MORRIS-UNION
BOWLING CLUBS
Organized and Game Started
for Season Of 19O3-4.
Some Fine Bowling.
NEW TEAM in THE FIELD

The bowling season of the Morris
and Union League for 10000 was
opened Thursday evening, November
5. The teams composing this league
are from Morristown, Madison, Chat
ham and Orange Valley, and are repre-
sented by the following teams: Tap
kaow No. l, Tapkaow No. 2, and Young
Mems Catholic Association from Nor
ristown: Waverly, of Madison; Chat
ham, of Chatham, and Orange Valley,
of Orange Valley.
The schedule that has been arranged
provides for games to be rolled every
Thursday evening from November to
March II, and the season promises to
be very interesting one. The several
teams in the league have been strength
ened during the year and some excel
lent games may be expected during the
winter. Orange Valley team is new
one in the league and they will make
the contest an interesting one for their
opponents, as they are in the habit of
putting up some very good games. Tap
kaow No. is also a new team, and is
expecting to do great things to the
rest of the teams in the league, and to
Tapkaow No. l in particular. The
scores made at the first meeting were,
some of them, very good, as will be
seen from the following scores:
AS the teams stand now Waverly
is in the lead, and if they keep
up the pace they have started with,
there. is every prospect of taking all
the prizes to Madison. Waverly is
doing some very good bowling, and
from the outlook will keep every other
team in the league hustling to be in it
at the finish.
Tapkaow No. kept up its reputa-
tion last evening in the bowling, but
had to do some pretty good work to do
it. Tapkaow No. and No. 2 met on
their own alleys and the result was
three pretty games, No, l taking two
of them. Y. M. G. A. team was sched-
uled for three games on the alleys of
the Orange Valley team, but the
games were postponed until tonight
on account of benefit that was given
in Orange last evening.
November 12-Tapkaow No. l VS..
Tapkaow No. 2, at Tapkaow.

Fire totally destroyed the Morris
County Golf Club House at noon last
Sunday. 1t is believed defective fiue
was the cause, as the flames were dis
covered coming from the roof near the
chimney over the kitchen. The cook
was first to give the alarm. Steward
Barber, who lives near the Golf Club
grounds, was notified and he at once
asked for aid from the Morristown Fire
Department. AS the club grounds are
situated some distance outside the city
limits, permission had to be obtained
from the Chief Engineer. This was
promptly given, and Chief Fox ordered
the Chemical engine and a hose cart
from Washington engine to the fire.
When the firemen arrived they could
give but little help as the club house
was then nearly consumed. Work at
saving the furnishings of the house had
been commenced and much of the par
aphernalia taken out. Hundreds of
dollars worth of golf sticks and balls
were burned, as it was impossible to
get at them in the lockers, owing to
the radidity with which the flames
spread. Willie" Weir, the clubs
professional player, claims to have lost
5000 in golf sticks.
President Frelinghuysen was among
the first arrivals at the fire, and he di-
rected the saving of the furniture,
which was taken down into the ''punch
bowl" and afterward to the "caddy
house." He estimated the loss at ST.
600.
The Morris County Golf Club is one
of the best-known clubs in the United
States. Its house has been the scene
of many large and fashionable social
gatherings and some of the largest golf
games played in this country have
taken place on it's grounds. A dinner
was to have been given on Monday
night by Mrs. Charles w. McAlpin, for
which thirty invitations had been is
sued, and other events had been sched-
uled for this week. 1t was intended,
however, to close the club house for
the winter tomorrow.

EXEMPTION UNCONSTITUTIONAL
So Said Justice Garrison. This Affects
Volunteer Firemen and all War
Veterans. May be Appealed.

One of the most important opinions
filed in the Supreme Court Monday
was that in the case of Edward Tip
petit against the borough of Rock
away, prepared by Justice Garrison, in
which the tax exemption of $500 that
has been allowed to soldiers and sail
ors of the civil war, their widows,
veterans of the Spanish-American war,
exempt firemen and members of the
State militia is declared unconstitu-
tional.
The case was brought before the
court by the refusal of Tippett to pay
to John G. McGrath, the collector of
the borough of Rockaway, in Morris
county, the taxes assessed against him,
claiming that under the law of 1916 he
was exempt to the amount of $500.
This law provides that "the real and
personal property of all persons en-
rolled as active members of any fire
company, ETC., shall be exempt from
taxation to the amount of $780," Tip
petit is member of fire company in
Rockaway.
Justice Garrison, in his opinion,
says: ITO substitute for property in
the classification provided by the gen.
eral acts of the Legislature the person
who owns property and then to base
the proposed exemption upon the
status or vocation of such persons is
without any constitutional warrant.
Exemptions from taxation, therefore,
of property, real or personal, are based
upon the uses to which it is put, not
upon any characteristic possessed by
such property, but upon the personal
status of the owners of such property,
are void
If this decision is allowed to stand,
it means that members of fire COM
panies, members of the national guard,
veterans Of the Civil and Spanish wars
must hereafter pay taxes the same as
other citizens.
1t is a question whether these per-
sons would not be liable to the muni-
cipalities in which they are taxable
for the payment of taxes for the time
during which, under the law Monday
declared unconstitutional, they have
been exempt.

Trading stamps have got to go !
That much was settled at an enthusi-
astic meeting of the principal business
men in this city last Monday afternoon
in the Parker building. December
is the clearing-out day, and then the
red and green stamps will be cast out
and business done on a business basis
and legitimately.
Many men and women do not realize
that when they buy goods for the sake
of getting stamps they are paying more
for the merchandise than they other
wise would. The merchants do not
deny this. They say they are obliged
to put up the prices of goods in order
to buy the stamp book. For the in
formation of the public, the Chronicle
can say upon the testimony of promin-
ent business men, that goods can be
bought cheaper at stores which do not
give stamps.
Several stories were told by the mer-
chants of women paying fabulous
prices for articles just to get a few
stamps.
1t is not the intention of the mer-
chants to have their customers lose
anything on their books from the dis
continuance of stamps. They propose
very fair measure by agreeing to fill
the books of customers who Rave at
least half book filed.
1t was brought out forcibly during
the discussion which took place at the
meeting that harm came from the use
of stamps. 1t was estimated that if
they were used during the holidays it
would cost each merchant at least
1925 for books, and that in order to
make up this loss the prices on holiday
goods would have to be raised. "The
public have to pay for the stamps, .
said one merchant. "Some people do
not seem to realize this, but it is a fact
nevertheless. 1t is for their good and
our own protection that we want to
get rid them"
There was no opposition to the
movement; but few grocerymen felt
inasmuch as it was understood that
Mr. Scheuer, of the firm of Stiner &
Scheuer, had an interest in the stamp
concern, that firm would not discon-
tinue the use Of them.
A resolution was finally offered
which will be signed by merchants:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the system of doing
business with trading stamps is wrong
and working to the disadvantage both
of merchants and consumers that the
giving of these stamps will be discon-
tinued December l, thus giving col
lectors of stamps three weeks in which
to fill their books"
A question was asked by a merchant
as to why some firms would give away
three or four dollars worth of stamps
with one dollars worth of goods
This was answered that it was a con.
fession on the part of the merchant
that his business was dull.
A committee was appointed by H.
G. Reynolds, who was elected chairman
of the meeting, to see business men
who were not present and get them to
acquiesce in the resolutions. The fol.
lowing were selected: p J. Howard
for the shoemen; A. P. Turner, dry.
goods; f. L. RICHTER, grocers; Eugene
Carrell, gentlemen's furnishing goods
Isaac Katz, clothing.
1t was the opinion of all present
that the people were ready to have the
stamps go, and it was for the mer
chants to muster sufficient courage tC
stamp them out.

The Hunting Season Open.

Tuesday marked the opening of the
hunting season in New Jersey. Be
fore daybreak armies of hunters
went to the woods, and all day there
was continuous banging in every
known forest. 1t is said, the rabbits
in and about the woods of Morris
county held meeting Monday night,
and decided to leave the State; also
the quail and partridge. However
this may be, many were killed.

SAINT ELIZABETH ALUMNAE
Eighth Annual Reunion held at the
Convent on Saturday. A
Large Attendance.

The eighth annual reunion of the
st. Elizabeth Alumnae Association
was held at the college, at Convent,
on Saturday and was largely attended
by the members of the association.
The alumna colors, blue and yellow,
were everywhere to be seen, and the
ladies wore large punches of the
ribbons on the left shoulder. The
venerable Mother Xavier and her
assistant, Sister NJ. Pauline, who is
also the president ex-officio of the
Alumn9 Association, met the visitors
at the convent door and welcomed
them to alma mater.
The business meeting, conducted by
Sister Pauline, was held in the alumna
hall. A special address of greeting
and congratulation to Sister Pauline
was read by Mrs. Teresa Shannon
Sheridan, the president of the associa-
tion. From the business meeting,
the members repaired to the large
dining hall for luncheon. Toasts
were responded to by Mrs. Sheridan
and Miss Dorothy Mueller.
The alumn4 roamed about the
convent, meeting old teachers and
classmates, and at O'Clock all repaired
ed to the chapel for benediction of the
blessed sacrament. The college
graduates attended the meeting
wearing their caps and gowns. The
souvenirs of the meeting were beauti-
fully embossed copies of the address
to the college graduates in June last,
delivered by Bishop O'Connor.

EXTENSION OF
SALOON LIMITS

Extension of the ordinary liquor sa-
loon limits is again presented as a
question for the Governor and his coun-
ell to settle. This time it is not raised
by the liquor guild nor by any section
of residents, but by one person who
desires to start saloon outside of the
present limits.
J. M. Camara is the petitioner and
the proposed site of his saloon is at
Queen and Alakea streets, just one
block away from the Public Market.
The Legislature established limits for
beer shops but not for general liquor
saloons, these being left in the hands
of the Executive.
Governor Dole will submit Camara's
application to the executive council on
Monday next. In the meantime public
opinion has opportunity of expression.

If you are sick and out-of-sorts, it is IN your

ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. lhous-
