Have Lively Time at United states
Hotel on Tuesday.
The January grand jury finished its
labors on Tuesday Afternoon and es-
tablished a new record for Prosecutor
Charles A. Rathbun, for it turned in
forty-three indictments, the largest
number since. that official has held of
fee. After being discharged by Judge
Mills the jury dined at the United
States hotel upon invitation of Fore
man Ernest W. Schoneberger. With
William II. Thompson and D. Farrand
Sturgis at either end of the table the
wit did not flag for an instant and
many of the humorous incidents that
happened during the jury's labors
were told with embellishments and
provoked many hearty laugh.
Among the speakers at the banquet
were Prosecutor Charles A. Rathbun,
who paid a tribute to Sheriff Orr for
picking out such an exceptionally high
class jury :; former SherlH RyerSon,
who attempted to get a fifty dollar
bill changed during the grand jury's
labors and was loaded up with
(" phoney' coin by one of the jokers ;
and d. Farrand Sturgis, whose disser-
tation upon the withdrawal Of charges
was one Of the most interesting and
instructive of the remarks made, and
several other members of the grand
inquest had few words to say also.
William III. Thompson was toast
master and introduced G. Fl. Lunger,
of Netcong, who presented Foreman
Schoneberger with large cut glass
bowl on behalf of the grand jury.
Clerk Nathaniel q. Toms was pre-
sented with a handsome scarf pin.

The Oficers Elected and the Purposes
60 be Accomplished.

The Onicers Elected and the Purposes
60 be Accomplished.
Definite organization of the Norris
town Tuberculosis Society was
effected Wednesday night at meeting
in the Memorial Hospital and board
of directors and officers we're elected
for the year 1909 The constitution
and bylaws were adopted, and steps
were taken to increase the member
ship of the society.
The meeting last night was attend
ed by small body of of the represen-
tative citizens of the city, who had
been invited to be present. This
meeting was the result of some pre-
liminary meetings, the results of
which have been previously an
nounced.
A board of directors, consisting of
the following, was elected: Monsig-
nor Joseph M. Flynn, DR.. H. A. Hen
riques, Phil P, Jacobs, Robert Hipson,
Dr. S. Pierson, Rev. P. F. Sturgis,
James Lawless, DR.. A. Uebelacker,
Rev. R. B. Urmy, Charles G. Oliver,
DIR. Clifford Mills, B. w. Clifford, Rev
w. r. Bennett, Lewis F. Sturgis, DR..
G. A. Becker, John r. Brinley, DR.. A.
L. Alaben, J. Fred Runyon, H. F.
Taylor and H. w. Van Wagenen. (.
According to the constitution, the
Board Of Directors elected its own
officers, as follows:
President--Dr. H. A. Henriques.
Vice Presidents--Dr. Armin Uebe-
lacker and Rev. P. F. Sturges.
Secretary-Phil P Jacobs.
Treasurer-H. w. Van Wagenen.
The executive committee consists
of the President, Secretary and Treas
urer, ex-officio, and the following five
elected members: Drs. Uebelacker,
Pierson and Mills, and Monsignor
Flynn and Rev. r. B. Urmy.
The next meeting of the Board of
Directors was set for Monday even
ing, Feb. Is, at eight O'Clock, in the
Memorial Hospital, at which time
chairmen of the permanent commit
tees on finance, hospital, dispensary
and education will be elected.
Membership cards have been print
ed and are in the hands Of the direc-
tors. Anyone may become a member
of the society upon the payment of 81
and the approval of any director Of
the society. A campaign for 1,500
members is being started, and every
one who is interested in exterminat-
ing tuberculosis in Morristown is urg-
ed to join in this movement.
The society has already made def
mite arrangements for dispensary for
tuberculosis cases in the Memorial
Hospital, and hopes within a short
time to announce definitely concern
ing the plans for a tuberculosis hos
pital.
Inasmuch as large number of peo-
pie have been needlessly alarmed ov-
er this movement, and have thought
that this society and its hospital and
dispensary are to act as attractions tc
draw consumptives to Morristowr
from other places, the Board of Direc-
tors wishes to state positively that
the movement and the work which the
Morristown Anti-Tubercu1osis Society
contemplates doing is to be confined
only to the corporate limits of the
city of Morristown. No tuberculosis
patient, no matter how worthy, shall
receive aid, unless he is a bone fide
resident of Morristown, that is, has re.
sided here at least a year. This
length of residence has not yet been
determined.

MIR. WALTERS SERVICES.
Perpetuating some Of the Beautiful
Features of Morristown.

Perpetuating some Of the Beautiful
Features of Morriscown.
The present effort OF the artist at this
time is to show something of the neigh
borhood in which he lives though there
are other parts he has yet to explore
and render. Among the views Of Nor
ristown on exhibition at Mr.. Waller's
studio, between thirty and forty, land
there are many others), will be found
a characteristic one Of South street
near Madison avenue which gives the
over arching of the Elm trees and the
sunlight Sitting through the branches.
Though two well known houses are
represented the view was chosen after
many efforts of Mr.. Waller at different
hours of the day to elect one place
which combined the picturesque char
acter of the street and the picture
keeps very close in it's details to the
careful study from nature made not
far from the entrance to the Clafiin
place. The picture is about three feet
long. The Randolph woods with their
dignified and stately oak trees are
shown with the incidents of afternoon
sunlight and the pictures of that, both
in summer time and autumn glory
should find some appreciatiye resting
place in some house near by these at
tractive woods, for sooner or later they
will be cut into by individual owners
and their distinctive features lost.
The "Old Roadway" looks toward
the cut made for the railway and the
workmen in the centre are walking
down the track which is hidden by
grass.
The famous old beech which is on
DeKalb (or Franklin) avenue whose
top has been broken off these many
seasons has attracted Mr.. Waller's
notice and he has preserved this relic
of former generation ia a simple and
straight forward manner just as it
stands to-day on the roadway.
The Church of the Redeemer is seen
from new point of view, near the
parsonage looking toward South street
with the Young Mems Christian as
sociation in the distance.
The view near the.entrance of the
Livingston place and The Last
Clean are two more of the views.
!
! We commend these to those who
would retain reminiscence of them
as they now exist.
From Lake Minniwaska Mr.. Waller
has several sketches and studies from
only few of which he has of yet
painted but there is material which
tells of rugged mountains and wild
woods and abrupt cliffs and storm.
beaten pine trees.
Several pictures by Mr.. Waller are
owned by residents, among these own
ers are G. A. Low, Rev. DR.. Hughes
DR.. f. w. Owen, III. M. Smith, Mrs
Edward Fl. Clarke, Mrs. Poor and
others.
Mr.. Waller announces that in addi-
tion to the exhibition Of paintings to-
day and tomorrow, the studio will be
open on Monday and Tuesday for the
general public from 10 a. m. until 4 p.
m. and after that Mr.. Waller will be
glad to see visitors any day from II a.
m. to p. M. This is in response to a
generally expressed desire to see the
artists work from time TO time.

Committee Arranges for Additional
street LiGhting-EIe and Gas.
After negotiating with the Norris
& Somerset Electric company for some
time over putting in additional street
lamps the Morris township committee
has received communication from
the company promising the installa-
tion of eighteen additional lights
Two extra lamps will be placed on
Lake road, two on Fanshawe road,
three on Webber road in Collinsville,
one on Center avenue, one on Western
avenue, three on South street. three
near Sneeden's crossing and three on
Mendham road.
The committee has contracted with
the Morristown Gas Light company
for the installation of fourteen in
verted burner gas lights on Whippany
road from the town line to the Norris
town school, where the gas company's
main ends. The lights will be placed
three hundred feet apart and will be
of ninety candle power. The commit
tee will pay S27.5O per year for the
lights. Twenty-four of these inverted
gas lights are already in use on
Madison avenue and are giving good
service.
The township committee wished ad-
ditional lights on Kitchell avenue,
Columbia road and Mt. Freedom road
but the gas company has no mains on
these road and the electric company
no pole lines and, it asserts, no funds
to build them.

Mr.. JOHN F. WEYLER has been reelected
warden of the Maryland Penitentiary, posi-
ton he has held with great credit to himself
many years. Speaking editorially of this fact
the Baltimore american says: "Mr. Weyler
has brought the system at the penitentiary to
an ideal standard. His methods for employ
ing the convicts and making the penitentiary
selfsupporting, his hold upon the affections
of his unwilling wards, his fine disciplinary
abilities, his personal magnetism are all COM
bined with profound knowledge of human
nature and most astute understanding of
criminal propensities. Universally respected
and liked, his fame has extended over the en-
tire country. This is greatly to the credit of
Maryland, and is a most valuable asset to
State which seeks to make its administration
of public institutions of uniformly high
order -

WASHINGTON HAS been given to understand
that President Taft desires to make record
breaking trip during the present year, provided
Congress sees its way clear to appropriating
the annual $4,000 for the travelling expenses
of the Executive. Leaders in both Senate and
House are known to favor this measure now,
and SO the prospects are good for such jour-
ney. The President expects to start across the
continent by the Northern route to Seattle,
stopping at the larger cities, and theu sail to
Alaska by the inside route. From Valdez
he will return to San Francisco and thence
back East by the Southern route. While in
Seattle he will attend the Alaska Yukon Ex-
position. There is some talk in Congress of
providing for the purchase and equipment of
a complete special train for the use of the
Executive.
