FIGHTERS TO
GET Is CENTS
FOR YEARS WORK
South Orange Finds It Cannot
Afford to Give Some Men
More.
LADIES FIGURED ON
GETTING ALMOST SI2
Vouchers Made Out for Salaries
Are Recalled All of a
Sudden.

A big surprise was sprung on the
South Orange Village volunteer firemen
Saturday night. when at a special meet
ing of the Village Board of Trustees
it was announced that only eleven out
of the twenty-five members of the old
department are to be paid s12-the
usual custom at the end of each year
for their services. Some of the men
will receive as low as seventy-fve cents
for the work done by them at fires
during the year just ended.
The appropriation Of 5000 for fire
purposes made by the Village Board
for the year 1908 became exhausted
early last month, and at the December
meeting of the trustees a resolution
was adopted whereby the fremen were
to receive their usual s12 previous to
Christmas, providing that a surplus
was shown in any other general or con-
tingent account and could be trans
ferred.
Village Treasurer Frank Fenner said
he was unable to ascertain whether a
~ PAhS NAAolC0 III ally VI Lie OllicI az
counts until the first of the year.
After making up his accounts the
treasurer found a surplus, and at once
made out checks of s12 for each of the
volunteer firemen. The paying of the
checks were stopped on Saturday, how
ever. when Village Trustee John R.
Weeks, chairman of the fire committee,
read a resolution which was passed on
January 1, 1907, as follows:
BE it resolved. That the resolution
passed January /, 1906, in relation to
pay for volunteer firemen be amended
to read, annual payment to be made in
full to all firemen attending so per cent.
of alarms. Payment to fremen attend
proportion that such attendance bears
to number of alarms given each year
In accordance with the resolution, the
firemen were ordered paid the follow
ing amounts: George E. versoy, John
j. Farrell, Daniel Noonan, Thomas
Fitzsimmons, M. A. Fitzsimmons,
William Slattery, Cornelius P. Nolan,
Edmund Krebill, Patrick McCahery
Stephen Laughrin and c.. Frederick
Parry, s12. or the full amount: Joseph

Mr.. and Mrs. Van Schaick had gone

IRvNGTON WILL
CAUCUS TONIGHT
At MAYORS GALL
Several Positions in Municipal
Departments to Be Filled
TOmOrr0WW.
TO NAME SUCCESSOR
TO DAYTON @. MEEKER
Secretary of Board of Trade
May Be Chosen TO Fill His
Place.

Mayor William l.. Gloriux. of irving
ton. a called a caucus of the Board
OF Councilmen for tonight, for the pur-
pose of discussing the appointments to
be made at the first regular meeting. to
be held tomorrow night. For several
reasons the mayor has not as yet given
out the list of standing committees.
The most important of these commit
tees is that of finance. At the present
time the town is without a finance COM
mittee, as Warren T. Frey, the former
chairman and Frederick Dehnert have
retired from the board, and the other
member, Dayton o.. Meeker, who was
reelected at the recent lection, met with
a sudden death in Nutley in an auto
mobile accident about two weeks ago.
Mr.. Meeker's successor has not been
named as yet, Thomas Jones, a resident
of the former councilman's neighbour
hood, was mentioned for the place, but.
while several other names have peer
taken under consideration, it is more
than probable that Ackerson J. Stats,
the secretary of the Irvington Board of
Trade, will receive the appointment.
In that case, Mr.. Stats may be a
member of the finance committee, and
probably its chairman, as he is credited
with the ability to fulfill the duties of
that important position. Another i'm
portant appointment will be that of SUI
p~erintendent of public works. This po-
sition has been held by Moses O.. Badge
ley, but the Council recently created a
new office, that of superintendent of
sewers, and it is understood that Mr..
Badgeley will be transferred to this po-
sition, and a new man be placed at the
head of the streets and highways work.
For the latter position there have
peer few names mentioned. 1t is not
known that the Council has decided on
any specified salary for the position,
and no ordinance has been passed rela-
tive to that matter. 1t may be that
the superintendent of this work may
be remunerated on a per diem basis,
the same as in the old method. Jona-
than Waterfeld, the present sewer in
spector, has been prominently men,
toned for the place, and Edward
Gaddis is also an aspirant. The pres
ent recorder, w. Eugene Turton, VIII
undoubtedly be reappointed.
There will probably be no material
change in the other appointments, with
the exception of the police and fire
departments, where it is believed that
one or more additional members will
be added.
The only other important change that
may be made is that of town surveyor.
Edmund r. Halsey, of East Orange,
has held this position for a number
of years, but it is said that Isaac j.
Casey, jr., son Of Town Treasurer Isaac
J.. Casey, a young man, and a, native
of the town. is seeking the appoint
ment, and it is believed by many that
he will nave the support of a ma
jority of the Council.

DISCUSS PLAN
To GIVE ORANGE
LIGHTING PLANT
New England Society Talks of
Reasons for Failure to

COUNSEL TAKES RAP
AT c. c. ERMEU
Many Arguments Are Heard on
Both Sides of Question
at Meeting.

Municipal lighting problems of par
ticular interest to Orange at the pres
ent time. following an unsuccessful eff
fort to establish a street lighting svs-
tenn there, were discussed at length by
speakers at the meeting of the New
England Society of Orange Saturday
night. One of the features of the meet
ing was a conversational discussion be-
tween City Counsel William A. Lord,
of Orange. who fought the city's case
for establishment of a municipal plant,
and Engineer Cornelius C. Vermeule. of
East Orange, who was one of the
principal witnesses against the city in
the controversy.
Frederick w. Kelsey asked if Mr..
Vernleule had read the testimony in the
Orange case, and Mr.. Lord replied Mr..
Vermeule had given a large part of it.
Mr.. Vermeule was asked how he came
to appear in the proceedings against
h city, and he remarked:
MY friend, Parker, the attorney In
the case, asked me to testify"
And paid you for 1t, too?'' remarked
Mr.. Lord.
YES" was the answer. He intimated
he would have appeared for the city
as a expert If the authorities would
reimburse him for the time he gave UP
from his business to appear in the pro-
ceedings.
There were extensive arguments Of
fered by Mr.. Lord, MI. Kelsey and the
Rev. Adolph Roeder. head of the Civic
Club of Orange. favoring the i~nstalla-
ton of a lighting plant, whole those
opposing the scheme included Mr.. Yer
meule, Absalom P. Bachman, Stuart
Lindsey, Ezra Williams, Isaac C. Og-
den, John D. Everitt and School Com
missioner Lawrence A. Norton.

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When without Exertion Or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals And Cure
Dyspepsia.

Don't blame your tomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system.
When the stomach won't do it's work
it is because it cannot.
When foul smelling doors come from
your stomach, when the head aches
and the sourness of mouth every morn
ing makes you hate YOU breakfast,
when dreams and nightmare assail
you. don't give up the fight.
This is the appeal Of nature. and it
should be heard.
O~ver-eating. late suppers, poorly
ehewed food. too rich pastries and I'M
der-done cooking are some of the
causes of h stomach's i'll health.
When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into 1T.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
sest a full meal easily without material
assistance from the stomach. They
will restoek the gastric fluid with all
the elements needed. They build up
the blood, destroy sour taste, bad
breath, belching stomach and bowel
trouble and quickly restore natural
conditions.
One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's will digest 5000 grains of food in
TIE stomach or in a glass via without
aid of the hKnan digestive apparatus.
