CHRISTMAS STAMP IDEA OLD.
Money Raised BY Them in 1862 for
Civil War Soldiers.

That Christmas stamps were first
sold in 1862 to raise money for the
wounded soldiers in the civil war; an
tedating by thirty years their use by
of authorities in answer to inquiries
made by the Wisconsin Antl-Tuber-
culosis association. 1t has been claim
ed that the Christmas stamp idea or
iginated in Denmark or Sweden. but
it is proved that America has the
honor of inventing it.
The honor of first using Christmas
stamps to raise funds for fighting tu-
berculosis is divided. Denmark and
Sweden were among the first. and
since then every country i'm Europe has
used them i'm some form.

Paving Contract signed.

The contract for the paving of
Washington street was signed by
Mayor Theodore Ayers and a repre-
sentative of the Jersey Paving corpor-
alton, of Newark, on Thursday after
noon. Though the Jersey company
was not the lowest bidder for the
work Street Commissioner Cole and
the street committee of the board OF
aldermen deemed the brick offered by
the company superior to that bid upon
by the Atlantic Contracting & Con-
struction Co., also of Newark.
The Jersey company bid S7,399.50 on
shale brick called Metropolitan. The
Atlantic company's bid was S6ySa2.9O
for Fairmount, tire clay brick.
In the estimation of the town off,
cials the shale brick was the harder
of the two bricks and would wear bet
ter. The Metropolitan brick is in use
on streets in Newark, Camden, Tren-
ton, Albany, Brooklyn, Wilmington,
Boston, Allentown and other cities.
The Fairmo@nt brick is In use on
three streets in Jersey City and in
New Brunswick, Baltimore and Ha-
gerstown. Work is to begin within
ten days.

Sunday base ball was inaugurated at
Cleveland park Sunday with a game
between the Cleveland r. G. and the
Jersey A. O., the final score being six
to two, with the Clevelands in the as
tendency. Welsh famed eleven while
Metler whitfield twelve. The Cleve-
lands played inferior base ball and if
the Jerseys could only learn to play a
game with fewer unexcusable errors
they might have had the older fellows
at their mercy.
The Jersey A. G. meets the Berkeley
Heights aggregation at Berkeley
Heights Saturday afternoon ia a re-
turn game. When the Berkeley
Heights boys met the locals some time
ago the locals triumphed by a score Of
ten to nothing.
Cleveland Field club disappointed
most every body Saturday afternoon
at New Vernon when they allowed
the New Vernon team to do them up
by a score of twelve to seven. The
New VernonS have not been doing any
remarkable playing this year but the
Collinsville push was easy the hosts
playing all around them.
The game between the Young Mems
Christian association juniors and the
Greystone park team turned out to be
a joke, the score resulting thirteen to
two, the Morris Plains folks of course
on top. This is rather late in the sea-
son,for practice games for the Y. M.
boys are by their youth alone out OF
their opponents class.
Willie I" Holton, pitching for the
| National Turner'S against the st.
Benedicts, in Newark on Sunday, was

ASSAULT AND
THEN SUICIDE
Frederick Kouse Makes Brutal
Attack on Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith, Of ParSippany.
HANGS HIMSELF FROM A TREE

After brutally clubbing Mrs. Eliza
beth Smith at her home near Parsip-
pany early Wednesday morning Fred
erick Krouse went to nearby patch
of woods and hanged himself from a
tree.
Mrs. Smith is the wife of George w.
Smith, a farmer. AS was his custom,
Smith arose and went to the fields
early. A short time afterward Krouse
entered the house and, unobserved,
made his way to Mrs. Smiths room on
the second floor. He was armed with
club. Evidently he tried to kill the
woman with first blow, but in this
he was unsuccessful, and her cries
aroused her daughter, Marguerite,
seventeen years old. The girl rushed TO
the door of her mothers room and
saw Krouse beating her mother over
the head. Badly frightened she
jumped from second story window
to the ground. Unhurt beyond few
slight bruises she hurried to neigh
bors and gave the alarm. Krouse saw
her go and running down the front
stairs went out the front door, locked
it and threw the key away.
Neighbors rushed TO the Smith
home and found Mrs. Smith uncon-
scious. She was cared for by two
physicians at her home and later
brought to Memorial hospital here.
County Detective Edward L. Bren-
nan was notified and organized posse
to search for Krouse. About three
O'Clock in the afternoon his Gead body
found by the searchers.
Krouse was hanging by the neck,
having choked himself to death with
a window cord. He had made two at
tempts, at it, the first time letting
himself down from the limb of a tree
by a fall. The rope cut his neck. but
broke. AS the rope showed, he then
climbed the tree again, and, letting
himself down easily, was strangled to
death. His feet were ten feet from
the ground. He was found in dense
thicket of woods about one and hall
miles from the Smith house.
DIR. Francis H. Glazebrook and DR.
George L. Johnson, the local coroners
are both away from town on their va.
cations and Coroner George Kitchens
of Wharton, was away on the free
holders outing, SO that it was neces
sary to secure Justice of the peace tC
give permission to remote Krouse's
body. Justice Kirwin, of Boonton
went to Parsippany and viewed the
body.
1t is thought that Krouse had de-
signs on Miss Smith and his assault
on her mother was for the purpose Of
silencing her.

ouibbling over Manholes.

With work started on the repaving
of Madison avenue a discussion has
arisen between the board of freehold
ers and the Morristown board of sew
erage over the height Of the manholes
and lamp holes of the sewerline on the
avenue. When the manholes were put
in they were placed at the grade OF
the road at that time. Now, with the
road being repaved, it is found they
are about four inches toolo
To raise them will cost about Sl0(
for the lot, there being twenty-fouI
manholes and ten lamp holes. The
road committee notified the sewerage
board to have them raised but the
sewerage board could not see it, hav'
ing built them originally at the grade
of the road.
Now the county threatens to lay
the paving over the manholes, neces
sitating the removal of the stone
whenever an inspection may be neces
sary.

Entitled to Two Days. Pay on the
Amendment Election Day.
There seems to be some unnecessary
uncertainty in regard to the compen-
sation Of election boards on September
IA, 1909. The matter was referred to
the attorney general and his decision,
it is stated, was that the boards could
receive pay but for one day. The act
providing for the election, however,
settles the question. 1t says =
For the services and duties required
and imposed upon them. under and by
virtue of this act, the members of the
boards of registry and election shall
each receive the sum Of three dollars
for making or revising the registry
and five dollars for conducting the
election, to be paid as the expenses of
elections for members of the General
Assembly are now paid.
The compensation OF the county
election boards is also fixed by the act
as follows =
The county boards of election in the
several counties shall sit on the Satur-
day next preceding such election, and
also on the day of election, from eight
O'Clock in the forenoon till five O'Clock
in the afternoon of each Of said days,
and perform the same duties in respect
to such registry as is now provided by
law in respect to the registry for any
general election, and each mem ber OF
said board shall receive the sum OF
five dollaas for his services under the
provisions of this act for each of said
days.

commuted from that borough about

isa grandfather, and the other day,
while one of the Lackawanna trains
was waiting at station for the time
to leave, said his grandson, ten months
old, had given surprise to his mother
and the rest of the family that morn
ing that they would not be likely to
forget. The little fellow was getting
his morning bath, and was shrieking
with Joy and splashing right vigorous
ly. The bathtub was three-fourths
full, and the mother was holding him
up as beat the water with his chubby
hands. Suddenly he jumped away
from her, and, instead of sinking,
swan to the end of the tub. She be-
lieved that this was the result of the
impetus of the jump, but thought she
would see whether he really could
swim. He was carried to the end OF
the tub and she placed her hands
lightly under him. She didn't have
to support him. From that day to
this the little fellow has daily swim,
generally with the family as specta
tors"
When it is remember that j. Paul
Jameson is the father of this lusty
youngster no one need be surprised.
The lad couldn't help being smart.

Election Omcers Expect Double Pay.
Election officers in districts outside
cities having more than 10000 iahab-
itants are beginning to agitate the
question Of the pay they will receive
for their services Tuesday, September
14th, the day of the special election on
the proposed constitutional amend
ments.
In the election districts mentioned
that will be a registration day as
we'll as an election day, and the off,
GERS claim they will be entitled to
pay for both kinds of service. The
pay for registration is So per day
for each officer, and for an election
day it is S5 for each officer. IL is
likely that the question will be re;
ferred to the attorney general, and
it is considered probable that the
ruling will be that each officer in
the districts in question will be en-
titled to the So for the special cleo
ti0n day.
