When the invitation was received re-
Gently by Independent Hose Go. to at
tend the silver wedding ami ersary Of
Mr.. and Mrs MHchmore. which occurred
on Monday evening, it was promptly ac-
cepted and the large representation on
Monday night was an evidence OF the
pleasure it afforded the Morristown fire
men to once more turn their faces So
cally toward the Muchmore home in

1t was evident that Father Time had
dealt lightly with the couple who cor
daily welcomed their guests in the
music room. which was prettiIy decor
ated with laurel, palms and myrtle ber-
ries, thus harmonizing with the dec
orations in the other rooms.
Among the presents was solid silver
water pitcher, bearing the inscription:

Morristonians Heavily Interested

Taking testimony for the construc-
tion of the will of the late John /.
Blair, the multimillionaire of Blairs-
town who died three years ago was
begun before Vice chancellor Emery
III the Prerogative Court at Trenton
on Monday. DeWitt Clinton Blair,
son of the testator sole executor and
trustee of the estate is complainant
while Charles Scribner and other
grandchildren are defendants. Under
the will of Blair certain stocks and
bonds designated in the document
we're to go to the grandchildren,
Charles, Arthur, Isabelle, Anna and
J. Blair Scribner. But it was found
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of these bonds and stocks had
been disposed of between the time
the will was made and the death of
Blair. The executor claimed that in
view of this the legatees should re-
ceive only such bonds aud stocks as
remained of the particular ones named
in the will. They maintained that
the deficiency should be made up from
other stocks and bonds of the estate.
Hence the suit for the construction
of the will.

Foot ball is now a thing of the past
and despite the fact that deaths aud
broken bones are reported all over
the country, the players of the Nor
ristown a. A. have braved the season s
schedule with no serious injuries.
The games played have been thor
onghly appreciated by many of our
town people as an attendance of near
ly six hundred on Thanksgiving Day
testifies. The expenses of the club.
amounting to several hundred dollars,
including lighting the field for even
ing practice, cost of visiting teams,
uniforms. etc.. have all been paid.
Considering that the association was
formed late in the fall, aud many OF
the players green as to the ms and
outs of the game, the season has been
a remarkably successful one.

Gran Quivira over from Spain to the
Unitea States
The site of Gran Qnivira was gov
ernment land taken up as soldier
homestead claimed by man who
died few months later. As soon as
it was found that it had become de-
>irable to preserve the site, claimants
sprang MP for it. In the suit Just
decided in Mrs McClurg's favor, the
following indictments were brought
against the rival claimant and sue
cessfully proven.
I. That the deceased soldier had
not put on the land the Improvement
demanded by homestead law and his
claim had therefore lapsed
III. That he never lived on the land
as required by homestead law
III. That the person who claimed
the land on widows right was NOT
the soldiers widow, as another
won an was recognized at Washing
ton as his legal widow and was draw
ing his pension.
The Chronicle reporter called upon
Mrs. McClurg, who is visiting her
mother, Mrs. Dopaghe in Morristown
and was accorded the opportunity of
cleaning these incidents aud facts
from the reports Mrs. McClurg had
for the institution interested
in the ruins of Gran Quivira.

McAlpln Hall was very pretty
sight yesterday when the sale FOL
the benefit of the Free kindergarten
took place. No attempt to decorate
the wall was made, as the tables witt
their bright colors were sufficiently
decorative.
The first object one saw in going II
the door was Christmas tree under
the care of Mrs. Grinne]l Willis,
while Mr.. Romaine as Santa Claus
distributed the articles. The tree
took the place of the grab bag of pre-.
historic times.
Mrs. Cutler, Mrs. Vernon ami Miss
W h1te had utility table and showed
how very attractive useful articles
can be made.
Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Chisholm, Mrs.
Ames and Mrs. Low had a table filled
to overf1owing with pretty things.
some Russian brasses being unusual
and very attractive.
Miss Hopkins, Miss Kip, Miss
Marsh and several others had candy
table. which was full of candies i'll
boxes aud a large quantity of the
homemade kind for which Morristown
is noted. It was all sold before the
fair closed.
The Misses Bryce. with some other
young ladies, had a fancy table with
very pretty walking dolls and num-
ber of pillows and cushions.
Mrs. Robert H. McCurdy had a
unique table, nothing but perfumes
and toilet articles which she had
bought in Paris last summer. A num-
ber of new ideas were on this table
and it was very popular place. The
Misses Evans and Miss Gertrude Yer
nam assisted Mrs MoCurdy.
Mrs. Vanderpool's table could
scarcely hold all the beautiful things
put on it. The blotters in brocade
and satin were special feature.
There were centre pieces, pillows,
cushions and everything was so
dainty and so beautiful that no one
ever passed it.
Miss Tunis and several assistants
had pretty collection of things and
a good collection of money at the end
of the sale.
Mrs Emery, Mrs. Cauldwell and
Mrs. Franklin had table where the
most artistic burnt wood articles pre-
dominated. although there was a
number of other things.
Mrs. Wheelock and Miss Mills had
table with frames, boxes and baskets
on it. This was one of the prettiest
pieces of color and all of the things
were unusually pretty. Mrs. Edward
J. Hall and Mrs. william s, Letch-
ford had charge Of the ice cream and
tea tables, which were bright with
red candle shades and red flowers.
The Misses Behr, Liela Whitney and
Letchford, were among the assistants.
The ouly side show was some NOV
ing pictures by Brooks and Denton.
which were greatly appreciated by
the young people,
AS we'll as it is to comment on the
artistic success of the sale, the prime
feature after all is the financial one.
So the fact that over $1,000 was made,
must have been a source of great
qualification to the ladies' interested
IN this great work.
