Cheap Rents.

The Warren Tidings," published
at Washington, says
At the present time there is quite a
demand in town for rents supplied
with modern improvements, Such
properties are very desirable and as
fast as one is vacated it is rented with
out even as much as a sign being
placed in the windows. The houses
in many cases are engaged by a new
tenant as soon as the old tenant gives
bis notice to the property owner.
Houses supplied with hot and cold
water, bath, toilets and a furnace can
easily be rented for Sl5 per month and
will be found to be a paying invest
ment for the owners when properly
managed. There are many houses for
rent in town which have only one
faucet in for city water and they rent
at low figure. The same house it is
stated with Improvements would bring
almost double the rent obtained at
the present time.
This is about half of What homes OF
that character rent for in Morristown

Rixal Telephone Company.

The application of the Atlantic
Telephone for a franchise to operate a
telephone system in Greater New
York win come up for hearing at the
meeting of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment in the middle Of Sep
tember. The company plans to invade
the territory of both the New York
Telephone 20. and the New York 50
New Jersey Telephone Co. These
two companies, which cover the Great
er New York telephone field, have in
operation at the present time over
100000 telephones. 1t is probable that
when the hearing on this franchise
comes up there win also be several
other applicants for franchises, and
the hearing may have to be postponed
to a somewhat later date.

The Lake Hopateone steamboats.

As a result OF the dispute over the
condition Of the Lake Hopatcong
steamboats,, William Fl. Lewis, of
Morristown. visited the lake and in
spected all the passenger boats except
the Gladys and f. w. Zuck whose own
ers declined to have them re-examined.
The new inspection gave a clean bill
of health to only three of tae boats
examined, the Arrow and the Aida of
the White Line and the Mystic Shrine
of the Black Line. The big Hopat-
cong, the Alametcong and the Musco-
netcong were all condemned along
with the smaller ones. The Secretary
of State has asked for the return of
the licenses issued for those boats, but
as yet they are doing business. The
affair has shown that the State laws
governing navigation on the lakes are
thoroughly Inefficient for the purpose.

The Madison Eagle says: "The old
Union Hill school bell, which helped
to make up the dual chime in the tow
er at fire headquarters cracked when
rung for the fire on Garfield avenue.
1t has been taken down and returned
to the case in the fine assembly room
in the fire building. In its place has
been hung the old academy bell, which
years ago when Madison had only a
bucket brigade, was used to alarm
the village in case of fire. Many Of
the older inhabitants will remember
that this bell is clear and sweet in
tone, and its sound carries unusually
far for its size. It's tone will recall
many pleasant memories to those who
answered or heard its call many years
ago. y

big territory, and it is undergoing
some of the most remarkable changes
that have occurred in this State. Farm

center has gone up to just ten times
the old price since the boom set in,
and it seems likely to go higher. There
is mania for big stretches of land

Standing Of the clubs is as follows !:



The Morristown-C Chatham A. a.
made great finish at Summit last
Saturday afternoon when they beat
the leaders by a score Of 3 to 2. Lefty
Davis, the local southpaw pitched an
excellent game, allowing but six
hits, and finished his game in great
style by striking out the last two
batters up. Adams, the regular first
basemen refused to play at Summit
on account of the abusive treatment
he receives there. Cy Page, right
fielder was moved to first base, and
played the initial sack in good style,
and also by his timely hitting scored
all the three runs for the local team.
Both Courtney and Curley played
fine fielding game, making some SEN
sational stops. Lindeman pitched a.
fine game allowing but one hit up to
the ninth inning when he allowed the
locals two singles and a double. Ufn-
pire Hopkins was away off on strikes
and balls, favoring Summit through
out the entire game.

Both games at Franklin Park last
Saturday afternoon were close and in
teresting, each club winning one.
Grove had an off day and his errors
were accountable for the first and last
runs scored by the visitors, the other
two coming on clean hits. Although
the Pastimes hit the ball hard and
often the results were very poor, two
runs off of twelve hits being the best
they could do, while the Actives made
as many runs on five hits without the
assistance of errors which certainly
proves that luck was all against the
local team. In the second game luck
still continued to be unfavorable to
the home club, and they were only
able to score five runs off Of ten hits
and the help Of four errors by the
IIearney team besides The ActiveS
on the other hard scored three runs
off three hits. They would not have
been quite so successful, however, had
two or three Of the Pastimes fielders
handled the ball with little more
precision.
Carrell made phenomenal catch in
centre field in the third inning Of the
second game, while Lawless was best
at the bat, making a single every
time he came up in the first game.
West was a close second in the second
game getting three singles out of four
chances.

At least rs per cent-maybe more
of the clothing now being sold is

mercerlzed cotton. 1t is fact of vital
Importance to the dealer as we'll as
to the wearer.
To the dealer, because it leopard
ICES his reputation for good quality.
The fabrics look good; if he sells
them for all wool, either innocently
or deliberately, the effect on his busi-
ness is the same. The temptation of
greater profits. may blind him to the
injury, but will not lessen it.
To the wearer, because whether he
buys them for what they are, or for.
what they appear to be, he is sure to
be disappointed in the looks and wear
of his clothes. Fabrics of cotton and
wool don't wear like all wool; and
not even the best tailoring will keep
such clothes in good shape.
But If it is easy to be deceived in
buying clothes, it is just as easy to
escape deception. The Peoples Ware
house clothes are made from all wool
and silk fabrics; no cotton of any sort
in them. Silk sewed seams, best of
tailoring and style Your safety is in

Victor C. Heikes, the engineer who
is looking up rare metals for the
United States geological survey ar
rived yesterday evening having left
the train at Bellevue to visit that To-
cality says the HALEY Times.
The work that Mr.. Heikes is doing
will prove of enormous value to the
United States and to the world as well
as to the individual mine owners as
some of the rare metals and minerals
that are worth many times their
weight in gold are known to occur in
this Wood river and Little Smoky re-
gion as well as in other parts of
Blaine county. But the owners of
the claims wherein these rare sub
stances are found are not aware OF
their character or value, hence con-
slider them not at all.
The railroads, apprecating the
value of the investigation that Mr..
Helkes and the federal government
are making, have agreed to haul to
the Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland ore. any number of car
loads of material needed absolutely
free of charge. as Mr.. Heikes hopes to
secure fully 5000 samples, and to get
some of these in lots running UP to
carloads each, the contribution of the
railroads will be worth while.
In Portland, these samples will be
tested. assayed. analyzed and tried by
various concentrating processes or ta-
bles, also tried by cyanidation. and
the results noted with the greatest
accuracy and reported to those who
VIII have delivered the samples.
. All this will be done free of charge.
The only expense to those. who supply
the samples will be the cost of haul
Ing from the claims to the nearest
railroad point.

oRIENTALs SUBJECT TO TAX.
Chinese and Japanese Must Help
Maintain the Roads.

Many inquiries are being made by
the supervisors and others interested
in road improvement relative to the
matter of collecting road poll tax
from Chinese and Japanese. The
Marion county court as we'll as Dis
trict Attorney j. H. McNary holds
that all Chinese and Japanese are
subject to road poll tax and that. it
is the duty of the supervisors in the
different districts to collect the same.
The tax was collected from these
CLASSES in Marion county last year,
in one instance rs japanese being
held up" in a crew of railroad la
borers. At the rate of SO per man
the road tax from this source is an
important item and adds considera-
BILE to the road fund. The law does
not specify that citizens only are
subject to the payment of road poll
tax, but all Inhabitants" of the state.
The section of the law covering the
matter reads as follows:
Every male inhabitant of this
state over 81 years and under so
years of age unless by law exempt,
shall annually pay road poll tax of
50, which shall be collected in cash
by the road supervisor of the district
in which any person liable therefor
resides, and which must be collected
by the road supervisor on or before
the first day of December of the year
for which such poll tax is due. Such
poll tax must be paid on demand to
the road supervisor"
