rushed half clad from his home on
Mills street to Eugene Carrell's store.
The man is in the employ of Mr.. Car
rell. AS he ran past Mills street and
Sussex avenue he shouted to Patrol
man Meslar, who was nearby, that
there was fire and the officer directed
him to the fire alarm box on the COR

however, and he continued his run
down Sussex and Speedwell avenues.

LAUENSTEIN'S STABLES BURNED

Firemen Have a Five Hours Battle
With the Flames on Christmas.
Fire on Christmas morning swept
through the upper story of William
A. Lauenstein's livery stable on Mar
ket street and damaged the building
and contents to the extent of 800, ,000.f
Clifford s. Belby, whose warehouse. ad-
joins the stable, will lose about 1000
in stock damaged by smoke and water.
Both the properties were insured.
The fire started at nine-thirty and
the firemen worked for five hours be-
fore it was extinguished Starting in
the hay NOV in one end of the build
ing the flames crept through the en-
tire upper story and the covering Of
copper and tin on the roof and sides
made the fire very hard to get at.
Many tons of hay straw, feed, etc,
we're destroyed together with many
carriages and sleighs stored on the
second floor as well as robes, blankets
and liveries.
All of Mr.. Lauenstein's horses were
got out in safety as wen as the car
riages on the first floor Mr.. Lauen-
STEMS two tenants, Patsy Digore, shoe
maker, and Linn June, laundry, also
suffered slight losses from smoke and
water.
Mr.. Lauenstein will rebuild the
building as soon as the insurance is
adjusted. At present he is located
temporarily in the Farmers hotel
stables across the street from his old
location.
The stable burned was erected back
in 1S43 by William Gibbons, Of Madi-
son, in connection with the old Nor
ris county house afterwards called the
New Jersey hotel which stood at the
corner of Market street and the park.
The hotel was built at a time when
Morristown was noted for its health
fulness and invalids flocked here for
its benefits. Both the hotel and the
stable were of brick with copper roofs
and cost S200,0O0 The hotel was
burned in 1916 at time when it was
filed with guests, butone lost his life,
a Mr.. Bailey. The stables we're saved
and in 1858 were purchased by the late
William Lauenstein, and conducted
by him for twenty-five years, he being
succeeded by his son, William A.
Lauenstein, who also conducted them
for a quarter century.

OBITUARY.
CHARLES W. WHITNEY.

Charles w. Whitney, who was a
friend of Herbert Spencer and who al
SO built the Keokuk, an nironclad vessel
which led the federal naval." .",attack on
Fort Sumter in April, 1868, died Fri
day at the residence Of his sister, Mrs.
Fleming Popham, in Kinderhook, N 7.
Y, at The age Of seyenty-seven years.
Mr. Whitney's death was caused by
inflammatory rheumatism.
Mr.. whitney was born in New York
city, and two years before the civil
war he became New York manager for
Horace Abbott & Son, iron manufac-
turers, of Baltimore. He was friend
of Ericsson, who designed the Monitor,
and he himself designed and built the
Keokuk, which differed from the Moni-
tor in that on the Keokuk three H.
inch bore guns of the Dahlgren type
which were in each of the two turrets
on the vessel revolyed, while on the
Monitor the turret itself reyolyed.
The Keokuk was launched at East
river and Eleventh street in Decem-
ber, 1862, and in April of the next year
it figured in the attack on Fort Sum
ter. The Keokuk was struck during
that engagement and sank the next
day in Charleston harbor. The .Keo-
kuk because of its speed, ten miles an
hour, and it's armor, which was five
and one-half inches thick, was one Of
the wonders Of naval architecture of
the time in which it existed.
After the war Mr.. Whitney with
Henry Ward Beecher, DR.. Lyman Alb
bott, Richard Henry Manning and
others took up the philosophy of Her
bert Spencer. At a time when it
seemed that through lack Of funds
Mr.. Spencer would be forced to aban-
don the publication of his books the
group of which Mr.. Whitney was a
member offered TO defray the expenses
of publication. When Herbert Spen-
Ger visited New York, in 1882, and
Henry Ward Beecher welcomed him
at a banquet at Delmonico'S Mr.
Whitney was member of the recep-
tion committee.
He retired from business ten years
ago and moved from Flushing to Kin
derhook. His sister, Mrs. Popham,
and brother, Alfred R. Whitney, Of
Morristown, survive him.

COUNTY CANDIDATES
IN DEMOCRATIC RALLY
They Encountered no Hostility at the
City Hall Plaza Last Night.

A fair sized and a fairly warm
warm crowd attended the rally of the
democratic county and precinct can
didates at the city hall plaza last
night The ceremony was preceded
by an expenditure of red fire which
made people at a distance think the
town was ablaze
The principal speaker of the even
ing was naturally George Purdy Bull
lard, who spoke in behalf of the coun-
ty candidates, in behalf of the terri
torial delegate for congress and in be-
half of William Jennings Bryan him
self. on the subject of statehood MI
Billiard offered what might easily be
construed TO be an argument in favor
of Ralph Cameron. He recounted the
hostility of the republican majority in
congress to statehood, from. which 1t
might be supposed that democrat
victory would make it less hostile.
But Mr.. Billiard took the high ground
that no statehood at all was better
than entering upon it under a mantle
of hypocrisy The main thing was
the election of Mark Smith. If Ari-
IONA could not have statehood and
Mark Smith too, let statehood go.
Frank DeSouza bloomed forth as an
impassioned orator and a prophet. He
informed the audience that the entire
democratic ticket was going to be
elected from councilman to constable.
There were no strings on that state
ment. Mr.. DeSouza neither suffered
nor blushed when he made it, Other
speakers were Messrs Woolf, Sam +.
Webb, Capt Parker and T. T. Powers.
In fact, all of the candidates made
modest little speeches, at which the
crowd took no Offense, though one man
in the rear demanded an expression of
confidence in Governor Cummins of
Iowa and a Herzegovinian minor who
was present was on the point request
ing a recognition Of the independence
of Bulgaria, when the meeting was
adjourned.
The democratic candidates will be at
Glendale tonight.

Let Some NJ. c. Explain II.

Comrade A. Minniear, 1851 Cissna
avenue, Kansas City, Kan, writes: Are
not the widows of soldiers of the war
against rebellion, 1S61-65, as much en-
titled to pensions as widows of those
who served in the War with Mexico ?
The most unjust provision ever enacted
into law by the United States is the
me-of-marriage limit to the law of
1890, and the present laws providing
for pensions for civil war veterans
widows. My present wife is my second
wife, but would not be pensonable If
l leave her a widow. Her father was a
soldier, killed at Champion Hill, in bat
tie, defending the United States Gov
ernment She tolls, endures, suffers
for me and cares for me with all the
devotion that any wife could for any
husband. Where is the justice in the
law that denies her equal right with
the widow who became a wife a few
months sooner, with no other alleged
reason for the discrimination?

Editor National Tribune: I have been

Tribune ever since its first establish
ment. Therefore, T am inclined to think
that 1 ought to have the privilege of
blowing my own bugle thru the columns
of the best general newspaper pub
lished in America.
In The National Tribune of Jan. 80 I
saw an article contributed by Isabel
Worrell Ball, outlining the views and
policies to be used by Commissioner
Leupp in dealing with the Indian prob
lem. After reading the article referred
to (Which, by the way, contains COM
mendable features, and shows that the
honorable Commissioner must have
been in persona! contact with the In
dians, and has had practical experience
in dealing with them at their camps
and places of abode on the different
reservations, probably more than any
Of his predecessors), reminds me that
I. too, have had considerable experience
with Indians of various tribes, and from
my personal contact with them, old and
young, both in the field and school SER
vice, which has enabled me to form
something like correct idea as to the
proper course to pursue in our efforts
to bring about the desired results, viz,
the civilization Of the Indians and ulti-
mately placing them in position where

take it for granted that a comparison
of notes from those who have had the
most experience in dealing with the In
dams lin the field service, especially
will be of some interest to the public,
and especially to those who are en-
gagged in the service. If it be the OBJ
ject of our Government to train and
educate the Indian up to the standard
of a modern American citizen, be he in
descent an Englishman, Irishman, Ger
