Amnteur Minsutrels.

There are all sorts of things going
on in the Association parlors these
nights. Everyone is talking in rag
time and singing as if their vocal
chords would break. Despite every
thing Secretary ClaghOrn can do land
he is as bad as the restD he is unable
to prevent these outbursts of enthusi-
asm. The boys have decided to give
a minstrel show and that settles it,.
Watch for the results. Among the
gas bags to be on the ends Of the
semicircles are such lOQuacons takers
as Herbert Wildey and John Berry.
There will be comedy four quartet,
composed of well-worn screechers,
Messrs. Owens, Glazebp0ok, Johnson
and Genung. To add to the agony,
Messrs. johnson and Baton will sing
solos. After the first part has been
concluded and all the stars shown a
melodrama will be acted in which two
of Physical Director Gourlie's friends
will stab each other with broadswords,
i'm order to demonstrate the useful
ness of self-defense. No one will
really be killed. This great perform
ance takes place next month. You
can't afford to miss it, even if the ice
refuses to melt on the sidewalks be-
fore that date.

THE Case of Foster r.. t3dSsch ws. the
steam YMcIt "a Aaa.''
An interesting question has been
raised i'm the case of Foster IT.. Birch,
of Dover, VS.. Austin King land Dr. AL
fred II. Walton, which is listed for
trial i'm Morris Cincnit of the Supreme
Court. 1T involves the right of juris-
dicti0n of the State over its navigable
waters.
Last spring the boiler andmachinery
of the steam yacht IS Ada" belonging
to DR. Walton and leased TO Austin
A.. King, to ibe run in connection with
the '' White Line" steamers at Lake
Hopateong, Was found to leak. Birch
was sent for and made repairs, but
when the vessel was launched in the
late spring it was found that the leak
| ing boiler had not been properly re-
panied. DIR. WaAton then notified Birch
he would not pay any bills for repair
work. Rirch put lien on the boat
under the steamship lien act and an
attachment was made by Sheriff Ryer-
son.
Vreeland, King, Wilson & Linda
bury have pleaded in behalf of Walton
that Lake Hopatcong is a part of the
Morris Canal which is an INLAND arti-
fetal waterway connecting nayigable
waters and is therefore under the iur-
isdiction of the Admiralty Courts
This opinion is based upon a recent
decision given by theUnited States Su-
preme Court in ease wherein a levy
was made ON a canal boat on THE Erie
Canal.
The question has never been raised
in New Jersey and the outcome will
be watched by the legal fraternity
with interest.

A WARNING To MoRRIsrowN.
Radical steps Against p. s. C.. Being
Taken in Elizabeth.

Public Service Corporation has
every disposition to comply with all
reasonable demands of the public and
regulations of municipal bodies.
y Unreasonable and vexatiOnS Ordin-
ances and impOsitiOns can only result
in additional delay in the efforts of
the company to improve it's system
and will of course be contested if
enacted. From President McCarter's
recent address to the public.
Patience has ceased TO be a virtue SO
far as the citizens and the city officials
are concerned with the Public Service
Corporation. The challenge in the
form of a veiled threat in the extract
quoted from Mr.. McCarter's recent
address is about to be taken up by
Mayor Ryan, the City Council and the
Board of Health.
The local trolley service has grown
worse if anything within the last few
weeks. The conditions are now al
most intolerable, according to the
statement of almost every person met
on the streets. No attempt is made
at maintaining a schedule and the
cars are run on any old sort OF head
way. Some OF these cars have nat
wheels, more have defective brakes
or something is wrong with the
mechanical equipment. Elizabeth

Merchants Form stamp Company.

A new phase of the trading-stamp
business, and one which threatens to
do away the old form, has appeared
in Elizabeth. A certificate of incor-
poration has been filed in the Union
county clerks Office by the Merchants
Union Stamp Company of Elizabeth.
The object of the corporation is to
sell, lease OF otherwise distribute or
dispose of stamps or certificates or
coupon stamps to and among mer-
chants and dealers in various kind of
goods, the same to be redeemable in
goods to the value of the denomina-
tion of the stamps.
This appears to furnish more
favorable offer than stocking homes
with the various trading-stamps COM
panies, "Brummagem" ware, as the
stamps are redeemable in useful goods
at the stores Of the various merchants.

In an old hut in the woods near the

If possible, his nunbed body. He had

QUESTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED
Concerning the Morristown Street
and the Proposed Trolley.

CONCERNING the Morr1stoWn Streets
and the Proposed Trolley.
Is the right of way for a trolley
road through the streets of Morris
town thing of any pecuniary value !?
And of what value? Such is the
question which is to be discussed in a
meeting of the Society for Political
Inquiry In the hall in the Farrelly
building ON the evening of Friday,
February 5. The invited speaker OF
the evening, Mr.. E. K. Sumerwell,
of the prominent law firm of Sumer-
we'll, Sharp & Vermilyea, of Nassau
street New York, is leading member
of the Citizens Association of East
Orange, and gentleman who has
given special attention to the question
of the value of municipal franchises.
Probably there will be afforded an
opportunity forthe asking Of questions
and for general discussion.
The topic OF the evening Ss sone OF
great Importance to our citizens
| Whether trolley line would or would
not be of advantage to the town, it is
liable to come at any time and the
people should be prepared to say
what terms shall be demanded oft
In order to pass through our streets.
Even though the traffic will for some
time yet be too small to enable the
company to pay anything for the
right of transit, the next twenty
four years may show agreat increase
inabusiness and the town should make
sure that it will then obtain some
thing from the company. Though
colt be worth nothing at present it
Ishould not be given away. The
citizens should take the trouble to
inquire what the right of way through
the streets is worth and should insist
on being paid therefor.

Hurtzig, foreman Of the jury Water
man gold fountain pen, with the fol-
lowing remarks:
"Mr. Chairman: j have been re-
quested by the members Of the Grand
JHpyAto perform.a very agreeable duty.
1t is said that duty performed is its
own reward. And that saying is true.
1t is not always that one can have the
satisfaction of knowing his labors have
been appreciated by others, while it
may be a sacrifice to him, and oc-
casionally it is wise and graceful to
let him know that his services have
received due appreciation. And now,
Mr.. Hurtzig, we want to place in your
hands something that will let you
know and cause you to remember that
your earnest desire to fulfil your duty
has not only the approval Of your own
conscience, but the approval of your
associates. viii your accept from us
this pen as slight testimonial Of
what we think of you ?"
The present was duly accepted by
Mr.. Hurtzig with an expression ol
thanks.

The Mt. Freedom Road Appears to

The Mt. Freedom Road Appears to
Meet with DIsfavor by Those Pre-
sumed to be Most Interested.
! 1t is doubtful if there is more mis-
represented state of facts in connec-
tion with the building of county
road than the one now under con-
struction called the Mt. Freedom road
and which has been singled out BY the
Morris County Board of Agricultufe
to be discussed at the meeting to-
morrow iii the County Hall. And yet
there Is 81 mystery about the road
which perhaps viii never be explained.
| Ii IL largely through ignorance that
| the road and builders are condemned,
| for to, thoroughly understand the
situation acknowledge Of the country
is necessary ii
| Prior to the petition for n,acadam-
izing the road there was q demand
made by the patrons of Lake Hopat-
cong who came via New York, New
! ark and the Oranges for a more direct
route to the Lake through Morris
county. The summer trafiic had be-
come SO large that II was deemed
| necessary to encourage it, and to do
this the Mt. Freedom road had to be
taken into consideration. AS it was,
| the route through Pine Brook, Dem
Vile and Dover became the main line
| to the Lake, thus cutting off Norris
town and it's surroundings. BY driv-
ing over the Sussex avenue turnpike
to Mt. Freedom the distance to the
Lake was shortened and the drive made
more picturesque. But the road was
over rocks and rills, hills and dales,
making it hazardous to venture with
a light carriage or wagon.
Beyond Mt. Freedom lies one of the
prettiest spots in Norris county. 1t
is on the Succasunna Plains, and is a
most desirable spot for country resi-
dences; and at this day it threatens to
be rival of Bernardsville.
1t seemed part of wisdom to the
county authorities to macadamize the
road and thereby enhance the value
of the property in that section of the
county. 1t was a great undertaking,
and has not only cost large sums OF
money but required the backing Of the
county's most astute politicians. As
to the probable cost: at present writ
ing $55,000 has been expended, and as
muchmore will be needed tocompleteit
1t will then have the distinction of
having cost more than any road OF its
kind for miles around, and yet as
much money has been expended for
roads in Passaic township.
| A Chronicle representative was In
formed that several weeks ago an in
dignation meeting was held in Mt.
Freedom, and the Norris County
Board of Freeh0lders vilified beyond
description for approving this certain
piece OF road; hnt when ted that it
was in their interest that the road
was macadamized, and for tine future
prosperity OF the surrounding country,
one man repented Of his backbiting
and said the day would come when the
people along that road would mise up
and call the Freeh0lders blessed.
