AN IDEAL.
HOLIDAY
The Glorious Fourth Celebrated
with Fitting Enthusiasm
the Following Day.
MUCH NOISE EARLY AND LATE

Despite the campaign for quieter
celebration of Independence day the
celebration this year In Morristown
seemed to be just as noisy as ever.
The firing of pistols and crackers
started early Monday morning and
continued until late at night. The
usual toll of youngsters who suffered
from powder burns, pistol wounds and
other injuries coincident with the use
OF explosives was exacted but nothing
serious developed.
The police were busy all day Mon
day and on Sunday as we'll. A group
OF boys, unable to restrain the exuber-
ance OF their joy until Monday went
to Fort Nonsense Sunday afternoon
and fired off reyolvers. Chief Hollo-
way pounced upon them and captured
Patrick Whalen and Harvey Rolf.
Justice Howard dismissed the lads
with a reprimand. Arrests for drunk
eness and for disorderly conduct were
made on Monday and about dozen
revolyers were taken away from their
owners by the officers An officer was
stationed at Memorial hospital during
the evening in an endeavor to keep
that neighborhood as quiet as possible.
Base ball games drew hundreds of
spectators both morning and after
noon. A big throng assembled on the
park during the afternoon to listen to
the band concert and many attended
the lawn party at All Souls hospital.
Fires were few, only two alarms be-
ing sent in. The chemical was called
to house on Wetmore avenue to ex-
tinguish fire on the roof and also to
Patrick Doran's residence on Weste IN
avenue, but found nothing at the lat
ter place to demand attention.
A big crowd journeyed to the Whip
pany River club Monday evening and
enjoyed the fireworks display there
and many private displays were also
set off and delighted the eyes of many.

TO LICENSE HUNTERS.
Nimrods Must OBTAIN Permit from
County Clerk Mott.

Nimrods Must OBTAIN Permit from
County Clerk Mott.
Owing to some misunderstood with
reference to the new resident hunters
license law, County Clerk e. Bertram
Mott has called attention to few
facts concerning the act:
The law take effect after July 4th,
1909, and applies to all resident citi
zens of New Jersey except that the oc-
cupant of farm or members of his
immediate family may hunt on his
farm during the hunting season with
out taking out license.
The licenses can be issued to any
citizen of the State by any Municipal
Clerk or County Clerk in the State at
any time previous to December 31st,
1903, and is good until December 31st,
1909.
The fee of the clerk for issuing resi-
dent hunters license is $1.l5. For is
suing hunting licenses to unnatural
lied persons, the fee is $10.50, which
can be issued in the same manner.
Licenses for nonresident hunters
can be procured only from the county
clerk and the fee is $lO50. Ncn-resi-
dent hunters must take out license
whether they own property in the
State or not.
The licenses are not transferable and
cannot be used by any other than the
person to whom it is issued and such
license must be carried by the owner
while hunting, and if lost, he must
procure new one.
There is no prohibition against
granting license to minor, nor is
there any prohibition against his
hunting in lawful manner.

mate, President Burnham. Mr.. Choate
gave one of his most earnest, helpful
speeches and gained the attention Of
the eighty-one boys present as well as
fifty or more guests, by relating first a
fish story, which he vouched for as be-
ing absolutely true, In which the cele-
brated poet and statesman, Matthew
Arnold, figured when fishing with the
speaker In Stockbridge bowl. Mr..
Choate spoke of the grand opportunity
offered the boy of To-day, better than
that Of forty or fifty years ago, simply
because the world is growing better
and bigger every day and the world at
large is looking for honest, manly boys
ready and willing to do honest work.
In speaking of the excellent discipline
at the farm, he said he hoped that the
heafmaster still had a knee a knee
over which wayward boy might be
turned, because said Mr.. Choate, / be-

turning point in many boy life in the

or rather inspection day, of Berkshire
industrial farm was held at that insti-
tuition, nestled amid the Berkshire
hills near Queechy lake just over the
New York state line, this afternoon,
and was the most largely-attended
meeting of it's character in the history
of that institution. After dress par
ade, participated in by the eighty one
boys now at the farm, who showed ex-
cellent drill and discipline, the exer-
cises opened in the chapel with a
brief word of welcome by President
Frederick Gordon Durham, of Morris
town, N. j., in which he stated that
the sole aim of this grand work for the
boys was the building of noble char
acters. Rev. DIR. Arthur Lawrence, OF
Stockbridge, followed in happy vein
and during his remarks he made the
statement that the prime object OF
this present meeting, and that FOL
which all had labored SO long, namely,
the erection of a new and suitable
chapel, was about to be realized, as
the amount pledged for this purpose
last year had increased from 5000 until
to-day the fund is $4,000. The amount
required is $1,000. This statement
was received with great applause.
