THE communication of J. c. Vail in
another column in regard to the proper
place to display historic matter in
Morristown is interesting and sugges-
tive. If there is anything the town
boasts of it is historic buildings. We
have first of all the Washington head
quarters, then there is the library
building replacing the old Morris
academy which dated back over hun
dred years, the Memorial hospital oc-
cupying the site of the old Parson
Johnes house, the All Souls hospital
and the historic Arnold tavern build
ing, and the Norris tavern building on
Spring street. Surely in some of these
historic buildings now occupied for
public purposes room might be found
for local museum of historic articles.
If there is not the McAlpin estate
might be induced to furnish place
for them in the Washington hall build
ing which occupies the site of the old
Baptist church used for hospital pur-
poses during the revolutionary war.

How Pat Diskin Came to Grief While
Saving Beam.
Patrick Diskin. u carpenter employed
on new building at Beekman avenue
and Oak terrace. the Bronx, New
York, was told the other day to go to
the fifth story and saw off a wooden
beam which protruded from window
oyer the street
He went up, got out on the end of
the beam and carefully sawed it in
two between himself and the window.
He and the end of the beam fell to-

hurt much. The beam was a little
bruised on one corner, and Patrick got
slight scalp wound.
He was taken to the Lebanon hospi-

but the doctors there couldn't find any
other injuries he had sustained. When
asked why he had done such thing

SUED FOR XMAS PRESENT.
Edward Dorfman Thought He Was
Entitled to Annual Gift.

Edward Dorfman Thought He Was
Entitled to Annual Gift.
A suit to recover Christmas pres.
ent which had been withheld from
him was brought by Edward Dorfman,
a raiser of pigs, before Justice of the
Peace Isaac R. Pierson on Wednesday
against Miss Menzie, the proprietress
of South street boarding house, re-
suited in a non-sui6.
Several years ago Dorfman visited
the boarding house and asked permiS-
sion to cart away the swill and gar
bage, to feed to his pigs. The same
Christmas he asked Miss Menzie's
mother, who was running the house
at that time, for S5 with which to
buy his wife Christmas present.
Mrs. Menzie gladly gave him the five
and it became an established custom
each year to give Dorfman his five
dollars.
Last fall the old man gave up COM
ing for the garbage and sent his grand
son. The young man did not pay at
tention to business, so Miss Menzie
says, and she arranged with another
swill gatherer to care for the matter.
Dorfman did not visit Miss Menzie
until Christmas when he called on her
and asked for his SIS as present. She
refused to give it to him and he
brought suit for it.
After hearing the case the justice
non-Suited him.

APPRECIATES MR. POTTS.
clyde Potts Gives Bridgeton Points on
Water System.

Clyde FOtC6 GtVeS BrtdgetOn POINTS on
Water system.
| From the fact that Howard Tyler
of Bridgeton, continues on Indefinitely
as secretary of the senate it is a plair
inference that he knows a good thing
when he sees it. He has given an
other illustration along this line in
the following notice of our townsman,
Clyde Potts, found in the " Bridgetor
Pioneer" of January 28th, ult.:
THE WATER DEPARTMENT.
The suggestion of Timothy Wood
ruff, commissioner of public works,
thata consulting engineer be employed
to go over the entire water works
plant, make Investigations and report
upon present situations and future re-
sources and available plans for inn
provement and extensions, was
promptly met by city council in deter
mining to engage Clyde Potts, the
New York city civil and sanitary en-
gineer.
Mr. Potts is really Jerseyman, and
while his principal offices are in New
York, his home is in Morristown, N. j.
Mr.. Potts has become somewhat a
familiar figure in Bridgeton. He was
engaged to arrange for Bridgeton a
plan for sewage disposal for the city,
to meet the demands of the state
board of health, who extravagantly
charges that local sewage is polluting
the waters of the Cohansey river. Mr..
Potts accepted an invitation to ad-
dress the commercial league upon the
sewage problem. and he impressed the
large audience who listened to him
that he was entirely familiar with the
subject and had comprehensive grasp
of the local situation. His very able
and thorough report, together with
the plans he had made for Bridgeton,
presented to city council, further illus
traUed the capacity of the man. Mr..
Potts impresses everyone that he
knows what he is talking about and
has the faculty of mparting his knowl-
edge to others.
1t Mr.. Potts becomes a consulting
engineer concerning the water system,
the people will have confidence in the
report that he finally presents. 1t is
very important tonknow if there is ad-
dltional supply of water upon the
property now occupied by the depart
ment. 1t is important to know the
best method of securing tbe water if.
IL is possible to get it. The entif
system should be carefully gone over,
its imperfections noted, and the i'm
provements necessary pointed out.
The city should know whether it is
possible to secure water from the city
park property, if it is necessary in the
future to abandon the present plant
or establish an auxiliary to it. Fol-
lowing thorough investigation by
Mr.. Potts, the people would be con-
vinced by his report, and steps taken
to improve our water system or to in
crease the supply of water based upon
his recommendations would m ee t
with approval.
1t is quite the business-like thing to
do. Nc one in Bridgeton is an author
ity upon the important problem, and
it is a matter of such grave import
that the best possible advice will alone
suffice.

A free exhibition of Fl. de Mareau's
wonderful painting, "The Village
Blacksmith" will be given on main
floor of Cowperthwait & Van Horn &C..
No. 1915 Market street, Newark, from
eight a. M. to five p. M, Saturdays,
eight a. M. to nine p. m.
fl. de Mareau, French artist, was
born in Cannes in 1859, and died in
Lyons in 1898. This picture, one of
the many freight pictures by this
artist, was completed about three
months before his death.
The size of the canvas is seven by
eight feet. 1t was painted in black
smith shop in Lyons, France. The
public did not see it for nearly year
afterward. Mareau was a very poor
man, and at the time of his death was
indebted to the blacksmith 100 francs
for his services as a model and the use
of the shop. The blacksmith, anxious
to secure what was due him, called
upon the widow, and informed her Of
| the existence OF the picture, and she
at once endeavored to sell it, After
showing it to number Of art dealers
in Paris she was offered $500 for it by
M. Doubette, and the offer was ac-
cepted. He entered the canvas at the
Grand Salon where it receive :. 'oionze
medal and was resold for $1,000. 1t
has changed hands five times since,
| each time the price increasing. The
present owner, E. M. Thalls. Of Bos-
ton, paid s42, 500 for the canvas.
When it was brought to America 1t
was first exhibited ia Wanamaker's In
Philadelphia. Since then it has been
exhibited in that city five times. II
has travelled 10000 miles in the United
States and has been viewed by over
IL .0O00 600 people, who have been per
mitted to see 1t in the big stores in
the greater American cities.

THE LEE STATUE.

The late opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral Wic..--srsham on the removal Of the
Lee statue from Statuary hall in the
capitol at Washington is legally con-
elusive Of that particular question,
and contains some very timely and
pertinent observations, also. There
was a slave-holding aristocracy at the
south, identified with the perpetuation
of negro slavery, and which dominated
politics there just as the vested Elm
terests" dominate our politics now.
That dominant class. alarmed at the
encroachment Of abolitionism, precip-
itated the south into secession as an
escape from abolitionism, not as re-
beliion to destroy the government Of
the United States. And not one per-
son of all those who served the Con-
federacy was ever brought to trial for
rebellion by the United States, though
people have beer calling them rebels"
and TRAITORS" for fifty years past.
Lee, in common with all the people
of the south, believed in the inherent
right of secession, but he did not be-
lieve it expedient at the time. How
ever, when the people of Virginia voted
overwhelmingly for secession, he
submitted to the majority, and went
with his state And now, half a CEN
fury later, if the people Of Virginia
still think him one of two Of their most
distinguished representatives, it should
be their affair alone.
