Daton have lived on the place for many years and the gathering was planned as a surprise to them. It was an interesting fact that the entire family of two sisters and four brothers, all of whom are over seventy years of age were present, and they with their children and grandchildren, composed a very happy party of thirty. Besides Mrs. Dalton and John Winans of this place, there are in the family Mrs. Elizabeth Beach and James Winans of Newark, and the Rev.

Charles Winans of Paterson. The party met at Caldwell, intending to come the rest of the way by the Morristown Erie R. R. but owing to a change of train schedule the day before they found that the last train had gone. There were about fifty persons thus stranded and the management kindly telephoned to headquarters and secured a special car for them.

As the track lies across the Winans farm, the engine was stopped and the family party was left almost at their own door. After a good old time dinner and a ramble over the familiar grounds the family gathered in the house, where the Rev, Charles Winans read two original poems, one appropriate to Memorial Day and one with especial reference to the family history. He then lead in prayer, after which all joined in singing Blest Be the Tie That Re With You Till We Meet The School Question In Hanover. There was a meeting of a large number of men interested in the present school question, which met at the school house in Hanover last Wednesday night. The object of the meeting was to form some concerted action in regard to the question of consolidation of the township schools.

The feeling was generally expressed that all are in favor of good schools within their borders, but that many parents are much opposed to sending their smaller children in stages a distance of several miles, there to remain until the stage returns at night regardless of accidents, illness or soaking by unexpected storms. A resolution was drawn up setting forth the facts that the people of this section of the township are in favor of one graded school In Whlppany or some central place, and also that the present schools be repaired and maintained for the use of the younger scholars. A committee was then appointed to present these resolutions to the board of education at their next meeting. CRIMINALS BREAK JAIL Stephans and Burns Escape on Sunday. Stephans Recaptured.

A DARE-DEVIL ESCAPADE, Three prisoners, Albert Jones, Wm. Stephans and Charles Burns escaped from the county jail about one Sunday afternoon. The men were taking their usual daily exercise in the corridor at the time. It appears that a saw had been made of a case knife with which one of the bars in a window had been sawed through probably on Saturday. The removal of the bar made a hole eleven inclies square.

Then they kicked off the heavy wire on the outside of the bars, bringing them iuto the yard from which they made their escape by climbing the board fence twelve feet high and surmounted by sharp prongs. The alarm was given by outsiders and the pursuit begun; two ran over the hill while Stephens ran upWestern avenue and all ran through Miller street and over the Budd hill. John Ridge pursued the men with others and succeeded in rounding up Stephans near the Burnham ponds and saw the others near by. The pursuit was kept up all day. The fetore at Brookside was robbed during the night and overalls and eatables taken evidently by Jones and Burns.

Sheriff Ryerson has offered a reward of $50 each for the capture of the two men. Under the law fifteen days is allowed after sentence is pronounced for the sheriff to take prisoners to Trenton. These prisoners were sentenced on May 25. The papers were executed last Thursday, June 1st, and on Friday Sheriff Ryerson took Telfer, supposed to be the worst criminal of the lot to Trenton, also the two women prisoners. He planned to take Jones and the others on Monday and took all the others this morning.

Says Boonton Keservolr Teats. The Jersey City Water Supply Company was directed by Vice-Chancellor Stevens, at Newark, Wednesday, to show' cause on June 13 why an injunction should not be granted requiring the company to make the wa 1 of the Boonton Reservoir waterproof. The application was made by William J. Righter, owner of a farm in Hanover Township, who says the dam is so constructed as to cause the flooding of his farm by seepage. The Vice-Chancellor asked the counsel for Mr.

Righter what remedy was practicable, and the reply was that engineering advice had recommended an apron of hydraulic cement on the inner wall of the dam. This would necessitate the emptying of the reservoir. The Old Joy. The Auto says: men wr.o are running automobiles were among the pioneers of bicycling and they remember the treatment that the man on the top of a wobbly high bicycle used to receive from the driver along the road. If the driver could give him a dump in the gutter it was almost as good to him as a half hour in a three ring circus, and if by any chance he had an opportunity to drive over the bicycle, that was grand sport, and the bicyclist was left with the cheering remark that it served him light for riding the d-d thing.

It is not without a tinge of wicked joy that the old timers in their cars contemplate the apparant courtesy with which even the brewery wagons meet a big touring Annual Concert. The twelfth annual concert of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. music school promises to be a great success.

Among the several numbers to be given, will be waltz in sharp minor, Rhapsodie Hongroise, Impromptu in sharp minor, Rheingold, for piano; and duett for two sopranos from opera Figaro; soprano solo Who is Schubert; several songs with piano, violin and organ accompaniment, and Cavatina by Raff, Waltz Etude by Bohm and other selections for the violin.

The Union Pacific Kailroad has constructed a motor passenger car which is apparently certain to economically solve one of the great transportation problems of the hour. This car resembles the ordinary passenger coach, only that it is conical at both ends and otherwise constructed with a view of offering the least resistance to the atmosphere. It is equioped with a sixcylinder gasoline motor of sufficient power to insure a speed of between forty and fifty miles an hour, and can be operated by one man. In practical operation it has fulfilled all the hopes of its builders, and the proposition now is to construct a sufficient number like it to supply the demands of suburban traffic and traffic upon small branch lines. Several experiments are now in progress in various parts of the country with new types of engines and cars which are being watched with interest by officials of companies not directly affected.

The New York adoption of electricity for trains out of the new Grand Central Station finds a sort of counterpart in the central west, where the Chicago and Alton has ordered six-gasoline-electric motor cars, guaranteed to average fifty miles an hour in interurban service, for use between Chicago and Joliet. Each car will have its own motive power, will be 72 feet long, and will seat 86 pereons. The cost of the motor is $5,000. The fast freight service between New York and Morristown over the Erie line was started on Monday. Freight is received at the Erie depot, foot of Duane street, New York, up to four-thirty p.

m. daily, is brought into Morristown on the train arriving at 2.03 a. and is ready for delivery early in the morning. The new Lackawanna station at Boonton was opened on Thursday. It is located in the center of the town, has both east and west bound waiting rooms and platforms and is much appreciated by the Boonton people, who will tender the officials of the road a reception on Tuesday evening.

The Lackawanna road announces that it will not handle dynamite under any circumstances, and black powder only under the most severe restrictions. This throws all the business of the Landing and Kenvil plants to the New Jersey Central or the Morris canal. The Lackawanna Railroad Company has presented Netcong borough with a 550 lb. locomotive tire for a lire More Portraits for State House. Two new portraits have been added to the collection of celebrities at the state house.

One of the portraits is of former Governor Murphy and the other of the late Chancellor Williamson. The pictures were turned over to Custodian Weiseman last week. Both portraits are the work of M. F. Vernocken, of New York.

Governor portrait, which is threequarters length, was bought under the provisions of the law which makes an appropriation to buy portraits of former governors of New Jersey. It was hung in the executive audience room. Chancellor portrait was presented by Mrs. Emily E. Williamson, of Elizabeth, and was hung in the chancery court room.

The Mercer county grand jury devoted most of its time Wednesday to an investigation of the charges that members of the House of Assembly had been bribed to vote for the bill to abandon the Morris Canal. Five witnesses, all newspaper men, were examined, and at the end of its labors the jury decided that there was not sufficient tangible evidence to justify action, though it will further consider the advisability of making a report to the court in a form of a presentment showing what it lias discovered or failed to discover in the way of evidence of bribery.

A CHILD LOST. Little One Strays Away at Mt. Tabor and Causes Great Excitement. Mt.Tabor was profoundly stirred last Friday and Saturday by the disappearance of Mabel Kirschiem, the two and a half year old daughter of Herman Kirscheim, a carpenter living near the Tabor athletic grounds. She left her home to pick a few flowers and was not out of sight of her father, who was working in the garden, for five minutes, blit disappeared completely.

A party of at least fifty men searched through the woods with lanterns far into the night and a larger party searched on Saturday. Finally some children looking for flowers found the little girl near the rock house, a mile from her home. The abduction theory was suggested after diligent search of wells and ponds proved of no avail, but no motive could be given for it, and the parents had almost given up hope of finding the little one, when the cbilddren brought back the good news. It is stated that Mabel said she had been out in the cold and dark all night and was hungry. MORRIS COUNTY COURTS.

Commencement Exercises and Reception. VACATIONS OF THE FACULTY. The commencement exercises of Miss School have been held during the week beginning with the baccalaureate sermon preached by Rev. William M. Hughes in the Church of the Redeemer on Sunday afternoon.

His text was John 16:5, now I go my way to Him that sent There are certain times in our lives when we should poise for a new flight, and he characterized the commencement time as one of these when the young ladies part from their school friends and look out into the world beyond. He compared the time with the athlete poised waiting for the pistol shot to start the race and remembering the advice of trainers and others as to the best way to compete. The object of a school is to teach to use brains, to sharpen the tools that must be used in life. The school training should teach discrimination to choose the good to refuse the bad. Woman is endowed with a splendid force of emotionality and an innate purity which with education should cause her to be masterful and winsome in the welfare.

The heart needs education and Dr. Hughes laid particular stress on the place of friendship and the necessity of right choice in that direction the home being the ultimate goal returning the richest pleasure. He advised the young ladies to go their own ways not to copy some one Choose the way to the home that is the home after all. The gymnasium was crowded to the doors on Monday evening with friends of graduates and school who desired to witness the production of John Maske of Comus. The production was unique having been given but few times in this country.

The stage erected for the occasion was banked with evergreens and made a pretty setting for the actors.

The cast was as follows: Attendant Spirit, afterward Tbyrsis, Miss Murphy; Comus, Mary Amerman, Lady Alice, Helen Macleish, 05; First Brother, Adele Voorhees, Second Brother, Virginia Garner, Sabrina, Ethel Brown.

The gymnasium afforded accommodations for all who came without crowding and several unique features added to the pleasure.

The school procession was a pretty sight. First came the ushers, closely followed by the members of the graduating class, Miss Dana and the gentlemen who participated in the exercises. Then after a brief interval the pupils marched to their seats two by two singing the school hymn as they walked. Prayer was offered by Rev. William Russell Bennett after which thechoral class sang In young May by Abt.

Then Miss Elizabeth Holden played by Moszkowski on the piano in good style, after which came the address of the occasion by Hamilton Wright Mabie. Wright Mabie took for the subject of his address the topic he said being suggested by the occassion. Youth is beautiful, flowers beautiful, so there is no approach to undue flattery in the suggestion. Vacation time gets its sweetness from the background of the regular routine and discipline. There is nothing sweeter than work, yet how blessed is the vacation after.

Hundreds of thousands are going on vacations because men love beauty and find in it rest, solace and refuge. That is why we love beautiful character, and all the world loves a beautiful woman. Physical beauty is not the possession of everybody, but there is a beauty besides what nature gives. Many of beautiful character were not lovely of form, as John Knox and Martin Luther, but lack of beauty does not make a saint. Every saint will be beautiful and it is not necessary for a heavenly ON EIGHTH.
