KELLY.MOoNEY.

Two more souls were made happy
yesterday morning at the court house
when Rev. Rawls performed the mar
riage ceremony for Mr.. F.. F. Kelly
and Miss Tilley Mooney, two young
people from near Sanford. Mr.. Kelly
was one of the most backward of
young men and was entirely too ex-
cited and frustrated to purchase the
marriage license and when the wedd-
ing party showed up at the court house
he remained in the hall while Miss
Betty Mooney, sister of the bride.
went in and made the deal with De
putty Clerk Chambers for the neces-
sary papers after which he showed
up and managed to muster enough
courage to answer the interrogatives
of the minister. After the ceremony
the happy couple departed for their
home near Sanford.

TO EXTERMINATE
INFECTIOUS COWS
Associated Press.

Washington, October 29.-In an eff
fort to exterminate bovine tubercu-
losis, thousands of infected cows will
be killed within the next few months
by order of Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture. This plan
has been preached to President
Roosevelt, and has received his Of
fetal Endorsement.
Recent tests made by the depart
ment of agriculture of the effects of
the use of milk from diseased cows,
especially on babies, have resulted in
reports of such an alarming nature
that Secretary Wilson has decided
that the public welfare demands the
elimination of the plague. Many
cows have already been killed in the
district of Columbia and the terri
tories, where Secretary Wilson has
the power to inforce the pure food
laws. In the states, where the gov
eminent pure food law is inopera-
tive, the secretary will invoke the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission, which forbids the ship
ment Of milk that has not been tested
from one state to another. Rather
than have the markets closed to
them, it is believed that dairymen
win submit to have their herds ex-
amined by government experts, and
the diseased cows destroyed. The
shipment of uninspected mich cows
from one state to another will also
be prevented, and cheese and butter
may also be affected by the proposed
regulations.

TONS OF NAUGHTY
POST CARDS OUT
GOVERNMENT THROWS THEM
OUT IN LARGE NUMBERS.
Most Offensive and Indecent Cards
Come from Foreign Countries.
Many Of Them Sent to the Dead Let

confiscated every month by postal Of

this morgue of decadent literature,
just published, throws some interest
!, ing side lights on the relative status
Over 100000 post cards are re.
ceived every month at the dead let
ter office. OF these, the majority are
not delivered because of insufficient
| address or lack of proper postage.
The average number of cards receiv-
ed monthly, which are held up be-
cause of obscenity, is about 5000
| OF this number, New York furnishes
a larger proportion than any other
postoffice in the country, but this is
largely due to the fact that all in
coming mail from abroad passes
through the metropolis. The number
of obscene and indecent cards actu-
ally mailed in New York is not much
If any, greater than in Chicago, and
is even less in winter. Very few
cards of this character are mailed
in Philadelphia, Boston is also COM
paratively moral, and st. Louis is not
as sinful, in proportion to population
as many smaller cities. In the sum-
mer months Atlantic City furnishes
an extraordinarily large number of
post cards that are unavailable be-
t cause of their indecency, and it is,
perhaps, entitled to the palm as the
plague spot of the country, accord.

says is in general use among the So
ciety women of France, who have an
International reputation for their ex-.
quisite compilations. The recipe is
as follows:
Two ounces of Rose Water; one
ounce Spirits of Cologne; four ounces
CARTON (crystallized)
Put the CARTON in pint of hot
water (not boiling) soft water being
preferable. When it Is dissolved and
cooled, strain through a fine cloth,
add the Rose Water and Spirits of
Cologne. This preparation to be ap-
piled twice day or oftener and

and If adhered to persistently is said
to produce wonders even on the

1t is an inexpensive mixture and the
ingredients can be gotten from any

Sometimes see an old mans face
lose all its marks of care,
Away fade all the seamy lines that
time has furrow edthere.
His countenance is lighted up, as IL
by fires within;
And then know he's thinking of
the Land of Mighty-Have Been.
Now, If the thoughts of such land
can drive the care away
And brighten up the woebegone and
turn the grave to gay,
And smooth the ugly wrinkles out
from cen the sternest face,
Pm sure the Land of Mighty-Have
Been must be a pleasant place.

RAILROAD NOTES.

General Passenger Agent, George A !.
Cullen, of the Lackawanna Railroad,
has stated that the report concern
ing the alleged intention of that COM
pany TO operate its trains from Hobo
ken without respect to boat connec-
tions was erroneous and that no
change in the present arrangement,
whereby trains in all cases await the
arrival of their scheduled boats from
New York, is contemplated. Mr.. Gull
len states that it is understood that
this report originated a few days ago
at an informal talk which Superin-
tendent Ketcham made at a private
house in East Orange and was not in
tended to express the intention of the
company, but was merely suggestion
as to how the movement of suburban
trains could be facilitated, SO far as the
rail portion of the haul was con-
cerned. and was not in any sense a
statement that such plan was to be
adopted, Mr. Cullen adds that the
company regards its Eastern terminus
as the City of New York, and it's re-
cent improvements in the completion
of new line to 23rd Street. and an
unusually handsome station there, is
the best evidence Of its purpose &c
continue to assume responsibility ol
through service of its patrons from
New York City to destination.

THROUGH the courtesy OF Mrs Cauld-
well, president Of the Civic Associa-
tion, we are enabled to publish a COM
municationi from H. A. Griskold in
relation to the fire rates of Morris
town. It is worthy OF !the careful
study of every property owner and the
suggestions made should be embodied
in an ordinance by the board of alder
men and immediate steps taken to
put the business portion of the town
in reasonably safe condition. The
indifference of single individuals
should not be allowed to jeopardise
an entire block as is now frequently
tile case. There are places on the
Green where stores have fine and
well-kept front, while the rear is a
veritable finder box from the collec
zion of paper, packing cases and rub
bish which simply invite incendiar-
ism. The writer has on more than
one occasion extinguished fires in rub
bish back Of store, started by mis-
chievous boys within few feet of a
gasolene tank, and complaint to the
owners and town officials was evident
ly regarded as meddling with other
peoples affairs, and we are told by in
surance agents that the occupants OF
property. while complaining OF the in
crease in insurance rates will not
clean up the yards and remove intiam-
able rubbish from cellars The
Washington street fire started in an
old building neglected by the owner
and occupied by an irresponsible squat
ter. Let the board Of alderman get
busy in this matter and have the town
cleaned up and save us all more or less

The Sussex county Board of Free
holders have adopted a new plan for
taking care of their macadam roads
and as that seems to be very impor-
ant feature In our county road system
it might be worth looking into. They
have purchased a ten-ton steam roller
and a portable stone crnsher at a COM
bined cost Of SO, 935. This machinery
6hey propose to use primarily for the
keeping OF the macadam roads in re-
pair, but when not in use the roller
will be hired out to the different
townships for use ON roads. The
steam roller was profitable invest
ment for MorriStown.

STATE CONTROLLER j. WILLARD
MORGAN has appointed William E.
Drake, of Orange, to the position of
State Auditor. Mr.. Drake held the
office for several years and last year
resigned The Office has been vacant
since. There was a fight over the APP
pointment originally. Drake was an
Assemblyman from Hudson when
Sewell and Murphy were rival Repub-
lican candidates for United States
Senator some years ago. Drake bolted
the caucus for Sewell and voted for
Murphy When the latter was Gov
ernor he requested Morgan to name
Drake for State Auditor. The Comp
troller did so under protest. Secre-
tary Of State Dickinson fought the APP
pointmont to the end. This time
Drake was named with the endorse
ment of both Morgan and Dickinson.
sTbe salary Of State Auditor is $4,000
a year.

NEW JERSEY AND COOP ROADS.

At the convention Of the American
Roadmakers, held at Pittsburg, a pa
per was read by Road Commissioner
Hutchinson, of New Jersey, which is
attracting widespread attention, and
receiving most fattering comments
from press and people who are taking
an interest in the betterment of the
conditions of highways throughout
the country New Jersey is entitled
to the honor of being the pioneer
among the Commonwealth of the
Nation in the "good roads" move
ment, the Legislature having, in 1891,
enacted the first State aid law. The
original appropriation was only $780,
600, but it was the acorn from which
sprang the mighty oak of the good
roads" systems of New Jersey, which
is the admiration of the entire coun-
try New Jersey to-day has l,l5l
miles of superior roads constructed at
a cost of Sc, 655. 939. In the course of
his remarks Mr.. Hutchinson very apt
ly said that the best argument for
good roads is good roads, which is an
argument that had been aoundantly
verified in New Jersey. Commissioners
Hutchinson spoke truthfully when he
said that the State aid law had done
more for New Jersey than any other
statute that the improvement of one
thoroughfare had resulted in an in
crease of property values amounting
to more than 100000, and farms
about to be abandoned now command
high prices

VhOAl lobOWIlS ~ -
Dear Sir
Answering your query as to the in
Surance rates in MOrrlSt own, | beg to
say, that a considerable number of
prOperty-hOlders are lettering their
risks as far as possible by the adoption
of recommendation issuing from the
underwriters, and by such adoption
are securing reductions in rate, which
in some instance are as low, if not
lower, than the old rates which OBJ
tanned ten years ago. 1t would seem
to me that any man would see the adj
visibility and business sense in pro-
tecting his property as well as posi-
BILE, both in the risk itself and by Sc
curing insurance in reliable and sub
stantial companies at fair and ade-
Quate rate.
1t is interesting to note that there
is an average of perhaps fifty reduc-
tionS in rate for betterment promul-
gated semi-monGhly, and at the in
creased volume in which these changes
are coming before the Committee /
anticipate that nearly all of the mer-
camille risks of MOrriStown will be en-
joying much lower rates at the end of
the year than those prevailing now.
The fire of Saturday night, it would
seem to me, is a justification of the
increase in rates in the town, and
should illustrate the liability of the
spreading Of fire due to high winds,
Single roofs and the like. The Fire
Department is TO be commended for
their cool head work, and the good
judgement and fearlessness displayed
on the part of the members is well
worthy of note. Had it net been for
the brains behind the hose the loss TO
dwelling houses and other buildings
would have been very much greater.
The time is now ripe for the town TO
rigidly enforce its buildilg laws, and
to provide building inspector with
full power to see that the ordinances
are lived up to, and that the care of
rubbish and other inflammible mater
ial is in accordance with proper usage
1t would also seem desirable that the
construction of new buildings be made
to comply as far as possible with the
requirements of the underwriters
You no doubt know that the National
Building Code which has been adopted
in large territory, provides for con-
dItionS in buildings which preclude
the possibility of making charges for
constructions and eliminate as far as
possible the charges for exposures 1t
is exposure that carried the fire from
the point of origin TO the various
buildings which were consumed on
Saturday night.
L trust that the members of the
Civic Association who are interested
in the question of insurance and in
surance rates will give the matter fair
beg TO remain,
Very truly yours,
I'll. e. GRIswoLD.

of rates can be obtained from local
