expressions and leaving strong inn
preston of wonderful appreciation

years.
The class prophecy was clever hit
which displayed much originality. 1t

AN IMPoLITE HIGHWAYMAN.
Tierney was Horsewhipped and Then
Arrested. He LanguiShes
Now in Jail.

A very much disappointed man is
John Tierney, a laborer, living on
Mccullough avenue. Out of the kind
ness of his heart he asked pretty Miss
McEntee, of Summit, to take a drive
with him last Tuesday afternoon, and
is now resting in jail-in one of those
spacious and comfortable new cells for
his seeming politeness. Poor John
He had been unusually prosperous dur
ing the last week and had accumulated
several dollars, but they burned in his
pocket, and he burned inwardly, so he
slit up" In his inebriated condition
he met Miss McEntee driving on Mac
cullough avenue and seeing she was
alone, and beginning to grow a little
weary of walking himself, he stopped
her and asked to be permitted to drive
her around.
"How dare you stop me- said Miss
McEntee rebukingly.
"Now don't you say that (hic),
youll scare the horse, said John.
Whether John thought the horse
would really scare and run away, or
whether he Thought MISS McEntee
was going to run away, he has not been
able to tell himself, but he rushed at
her and in his endeayor to gently lift
her from therunabout he tore a sleeve.
Without word, Miss McEntee took
the horsewhip in her hand and with
a blow knocked John into the gutter.
Then whipping up her horse she drove
rapidly to the Police Headquarters
and notified the officials Of her ex-
perience.
Policeman Brennan went quickly on
a bicycle to the place where the hold
up occurred and found John dancing a
jig. He danced him to two step to
Police Headquarters, and Justice Cliff
charged him s5, but he couldn't pay
it, so he was promenaded to the court
house.

The June meeting OF the Morris and
Orange PreSbytery was held last Tues
day in the chapel of the First Presby-
terian Church in this city. The SER
vices opened at 1870, and in the absence
of the moderator, Rev. ]. Macgregor,
the assistant moderator, Rev. George
L. Richmond, was called to preside.
Rev. G. Augustus Pierson was elected
temporary clerk. On motion the min
utes of the last regular meeting were
read and approved after inserting that
Rev. Theodore White, of Summit, had
been made pastor emeritus OF the Sum-
NIT Presbyterian Church at a specified
salary.
An application was read from Rev
D. L. Finks, asking. to be transferred
from the Brooklyn Presbytery to the
Morris and Orange Presbytery. His
application being in due form he was
admitted. Requests were made from
Madison, Summit and Glare m on t
churches to have the session fill the
pulpits and were granted. The report
of the treasurer was referred to an
auditing committee consisting OF Ed
ers Hoffman and Lloyd, appointed by
the moderator.
The committee on vacant churches
and unemployed ministers made no re-
port. The report of the committee on
evangelistic work was read by the
Rev. E. P. Gardner, of Chatham. He
said that many of the plans made by
the committee had not been carried
out, owing to lack of funds, but the
work had been blessed with good re-
suits.
Rev. D. f. Chalmers, chairman of
the educational committee, read an
application OF George B. Smyth to be-
come minister and member of the
Presbytery. 1t was stated that Mr..
Smyth had been engaged in assisting
Rev. DR.. Ludlow in East Orange for
the last two years. A question was
raised as to taking action upon the
application without the candidate per-
sonally appearing before the session
and answering such questions as might
be put to him.
Several ministers contended that in
answering the printed questions on the
blank application was sufficient, but
the majority decided that Mr.. Smyth
should appear before the Presbytery
at its next meeting and be examined.
The application of Gustavus A. HUI
bert, of Mt. Freedom, to become a
Presbyterian minister was read and
the committee ordered him examined
as he was present. He was asked to
relate his experiences in Christian
work and why he desired to become a
Presbyterian minister. After answer
ing successfully questions asked him
by several ministers, he was accepted
in the Presbytery.
A report was called for by the mem
bers delegated to the General Assembly
at Los Angeles, California. Letters
were read from Rev. Dr.. Holloway, of
Dover, and Fl. G. Jenkins, who are
still in the west, and Rev. G. S. Os-
born and Rev. Stanley White, of
Orange, who were present, spoke at
length of the delightful experiences
had at the General Assembly. After
the business meeting was brought to a
close, half hour was spent in devo-
tional exercises.

LOST THEIR FIRST MATCH.
The Rockaway Gun Club Defeated the
Local Clay Pigeon Experts by
Narrow Margin.

The Rockaway Gun Club came to
Morristown last Saturday and enjoyed
their trip. The local team was in a
good humor and made it decidedly
pleasant for the visitors. The prin-
cipal object of the invading visitors
was to give to the Morristown shooters
an object lesson in the art of breaking
blue rocks. They were successful, and
it is believed the lesson was a valuable
one, for the return trip of the experts
from Rockaway will be made to-mor-
row, and they will then be given an
opportunity to observe an improve
ment in the shooting powers of the
local gunners.
The match was called shortly after
two O'Clock The members of the Nor
ristown club were in an economical
mood and apparently decided not to
break too many of the clay birds.
You see, if a bird isn't broken, it may
be used over again. A great many
were saved in this way for future use.
incidentally the visitors won the
match This was rather thoughtless
of them, but inasmuch as they were
jolly good fellows the defeat wasn't
such dreadful thing after ALL They
were all elected members of the Nor
ristown club after the shoot and several
of them will accompany the boys from
this city to Newton next Wednesday.
Saturdays score was as follows;

NOT TO RETURN TO PAsroRATE.
Rev. Jesse l.. Hurlbut Informs His
Flock of His Decision to Change.

At the quarterly conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church held last
Friday evening, Rev. Jesse l.. Hurlbut,
ID. D., read a statement to the effect
that he would not return to the church
again at the annual conference next
spring, and asked that a committee be
appointed to look about and secure the
services of a minister to take his place
DIR. Hurlbut gave as his reason for his
action that he had been here two years
and had found the work very hard, as
the congregation was large and covered
wide territory He said he had given
the matter much thought and had
concluded that he would be of more
worth in the ministry in some town
a little smaller than Morristown, and
which was in need of a pastor who
could build up the church.
