over continued illness in his family,
several of his children having suffered
from scarlet fever recently, caused
Nicholas Denzer, of Summit, to kill
himself last Saturday night by swal-

He was discovered in his death agony
by his wife, who summoned physi-
clan too late to help him.

At George II. Blanchard's home in
New Vernon, very happy company
gathered to spend the Fourth of July.

friends, including guests from Irving
ton, New York, Jersey City, Newark,
Morristown and Mt. Freedom. In
the evening a fine display of fireworks
was enjoyed. These home gatherings
are thoroughly enjoyable, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Blanchard hope to be able to
see their friends together in this way
many more Fourths of July.

tuition relative to the reorganization
of the State courts should be passed at
the special election to be held in Sep
