There has been some mistake made in publishing the fact that at the State convention of tbe Christian Endeavor Society, to be held in the First Reformed Church on Oct.

11 and 12, that all persons whO attend will be compelled to have badges. The Intention was to state that the floor of the church would be reserved for the delegates, all of whom should have badges. After the delegates are seated, the balance of the room and the galleries will be open to tbe public. It Is not intended that the public shall require badges. All persons tbat can and will sing In the choir on this occasion are requested to meet Professor Bragdon at the First Reformed Church ou Wednesday evening at 7.80 o'clock.

The Company Busy Securing Property Consents for their, Electric Road. A gentleman Interested-in the electric railroad question sends us a communication, which is here published To the Editor of the TIMES DEAB SIB understand the City Railway Is actively engaged In getting property consents for the extension of their road, as re-" quired by the amended law, and in order that no further question on that point may arise, they are also taking consents over the entire old line. This Is a proper and commendable care that might well have been exercised sooner, and In order that these necessary preliminaries IT ay be quickly compiled with and construction commenced, It Is to be hoped property owners along the line will extend prompt consents and encouragement to the efforts being made. The officials of the company assure us that tbe errors in the last proceedings was wholly and purely a bluodec, and the company will be the chief sufferer, In consequence of the lateness of the season, and the delay It will entail. They have not censured the City Attorney the matter, and are entirely willing to assume their full share of responsibility and blame, if blame there be.

They also very positively deny tbe theory recently an nounced, that the mistake was designedly made in order to escape building the extensions, and point to the fact that the ordinance was so carefully framed that the tensions weee a vital and necessary part of and were to have been built within four months, while the other work had one year in which to be completed. The company agreed to the conditions as to extension and claims that it has never for a moment contemplated avoid Ing tbat clause, or violating In any respect Its agreement. It consequently feels that the maintenance of bad faith is unjust and has not tbe slightest foundation in fact. On the other hand, it says it always intended and does Intend to build the extensions, and give to thetiity genuine rapid transit and a first class electric road, as speedily and promptly as the necessary franchise can be had and tbe work done. The consumatlon ''of this promise we think every progressive citizen will wish for, and should in every proper way encourage.

Joseph Field was born on the homestead in Middlesex Township Sept. 26, 1792. He is the of Thomas and Rebecca Field mother's maiden name being Sbeppard.

There werenve other children, three sisters and two brothers, all of whom are dead. As was the custom among the farmer'boys in those he worked dilligently on the farm during the spring, summer and fall months and attended school during the winter.

Accordingly, Joseph: was taken from school and' set up as a com-; mission merchant in New York. All the produce he sold at bis stand was raised on his father's farm. He carried on the commission business for several years and then engaged in farming on his own account.

He bought the farm in Middletown. township, which then only comprised 150 acres, but; the farm was added to gradually until now tbe property consists of about -400 acres. Mr. Field has been a progressive farmer and his farming 1 investments paid good sized profits. "Uncle" Josey wealth Is said to Amount in the neighborhood of $125,000.

Mr. Field remained a bachelor until be was 75 years old. He then married Miss Euretts fleadden, of Headden's Corner. The bride was a half century her husband's junior and one of tbe prettiest girls In the county. Three children were born to the Joseph and Euretta.

Mrs. Field died about 23 years ago. One of the daughters, Euretta, married Joseph Whit- Ing, of Red Bank. The other two children' live at home. Mr.

Field has always used liquor, but to- baeco was touched by him only once. He secured hla father's pipe and used it. The' first few whiffs were delightful, but the de- ilght.turned to disappointment and sickftess. He put the pipe away with the resolre never again to touch tobacco any form. The resolution has been faithfully kept.

Up to three years ago Mr. Field almost daily walked to Red Bank, but his growing feebleness has since prevented him from coming to town. It was In' June, 1891, chat he made his last appearance in Red Bank. He drove over with his daughter Rebecca behind a spirited team of horses. Mr.

Field prides himself not only upon his rema-kable hold on life, but also upon fact that he has always been a hard working man. Even after he passed the. four score mark he was able to work In the field and could keep up with tbe best man on the jlace. 'The old 'gentleman is below medium lelght, not being more than five feet five nches tall. He is thin, but hla skin is clear.

Bis eyes are bright. His voice and hearing are good, but his memory is poor. An abundance of long, silvery hair covers his lead and most of hir teeth are well preserved. Mr. Field's first vote was cast for a Whig candidate for President and be a devoted adherent of the Whig and Republican parties all bis life, and has voted at 20 Presidential elections.

To a correspondent who inquires as to tbe proper amount of fertilizers to applied to peach trees we can only say that different amounts are needed in different soils.
