Unirea Appeal for the Neighborhood

--S>----
Unitea Appeal for the Neighborhood
House:
Sunday all the various churches in
Morristown united in an appeal for
the interest and help Of each member
of the congregation in the settlement
work being done among the Italians
of our town. The following is an ex-
tract from this appeal.
In all probability there are many in
the congregation who know nothing
about the settlement work being
done at the Neighborhood House on
Flagler street, although there are
some who are very much interested
ard their yearly contributions to-
gether with the contributions of mem
bers of all the various churches make
it possible for the work to continue
each year. 1t seems that it should
not be alone a certain few upon
whom this responsibility fallss but
that more men and women should
feel it their duty to help this cause
for the good Of our town, for the good
Of our country and for the good of hui
manity.
If this work is to grow, and grow it
must, if it is to fill the demands of this
large Italian population, it needs the
interest and prayers of each member
of each church in Morristown. AL
ready the Italians living in this city
number among the thousands. OF
course only a small percentage of this
number come in touch with the work
at the Neighborhood House, but, as
small awork as it is, there is no other
among that large population. Those
families who can feel toward the
Neighborhood House as one feels to-
ward friend in a strange land. They
need our help. they need our friend
ship. Can we fail to supply their great
need.
Although most ofthe work is among
the children, there are English classes
and reading clubs for the men and
mothers meetings for the women.
Every morning kindergarten class is
held from nine until eleven, and in
the afternoon classes are held for the
older girls in which sewing, cooking,
housekeeping and physical culture are
taught. Already the number of schol-
ars attending these classes is far too
large for the teachers to manage, and
there is great need of more volunteer
helpers.
If there are any, men or women, in
the congregation who feel 10 in their
power to assist with this work and can
give one hour at least once week !,
either in the morning, afternoon or
evening, they can communicate with
Miss Frances Orpen, who is in charge
OF the Neighborhood House, and it is
sure she will find a duty for each one.

one Session for HIeh school.

After being importuned for several
years by pupils of the Morristown high
school the board OF education has de-
cided to give the scheme of holding
but one session daily of the high
school a short trial. The hours
will be from eight-thirty to twelve
forty-tiye. The grammar schools will
continue the present system of hold
ing two sessions. The change in the
high school hours was made on recon-
mendation of Superintendent Ira W.
Trayell and will continue in force for
two months.
The board of education was not a
unit in this matter as Messrs. Free
man and Wilday spoke against the
change, representing parents and
scholars who we're not in favor of it.
That the high school is not crowded,
as is asserted by advocates of the
building of high school building,
was proven by superintendent Travell
In answer to question Of Harrie A.
Freeman Mr. Traveil said
There are 223 pupils in the high
school and every one has seat. Sew
enty-nine of the children are from out
of town so that we have plenty of
room for Morristown children
Miss Clara Brown, Of the high school
was put in immediate charge Of the
high school.

The Republican campaign to elect
Vivian M. Lewis as the next governor
of New Jersey started in earnest this
week, when the candidate himself will
begin Speechmaking tour. Mr.. Lewis
will have the assistance on the stump
of Governor Fort. Ex-Governor John
w. Griggs and ex. Governor Edward G.
Stokes, three of the most experienced
campaigners In the state.
There also will be prominent speak
ers from outside the state who will
take part in the campaign, principally
as defenders of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, for this measure is already
an issue in the campaign, and the Re-
publican managers purpose to stand
pat " on it and tell the reasons why.
When Woodrow Wilson closed his
first week Of real campaigning at Long
Branch last Saturday night his follow
ers were in an optimistic mood, and
Dragged that their candidate was a
winner and that from now on they
were going to devote their energies to
electing majority Of the Legislature,
so that a Democratic United States
Senator would be chosen.
Among the older of the Democratic
warehouses, however, this optimism
was not as prevalent, for, as one of
them remarked: We can always
elect our candidate in September, but
something seems to happen by the
time election day gets around"

No Danger From sewer Explosions.
AS there seems to be some alarm
about the danger OF explosions from
sewer gas in case the sewers are not
ventilated properly, we are informed
that there may be slight explosion
if the cover Of mahhole is removed
and light was taken into it before
the gas had time to escape. But little
danger need be apprehended from this
source as the gas will force the water
out Of the traps IL the pressure
amounts to anything. The real dam
ger is the accumulation Of illuminat-
ng gas or gasoline Ia the sewers.

Since she first dawned on Washing

When Miss Cassini first went to Wash
ington she found her position some
what indefinite, for she was only the
niece of the Russian ambassador,
Count Arthur Cassini, and the ladies
of the other embassies rather baked
at yielding her precedence. These
formal difficulties were cleared away,
however, when the ear of Russia
made Miss Cassini a countess In her
own right.
The young countess was a close

Mrs. S. Q. Porter of West Plains,
Howell county, is considered the best
farmer In Missouri. This is the more
remarkable as she never had done any
farming until she and her husband
moved west. Her husband worked on
the railroad, and she took up govern

farming. With the aid of a hired man
she cleared the place of brush She
soon learned to hitch a horse and pillow

her intimacy with Alice Roosevelt,
who was not then the wife of Nicholas
Longworth, made her social standing
in Washington still stronger. But
when Count Cassini was transferred
to Madrid, a change which many be-
lieve was due to the social jealousy
entertained by the family of the Brit
ish ambassador. Sir Mortimer Durand,
against the young Countess Cassini,
the situation became complicated griev-
ously with the receipt of a quiet hint
that the Spanish court, which is sec
ond only to that OF Austria IN exclu-
slveness, would not receive the Count
ess Marguerite. As a result Count
Cassini went to Madrid alone, and the
countess, his niece, has just COM
pleted a period of study in Paris
which all who knew her In this coun-
try hope may lead her to the topmost
heights of success on the operate
stage.
