THE BURT CASE
This unsavory Case rlay Have to be
Tried a Third Time

The new trial of Burt for incest
came UP on Monday and the case had
attracted so much attention and
comment on the part of the general
public by reason Of the revolving dis
closures on the former trial it was
difficult to secure a jury. Only two
of the regular panel passed the ordeal
and were accepted by both sides. 1t
vas not until Tuesday noon that a
full jury was secured. xThe following
arc the jurors:
Claude Morrison,
j. e. Fluke,
Ward Russell,
John Zimmerman,
Emil G. Anderson,
j. Il. Hickenbothom,
Chester Ncwkirk,
Art j. Clark,
Il. II. Strachan,
j.. A. Jones,
n. A. Brothers,
Frank Wertz.
Tie wife OF tlle accused was a wit
ness on the former trial against him
and the supreme court ordered a new
trial deciding the wife could not be a
witness. Ii he is convicted it must
l,be by the daughter Mable Burt. The
attorneys for the defense seek tt
weaken her testimony by showing
Contradictions between evidence Civ.
ell upon the case and on the former
trial.
The defense tried to show the baC
character Of the complaining witness
being compelled to rely mainly on thu
testimony of the accused for thi.
purpose. This was rebutted by testi

CLIPPED FROM EXCHANGES.

The latest elopement of Lancaster
Pa, was that of Conrad Sewers and
Miss Amanda Gusley. Both of them
are over 70and it is their first venture
in matrimony. They ran away to
York in order that their friends might
not make fun of them.

his fist.

MethodiSts hereabouts who know

while he was visiting at Fort Worth,
Texas. A New York paper wired him
thus: &c. G. McCabe, Fort Worth,
Tex. What is your opinion on the
Anglo american alliance? Please wire
us answer" Now, it happens that
there resides in Fort Worth well
known citizen of the name of G. c.,
McCabe. The telegraph company
knowing G. g. McCabe better than the
visiting bishop, delivered the message
at the formers house. The recipient
was considerably surprised, but he
promptly wired this reply: "It is a
id good thing" Just what the New
York editor thought on receiving the
return message is not matter of
record. neither can it be told what the
good Bishops feelings were did he
chance to see the remarkable dispatch.

at the age of sixteen. Prof. War
rem insisted, so a newspaper report
says, that the young minds are
strong enough to follow such
amended courses.
1t is badly necessary to state that
Mr.. Warren's views failed to elicit
applause from his listeners. His
fellow educators we're not at all i'm
pressed with either the advisable
ty or the practicability of the plan
and they said SO emphatically
Instructors like the Albany pro-
fessor appear to think that the sole
mission of the public school system
is to prepare young men and WON
Ell for entrance to college. Can
didates for college really number
10 per cent. of the total number of
school pupils in any city. If the
courses should be arranged express
" to help the 10 per cent. OF stu
dents in passing examinations for
admittance to higher institutions OF
learning, what sort of education
would be derived by the great ma
jority of the boys and girls the 90
per cent. of pupils who upon leav-
ing the public school room enter
the industrial and business world ?
1t is to be doubted whether Prof.
Warren's plan would prove bene-
fetal even to the pupils who con-
template taking a college course.
Sixteen is a pretty early age tor
any boy or girl to qualify for col
lege unless he or she is especially
bright and possessed of real genius.
University authorities have long
complained of the deficiency i'll
training i'll vario us elementary
branches of many of the candidates
for admission to their institutions.
To abridge to any extent the gram
mar school course would assuredly
make more palpable such deficiency,
which perhaps would be serious
drawback to the collegian in pur-
suing the advanced studies.

LIGHTS AND SHADES.

Since Mayor Reed issued his pro-
clamation that all dogs in Norris
town should wear a wire muzzle, Sc
curely fastened, or else be shot upon
the highway by officers Of the law, a
dog without a protection over his
nose and mouth is a scarce institu-
tion. Now and anon, a cur without
the requirements is shot by police
man, but the CANNES, especially if
they have any value, OF are consi-
dered members of the family" are
not allowed to run the streets, in
fear of immediate death. Several
days ago, however, a richly attired
lady, with several pounds of dog
chains, and watch chains, dangling
from her waist, and whose features
were decidedly pugnacious, ventured
out with her little black-and-tan for
exercise. She COZ sidered it torturous
and barbarous to put an ugly wire
screen over the head of her pet, there
fore she carried the muzzle in her
hands. Now one of the dog squad
policeman, whose scent fer unmuzzled
dogs has become as keen as a razor's
edge, spied the two walking up South
street. Stepping up to the lady, and
at the same time reaching for the
pistol in his hip pocket, the officer
said.
Madam, you must put that muzzle
on"
'sSir," she replied, do you mean to
insult me?'
mo madam" said the officer
sternly, 'but the Mayor says all
animals must be nuzzled."
81 will not put it on, and besides
IL am lady and you, as a policeman,
should be ashamed Of yourself by
casting such slur upon a lady"
The blue coat was ''taken back, " he
gasped for BREATH looked at the
woman, then at the dog, wondering if
he had made a mistake, and then
nervously released the tight grip
he had upon his revolver. The wo-
man gathered up her little poodle
into her arms, and walked detiantly
across the park. She still refuses to
wear muzzle.

On Wednesday the Morristown
School nine jOurneyed to Orange and
defeated the Newman School of that
place by a score of q to 6.
The ball team of the Morristown
School, went to Tarrytown Saturday
afternoon and defeated the Hackley
team of that city IA tO6.
The Pastime Base Ball Club went
to Hackettstown Wednesday and
played game with the Centenary
Collegiate Institute team. They
were defeated by a score of II to3.
The Pastime base ball nine went to
Dover on Saturday and played their
first game with the Meleo Field Club
of that city. The game was said to
be interesting, but full of errors,
which allowed the Meleos to score
five runs in the seventh inning, MAX
ing them the victors by a score of 10.
A practice game of base ball was
played on Randolph's field last Sat-
urday afternoon between the Morris
Academy nine and the Bank Clerks
The latter were victorious by a score
of Is to s. The wind blew a terrific
gale, and it was impossible to play
good ball, but the teams did the best
they could, and some star playing
was witnessed. The Academy boys
are all good players, and by constant
practice they should put up an ex-
cellent game. They have some heavy
hitters and all throw the ball well.
The Bank Clerks, while many Of
them are old players, do not support
each other as they should. The boys
are under good management and no
doubt will "get together" before
playing many more games, and their
equal will be hard to find, as an
amateur team in this locality.
At the close of the sixth inning the
game of base ball between the Bank
Clerks and the Morris Academy
Tuesday afternoon was stopped on
account of the late hour of starting.
The score was 5 to 3 in favor of the
Bankers The game was interesting
throughout and the ball playing was
exceptionally good. Several star
plays were made by Grove, Compton
and Abel of the Bankers, and Hinch-
man, Rabbit, Ropes and Dempsey
of the Academy. Hearney of the
Academy made several beautiful
hits between short and third base,
and also George Babbitt, but the
latter could not run the bases. The

In the appointment of David P.
Mcclellan, of Morristown, as State
Fish and Game Commissioner to
succeed Howard P. rockingham,
Governor Murphy has added an
other to the list of excelle MT
appointments made by him dur
ing his tenure of office. Mr.. Nc
Clellan is a gentleman who is a
high minded sportsman, fond of
fishing and hunting ; knows the
law and may be depended upon to
enforce it in a way that will not
make it obnoxious to the general
public. The duties of his Office will
not serve to popularize the commits
sioner with that class of the public
whose dealings with fish and game
may be classed as shady" but
that he will be popular with the
great law-abiding public goes with
out saying. He is success in
business and will be one in official
life.
