NEWFANE
Farnum Carriage shop Burned.

Fire was discovered at the carriage
repairing and blacksmith shop of a. IL.
Farnum, about 1890 o'clock Sunday. An
alarm was given and although many
quickly responded the fire had made such
Roadway that they were unable to save
the building or any of the contents.
Much credit is due all who worked so
hard to prevent the fire from reaching
our new schoolhouse, as the shed be-
tween the two buildings caught fire. BY
the use of fire eNtinguishers and water
brought from the brook nearby the
shed was only partly burned, which I'M
doubtedly kept the fire from extending
to the school building. a watch was
kept thu ough the night by Fred Best and
Albert Jefts.
The building and contents were valued
at about $500 and were insured for about
$500. Much sympathy is felt for Mr..
Farnum in his loss, and it is hoped that
he will rebuild and arrange to continue
his business in our village.

VENETIAN WOMEN.
The Whims of Fashion Hold No Ter
rors For Them.

The Whims of Fashion Hold No Ter
rors For Them.
The women of Venice are absolutely
free from the rule which Dame Fash
ion exercises over their sisters else
where. They care nothing for modes.
With them the length of the skirt re-
mains always the same, neither short
nor long, and they always ear plainly
made dark dresses, black stockings and
the heelless slippers of the east. Hats
are unknown.
The universal outdoor wrap for all
ages and all sizes Is the black shawl,
with a deep silken fringe. 1t is folded
with a short point above and a long
one below, and sometimes it envelopes
the figure from head to foot. 1t is new
er fastened at the throat, and when 1t
slips off 1t is gathered up with n out
stretched arm; which makes the spec
tator think of q big bird stretching its
wing.
In their attire the women of Venice
are independent, only wearing local
clothing, but with feminine ~inconsist-
ency they are thoroughly up to date
in the matter of hairdressing, the style
Of their coidurcs changing from time
to time, according to the vogue Of The
moment III London and Paris.

To Husband and Wife.

Preserve sacredly the priyacies of
your W house, your married state
and your heart. Let no father or
mother or sister or brother ever pre-
sumo to come between you or share
the joys or sorrows that belong to you
two alone. .
With mutual help build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest
earthly friends to be the confidant of
aught that concerns your domestic
peace. Let moments Of alienation, II
they occur, be healed at one Never,
no, never, speak Of it outside, but to
each other confess, and all will come
out right. Never let the morrOw's
sun still find you at variance. Renew
and renew your vow 1t will do you
good, and thereby your minds will
grow together contented in that love
which is stronger than death, and you
will be truly educational Magazine.

WILSON is BUSY

Democratic Candidate to
Resume Campaigning In
Trenton Tomorrow.
DEMOCRATIC COUNTIES
Especial Correspondence.

NopSSAoI OOROA0ShCtsJ
Trenton, Oct. 17:-After spending
today and tomorrow attending to
personal and college affairs at
Princeton, DR.. Woodrow Wilson will
resume his campaigning for the gov
ernorship in this city tomorrow
night when he will be the guest of
honor at the monster reception ar
ranged by the Democratic League of
Trenton. The affair will take place
IN Masonic hall, and will be the first
of its kind hat DR.. Wilson has en-
countered in his Swing around the
circle"
More than passing interest centers
in this affair because those who are
carrying it out were the bitterest OPP
ponents of DR.. Wilson in the primary
campaign.
The morning following his recep-
tion here DR.. Wilson will begin a
three days invasion of counties fam
Gus In New Jersey political affairs as
rock-ribbed in democracy. Wednes-
day he will be in Hunterdon, with a
speech In Pennington at night;
Thursday he will cross over to War
rem, winding up the day in Phillips
burg, and Friday Sussex will be
campaigned.
The Board of Trustees of Prince
ton University is scheduled to meet
Thursday, al which time it is expect
ed that DR.. Wilson will present his
resignation as president of the insti-
tuition. Governor Fort may preside
at this meeting of the trustees, as
under the charter granted the Col
lege of New Jersey, as the Princeton
institution was originally called, the
governor of New Jersey is ex-officio
a member of the Board of Trustees
and when he attends meetings of the
board 1t is his duty to preside. Thus,
in the event of the election of DR..
Wilson as governor, he will retain
an official and important connection
with the university.

TO TAKE MATTER UP
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, Oct. 17:-Representa-
tives of the Board of Trade and the
Commuters League of New Bruins
wick intercepted Governor Fort on
his way to attend a meeting of the
Board OF Trustees of Rutgers Col
lege to lodge a complaint against At
torney General Wilson in connection
with the fight against the Pennsyl-
Vania railroad for lower commuta-
ton rates between New Brunswick
and Metuchen and New York. AS
already told, there has been some
sharp correspondence between the
attorney general and the New
Brunswick organizations concerning
proceedings before the interstate
commerce commission at Washing
ton. On Saturday the governor was
told that the attorney general had
not only been dilatory in pushing
the complaint of the commuters be-
fore the federal authorities but in
addition to this had been discour-
teous and impolite in some of the
correspondence that has been going
on.
Already greatly exercised. be-
cause their complaints are not being
pushed 10 an issue before the inter
state commerce commission through
the offices Of the attorney general
n the State Public Utility Commits
sion, the commuters are further in
censed by the recent statement that
1t will be some time yet before hear
1ngs can be resumed at Washington.
The governor made a memorandum
OF the complaints informally pre-
sented to him Saturday and assured
those at the interview that he would
Immediately take up the question
with the attorney general. He said
that he personally felt that the
grievance of the commuters was a
just n and hat he regretted that
the state could not deal directly with
them instead of going TO Washing
ton on account of the traffic being
interstate.

ALL CLAMOR
FOR GRIGGS
Demand from All Sections
OF State for Former Gov
ernor to Speak.
STOKES FEELS SIGHTED
Especial Correspondence


trenton, Oct. 17:-Senator
Briggs, chairman of the republican
state committee, Is being besieged
with requests from all parts of the
state to assign former Governor
John w. Griggs as a speaker for re-
publican mass meetings that are be-
ing arranged to advance the candi-
dacy of Vivian M. Lewis for govern
or. The idea seems to prevail among
many of the county republican lead
ers that Mr.. Griggs is the big ora
torical gun whose services are great
ly needed in the G.. o. P. camp, and
the one man who is especially fitted
to effectively answer the arguments
made upon the stump by Woodrow
Wilson.
Considerable comment is heard
here on the fact that the campaign
is now three weeks old, and one-half
over, and the voice of former Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes has not yet
been raised at any big mass meeting
in favor of the election of Mr.. Lewis.
TVS is not the fault of Mr.. Stokes,
however. He is ready and willing
to take the stump for the gubernato-
r1cal candidate, and would gladly
have made several speeches before
this date II arguments to that end
had been made by those running the
organization. Mr.. Stokes has fig
ured in a prominent and influential
manner In republican state cam
paigns and has long been rated as
among the best of the New Jersey
republican orators. Even now he is
vice-chairman of the republican
state committee. The headquarters
of the committee in this city are just
across the street from where Mr..
Stokes spends all of his business
hours as the president of the Me-
chanic's National Bank, but he has
no more to do with the organization
affairs Of his party in this campaign
than an outsider. Senator Briggs is
courteous enough to him, but he
does not seek his advice in political
management as in the past.
The effort to keep Mr.. Stokes in
the background during the cam
paign is due to Kean-Baird-Briggs
influences, and is designed to weak
en- his prestige and strength as a
candidate for the United States
senate.
Incidentally, the republican lead
ers have abandoned the idea of try
ing to get Theodore Roosevelt to
come over into New Jersey and de-
liver a speech during the campaign.

ers and deacons and escorted to the
pew assigned to him.
Rev. DR.. James l.. Amerman, the
