are not only available for making a

which make them more valuable than

r. Ellsworth Alexander Writes o1
Life in South America.

R. Ellsworth Alexander, formerly
a resident Of this town and at one
time connected with the "Jerseyman"
office, is now in New Armenia, Hon
duras, Central America, and is as
sistant to the general manager of the
Honduras Rubber company They are
building eleven miles of railroad into
their mahogany reservation which is
one of the finest on the American
continent, the logs being worth from
$1,000 to $4,000 apiece.
Mr.. Alexander writes that it is a
beautiful country, with healthy eli
mate for those who will live right.
The temperature varies little the
year around, being cooler in summer
than in New York city. While the
sun is hot, sunstrokes are unknown,
and the breeze that blows all day
from the ocean and all night from
the mountains makes it necessary to
sleep under Blankets almost every
night in the year. The natives he
describes as being shiftless, back
ward and without ambition The
scenery is beautiful, with mountains
5000 feet in height on one side and
on the other the ocean with lovely
palm-fringed islands. Mr.. Alexander
went to Honduras early last autumn.

TALKS ON GARBAGE DISPOSAL.
Explanation Made by Mr.. Machlach
Ian of Machines Workings.

Asserting that a garbage disposal
plant would be paying proposition
for Morristown Angus Machlachlan,
speaking in the auditorium of the
Maple avenue school building, told
his auditors that a plant could be Sc
cured for $4,000 exclusive of the
cost of the site and the building.
The meeting was held under the au-
spices of the Women's Town Improve
ment committee and though he was
announced to speak upon the topic
of garbage disposal in general way
Mr.. Machlachlan devoted his time to
explaining particular type of plant
in which he was interested and an
swered questions about its operation.
The garbage, he said, could be col
lected and dried for $3.50 per ton and
the dried product finds a ready mar
ket as fertilizer at from SIS to Sc
per ton. Two air tight tanks drawn
by horses or motor driven would be
sufficient to collect all the garbage
of the town. The water from the
garbage, said the speaker, could be
turned into a brook without danger
of communicating the waters.
After listening to Mr.. Maclachlan,
pictures of several of Morristown's
dumps" were shown by means of a
stereopticon and were commented up
on by Mrs. E. Kirk Haskell. Mrs.
Frederick R. Kellogg presided over
the meeting

ARREST OF LEADER SQuELcHES
RAILROAD LAsoRERs' STRIKE.
Italians on Lackawanna Demand In
crease of Paw and Threaten
Trouble Until Police Come.

The arrest and jailing of their
leader took all the ardor out of a
gang of forty striking Italian laborers
on the Lackawanna railroad work
here on Monday. The men, part of
a gang of 100 under Foreman John
Butler, came up from Hoboken where
they had spent Sunday and mixed
in with those already at work de-
manding that they should go out on
a strike. Butler, armed with a jack
stick, went for the leader and or
dered him away. The man did not
go and the other strikers threatened
Butler so the latter appealed for
police aid.
Patrolman Jennings responded and
Pastala Rebecca was pointed out as
the man to be arrested. Jennings
went into the crowd of strikers, got
Rebecca and started for pslice head
quarters with him when the strikers
made demonstration against the
officer Jennings, though one against
forty, pluckily held on to his prisoner.
He pulled out his revolver and over
awing the crowd brought his man
to headquarters where he was COM
mitted to Jail by Justice Pierson for
five days for disorderly conduct.
The chief of the railroad detectives
and several of his men arrived soon
after and after a conference with the
strikers requested that Rebecca be
released as the men had promised to
return to Hoboken and make no more
trouble if he was allowed to go free.
The payment of a fine was accepted
and Rebecca and his companions left
town
The men demanded an increase of
pay from sixteen cents per hour to
$175 per day.

SUBURBANS HERE
FOR FIRST GAME.
Base Ball Season Starts on
Saturday at SpGedWeII Field.

The baseball season will open in
Morristown on Saturday when the
Morristowns will play the Suburbans,
of New York. Assemblyman James
j. Lyons will be invited to throw the
first ball over the plate and formally
inaugurate the season. The Morris
town team will be good one.
Michael Doyle, Louis West, James
Maloney and Walter Swenson, the
players who are handling the Satur-
day and holiday baseball this season,
have secured a strong aggregation
to back them up. George Lacey, the
local southpaw, was asked to pitch
for the locals and good inducements
were offered him but Lace" is OF
the opinion that he would prefer to
pitch elsewhere than his home town
and after considering the offer for
week decided against playing here.
In his stead the locals will probably
trot out Tommy Ryan, the New
Yorker who played several games
with Morristown last season. Ryan
is in fine form right now, for last
Saturday, pitching for the Falcons
at South Orange, he held the heavy
hitting South Orange Field club to
five safeties and struck out eleven,
the Falcons winning by a score of
eight to three.
Ogden S. Collins, the peppery Rock
away boy, will be behind the bat.
Jimmy" Maloney will probably cov-
er first base; Walter Swenson, Sec
ond base; Louis West, short stop;
Michael Doyle, third base, captain
and manager; and in the outfield will
be Frank Millen, Arthur Stelce, 90"
Markey and John Horgan, the latter
a phenom from Owego who is work
ing in town and who has been un-
covered by Walter Swenson. AS an
extra pitcher "Bill" Totten, of the
Orange B. B. c., may be given a
chance with the team. ABE Ruch-
lin, the Newark southpaw, is anxi-
GUS to get on the local team.
The new management is making
improvements to the grounds. Though
the two tent shows left the diamond
in bad shape men are at work level
ing it off and all will be shipshape
by Saturday. Flagg Vogt made a
survey of the diamond and found that
second base was two feet higher
than the home plate. This is being
remedied. The grandstand and fence
have been painted dark green, ad-
dftional seats provided in the out
field and the grounds cleared of the
winters accumulation of rubbish.
The Suburbans are expected to
provide a good game for the opener.
Last year this team was beaten by
Morristown four to one in a fast
and snappy game. Scoppa and Sale
were the battery for the New Workers
and Crowell and Ahles worked for
Morristown. Morristown touched up
Scoppa for ten hits, while Crowell
was banged for seven.
Upon his return from Pennington
at the close of the school season
Victor Boell, who is athletic instruc-
tor at boys school in the South
Jersey town, may be found a place
ON the team.

A NORRIS COUNTY STORY.
A New Book by DR.. Frederick w
Becker, Of Newark.

A novel, in which the plot is laid
in Morris county, has just been pub
lished by DIR. Frederick W. Becker,
of Newark, a former Morris county
boy, and graduate from our schools.
The title is "The Home Rule of
Eliza and has to do with COM
munity called by the author "Hoss
HILL From first page to last the
book is very readable. 1t has humor
a-plenty, with accompanying touches
of pathos, and both humor and pathos
are we'll intermingled to bring out
DR.. Becker's main object-the en-
phasizing of the benefits resulting
from the sensible and kindly care
taken of dependent children.
The children in question are the
town wards, and fortunate it is for
them that Eliza, the character re-
ferred to, is made by the township
committee matron of the "Hoss Hill
Poorhouse." Eliza is character,
and no mistake. Readers have be-
come tolerably familiar, of recent
years, with the self-reliant, shrewd
and kindly woman, who, in story af-
ter story, has been cast for the part
of the modern good fairy, bringing
sunshine into the lives of those about
her, correcting mistakes and, in a
word, making the world the happier
and better for her presence.
The characters are given names
familiar in this county and the dia-
lect reminds one of the style of
conversation in certain circles half
century ago. The book is illustrated
by H. G. Green. Published by the
Platt & Peck Co., New York. s1.0O

$500 DAMAGE AT SUNDAY FIRE.
Rosen's Grocery Suffers from Blaze
Firemen Do Good Work.

Fire damaged the Rosen grocery
store, No. 104 Speedwell avenue,
Sunday afternoon to the amount of
$500 on the stock and $1,000 on the
building. The flames We're discov-
cred about five-thirty and an alarm
was turned in from box No. 28 by
Charles Bodine. Smoke was pouring
from the building when the firemen
arrived but they soon had the fire
under control, four lines of hose
pouring water upon the blaze while
streams from the chemical engine
assisted in the work of extinguishing
the fire
Chief Day made an investigation
after the fire and found the blaze
had started among a lot of brooms.
The origin is unknown. Several chill
dren, it is said, were playing in the
building just before the fire broke
out and were reported to have been
seen running from the building. The
property was fully insured.

From seventy-five to one hundred
members of the Y. M. c. A. Woman's
auxiliary and their friends were the
guests of DR.. and Mrs. e. Moore
Fisher at the state hospital on
Wednesday evening. The gathering
was in the ballroom of the annex
where a program was rendered. DR..
Britton d. Evans made a felicitous
address of welcome, Mrs. John J..
Gill gave vocal solos, Miss Martha
Voigt and Miss Beers gave recita-
tions and Miss Phillips rendered
piano solos. The pleasure of the oc-
casion was much enhanced by the
music of the hospital orchestra led
by Prof. Grailey, which with the fine
floor was irresistible to the young
folks and dancing was in order. Re-
freshments were served and every
body went away with the opinion
that the affair was great success.
