more loved by all who knew him
than he. He was once a show
dog in a way, when he lived in
New York, for he was at the sta
bles of the Hippodrome, where his
almost human intelligence made
his watchful care of the horses
there a charge of wonder and adj
miration. Mike had his own way
of driving the show horses around,
and if any one of them happened
to go to the wrong stall, Mike
gently tolled him to the right
stall with the dignity of a born
diplomat. Then Mike changed
masters through the generosity Of
his owner, who said his love for
Editor Carson alone tempted him
to make the present Then Mike
became a resident of Palisade,
where his popularity became wide
" known He was the insepara-
bic companion of little Allan Car
son, four years old, and his guard
ianship was SO pronounced that
even when the neighbors were
caressing the little chap, Mike was
on hand to know all about it. If
bit of rough-house with the boy
was indulged in, Mike wouldn't
have it, and he had a cute little
way of barking up and edging the
person away from Allan, as if to
say, Nov, you just let my little
bov alone"
Finally, one day, Mikes friendly
inclinations got him into trouble,
and he followed some one down
to the ferry-house and disappeared
into the depths of New York
There were long searches for
Mike on the Jersey side, but no

ton an advertisement was put in

of weary waiting it brought news
from Mike. Some one away up

many difficulties in the search, he
was at last found and brought
home His own joy was scarcely
surpassed by that of the good peo-
pie of Palisade, who gathered on
the street corners to hear all about
how Mike came back "I'll bet it
was prayer that did it, said one,
for the Carsons are devout peo-
pie, and had made no bones about
having prayed to have Mike back
again. 81 wonder what made him

Church-going time again.
For a one-year-old town Pali-
sade boasts of some handsome
lawns and flower gardens.
It will interest many to know
that the Palisade woods have
some fine shrubbery, which can be
transp1anted with good effect in
gardens.
Mr.. Arthur Carson, City Editor
of the Evening Telegram" New

have been impossible He will see
that we get our dues-and pay

DR.. Burton-Opitz owns several
other lots in Palisade besides his
residence plot. He recently pur-
chased several on the western re-
serve. Nothing better as an in
vestment.
Mr.. Henry Douglas says Pali-
sade Just suits him. Wise man.
Mr.. Arthur W. Tams has proven
himself one of the most wide
awake citizens of Palisade. When
anything escapes his eagle eye, it
will have to take on lot of speed.
Young Garfield May, who sue
ceeded John NJ Hunter as super
intendent of the Hudson River
Realty's interests, has gone about
his duties without any fuss and

NEW TINE TABLE.

Went into Enect May 2Oth-R -Reunc-
tion IN Time sidemacked.
The new time table came out for
the Lackawanna on Sunday, but the
hopes Of those living til this vicinity
who had heard rumors Of shortened
time have been rudely dashed to earth.
1t is the same old summer schedule
with train changed a minute or so
here and there. The greatest change
is that the old Easton express is made
a second rater and the despised ac-
commodation which for several years
has followed twelve minutes after the
express is made the express and
makes the run in twelve minutes
less time than the EaSton train. It's
starting time from MoTristown is
changed to $50. An inspection Of the
table shows why. 1t will hereafter
carry the p s. .. passengers from
Summit on. A new train on Satur-
days only, will leave Morristown at
3.30 p. M.
On Sunday additional trains leave
Morristown for New York at 7lo a.
M, 8. 10 a. M, 4 7.08 and 90 D. m. Ad-
ditional trains for Morristown leave
New York at 7.l5, 915, ll.30 a. M
500, 5. As, 600 p. ID. The 9l5 a. M, is
comparatively fast, the 400 p. M, has
been shortened fifteen minutes
People are asking what is The use of
the improvements made on the road
in the past six years. They have had
an idea that the lessening of the New
ark grade and cutting off Of the top Of
the Summit hill, together with the
abolition Of grade crossings and the
purchase of the new big engines was
going to result in better time being
made, but If with the work practical
ly finished at these places and no new
work being undertaken, no reduction
is made, what OF the future. Where
is the inducement for Morristown,
either as a corporation or individuals
to give the Lackawanna thirty or
forty Thousand dollars for improye-
ments here, as, according TO reports,
that corporation wants.

WHIPPANY INDUSTRIES.

improvements Made by the NIcEwan
Brothers in Their Various Plants.
Eden Mill number three was started
at Whippany Wednesday by the Nc
EVAN Bros, when board was made
for the first time. The old plant Of
the Stony Brook Co., which was
burned two years ago has been rebuilt
on much the same lines as the former
building and new machine, engines
and boilers put up. The beaters are
the Downington Pa, make, while
the other board machinery comes from
the Black -Clawson Co., Of Hamilton,
Ohio. The machine worked nicely
when started. a short time being re-.
quired to tighten belts and other
working parts.
The machine has capacity of forty
five tons Of board per day, and runs
with surprisingly little noise. The
engines and boilers were also secured
especially for the plant, draught being
provided by four stacks each a hund-
red feet in height. The McEwan
Bros, say that it is the finest plant in
the world for its purpose. A second
machine is to be added to the plant,
work being already under way on the
motive power for the additional ma
chine. The plant requires about fifty
hands for it's operation.
Ground was broken on Wednesday
for the new plant at the Hanover
Brick Co. IS works. The structure will
be practically ireproof and will house
a machine with a maximum capacity
Of $4,000 brick per hour, 1T is ex-
pected that the plant will be COM
pleted in ninety days. Some additional
trackage will be necessary TO serve the
new plant. A patented device has
been secured to handle the brick from
the machines to the dryers and kilns
by conveyors, cutting out large
share of the labor usually required In
brick making.
The general offices Of the company
has been moved from Malapardis to
the new plant.

In an open letter issued Thursday
Senator Thomas J. Hinery challenges
Senator Everett Colby to meet him on
the stump throughout the Morris coun-
ty senatorial district to discuss the re-
spective legislative records Of the two
Senators. Mr. Hillery claims that his

mands The right to be publicly heard
in refutation Of such aspersions. Fol
lowing is the text Of the challenge
BooNToN, May II.
To the Hon. Everett Colby
MY dear Senator AS you have
pitched your tents for battle within

g structures upon the alleged sins Of
omission and commission Of Morris
county representatives In the Legisla-
ture, doubt ii am asking too much
of a fellow Senator when request that
you give me the opportunity Of self
defense by meeting me upon the plat
form in the various towns of Morris
county to discuss the subject above
mentioned.
This L ask not only>in self-defense OF
my reputation asa legislatorof which |

Of my people in Morris who have re-
turned me several times to the Legis-

stewardship.
We both entered the Legislature
four years ago and have been in close
touch since, and / feel that no man
knows better than yourself what |

liberty to lay before the people Of my
county my legislative record ii full, |

lican party of the State.
While you personally are making no
illusions TO me in your speeches, one
Of your speakers and closest advisers
who is going about with you, has seen
fit to criticise my public acts, and /
have the right to assume that it Is
done with your approval and possibly
by your advice.
The avowed purpose of your move
ment is to furnish Morris county with
better representation, which, of itself,
is a reflection upon me, and you can
scarcely deny me the right to be heard

Senator Everett Colby has not yet
rec eived the letter printed from Sem

DISTINGUISHED AMERICAN
JEWESSES.

During the $50 years which have
elapsed since the settlement of the
Jews in the United States many Jew
ish women have attained prominence
in art, in letters. in the social world
and in philanthropy. Probably the
most notable social career achieved by
any American Jewess, says the New
York Sun, was that of Miss Rebecca
Franks, who has been made the here
inc of several romances. The Sun says
further:
She possessed great beauty. Her
grandfather had been the British
kings agent for the Northern Colonies.
Her father was the kings agent for
Pennsylvania.
During the revolution her family
sided against the patriots. OF her
Leon Hummer, curator of the American
Jewish Historical Society, has writ
ten:
"She was the reigning belle during
the British occupation of Philadelphia.
General Howe was in the habit of
tying his horse before David
Franks house and going to have
with the ladies', and pos
sibly to enjoy a laugh at some of
Miss Rebecca's sallies. Although the
beautiful Jewess shared honors with
fair vikings and Shippens, no one dis
puted her title to be considered the
wit of her day among womankind."
She was something of a writer, and
her descriptions of the social life in
New York and Philadelphia during the
revolution have been published.
Esther Etting Hays, wife of revo-
lutionary soldier, figures in the his
tory of Westchester county, N. Y.

Bedford, the Tories entered the house

JUDGE oooDWIN's OPINIONS.

The Crisis, the local Socialist organ,
had the following regarding the Tele-
grams acquisition of Judge Goodwin:
"There are but few men in any COM
munity whose opinions have a cash
value. Most of us have difficulty even
in giving opinions away. 1t does not
follow, however, that the opinions
which command a monetary return
are of most value. The contrary is

The following appeared in the edi-
torial columns of the Tribune on We'd
nesday morning:
Calamity upon calamity follows in
the wake of Shoots Senatorship If
ever any state was cursed by one
mans individual ambitions, this I'M
happy commonwealth of Utah is be-
ing blasted by the folly and the cruel
selfishness of one man, Reed Smoot,
apostle of the Mormon church and
the copartner of Infamous law-break-
ers."
An absolutely true and correct ex-
preston of the idea is as follows:
Calamity upon calamity follows in
the wake of Kearns' senatorship. If
ever any state was cursed by one
mans outrageous individual ambitions
this commonwealth of Utah is being
blasted by the folly and the cruel
selfishness Of one man, Thomas
Kearns, well known and infamous

part it, and after she had been threat
ened to no avail the house was fired,
and mother and child were carried into
the woods for safety.
Rebecca Gratz, one of the most re-
markable Jewish women in American
history, came into prominence in the
early part of the nineteenth century |
She was born in Philadelphia in 1881. |
Like Miss Franks, she was striking |
type of the highest Jewish beauty.
She was not in any sense religious |
| fanatic, but she was devoted to her
race and her creed. Many were the
suitors who sought her favor, AMI 1t
was not because of an unsympathetic
or unloving nature that she ended her
days unmarried.
Rebecca Gratz was the intimate
friend of Matilda Hoffman, Washing
ten Irving's first love, and she was to
him an inspiration There is a tradi-
ton that Irving spoke to Sir Walter
Scott so often and so enthusiastically
of the nobility and beauty of this wo-
man that she was subsequently por-
trayed in the character of Rebecca In
"Tvanhoe." She was the close friend

of her day. Henry Clay was a con-
slant visitor at her home, and her cor
Irespondence with men of letters has
since been published
Coming down to the achievements
of Jewish women of more recent per-
iod, the Sun says:
Emma Lazarus, the Jewish poet and
advocate, attained a prominence in
American literature which no other
women of her race has ever reached.
She was born in 1855 AMI during the
thirty-eight years of her life pro-
duced work which Browning and
Whitaker predicted to be the fore
runner of some of the greatest Amer
lean verse.
Miss Lazarus was a woman OF
wealth and belonged to the oil Por-
tuguese Jewish aristocracy. Her life
was not marked by any striking
events. It was placid and calculated
to produce anything but the impas-
stoned verse and drama which won
her distinction.
, This was before she had been awak-
ened to the defence of her people. For
generations the Lazarus family had
been Indifferent Jews and, as she de-
scribel it, ATTENDED the synagogue
through force Of habit" Even her
book on Disraeli revealed an appre-
citation only of the deeds of the man
and ignored him as an example of the
highest Jewish type
The prosecutions of the Jews in
Russia in 1881 awakened in Emma
Lazarus powers previously dormant.
Her poetry began to take a more hui
man note. 1t stirred the hearts of
!. it's readers with the sufferings, the
humiliation, and the wrongs of her ma
ton.
1t was then she wrote 'Tn Exile"
"The Banner of the Jew" "The New
Ezekiel" and "The Dance of Death"
In this she typifies the wrongs of her
, people since the fall of Jerusalem.
1t was at this time, too, that Emma
? Lazarus took up the study of Hebrew
and Of Jewish history, and sha threw
, her whole frail life into an effort to be
of some practical use to her suffering
> people. Miss Lazarus's sonnet to
,, Rartholdi, "The New Colossus" has
,, been engraved upon a brass tablet and
affixed to the Statue of Liberty.
