Mrs. Fred Watson Of Manchester, N.
H., is the owner of a small octagonal
twenty-five cent piece, which is dated
1870. This piece was made and pre-
scented to Mrs. Watson by Charles Hol-
brook, a New Hampshire man who
went into mining In California many
years since. Considerable of this ''pri-
vate coinage" was distributed among
Mr.. Holbrook's friends.
A party Of Apache Indians on a visit
to Washington visited the senate and
listened with stolId interest while Mr..
La Toilette talked OF attempts by cor
porations to steal Indian coal lands.
One of the red men had been imbibing
freely, and when the bell rang for exec
utive session he refused to depart, de-
handing that the paleface talk some
more. 1t took the combined efforts Of
his friends to remove him.
Two cases Of reIhorsefui consciences
lately came to public notice In New
port, r. |. A farmer who had supplied
a town grocer with eggs for several
years, which the latter had not taken
the trouble to count. called upon him
and confessed that he had cheated him
out Of SIS By short count whereupon
the grocer also acknowledged having
cheated the seller by passing a coun-
terfelt ten dollar hlll upon him.

The town Of Arapahoe, Okla, Is the
first place to provide storm cave at
school for the exclusive use Of the stu
dents. This s'fraid hole, as 1t is called,
is ten feet wide by forty eight feet
long and will accommodate $50 chill
dren It is built to Withstand the cy-
clones which are so prevalent in the
early spring.
The men at the head Of the paper in
dustry Of this country say that the flu
ture of sufficient supply of paper de-
ponds on the use of some annual plant
which has hitherto been wasted. The
cotton stalk Is the latest substitute for
wood pulp, and samples Of paper made
from this source test out fully as good
as the paper now In use.
Four years ago an Oregon man sent
a big potato to friend In Brown coun-
ty, Kan. The Kansas farmer planted
it, and it yielded SO well that he decid-
ed it was worth cuitivating for seed
purposes. In four years the potato has
raised over 1000 bushels, and he has
sold big part Of the crop every year
instead Of replanting all Of It.

THE Civic Association is learning
that the millennium is not coming in
Morristown without struggle, and
the officers and members can console
themselves with the thought that all
forward movements come through
tribulation. Already the crank has
appeared to take up the time OF the
meetings with an attempt to call at
tention to himself, and bring in a
brand of peculiar politics. OF course
the latter could not be considered, and
the former will have to be suppressed
in a parliamentary way. 1t is not to
be expected that everybody will agree
with everything that is done by the
association, but the personnel of the
managers inspires the people with con-
tidence and good results are expected.

ADMIRAL CooPER's explanation OF
his politics in tile Civic Association
meeting is entirely satisfactory to
everybody, or should be. He has voted
twice, the first time casting an unsuc-
cessful Democratic baIlotand the other
time a successful Republican ticket
Under the primary act the last vote
would make him a sure-enough Repub'
lican, and if he will lead his fellow
commissioners to give US an adequate
sewer scheme in a short time the first
mistake will be condoned.

If we could believe the Record y
the legislative committee of the Board
Of Freeholders must be mighty in
huential body. 1t credits the commit
tee with securing the passage of the
Boonton town and township separa-
tion bill and Of defeating the Denyille
and Mendham. bills While we do snot
wish to detract from the glory of the
committee it had nothing whatever to
do with the bills in question. The
doing away of the double-headed gov
ernment Of Boonton has been in con-
sideration for years before it would
have given them an additional free
holders. AS to the ]" two Democratic
localities, Denville and Mendham,
which made similar applications to
the legislature, and did not meet with
such success" it is sufficient to say
thlt SO far from Denyille being Dem
ocratlc locality the principal argu-
ment used to further the project was
that it would give another Republic
can freeholder. The Mendham bill
was passed and now awaits the gov
ernor's signature, and does not give
an additional freeholder anyway. As
the Record has not yet learned
that Mr.. Hillery was promoted to the
Senate two years ago, and refers to
him as "Assemblyman I it is easy to
see that tits an unsafe political guide.

SHONGUM LODGE.
9 On, for q Lodge in some vast
wilderness,


. On, for Lodge in some vast
Wilderness
A new project for Morris county has
just been launched by Stacy Beeks
Betzler. He has learned through his
work as physical director that there
are many men who need outdoor life,
but are unable to go the North Woods
or other remote places generally,
though necessary togratify the desire,
on account of business or other rea-
sons. These are not sick men, but
men who from their work need the
outdoor exercise.
SUCH outdoor life can be had right
here in Morris county and Mr. Betzler
has leased a tract of landat Shongum,
adjoining the pretty lake. Here he is
erecting a commissary building and
dining room near the lake shore and
will set up a number Of Indian tepees
and tents for sleeping quarters. Some
of these will be back two hundred feet
from the shore on high ground where
quiet can be secured at any time,
while the dining room will afford a
general meeting place for those social
ly inclined.
a conveyance will be run between
the camp and the Morris Plains rail-
road station and the rates will be
reasonable enough to permit the aver
age business man to crafty his desire
for life in the woods, while if neces-
sary he can go to business every day.
An application of the project is the
establishment Of camps located at a
days journey apart so that be who de-
sires can hit the trial through the UNI
settled section of northern New Jer-
sey and remain away from civilization
for several days, finding a camp up
and cache Of provisions at the end Of
each days journey.

A DOLLAR dinner was given to May
or Pagan at Jersey CityThursday night
at which nearly six hundred were pres
emit. In his address the Mayor alluded
to the Essex senator as /" Governor
Colby" and advanced Corporation
Counsel George G., Record as candi-
date for United States Senator to sue
coed John f. Dryden. Senator Colby
in his speech said that his vote will be
cast for Mr.. Record. These. declara-
lions do not seem to meet with favor.
The Sunday Call says, 1T is not too
early to bring forward candidates, and
all the time between now and the
election Of Senator in January may be
necessary to reach decision. Certain
", it will take a considerable time to
convince Newark that Mr.. Record is
precisely the man to succeed Mr. Dry
den. 1t also doubts ii Mr.. Colbycon-
siders himself a gubernatorial candi-
date.

Here's A Better Corset.

To be comfortable, or not to be COM
Portable is the problem now with most
wome, as their ideas turn toward the
corset question for summer. L he
habit in most cases has been backed
by necessity-to look for different
corset for summer, when in fact the
same make should provide changes ac-
cording to the season. :" La Sylvia"
the corset made famous in short
time, by L. S. Plaut & Co., of Newark,
is one that pleases women the year
round. Its spring and summer models
are the acme Of comfort and figure i'm
proving qualities. The success of this
corset is partly due TO the adaptable
ity- and women who wear it find their
corset tronbles passed. ia Sylvia"
is a high grade corset, but sold at a
moderate price. A request to L. S.
Plaut & Co. will bring a booklet telling
all about the new La Sylvia models.

INDEPENDENT PoLIIlcs.

.
1t fs generally conceded that the in
dependent in politics has a good influ-
ence on the body polite, if nothing
more is accomplished than keeping off
the regular tickets men of unsavory
reputation who are continually seek
ing to get In nomination. But the
trouble is that it frequently happens
that independent movements are used
by scheming individuals to secure per-
sonal advantage. The so-called Colby
movement in this State seems to be
destined to have It's influence for good
neutralized by just this cause. When
David was forced to flee from King
Saul we are told that he fed to the
cave of Adullam, where came 10 him
everyone that was in distress, and
that was in debt and that was discon-
tented" And so with Mr.. Colby. If
he could know the reputation and mo-
tive of many Of his professed followers,
he would doubtless pray to be deliv-
erred from his reputed friends. The
new movement in this county which
the Newark News and New York
!" Tr1bunes are making SO much Of is
a case in point A few DISCONTINUED
persons in the lower end Of Rockaway
township, finding that the people Of
the township would not follow their
gonfalon, had a bill prepared toldiyide
the township. This was given to Sem
ator Hillery with the assurance that
the people ia that section desired to
be set apart by themselves. When the
bill was introduced many Of the infiu-
entail citizens of the section affected
communicated with the Senator, OBJ
jecting to the division, and as the great
bulk Of the citizens of the whole town
ship were opposed to the project and
no public good could arise from it he
did not have the bill pushed. Hence,
the parties who, although in very
small minority, wanted to rule the ma
jority, set up a cry that they were be-
ing ruled bypolitical bosses, and are
preparing to join Freebooter Jack :
Smiths wing of a so-called Colby
movement in Morris county. Certain
ly no one familiar with the men and
politics Of this county and who wishes
to respect himself will join in any
movement of that kind. While we
think that the Republican party in
this State has shown that it is both
able and willing to bring about all
needed reforms, and Mr.. Colby after
his visit to Morristown some weeks
ago was informed that the Republi-
cans here are generally satisfied with
the Republican organization, we ven
ture to suggest that il anything in the
line of an independent movement is
contemplated it, in order to have the
confidence of the people, should be
under the leadership of someone be-
sides lot Of discredited politicians.

ONE Of the fortunate things that
the late legislature did not do was TO
pay any attention to the demagogues
and crooked politicians and their or
gans that were clamoring for the
adjustment Of the voting machine.
On the other hand it IS an nnfortu-
nate thing that the legislature did
not make an appropriation for the in
PRODUCTION Of the voting machine in
every polling distriot b the state.

MORRIS County citizens are to be
congratulated upon the fact that a
way has been found TO put Compel

Republican strikers. We all feel easier
and have more respect for ourselves

A few years ago there lived in Tibet
ford. VT. a man by the name of Scion
r. Berry, who was deputy sheriff for
many years. He concluded he would
like to collect the taxes. Accordingly
he supplied himself with ballots. and
on arriving at the meeting he selected
a man by the name of Porter to help
him. Taking Porter TO one side he
disclosed his plan 10 him, and after
bracing Porter up two or three times
from the hip pocket he gave him the
batch Of ballots with instructions to
distribute them at the proper time.
At last the moderator called for a
ballot for collector of taxes, and when
the votes had been counted announced
that Berry had only three votes.
OF course SOL" as he was called
was disappointed. Finding Porter
alone in one corner of the hall, in quite
a contented frame of mind, he said:
This did not turn out as expected"
Neither did it as L expected" said
Porter.
There is something about it I don't
understand" said SOL"
THAT is just the fix 7 am in said
Porter. You voted for yourself and I
voted for you. That makes two votes.
What I can't understand is. where did
that other vote come from -
