In MemorIam q Dr.. Fox.

The Executive Committee of the
Friday Evening Club desires to put on
record its sense Of great loss in the
recent widely lamented death of their
late associate. the Rev. Norman Fox,
d. d., and to express their sincere APP
probation Of his valued services to
the community as the Founder and
First President of the Club.
From the social gathering held at
his hospitable home in March, 1900, at
which he suggested the formation of
the Club, through all the early stages
of its organization which he carefully
planned, DIR. Fox watched over it's in
terests with the utmost care and was
the guiding spirit in it's affairs.
On March 9th, 1900, DR.. Fox was
chosen by the Executive Committee
to be the President of the Club for one
year, and he was twice reelected to
this office. Under the constitution of
the Club, which he himself prepared,
members of the Executive Committee
having served for three years are in
eligible for Office for one year. The
following year DR.. Fox was reelected
a member of the Executive Committee
and was at once chosen President of
the Club, continuing in that office till
he resigned in October, 1906.
~ ~ Il
in public matters and from his wide
acquaintance and varied connections
with men and affairs he was able to
bring to Morristown and to secure for
the meetings of the Club an unusual
number OF able and interesting speak
ers. He made of the Friday Evening
Club an important educational factor
in the life of the community and he
devoted time and effort in a most I'M
selfish manner to furthering the in
terests of it's work.
The Committee take pleasure in
bearing testimony to the great value
of his public spirited services in this
as in many other ways and to the eff
cheney of his varied efforts for the
public good.

struck by an Automobile.


Arthur Losey, a motorman en-
ployed by the Morris County Traction
Company, was struck by an automo-
bile as he stepped from trolley car in
front OF his home on East Blackwell
street, Dover, Monday last, and now is
in precarious condition in All Souls
Hospital. Losey was going off duty
and rode up from the car barns on a
car. When he reached his home he
swung off as the car slowed up, not
noticing the machine behind him. He
was struck by a wheel guard and
knocked down. The machine then
passed over him. The automobile is
owned by Edward Kelley, superin-
tendent of the Wharton furnaces, and
was driven by his stepson, Thomas j.
Conlan. Conlon got Losey into the
automobile and took him to the office
of DR.. Cook, who, finding him to be
seriously injured, ordered him sent to
a hospital. Conlan says that he was
within sixty feet of the trolley car
when Lo4ey jumped off in front of his
machine, and he had no time to turn
out or even to sound a warning.

Senatorial Caucus Declines to Make
Any Concessions.
Albany, N. Y, July 23.-n Speaker
Wadsworth had hoped for any encour-
agement in his apportionment fight
from the proceedings Of the senate eau
Gus the result was a great disappoint-
ment to him The Republican senators
by vote of "a to 8 declined to make
any concession. The Human bill,
which Is the amended form Of the Tul-
ly apportionment plan, was adopted by
the caucus as a Republican party
measure, and it and no other appor-
tionment bill will be passed by the SEN
ate.
Wadsworth and the assembly will
have the alternative of accepting 1t or
adjourning without making a reap
portionment, which would have the eff
feet of forcing the election of assem-
blymen this fall on the old apportion-
ment lines of 1895. Percy Hooker Of
Genesee, Wadsworth's own senator,
deserted him in the caucus and was
one of those who voted to make the
Human bin a party measure. Agnew
of New York, after moving to substi-
tute the assembly plan, fell into line
like Hooker for the Hinman bill.

Around the world IN Forty pays.


The prophetic and lively magma
ton of the late Jules Verne recorded
one of its most daring fights, when
he wrote that entertaining work,
g Around the World in Eighty Days !;
and it is probable that none of US who
read its chapters supposed that he
would live to see the day when the
Frenchman's estimate Of eighty days
would be cut in half by an enterpris-
/ ing officer Of the British army, who
set out to test the speed of modern
around-the- eartn travel for himself.
In recent letter to the London
Times Lieut.. Col. Burnley Campbell
wrote that he landed at Dover on the
18th of June at the completion of a
trip around the world which occupied
forty days and nineteen and one-half
hours. He left Liverpool on May 3 at
7.20 p. M, reached Quebec ats p. M,
May 10, and was at Vancouver on the
Pacific coast at a. M, on May Is.
Leaving. there about noon Of the same
day, he reached Yokohama on May 20,
Tsuruga on May %, and leaving there
by steamer at 6 p. M, he reached Via
livestock May 30. Here. after wait
of about four hours, he took a Trans
Siberian train, reaching Hardin on
May 81, Irkutsk on June 4, Moscow on
