Superfluous Bows.

A British parliamentary paper
shows that. as usual nearly 10000
more boys than girls were born ir
the British isles last year. Whence,
then, the 'superfuous wolnan:" The
boys die, during the first weeks and
months of life, at far greater rate
than the supposed weaker vessels
In few months they have sunk to ar
equality and soon woman takes the
lead, numerically, and keeps it, nu-
merically. The reason is not uncor-
nected with the larger size of the
baby boys head, for which he either
pays the penalty very early or reaps
the reward--if woman will forgive
the hint-later.

Proved to be a Great Success and the
Treasury of Church was Benefited
The "Brick Social" given by the
Christian Endeavor Society in the
First Baptist Church last Tuesday
evening was well attended notwith-
standing the threatening weather
indications. The Sunday School
rooms were prettily decorated with
flags of all nations, and over the
sliding doors leading into the church
was banner with the word, "Wel-
come"
During the evening Miss Benson
rendered a very pleasing piano selec-
tion and was obliged to give an en-
core.
Mr.. John Berry gave two good re-
citations and Mr.. Carl Wrede sang a
solo. The Baptist quartet sang
several selections which were greatly
appreciated.
Several tables were arranged about
the rooms and after the entertain
ment, ice cream and cake were sold.
The society cleared goodly sum
which is for the Baptist Home at
ROSeVille.

"wAY DOWN EAST"
The PLAY Great Success and the EIks
Profit Therefrom.

Monday night the Lyceum was
filled to the doors with an audience
that was more than pleasantly enter
tained by Mr. William A. Brady's
special production of the beautiful
pastoral play, "Way Down East, "
under the auspices of the local lodge
of Elks.
This was the first public appear
ance of the Elks since their organi-
zation, and they furnished seven
hundred people with an evening of
enjoyment rare in this city, The
company producing "Way Down
East" was competent: so much so
that they made as much as possible
out of the limited stage room which
the Lyceum affords. Miss Bridges,
as "Anna Moore" unfolded the story
of the forsaken mother in an artistic
manner. Her support was good and
''The Best People On EARTH realized
some $500 from the performance, which
attracted only the most favorable
comment.

DELEGATES TO CONVENTIONS
Here is Table Showing the Number of

Entitled at County Conventions.

Here is a Table Showing the Number of
Delegates to which Each Party is
Entitled at County Conventions.
County Clerk Voorhees, has compiled
a table showing the number of dele
gates which each district in the county
is entitled to send to the county con-
vention to be held in September next.

visions of the new primary law. Each
party convention is entitled to repre-
sentation from each district of one del
egate for every one hundred votes cast
at the last gubernatorial election by
that party, and one additional delegate
for each fraction Of one hundred over
forty votes Thus, if a district casts
141 votes, it is entitled to one delegate
for the first hundred and one for the
II additional votes, which is fraction
of one hundred over forty.
1t is the duty of borough and muni-
cipal clerks to notify the several county
committee chairmen Of the quota to
which each district is entitled. The
list is made from the official vote as
filed with the Secretary of State.
This year the republican convention
for this county is entitled to 72 dele
gates; the democratic convention will
have 62 delegates The table compiled
by Mr.. Voorhees, is here given. 1t
gives the republican and democratic
votes for the year 1901 by districts and
list of the number of delegates to
which each each party is entitled in
each district.

WILL HAVE A CONFERENCE.
Lyceum and Friday Evening lub Com
mittees to Meet and Confer.

A meeting of the trustees of the
Morristown Library and Lyceum was
held Saturday evening, and the report
of the committee appointed by the
Friday Evening Club discussed. 1t is
not known just what the trustees in
tend doing, as they are reticent con-
ceming the details of the meeting, but
committee, consisting of Vice-Chan-
cellor Henry G. Pitney, former Mayor
Henry G. Taylor and Lawyer Alfred
Mills, was appointed to confer with
the Friday Evening Club committee.
Mr. Taylor, when seen by Chroni-
Gle reporter, said that the committee
and trustees were anxious to do every
thing that was just and right, and
were on all occasions looking to the
safety of gatherings in the hall during
performances. He said that tiremen
were always on duty when anything
was taking place in the hall and police
men in attendance to render aid. He
referred to a report which was made
by a committee in 1888 when New
York architects were engaged to ex-
anime the building and who reported
favorably upon its present condition.

YOUNG PRISONER ESCAPES.
BY Clever Work Alexander Archangelo
Succeeds in Gaining Freedom
From the County Jail.

There have been many escapes made
from the Morris county jail by prison
ers within the last two score of years
but the one effected by Alexander
Archangelo, an italian youth of tif-
teen years, some time after midnight
last Friday is said to be one
of the most clever known in the his
tory of that institution. The boy had
been arrested and sentenced to Jail by
Justice Cliff for stealing bicycle,
and had been in confinement nearly a
month. Sheriff Ryerson assigned him
to the room set apart for juvenile
prisoners and witnesses on the third
floor. 1t is side room, next to the
ladies' waiting room, and has two
windows, one facing the old Jail and
the other looking toward Western
avenue, and both are barred and
screened. The room is spacious, and
has two iron cots and electric lights.
Young Archangelo made his escape
through the window facing the street.
The iron bars were fastened in an iron
frame and secured to the windowsill
By means of tin spoons used by the
prisoners in eating their meals it is
supposed the boy made wrench and
unfastened this frame. He pulled the
bars back and then broke the wire
netting which covered the outside of
the window, making an opening large
enough to get out. Tying a bed sheet
fast to the window sill, the boy lower
ed himself. The window is right
under the roof, over Keeper Orr's
room. When he reached the roof, he
saw ladder that had been left stand
ing along the side of the roof by work
men who are engaged on the new jail
work and with it he reached the
ground safely.
The escape was not known of until
Saturday morning when Sheriff Ryer-
son saw bed sheet hanging out the
window. An investigation revealed
the fact that the italian had disap-
peared.
In the room with Archangelo was
Winfield Mcpherson, a young boy,
who had just been brought here from
the Reform School at Jamesburg, as a
witness to testify against George An
thony, colored, for horse stealing
Mcpherson denied aiding in the
escape, but the sheriff is of the opinion
that he assisted in some way, for he
says he does not believe the Italian
boy bright enough to concoct any
such scheme. Nothing is known as to
Archangelo's whereabouts, but Sheriff
Ryerson believes he will be captured
in a short time.
