PROPERTY RIGHTS IN DANGERS

A Number of Persons Interested
Held Meeting to Protect Them.
Preliminary plans for a campaign in
defense of the rights OF the property
owners at Lake Hopatcong we're adopt
ed at meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Lake Hopatcong Protec-
tive Association, In Kolb's restaurant,
in New York. when q number of men
prominent in the legal profession and
business life of Newark, New York
and Brooklyn, resolved to fight to the
bitter end any attempt to interfere with
lheir interests in the ownership of the
waters of the lake such as might follow
the abandonment of the Morris Canal
The committee represents the associa
ton of property owners at Lake Hopat-
cong, and is empowered to take such
action as, in its opinion, is necessary.
The constantly recurring talk of a
proposed bill for the abandonment of
the Morris Canal has aroused fears
among the members of the association
tn 1t the expected measure may carry
with it an attempt to divert the waters
of Lake Hopatcong to other uses, such
as the establishment of pipe line for
a water supply for New York or some
other city This is the particular in
terest of the Hopatcong property own
ers' and they stand ready to fight snch
bill. as one member put it, until the
sun goes down"
Several residents of Morristown have
property interests at the lake and they
will look into the matter of their rights
in the premises.

The annual banquet of the Til
den Club in New York Monday
evening brought together num-
Der Of Democratic leaders from all
parts of the country. The affair
was in the nature of harmony
conference =" On this occasion the
boom of Judge Alton B. Parker, Of
Kingston, N Y for the Democra-
tic nomination for the Presidency
was formally launched. The prin-
cipal address was made by Senator
Carnack, who was the first demo-
crat of prominence in the south to
declare for Parker.
Judge Parker S supporters are labor
ing to unite the factions of Dem
ocracy upon the man rather than
upon the issue. From experience
they have learned the futility of at
tempting TO get the rank and file
together SO long as the latter pay
alliegence to a score or more of
national leaders, each of whom holds
views distinctively his own as what
the policy of the party should be
in the next presidential campaign.
The speakers, therefore, were guard
ed i'll their efforts as to the present
and future stand of the Democratic
party upon national questions. But
they emphasized the fact that the
Kingston jurist is a Democrat of
the old school and that he has never
been involved in factional quarrels.
They gave out the impression that
with such a man as standard
bearer the right kind of issues-is-
sues fairly satisfactorily to all-will
be adopted as matter of course.
This move may give the Parker
boom such an impetus as will all
but put out of the race such pos
sibilities as Olney, German and
Johnson. Of the several men men
toned for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency Judge Parker
is the only one whose political rec
ord is such as not to be objection
able to any faction. 1t is this fact
more than any other that accounts
for the strong sentiment now spring
ing up in his favor all over the
country.
1t begins to look very much as if
the presidential candidates of both
parties for 1904 will be New York
ers. Nothing is more probable than
that Mr.. Roosevelt will be the can
didate of the Republican party and
if there are no unexpected devel-
opements i'll Democratic circles dur
ing the next few months Judge
Parker is pretty sure to head the
Democratic ticket.

Mr.. Oscar Coles Ferris Succumbed on

After an illness lasting over three

Among the Erie Company's proposed
extensive improvements at and near its

be laid, the approach from the low level
on either side of the hill to be made by
steel viaducts.

That the need exists for another
Normal school in the state does
not seem to strike certain political
minds with any force. The fact is
that every proposition which in
wolves the expenditure of any con-
siderable amount of money must
provide for its distribution in and
about Trenton else opposition
springs up in that city and must be
reckoned with. Trenton seems to
have an idea that the two institu-
tions would be rivals and that be-
cause Of this both would be weak.
The argument is petty. Rather
would the rivalry, did it exist, have
tendency to strengthen both.
There are few people who will not
admit the desirability of additional
facilities of this kind. Every
where in this state except in the
neighborhood of Trenton this need
has manifested itself. Why are
not Sussex or Warren Counties for
instance, entitled to the advantages
of proximity to a Normal School !?
Why Trenton should arise in its
selfshness and say eve own the
Normal School business of this
State and no one else must ask for
it " does not appear, unless its
reasons are based on selfshness and
narrowness. AS a matter of fact
the experience of other states
demonstrates that more than one
school is a benefit to all and not a
detriment to either Some of the
arguments advanced against an
additional school sound suspiciously
like boarding house talk.

According to the third annua

According to the third annual
report of the commissioners of the
Palisades Interstate Park, substan-
tial progress is being made in the
work of preserving the palisades OF
the lower Hudson, A large acre
age fronting the river in New Jer-
sey has been purchased and the
commission is about to enter into
negotiations for acquiring title to
the frontage in New York State ex-
tending from the Jersey line well
up into Rockland county. Prob
ably the most CRAFTY ing statement
in the report just at hand is the
assurance that the commission has
been successful in practically stop
ping the dissertation of the palisades
at the hands of the quarrymen.
While the work Of securing the
land tor this great interstate park
will necessarily take considerable
time it is pleasing to know that
henceforth sordid interests will not
despoil the scenery of the region
and thus defeat even in small
measure the objects which the
commission is laboring so diligently
to attain.
The report states that it has been
found entirely practicable to lay

Abraham Lincoln a little more
than generation ago was hated
worse than Benedict Arnold or
Judas Iscariot, not only in the
South but by those who sympathized
with that section in all parts of the
country. Yesterday all over the
world his name was revered and
this great nation suspended its busy
work for day to do honor to his
memory. He was one of the mob
lest, best and most patriotic men
the world has ever known and his
life is an inspiration to all living
Americans. The nation does well
to honor the memory of such man.

country is wool growing and that, in

tensiyely. It has never been supposed
that Patagonia would ever be turned
into a garden, but it would seem,
from MI. Hatcher's account. that in
some of the riVer valleys at least, the
chief bar to agricultural success is
the lack of iliers of the soil. Con,
cerning the Bio Chico, an alluvial
valley two hundred miles long, with
an average breadth of five miles, Mr..
Hatcher does not hesitate to say that
if such valley existed anywhere
within the United States, displaying
the same or similar conditions, every
acre Of il would within five years, be
occupied by prosperous farmers, and
that it would within period OF ten
years, support population of not less
than Fifty thousand persons, with

graph service. Some day the over
crowded countries of the Eastern
Hemisphere may here find an outlet

Texas Cattle to Africa.

A Fort WORTH, Texas, dispatch says :
Richard Carrow, associated with Ma
jor Walter de Maud of the English
army, who has contract to furnish
the government with Texas breeding
cattle, to be used in replenishing the
war-devastated veldts of South Africa,
has left here with nine car loads of
young bulls and heifers for Pensacola,
Fla, where ship load is now being
made mp for she voyage to Durham.
The English government found that
shinments made to South Africa from
Argentine were not profitable, as COM
pared with those made fom Texas.
The last Argentine shipments were
affected with mouth and foot disease.
and the authorities would not permit
the cattle to land, and the entire ship
load was drowned in the sea. The
previous shipments from Texas have
demonstrated the loss in transit does
not exceed ~ per cent.

The correspondent of The New York
Sun, who is with the Presidents
party on the Western jnnket, de-
scribes an incident of the trip as fol-
lows: .EThe dispatches have told of the
feeling of Senator Simon of Oregon
that Mr.. Roosevelt was discriminating
against Hebrews. One of the first
things that the President did after be-
ing seated at last nights banquet in
Portland was to send for Rabbi Wise,
well known in New York, and he kept
him by his side for more than half the
evening. Senator Mitchell had to sur
render his seat in order that the Presi-
dent might have Dr.. Wise with him.
Then when the populace outside the
hotel granted the request he summon
ed Archbishop Christie to accompany
him to the platform without any other
escort, and the freedom of the nation
al administration from religious pre-
JUDGES was amply and decisively de-
monstrated.

BURYING VICTIMS OF TORNADO.
But GainesviIle's Business Pro-
3. ceeds as Uusual.
The Dead Have Been Put Out of the
Way as Rapidly as Possible.

Gainesville, Ga, June 1.-This city
has tonight practically recovered from
the Supplying effect Of Mondays ter
rible wind storm. With large num-
Der of the dead already buried and with
the work of relief proceeding rapidly
and methodically, the streets are again
assuming their normal appearance
and the business Of the community is
going on as usual. The work Of the
citizens of Gainesville, both men and
women, has been heroic in aiding
suffering, and the response from At
lanta and other cities. in the shape Of
supplies and financial assistance, has
been no less marked. Physicians are
now here in sufficient numbers to at
tend all the needs of the injured, but
there is yet great need for antiseptics
and other medical supplies. There
is urgent necessity for more nurses.
Physicians who have visited Gaines
vile urge that all who are in posi-
tion to do so volunteer their service
at once. Transportation and board
are being furnished all volunteers, SO
that while there will be no compensa-
tion, except the satisfaction Of doing
a noble work for suffering humanity,
there will be no expense.
Secretary of War Root has telegraph
ed Senator Clay and Congressman Tate
that the Governor will send tents and
such other temporary assistance as
may seem necessary.
About sixty funerals of victims were
held last night and today. There was
no attempt at any sort Of ceremonial !;
in many cases not even clergyman
was present. The bodies were rapidly
consigned to the earth, with hastily
uttered prayer or the singing Of a
hymn. For half an hour almost one
funeral minute was conducted in the
desolate village of mill cottages,
where the tornado wrought it's greatest
havoc.
The latest tabulation indicates that
the death total will be between S5 and
80, the estimate of 100 given last night
having been somewhat excessive. Six
more dead bodies we're identified today
Ora English, Odom Skinner, Paul
Waddell, S. D. Lovern, Lula jackson
and boy named Adams. Eight dead
bodies are still unidentified.
Victor Montgomery, of Spartanburg,
S. c., president of both the Pacolet
and the Gainesville Cotton mills, said
that the Pacolet Mills would be put in
running order again at once. Con-
siderable time must, of course, elapse
before the Gainesville Mills, whose
plant was almost demolished, can be
again in operation.
