FIRE HORSES
OVERWORKED
Humane Engine Company Asks
for Increase IN Appropria-
ton to Keep Them.
PAVING COMPANY NOW PAID

Humane Engine company of the To-
cal fire department. asked the board Of
aldermen Friday evening for an in
crease in its monthly appropriation so
that the company would get 800 in
stead of S35 as at present. 1t was as
serted that the working OF the COM
pany'S team on the streets was injur-
ious to the horses, making them una
Bile to make quick time and also keep
ing them at times a mile or more
away from the fire house. The COM
pany has no stalls in its house and has
to rent stable in the rear of the
Merchants block to house the horses.
The fire committee has taken the
matter under advisement.
Ninety per cent. of the contract
price for the paving of Washington
street was ordered paid the Jersey
Paving Co., of Newark, by the board.
This amounts to S6, $50. The $3.50 bal
ance will be retained by the town un-
til the expiration of the five years
guarantee. Nothing was said about
the SIS penalty per day for not having
the work comnleted which the con-
tract specified.
Chief Engineer j. Fred Runyon re-
ported that the fire department. was
in good working order. Though there
we're disappointments In exhibitions
at the annual inspection of the de-
partment he considered that the fail
ures had their lessons and would prove
valuable to the department. He has
issued permit for the use of rein
forced concrete in the Enslee building
at No. AZ Morris street which was
badly burned several months ago, and
anouher permit for repairs to Nos. 45
and 49,,
Town Treasurer John ]. A. Owens
asserted that he had been unable to
collect several bills due the town for
the use of the steam roller and for
tagging and the bills we're ordered
placed in the hands Of the town attor-
Dey for collection.
The laying Of new gas main Street
Commissioner Cole asserted, was the
cause of delay in resurfacing Elm
street. When the gas company had
completed its work a full force Of la
borers would be put to work and the
job rushed to completion.
Residents and property owners of
the vicinity petitioned the board to
have Clinton street and Clinton place
connected, that access might be had
with Speedwell avenue from Atno ave-
nue.. The street committee had the
matter referred to it by Mayor Ayers.
The election of Eugene O'Neil to
Resolute Hook and Ladder company
was confirmed.

People often forget that it is not
always the fault of the train men that
doors of cars are occasionally left open
or someone is carried beyond his sta
tion while asleep. A case in point oc-
Cured on a South Orange train re-
Gently when a passenger waxed exceed
ing wroth because a brakeman failed
to close his car door between two sta
tionS.
A passenger was curious as to the
reasons for the neglect, thinking that
it might not be altogether the fault
of the trainman. He found on inves-
tigation that this train of ten cars
was being handled by the conductor
and two brakemen, no baggage man
being aboard. Every stop was made
from Hoboken to South Orange, but
two. The brakeman complained Of
having to take tickets in three cars, he
had to care for four car platforms at
stations, announce the stations in each
of his cars, keep the doors closed and
towards the latter part of the run get
the seats turned over because of start
ing back for Hoboken twenty-five
minutes after his arrival at South
Orange. At South Orange four cars
were left, having to be placed upon
the proper siding, the engine turned
around and coupled on the other end
of the train, the air brakes tested and
and a general examination made Of
the train all in twenty-five minutes.
If the Lackawanna would put enough
men on its trains to properly handle
them there would be far less kicks
against the trainmen-put the blame
where 1t belongs.

A Much Needed improvements.

Frank Waller, the architect and
artist, is just completing an addition
TO his house, which, though not large,
improves it vastly. The entrance hall
was somewhat dark and now has taken
in piece of the piazza, taken away a
closet and added about 125 square feet
and four windows to the hall, which
is now we'll lit ans well proportioned
to the house.
He has also enlarged his windows to
his library studio and has three single
pieces of plate glass for as many win
dows about 3.6x60 which makes a
most splendid light, which he needs
for his studio work which has so
greatly developed of late. Mr.. Waller
has also made special and separate
steps and entrance to his studio so
that visitors may enter the studio di-
rectly from the outside. 1t will now
be open to visitors who may be inter-
ested in his work. He has some thirty
or forty studies made this summer at
Mt. Pocono and it's vicinity.

Newspapers Hello Tralnmen.

Noticing a Lackawanna brakeman
carefully collecting and folding the
newspapers left in the seats by pas
sengers the question was asked him
after he had slowed away several un-
der a rear seat, Going to do some
reading when you get home?" mot
so you could notice it" was the reply,
" | am going right to bed?' Do
the children cut the pictures out for
their scrap books 2" Guess again,
/ haven't any children" Well,
what do you do with those newspa-
pers 2" Sell'em," was the reply.
The brakeman then went on to re-
late how he was able to accumulate
several hundred pounds a month, net
ting him several dollars when sold to
junkman. Every dollar helps these
days with high rents and living SO
high" said the railroader. ~There is
a baggageman in Morristown who COL
lects on an average of a ton of papers
a month" /" said he, netting him from
ten to twelve dollars"

Arrangements are being made by
Mrs. w. Ledyard Thompson, Miss
Louisa Keasbey and the Rev. Phile-
mon f. Sturges to haYe the Clothing
Bureau of ST. Peters church open for
sales weekly or bi-weekly, as may be
found advisable, at regular hour.
Closets have been installed in the
basement of the church SO that the
clothing, which is contributed by
members Of the parish, can be con-
viently received, sorted, priced and
stored Last year there were five reg
ular sales from which the receipts
were $96 40. While clothing is given
to destitute cases, large number of
people are also helped who would
never apply for relief out who are only
too glad to avail themselves of the
sales and purchase clothing which
they need at nominal price.

SCH00LYARD FAIRGROUNDS.
why Not Equip Them with Gymna-
sium Apparatus,

While public Fairgrounds on proper
ty especially purchased for that pur-
pose are fine thing and make beauty
spots in many a neighborhood that
sorely needs something to open the
eyes ofits residents to the desirability
of keeping their neighborhood cleaner
and neater, it costs a big sum of money
to acquire the necessary real estate.
This initial outlay for just one play
ground would be sufficient to equip
several Fairgrounds with gymnasium
apparatus and amusements If the
grounds was provided in some other
way.
The public school yards of the town
could be utilized for this purpose and
while not providing sufficient space
for a base ball field or a running track
would give ample accommodations for
basket ball and the other amusements
and apparatus used in the Fairgrounds.
1t is PROBABLE that the board of educa-
tion would acquiesce if the matter
was taken up with it and presented in
proper light.
The school yards are idle during the
summer and could be put to some
practicable purpose such as this with
out any great extra trouble. They
are located in accessible sections OF
the town where parents are sending
their children every school day and
for this reason alone would be more
likely to be appreciated than the pres
ent playground because OF it's location.
The janltor of the school, perhaps,
for an extra fee could be induced to
keep watchful eye over the young
sters. School yards in other towns
are provided with this outdoor gym
aasium apparatus, why not in Morris
town?

CARRIED FAMOUS MESSAGE.
Rowan, Who Brought Word From
Garcia, to Leave Army.


Garcia, to Leave Army.
Major Andrew S. Rowan is to retire
from the army on his own application
on Dec. next. Major Rowan is
known popularity all over the land by
reason of his feat in the spring of
1898 of penetrating Cuba to the fast
nesses of General Calixto Garcia for
the purpose of giving to General Gar
ella message from this government
and of ascertaining whether the Cuban
army could cooperate with the army
of the United States. Rowan also got
from the Cubans points as to the avail
able landing places for the American
forces and arranged for meeting
later. His mission was perilous, the
more so because news that he had
been dispatched upon it somehow came
to be published soon after he had
started, and the Spaniards were ON the
alert to intercept him.
After visiting Garcia, Rowan made
his way with a trusty aid furnished to
him by General Garcia to the north
coast Of Cuba, whence they sailed in
an open boat to New Providence.
There they got to a small schooner
bound for Key West When news Of
Rowan's safe arrival home was pub
lished there were great enthusiasm and
admiration for him all over the coun-
try, and the late George II. Daniels
famed the patriotic flames by scatter
ing over the land the Message to Gar
cia," written by Elbert Hubbard.
