POISONED IVY AND SUMACH.

How 20 Tell 1t and How to Cure the
Poison when Contracted.
Wide open eyes" are the only pre-
ventiye for poisoning by sumach and
poison ivy. Several prominent citi-
zens have suffered from ivy poison re-
Gently, as any clump of bushes in a
fence corner is liable to have poison
GUS plants growing in it. The Bridge
ton News has the following rules
which sojourners in rural places might
remember with profit:
-Four things need to be committed
to memory to insure safety against
our poison Snnlach:
"First-The poison Ivy has three
leaves.
Second The fve-leaved is harm
less.
"Third-The poison sumachs have
white berries.
"Fourth-No red-berried sumach is
poisonous.
"Then, by way of helping you, in
case you have difficulty to remember
which is which. whether the FIVE
leaved or the three-leaved is poisonous
there is the following jingle:
Berries red,
Have no dread;
Berries white,
Poisonous sight
Leaves three
Quickly Zee
LASTLY, justice to one kind of harm
less three-leaved sumach compels this
addition:
"Leayes three, with berries red,
Fragrant Sumach, have no dread. =
Most druggists are able to provide a
lotion, known in the country as lime
water and laudanum," that relieves
the suffering from this kind of poison
ing, though many find frequent hot
water applications sufficient, ant
Others get relief from a simple solu
tion of bicarbonate of soda, but ONT
mans meat is another mans poison
and it is better where possible, to con
suit physician.

FORMER Judge Francis Child, of
Essex, is receiving considerable noUice
of late as possible Democratic nom
inee for the Governorship. He is wide
ly known in Morris County as he was
born and grown up here and common
ced the practice of law in Morristown.
He stands high at the bar and was for
merly Circuit Court Judge. He has no
desire for the nomination, it is said,
and would not accept it unless it could
be very plainly shown that it was his
duty to do so. He is certainly not a
candidate in any ordinary sense.

A SUCCESSFUL business man and cap
italist, former resident of Morris
town had a maxim THAI a million
dollars there is no greater coward on
earth than two million dollars. )" In
view of recent developments here he
might substitute political leaders =
for two million dollars" as a party
who had a page in his former history
that made him undesirable as d politi-
cal candidate was able to victimize a
number of financial institutions by
most clumsy forgeries and utter disre-
gard of business methods, largely on
his good reputation as citizen. 1t is
stated that one or more institutions
that refused Mr.. tanning accommoda-
tion incurred his i'll will and he neg
lected no opportunity to talk them
down. And the same treatment was
given to the political leaders who fore
saw defeat in his nomination and so
prevented it, since which time he has
posed as martyr to " ring rule" In
regard to MIR. Lanning's statement
that he had contributed literally for
campaign purposes; if he did it was
not to the Republican party as neith-
er the county nor local committees had
any knowledge of it.

PROGRESS OF LOCAL OPTION.

In 1888 the Republicans, being in the
majority in both houses of the Legis-
lature, passed a local option bill. 1t
gave to the respective counties the
right to say, by vote of the people,
whether LIQUOR could be sold within
their limits. 1t was home rule" but
with reference to whole counties, not
to any municipalities as such within
the counties. That same year the
Democrats, with the aid Of the Prohi-
bitionists, swept the State in cam
paign directed against the local option
law, and in 1889 the act was repealed.
That was nearly twenty years ago.
Since then not a Republican in the
Legislature has had the courage to in
troduce local option bill, and hardly
a Democrat would touch one. Senator
Childs, of Somerset, an independent
Democrat, introduced the Anti-Saloon
League s local option bill two years in
succession, and the third year, when
he came up for reelection, he was de-
feated. The local option issue killed
him with both Democrats and Repub-
licans.
What's the situation to-day? The
Democrats, particularly those OF Essex
county, seem determined to make local
option the issue. The very party that
fought it bitterly in 1888 and abolished
it in 1889 is now likely t. make it the
the slogan of the coming campaign,
the only difference being that munich
pal local option is substituted for coun-
ty local option. Home rule is very
strongly advocated now as the solution
of the liquor question, and the reason
is because the home rulers think they
have votes enough to abolish both the
/" bishops law" and the Sunday law.
The action Of the Newark Council
on Friday night last was exactly in
this line. The resolution adopted by
that body calls upon the Legislature
to pass law that will give to the peo-
pie of the municipalities the right to
exercise local option, either directly
by action of the voters at large or
their official representatives.
1t would be singular condition of
affairs indeed if in the coming cam
paign both the Republican and the
Democratic parties should declare for
local option. And this is by no means
The Republican leaders
realize the fact that they need all the |
help they can get and are already con-
Sidering with great earnestness the adj
Of Incorporating local op-1
tion in the State platform, in order to |
secure the support of the moral ele-
ments of the State. The Democrats,
On the other hand, want to make May
0r Haussling's demands and the New
lrk councils suggestion the keynote
Of the campaign. 1t is an exceedingly
interesting situation, particularly in
view of the Democratic party's bitter
opposition TO local option in 1888 and
every year since then, until the pres

JERSEY CROP REPORT.

Those who recall the discouraging
crop reports issued by the State Board
of Agriculture earlier in the season
will be interested in the latest report
of the board. The weather conditions
have been favorable, and the courage
of the farmers has risen steadily. The
really embarrassing feature of the
situation is due to the fact that the
hay, wheat and rye harvests have come
along so nearly together that farmers
have been unable to keep up with the
demands upon them. The result is
they have been obliged to neglect some
of their crops which have needed Gull
tivation. The department bulletin
sums up present conditions in part as
follows; 1.-THE outlook. however, is
favorable. Grain harvests are good.
Hay a good average. Corn is general
ly promising. Early potatoes are be-
low average. Later varieties at this
date look fine. Oats encouraging with
few exceptions. Nc general crop OF
tree fruits. Some localities report a
medium yield Of peaches and apples,
The maturity of crops so far has been
as much later as the spring was back
ward, and the probability is that late
maturing crops, although now back
ward, will have weather conditions
fayoring perfect growth

WHILE the decision handed down by
Justice Pitney, of the Court of Errors
and Appeals, sustaining as constitu-
tional the Duffield act for the taxation
of second-class railroad and canal prop
erty at local rates, seems to have been
generally discounted. it is no less mo-
mentous in its benefit to the taxing
districts of the State, to which are re-
leased between So, 900, 900 and 81, 000,0 900
of taxes held up pending the deter
mination of the test case. Jersey City,
where the property under dispute fOots
upan aggregate of something like $45,-
100000, is of course the principal ben
eficiary of this great legal victory, the
difference in favor of that city in the
taxes of 1905, the levy directly involv-
ed, being over 81, 200, 900. The opinion
sustains in almost every detail the
contentious made On behalf of the
State. The court holds that there is
no ground for the plea that the act
operates to deprive any person of prop
erty without due process of law. This
Is the second defeat of the railroads in
their warfare against increasing their
New jersey tax bills from $1,000 900 to
100000 year. The first case was
decided several weeks ago. This in
volved the taxing of main stem prop
erty at 81 so per 800.

ELECTRIC EVOLUTION
lcoNTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE. I

daughterof one of the original owners.
Frank j. Anderson succeeded Brown
and after his retirement Arthur Fl.
Lynch the present superintendent
took charge. e. j. Bowen now with
the Telephone Co. learned the line
work with the old electric light com
pany and was in charge of that depart
ment for long time.
The original incorporators retained
control for number Of years, then
Henry Hays was dominating spirit and
he disposed of the control to George
q. Frelinghuysen the price being re-
ported as $1,000 including the Boon
ton plant which had been put in by the
same parties and run by water power.
Mr.. Freljnghuysen sold toJ ames Smith,
Jr., and B. M. Stanley, the price being
reported at $3.50, 900 while they turned
the company then reorganized under
the name of the Morris County Elec-
trio Co. over to the United Electric
Company of N. j. for $3.50, 900 stock
and the same amount of bonds.
Some OF the argument against cleo
tricity looked at from this period seem
very amusing. Letters were even pro-
duced from experts condemning incan-
descent lamps for street lighting and
at that time Morristown had gas and
naptha for the street illumination.
In May, 1898, the company was Civ
en- the right to lay conduits in the
principal streets of the town, naming
them, the same to be laid inside Of
ten years. It is these conduits author
lied nine years ago that the company
is putting in now, except for a stretch
on South st. and Madison ave. laid
some years ago.
There is also another electric light
franchise around town somewhere,
that granted to the Babbitt Heat g.
Power Co. 1t will be remembered
that after the Babbitt building was
erected and under the management of
the late 0. FL. Babbitt a power plant
was located in the basement to light
and heat the building and run the
elevator. The lighting feature gradu-
ally grew and nearly all the stores in
the vicinity were lighted by Babbitt
light. Then pipes were laid in the
street to heat the Hoffman building.
Mr.. Babbitt then conceived the idea
OF running his power from the old gas
plant corner of Spring and Water SITS.
and secured franchise to run wires,
ETC., from there to the Babbitt build
ing, but not naming the route. The
franchise according to rumor is the
of the Morristown Gas Co. at
the present time. The company was
incorporated in February, 1899, by 0. !
HI. Babbitt, R. d. Foote and R. B
Moriarty to supply heat and power to
any and all parts of Morristown.
