Christian Advocate, is not only the
ablest' man in the Methodist church
which is saying much-but one of the

than otherwise that his is the only re-

mentality and he has a way of shut
ting his eyes to orthodox speed limits
which Is stimulating and strengthen

forecasting the heavenly future or
dilating upon the delights of eternal
idleness. He seems to have an idea
that the important thing for us here
and now is the HERE, the now!
He looks life square in the face and

whiponong Hall Burned.

Whiponong Hall Burned.
Whiponong Hall, the town hall and
public library in Whippany, was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday night. The loss
is about $1,000.
The fire started in the basement,
and despite the efforts of bucket
brigade swept through the wooden
structure. There is no fire depart
ment in the village, and the aid of the
auto chemical of this town was asked
for. The local tiremen saved the ad
joining buildings, including the post
Office, from destruction.
The hall was built several years ago
and was named from tribe of Indians
that in olden time inhabited, this Sec
tion. The public library was started
several years ago by Jonathan w. Rob-
erts, and had since been augmented by
donations from j. Cummings Vail, of
this town, and others. 1t was a total
loss, nothing being saved from the
building.
Father O'Neill had engaged the hall
for fair this week, but had taken to
it hut a few articles OF small value
which were burned. The fair will be
held in . tent on the Church grounds.

rrolley's Legal Dimculties.


The report that settlement had
been reached between the Morris
County Traction company and Robert
H. McCurdy and that further legal
proceedings would be dropped by Mr..
McCurdy could not be verified from
either Judge Willard w. Cutler coun-
sell for the trolley company, or General
Manager Rodney Gring. Both gentle
men professed ignorance of deal hav-
ing been made. David +. Barkman,
counsel for Samuel Abell, said that he
understood that such an arrangement
had been made, the trolley people pur-
chasing from Mr.. McCurdy the neces-
sary land for it's line, and that Edward
X. Mills, Mr.. McCurdy's counsel, who
had been working In conjunction with
MIR. Barkman in the certiorari proceed
ings, had discontinued further legal
work upon the case. Mr.. Mills Is out
of town and could not be seen.
Messrs. McCurdy and Abel joined
suit and asked for writ of certiorari
against the trolley company. The
case was decided In favor of the troll
ley company and their counsel then
appealed for new hearing. This ap-
plication will be decided upon the re-
turn of the supreme court justices
from their vacations about the middle
of this month. It was asserted in the
new application that several matters
assumed by the court in the decision
of the certiorari application were not
borne out by the record. /. Ii q rehear-
ing is granted the trolley work will DO
stepped indeanitely, it Is asserted by
Judge Cutler. 9D

Madison Avenue Neariy Completed
Frederick S. Smith and the osborne
s. Marcellus Co., the contractors re-
pairing Madison avenue, have about
completed their respective sections.
Mr.. Smith hopes TO start work on
South street from Madison avenue to
Elm street the first OF next week.
Both contractors have used the
Headley process for the larger part Of
their sections. with this scheme of
road building a first course of three
inches OF three and one-half inch
stone is laid on the road which is then
treated with hot asptaltum binder.
This is followed by slcourse Of one
inch OF three-Quarter inch stone which
is also treated with the asphaltum
binder. Though not called for in the
specifications the contractors are fol-
lowing this up with light course Of
half-inch stone instead of the sand as
prescribed blythe specifications. The
sand is used to take up any oil that
may work to the surface during the
rolling OF the stone.
On South street the Amiesite pro-
cess will be used, This calls for the
stone receiving coating of the as
phaltum binder at the crusher. One
course Of one and one-half inches Of
four inch stone is used, followed by q
top dressing and frequent rollings.

THE AMENDMENTS ANDJUsTICES
vice-Chanceilor shows That Justices
of the Peace Are Not Effected.

vfce-Chancellor shows That Justices
of the Peace Are Not Effected.
j am informed that some Of the JUS
tices of the peace In different parts of
the county are. feeling that the pro-
posed constitutional judiciary amend
ments will have the effect of destroying
their civil jurisdiction, that is pre-
venting them from entertaining suits
to recover money, ,-and detract from
the emoluments of their offices to that
extent.
desire to inform those gentlemen
and their friends that there is nothing
in the proposed amendments that will
affect the power of the legislature in
that respect already existing.
The legislature has already the
power to take away from the justices
OF the peace all their civil Jurisdiction,
aud it has already done it In those
cities and towns where district courts
are established. And the continuance
OF that conduct on the part Of the leg
islature will not be affected lin the
least by the .pr0p0Sed amendments.
The iurisdtction Of the justices OF
the peace Is ofetwo sorts :--civil and
criminal, and quasi-criminal. These
ewo sorts are entirely distinct and one
does not depend on the other. The
legislature created the civil jurisdic.
tioa. It was originally limited to SO
equal to IS. It was then Increased
gradually from time TO time until in
1898 it was fixed at $50. Then many
years afterwards it was raised to Sl00.
Later on ia oar time 1t was Increased
to 500. The legislature may increase
it to $500, or 1t may take 1t away en-
tirely, ali under the present e0nstitN-
tion. BY the express provisioDs Of
Act VI, Sec. Of present constita-
tions the legislature has power to all
ter or abolish all inferior courts among
which Is found justices courts. BY
the act of last winter Justices OF the
peace areexpressly continued in power.

May.th0Se who have not the money
wherewith to show their appreciation
of good deeds la substantial form be
allowed small space in your columns
to express their gratitude to the fire
department for the fact that their
homes are still standing after the
dangers that threatened them on
Tuesday evening?
I believe my neighborS all agree
with me that our tiremen have now
attained to a degree of proficiency in
fire lighting and life saving that would
do credit to a larger city than Norris
town and seeing how badly they were
handicapped at the outset by the ditii-
Guilty In gaining access to the cellar
where the fire first started, we all feel
that they accomplished most excellent
work on that occasion and now 1t is In
order for public spirited citizens to
send in the cash for a plentiful supply
of new hose to work with.

Vice Chancellor Pitney Working Hard
With no personal interest, but from
his long experience as a lawyer and on
the bench, Vice-Chancellor Pitney is
very much interested in the adoption
OF the constitutional amendments af-
fecting the Courts of the State. He
believes that they will institute very
much needed reform and simplify, ex-
pedite and make more efficient judi
cial proceedings. With this idea in
mind he is working hard to arouse an
interest in the matter and convert
doubters to the right view of the sub
ject He goes to Rockaway on Tues
day evening to confer with ciUizens Of
the borough in regard to the matter
and answer any question that may
arise. He should be given the oppOr-
tunity here in Morrlstown TO meet
those interested and explain points
that are not perfectly plain TO the
average lay mind.

told while at the hospital, is as fall

TURKEY PRICES
TO BE REASONABLE
GOOD supply IN THIS PART OF
COUNTRY INDICATES THAT
FESTIVE BIRDS WILL NOT SELL
FOR OVER 1s CENTS PER POUND
DEPENDS ON WEATHER.

Is the price oil turkeys going to be
such that we can afford to nave nice
big one for Thanksgiving? That is
a seasonable question and one that rs
often being asked just now. Even the
butchers would like to know definitely
although they have some idea.
From all reports that can be secured
there will be plenty of festive fowls
in Fargo. The summer has been ex-
ceptionally favorable to raising tur-
keys and the crop is good. This
makes 1T look as though the price
would be reasonable. However It is
not only the supply that fixes the
price, much depending upon the condi-
ton of the weather.
A prominent local butcher said to-
day that If the weather remains warm
the price should not go high, but Ii 1t
turns cold and blustery the price
might 80 as high as Is cents. This
is not bad as 1t has been many years
since the consumer paid much less
chan Is cents per pound for turkeys.
If the people want to get their franks
giving dinners for less than this, it
seems to be simply a matter of brio
ing the weather man.
