The first two entries for the Asbury
Park baby parade have been made,
and the carnival committee announce
that Ruth Irene and Janet Hilliard
Wilson, Of Morristown, head the list
of youthful competitors who will
march on September 2. The two
children, whose ages respectively are
i've years ten months and two years
six months, are daughters of Mrs.
Grace Flanders Wilson, of No. A
Court street, and the. elder of the two
has always made a record for herself
in baby parades there in former years.
When Ruth lacked but two days of
being two years old, in August, 1905,
she made her first appearance in the
march of youngsters. She was entered
in the college colors section, and
garDed as tiny athlete, in suit of
pale blue and white, and carrying a
Columbia university flag, she met
with great applause and won a carni-
val cup.
The next year Ruth entered the
paraders' ranks in the fancy dress d.
vision, and this time appeared in frock
coat and silk hat, and as diminutive
Beau Brummel won another silver
cup.
For the third time, in 1907, she was
enrolled among the little ones in the
parade, but though she entered the
fancy dress division she appeared for
the first time dressed as a girl. She
again won prize, the third, and was
dressed as an ancient Grecian damsel.
Her robe was of white, decorated with
gold braid. In this same division
Ruth will be among the marchers this
year, but what her costume will be is
as yet secret to any but Ruth and
her parents.
Ruth's little sister essays her first
appearance before the vast public this
year, and will be entered in the same
division in which her "bigo sister
made hit in 1905. In some kind of a
college costume little Janet will try
for one of the trophy cups.

First Aid at The Mines.

1t is understood that DIR. Griswold,
of this town, will go to Dover to in
struct the miners in the tirst-aid-to-
the-injured-corps. In nearly every
mine in the anthracite regions corps
is attached to the ambulance room
who act as orderlies, handle drugs,
know bandaging and elementary surg
cry, and can take care of the wounded.
1t is Of the utmost Importance that a
wounded miner should be taken care
of before the exhausting journey to
this town. Hence the necessity for
the Observation-Disclosures corps, and
the important necessity of a hospital
in Dover. Many man has died
through the long journey to this
town.

BAN ON FAMILY TICKETS.
Lackawanna Limits Their Use TO the
Holder and His Family

Lackawanna Limits Their Use to the
Holder and His Family
The Lackawanna railroad has an
nounced that all fifty trip family
tickets sold after August lst will be
good only for the holder and his fam
lily and has revoked the privilege of
friends travelling on them. The
statement, issued by General Passen-
ger Agent Cullen, is as follows;
AS their name indicates, Fifty Trip
Family Tickets, were originally de-
signated for the sole use Of the pur-
chasers and their families and this re-
striction is still in effect on many of
the railroads of the country. AS
matter of accommodation, the privil-
egeS of these tickets were on some
roads subsequently extended to in
clude guests or visitors accompanying
commuters to their homes for the
purposes of spending the evening or
for prOtracted visit. From this, their
use by others than actual visitors grew
TO be more or less general, either
through the misapprehension of pur-
chasers as to their privileges or as the
result of intentional manipulation on
the part of persons who made busi
ness of selling rides" TO acquaint-
ances and in many cases to total
strangers who could not in any sense
l. r1<<<1 6~rsn
The latter feature has ia recent
years assumed such proportions that
the revenue to which the company is
justly entitled on purely occasional
forms Of transportation, has been SER.
iously affected and great loss in the
aggregate has resulted by reason of
this practice. The company has been
powerless to protect itself except in a
measure through legal processes. The
enforcement of the provisions Of the
ticket is rendered impracticable by
the difficulty in determining the cor
rectness of the statements of passen-
gers who may claim to be legitimate
visitors of the purchasers Of tickets,
but who, in many cases, are not en-
titled to be claSsed as such.
The extent to which the misuse of
these tickets has grown is such that
the company has found it necessary to
restrict their use to the actual pur-
chasers, their immediate families and
servants therein, and, consequently,
for tickets sold on and after August
1st, 1909, the use of the said tickets by
visitors will not be permitted.
Tariffs covering this modification
have been on file at ticket offices and
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for the time required by law.
On and after August 1st, 1909, the
sale of forty-six trip monthly school
tickets covering interstate transporta-
tion ii. e., between points in New Jer-
sey and New York City will be dis
continued and tickets of this discrip-
tion will be available for use only be-
tween points in the State of New Jer-
sey land for students attending schools
located in New Jersey only which
latter will be governed by the same
restrictions and conditions heretofore
observed.

MUST REMOVE POLES.
Norris & Somerset Co. to Take Mt
Kemble Avenue Line Down.

MOTIFS ~ somerset 20. TO rake M e.
Kemble Avenue Line Down.
Being compelled by Frederick L..
Armstrong to remove its poles from in
front of his property within sixty days
the Morris q Somerset Electric Co.
has notified it's consumers on Mt.
Kemble avenue below Mr.. Armstrong;
place that it will have to discontinue
furnishing electric current to them.
Mr.. Armstrong had an agreement
with the Public Service corporation
to the effect that the five poles be-
longing to that company should be re-
moved on notice from Mr.. Armstrong.
Not being able to come to terms with
the Morris & Somerset Co., lessees Of
the Public Service, Mr.. Armstrong
has enfored the terms of his agree
ment.
At present the poles are carrying
wires for the street lamp circuit in
that section of Morris township and ii
the company wished it would have to
only remove the wires supplying the
private consumers, for under the law
the governing body of any municipal
ity may order the erection of poles for
street lighting purposes at any point
along the streets and the property
owner has no redress.
The electric company, however, only
consented to place street lamps on
lower Mt. Kemble avenue because OF
getting the business of private con-
sumers as well. 1t contends that
there is not sufficient revenue in fur
nishing street lights to warrant main
tanning pole line costing $4,000 To
build and so will take down the line,
because of Mr.. Armstrong's action
This is most unfortunate as the street
lights on that thoroughfare are much
appreciated.

Morristown B. B. c. Succeeds

Parksides Win Easily.
FIELD CLUB PLAYS LAST GAME

The Morristown B. B. g. won the
initial contest in the Morris county
championship series Saturday after
noon defeating the Jersey #. 9. Of
Boonton, two to one. 1t was a fine
pitchers battle, the honors being
about even between Holton and Lewis.
Neither side scored until the seventh,
when Morristown got TWO runs over
by the aid of the hit and run method.
McDevitt started the trouble by a
single. Lewis threw over Lucas head
after he had nabbed Kennedy'S liner
and before the ball was recovered Nc
Dewitt had scored. Maloney connected
for base, scoring Kennedy. Hinch-
man was there with neat sacrifice,
but Lippincott's liner was easy for
Bacon and Wagner skied to Orr.
Boonton got their tally in the eighth.
Geiger got life on Maloney's tumble,
Kennedy misjudged Lucas fly to
right field and it went for two base
hit, Geiger scoring j. Conn was out
by being struck by batted ball and
r. Conn foul flied to Doyle, Bacon the
first man up, being called out on
strikes. 1t looked like another run
in the nineth when Shanahan got to
first on Doyle's wild heave to Maloney
(which should have been an out) and
Lewis singled, but Richards foul fled
to Doyle who threw to Hinchman,
putting out Shanahan. Orr ended
the game by going out, Hinchman to
Maloney.
BoonUon had men on the bases every
inning except the second but Holton
was there in the pinches, not man
getting to third base, except when
their run was tailed. Holton famed
seven, walked four and hit two with
the ball. Lewis whitfield six and passed
one.

sport and While the track was not fast
it was in good condition to race over
and the time made in some of the
events was good.
A feature OF the afternoon program
was an exhibition half-m by Marpal.

latter stepped two miles alone both in
2:2l fat.
The first regular event called was
the free-for-all trot and pace. It was
limited to FIVE heats and Louise Bell

third heats to the bay mare Ruth d,

severe Electrial storm.

An electrial storm of great violence
passed over Morristown on Friday and
the wind and lightning played havoc
with many trees and streets and Gel
lars were flooded with water.
A large maple tree in front of the
residence of the Misses Browne on
DeHart street was practically torn to
pieces, the limbs in crashing down
tearing large branches from adjoining
trees. An old tree in the rear of the
Hibler building, short distance from
the first mentioned tree, was struck.
Three sheet iron chimney tops were
blown from the Morris County Savings
bank building and hurled into DeHart
street. A tree in the park, near the
United States hotel, was struck and
big limb torn off.

Co. IS lines suffered from the storm
and several of its circuits we're tenn
porarily out of business A tree on
Early street was blown down and fell
across the wires, breaking them and
putting out the lights in that section.
Another tree on Madison avenue did
the same thingiand a tree on Water
street followed suit.
A large limb was torn from tree in
Timothy Spain's yard on Morris
street. AS it fell it smashed a win
dow in the house,
The lightning struck the linotype
