III DIE First

Published in London Illustrated New
in 1881
If l die first, dear love,
My mournful soul made free
Shall sit at Heavens high portal
To watch and wait for thee.
To watch and wait for thee, love,
And through the deep, dark space
To peer, with human longings
For thy radiant face.
Mid all the stars of Heaven,
One only shall l see
The Earth, star of my passion,
Half Heaven for holding thee
All Heaven for holding thee. love,
And brightest of the spheres,
By thy dear smile illumined,
Or hallowed by thy tears.
If | die first, dear love,
feel that this shall be,
For Heaven will not be Heaven
Until it's shared with thee
Until it's shared with thee, love,
I'll linger at the gate
Or be thy guardian angel
To teach thee how to wait.
And when thine hour shall come,
And through rhe yielding night
| e thy happy spirit
Up-soaring, robed in light,
Mine shall go forth to meet thee,
And through the eternal door
Pass in with thee, rejoicing,
Made one fOrevermore.

10 tnem as their report to be submitted
70 the legislature without comment,
Mr.. Boyce submitted to the Committee
a speech covering seven pages of type-
written matter. This speech is replete
with errors from beginning to end and
which is in absolute conflict with the
report made by Mr.. Crook, and every
member of the committee knows hat 4
is absolutely full of errors from Bovce;s
own statement and testimony before
the committee.
For instance, he says: We have
gwen you the benefit of the oripina!
records IN our possession in eny way
pertaining to the states cotton, a
ticularly the original invoices to us
showing the weight of cotton for which
we paid the state, ETC.. and every mem
Der OF the comr.ittee knows that he
never furnished any such papers, but.
on the contrary, testified that he had
no such papers.
"Mr. Lewis Crook stated before the
committee, in the presence of Mr..
boyce, In response to questions from
me, that Mr.. Boyce had brought no
original records, in fact absolutely
nothing to show how much cotton had
been purchased from the state, or what
ne had paid for it except documents
made by him and his employees: that
ne did no bring the scratch of a pen
from the parties to whom he had sold
the cotton to show from that end of
the line what he sold the cotton for, or
what it weighed, grade or staple, and
that he gave nothing by which you
check him at the other end of the
line; that he began in the middle and

the cotton in England the original in

of the state against him, and

Gated on the Burnham tract. As the
fire was outside the town limits,
Chief Day, after notified of the blaze,
ordered the automobile chemical en-
gine to the scene but was soon in
formed that the blaze was beyond
control by chemicals. He then order
ed out the Humane's auto pumping
engine and with Assistant Chief
Sharrette in command two lines were
laid from hydgants and streams
played ON the blaze quickly getting
it extinguished
The house was damaged to the
amount of $1,000, while Mr. Quimby' S
loss on furniture aggregates 5000.
The town carried insurance on the
house which was a frame structure.
Chief Day is of the opinion that the
fire originated from defective chin
ney.
The pumping engine had some hard
luck. After laying two lines of hose
the apparatus skidded off the narrow
stretch of .amiesite in the middle OF
the road and the rear wheels sank
to their hubs in the mud. The COM
pany worked until four O'Clock in an
endeavor to get the apparatus out
but finally had to give it up. Street
| Commissioner Frapwell was appealed
to and he responded with a wagon
load of planks, several jacks and a
gang of laborers. After three hours
work the machine was extricated
from the mud and was back on duty
soon after.
There was fire at the home OF
Thomas J. O'Keefe, Mendham road

roof caught fire from an over-heated
chimney. The blaze was extinguished

TEACHERS MAXIMUM SALARY
PLAN UNDER CONSIDERATION
Board of Education Discusses Plan
That May Mean Economies
in Teachers Payments.

Deciding that further consideration
should be given to the discussion OF
setting a maximum in regard to tea
chers' salaries, the board of education
adjourned Friday night to meet again
in special session. Commissioner
G. Franklin Wilson, of the committee
on education introduced the matter.
He offered a scale showing how the
maximum would work For the grades
from the first to the sixth $3.50
would be the maximum, from the
seventh to the eighth, 81 900, for
women teachers of the high school,
81 200, and for male teachers of the
high school, $1,400. Mr. Wilson said
this system worked in other schools
and ought to work here. 1t would
mean saving to the board in the
event that if a high salaried teacher
dropped out one could be hired at a
small salary and be instructed and
another of the teachers that remained
who Was eligible could be advanced.
1--WE can't expect TO compete with
Newark, New York, Montclair or
Plainfield to hold our teachers said
Mr.. Wilson, But this scale will
bring our maximum just little lowe
than that of Plainfield and Engle-
wood"
The recommendation of Commission
er w. Parsons Todd that three pieces
of brass be purchased to stop the
incessant flow of water in the toilets
at the Maple Avenue school building
was referred to the committee on
maintenance MIR. Todd also reported
that the committee, met the repres-
entativa of thp New York Telephone
company, who appeared before the
board at its last meeting relative to
the changing OF poles at the Speed
we'll avenue and Liberty street
schools, and decided not to allow the
company to do this work. In both
cases the latter wanted to bring poles
from the opposite side OF the street
