little threw a ball twenty feet over
Howell's head ditto Ford. Under the
circumstances how could the team win.
Yet, despite the fact that such blunders
were made the home team would have
won easily if they had pitcher, for
many of the Madison men played stupid
ly and showed what mediocre bunch
they are. 1t was not well ontested
ball game by any means, but battle
replete with misplays and errors. Of
all living humorists Mark Twain could
write it as it should be written. The

ARBOR DAY
Secretary Freeman Issues
Some Instructions.

Secretary Freeman of the state
board of forestry, yesterday issued
an additional Arbor day proclama-
tion to the county superintendents,
teachers and pupils, s,instructing them
as to the kinds of trees to be planted.
Mr. Freeman says.
For planting select thrifty trees,
four to six feet or under in hight OF
the sugar maple, linden, white and
red elms, yellow poplar, red, scarlet,
laurel and white oaks, white and
green ash, b ckeye, catalpa, locust,
chestnut, Towering dogwood, mul-
berry, service berry. Evergreen
Norway maple and other foreign va
rieties can be purchased at from 81
to IS per.thousand Seeding"
He cautions the planters to be
careful and not strain or tear the
roots and to set the trees in the
ground at least two inches deeper
than they would naturally stand.

Why Not Wait.

Inquiry is rife as to the meaning
of council in the matter of filing the
streets and alleys with poles again
for the municipal electric light f>G1t.
An ordinance is now pending in
council which is really a move in the
right direction such that even the
companies who have poles to move
under its provisions are not object
ing to it feeling that it will obviate
trouble in the future, by which many
poles are to come down and joint
poles made to do for all companies as
far as can be done. This will remove a
good many poles. Now the promoters
of the municipal electric light plant
disregard this ordinance. Poles are
being put up all over the city with
out regard to the rights of the
property owners. Poles are being
put on sidewalks where there are
other poles with but a sing'e e system
of wires on them and within six feet
of the new ones. Seems as if it
would have been well to wait until
the ordinance was in effect and then
try and live up to its provisions.

Wanted His Honey.

The Hoosier Drill men who were
here this week tod many a good
STORY while about the office, and this
one is said to be a fact, on one of
them who married Richmond girl.
1t seems that the hotel where he
used to stop at Muncie, when on the
road, nearly always had honey on the
table. This time be had his wife
along. He had told her about the
honey part of it. There was nice
hot biscuit for supper but some way
the honey was missing. The Drill
tuau called the waiter over and said
See here, where is my honey2" The
waiter grinned-"Youm mean the lit
tie black haired one; she don't work
here anymore. Billy Wilson, who
told the story, said the other fellow
never did get it fixed up with his
wife, which is our reason for omit
ting names.

EarIham Cemetery.

Attention has often been called to
the bad provision which is made in
Earlham cemetery for the burial of
the pauper<. Mr.. Bradbury this morn
ing in speaking Of the matter said
that i. should be different and that
it lay with the city and township to
have it SO. He says that the
ground, something over an acre, was
bought by the two from the original
owners of the ground and not from
the cemetery people. He has made
a proposition to the city that if they
.will haul the dirt to make the fill
there the cemetery will supply
=. in any quantity free oscbarge He
says that $500 spent in hauling the
dirt and levelling it would be all the
expense necessary to make this as
good as any other part of the ceme-
terry. The dirt would only have to
be hauled a few rods Miss Rhoades
had interested herself in the matter,
but now that she is going away un-
less some one else takes it up it will
be dropped, and it is really matter
of necessity.
