is RESCUED BY FIREMEN.

Perched in a tree for three days, a
cat belonging to Mrs. William P.
Flanders, of 81 Beech street, East Or
ange. was rescued Saturday night by
two f1remen Of the city. who were COM
PEELED to use a S4-foot ladder to reach
the feline.
Mrs. Flanders had been mourning the
loss of the cat and while sitting in a
room upstairs her attention was at
tracted by faint cries of a cat. She
traced the cats call to the tree, the
branches of which extended over the
porch. She consulted the police, but
their suggestion to throw snowballs at
the feline did not meet with the ap-
prevail Of Mrs. Flanders and she called
on The fire department.
1t was necessary for Firemen Dew
stoe and Rupert to employ the serv-
ices and suggestions of Mrs Flanders,
to reach the animal, and finally, after
passing 1t from one to another, and
then into the hands of Mrs. Flanders.

due in a great measure to the old set
tiers who believed in religious liberty.
This liberty he termed the foundation
of good government. He asserted that
he did not agree with the people OF

men of a century ago were narrow
minded. These men were very broad
in their views, he declared.
Former Governor Fort said: THE
naming of this town after Governor
Bloomfield means that the town stands
for courage, citizenship and fidelity"
The act of the Legislature creating
the town of Bloomfield was read by
Frederick NJ. Davis, chairman of the
centennial celebration committee. AT
that time the township of Bloomfield
comprised Belleville, Nutley. Montclair,
Glen Ridge and the Forest Hill section
of this city.
An organ prelude was played by Miss
Laura Ward. Rev. DR.. George Louis
Curtis offered the prayer. The High
School glee club and orchestra. under
the direction of Professor Peter J..
Smith, furnished the music of patriotic
