1886, the erection Of the present beau
tiful edifice, occupying the exact
grounds on which the Old Tavern had
stood, was begun by the owners, Fl.
o. Marsh and p. HI. Hoffman, and by
the opening of fall was ready for oc-
cupancy The old inhabitants regard
ed the former structure with venera-
ton, and were sad to see it removed,
but they cannot feel that regret at its
removal that they would have felt, if
it had been demolished. 1t was still
to remain, and although changed, it
would yet gladen their eyes, as they
passed by it, and through it, III its
present position, devoted to the pur-
poses of true philanthropy. At the
timeof its removal, 1.-THE Jerseyman9
newspaper occupied the adjoining
building. The next issue Of that paper
made the following comments. 1.-THE
big elm tree next to us. has been cut
down to make room for the exit of
the ARNOLD Tavern building which
started off to leave us yesterday after
noon, and the beginning Of its trouble
was Witnessed by quite large num-
Der of people. 1t was necessary to
brace it up very strongly in order to
keep it together on its long and try
ing journey of one and a half miles
to it's new home, for old age has made
it somewhat shakey, although built
entirely of oak timber, but being a
genuine relic of SO honorable a name,
1T was we'll worthy such careful re-
moyal. With it is removed another of
the very few remaining buildings that
saw the Revolutionary war. On its
floor Washington tread many time,
ana at it's bar room, many soldier
has doubtless drank to the success of
the rebellion. and to the confusion
of the Red Coat. = What stories the
old house conld tell, if it could talk
of the scenes it had witnessed. We
part with it, not without regret, asTit
was a respectable old neighbour, and
venerable because Of its age, and the
historical associations connectedrwith
it. But we will gladly welcome the
fine new structure that is to take its
place and which will be great i'm
provement to this part of the town. 7
-Jerseyman, April 16. 1856.
This history of the Arnold Tav-
ern' was begun at the request of
different persons, who are interested
in all that relates to the history of
Morrlstown, and to Washington
stay in this historic place, during the
dark and discouraging winter'of 1777.
Some matters which at first sight,
might seem irrevelent to the main
subject have been interjected into the
story. 1t is believed that the descen-
dants Of these who take part with
him in establishing American indie
pendence, will not regret the presence
of these facts. The incidents have
been drawn from many sources andssit
is believed that they are as accurate
as it is possible to make them. The
writer having owned and occupied
the ARNOLD Tavern property since
1868. and having been in possession
of the old deeds, and papers relating
to the ownership, and history of the
property. is able to verify many of
the statements made in this historic
article. P. Fl. III.

Teachers May Now Join on the One
Per Cent. Basis.

Now is the time to join the retire
ment fund on the one per cent. basis,
but teachers must be quick about it.
The original law permitted all
teachers to join on the basis Of
monthly dues of one per cent. of their
salary without any other condition,
but the law of 1900 imposed much
severer terms on those who had
taught more than ten years These
the law of 1900 compelled to pay two
per cent, while teachers of fifteen or
more years were obliged to submit to
Ia medical examination and, if the
medical examination proved 'tsatis-
factory, they could join on the two
per cent. basis.
The act of 1900 has been declared
unconstitutional, and the retirement
fund is temporarily governed by the
old law. Any teacher, therefore, may
now join on the one per cent. basis,
without any other requirement.. The
new school bill contains the objec-
tionable features. 1t may be passed
any day SO teachers who wish to es-
cape the two per cent and medical
examination provisions should apply
for membership at once by postal card
to Miss e. A. Allen. secretary Of the
retirement fund board of trustees
1,S17 Garden street, Hoboken, N. J.
Applications must be dated.
1856 teachers are members Of the
fund and new names are being added
daily. The funds income is over
800. 600, its permanent endowment is
already above $61, 900, it is paying
$12, 491 in annuities, and has on file
many applications for retirement.

Probably since the world began there
was never period when men wasted
their time as little as they do now.
Whether they use it well or ill, they at
least do not let it slip away empty.
Never was the fascination of work so
potent as at the present moment, and
never before were the same keenness
and concentration displayed in the pur-
suit of distraction. Energy is the dom
inant quality of the Anglo-Saxon race,
the quality they love to exercise, the
quality they cannot choose but admire.
Work is no longer regarded as neces-
sary evil or even wholly as means to-
an end; it is valued for it's own sake.
The richest men in America work as
hard as the poorest-or at least pre-
tend to do so--lest society in. which
they move should suppose them men
of leisure, a superstition which would
be, we understand, against an Ameri-
can, whatever his position in life

Knickerbocker Theatre.

Everyone who enjoys wholesome
fun, bright lyrics and melodious
music should not miss Francis Will
son and company's performance of
"The Toreajor at the Knickerbock
Theatre. This production is the
greatest musical hit of the current
New York season and has attracted
wide attention. Seldom indeed has
so large company of such marked
individual talent been seen ON Broad
way. All the principal roles are play
ed by stars, or those who possess the
regulations of stars through their
successes in leading productions.
The scenery and costumes are superb
and dazzlingly beautiful in color
effects.
