Lake, Il viii do what may for to aid

Upon this she lifted a single emerald
that hung by Il small chain Of gold at
her girdle, and, 10! the emerald was
cunningly carved into a whistle. And
she set the whistle to her lips and blew
upon 1t passing shrilly. Then straight
way there appeared upon the water, a
great way off, q certain thing that
shone very brightly. And this drew
near with great speed. and, as it came
nigh, behold! 1t was a boat all OF
caryen brass And the boat moved
upon the water like a swan, very
swiftly, so that long lines like to silver
threads stretched far away behind
across the face of the water, which
otherwise was like unto glass for
smoothness. And when the brazen
boat had reached the bank it rested
there and moved no more.
Then the Lady of the Lake babe

he entered it. And Immediately he had
done so the boat moved away from
the bank as swiftly as 1t had come
thither. And Merlin and the Lady Of
the Lake stood upon the margin Of the
water and gazed after King Arthur
and the braZen boat
And King Arthur beheld that the
boat 1oated swiftly across the lake
to where was the arm uplifting the
sword, and that the arm and tho sword
moved not, but remained where they
were.
Then King Arthur reached forth and
took the sword in his hand, and imme-
diately the arm disappeared beneath
the water, and King Arthur held the
sword and the scabbard thereof, and
the belt thereof in his hand, and, 10!

1t seems a pity that the Aims
House committee has been COM
PEELED to cut off the outside
support to the poor of the county.
1t has been the custom for many
years to allow those who have a
home a small sum weekly or
monthly for their support In one
instance a man and his wife, aged
81 and SO years respectively, have
been receiving seventy-hve cents
each per week for their main
tenance, They have house and
sufficient furniture for themselves.
A short time ago all this " outside
support was cut off and they were
notified that they must go to the
Poor House. If sent there they
would be separated. After man
and wife had lived together from
fifty to sixty years it seems hard to
have them separated when they
have such little while longer on
this earth.

Morris county that they are being
dominated by ring rule and bossism
is amusing 1t fairly froths at the
mouth in its futile flow of words.

iterates its little cry and still the
public fails to be properly impressed,

sensical way and squirms and lashes
itself into inane fury, and still there
is no apparent effect Its imbecile

Morristown has been blessed for
years with good public schools.
The Board of Education has been
and is composed of some of Morris
towns best men and they have
been above criticism, Politics has
been as far removed from the school
board as is a Prohibitionist from a
drunkard. The children of Nor
ristown have been provided with
educational advantages such as the
children of few communities enjoy
and one of the greatest mistakes
ever made by any man or body of
men was to try to do away with
the school system that we have en-
joyed here for over thirty years.

up because Of fluctuation in the
amounts, and a motion was carried
that counsel send notices to the town
ship clerks with regard to the matter.
The bridge committee reported that
the recent storms had done about S42,
600 damage to the bridges in the
county, and Mr. Cook stated that he
didn't know how much he needed for
| bridges under water in his township
1t was moved and carried that the
several bridge committees meet inn
mediately to make the necessary re-
pairs to the bridges. Mr. Cook was
i added to the Pequannoc bridge COM
mittee, and that committee was au-
/ thorized to award contract to build
a bridge not to exceed 5000 in cost.
1t was stated that the county poor
who are not confined in the almshouse
are being sighted, and " Jack Smith
moved that they be allowed as much
as it would cost to keep them at the
almshouse, but the motion was lost.
The communications from German
Valley complaining of guard rails on
bridges on county roads, from Rock
away township complaining of bridge
at Operrocki Lake, and from Butler
claiming that the people there were
isolated by the floods, were all re-
ferred to the bridge committee.
The director asked counsel if the
county could collect the extra 10 cents
on the tax bills, and Mr.. Runyon
answered, mo; the county gets
only .9107. The tax bills are mislead-
ing. The towns have right to add
10 per cent, but the county does not
get it, it goes to the towns. The di-
rector said it made the city tax low
and the county tax high, and puts the
amounts of the 10 per cent. on the
county when the city gets the benefit
of it.

OBITUARY..

Another beautiful and useful life
has passed from us-in the death Of
Mrs. Charles Goliath, which occurred
on Saturday, October 10th, 1908.
Mrs. Goliath came to Morristown
over sixty years ago, and her noble,
loving character indeared her to every
one.
She was always ready to help others
and no one was ever turned from her
door without helping hand and some
comforting words.
AS a token of respect, and by re-
quest, six of her faithful colored friends
and servants served as pallbearers.
She was laid to rest in the family plot
in Evergreen Cemetery. She is sur
vived by two daughters, Mrs. Kins-
low, of New York, and Miss Goliath,
who have had expressions of sympathy
from their many friends.

Very few responses have been
made to the circular letter sent out
by the special committee of the
Friday Evening Club asking for
funds to remodel and build ad-
ditional exits to the Lyceum. If
the subscriptions do not amount to
sufficient to make the alterations
and additions possible it will be a
great misfortune and the public gen.
orally may take the blame to itself.
1t is true the Lyceum gets the
advantage of it, but it is also true
that every one in the town also
shares in it, and as the building
was built by subscriptions fir om the
people, SO this addition and altera-
ton should be done by the people.
1t would be pity if all the work
done by the Friday Evening Clut
and its committee should come tc
naught. Let the subscriptions,
even for small amounts continue.
If the stockholders were getting
cash dividends and would not spend
the money to improve or make
necessary alterations, the case
would be different, but as it is, the
trustees of the Lyceum are really
without the money and the altera-
tions, if made at all, must be made
by the public.
