FAIR FOR THE BENEFIT
OF MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
There was a Large Attendance and a
success Financially. The vaude-
Vile show an Attraction.

There was Large Attendance and a
success Financially. The vaude-
Vile show an Attraction.
The annual fair of the Young
Women's Guild for the benefit Of the
Morristown Memorial Hospital was
held in Washington hall on Wednes-
day and continued Thursday. The
fair has come to be one of the events
Of the spring season and enlists large
number Of the we'll known women of
Morristown.
This year the fair was as great asuc-
cess as ever, one difference being that
it's results are to be devoted to the
building fund of the hospital. The
present building has been overcrowded
and more room is needed. Consider
able money had been subscribed for the
object and the fair added to this
amount.
The rooms looked very pretty with
the numerous tables stocked with
goods Of all descriptions, while attrac-
tively-gowned attendants added to the
beauty OF the scene. The goods hand
led included fancy work, toys, grocer
les, pillows, flowers and plants, in fact
almost everything imaginable. In adj
dition a bountiful supper was served
at low cost besides other refreshments.
A jack in the box was a novelty, and
palmistry was practlced in tent in
the gallery.
Several years ago a cook book was
issued for the benefit Of the hospital and
this,year another one is issued from the
press of THE JERsEYMAN of unusual
interest as it is the joint production Of
| a considerable number Of Morristown
ladies who have taken the opportunity
to reveal to the public some Of the
secrets of their domestic life which
have added good cheer and happiness
to their homes. The business people
of Morristown, also, knowing a good
thing when they see it, have made a
very general contribution to the work
with view Of enabling all interested
to put into practical operation the
hints Of the ladies. Further informal
tion in regard to this most valuable
publication can be had on application
to the managers Of the Memorial hos
pital fair, as the edition was not en-
tirely exhausted at the fair.
In the large dining room a yaude-
vile show was given, consisting Of
songs by the Letter Carriers Glee
Club, the \. M. G. A. Quartet, Messrs.
Claghorn and Gourlie gave a broad
sword contest and Mr.. Gourlie an ex-
hibition of club swinging, Charles Dab
inett exhibited his trick dog, George
Babbitt did some clog dancing, f. a.
Trowbridge gave a photograph con-
cert, and Punch and Judy also proved
an attraction.

BIG FIRE AT
WHIPPANY
The Stony Brook Board Mill
Burned Last Saturday.
Loss $3.50, 1000.
LOCAL FIREMEN CALLED OUT

The Stony Brook plant Of the Uni
ted Box Board and Paper Co. caught
fire in a corner Of the stock room
about eight O'Clock on Saturday morn
ling and the whole plant was destroyed.
1T was thought for a time that the
boiler house could be saved but that
took fire later in the day and was con-
sumed. All that is left of the large
board mill is the brick side walls, most
of which will have to be rebuilt, the
boilers, and a mass of old iron.
The cause Of the fire is not known,
but is attributed to spontaneous com
bustion. The plant had closed down
on Friday night as usual, and there
were very few persons about the plant
Saturday morning, nobody as far as
known was in the stock room which
was piled to the caves with old paper.
The employees Of the company in
Whippany came to the plant on the
blowing Of the whistle, and had sew
eral streams Of water on the fire from
the fire pump located in the yard and
worked hard to save the works. AS
sistance was called from Morristown,
and the Washington steamer, First
Ward Hose and Truck Co.'S. red wagon
went to the scene.
The loss is figured at about 1850, 600,
with insurance Of XSI 600
The plant was built several years
ago by the Stony Brook Co. who erect
ed entirely new buildings on the site
of the old Eden Mill, and equipped
them with new machinery Of the lat
est pattern. There were two machines
with capacity Of about fifty tons per
day. The plant covered a large area,
but was only one story high. After
the organization of the Board Trust,
the plant was sold, and has since been
operated under the trust management.
1t is estimated that about seven
hundred tons of finished boards and
five hundred tons Of stock we're burned.
Some of the stock was piled in the yard
and four cars standing on the siding
by the mill were hauled out Of reach of
the flames by the Morristown & Erie
r. r.. crew.
