Battle of Gettysburg
Marvelous $100,000 Battle Painting Now on Free Exhibition on 5th Floor
We now have on exhibition on our Fifth floor the greatest battle painting in the world, portraying on a canvas, 20 feet wide by
1 feet high, the most terrific struggle in American history, the Battle of Gettysburg, wherein 54,802 men of this country were killed or wounded
or left unaccounted for after the battle. Forty-eight hours after the titanic struggle, before the traces of the awful carnage had disappeared,
almost before the smoke of battle had lifted, James Walker, a famous New Jersey artist and officer in the battle, began this now famous picture
which has thrilled millions of people.
Colonel Bachelder, the government historian of the battle, arranged and supervised the placing of the regiments, and 1,000 officers ol
both armies, after visiting the battlefield with the artist, and approved of the accuracy of his work, li took eight years to finish the picture.
So marvelously clear and exact is the painting that even the officers, now famous in history, may be ani are easily recognized.
James Drummond Ball, the well-known lecturer of Boston, tells with thrilling effect the story of the bittle, pointing out the positions
of the twelve New Jersey regiments and the now famous generals and other office•>. He is thorou\Y.v conversant with the subject and very
enthusiastic, carrying his audience breathlessly with him as the great battle is refought before them We cordially invite you and every mem
ber of your family to visit our Fifth Floor and view this wonderful painting.
FIGHTS GRANT OF
KING’S BIG GIFT
Montclair Man Protests to Sen*
ators Against Foundation
Plan of Rockefeller.
WASHINGTON, March 9. — From
George W. Da Cunha, an architect of
Upper Montclair, N. J., has come an
upon letter protesting against the Gal
iinger bill to grajit a Federal charter
to the Rockefeller Foundation. The
letter was received by the senior sena
tor from each State. It sets forth that
the Incorporation of Rockefeller’s mil
lfone and the granting of a charter by
the United States Is a dangerous prece
dent against public policy, being special
end class legislation and on a line with
the greeting of charters of crowned
heads with extraordinary powers."
It is etated by Mr. Da Cunha that tha
placing of the accumulations of Rocke
feller tn an incorporated body elimi
nates the family and thenceforth there
can be no inheritance tax collected
from the successions of this fortune if
the extraordinary charter asked for in
this case is granted.
"There can be no excuse hereafter,”
says Mr. Da Cunha, “for hot granting
similar charters to any and all the
wealthy families of the land. They in
turn could combine and form one of
the greatest aggregations of money in
the world and one that could dominate
and overcome all opposition.”
An open meeting of the Senate com
mittee on the District of Columbia will
be held Friday at which Starr J. Mur
phy. one of the Rockefeller representa
tives. will explain the purposes of the
foundation.

Complete Set of “New Jersey
Almanac” Owned by Newark*
er Reveals Much Humor.
John B Buchanan, jr., who lives in
! the old Luke Carter homestead, in Clay
street, owns a complete set of the “New
Jersey Almanac," the first number of
which dates back to 1827. In the
earlier years of Its publication the al
manac was compiled by David Young
and published by Benjamin Old. who
conducted what was then a large print
ing and stationery business at the
southwest corner of Market and Broad
:

Almanac Printed In 1827.
streets. The "New Jersey Almanac.”
the name of which was subsequently
changed to “The Farmers' Almanac,'’
was very highly regarded as an au
thority on tile weather, crops, recipes
care of cattle, poultry and live stock,
cures for all kinds of ailments, and
above all as the exponent of the very
latest in jokes and funny stories. Some
of the humorous Items that caused the
family circle to burst Into laughter
were the following:
A passerby seeing an old man and
women in the stocks said it put him in
mind of the babes in the wood.
Two negroes who dealt In brooms met
on the street one day and one said to
the other, “Say, Cato, ,Jiow can you
afford to sell brooms cheaper than me
when I steal the stuff?” "Your foolish,”
said Cato, "I steal the brooms ready
made,”
Two suitors In chancery being recon
‘ died to each other after a long and
, expensive law suit applied to an artist
t •
to paint a device in commemoration of
their returning amity and peace. The
artist accordingly painted one In hi?
shirt and the other without his. (This
would seem to oe the origin of the ex
pression that in later years became so
popular).
A poor fellow creeping through an
orchard without any inteniion of steal
ing was discovered by thu owner who
called out. "Hey, man, where are you
going?" The poor fellow replied, “I'm
not going. I'm just coming back."
These jokes, taken from the almanac
for the year 1827. are a fair sample of
the brand of humor that prevailed a'
that time. .Most of the funny stories
are written in dialect and seem to have
been composed more with a desire to
fill space than to convey any real point j
of humor.
One of the contributors has an essay :
on "Ladies' Bonnets" that reads a?
though it had been written at the pres
ent day. He says:
“I would humbly request the
ladies to adopt a church-going bon
ent whose modest size shall enable I
men of ordinary height who may
happen to sit behind them to see as
well as hear the preacher. I stand
In my shoes within a line of six
feet high, yet I assure you that In
church, where every seat is elevated
above the preceding one. I am
greatly annoyed by the towering
and outspreading masses of millin
ery before me. There is anothei
disadvantage in the new mode of
ladies' hats; only two of them can
descend an aisle together, and only
three or four can occupy a pew that
formerly held six with ease, unless
they care to lap the brims of their
bonnets up to their neighbor's ear."
There are cures for rheumatism, hy
drophobia. corns, salt rheum and other
ailments that are still the subjeet for |
“cures" in modern almanac?. There 1? j
a long letter from a father to his new- ;
ly married daughter containing advice
that, could be read by the young women
of today to good advantage.
There are recipes for making ginger
pop, mortar, current wine, shoe black
ing, sheet lead and vinegar. Addition
ally there are hints on how to keep
flics from alighting on pictures, how
"to prevent'gentlemen's hats from be
ing spotted after a shower of rain,
how to prevent a lamp smoking, how
to keep off fleas and how to extract
grease from clothing.
The list of the then prevailing postal
rates is interesting. It states that for
letters composed of one piece of paper
the rate shall be six cents for any dis
tance not exceeding thirty miles; over
thirty and not exceeding eighty miles
ten cents. There was a sliding scale
up to 400 miles, when the rate was
twenty-five cents. If two or more piece?
of paper were used the rate increased
in proportion to the number of page?
used. A three-page letter to Morris
town would cost thirty cents In those
days.
There are short sermons on temper
ance, love, marriage and heggars Much
space is devoted to the planets and the
tides a? well as the time for planting
various crops. Altogether the almanac
contained a fine collection of all topics
that appealed to the rural population
of that date.

Wife of School Superintendent
Recovers Property.
Mrs. Addison B. Poland, wife of the
city superintendent of schools, today
recovered through the STAR a pocket
book which she loBt a few days ago on
a Mt. Prospect avenue car. When told
of the finding of the pocketbook Mrs.
Poland was delighted, and Bald that
she would rew'ard Mrs. J. Fitzpatrick,
of 115 Vanderpool street, the finder.
"I prize the pocketbook very highly,”
said Mrs. Poland today. "It was a gift
of friends, who brought it from the
home city of Gothe, in Germany. I
have had it some time, and it has been
admired by my friends. I felt dreadful
over its loss. I was on my way to the
hank from my home when I missed It.
I had It beside me on the seat of a Mt.
Prospect avenue car."
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, who found the
pocketbook, today brought it to the
STAR office, and through the STAR the
pocketbook was returned to the owner.

FINED FOR ATTACK.
Because he told Stefan Tekula, of 29
Avenue L, that he was not fit to bake
bread, Stefan Sivak, of 74 Avenue L,
was invited out to fight. When Sivak
refused, Tekula is alleged to have as
saulted his former friend.
This was about as near the facts in
the case as Judge Hahn could get in
tlie Third Precinct Police Court today,
but it seemed enough, backed by the
marks the complainant carried to Jus
tify the $10 fine which was imposed.

MUST PAY EXPENSES
OF EXEMPT FIREMEN.
Relief Association Not Response
ble for Delegates’ Expenditures.
A matter that affects and Interests
every exempt fireman in the State was
decided by the Supreme Court at Tren
ton this week in the case of Daniel W.
Littell against the Plainfield Firemen's
Relief Association. Littell brought
suit against the Plainfield association
some time ago to recover the amount
of his expenses as a delegate to the
State Firemen’s Association's conven
tion in Atlantic City in 1908, his claim
being that the expense should be paid
by the Relief Association even though
he was a delegate representing the Ex
empt Association. At the time of the
action Littell was president of the
State Association of Exempt Firemen
and the matter was taken to the courts
as a test case.
The District Court of Plainfield ruled
in favor of the Relief Association and
' Littell immediately appealed the case.
The decision of the Supreme Court sus
tained the lower court and disposes of
i a long-mooted question. Hereafter the
| Exempt Association will be expected
; to pay the expenses of its own dele
gates without looking to the Relief As
■ sociation to bear this end. of (the flnan
I clal responsibility.
