who was the principal figure in the most
recent social sensation at the capital. is one
of the aids to Major Thomas w. Symons.
the master of ceremonies at the White
House. This gentleman has his hands full
at all times. The social functions at the
White House. especially the large recep
tons, public and otherwise, require a large
amount of preparation in order that they
may pass off in a decOrous manner and
without a hitch. The master of ceremonies,
who sees to the decoration of the rooms,
must arrange music for the occasion and
the programme of airs that will best suit
the guests to be entertained-in fact, he
takes from the President and the first
lady OF the land the entire responsibility,
worry and care of giving an entertainment,
SO that they may feel upon taking their
places Tor the reception that everything
tail.
Having arranged the details for entertain
ment, the master of ceremonies then studies
matte representatives, sticklers for social
precedence, have to be handled with kid
gloves. They are the bugbear Of every Off
cial who has to provide for their enter
tainment. Seats at table must be ar
ranged as to satisfy each representative
that he has the position to which he is en-
titled, not alone by his rank, but by the
rank of his country. In case OF doubt the
master of ceremonies has the State Depart
ment to fall back on, but nevertheless he
has TO solve the problems at risk of Civ
ing offense. Sometimes he must act in an
emergency and then trouble usually fol-
lows
The master of ceremonies is the chief mil
itary aid of the President, the disbursing
officer of the White House, and in addition
he has charge of public buildings and
grounds in the national capital. This Amer
lean Pooh Bah" has many duties to per-
form. AS the military aid of the Presi-
dent he must on every occasion, when the
President appears in public, don his full
regimentals, respondent with gold lace and
with feathered chapeau, making a picture
beautiful TO behold. The White House as
signment, usually given to army officer
of experience, is one of the most arduous to
which an officer can be detailed. But with
al il is eagerly sought.
While Major McCawleys break created
n stir which has not yet subsidized, he is
still on duty at the White House.

WILL REAR THEIR BABY
TO AN OUTDOOR LIFE
Ernest Thompson Seton and His
Wife to Bring Up Daughter
as An Indian.
FOREST TO BE HER HOME

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Snuggled away in
a basket of laces, silk and linen is Miss
Ann Seton, weight ten pounds, age fifteen
days. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Thompson Seton. no hyphen. please,
by order of the Supreme Court of the State
of New York.
Miss Ann is to be an Outdoor child,' to
quote her father. She is to be brought up in
Indian fashion. She is to learn woodcraft
and life that is outdoors. She will go bare
legged and bareheaded as soon as she is
able to stand it. She will learn to paddle
canoe, to swim, to skate, and to follow a
trail through SHOWS. When the proper time
comes she may sleep in a tepee in company
with other little girls on the shores OF the
cession to conventiOnality is all she may en-
joy. Her mother will never carry her
around on her back papoose fashion.
Mr.. Seton, it is no longer Seton-Thomp-
son, or Thompson-Seton sat in his home
and discussed plans for little Ann. The au-
thor, naturalist and artist never seems to
grow old. The arrival of the child has
made him look more like a happy bride
groom of year than the sedate married
man of eight years and forty-four years
old, and for the first time father.
Mrs. Seton and l are happy" said Mr..
Seton. THE baby weighed just seven
pounds and twelve ounces, and the first day
Sne lost an ounce. was worried, Dut nave
since found out that all babies lose little
weight at first"
(This is to show that Mr. Seton knows
much more about wild animals than about
babies.)
Ann is to be an outdoor child. She will
learn to swim as soon she can walk. She
will learn to skate as soon as she can swim.
She will go barefooted in summer, and
bareheaded, too, as Indians do. In winter l
am not so sure. She will be outdoors all
the time, but as yet / can't say much as to
this attempt at hardness. By the results
achieved we shall guide our education of
Ann.
AN Indian life by all means On our place
at Cos Cob, Conn, life is all outdoors. We
call it Wyndygoul, after the old Scottish
place of the family's, and there We are try
ing to get as near primeval life in the forest
as possible. There. after April l. we will
make our permanent home, coming to town
a month or SO In winter
There little Ann will grow up. When
she is old enough she will sleep outdoors
when the weather is mild. have read about
people curing themselves of consumption by
living and sleeping outdoors, even with the
thermometer below zero. l hardly think
we will let little Ann sleep outdoors for a
while yet, under the zero conditions"

JUVENILE COURT PENALTY
IS NOT CONVICT LABOR
Central Labor Union Ready to Re
cede from Former Stand on
Local Question.
FUNDS FOR LABOR TEMPLE

Although at the last meeting of the Cen
trail Labor Union the body declared against
the plan TO have young criminals work out
fines. the report of the legislative commit
tee last night was against the previous
stand.
When the motion was passed il was be-
lieved generally that the plan of the Juven-
lie Court tended towards convict labor.
However, after a warm discussion last
night it was shown that such is not the
case but that the court is seeking TO do a
good for the maynard boys.
The meeting of the c. l.. L. last night was
devoted almost totally to discussions, one
of which was that pertaining TO the Labor
Temple of Indianapolis, a project which
is now in the hands OF a committee. The
committee is raising funds and when 5000
has been secured Will call convention of
all unions in Indianapolis to decide upon
plans. The discussion centered upon the
nonpayment of Labor Temple dues by the
unions. The committee reported that it
now has about 1900 as fund.
There was a lively fight at the outset of
the meeting over the organization of a
local union among the carriage workers
here, by Organizer W. a. Landgraff. Mr.
Landgraff attempted to organize these men
but met objections from the Painters
Union who claimed that the workers be-
longed to them.

Mother Is Frustrated by News of
Sons Death, Which Clears
Mystery.
BURIAL AT OLD HOME

Word was received here yesterday of the
death of oscar Roth, whose mother and
brothers live at 124 East Pratt street The
news came as a shock 10 the family, who
had of late been instituting a search for the
missing brother.
Ten years ago, just after the death of his
father, Roth left his home at Kendallville
Ind, to invest his legacy in Iowa land.
For a while letters were received from
him, but at the outbreak OF the Spanish
American war he enlisted and since then
letters came less frequently. At the close
of the war he located in Honolulu, and since
then he has been regarded lost, his CORE
spondence being abandoned.
Several months ago. at the request of the
aged mother who now lies PROSTATE at her
home search was instituted TO locate the
missing son. and members of the family
We're devoting every energy TO this end
when the death news was received.
Arrangements have been made for the re-
turn of the body 10 the old home al Ken
dallville, where burial will take place.

HARTFORD. January 8. 1904.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1904-04-19

THE New York "Times," in a re-
cent article, discussed the question of
a Democratic platform and tried with
no success to suggest one that would
meet the requirements. In its gener-
al conclusions it said:
" If the Democratic party can win
this year, it must be by a policy so
sound that it commands the united
support of Democrats and divides the
Republicans; clearly, it cannot win
by policy that divides the Demo-
Gratis and repels all Republicans and
all rational Independents.
Which means that the Democratic
party cannot win at all, for it is the
height of absurdity to imagine that it
can agree upon a platform which will
command the united support of that
party, and divide the Republicans. 1t
is not likely to meet even the first of
these essentials.

WHILE the legislators very generally
responded to the call for the extra
session of the legislature, and most Of
them were gratitied that an oppor-
tunity was afforded them to make a
record on the pigeon bill, it was found
that very few of them considered the
time opportune for taking up the canal
abandonment bill. There were so many
interests involved, and the question to
be considered so complex that almost
unanimously they decided not to take
up the matter. This was wise on their
part, for if the abandonment bill had
been put through in the form as
recommended by the commissioners a
wave of indignation would have swept
over the State that would have made
shipwreck of the political fortunes of
every man who had voted for it. Judg-
ing from the sentiment generally ex-
pressed if ever the canal is abandoned
it will be along different lines than
they suggested, and private citizens
along the line of the canal will be well
taken care of as the great corporations
who are now seeking to obtain valu-
able franchises for nominal considera-
tions. The Lehigh Valley Railroad
deliberately placed itself in the posi-
tiOn 1t non occupies and the general
public does not seem to be wasting
very much sympathy upon it.

THE Madison Eagle" looks with
envious eyes at the prestige Morris
town enjoys as a residential town, and
in speaking of recent article in the
New York Herald on the advantages
of Morristown says it did not say that
Madison sis more beautifully located
better lighted, has purer water and as
good roads as Morristown. 1t gives as
a reason that Madison people are doing
nothing to advertise Madison in New
York and Newark. Our brother of
the eagle" evidently has not lived in
this vicinity long enough to know
that Morristown's popularity as a resi-
Dental town does not come from adj
vertising. On the contrary, with its
taking reporters and would-be reform
ers Morristown has had enough adj
verse advertising to ruin town not
as thoroughly established in reputa-
tion as she is. Morristown is in a class
that few towns in the country can hope
to get in.

A TABLE of the imports from the
United States into the countries of
the world just prepared by the Depart
ment of Commerce, shows that Uncle
Sam is supplying the rest of the world
a goodly portion of the merchandise
that is used. OF the 8,14k054. 900
worth of merchandise imported by
Europe in 1902 the United States sup
piled Jasper cent, of the total. South
America took 1856 per cent. of her
imports from the United States, Asia,
81 per cent, Africa 5.58 per cent. The
countries most nearly contiguous to
the United States are those which
take the largest proportion of their
imports from this country. Mexico
takes 1921 per cent, of all her imports,
Canada 57.29 per cent, Cuba 43.71 per
cent, Central America 1882 per cent,
and the British West Indies 1897 per
cent, while the South American coun-
tries fronting on the Caribbean Sea
take about one-third of their imports
from us.

THE State of New Jersey is to be
congratulated upon taking her place
in the roll of the States where humane
sentiment prevents the needless suf-
fering of pigeons for so-called sport.
The passage of the anti-pigeon shoot
ing bill is a triumph of right principle
and the people of Morris county have
reason to be proud of the fact that
not only did it's representatives in the
Legislature vote for this humane
measure, but here also has been done
much of the work of educating and
arousing public sentiment that
brought the passage of this humane
measure. With characteristic modes
ty, however, our humane workers
seek no credit for what has been ac-
complished, but give great praise to
George NJ Mccarthy, president of the
of the Hudson county S, p. G. A.
who labored with untiring zeal for the
accomplishment of this purpose. In
fact, they say, he started the move
ment by calling meeting in his Office,
and has devoted nearly all his time
this winter to this cause.

THE newspapers of the State have
had much to say, since Thursday, in
regard to the address made by Richard
V. Lindabury before the Democratic
convention, over which he was called
to preside. He tore passion to tatterS
in his denunciation of trusts and
lamented the fact that they prevented
young men from getting on in the
world. He never seemed to appre-
ciate the fact that it was corporations
and trusts that gave him an oppor-
tunity of pushing up from an obscure
country lawyer to a prominence that
enables him to make between $50, 900
and $75, 900 year as counsel for their
terrible affairs. There have been a
number of reasons given for Mr.. Lin
dabury's presence before the conven-
tion, some of which are not compli-
tary to him. 1t may be, however,
that he denounced the octopuses out
of the fullness of his heart, as he GER
tainly is in position to know as much
about their inside workings as any man
in the state; it might appear to him
an opportunity to square his con-
science after taking their good money
in liberal quantities all these years.

THE appropriations by the recent
Legislature include 800, 900 for voting
machines. This amount will purchase
two hundred machines, and it is ex-
pected these will be distributed among
the counties for use in the November
election. The machine in use has Civ
en- satisfaction, but the price is entire
ly too high. For this reason it is pro-
posed to defer getting full equipment
for the State. The commission will
test the merits of other inventions,
and through competition may get a
substantial reduction. In three or four
years it is expected voting machine

ing precinct in the State.

AS the time is drawing near for the

AS the time is drawing near for the
corporation election there is a mild
interest taken in the matter by
Republicans. The Democrats, how
ever, are stirring themselves, and the
indications now are that Mayor Reed
and the Aldermen whose terms expire
in May will be renominated. There is
considerable friction among the Demo-
crazy at present and, as the town has
a natural Republican majority, there
is no reason why Republican Mayor
and at least two Aldermen should not
be chosen, if good representative men
could be induced to accept nominal
tions, and be supported after they are
nominated. There is a sad lack of
interest in municipal matters by a
good many of our citizens, which is
discouraging to those who desire to
see our town affairs improved upon.
Complaints are continually being
made in regard to streets, street
lamps and other matters, as well as
disregard of ordinances and general
laws. Now is the opportunity for
making changes. If several first
class men could be induced to con-
slider the Mayoralty and Alder
dermanic nominations the Republi-
cans could secure a majority of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen, and a
division of responsibility would be a
healthy thing for the town. 1t is up
to the Republicans of the town to
present good men for the suffrageS of
the people at the next election, and
they will be elected without doubt.
But this, judging from past expert
ence is almost too much to hope for.
The Ward committee and others will
spend considerable time in persuading
men to stand as candidates and when
they fail will be censured for " making
deal with the Democrats to let them
have the town in the spring."
