These reports were referred to the Sec
retary-General and ordered printed.
A motion that all resolutions offered in
the convention be referred to a commit
tee was very warmly debated and on
final vote declared lost.
At the stroke of 1 o’clock President
Whitehead, on behalf of the New Jersey
Society, suggested adjournment and in
vited the delegates to luncheon, which
had been spread in the large dining room
adjoining. The suggestion met with im
mediate compliance, and the elegant
luncheon was enjoyed to the full.
Following the lunch there was a half
hour of social intercourse, and the so
•ciety was recalled and business resumed
shortly after 2 o’clock. First in order
was a strong resolution indorsing the
policy of the Administration in the con
flict between the United States and
Spain, which was unanimously adopted
and copies ordered sent to President Mc
Kinley, Vice President Hobart, Speaker
Reed of the House of Representatives,
Secretary of War Alger and Secretary of
Navy Long.
The resolution was heartily received
and many members spoke in its favor.
Among them were Dr. E. M. Gallaudet,
District of Columbia; President Richard
son of Ohio, Col. Prime of New York,
all insisting upon the righteousness of the
war and the lofty aim of the United
States in raising its hand for humanity
and liberty in the unselfish interest of
its neighbor. There were also several
brief speeches in eulogy of General Fitz
hngh Lee. and a memorial calling upon
the President to appoint him a Major
General of Volunteers was adopted.
Election of officers occupied the greater
portion of the afternoon session, and re
sulted as follows:
President-General, Col. Edwin S. Bar
Tett of Boston (re-elected);' Vice-presi
dents General, Hon. Franklin Murphy,
Gen. Joseph C. Breckinridge, Gen. Thos.
Thos. M. Anderson. J. M. Richardson,
and Hon. John Whitehead of Morris
town; Secretary General, Samuel E.
Gross of Illinois; Treasurer General,
Charles W. Haskins; Registrar General,
A. Howard Clark; Historian General,
Henry Hall; Chaplain, R. W. Clark of
Detroit.
Hon. Franklin Murphy was named for
President General, but declined the nom
ination in favor of the re-election of
Colonel Barrett. The nomination of
President Whitehead, named “because
of his high character, eminent ability
and long devotion and loyalty to the so
ciety,” brought out great applause,
which was continued for several
minutes. It was made by General
Busling of New Jersey, who made a
strong speech for Mr. Whitehead. Many
were on their feet at once to second the
nomination. Mr. Hancock of Pennsyl
vania referred to Mr. Whitehead’s good
work for the society at the late Cincin
nati convention, taking the leading part
in the transaction looking to a union of
the two societies. Dr. Benjamin of New
Jersey spoke of Mr. Whitehead as the
“soul of the New Jersey society, as well
as the guiding star of the national so
ciety: a man distinguished before the
bar as a litterateur and historian;” one
who had devoted his life in its ripest
years to the good of the society. The
vote was unanimous and cheers were
given and repeated.
The selection of the place for the next
annual meeting was left to the judgment
of the Board of Managers. A number of
letters and telegrams were read from
citizens and associations in Detroit,
Mich., asking for the congress, and that
place will probably be selected. The
society voted to send delegates to the
celebration of the South Carolina Society
to be held at Charleston May 18. An
other motion instructed the President
General to appoint a committee of five to
propose designs for a flag or ensign to be
used by the society. A meeting of the
Board of Managers was held at the close
of the session.
In the early evening the delegates,
members of the New Jersey Society and
guests, numbering in all about one hun
dred and twenty, sat down to a banquet
in the McAlpin Hall. No more elabor
ate or delightful affair was ever wit
nessed in Morristown. The hall was
handsomely hung with flags and color
decorations, the heroic full portrait
of General Washington with the
Headqnarters in background, now own
ed by Frank H. Fairchild, draped with
the stars and stripes, occupied one side of
the hall, and all about the walls were
hung pictures and insignia of Revolu
tionary days. The dinner was in itself
a most rich and elaborate one, served by
Day, the Morristown caterer, in excellent
order, as follows:
Little Neck Clams. Water Cresses,
i Soup.
Mock Turtle. Sauterne.
Fish.
Boiled Salmon. Tartar Sauce.
Hollandaise Potatoes
Sweetbread CannelonB.
Pontet Canet. French Peas.
Fillet of Beef. Mushroom Sauce.
Petato Croquettes. String Beans.
Amontllado.
Roman Punch. Cigarettes.
Roast Capon.
Currant Jelly. Bouche Potatoes.
Champagne.
Lettuce Salad with Tomatoes.
Ice Cream. Strawberries.
Fancy Cake, Wine Jelly, Bon-Bons.
Cigars.
Coffee.
With the passing of the final courses,
the galleries were thrown open to the
public and a large number of ladies,
wives and friends of the banqueters, were
seated for the enjoyment of the speeches
which followed. President Whitehead
presided. An obligation to take early
train for New York necessitated the
immediate call for remarks from Presi
dent-General Barrett. “We have had a
delightful time in New Jersey,” he said,
and proceeded to extend earnest thanks
to the State Society for its unequalled
entertainment. Continuing, he said :
“We were born in historic States and
our ancestors distinguished themselves
on historic fields. To-day the shadow of
war is upon the nation. We had our
trouble with England 123 years ago; to
day England is our ally, and the Anglo
Saxon race dominates the world. Eng
land and the United States united can
defy the world on land or sea. Gentle
men. we have to face to-day a great
patriotic duty, and the patriotism of
America is aroused from Maine to Cali
fornia. We must sustain the nation • and
our President, William McKinley.
(Cheers). Our society stands to-day for
all that is noble and patriotic, and in full
belief and desire that every American
s hall do his patriotic duty.”
Next came a stirring patriotic address
from President Whitehead, who
opened his remarks with thanks to his
compatriots for election to the office of
vice president general, saying: “I arise
with heartfelt gratitude for the honor
you have done me to-day. Memory of the
ovation you rendered to me to-day
will remain so long as life shall
last.” He warmly welcomed the
patriots to Morristown, on ground
“sacred to the memories of that
immortal man, General George Wash
ington, peerless above all other men,
on the 30th of April, the anniversary of
the inauguration of the first President
of the United States.” With these
words of introduction Mr. Whitehead
briefly, but very vividly, narrated the
important events of the Revolution, lead
ing to General Washington’s first visit to
Morristown, where, in the winter of ’77,
he occupied as his headquarters for
seven months the building known as the
Arnold Tavern, owned by Maj. Jacob
Arnold of the famous Light Horse In
fantry, since owned by Compatriot
Philip H. Hoffman, and m 1890 pur
chased by a patriotic lady of Morristown
—Mrs. Julia Keese Colies, removed to
Mt. Kemble avenue and remodeled into
the All Souls’ Hospital. At the call of
the speaker, the banqueters arose and
drank to the honor of Mrs. Colles, who
was seated in the gallery. Proceeding
in his address, Mr. Whitehead mentioned
as another point of historic interest in
New Jersey, the site of the beacon fires
and location of the signal gun “Old*
Sow” at Summit, used to warn the
army at Morristown of the approach of
the enemy. The New Jersey Society has
recently erected a monument marking
the spot. Next Mr. Whitehead called
attention to the Washington Headquar
ters, where the meetings of the day had
been held, being the old Ford mansion
occupied as “Headquarters” by General
Washington during the winter of ’79-’80,
relating, in connection with the encamp
ment of the American soldiers at Morris
town the story of Mrs. Rhoda Farrand,
who drove from house to house calling
upon thejadies to knit stockings for the
soldiers, her own hands working rapidly
as she went among old Morris county
farm houses, some of which served as
store houses of good things for the soldier
during those trying times. He mentioned
the place of Silas Condit on the north of
Sussex avenue the old brick house on
Mendham avenue now occupied by E.
E. Laws, the Wick farm where the
family’s pet horse was been stabled in
the ladies’ bedroom in order to escape re
quisition by the American army. Other
points equally important were alluded
to, and when Mr. Whitehead halted the
members cried “go on, go on,” and at the
close t hey cheered heartily in his honor.
Vice Chancellor H. C. Pitney was the
next speaker being introduced as a
descendant of a Morris county patriot
who fought in the Revolution.
Mr. Pitney claimed that he was a
grandson of a Revolutionary soldier.
His ancestors were privates in
the Revolutionary army—plain, farm
er boys—and he was proud of it.
This is why he took for his topic ‘'Pride
of Ancestry,” and pointed out that the
present gathering, in the name of patri
otic ancestors, should teach those present
to so live that their children shall be
proud of them—proud not only of those
who exposed their lives in war, but of
those who had lived nobly and well and
had been of service to the world. Mr.
Pitney’s address was full of the earnest
ness and patriotic zeal that have charac
terized his words and his actions during
a long and useful life.
Mr. Whitehead here proposed a toast
to the -Society of the Daughters of the
A. R., which was taken rising.
Dr. E. M. Gallaudet, who had been
prominent in the proceedings of the day,
was the next speaker, and centered his
remarks upon the war with Spain and
the duty of the United States. He dwelt
| interestingly upon the cruelty and bar
barity of the Spanish nation in the treat
ment of its subjects and called on all
Americans to do all in their power to
overcome the power of Spain. That
they are doing and will do it was evi
denced in the warm applause.
Another strong and eloquent address
was that of Rev. Dr. Clark of Detroit on
“The Soldiers and Sailors of the Great
Northwest.” Dr. Clark told of the early
settlement of Ohio and the other States
of the Central West by Revolutionary
patriots, dwelt enthusiastically upon
their patriotic zeal and their service to
their country, noting the favored sons of
the Republic who had come from that
region, such as Sherman, Grant, Mc
Clellan, Lincoln and McKinley.
Rev. Dr. Buckley was the last speaker
of the evening, and his remarks were ex
cellently well given, and received with
continued applause. His subject was
the “Three Degrees of Patriotism,” and
by way of preface, he gave a brief ac
count of his own ancestry, showing that
he was descendant of “both sides”—his
maternal grandfather having fought in
the Revolutionary army and his father’s
grandfather as a soldier in the British
army. His first degree of patriotism
was represented in the American citizen
who “goes straight along, minds his own
business, supports his family and pays
his taxes.” He is the bone and sinew of
the land and will do, if he will wake up
once in a while when his country needs
him. A second degree man must
have these qualities and a
genuine and continuous enthusiasm, so
that no matter where he is, in time of
war or peace, the very name of his coun
try stirs him up. If he happens to go to
Europe and hears a sneer at America,
he must be a man that will stand and
fight it out. A walk of six miles in any
country of the Old World would give
him occasion to prove that his country
was superior in freedom, intelligence,
territory and rapidity of progress to any
nation on earth, and to say all that a man
required genuine patriotism. In his
opinion there was only one thing in the
world worse than a sneer, and that was
“an English grunt.” A third degree
patriot would put his country before
all and be willing to sacrifice every
thing for his native land. Touching
the war question, Dr. Buckley said
he had been against war until Con
gress had declared that it existed,
and therefore it was his duty as a
patriot of the third degree to join in the
support of bis country, and therefore
as a patriot he was ready to have
flour go up, butter or anything else,' and
put stamps on all he used and, if neces
sary, fight for his country. A patriot of
the third degree, when the time requires
it, will neglect his private affairs for the
sake of his country, for if the country
goes what will become of every man’s
private affairs ?
The exercises closed with the expres
sion by President Whitehead, on behalf
of the New Jersey Society, of thanks to
the delegates for their visit to Morris
town and he wished all a sincere good
night.
MORRIS COUNTY COURTS.
Appointment of Graud Jury and Disposi

Tuesday was the opening day of the
May term of the several Morris County

The regular meeting of the Morris
County Branch of the State Charities
Aid Association was held iu the Y. M.
C. A. building Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting was opened with prayer by
Dr. A. Erdrnan. The treasurer’s report
showed balance of $316.66, all bills paid.
For the Committee on Poorhouse,
Robert Carter reported that he and I. R.
Pierson had visited the Poorhouse in
February and found the house clean and
in good order and wished to report that
there were at present no facilities for
women bathing in winter. Dr. Twining
reported that he and Mrs. Twining
visited the Poorhouse last Sunday and
found that religious services are regular
ly held^by clergymen of the different
parishes surrounding, assisted occasion
ally by young men from the Y. M. C. A.
at Boonton. There were 101 persons in
the house, making it too full, but the
rooms were clean and in good order.
The new additions are working well but
are not well administered. Last Sunday
he fotfnd the door between the men’s and
women’s departments in the yard un
locked and women were in the men’s de
partment, and vise versa. The keeper
who was responsible for this was away
at the time. Dr. Hughes reported that
Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Hoyt had also
visited the Poorhouse recently and found
things in much better order than they
were two years ago.
Dr. Charlton T. Lewis reported for the
Committee on the County Jail as follows:
TO THE MORRIS COUNTY BRANCH OF THE
STATE CHARITIES AID ASSOCIATION.
Your Committee on the County Jail re
spectfully report that no radical change
has been made in the conditions^ the in
stitution since the last detailed reports.
We note, however, with pleasure the gen
eral cleanliness of every apartment, tne en
tire freedom of the jail from the disagree
able and unwholesome odors which have at
times been a marked feature of it, and the
perfect health of all its inmates. Since the
accommodations were improved by the
erection of the so-called cages, by the new
plumbing, and by the furnishing of some
rooms upstairs for women and children,
the prisoners have been better cared for
than before. It seems to us that the pres
ent management is perhaps doing every
thing in its power to combat the evils
which continually threaten to creep into
such an institution. In any remarks that
we shall make, therefore, we wish distinct
ly to be understood as implying no reflec
tion upon the intelligence or efficiency of
the officers in charge.
It is nevertheless true that the system
under which our County Jails are conduct
ed is a deplorable one. In this jail there
are at present thirty inmates; some are
convicts, the majority are held for trial for
petty offenses, a few are accused of aggrav
ated felonies, and three or four are detain
ed as witnesses. In the principal room,
upon which most of the cells open, about
twenty men, of all ages, are confined to
gether. They have no employment what
ever, except that two or three of the con
victs are made useful at times in helping to
clean the jail; nearly the whole time is
spent in absolute idleness. Many of them
spend every day, Sunday included, in play
ing cards. Your committee think that
this is probably better for them than the
conversation and thoughts which would
occupy their minds if they were deprived
of this occupation. Inquiry into the his
tory of some of the prisoners now awaiting
the action of the Grand Jury has revealed
to us glimpses of tragedies in real life
whioh, if they could be recited in detail,
would touch every heart, and would, we
think, arouse indignation against the im
Eerfections in our laws which make such
istories possible.
Without dwelling ou individual cases,
however, we are firmly convinced that the
only true remedy for the defects and mis
eries of the present system is a complete
revision of our penal laws. Our County
Jails ought to be abolished. A house of
detention for persons awaiting trial, and if
necessary a place of detention, not a pris
on, for witnesses, might be maintained in
the vicinity of each of our criminal courts ;
but these places ought not to be used for
confining convicts. Every prison to which
any man is sentenced for crime should be
able to furnish opportunities for systematic
labor, and to require such labor of every
inmate. This is the first and great con
dition of its usefulness, .further, an equal
ly necessary part of any adequate reform is
the adoption of a probation system sub
stantially similar to that which has produc
ed such admirable results in Massachusetts.
A bill establishing such a system was pass
ed by the Legislature of 1897, but was lost
through the failure of the engrossing
bureau in the Legislature; the bill was in
troduced again in the session of 1898, but
no action was taken upon it. Our Legis
lature which has just adjourned has also
failed to make any appropriation for the
completion of the proposed Rahway Re
formatory, another important element in
the reform of our penal system. We must
therefore wait indefinitely for any action
in this direction by our Legislature. Mean
while, some palliation of the moral evils
continually wrought by our method of con
fining prisoners in this Couhty is possible
if intelligent visitors to the institution will
continue to interest themselves in bring
ing instruction and entertaining reading
to the inmates, and thus giving them some
thing else to do and to think about than
the exchange of criminal experiences and
the instruction of one another in criminal
motives and practices.
Upon motion the report was adopted
and it was suggested that it be published
in the local newspapers.
John E. Taylor read the following in
teresting report for the Committee on
Visiting Children:
Your Committee on Visiting Children beg to
report that the Children’s Home at Parsip
pany has about the average number of county
wards In Its care, and some children whose
board is paid by relatives or friends. It is in
excellent condition. The Kindergarten in Me
Alpin building has an average attendance of
about sixty children between three and six
years old. The rooms are admirable and the
care and tuition are all that could be desired,
and such as might be expected of its able
managers.
At our last meeting in January your com
mittee were requested to inquire into and re
port at this meeting on the school facilities of
Morristown, and of some of the towns in this
and other counties of the State.

We know that many people
who have bought Pianos

with the idea that, knowing
nothing about Pianos them

trust in our judgment and
feel safe.
Good reputation is a first
requisite in business-espe

our reputation* is so good
that we have yet to hear of
a buyer of one of our Pianos
who wasn’t perfectly satis
