SEWER ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY

The voters of South Orange Township
have been officially notified, through n
circular letter. of the recent decision Of
the Township Committee to nave a new
special election next Tuesday to decided
the question of authorizing the committee
to issue 1876. 600 in bonds for sewers The
letter, signed by the sewage and sanitation
committee, reads as follows:
"A special election will be held at Baker
and Valley streets on Tuesday, August s.
Polls open 6 a. m. to Z p. M at which
time the question OF the $4,000 sewer
bonds, voted for on December 3, 1906, Will
be again submitted for consideration.
"a question as to the form of ballot
used at the election of December 3, 1906,
has arisen, and IN order to clear the mat
ter and legalize the issue this course Is
being followed as the quickest method of
settling the dispute between counsel. The
contention is that the general election laws
were not compiled with In the proceedings
outlined by township counsel In the use of
two ballots instead of one.
This defect in proceedings has seriously
delayed the whole question of sewer
liberals, but the committee is doing all
within its power TO expedite the matter"

here over the light sentence of two years
imposed upon the negro. Charles Hopes,

garet Meade some months ago in this city

ence was brought to bear to get a light
sentence. and not the least of 1t was a re-
quest Of Mrs. Emily Williamson. of Eliza
beth. to have the culprit turned over to
her as the probation officer
The prosecutor said he could see no rea-
son to ~criticise Judge Atwater for the light
sentence in view of the pressure brought
to lear upon him. Letters from prominent
citizens were presented by the defense. and
the writers are being harshly criticised be-
cause they are of standing in the churches
and ave children of their own.

shouldn't go.
The ducklings are about Ave days old,
and, having lost their mother, the cat
adopted them. The foster mother has taken
kindly to her new job, n allows them to
nestle under her legs and body. She also
shares her saucer of milk with them.
When it was seen that the cat was will
ing to undertake the job of bringing up
the little ducks a place in the store win
dow was provided for them, to keep them
from being stepped on, as pussy could not
be expected to live in a duckhouse.

ANOTHER EDISON FAKE STORY.

Another "Edison" story which was cop
day proves to be a little cratic, accord
ing to Mr.. Randolph, of the Ediso fac
that John Thomas. of Detroit, Mich, the
man who taught Edison the rudlments
OF biography had accepted an invita-
ton to spend the remainder of his days at
West Orange. The only serious defect in
the extended account is the fact that
Mr.. Thomas died last month. Another
weak point in the story. according to Mr..
Randolph. is that Mi. Thomas didn't teach
Mr.. Edison telegraphy. that distinction
having been earned by a man named Mac
kenzie, who died some time ago.
