NEWARK, July iS.-An event which has
been looked forward 10 with much inter-
est took place last evening II was an
organ recital in the setting up room of the
Knauff organ factory to mark the compile
tion of the first large pipe organ TO be
wholly constructed In the new factory.
The early part Of the company sent out in
vitations very generally TO the citizens and
resident stockholders to attend the recital
and ii is safe to say that all came who
were bidden-and great many more.
The long focade of the building with its
graceful lines and artistic lettering was
shown off 10 fine effect by the light Of
many improvised electric lights while the
by lights hung around the gal
leries. This room is about 50x50
feet, being open to the roof which
is 60 feet above. A gallery runs around
the interior walls. This room is used en-
tirely for setting up organs, and is designed
to accommodate the very largest organs
made. Last evening it was crowded. floor
and gallery, with town folk who listened
with rare pleasure for over an hour to the
finished playing of Mr.. Theodore c.
knauff, the president of the company,
who brought out all the power and deep,
rich harmonies Of the instrument. The
organ is about % feet high, has three
banks of keys, IS stops, % pedal notes. five
composition pedals, six manuel couplers
and 2,l04 pipes of wood and metal, Its
cost is about 5000, and is for st. Theresa

Newark is daily growing more cosmo-

ago there were hardly any foreigners here,

Italians, Englishmen, Danes, Swedes, the
latest importation being some Russian
Jews, who left the land of the Tar be-
before the expulsion of their race. The
foreign element, however, fortunately
bears very small proportion TO the total
population.

authorize it the college cadet corps will not
hold its encampment at Fort Delaware
next month as intended. This leaves the
military work of the year incomplete in a
measure, as there has been no practical in
strnction in guard duty or in the routine
duty life Of the soldier in garrison. The
limited time allowed for military instrue,
ton during the term and the conditions OF
student life at the college preclude the Civ

friction with the other departments and
not to make the military unduly promi'
