SEWER NOTES.

The Ogden place deep ditch still con-
tinues, the gang making better prog
ress now as the summit has been pass
ed and as the grade of the street con-
stantly drops away, the cut becomes
much shallower.
On Albeit avenue the wet condi-
tions retard the work greatly and only
a few feet of the tile are laid in day.
In, excavating for the sewers on
South street few portions of the old
bored log water pipes were found and
also near Pine street two house con-
nections made of a three inch tile with
a one inch hole for the water, and with
bells to make good joints. The joints
were all carefully cemented. For a
long distance a layer of brick was
struck some feet under the present
surface which it is supposed were
hauled from the old New Jersey Hotel
and spread on the street for better
road. The excavation showed plainly
the old street level which at Pine
street has been raised about seven
feet. Old residents tell us that at one
time wagon disappeared from view
at Pine street as the observer looked
down the street from the Park.
The work on Ann street is about fin
ished and the ditch on Bank street has
progressed as far as McCollum' S stable.

OBJECT LESSONS In EDUCATION.
There is More In the Man than There
is in the Training.

There is More In the Man than There
is in the Training.
Three Or four years ago there came
to this town from England young
man with desire to better his con-
dition. He stopped for time with ].
X. Boniface, a relative, who saw that
he had natural bent for drawing and
advised him to take course IL cor
respondence school which he did at a
small expense. He secured a position
at six dollars week and in all his
spare time worked at his drawing with
the result of slow advancement in his
position. A short time ago his work
came to the notice of railroad official
who sent for him and rendered him
position at $175 a month and palace
car transportation for himself and wife
to the Pacific coast, (which he accepted
and is making good.
During the period this young man
was developing himself score or so
of young fellows in Morristown, many
of them at a great sacrifice to their
parents, enjoyed the advantages of the
high school at cost to the public OF
several thousand dollars, supplement-
ed withsmoral and physical training at
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion building, also largely at public
expense, and were duly gra 1uated from
the high school. A few of these young
men are quietly working with the
! help of private tutors to tit themselves
| for technical schools and colleges, but
! the greater number seem to consider
it duty to pose before the public as
specimens of its generosity and can
| be seen more or less numerouSly days
and evenings standing around on the
sidewalks, a little better dressed than
the average street loafer, and by clouds
of smoke and loud attempt at witicism
call attention to themselves. But to
see these fellows in all their glory take
stroll in the vicinity OF the Y. M. q.
A. building when people are going to
and from Church and Sunday School,
the exhibition is worth going out Of
your way to see.
OF course, the people of the town are
pleased with these evidences OF appre-
citation and doubtless this will crafty
! these young men wnen in later life,
| plodding alor & below the mediocre,
they become confirmed knockers and
| knock about the success OF the plod-
ders, knock about their hard luck,
knock about their lack of appreciation
and everything else but their own lack
| OF good common sense.

A Correction.
,D1ToR OF THE CHRONICLE !:

EDITOR OF The CHRONICLE:
Dear SIR Il am sure your valuable
paper does not Intentionally misstate
facts, and therefore ask the privilege
of correcting a recent error therein.
In an editorial last week upon my po-
sition regarding the Burke-Buxton az
fair, you state that l am Democrat,
thereby intimating that this accounts
for my opposition to Mr.. Buxton. |
assure you that if / were Democrat
/ should not be ashamed to acknowl-
edge it; but inasmuch as | am neither
Democrat ncr Republican, but merely
an independent citizen who tries to
form his opinions without respect to
any party Affiliations and to vote &C
cording to honest conviction, l think
it only fair that you should state the
facts as they are, and therefore re-
spectfully request you to publish this
letter. Sincerely,
OLIVER G. HoRsMAN.

TWENTY ONE GREAT COLLEGES

Than 5000 students Each.

Nineteen With an Enrolment of More
Than 1900 Students Each.
The twenty-one American colleges
which lead in the number of students
enrolled are; Harvard, 5,343; Valparaiso
5,141; Chicago, 5,079; Michigan, 4, 800:
Columbia, 4,643; Illinois, 1900; Mime
sofa, 4,o25; College Of the City Of New
York, 1906: Northwestern, 1888; Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, 1858; Pratt

College, 3,l07; California, 3,O05; Syra-
cuse, 1904: Nebraska, 2,914; and Mis-
sissippi. 2,4O0
The surprising fact revealed by these
figures, says "Town and Country y, is
that colleges and universities by no
means generally known have attained
the magnitude of great universities in
the last few years. Valparaiso Uni
versity, which stands next to Harvard
in the number of students, is a nom
sectarian and co-educational institu-
tion located at Valparaiso, Ind.
1T was founded in 1878 and has 155
instructors and library Of 12,CoO
volumes. Its president is Henry B.
Brown, A. M.
Temple College is an undenomina-
tional and coeducational institution
located in Philadelphia. 1t was
founded in 1884.
This also has 155 instructors; its Ii
brary numbers 5000 volumes; its presi-
dent is Russell H. Conwell, d. d., LII
d. On the other hand, Princeton
and Johns Hopkins, widely known
throughout the world for their his
torical records and advanced educa-
tional methods, number, in the case
of the former, 1907 students and in
the latter only 600 students.
Il will be surprise to many resi-
dents, even in New York. to learn that
Pratt Institute in Brooklyn stands
eleventh in size among the educational
institutions of the United States.
But the table shows, perhaps more
emphatically than anything else, the
great growth of the universities of our
Western States and the wide distribu-
tion of educational advance through
out the country.

A HEROIC ACTION.
Harris Domb Nearly Loses His Life

Harris Domb Nearly Loses His Life
saving Children.
Harris Domb, a former resident of
Morristown, played the hero in Brook
lyn, last Saturday, when fire started
in the fye-story apartment house at
235s Moore street, Williamsburg, and
in trying to save two children Domb,
who keeps a saloon at 233 Moore street,
nearly lost his own life. The blaze
started from a lighted candle in the
apartments of Jacob Rodberg. on the
second floor. Mrs. Rodberg had gone
out to do some shopping for the Jew
ish holidays, leaving behind her eight
year-old daughter, Mollie, to look after
the two younger girls, Sarah and Bes-
sic, and 4 years DID, Mrs. Rodberg
left several candles burning, in honor
of the holidays. After she had gone
Mollie accidently upset lighted can
die, which set fire to curtain and
spread all over the rooms. Domb, who
was on the street, heard that two chill
dren were left in the burning house,
and he started for the Rodberg apart
ments. All the rooms were filled with
smoke. When he entered, the kitchen
door, which had a spring lock, closed
behind him. He discovered this when
he tried to get out with the two small
girls, who were semi-conscious.
A few minutes later Policemen Ros-
enthal and Deeler of the Stage Street
Police Station kicked in the kitchen
door and found Domb, with the two
children clasped in his arms, lying UNI
conscious on the floor. They were car
ried to the street and revived. The
fire did little damage.
