vital Statistics of MorrIstown.

A study of the vital statistics of the
town is interesting, particularly when
on every hand you hear people remark
ing about the unhealthy weather.
The statistics somehow do not bear
out the assertion. In 1906 there were
1853 births, 50 marriages and 256 deaths,
as compared with POI births, 102 mar
riages and 24l deaths in 1905 and l59
births, los marriages and 222 deaths
for 1904. The figures for 1903 were LAT
births, 75 marriages and 223 deaths.
BY months for 1906 the figures for
deaths were January, 1S; February,
II; March, Is: April, Is; May, 25 ;
June, 27; July, 10; August, %; Sep
tember, 81; October, IL; November,
%; December, IS. The December fig
ures for four years back were is. 20,
II and IS, while for November of the
same years they ran %, 26, Is and IT,.

there were prolonged cheering and
eyes were turned towards Mr.. Pitney
and as he arose to respond to the in
troductory address there followed
such an ovation as can scarcely be
described. There was cheer upon

menu cards and flowers in the air.
The demonstration lasted several
minutes, winding up with all singing

When quiet had been restored Mr..
Pitney rose and with great emotion
began his address.

Votes.

Gets Twenty-Seven Ont of Thirty-sfX
Votes.
United States Senator, John f.
Dryden was nominated to succeed
himself Monday, at a caucus of the
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture. He received twenty-seyen votes
out of total of thirty-six and there
we're eight absentees from the eau
Gus.
The Dryden forces feel certain of
final victory on Wednesday, when a
joint ballot of the legislative branches
will be held to decide whether Senator
Dryden shall continue to occupy his
seat in the Senate.
At the outset of the conference of
the legislators, which finally resolved
itself into the caucus, the Dryden
men were cheered by an opinion,
given by Attorney General McCarter,
that a majority quorum in joint Ses-
sion could elect. A quorum of both
houses would be AZ, and % would be a
majority. Mr.. Dryden's 27 votes
would be FIVE more than majority.
1t is understood Mr. McCarter quot

tanned, this view would make Mr
