THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

Prof. ]. b. smith, State Entomologist.
Asked to Lecture in Morristown.
Is it possible to awaken the people
to tie fact that the San Jose scale is
here. The most destructive insect on
the earth. Something when once up
on our trees no tree Of any kind, fruit
or shade, shrub or bush has lived ury
less it was checked.
The writer Of this, the past week,
has been with Mr.. Brehme of the New
Jersey Experimental Station, inspect
ing orchards throughout the county
and the fact was found, that we have
thousands of trees now affected Many
whole orchards that the axe and saw
and fire are the best remedy for.
The Morris County Board Of Agri-
culture has requested Prof. j. B Smith
to come before the people of Morris
County and give them a lecture with
in the past two years on the San Jose
scale, how it could be controlled and
destroyed and were informed that un-
less we did control IL and destroy it
our fruit trees woul be destroyed, then
our shade and forest trees. We were
informed in some sections that during
the past year hickory nut trees were
so affected that the leaves turned yell
low and the nuts did not mature, some-
thing never known before. At anoth-
er place we were told they were cut
ting down young trees in the woods
covered with the scale. That it can
be controlled when taken in hand in
time we have positive proof Of, from
those who followed Professor Smith s
advice, and it has been proven it was
well worth the time and money spent.
What can be done--would it not be
a good thing to have meeting called
in Morristown? Ask the people not
the farmers alone. 1t is to the inter
est of all to stand by one another; we
are all interested and it is to every
ones interest to help the others. 1t
is to our interest TO compel those who
are doing nothing but breeding scales
by the millions to take hand either
by sprayingor the axe, or have the law
step in and be enforced.
If the people desire meeting of this
kind they can address,

fences Of the board Of trade in trying
to reach manufacturers.
Mayor Reed suggested to Mr.. Nc
Evan that he electrify his railroad,
then said that there is no necessity to
discuss sewers and trolleys. He said
he was not a new convert to the troll
ley idea and cited the examples of
Providence r.. j., and Plainfeld. He
believed that the citizens want the
trolley, but don't want to give away
the town. The kind Of factory that
is wanted is one that comes for bust
ness not for a bonus. Let us make
the motto, Active Morristown.'
Aldermen Day said he was glad to-
see an awakening Of public sentiment.

Alderman Mowery said that the

of course some people who don't want
progress. but very few. Parcel out

the interest Of the members. Do not

to attend the trolley hearing next
Wednesday evening. President Smith
appointed Messrs. Johh Simmins, g.

nounced that he would name the
members of the executive committee

a hundred and fifty members.

sufcida at Chatham.

Ralph G. B. Moore, son of Frank
L. Moore, of Chatham, committed
suicide last Tuesday night by drowning
himself in a spring in the rear of his
fathers place. The young man was
twenty-four years of age and student
in Columbia University. He had
made application for orders in the
Protestant Episcopal Church, but in
the course of his university studies
his religious convictions had become
unsettled and he had given up the
idea of taking holy orders, although
'this fact he had not told his parents,
who were very much in favor Of his
continuing on to the ministry.
He came out to Chatham on the
train reaching that place at 1906 a.
M, and probably went to the spring
at once. Before leaving the city he
mailed letter to his father telling
him his body would be found in the
spring. Search was made after the
receipt of the letter and the body
found. Coroner Coultas gave a burial
permit.

An Early Morning FIRE.

The local fireman had a hard exper-
ience early Wednesday morning when
the fire alarm called them out at two
o'clock to the residence Of Max Mintz
on Speedwell ave. The fire apparently
started at the bottom of the dumb
waiter shaft in the basement and far
from any fire. 1t spread rapidly in
the high wind and the house was
Quilted. The firemen remained on
duty until seven o'clock the intense
cold making their work very difficult.
The house was erected by Mr.. Coursen
many years ago and was commonly
known for long time as the Witte
place. Later it was run as a hotel and
known as the Sinclair house. Then
the tract was cut up and the house
and part Of the estate came into the
hands of the present owner. He paid
much less for the property then the
house cost originally.

Ere at Morris Plains.

About I 80 o'clock Wednesday even
ing, fire was discovered in two-story
frame dwelling used by employees, be-
longing to Henry Ashenbach, near
Morris Plains. Word was sent to the
State Hospital, and part of the fire
department under command OF Chief
Mulford responded. On account Of
the high wind attention was turned
to saving the main house, as it was
only few feet distant This was ac-
complished by keeping the roof wet,
although at times a shower Of sparks
covered it. The fire started from a
defective fiue, and spread so rapidly
that one of the employees who was in
the building did not have time to save
anything belonging to him. The build
ing which was totally destroyed was
valued at about $500.

state Banking Institutions.

David o. Watkins, commissioner Of
banking and insurance of the State Of
New Jersey, in his annual report says
that there are in the State So trust
companies, 26 savings banks and II
State banks, having aggregate re-
sources of s276, ,6l9, ,020 and deposits Of
1921, ,228, 400. The resources show an
increase of per cent. and the de-
posits Of II per cent, in the year. The
report Of the comptroller of the cur
rency last November showed that
there were 139 national banks in New
Jersey, with resources OF s178, III, ,624,
and deposits Of s113, ITO, ,4O7. Combin-
ing the two reports it appears that

Vote in Favor of MuniC-
ipaI Ownership of
STREET RAILWAYS.
Advocates Of a Higher Rate of Ii
Cense for the Saloons We're
Also Successful.

Chicago, Ill.-Under the result
of the city election held Tuesday, in
which the question of municipal own
ership of the street railways was the
vital issue, the city of Chicago can
proceed to acquire and control the
railways, but cannot operate them.
At the same time the voters, while
declaring that the city shall not pro-
ceed to operate the railroads, de-
clared that as a question of public
policy it would be desirable for the
city to do so.
Three propositions were submitted
to the voters, the first of which was:
"Shall the city of Chicago proceed
to operate street railways?"
This proposition required 60 per
cent. of the total vote cast in order to
become effective. The total vote was
2S1,171. OF this number the PROPOSE
ton to proceed to the immediate OPP
Grafton of the street railways secured
120,911 votes, or 1872 short of the
necessary three-fifths.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance previously
passed by the city council providing
for the issue of street railway Ger
tificates in amount not to exceed
S75,000,000 for the purchase, owner
ship and maintenance of the street
railways. This was carried by about
3,400 votes.
The third question, which was SIM
ply on the question of public policy
and has no legal effect whatever, is
"Shall the city council proceed with
out delay to secure the municipal
ownership and operation of the street
railways under the Mueller law, in
stead of granting franchises to priv
ate companies?"
This proposition was carried by
about $500 votes.
Besides the question of municipal
ownership the issue was made in
many of the aldermanic contests of
whether the saloon licenses of the
city shall be $500 or $1,000. The low
figure was in existence up to March 5,
when the city council passed an or
dinance raising the amount to $1,000.
The liquor interests made strong
fight against every alderman who was
up for reelection who had voted for
the license of $1,000. OF the 15 men
against whom they put their influence
IL were elected and three defeated
OF the nine aldermen up for re-elec-
ton who voted for the continuance Of
the $500 license, all were returned to
their seats in the council. There is
little danger, however, that the high
license will be repealed.

MINERS STRIKE NOTES.

The big strike of 509,500 miners has
gone into effect. Only those will re-
turn whose employers grant the 1908
wage scale.
The extent of the coal strike in the
bituminous fields was reduced by more
than half through the action of the
miners convention in Indianapolis,
which decided that the miners shall be
allowed to work for operators who are
willing to grant the demands of the
men.
President Roosevelt decided not to
grant the request of bituminous coal
operators for the appointment of a
commission to inquire into conditions
In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and will
take no action until the prosperity of
the country is at stake.
The strike of miners in both the
anthracite and bituminous fields of
the country is virtually complete. Op.
orators of the western Pennsylvania
district, with few exceptions, have
granted the miners demands. En-
ployers in other bituminous fields re-

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed Of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and o
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen.
nial year dawned it found their prop.
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

Made No Progress.

New York. - The sub commit
tees representing the anthracite
operators and the mine workers of
eastern Pennsylvania held their first
joint meeting here Tuesday and after
nearly three hours session adjourn
ed until Thursday without coming to
an agreement. Each side to the con-
troversy had refused to make the
slightest concession, and the whole
question apparently is as far from So
luton as 1t was before the conference
began. In the meantime, the tieup of
the anthracite industry remains
complete, without indications that a
resumption of mining will occur very
soon.
