They are Not Vain OF Their Titles.
The members Of the Catholic church
are naturally grieyed over a recent
publication to the effect that the
clergymen of their church are particu-
larly prone to display the letters de-
noting their degrees or official title.
They know their clergymen to be as a
rule hard-working, sell-denying men,
who do a prodigious amouat OF work
for very meagre salary, and are ready
10 carry tile burdens Of their parish
toner's on their hearts to a remarkable
degree. Their degrees or titles de-
note their particular work and respon-
sibility and are used the same as titles
in civil or military life. Whatever dis
play there may be Of titles Or vest
.ments certainly cannot be charged to
personal vanity.

ARISTOCRAT
ANDDEMOCRAT
DR.. Humphreys Tells Of Their
Combination in George and
Martha Washington.
MRS.W.W. CUTLER ENTERTAINS

Mrs. Willard W. Cutler, regent of
the Morristown chapter, of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, en-
tertained the members of the chapter,
members of the Society of Colonial
Danes residing in Morristown and the
regents of the other chapters of the
D. A. r. in New Jersey at her home
on Cutler place Thursday afternoon.
DR.. f. Landon Humphreys was present
and read an interesting paper upon
!" Martha Washington.
Mrs. William Libbey, state regent
of the D. A. R., made an address, ex-
planning the plan proposed of using a
part of the wood from the British
frigate " Agusta," which was sunk in
the Delaware river during the Revolu-
tionary war and through the efforts of
the state D. A. r. was raised, and
making a chair as memorial to be
placed in the national capitol at Wash
ington. Wood from this frigate has
already been used for finishing the
New Jersey room in Memorial Contin-
entail hall, at Washington, and for the
making Of furniture for this room.
The cost of this chair viii be about $3.50
and it is planned have each Of the
thirty New Jersey chapters make a
contribution forthe purpose.
Many were present at the affair, in
cluding a number of the state regents.
After the meeting tea was served by
the hostess.
DR.. Humphreys address was upon
Martha Washington and he chose
as his title Martha Washington,
Aristocrat and Democrat" He said
that he believed The aphorism true.
that every woman is an arisGocrat at
heart, and that this was especially
true of Martha Washington not mere
ly by accident OF birth but by nature.
The word democrat he contended was
a narrow and exclusive term. The
word aristocrat, on the other hand
was broad and inclusive. The ideal
rarely found, was combination and
in this sense, Martha Washington was
+both an aristocrat and democrat.
He praised American women and de.
clared that if London and the court OF
st. James had been. annexed to Amer.
ica as some asserted, it has been done
by our women and not by our men.
The society in the old Virginian manor
houses in the days Of Martha Dand-
ridge and Martha Washington might
strike modern New England school
teacher as crude and unrefned. The
modern women of culture and refine.
ment" is harrassed by rules and
haunted by fears of breaking them.
The Virginian aristocrat considered
herself the maker of rules and not
their slave.
DR.. Humphreys declared that we
as nation, fought to be thankful
that in our formative period we had
at the head of our nation two such
arisbocrats as George and Martha
Washington. Persons who with al
innate and intuitive feeling Of that
which was fit and proper saved u,
from the reproaeh of a demagogie al
fection of simplicity, as well as from
/ the vulgar ostentation which inyaria
/ bly, characterizes the democrat WHO
I thinks chat money can make him ar
arstocrat. La this critical period nC
influence was greater chan that oI

The Morris County Traction Co.,
has been successful tn securing almost
unanimous consents to the trolley

consensus of opinion of the merchants
and people generally is that it will
benefit more people and the company
will derive greater profit if it continues
its line down South and Pine street to
the Lackawanna station instead of
down Morris street, where the traffic
is already very heavy.

HARD LIVES
OF TWO WIVES

Harriet X. Beringer has brought a
libel for separation against Frederick
L. Beringer. She alleges that he fails
to provide support for herself ana
their eight month old daughter, al
though receiving $3.50 a month in the
customs service. They were married
at Kappa on June Z, 1905, and the COM
plant says that at all times during
their marriage her husband has habit
ually squandered his salary in drunk
enness and debauchery. Before the
birth of their child she was reduced
to such straits that she pawned her
engagement ring valued at $3.50, which
he had given her, for $50 with which
to purchase necessary food. Further
more she accuses him of habitual ana
gross cruelty to her in word and deed
since a few weeks after they were
married. They occupy home at Pun
nui purchased in her name for $lIO0 on
which they have made Improvement
at an expense of about $3.50. There IS
a mortgage debt of 5000 on the pre-
misses, while $500 is owing for improve
ments. Mrs. Beringer desires to be
permitted to live at said home and TO
add to it's improvements. She also
seeks protection of the court from mo-
lestation by her husband, and prays Tor
alimony, suit money and separation in
perpetuity or otherwise as to the courC
may seem provident and reasonable.
Mary Comes has brought bill for
maintenance against her husband M.
Comes on behalf of herself and their
two young children. She says that
on February 3, 1910, he packed his
clothes and other belongings in trunk
and took them away. Moreover on leav-
ing he stopped her credit at the store
where they had been getting supplies,
also with the milkman, and on the
evening before abandoning her burned
her hat, shoes and clothing. He lin
formed her he would not support her
but would rather go to jail instead.
