Weather and Crop Conditions.

Central Office, State Experiment Sta
ton, New Brunswick, N. j.,
August 18th, 902
Cloudy to partly cloudy and very
sultry weather, with heavy local
rains and high winds in places, have
again characterized the week. These
conditions have greatly hindered the
harvesting of oats and meadow hay in
the Central and Northern Sections.
In the western portion of the former,
on Sunday evening, very destruc-
tive storm passed over portions of
Mercer County, doing considerable
damage, especially in the vicinity of
Trenton The heavy rain that fell
during the evening beat down many
fields of corn and badly washed the
fields. In the Southern section more
favorable conditions obtained, and
all crops are reported to be in a most
fourishing condition. The harvesting
of the second crop of hay and clover
is progressing, and the yield promises
to be larger than the first. Grapes
in all sections will be fine crop; no
rot has appeared. Large quantities
of early apples have been shipped
during the week and the forwarding
of watermelons has begun.

Jerseys Oldest Map.

A State map has.been found in Oradell
which shows the dividing line between
East and West jersey. The Rev. E. T.
Sanford, of Hackensack, discovered in
the possession of Kimball G. Atwood, of
Oladell, what is probably the Oldest pub
lished map of the State of New Jersey.
The map was made by John T. Ham
mond. The old line began at Little Egg
Harbor, and was surveyed in 1887, and
is called Keith's line. 1t follows the
western lines of Monmouth, Middlesex
and Somerset Counties There is also
line marked as Lawrence's line, run in
1713. This begins at Little Egg Harbor
and runs east of Keith's line and crosses
the State in northerly direction along
the eastern end of Schooley's mountain

is thirty miles south of Port Jervis

EXCEPTION.
Telephone Eve,s-Droppers.. >,

Telephone stories are numerous
these days-some are funny some pa
thetic. Occasionally there comes over
the wire story full of sorrow and
trouble. while more often the listener,
more especially those connected by
a party wire. and who regularly make
it practice to answer all the rings,
irrespective of their regular call over
heard conversation which as intend
ed causes them to hang the receiver
up with bang, though not before
some such expressions as "the horrid
thing, she's just too mean for any
thing" etc., slip along the wire.
When the telephone rings for a
neighbor across the way it is the
greatest temptation in the world for
some,women quietly to take down the
receiver and hear what is going on.
One woman who has been quite an
noying to the other people ON her
party line got lesson the other day
she will doubtless remember. The
telephone rang, and, as usual, she
went to it and quietly took the re-
ceiver down so that the two who were
trying to talk could hear each other
only indistinctly.
Hello, hello, Mrs. Brown. Oh,
dear, somebody's got down their re-
ceiyer. Can you hear me? Oh, l
wish they'd stop that. " The woman
who was listening heard her dis
tinctly.
"No, I can just barely hear you, :"
came the answer indistinctly. "It's
so provoking, isn't it. Now I want
you to come"
The rest of the sentence was lost.
"Hello, Mrs. Brown-hello. Can
you hear me now?"
"Yes, little-that woman across
the street has got her receiver down
that's Mrs. M, you know. 1 guess
she PUSHES to the telephone to hear
what I've got to say every time my
phone rings"
Indeed, and don't do any such
thing" came the third voice, and the
two women who were trying to talk
heard the receiver go up with a soft
click.

herself, said Mrs. Brown.

A LARGE PENSION LIST

The number of pensioners upon the
rolls at the beginning of the new fis-
cal year on July l, had reached the
astounding total of 500, 446, a number
little short of the standing armies
of France and Germany combined.
The whole number of men upon the
rolls of the Union army at the begin
ming of 1865 the last year of the war,
was 956, 460. 1t will be seen that the
army of pensioners is now greater
than the army in actual service at it's
highest. There have been some addi-
tions to the pension lists from more
recent service, but there are few in
comparison with those that date from
the Civil War.
The growth of the pension list has
gone on at a rate increasing with the
lapse of time. A year after the close
of the war. July /, 1866, the number
was 1876, 1872 the next year it was 1853, =
1873, and so it grew in regular progress
slons, until, in the course of twenty
years, it had reached 365, 1888. At
that time it was thought that the
maximum had been reached and that
the number of pensioners would
naturally diminish. But pensioners
are of those Of whom few die and
none resign. The lists continued to
expand. In 1892 there was an ad-
dition Of 200, 900 names, bringing the
total to S76, 068, and from that on the
increase proceeded equally to 1898, TIA
in 1898 and thence 10 the figures given
above.

Quincy Adams Sawyer Great Hit.

Quincy Adams Sawyer has run the
gauntlet of the Academy of Music's
theatre going public, and New York
City has adjudged it to be one of the
best, purest and most wholesome of
rural dramas ever written. AS in the
book, so in the play, the principal
character is a young lawyer, who
seeks and finds rest and recuperation
in the country. The place selected
is Mason S Corner, far up among the
Berkshire Hills, where the entire &C
tion of the play occurs. The local
atmosphere is perfect. 1t brings one
in touch with the people of the Berk
shire Hill town, whose ways are so
different from city ways, and yet
whose qualities of head and heart are
entirely similar. The play is beauti-
fully staged, and the company pre-
senting it is one of the best ever seen
in rural drama. Ever since the
opening night at the Academy of
Music the attendance has been enor-
nous. The engagement is limited to
four weeks

The numerous drownings at sea
shore and watering places are gener-
ally attributed to the strength of the
treacherous undertow sweeping the
bathers from their feet and should
serve as warning that bathing in
the unsheltered sea where winds and
tides have free course, is peril that
should not be risked without ample
means of protection at hand The
undertow is a current under the sur
face running in different direction
from the surface water. 1t gives no
warning of it's existence to the mex
perienoed. 1t is not constant, and
may be very strong one day in places
where there was none the day before.
A resultant of conditions that cannot
always be observed or calculated it is
often unsupported The first know
ledge of it one may have is the sense
of being swept off ones feet if wad-
ing, or of being borne away our suck
ed down in spite of one's best efforts
in swimming. 1t is especially hazard
GUS for persons to venture out of shall
low water unless there are ready and
watchful boatsmen near to rescue
them If in peril. To venture into a
heavy surf without experienced
guides is always foolhardy.

THE CORNER STONE,

The first law enacted by the first
United States Congress was protec-
tion measure. The principle of pro-
lection has been advocated by the ma
jority of the leading men of the mn
ton Even Jefferson and jackson on
the Democratic side have favored it,
says the Jersey City Journal.
1t is a corner stone in the Republi
can policy. When the protective laws
were in force the country has pros
pered. When the principle was ig-
nored the people had hard times
The Democratic party has been OPP
posed to protection mainly because
the southerners had no interest in
manufactures and because protection
is the Republican policy.
The Republican party is not welded
to any particular tariff bill. 1t favors
a tariff that will protect any or all
American industries in which foreign
competition by cheap labor may enter
American markets and undersell the
products of American factories.
The Democratic policy, if lit can
be called policy, when it is simply
opposition to the Republicans, is to

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
THE BANNERS WHoPPER,

The Banner Giles when it says,
referring to two communications in
last weeks Chronicle, relative to
trolleys:
"The Chronicles two trolley COM
munications both written by its
editor, do not say much, but to the
initiated they show the attitude of
that paper AS the Banner has said
before, if we are to have trolley let
it be a good one. 1t is going to
come in time and when it does it
will be the one promoted by the
gentlemen whose names nave already
been SO often published in connection
with trolley matters. Of that we
may be assured and that will be salts
factory if any trolley scheme can be. "
The articles were written by two
we'll known merchants, of the town,
who have for long time in COM
mon with others been concerned for
the future business interests of Nor
ristown and who, justly we think,
are of the opinion that such in
terests will be materially advanced
by trolley.
The Chronicle is strong advocate
of a trolley, and "good one" too
as reference to it's files will show.
OF course, the Chronicle had faith
in The Morris County Traction Com
pany. because at it's head were such
representative men of Morris County
as Robert D. Foote, George W.
Sickle and John H. Capstick.
We understand the company has
met with serions opposition in GER
tain directions but the concern has
brains, money and grit enough to
fairly gridiron Morris County with
trolleys if it SO desires, and there
should be no further delay If the
Banner will wake up as to the posi-
tion taken by the Chronicle in this
question it will find that it's attitude
has ever been open and above board !;
further that we have always insisted
that trolley company must pay for
it's franchies, enter into written
agreements as to passage over and
care of highways, pay taxes from
gross receipts and argee as to head
way, fare and transfers.

quent, quick and cheap mode of con-
veyance, should at once do all in their
power to bring it about, and such SER
vice will be appreciated by those who
are trying to do so.
There is now an opportunity, I am
informed by j. E Melick, to secure
the building of an electrical street rail-
way in Morristown, If the same can be
started at the park in this city. The
arrangements are to build to and
through the villages of Hanover, Whip
pany, Malapardis, Collinsville, Wash
ington Valley, Brookside. Mendham
and Peapack, thus bringing to this place
large numbers of people who now sell
dom if ever come here to trade.
The company desires and deserves the
hearty support of all in securing the
necessary consents of property owners
to allow the building of the railroad.

heavy taxpayer, will put my shoulder
to the wheel and urge others to do the
same. This is one way to increase our

Elks New Grand Office.

At the session of the Grand Lodge

Exalted Ruler of the Grand Lodge
of Elks; W. B. Brock, of Lexington,
KY, was elected Grand Leading
Knight, and Judge j. @. Pickens, of
Denver, was elected Grand Loyal
Knight, all by reclamation.
The selection of the meeting place
for the next annual,convention will be
decided later.
The fight seems to have narrowed
down to Baltimore and Saratoga,
with Baltimore apparently in the
lead.
In the course of his opening ad-
dress, Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett
said:
"Elkdom believes in charity, teaches
charity, practices charity. Not the
charity that can be estimated in dol
lars and cents, not the charity that
seeks reward through public applause,
but doing good for it's own sake.
Charity without ostentation is the
great law of our Order. But we be-
lieve in higher charity. Charity
in speech, in friendship, in love, in
all the relations of man to man.
"The portals of Elkdom are thrown
wide to all manly applicants. 1t
draws no distinctions. In the repub-
licanism of our Government and
democracy of our ideas, all are
equal. The order molests no temple
desecrates no altar, profanes no sane
tuary. 1t robs no, man of his faith, at
tacks no creed, oriticises no sect. 1t
does not seek to suppIant the church
or usurp its functions. It's religion

By all odds the most important
announcement which has for many
years heen made in The Greater New
York will be made within few days
that will be the announcement of p
5 cent fare over the new underground
railroad system and its connections
from one end of the vast city formed
by the creation of the Greater New
York to the other. One end is in
Westchester County and the other
end is at the eastern extreme of Coney

five-cent ride in the whole world,
probably.
