life of white-haired old man, the
happiness of whole family, in her
hands-there would be no room for
self-she must be more patient. She
remembered Longfellows's beautiful
words:
Bear lily in thy hand
Gates of brass cannot Withstand
One touch of that magic wand"
She would lose no time in puzzling
reflections, but do that which had been
asked of her. She would go, lilly in
hand" and refuse to leave her hus-
band until her prayer was granted.
She smiled to herself as she thought
how diplomatic she was growing. On
the last occasion that she had ia

I'VE went to Blantyre, my son Johr
and l. He told us that he would not
renew the lease. At first We thought
that he was mad; it seemed to us that
the very stones by the wayside must
rise up and cry out against it. He
said that we must leave Bromhill. Ny
son John looked at him and answered
The Moores have always lived at
Bromhill, and always will. we shall
see about that said Blantyre. I have
more eligible tenant in view, and
you will be compelled to leave whether
you like it or not This to Moore
of Bromhill, my lady! think We were
too stunned to speak. We went out
of his Office, and it seemed to me that
the earth and sky were meeting Then
we heard afterward that Peter Harro-
gate had bribed the agent with fifty
pound note to persuade Lord Caraven
TO refuse US the lease, My lady, it is
a crying injustice. We are Sons OF the
soil, We have made the farm what it
is. If the earl sends us from it, he
will send me to my grave. I should
die on the threshold, I could not live
one day away from my house. He
must not do it, Lady Caraven. The
bonds of long generations must not
be SO easily broken. He cannot send
his old retainers away in that fashion
men whose fathers died in the SER
vice of his ancestors, men whose bod
les have been interposed to meet the
blows intended for the lords of Cara
ven. What is fifty pounds compared
to that?''
NO." replied Lady Caraven, grave
ly; lit must not be-"
They told me-" the old man cOntin-
ued, that the young earl is careless,
and that he leaves everything to Blan-
tyre. You will plead for me, my lady;
you will remember that an old, white
haired man has left his life in your
hands-for I should die if left my
home for one day. Ask for justice for
me, and, if the agent must be bribed,
I will give him twice fifty pounds; ask
for Justice for me as you hope for
mercy"
All pale and trembling, she rose
from her seat, frightened at the re-
sponsibility that he had placed upon
her. remembering how her last petit
ton for merciful consideration had
been received.
You may leave your cause in my
hands, she said. Il think may
promise that you shall have JUSTICE"
He raised his trembling hands and
blessed her, and Lady Caraven went
indoors with weight at her heart.
Not least did she feel her great an
ger against Blantyre, this man who
Influenced her husband for evil, who
advised him and eounseled him in
'wrong-doing, this man who committed
all unkind and unjust acts in the
name of the earl. Then, with her
vivid imagination, she was not slow to
picture the painful scenes in the farm
at Bromhill. It seemed to her al
most cruel that one man should have
SO much power over another. She re-
membered her last defeat, and shud-
dered when she thought what another
would cost her.
She must set about her present I'M
dertaking differently; she must be
more gracious, more winning; she

Capt Ira j. and Sarah e. Lindsey, died
at Eustis, Florida, on Tuesday. Miss
Lindsey comes of an old Morris county
family ..and has lived here all her life.
She graduated from the public school in
the class of 1875 and for two years
atterward she taught school at Fox Hill,
Thence she returned to Morristown and
for over twenty years she was faithful
and Woodworking teacher in the public
school here.
Years ago Miss Lindsey had a severe
attack of grip, and returning to work
before she entirely recovered she broke
down. The Board of Education granted
her long vacation but she finally re-
signed her situation and later went
with her sister to Florida hoping that in a
warmer climate she might regain her
strength.
Recent letters told of improved health
but an attack of heart failure caused
her death early on Tuesday morning
During her stay in Eustis Mr.
and Mrs: George Aber and Mr., and
Mrs. Benjamin Vogt former Morris
tonians showed her much kindness.
Miss Lindsey was member of South
Street Presbyterian Church, and her
funeral services this afternoon at hsr
late residence on Western avenue will
be conducted by her pastor Rev. DR..

SPECIAL ELECTION AND CANDl-
DATES,

In accordance with instruction from
Governor Murphy who had no option
in the matter, County CLERK Voor-
bees has issued call for a special
election to be held on Tuesday, June
18th, to fill the vacancy in the Fourth
Congressional District caused by the
death of Congressman Salmon. AS
will be noticed the election is to be
held in the Counties of Morris, Sus-
sex, Warren and Hunterdon, compris-
ing the Fourth District as appor-
toned when Mr.. Salmon was elected.
The November election will be held
under the apportionment as made IN
1901. The laws of 1900, section lao
provides as follows:
Every special election shall be con-
Quoted by the same election officers
and in the same manner as the gen
eral election is or may be conducted ;
nominations shall be made for the
offices to be filed at such special cleo
tion in the manner herein provided
for the nomination for such offices at
the general election, and the register
used at the election next preceding
such special election shall be used
thereat, subject to revision and cor
rection in tire same manner as is here
in provided for the revision and cor
rection of the register at charter or
local elections, with such modifica-
tions, if any, as to the times of meet
ing of the registry boards, as the
county board of elections may deem
necessary.
There has been very little talk yet
among the Republicans as to who will
be named as the candidate for Con-
gress at the special election. About
the only name as yet mentioned is
that of Judge Herr, who made fine
run before against tremendous odds.
On the Democratic side the woods are
full OF candidates possible and i'm
possible. Among those prominently
mentioned from Morristown are ex-
Judge Willerd W. Cutler, ex-Mayor
Edward A. Quayle; Samuel Brant, of
Madison. Senator Martin of Sussex,
and ex-Judge Kuehl of Hunterdon.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cutler
would not accept the nomination
hence it is supposed that the Morris
County Democrats will push the
claims of Mr.. Quayle. 1t will be
remembered that at the convention
when Mr.. Salmon was named Mr..
Quayle withdrew in favor of the
former.

FowLER's BILL A GOOD ONE,

The Fowler bill, H. r., No. 13, 1868,
reported favorably to the House by
the Banking and Currency Committee
include the two very vital points of
the maintenance of the parity of our
metallic currencies by paving gold
for silver and of providing credit cur
rency by conservative gradual steps.
These two very important features Of
the bill are in keeping with the
pledges of the Republican party in
the Philadelphia platform and should
be passed in this session of Congress-,
less timidity interfere with action in
the Eext Congress preceding the ma
tional election. If the denominations
of silver certificates are reduced as
provided, gold can be paid for silver
without increasing the gold reserve
provided in the law of 1900. Until
machinery is provided for the main.
tenance of parity between gold and
silver, money law agitation will con-
tinue to our financial discredit. If
the expense of bill of exchange on
New York is affected by political
agitation of money laws, bills of ex-
change ON London will be preferred
at the expense of tribute and the
growth of our export trade. The pro-
lection provided for credit currency
is ample and will insure to the benefit
of the borrower without it's being
done at the expense of the lender of
the money. The general provisions
of the bill evidence careful considera-
ton and the methods are wise and
conservative. The time to secure
these much desired changes by legis-
lation is when political party is
committed to them. If the party fail
to keep it's pledge, it will probably be
long time before these much needed
legislative steps can be secured and
such delay will be at great cost to
all the American people.

"WILL 1T PAY?"
MORRISTOWN, N. ].

Under the caption "Will it Pay?" the
Trenton State Gazette remarks:
1t will hardly pay the Republicans to
undertake to elect one of their party to
serve the unexpired term of Congress
man Salmon in the Fourth district.
Salmon's plurality over Herr in 1900
was 1, 644, and those figures could not be
overcome without most vigorous bat
tie, with the chances largely in favor Of
the enemy.
Were 1T not for the fact that three of
the counties that are now numbered in
the fourth district have been apportioned
to other districts under the redistrict-
ing plan put into effect last year, the
game might be worth hunting; but as it
is, there is little prospect of gaining any
thing by contesting the election Of a
Democrat for the short term.
