TOWN HAS SECURED
POCAHONTAS POND
Associations Offer of Lease
Of Property Accepted

Mayor Arthur s. Pierson took in
hand the offer of the Pocahontas
Pond association of its lease of the
pond property and on Saturday se-
cured the signing over of the lease
to the town. Counsel Charlton A.
Reed, for the town. drew up the nee
essary legal papers and the town is
now in possession of the place. The
lease has five years to run.
Eney Grupelli has made the nee
essary repairs to the dam and the
pond will be in fine shape for boating
and bathing this spring.
That the town has the right under
the charter to take the property is
asserted by Counsel Charlton A. Reed
Section TX of the town charter reads
TO regulate protect and improve the
parks and other public grounds in
said town" Section X provides that
the town may provide lamp and gas
fixtures and to light the streets, parks
and public grounds of every descrip-
tion in the town.
The dam is of concrete with con-
crete wing walls. An earthen EN-
bankment close to H. G.. EmmeIl's
property was in danger of being wash
ed away if there is any great rise in
the waters. The original dam was built
over a century ago. Before that time
there was smaller pond with a dam
nearly back of Mr.. Thompson's resi-
dence on Speedwell avenue. This
was for the purpose of furnishing
power to Col Benoni Hathaway's
mill.
James Wood, an extensive real es~
tate operator OF those days, purchase
the land making up the pond bl. in
and ste of the mill and paper NIL
was erected.
Wood sold the property to Nathaniel
R. Phillips. Dayton L. Garfield owned
the property for time and then the
Messrs. Kay got possession. John
c., William and Alexander Kay made
paper there in partnership with Will
lam Henderson and they also oper-
ated paper mills at Morris Plains and
Whippany.
The late DR.. 7. B. Flagler took
title to the property in 1859 and the
paper mill was transformed into a
| grist mill and distillery and SO con-
tinued for some years. The grist
mill was abandoned when former
Sheriff Edgar L. Durling moved out.
Also on the property was the Tomp-
kins soap factory which is now used
as dwelling house, while the mill
site is now a part of the public play
ground
The old dam was built of logs and
stones and was washed away in the
freshet of 1896 when all the lower
section of the town was inundated
ana the Albeit avenue bridge was
washed down stream. Five years agt
Mr.. Thompson conceived the idea oi
eho uain anu plONlulnS
place for the young people to enjoy
skating, boating, bathing and Other
water sports. He associated severa
others with him and after long anC
strenuous effort secured suffieien
funds to build the dam. 1t was com
pleted on December 18th, 1906, ant
pleted in December 18th, 1909, ant
week later skating was enjoyed Oh

The Circus Is Coming.

Though Morristown has reputa-
ton among circus men of being a
good circus town the pleasures of such
entertainments have been denied it
for years by the Lackawanna rail
roads refusal to haul circuses over
its lines in this section. When ad-
vance agents of wild.west show ard
a circus came to town to-day and
booked their attractions for May Sth
and 10th, respectively, there was
much joy not only among the small
boys but among many large boys as
well. The shows will exhibit on the
Speedwell avenue grounds and are
each rated as twelve-car shows.

CH|NA'S GREAT WALL
Wonder of World Is Literally Wall
of Blood.
For Twensy.one Centuries Il Has Re-
maInsd the Most Amazing Con.
struotion Of Human Hands-
Builders Name Cursed.

Pekin.-Best known by repute Of
all the wonders of tho world. the great
wall Of China has remained for 21
centuries the most amazing construc-
ton of human hands. Ruined and
broken as It is. 1t Is clear at first
sight that the amount Of human labor
required to build this majestic barrier
IS without parallel on earth. Fifteen
hundred miles long. with additional
loops that add another 1000 miles.
there wero originally $4,000 watch
towers upon It.
The wall was built at the end Of the
third century before Christ by the
first, and perhaps the greatest. Of all
Chinese emperors. Che-Hwang-te,
prince of Tsin. succeeded as q boy to
the throne Of . comparatively small
Kingdom and at once began to put
into a state Of order and defence .
territory that long had been allowed
to degenerate into moro prey to an.
nual northern invaders. After . few
years the young king assumed the
style Of emperor end organised the
forces Of what for the frst time in
history was China. For he at once
gave to tho whole Of this now empire
the name of his own small state. He
then marched out against tho Tar
tars. his hereditary and perennial
enemies in tho north. After routing
these marauding pests he was re-
called for tho usual oriental need Of

A WIDOWS LUCK
Cult the Thing That Was Slowly In
Iurinq Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
II suffered for many years chiefly
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, l did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
I was a widow and had q child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
hted by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. I grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappear i, gained in flesh. and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
Of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out Of my mouth!
Then I again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.
"It was seven years ago that l be-
gan to use Postum and am using 1t
still, and shall continue to do so, as
find 1t a guarantee of good health"
