THE UNITED STATES HOTEL
A. E. Voorhees,, Prop. Park Place

From time immemorial every city,
town, village or hamlet has had a
resting place for the weary traveller
which in former times went by the
title of inn or tavern, but as the years
rolled on and the demand for public
accommodation became greater, mod
ern science and ingenuity were
brought to bear and the result is that
the simple word tavern has been
changed to the more dignified one OF
hotel. Nor is the word the onlychange
as the large and palatial hostelries
OF our larger cities supplied with all
modern conveniences can testify. In
the above connection we desire to call
attention to the popular United States
Hotel, which, though not massive in
size, yet combines within it's hospit-
able walls all the essential require
ments usually found in our first-class
hotels. The accommodations are of
the best and the rooms are neat and
handsomely furnished and supplied
with all modem improvements The
table is the best in the city and the
delicacies and substantials of the sea-
son and market find their way into
the kitchen where they. are prepared

merits the splendid support accorded

mated career of locality Mr. James
A. Muir is sole proprietor and mana
ger of the mill which bears his name
and which was instituted some TWEEN
ty years ago. His father, Mr.. Josiah

of some two tons of product daily and

POCONO ICE co.
Offices at 2z South Street

There may be very few degrees of
difference apparent in many kinds of
ice, but, as to quality, it is long
way from an inferior species of ice to
a first-class article. 1t was once
taken for granted that the chief uses
of ice related to the churn in summer
and to ice water all the year, but it
has developed into an acute public
necessity and is now generally en-
ployed as an indispensable essential
in remedial medical practice. So that
not only the question of the best sup
ply, but that of a supply of the very
best and purest ice, has forced itself
upon the popular mind; and this
matter as to quality has brought into
operation among many of those en-
ployed in this line of trade the best pre-
ventive means against impurities and
the highest processes in housing,
handling and delivery. 1t is nowhere
denied that the Pocono product is OF
the purest and best to be had any
where.
The Pocono Ice Company is so well
known as to its personality that little
need be said of it in review like
this, save to announce at the incep-
tion of the season of greatest demand
that the stock and facilities are such
as to assure the promptest and fullest
service. For this end there is stor-
age capacity of 100 900 tons and am
pie wagon facilities.
The business is both wholesale and
retail and the price of ice is the low.

OUR SOLID BUSINESS HOUSES.
Unique Running Account of What is Being Done
in Trade by Many of the Most En-
terprising and Representative.

Morristown, famed everywhere for
native picturesqueness and patriotic
tradition--the historic section of one OF
the most historic of the States and the
select centre of most charming social
personages and conditions-is still not
known wholly because of these lnesti-
mable advantages. But Morristown
has wide repute, too, for the fine ar
ray, large aggregate and the high
character of her business trades, fin
ancial and mercantile individuals and
establishments and it is, of these,
primarily, at this the Towering inter-
val of the very best of the business
seasons that the subjoined exhibit
is purposed to treat.
The Chronicle most cordially en-
lists itself in an effort, the manifest
interest of which has been to secure
in relief the name and the business
of as many as possible of those of
our citizens who are progressively
engaged in the trade and commerce
of Morristown, to the end that
others may have revealed to them
at a glance that ours is indeed an ever
busy, ever striving and ever -achiev-
ing centre of trade activity.

Monuments and MausoIeums

1t is a noticeable fact that almost
every skilled profession is represented in
our progressive community and in no
one line is this more apparent than in
that represented by Mr.. /. B. Dickinson,
whose excellent work has gained for him
a large and appreciative patronage
Mr.. Dickinson is designer and manu-
facturer of monuments and mausolenms
and the beautiful and artistic designs
executed by him in the past are the per-
lection of the art and have greatly aided
to artistically enhance rhe beauty of our
local cemeteries, those cities of the dead
where many loved ones sleep their last
long sleep. 1t is generally conceded that
no more fitting tribute could be paid to
a departed loved one than the placing of
suitable memorial over the grave to
mark their last resting place. Mr.. Dick
inson is prepared to execute all kinds of
cemetery and building work in granite,
marble and stone and at his commodious
yards may be seen superior line of
Swedish and American granite and Ital-
ian and Vermont marble of the best
quality. The artistic skill displayed in
the lettering and carving OF monuments
and building stone is a feature of Mr.
Dickinson work and should be seen to
be appreciated We com mend this rep
resentative industry to the favorable
consideration of the people of Morris
County and all who may do business
with Mr.. Dickinson will be courteously
and honorably treated. Mr.. Dickinson's
increasing business will necessitate his
removal to larger quarters on Morris
street in the near future.

1t has been we'll and POLITICALLY said
that "the browning glory OF man is
woman" and it might be said with
good deal of seriousness that "the
browning glory of woman is her bon
nett" For the wonderful consum-
nation of fitting circle about her
lovely features and for swath of fin
cry above her luxurious tresses, we
dare almost to fancy that the gor-
geous springtide, with it's ravishing
hues and prisms, was originally set
a part, if not originally created, for the
milliner For the milliner is one
of divine conceits and bewildering
ideals; and it is largely due to her
that womanhood is indebted for her
potential effectuality in the sublime
and other affairs of the world
At No. Union Row may be view
ed the very poesy of the mIlliner' IS
unrivalled art in the array of delicate
ly devised and ordered fabrics and
affixtures that oonspire to produce the
most elegant results in bonnet con-
cept'on and trimming. Mrs. Lundy's
establishment is at once a suggestion
of the excellence of style and taste
fulness which stamps all her efforts
and selections of the best class OF
novelties in trimming, ribbons, orna-
ments and all other articles in line
may be procured always here. Mrs.

"HOLTON"
Florist, 1870 South Street, Tel. 1875

Natures colors are truly unequalled.
No artist can portray them, however
skillful. The above is called to mind
in an examination of the beautiful
and artistic display of cut flowers, and
potted plants exhibited by Holton,
Morristown' popular florist The most
varied assortment of flowers,
plants and ferns for table ana home
decorations may here be procured al
the lowest prices including violets,
carnations and roses, all fresh and
fragrant The choice display OF
beautiful roses of various kinds laden
with fragrance which pervades the at.
mosphere reminds one of those exqui,
site and enduring lines of Tom
Moore:
You may break, you may shatter
The vase if you will
But the scent of the roses
Will hang round it still.
To the lovers of the beautiful, nc
place will be more delightful to visit
than Holton's and we can assure them
that the most courteous and consider
ate attention will be given theil

Special designs for weddings, fun
erals. receptions, ETC., are executed III
the most artistic manner and the
work hitherto performed by this es-
tablishment in that line has been the
perfection of the floral art. This
establishment is the recipient of the
patronage of our best families which
is sufficient recommendation as re-
CARDS its reliability.

HILL 6 CARSON

Store.

"This is certainly the incest place
in Morristown to trade They carry
such an elegant stock to select from
and sell at very reasonable prices, .
continued the speaker, who was lady
and member of one of Morristown'
prominent families. The place re.
ferred to was the commodlous and
handsome department store of Messrs.
Hill & Carson, located in the Meal
pin Block. This representative estab.
lishment is a favorite among the best
classes of our population who have
been quick to appreciate the many
advantages to be gained by trading
there. Their large and comprehensive
stock is conveniently accessible for
the inspection of patrons, each line
having a special denartment, thus
showing the goods off to the best adj
vantage An enumeration of the va
riety of goods handled is now in or
der and we will first describe the
millinery department. which is one OF
the artistic features of the establish
ment. The variety of walking and
outing hats exhibited are the perfec-
tion of the milliners' art and quoted
at figures which are within the
reach of all. Fancy neckwear for
women, the latest shades in gloves
and women's fancy hosiery are offered
at bargain prices, also an elegant and
tasteful selection of domestics and
linens. The department devoted to
dress goods is the most complete in
the city and includes varied assort-
ment of attractive up-to-date styles
which are now in vogue, and the
prices will be revelation to those

This firm are now exhibiting. to the
delight of their numerous lady pa

gents furnishing goods departments
which are models of their kind and
include the most stylish and durable
lines of mems and boys clothing and
gents furnishings to be found in this
section. The stock of ready made
clothing bears the stamp Of the lead

country whose product compares fav-
orably as far as fit, style, workman
ship and durability with custom
made garments, while the prices are
truly commendable. The line OF
gents furnishings includes every thing
needed by the most fastidious gentle

meritorious in the business life of
