THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT,
The Present Incumbent, Charles j..
Baxter, will be Re-appofnted.

The Present Incumbent, Charles j.
Baxter, will be Re-appointed.
The following will show how some
news items are made and magnified:-
lst. A person who is supposed to de-
sire the office of Superintendent visit
ed Trenton and interviewed a re-
porter.
I'd. A Trenton paper said that SUI
perintendent Baxter would not be re-
appointed.
3D.. A Newark paper stated that Mr..
Sensor, Of the department. at Trenton
and friend of Governor Stokes would
be appointed.
4th. The New York papers had it
that Mr.. Sensor had been appointed
and would take the office Jan. l, 1907.
9th. Another Trenton paper pub
lished an interview with Governor
Stokes in which he said that the re-
port was entirely without foundation.
The simple truth, as we understand
it, is that Mr.. Sensor does not aspire
to the Office, and that Mr.. Baxter will!
be re-appointed.
A malicious falSehood travels faster
and is quoted oftener than the truth.
This one has caused an unusual stir
throughout the State and everywhere
the question is asked" What's the
matter with Baxter ~ The prompt
reply should be : He's all right.

A NEW POST OFFICE NEEDED,
The Holiday Business Completely
Swamped the Present Building.

The Holiday Business Completely
Swamped the Present Building.
The inadequacy Of the present post
office Accommodations in Morrlsuown
and the need Of that federal building
was shown during the Christmas rush
just passed. OF course it was extra
ordinary and the business broke all
records but the general business OF
the Office is constantly on the increase
and is greater in volume than any
place west of Newark.
During the week ending Christmas
night there were dispatched 1926 sacks
and pouches and received 576 pouches
and sacks, effectually beating all prev
ious records. On Monday morning
the wagon had to make four trips to
bring the mail from the station on the
first mail and on Christmas there was
a tremendous amount of mail came in.
The carriers all had wagons to carry
their mail and the last one did not
finish sorting and get away from the
office until after eleven. Some of them
could not finish delivering within the
eight hour limit and had to bring
some stuff back with them.
Two substitutes were employed but
the registered mail was so heavy that
instead of assisting the regular car
riers with the parcels they were kept
busy for three days with the delivery
of the registered matter. The regis
try business showed an increase OF
| fifty per cent. in matter received and
| five hundred per cent. in registered
matter dispatched.
The money order department. was
kept busy on both foreign and domes-
tic and all former records here were
also left in the shade.
Post cards were the bane of the
clerks existence and they had to stand
and sort them for hours at a time
Over two hundred remain in the office
being dropped in the boxes without
the necessary stamps to carry them tc
destination.
Postmaster Clark has appointed
Geo. @. Marsh assistant postmaster ir
place of the late Charles M. Phillip:
who died last week. Mr.. Marsh ha:
already been sworn in and will entel
upon his duties next Monday. The
new appointee is native of Morris
town and has resided here practically
all his life except for a few months re
| Gently when he was resident of Rose
vile. He has been connected will
the railroad mail service for many
years running between New.York ant

OBITUARY.
ROBERT HEATH LANE.

Robert Heath Lane died at his home
on Clinton street last Monday evening
as the result of a runaway accident
earlier in the evening. He had been
out delivering furniture for Christ
mas for j. Fisch, Speedwell avenue
dealer, and about five o'clock came
down Water street hill from Albeit
avenue. When near the railroad the
horse took fright, probably at a train,
and bolted across the sidewalk, throw
ing the driver out against the railroad
bank. John Taylor who was busy in
the Office of H. p. Witte, happened to
see the horse running across the lots
and going outside found Mr.. Lane ly-
ing against the bank with his head
down. He called assistance and an
attempt was made to secure ply
sioian, but without avail. The in
jured man was finally removed to his
home where he remained in an uncon-
scious condition until nine O'Clock
when he died.
The deceased was born in Somerset
county, January, 10, 1874. and for mos
of his life had been a farmer within a
few miles of Moristown. Six years
ago he removed to Morristown and
has since resided here, being employed
as driver. He was contractor on
the Passaic & Delaware r. r. when
that road was built and was one of the
victims of the crash which closed the
career of the road as separate propo-
sition.
He is survived by widow, three sons
and five daughters, all of whom reside
here except son, living in Mattawan,
who had come home on Monday night
to spend Christmas, and daughter,
living in the west.
