Crippled Boy Saves Two Lives.

Joseph Gilligan, crippled boy OF
about fifteen years saved two smaller
boys, Augustus Monahan and Alexan-
der Patterson, aged about ten, from
the pond at the gravel pit at Morris
Plains on Friday. Gilligan lost parts
of two legs, portion of one arm and
three fingers from his remaining hand
in a trolley accident in Brooklyn some
years ago, but despite his condition
astonishes all who see him by his agil-
ity. He was swimming in the pond
on Friday while the two smaller boys
were rowing in fiat bottom boat.
The boat upset throwing both occu-
pants out and Gilligan Immediately
sprang into the water brought both
little fellows to land, using the stump
of his arm in the work.

Employment for idle People.
To THE EDITOR:
Permit me to give few hints and
suggestions on the matter of a manu-
featuring plant to be started in Nor
ristown
A good chance is now offered to this
town to establish a plant for the man
ufacturing Of certain silk articles
which are of great demand in the
market the year round. The capital
required for the necessary machine
ries, raw material and working capital
in all amounts to $4,000.
Without additional capital the pro
duciDg capacity Of the plant can be
doubled in every year until several
hundred hands could be employed.
The work is clean, and no undesirable
buildings with smoke-stacks or. whis-
ties are needed to perform it.
1t can be done noiselessly in some
isolated part of the town.
a responsible wholesale firm located
| in New York City, thoroughly under
| standing the manufacturing Of the
article will have a twenty-five per
cent. interest in the plant, if started,
and will also buy outright all the pro
| duct OF the plant as soon as finished
| the year round. This firm guarantees
net profit of from % to IS per cent.
on every dollar invested in the plant.
AS to the land and necessary build
ings there is already public spirited
citizen who will put them up at his
Lon ,alxr
| nal rent for their use.
There is at present in this country a
big firm manufacturing these articles
which spends one hundred thousand
dollars for advertising every year, hav-
| ing space in almost every newspaper
and magazine of the United States.
If firm spends that much money
every year on trademark, then there
must be money in it. The article can
be manufactured by anyone, but sold
under different trademark, which
can be easily done.
| A little activity on the part of the
citizens of the town would start the
ball rolling. We need some sort OF
manufacturing plant here in town il
for nothing else at least we need it for
the minimizing of pauperiSm and vice.
| We all know that in most cases idle.
ness is the cause of vice.
And then there is also our business
men to be considered who just now are
nailed fast to the wall without any
prospect of relief in sight. And also
for our deserving widows and orphans
who have to depend on the mercy OF
others for their living.
1t is standing disgrace to the towr
to have its charitable institutions, i'll.
Guiding the county Jail, crowded the
year round, certainly more than tt
have clean manufacturing plant thai
would give the needy ones the oppor
tunity of earning an honest living.
