ANDREW JACKSON.
Tennesseeans Resent His Being
 Omitted from the Hall of Fame.

Tennesseeans Resent His Being
 Omitted from the Hall of Fame.
 Nashville (Tenn.) News.
 A great sin of omission, one that is an affront to the South, and does violence to the truth of history and the honor of a noble name. Is the failure to place An- I drew Jackson's name in 'The Hall of Fame of Great Americans" Tn 1900 the list of great men was made up. and, when published. caused much adverse criticism the unbiased critics of America contend- ing that one of the our greatest statesmen and soldiers had been sighted.
 A donation of $10o.Ooo by an unknown person was made to build The Hall of Fame for Great Americans" on univer- sity Heights. New York City. There are to be provided 150 panels to bear the names of Americans deemed the greatest in their respective fields. Those to be chosen must have been dead ten years or more and selected from classes as fol- lowss Authors and editors, business men, educators. inventors, missionaries and explorers. philanthropists and reformers. preachers and theoiogians, scientists. en- gineers and architects. lawyers and judges. musicians, painters and Aculptors. physicians and surgeons, rulers and statesmen. soldiers and sailors. and dis tinguished men and women outside of these classes.
 It was provided that fifty names should be inscribed on the tablets at the begin ming, and i've names each succeeding fifth year until the year 2,000 when the list of 150 will have been completed.
 The Council of the New York Univer- sity selected an electorate of 100 emil nent citizens. each of whom was to vote for fifty candidates. Of the 100 judges T voted. The number of names that had been submitted as candidates by popu- lar nomination was 252. No candidate receiving less than 61 votes could be ac- cepted. and but 9 received the required number. These were as follows: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Benjamin Franklin. Ulysses 8. Grant, John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson. Ralph Waldo Emerson. Henry w. Longfellow, Robert Fulton. Washington Irving. Jonathan Edwards. Samuel F. B. Morse. David G. Farragut. Henry Clay. Nathaniel Hawthorne. George Peabody. Robert E. Lee, Peter Cooper. Eli Whit ney, John J. Audubon, Horace Mann. Henry Ward Beecher, James Kent Joseph Story, John Adams. William E Charming. Gilbert Stuart, and Asa Gray Is 1t not singular that so great a man as Andrew Jackson should be left out oi
 this list, especially when 1t was elected by hundred eminent Americans? Ob.
 viousiy they went out of their way when they selected a number of those names ahead of General Jackson. and the offenss will be resented so long as the people oi the United States are patriotic and revere l the memory of their great men.

a very ancient and interesting mosaic of prose and poetry; incident, biography. history, ode. The composite authorship is evident, from the several instances in which two accounts of the same event is given, as we'll as from other signs which one does not need to be a literary critic to discern. This generally ad- mitted fact, does not at all affect the genuine worth of the writing, which Is one of the most ancient, natural, and beautiful contributions to literature.
 On the background of the narrative. three great characters stand in high reief, Samuel, Saul. and David. Aside from personal qualities of the highest character. Samuel has the incidental attractiveness of one in whose person one line closes and another begings He Is last of judges. first of prophets.

MAY LOSE USE OF HAND
Carelessly Threw Cartridge into "A
Wheelbarrow. Explosion Followed.

Carelessly Threw a Cartridge into a
Wheelbarrow. Explosion Followed.
While cleaning out in the green
houses of John Green on Mt. Kemble
avenue last Saturday morning,
Barkalow Baird, an employee, had the
thumb, index finger and middle
finger of his right hand blown off
at the second joint, and the palm
of the hand lacerated, and the nails
from two fingers on his left hand torn
off by dynamite cartridge. Baird was
carting rubbish in wheelbarrow,
and seeing the dynamite cartridge
lying on working bench picked it
up and threw it in his barrow, ex-
claiming that it was dangerous
thing to have around. The explosion
followed. His cries for help brought
men about the place to his assistance,
who, after bandaging his wounds as
best they could, sent him to Memorial
Hospital. 1t is said, he may lose the
use of his right hand. The cartridge
had hung in the green house since
the time the road was macadamized
in that section. In some way it had
been overlooked and had secured a
resting place on the work bench.

EXCISE COMMISSIONER NAMED.
Judge Mills Reappoints Mr.. McCoIlum.
Law is Conflicting on this
Question

County Law Judge Alfred Elmer
Mills this morning appointed Charles
McCollum Excise Commissioner of the
town Of Morristown to succeed him
self. The appointment was made in
court chambers at the opening of
court. In making the appointment
Judge Mills said:
'The court announces that, as the
term of Charles McCOllum. as one of
the Board of Excise Commissioners of
Morristown expires to-day, it now ap-
points said Charles McCollum to sue
ceed himself as one of such Commits
sionerS for another term of three years.
The court makes this appointment
because it dissatisfied that the decision
made by the Supreme Court of this
State on the tenth Of November 1902,
in the case of Schwarz VS.. the mayor
&c, of Dover, holding that an appoint
ment of this character cannot law
fully be made by a Court of Common
Pleas, has been in effect oyerruled by
the decision announced by the Court
OF Errors and Appeals of this State on
the first day of May instant, in the
case Of Ross against the Board of
Chosen Freeholders of the County of
Essex and the Essex County Park Com
mission.
This action will be a great relief to
number OF men engaged in the liquor
business whose licenses expire this
month and who have already made ap-
plication for renewal. Under the de-
cision in the Dover case it was rumored
that Judge Mills would not appoint a
successor to Mr.. McCollum. If that
decision was good law, excise boards
appointed by the court were illegal in
stitutions. Hence their acts were IL
legal. Last Friday, however, deci-
sion was made in the Supreme Court,
in the case quoted by Judge Mills,
which sustains the action of the court
in making such appointment. This
cleared the atmosphere and Mr.. Nc
Collum was appointed to succeed him.
SELF
The question now arises, what con
dition is Dover in? That town acted
under the decision which declares that
the court has no right to appoint a
Board of Excise, and the licenses have
since been issued by it's Common
Council. There seems to be grave
question here which only the Court Of
Errors and Appeals can settle.

WAS WELL KNOWN HERE.
Several of His Flights Into
Finacial Fields.

Sherman Broadwell, who died at his
residence at White Plains, N, Y, on
Thursday, April SO, at the advanced
age of SO, was a former well-known
resident of Morristown. He came
here from Middletown, N. Y, many
years ago, and in partnership with
his son-in-law Samuel w. Corwin,
opened grocery store on Washing
ton street, a short distance above the
park. After conducting the business
for some years they sold out, and on
the removal of the Iron Bank from
Rockaway to Morristown, Broadwell
became its president. Some time
afterward he and Corwin, with some
Others, organized the Consumers
Coal Company" which professed to
have title to valuable coal lands in
Pennsylvania, and was to furnish coal
to those investing in it's stock at the
bare cost of mining and transporta-
tion. Corwin was it's manager, and a
considerable number of people were
induced to invest in it. When its
character became better known, Broad
well and Corwin removed from Norris
town to Hudson county, and the next
heard of Broadwell he was running a
Savings Bank in New York city. This
soon got into trouble, was wound up
by the public authorities, and it was
said Broadwell had to part with all
the fortune he had accumulated.
Since that time he has been almost
wholly lost sight of here, and the news
of his death will call to the mind Of
many of our older citizens man they
had almost forgotten.
