The annual session Of the Morris
County Board of Agriculture last
Saturday afternoon was a decidedly
spicy affair and the presumed feat
ure of the session, the paper on the
San Jose scale prepared by Prof.
John B. Smith, State Entomologist,
was so deeply buried in the " cut"
and fills of The Mt. Freedom
road that it had a hard time creep
ing out.

On Tuesday night general fire.
alarm was sounded, calling out the
whole fire department, AS it hap
pened, the fire of itself was of small
account, but it served to point out
a source of danger which should
not be overlooked. The fire started
in a basement on Morris street lust
opposite Spring street, and the per.
son who discovered the fire should
have gone to Memorial Hospital
notified the attendant on duty and
the alarm would have been turned in
for nominal box So, and the fire APP
paratus would have gone direct to
the spot. Instead, he ran to Smith S
pharmacy, corner of Park place and
South street, turned in the alarm
from box 73 and then went away.
When the heavy truck dashed up
to the box there was no one to in
form the driver as to where the
fire was located and he naturally
continued down South street until
reason told him that he was on the
wrong trail. Happily, the services
of the truck were not needed but
they might have been-and badly.
Persons turning in fire alarms
should remember that it is incum.
bent on them to remain by the box
until the first company or an officer
Of the department arrives. Oh
course, if there is sufficient illumin,
alton to guide the fremen such &C
ton would be unnecessary.
1t should be remembered also
that the nominal alarm boxes at All
Souls and Memorial hospitals were
established partially with view tc
emergencies such as happened last
Tuesday night.

Fair Play.

For the third successive year, the
New Jersey Legislature is presented
with the anti-pigeon shooting bill,
and again is revived the interesting
subject as to whether New Jersey
legislators will prohibit this sport.
Unfortunately the Senators and AS
semblymen as a body have not been
allowed to express their sentiments
openly upon the question at issue :;
fair play has not been permitted BY
the few opponents of the bill who are
influential and active behind the
scenes, and the bill has been hereto
fore smothered in committee, except
on one occasion when it was able to
pass VIGOROUSLY through the House.
1t would seem probable that with the
present legislature fair play can he eX-
pected, and friends of the pigeon had
their hopes revived when j. Boyd
Avis was appointed Speaker of the
House, because last year he was re-
corded as being in favor of allowing
the bin to pass from the Committee,
in order to bring it before the House
for discussion. When he therefore
this year reappointed on the Game
and Fisheries Committee the members
who last year helped to smother the
bill, emitting the single member who
had favored it, surprise was generally
manifested.
One way in which Speaker Avis can
MAINTAIN his good record for all that is
just will be to refer the pigeon bill to
some other committee than that which
pigeonholed it last year. Heretofore
all in favor of this bill, together with
those who would uphold fair play,
have asked, most rightly, that this
bill be allowed to come to a vote in
both houses of the Legislature. This
they will ask again and again. and
continue to ask until pigeon-Shooters
are weary of the fight, or until the
| legislative committees are composed of
class of men who will not resort to
these methods to deprive the govern
ing body of their liberty to speak for
their constituents. Public opinion de-
mands fair play in the New Jersey
Legislature of 1904, and the question
is whether fair play will be permitted
when the bill which was known as the
civilians Bill' again makes its APP
pearance. To Speaker j. Boyd Avis
we look questioning, hopeful eyes

Three or four weeks ago The
Chronicle stated that the Public
Service Corporation was menace
to the interests of the State, and
later circumstances appear to war
rant the assertion. Wherever this
corporation has implanted itself
with franchise and commenced
operations it has been forcibly re-
minded of its inadequacy and in
competency Newark, Paterson,
Passaic, Jersey City, Hoboken, the
Oranges, Elizabeth, Plainheld and
smaller places have for long time
protested against the poor service,
only to be met with excuses and
promises. These promises remain
ing unful6lled the authorities OF the
various municipalities betook them
selves to vigorous action. This
aroused the ire OF President Nc
Carter, and in an interview he ut
tered the following thinly-veiled
threat
IF the Public Service Corporation
goes down as a result of movements to
which referred few moments ago
down go the underlying securities
down goes individual after individual
Show me the bank in Hudson county
that can stand up under it. That is
the serious aspect. The banks have
got these securities as collateral the
individuals have got the SECURES as in

If this curious financial cobweb
is spun of such flimsy material as
neglected franchise obligations it is
time the State authorities took the
matter in hand.

There are daily occasions in life
when we emerge from the turmoil
of civic duties and behold the work
of the reaper Death and such has
been the experience during the past
week. Sadness has swept over this
community with resistless force.
The uncertainty of human life
dwells ever before us and who can
tell the day or the hour when the
summons shall come to join the in
Vulnerable host that is iourneying
to the tomb Yet
To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die. +"
In the death of Lieutenant Henry
w. Miller, which occurred in this
city last Saturday, this community
suffers a severe loss. Mr.. Miller
has been All important factor in the
development of the town and has
served as its Mayor and Recorder,
discharging the duties of those Of
fees with zeal and devotion in the
interests of the people.
AS an official of the Morris Coun-
ty Savings Bank Mr.. Miller was
instrumental in making the institu-
ton what it is to-day. AS its pres
ident his conduct was marked by un
failing courtesy. So long as health
permitted he was faithful in attend
ance at the Bank and was beloved
by its employees.
1t is often true of men that the
gentlest i'll the everyday life are
among the strongest and bravest
when called by their country for
courageous action. This was true
of Lieutenant Miller, who was edu-
Gated for the navy and gave the
early part of his life to the service
of his country on the high seas dur
ing the memorable Civil War.
In placing tribute upon the
grave of the late Major Henry M.
Dalrymple, the same can be said Of
him, that on the country's call he
went forth with the great army tc
battle for the perpetuity Of the Re
public In the last few days of his
life, when strength passed to the
weakness of age, he waited bravely
for the 6 bugle of God " to sound

rymple was always kind and consid-
crate. He loved to do good and
was ever ready TO help the poor and
needy.

Republicans of Paterson, were ex-
PEELED from the membership of the

last Friday night. The charge was
disloyalty to the party. The spe.

oppose the election of certain Re-
publican nominees last fall 1t is
stated that they received fair trial
and the charges were fully proven.
Hence this drastic dose of disci-
pine.

 The silence of the sheriff and chief of police today is rather puzzling. It has given rise to the theory that they are endeavoring to slip into the city with the prisoner, but the people in the sherifR'S office and in that of the chief of police are not inclined to that view. Neither do they believe there has been any hitch in the release of Duncan by the authorities of Florida or the Federal Government They simply say they have received no telegrams and dc not know the reason why.
 It is very generally believed that the officers will not come to the union pas senger station with the prisoner, but will leave the train at the outskirts of the city. where a carriage will await them. The theory is that they do not care to have to deal with the immense crowd which Is certain to assemble at the passenger station.

Advertiser Bureau, Selma, Oct. {. The Selma Cotton Exchange met ir called session this afternoon at | o'clock to take decisive steps toward re lieving the congested condition of the warehouses and congresses. The meeting was called to order by Presidet Agee. Many members spoke in regard to the situation, and many were the expressions of disgust. II was evident that the Exchange was of one opinion. that the present manage ment of the Selma presses was incon'- petent and that the management did not appear to want to relieve the situa- tion which is causing such a great loss of trade and money to the merchants of this city.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad was asked to rescind the order tu agents prohibiting them to accept cot ton for Selma. assuring the company that the business men of Selma were in a position to care for all cotton which might be received in Selma If the Gulf Compress Company Is not
