Some of the Romans seem to have
been very solid" while others were
fast to a degree not known nowadays,
says the National Review. When o
Caesar was killed on the ides of March,
Antony owed $1,000 900, which he paid
before the kalends of April out of the
public money and squandered, accord
ing to Adams, s2S, 600, 900. Caesar him
self, before he set out for Spain. was in
debt to the extent OF $4,000, 600. Len
tulus possessed $6,145,S30. Claudius, a
freedman, saved $12,500, 900. Augustus

A strange CONN.

The strangest coffin of which there Is
record, perhaps, is n for which the
British War Department is responsible.
The story is that a workman engaged
in casting metal for the manufacture
of ordnance in the Woolwich arsenal,
lost his balance and fell into a caldron
containing twelve tor Of molten metal.
The metal was at white heat, and the
mans body vas utterly in
less time than it takes to tell about it.
The Wal Department authorities held
a conference and decided not to pro-
fame the dead by using the metal in
the manufacture or ordnance, and the
mass of metal was actually buried,
and a Church of England clergyman
read the services Of the dead over It.

and Postal.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT
New York Union Men Declare
That Forty-five Wire Chiefs
Have Joined TIiem--RaiIread
Telegraphers Financial
Aid Will Be Asked. s.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Despite re-
peated declarations of officials of both
telegraph companies that the backbone
of the operators strike is broken, the
striking telegraphers assert today that
they are more confident of winning
than ever and are ready to stay out
for any length of time rather than to
return to work at the old wage and
time schedule. Failure of the union
operators and wire chiefs to respond
to the general strike order issued by
Samuel J. Small, national president of
the t~elegraphers' union, is looked upon
by the heads of the companies as a sign
of the loyalty of the men who remained
with them. and assert that it proves
the breaking of the strike.
Operators employed by the various
brokerage firms in the financial dis
trict were the only ones affected in
this city by the general order, and
many of the houses have signed the
union contract calling for the new
wage scale.
The labor leaders declare the call
was made only to give the strikers the
moral and official Endorsement of the
national president, and that there were
very few union men to be called out.
The union men say hat forty-five wire
chiefs in this city have Joined them in
the strike, but this is denied by the
telegraph company officials.
Plans for raising a strike fund of at
least $2,000,0 900 are being formulated by
the national executive board of the
union. The money is expected to come
from union operators still at work,
from the Order of Railway Telegra-
piers and voluntary contributions from
other labor bodies.
Belvidere Brooks, superintendent of
the Eastern division of the Western
Union, says the strike order made by
Small will have nc effect on the situa-
ton and that everything is running all
right throughout his territory.
e. ]. Nally, vice-president and gen.
eral manager of the Postal Company,
asserts that it is today in far better
shape than it has been at any time
since the strike began, and that many
of the old men who struck have ap-
piled to be taken back.

ances of a waiting anne on both sides.
The companies claim to be in better
shape than on any preceding day. and
they certainly were handling moro
business at their main offices in this
city. The officials of the union assert
ed, as they have since the strike, that
the telegraph companies are hopeless
1y crippled. The peacemakers were
making no progress in any direction.
The general strike order issued yes
terday by the union had apparently
no effect in this city either yesterday
or today. The Western Union today
claimed that the only effect it had ex-
erted on the strike vas to call out
seven men in twenty different States.
The number may be slightly increased
when every Office in the United States
is heard from, but both the Postal
and Western Union declare that the
order has not had the slightest effect
In interfering with their work.

50 YEARS OLD
AND REMEMBERS MANY IN
TERESTING MATTERS.
Saw the Beginning Of Railroading in
This Section and Also the Growth
of His Religious Faith.

CHATHAM, Aug. 17.-Henry Houston,
of this place. celebrated his eighty-sixth
birthday anniversary on Thursday. Al
though no elaborate celebration marked
the event, relatives and friends from
Newark, New York and many other places
attended and offered their congratulations
and good wishes.
Mr., Houston was born In Ireland, IN
1911. coming to this country sixty-seven
wears ago. He came directly to Chatham
and secured a position on the farm Of
William c. Wallace, which he held up TO
about eleven years ago, when he retired
from farming, moving to his W house
on East Park street. Mr.. Houston is a
widower his wife having died about a
year and a half ago. Since then his SON.
Edward B. Houston, who Is married, looks
after his welfare.
IT is interesting to hear Mr.. Houston
detail the early methods Of living and
travel in Chatham, sixty-five years ago.
He remembers distinctly when the motifs
and Essex Railroad. now the Lackawanna,
ran one small car for passengers every
morning from Morristown to Newark, re-
turning In the evening. The engine, ne
says, was a toy compared to the present
mammoth high-powered locomotives. the
speed was so slow that it was an easy
matter to get on and off between stations.
A yoke of oxen was kept at Stanley to help
this outfit climb the hill to Summit.
Mr.. Houston has the distinction or be-
ing the Oldest Catholic in Morris County
and Is at his best in telling the history
Of his church during the past sixty years.
When he first came to Chatham there were
but two churches of the denomination IN
this neighborhood. one at Morrlstown ana
one at Newark. He. was intimately ac-
quainted with the early priests of this sec
tion. and tells MANY interesting anecdotes
of their hardships and labors. He guided
Father McQuaid. now the bishop of Roch-
ester, through his section when he col
lected funds to build the DID Springfield
churchs which is now situated at Short
Hills.

like the fight of the pugilist with no
motive outside of the fight. They
fought rather to settle a fight, one that
had been waged since the Republic be-
gan. There had been compromise
after compromise over two great ques-
tions. I am not prepared to deny but
that compromise was necessary to
save the life of the infant Rebuplic.
But whether from wisdom or necessity
or cowardice the settling of these two
great questions of human and state
rights was postponed from one gener-
alton to another. However it remains
true that the life of man on the earth
is life of progress toward perfection.

land was greatly honored. Among
other honors there was proposed by
the Duke of Cambridge, review of
the English army. And then General
and Ex-Priesident Grant replied: "a
military review is the one thing I
never hope to see again." And the
greatest general on the other side said
to an American lady: DO not teach
your children to hate, teach them
that they are Americans. [ thought
that we were better off as one nation
than two, and think so now.''
These great leaders and the men
under them did not fight for the fights
sake. That would have been brutal

the race has dropped into oblivion.
Their names and their graves are I'M

long as history is read, as long as the
world lasts, so long will the soldiers
of the sixties be remembered, many of
them by name-all of them as soldiers
of the Grand Army of the Republic or
the Grand Army of Confederate VET
Grams.
It is natural on this day to review
the past. While we decorate with
flowers and flags the graves of the
dead, we cultivate also the flower of
memory in our hearts. This is we'll
for us all, it keeps our hearts tender;
and to the young is source of living
inspiration. Much of the war was
prosaic indeed to those who fought it
through. We of this generation must
not lose sight of that. While we think
and speak of great feats of valor and
great deeds of great generals we must
not forget the common soldier, who
endured long marches, the lonely
picket pacing backward and forward
through long night watches, the starv-
ing prisoner dispairing of ever seeing
his home again, nor the women and
children who stayed at home. and
managed the stores and cultivated the
soil and thus became the sinew and

And there are questions that must be
solved, that cannot be put off forever
except the race of men stood still

stood.''
Then, in the fullness of time, many

passion, in about the only way they
knew how to do it, the North and the
South said 'sLet US 60 to war and

such cold blooded and deliberate
agreement. This war was literally
plunged into in a blind, hot-headed
way and then in that first battle there
seemed as great anxiety and haste on
the part Of some to get out of it. Yet,
nevertheless, it remains true that the
great God of battles used the blind
passions OF men, their folly and waste
and sacrifice to work out the great
problem of the rights of the black
man on the earth. From a constitu-
tional standpoint his rights are as
sured, but from practical standpoint
we have yet far to go. And 1 want to
