GOODBYE TO AN ELoCUTIoNIST

Miss Bessie Campbell after Various
Misadventures Languishes in Jail.
The following from the Washington
Star will remind Morristown residents
of the visit of the individual referred
to in Morristown some years back.
Here she gave an entertainment, but
evidently has concluded that such ex-
pense is unnecessary for her schemes
Turning back the pages Of the no
tel registers of this town we find the
bold, flowing signature ofB. Campbell
Of New York a signature as mannish
as that of cigar drummer. This dis
tinguished guest was in Washington
about six months ago. Her business
cards read: Miss Bessie Campbell, ell
ocutionist.'
We smile yet when we think of how
Bessie cut up while here, She called
for fancy cocktails, the llike of which
the local bartenders han never heard
AS appetizers she put away a few whis-
kies straight.
"She had nice duds though. and
looked presentable when she appeared
on the streets, barring some hard
drawn lines down the cheeks suggest
i've of dissipation.
Naturally, therefore, with her brill
fancy OF speech, she had little trouble
in getting the business folks around
here to take advertising space upon a
program that was supposed to be a
forerunner of society entertainment
she had under way. She got the money
in advance in most cases, and as the
time approached for the entertain
ment she announced there would be a
postponement owing to the illness of
one of her New York artists.
"Then she would HE to Strouds-
burg, work the same game there, and
then dig for Bangor; thence ON and on
to fresh fields and more easy money.
Bessie's lamp went out suddenly
last Saturday. She was over in West
Chester, Pa, just after cleaning up
handsomely in the village of Olney,
near by. Officers of the law nabbed
her and she was put in jail TO answer
charges of defrauding certain mer-
chants in Olney. The magistrate told
her he would let her go if she would
furnish bail in the sum of 5000 for her
appearance at trial. She didn't have
either money or friends, SO the officers
took her to Moyamensing prison"

A GREAT RUSH FOR DIVORCES
Many nI-Msted Couples seeking to be
Freed from the Matrimonial Yoke

Many uI-Msted Couples seeking to be
Freed from the Matrimonial Yoke
Prompted by the recently enacted
law governing divorces, which, when
it becomes operative, January l, 1908,
will place a barrier, to certain ex-
tent, on legal separation, and require
at least one years time in which to be
freed from the marital vow, as com
pared to four months as now, the di-
vorce branch of the State courts is re-
ceiying a perfect duluge of applica-
tionS.
Since January Of the present year
700 applications for divorce have been
filed ia the court of chancery. During
the whole of the preceding twelve
months of 1906 there were 1905 petit
tions filed, and out OF that number
571 DEGREES of absolute divorce were
granted.
The former law under which di-
vorces we're granted in New jersey
was decided too lax. and the recently
enacted measure makes the annulment
of the marriage VOW on a sort OF pro-
baton plan, similar to the admittance
OF members into religious organiza-
tions.
Following the taking of testimony,
if the same is favorable to the petit
tioner, a decree nisi is granted. Ii, at
the expiration of six months there is
no proceeding for review or other liti-
CATION pending, the decree is made abb
solute, but the parties interested are
not allowed to remarry during the six
months intervening between the en-
tering of the decree nisi and the filing
of the absolute decree.
OF the total number of DEGREES of alb
solute divorce granted in 1906, Boon
ton had 2; Dover, 2; Morristown, s,
and Schooley's Mountain, l.
The number of divorces granted each
year from 1890 to 1905 inclusive follow:
1890, 2s8; 1891, 3lS; 1892, 346; 1898,
3es; 1894, 37S; 1895, 397 1896, 800
1897. 372; 1898, 449; 1899, 457; 1900,
5l2; 1901, SOP; 1902, 52l; 1908, $50;
1904, $50; 1905, 629.
Intemperance has resulted in many
divorce cases in New Jersey. Thou
sands of petitions filed in the court OF
chancery show that the grounds for
seeking a decree was the direct or in
direct result of intemperance. DeSer-
tion is due in many instances to the
evil of er-indulgence in intoxicants,
whether by the wife or husband.

TROLLEY NOTES.

The work of eXcavating and grading
for the trolley tracks along Park ave
nue. in East Summit is being consider
ably impeded by bed of trap rock
which has been encountered between
Denman place and the Railway Valley
Railroad station. Blasting has been
resorted to in the removal Of the rock,
and this, together with the delay ne
cessitated by the Institution of court
proceedings by the company in its eff
forts to secure rights OF way through
two or three pieces of property and the
removal of several houses, win pre-
clude the operation Of the trolley to
the center of the city until we'll along
in the winter months.
1t is reported that the Morris Coun-
ty Traction Co. is considering. a new
plan to reach Denyille coming down
the opposite side of the road from what
was intended. The company has COM
menced to lay rails on Division street,
Boonton, to the hat factory and has
suspended operation at West Boonton.
The Easton- Washington trolley line
is now in operation to the fire proofng
works below Port Murray, and cars
will run through to the village this
week. The officers of the Company
announce that there will be no delay
in extending the line into Hacketts-
town, and from this point to Lake Ho-
patcOng.
The cars are now running to the end
Of the line at the Sickle farm on the
Denville road.

CHILDS TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Former state senator willing to Ac-
cepr the Democratic Nomination.

Former state senator willing to Ac-
cept the Democratic Nomination.
In response to requests from inde-
pendent Democrats of his own and
other counties, Samuel Shannon
Childs, former State Senator from
Somerset county, has announced that
he would permit the use of his name
as candidate for the Democratic guber-
material nomination and would accept
the nomination if it was offered to him
by the State convention under certain
conditions. These conditions provide
that the extension of the nomination
is to leave him free from any and all
boss rule and corporation entangle-
ments: that the platform adopted by
the convention must be one which
fairly and frankly meets current live
issues, and that he will not make any
pledges concerning appointments, or
his official conduct that will prevent
him, in case of his nomination and
election, from giving the State an hon
est, square, business administration.
Mr.. Childs is now preparing letter
that will be sent in a day or two to the
chairman Of the Somerset County
Democratic Committee, which recently
indorsed him for the nomination. In
this letter he will formally announce
his attitude concerning the nomina-
tion along the lines above stated.

A Curious Circumstance.

DR.. G. L. johnson had peculiar eX-
perience on Saturday night. He went
home and on entering the house tried
to turn on the electric lights but found
that they would not work. He noticed
a smell of smoke but as he had been
smoking thought it came from that.
AS it was bed time he went up to his
room and banished all thoughts Of
possible danger In the morning he
went into his office to answer ring OF
the bell and in going from one room to
the other noticed some fragments
which looked like burned paper Look
ing up to the ceiling he found that the
ceiling had been burned for some in
cheS out from the chandelier 1t is
supposed that lightning struck near
the house ran down the wires inside
and set fire to the wood about the
chandelier but from absence of draught
the fire had gone out.
