MORRISTOWN, N. J. OFFICE: CHRONICLE BUILDING 33 and 35 Washington Street. TELEPHONE GALL No. 31. J. FRANK LINDSLEY, Editor and Proprietor. Robert W. Hawkesworth has succeed ed Judge J. Franklin Fort as presi dent of the East Orange Republican club. __ H. W. Foster formerly superintend ent of schools at Ithaca, N. Y., has been appointed to a similar position in the South Orange scthools,. Frank Bergen, of Union county, has -withdrawn from the contest for the Congressional nomination in the VII. district. This leaves the field clear for the renomination of Charles N. Fowler._ Virginia was once known as the mother of Presidents,” and Ohio seems to have a claim to be known as ‘‘the mother of Senators,” as eleven members of the present U. S. Senate are Ohio-born. Ohio is a very suc cessful mother of presidents, too. The United States government has offered full amnesty to the Philippine insurgents, if they lay down their arms within ninety days. What effect this will have remains to be seen, but it is to be hoped that the effect will be to utterly break tffe re bellion. _ The ladies of Lambertville have formed a town improvement associa tion. An improvement association managed by ladies is very apt to be a success, whereas if the sterner sex had much to do with the manage ment it would probably be like the one in Morristown—slothful. Idaho fruit sold at the Chicago market in 1896 for just enough money to pay the freight. This year ,it has been sold at $1 per crate of twenty-five pounds, the freight being $1 per hun dred pounds. Hay sold in Idaho at $2.60 per ton in 1896. This year it has sold at $5 per ton. Hogs sold there for three cents per pound in 1896. Within the last few months similar hogs have sold for 4% cents per pound. West Virginia’s coal output in creased from 11,400,000 tons in 1895 to 18,750,000 tons last year, giving employment to nearly 11,000 more men who worked every day, instead of 186 days as in 1899. The bank de posits have doubled within the same period. The value of sheep has increased 50 per cent., while the price of wool has doubled. Tobacco is worth con siderably more than under the last Democratic administration. The lumber mills and factories are run . ning full time, and it is safe to pre diet "that West Virgiuia will stay in the Republican column. It may not be generally known but the present method of nominating president and vice president has fnot always been in vogue. Until the con stitutional amendment of 1804 the president and vice president*were voted for on the same ballot, the man with “tha,second highest number of votes becoming vice president. The presidential electors have not always been chosen byjpopular vote. Before 1800 it was the general custom for the state legislatures to choose electors, and it was not until 1828 that presi dential electors were chosen in nearly iall the states by popular vote.’^As late as 1870""the Colorado legislature chose “the three*'presidential electors to represent that state. * There is nothing in the constitution to prevent any state legislature naming its own electors, without appeal to the peo ple, provided such a method of elec tion is prescribed by the state laws. From 1800 to 1824 presidential can didates were chosen by the members of congress in caucus. In 1824 the electoral college failed to make a choice from the candidates so submit ted, and the matter went to the house of representatives. Four ‘years later Tennessee's legislature nominated Andrew Jackson without any reference to the congressional caucus. His op ponent, John Quincy Adams, was nominated in the old way, but that, was the end of presidential nomina tions by congressional caucus. OBITUARY. WILLIAM FEWSMITH. Professor William Fewsmith died at the home of his datighter, Mrs. F. A. Rex, Merchantville, N. J., June 19, 1900. Professor Fewsmith was born in 1826, and graduated from Yale in 1844. He was considered the ablest greek * and latin scholar in New Jersey, and for many years was at the head of a classical school in Philadelphia. He married Miss Catherine Schenck, of Morristown, who died about a year ago. He was the uncle of Mrs. James Douglas and brother of the late Rev. Dr. Joseph Fewsmith, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, Newark. A DEWEY OR GRANT. One hundred additional West Point cadets are to be appointed and a number of cadets for the Naval Acad emy. The President is to select 10 of the West Pointers and each United States Senator one. The naval cadets will be appointed by Congressmen. There will therefore be two addi tional West Point cadets for New Jer sey and probably as many naval cadets, which ought to interest some Morris County High School graduate. The parson adds one to one and the Bum is one: the divorce judge sub etraorts one from one and two remain! —Chicago News. * ^ " LOCOMOBILES IN FAVOR. An Automobile Party From Newark Visited Town Last Week. An automobile party, from Newark, was in town last week. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Car huff, Ellis Carhuff, L. W. Frisbee, Miss Frisbee, J. H. Dawson and Mrs. 0. E. Noe. They stopped at the Man sion House for dinner, and while there their carriages were inspected by"many people. The automobiles were™three in number, made by the Locomobile Company of America, at Tarrytown, N. Y. The locomobile seems to be gaining rapidly in favor in this section of the country. Several of them have been purchased recently by parties in or near Morristown.. McEwan Brothers, of Whippany, have a new locomobile, which cost $'65 exclusive of the freight. S. S. Day, of Olyphant’ lane, also has a new locomobile and several others have i een ordered. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Recent Transactions Recorded in the Morris County Clerk’s Office. Adelaide P.

Settled Out of Court. A barrister riding his bicycle on a path was caught by a policeman. The gentleman at once came off the path and tried to reason with the policeman. “You aren’t really going to run me in for this?” he asked. “Yes, sir. I can’t help it.” “Well, come in here (a public house close by), and we will talk about It” The policeman followed the gentle man, who ordered two glasses of beer, one for himself, the other for the po liceman, lxkh of which were finished before he again remarked: “Surely you are not really going to make a fuss about this?” "I must, sir. It’s my business.” “Ah! Then at the same time it will be my business to report you for drink ing beer while on duty.” The policeman’s expression sudden ly changed. .“You’re a lawyer, I suppose, sir?” "Yes.” “And a sharp one, too,” he said as he went out and left the gentleman to continue his ride.—London Answers. One Thing: Needful. Irate Father (of pretty girl)—What! Is it possible you are here again after the treatment you received last night! Young Man—Yes, sir. When you kicked me down stairs and set the dog on me, the animal tore a large piece from my trousers. Irate Father—Well, isn’t that enough? What more do you want? Young Man—If it isn’t too much trouble, sir, I would like that piece of cloth.—Chicago News. The Same Thing. “I’m sorry we haven’t much of n din ner,” said Spatts to Bloobumper, whom he had urged to stay for that meal. “You ought to have dropped in last evening. We had a stunning dinner then.” "Why, papa,” chirped Sammy Spatts, “that’s just what you told Mr. Taddells at dinner yesterday!” — Detroit Free Press. She Walked on Him. “Did you propose to her? What was the result?” “Well, she took me for a walk.” “Ah! To give you a chance to tell her, eh?” “Not at all. I say she took me for a walk because she used me as if I was one. She got on to me with both feet.” —Philadelphia Press. . Repealed. “Ah. that was a rare oue!” he ex •elalmed, after snatching a kiss. “Yes,” she said, somewhat disap pointed that he had missed her lips in Ills haste and merely kissed her upon the ohiu; “tt was under done.” Then he proceeded to overdo it— Teoy Timea He Had Had Experience. \Miss Sentiment—Were you ever dis appointed in love? Eligible Widower—Two and a half times. Miss Sentiment—Two and a hulf times? Eligible Widower—Yes; twice mar ried and once rejected.—Omaha Bee.

WflB In the Bn»lne»». It was on a Seventh street car that a Well dressed man carried his hand to his jaw now and then and uttered a stifled groan. After a bit a fellow pas senger had his curiosity aroused and brusquely queried: ,-j.. '’■*» “Toothache?” “Yes.” “I’ve been there and know all about It. If she’s holler and has the jumps, it ain’t no use fooling around. What you want to do is to go to a dentist.” “Urn! Jerusha, but how it aches!” “Go right to the dentist and have it yanked out. Man with the toothache always feels a little scared about hav ing it yanked, but that’s all imagina tion, you know.” “I’d rather be shot!” groaned the suf ferer. “Oh, pshaw! Go to some dentist who gives laughing gas. He’ll give you gas and take the tooth out without your knowing It I pledge you my word that it won’t hurt any more than paring off a finger nail.” “t!m! What a liar! G’way from me!” “Why, man, I pledge you my word that you’ll never”— “Don’t talk to me! I know all about it! I’ve been a dentist myself for the last 15 years!” „ “Oh, you have!” growled the other as he backed away. “Well, that’s dif ferent. It will not only seem to you aa if your blamed old head was being pulled off your shoulders, but your Jav? will ache two weeks after, and I’m dumed glad of it too!”—Washington Post. Sorrow* of the Millionaire. Look at the ways of the millionaire. Given his million, he gives up his house and builds himself a small, first class hotel in some big city, which for the greater part of the year is occupied by servants. He next erects a country palace at Lenox or at Newport. This he calls a cottage, though it usually looks more like a public library or a hospital or a clubhouse. Then be builds himself a camp, with stained glass windows, in the Adiron daeks and has to float a small railroad in order to get himself and his wife’s trunks into camp. Shortly after these follows a bungalow modeled after a French chateau, somewhere in the south, and then a yacht warranted to cross the ocean in ton days and to pro duce seasickness 12 hours sooner than the regular ocean steamer becomes one of the necessities of life. Result, he never lives anywhere. To occupy all his residences, camps and bungalows he has to keep eternally on tlie move, and when he thinks he needs a trip to Europe he has his yacht got ready and sends it over, going himself on a fast steamer. Ob, it’s a terrible thing to be a millionaire and have no where to lay one’s head, with every poorer man envying him, many hating him and hands raised against him ev erywhere! — Woman’s Home Compan ion. Fiddled Into Office. If history be true, Governor Taylor of Tennessee is not the ouly man who fiddled himself into otHce. Lossing re lates that in 1848 he met at Oswego, N. Y., Major Cochran, then nearly 80 years old, a son-in-law of General Phil ip Schuyler, who told the story of his election to congress during the admin istration of the elder Adams. A vessel was to be launched on one of the lakes In interior New York, and people came from afar to see it. The young folks gathered there, determined to have a dance at night. There was a fiddle, but no fiddler. Young Cochran was an amateur performer, and his services Were demanded. He gratified the joy ous company, and at the supper table one of the gentlemen remarked, in commendation of his talents, that ho was “fit for congress.” The mattei was talked up, aud he was nominateo and elected a representative in con gress for the district then comprising the whole of New York west of Schenectady. He always claimed to have “fiddled himself into congress.” It seems that history repeats itself, according to the proverb.—Washington Star. Preferred to Have Her Talk. They were exchanging reminiscences of a pleasant evening. “And what did your wife say when you got homo?” asked one. “Nothing,” answered the other. “Nothing? Well, you were in luck.” “Ob, I don’t know. I’d rather dodge words than some other things.”—New York Mail and Express. Practical Application. A certain minister during his dis course one Sabbath morning said, “In each blade of grass there is a sermon.” The following day one of his flock discovered the good man pushing a lawn mower about bis yard and paused to say, “Well, parson, I’m glad to see you engaged in cutting your sermons short!”—Chicago News. Possible Explanation of It. "I wonder what’s the matter with Willie Jenkins? He's been getting into all sorts of mischief of late, especially Thursday afternoons.” “Oh, that’s easily explained. That’s the afternoon Mrs. Jenkins goes to a mothers’ meeting to discuss the proper method of child education and, disci pline.”—Chicago Fost. To Swallow HI* Own Advice. “I had a horrible dream last night,” said Huddleston when he came down to breakfast the other morning. “What was it?” asked his wife. “I dreamed that I was in purgatory and was made to do all the tliiugs I had told my friends I would do if I were in their places.”—Brooklyn Life. For some reason the man who has no money to buy food is never seized with a desire to acquire fame by break ing all records for fasting.—Atchison Globe. REDUCED RATES TO CIN CINNATI.
