Chauffer Jailed.
HIS MANNER AND ACTS TOWARD LIT
TIE GIRLS AROUSED POPULAR
INDIGNATION.

Loreal, the coiored chsuffer, was
Jailed on Thursday afternoon. 1t
is stated that while he WAS in pos
session of a car, late Wednesday
afternoon, which he should have
proceeded with to the garage d.
rectly, he went for an outing on
his own hook. In the upper por-
ton of the city he met four little
girls, between the ages of 10 and
and IL years, to whom be propos-
ed a ride. The chauffeur, having
been a familiar character upon the
streets for many months. and not
a stranger to the children, they in
their childish anticipations of an
enjoyable ride and appreheDdiug
no i'll, agreed and climbed into the
car.
The course of the car then led
out the Lake road, turning into a
field, where the car WAS stopped.
Here the chauffeur proposed by
the use of a pocket tape line, to
decide which of the girls bad the
largest foot. He also wanted to
measure their calves. He next
proposed that one of the girls
should go into the standing cane
aud help herself The now fright
ened children huddled together
and demanded their immediate re-
turn to the city.
Upon their return home they ap-
prised their parents of the hap
pening. Thursday the officers got
information of it and Officer Col
gin took Loreal into custody. At
ter having him identified by the
children he was hurried to thu pa
rish jail and locked ny. NcT

SERVE, PENDING THE ACTION OF
THE SUPREME COURT.
(Ne,c Iberia Iberidn)
In the case of the State, ex rel.
A. N. Muller, district attorney, ct
ais, vs. DIR. Paul N. Cyr ct ais, a
motion for a new trial WAS taken
up last Tuesday and argued. Coun.
sci for defendants (the elected
board). Messrs. Cammack & Brous
sard, iu their contention for q new
trial, argued that District Judge
Simon decided that section 3 of
Act pa of 1902 was repealed by
Act 60 of 1906, but that section 6
of Act 214 of 1902 was not repeal
ed, and that if section 6 of Act 2l4
was not repealed. and the COVER
nor had the right to remove de-
PENDANTS, and that be exercised
that right, he could not appoint
plaintiffs as members of the school
board for the reason that there is
no law that gives tho governor the
right to appoint, and if defendants
have been removed from Office
their successors would have to be
elected as provided by Act 60 of
1906
Judge Simon refused the motion
for a new trial, when counsel for
defendants gave notice that writs
of certiorari aud prohibition would
be applied for in the Supreme
Court The law cited in the case
is as follows

"that the State Board of Educa.

Orleans, a board of school direc-
tors, consisting of not less than

have less than five directors.
Section 5 of PA of 1902 says:

The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1909-06-29

I fancy that when a celebrant had
manfully made his way through the
courses of an old-fashioned Inde-
pendence Day dinner, he felt it was
most fortunate the event was annual.
When 1872 came we celebrated In
dependence Day by taking up cudgels
against the British again and soon
after sinking six of the enemy's YES
sells without loss to ourselves. There
was nothing secert about this celebra-
ton, for the NEUROLOGICAL eagles
wings had grown, and his scream was
heard throughout the civilized world.
When peace was declared, or rather
as late as 1918, the Nation really be-
gan to celebrate it's birthday in some
thing the same fashion as to-day, al
though the methods have altered with
conditions
All this time the Stars and Stripes
had played growing part in indie
pendence Day events. They were
first hoisted in the form of flag
made of scraps of a blue jacket, a
white shirt and red flannel, during
the siege of the American garrison of
Fort Stanwix, afterward Rome, New
York, August 6, 1777. The first dis
play meant that the flag designed by
General Washington and made by
Mrs. Betsy Ross in her little Philadel-
phia home signalized the humbling
of one great nation and the birth of
another destined to become great.
Nowadays, the display means that
eighty millions of people rejoice at
the marvellous results of the action

of the little company that met in In
dependence Hall. just 1873 years ago.
Great changes have taken place,
while all the events noted were hap
pening, in the American home. These
may be largely attributed to altered
methods of living. While from the
first settlement up to 1900 there was
considerable difference, it is since
1900 that the homes nave changed
most
At that time there were no large
cities. Philadelphia had a popula-
ton of $4,000. Next came New York
with $4,000. Then Boston with 49,
900, and Baltimore with $4,000 The
places named had not lost a rural
appearance. In Boston, for example,
the streets were unpaved, and the
sidewalks unflagged. The better
houses were usually built of brick,
with little flower gardens in front,
or lawns dotted with shrubbery. Fur
niture, silver and china were mostly
imported from England. although we
bore small love for the mother coun-
try.
There was no heating by furnaces
or steam pipes, but there we're large
fireplaces with brass andirons holding
stout logs of wood. A tall clock us
ually stood in the corner, and fairly
good pictures, including portraits by
Copley and historic scenes by Trum-
bull, hung upon the walls. OF books
there were very few by American
authors. Milton and Bunyan, Pope
and Young. the Spectator, the Letters
of Junius and Rollins Ancient His
tory were the books most often seen
lying about.
Most everyone dressed exactly as
did the men and women of England,
if they sought to- be fashionable, a
fashion that has not altogether died
out in some American homes of to-
day. Social life consisted largely in
dinners and teas and churchgoing.
Instead of the modern piano there
were spinets and harpsichords-small
instruments something like piano,
with thin metallic tones. Theatres
