LAckAwANNA NOTES.

Relative to the we'll deserved criti-
cism as to the frequent delays to make
time on the suburban runs of the
Lackawanna, Superintendent Russell
in a recent interview said:
1t is true that we have been hav-
ing great deal of trouble with our
suburban service lately. / think,
however, that most of the defects are
being remedied. A couple of weeks
ago it was no uncommon thing for
ten or twelve of our trains to miss
the ferryboats they were scheduled to
meet. This morning only three trains
were at all late. and these were within
few minutes of schedule time. There
have been two reasons for our delayed
service. The first is that we have
tried to stop our trains at too many
stations. Our patrons naturally want
ed as many trains as possible stopped
at their stations. We went too far
in trying to accommodate them. We are
revising our schedule to remedy this.
The second hindrance has been the
building of our new freighthouse and
the alterations to our interlocking
switch system. This has affected the
passenger yards, and every switch in
them. Every train has been delayed
on this account for several minutes,
and it will not be for some time that
we can be sure of prompt yard
service.
1t is not true that the laying off of
employees has interfered with the train
service Last May our traffic was
light and we laid off a good many
men, some of whom we have since
taken back. We have not decreased
our train crews or yard crews, how
ever. The accidents and delays are
chiefly due to the causes l have men,
toned / do not think that we have
lost or delayed any more freight than
the other roads, though we are over
worked and have suffered from the
car famine. -
General Passenger Agent Lee and
Division Superintendent DuPuy, of
the Lackawanna Railroad, closed
negotiations with the Hoboken Ferry
Company for an increase of the ferry
service on the Christopher street line
for the benefit of the Lackawanna' S
patrons. The ferry company has
consented to run its boats every seven
and one-half minutes during the
"rush" hours between and 10 a. m.
boats on this line ran on a ten
minutes schedule. The patrons of
the Lackawanna road have long COM
planned bitterly of the ferry service,
but were unable to secure any redress.
The new schedule will go into effect
next Monday. Increasing the service
of the Christopher street line will ne
cessitate the addition of another boat
to the fleet now being used by the Ho-
boken Ferry Company between Ho-
boken and Christopher street. The
Hopatcong, which is now used as a
reserve boat, will be put into regular
service, to be succeeded later by the
Paunpeck. In further discussing the
new arrangement for an increase of
the ferry service, General Passenger
Agent Lee Tuesday morning said /:
"We have great hopes that the ferry
company will soon realize the necessi-
ty of placing another boat on the
Barclay street line. F."

as could be wished. There has been q
good deal of complaint over the SER
vice rendered by these urchins, but
greens COMMITTEES seem to overlook
the fact that boy will not make a
good caddie until he thoroughly un-
derstands the game and the uses to
which the various clubs may be put.
In this connection the New York
Times says: "Let them hold tourna-
ments for their caddie boys, instead
of prohibiting them to use the links,
and the result will repay the effort.
Nothing teaches boy what is re-
quired of him quicker than to put a
set of clubs in his hands and let him
compete against his companions !"
The ComerciaI Advertiser remarks
At Morris County, along with many
other wise things, this policy has
been pursued for some seasons and
every one will admit that the Morris
County caddies are among the most
efficient and intelligent to be found
in the metropolitan district. The
same policy has been tried at the
Dyker Meadow and Marine and Field
clubs, but the effort was rather feeble
and the result unsatisfactory. At
Morris County the season never closes
without week of play devoted to
the employees, and, to stimulate the
interest as we'll as to offer compensa-
tion for faithful service, the club
offers a number of cash prizes to the
various winners. The first round of
one of these tournaments took place
on Monday, and, though the scores
were of no particular interest to golf
ers at large, it may be said that they
compared very favorably with those
returned by the members themselves
in similar competitions. -
On Saturday last the Tuxedo Golf
Club defeated the Morris County
Club by holes to 5. The match was
played on the Tuxedo links and was
! the return game. Tuxedo also won
on the Morris County links by to 6.
At the Morris County Club tomor-
row there will be a mems handicap
against DOGGY. The employees of the
Green Committee will play an IS
hole match

for the LongCourse Cup occurs next
Wednesday.

SUCCESSFUL TEACHER OF MUSIC

The November number of the Musi-
cal Record has the following reference
to Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Young of this
city:
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward M. Young, of
New York and Morristown, N. j.,
well-known among musical circles,
are coming to the front as lecture
song recitalists and teachers of sing
ing. They form a unique combina-
ton, and it is interesting to witness
them earnestly and enthusiastically
at their studios, giving encourage
ment and inspiration to pupils of
various grades and talents. Their
home in Morristown has become a
veritable music-hall. Mr.. Young has
fitted up studio at 1879 Twenty third
Street, New York, where they are now
actively engaged ON Wednesdays and
Saturdays After several years study
in Boston and New York, Mr.. and
Mrs. Young were for three years in
structors in a college in the far West,
and as evidence of their success there,
they have at the present time pupils
from as far west as Dakota. Mr..
Y Dung has long been an active men,
Der of the New York MSS. Society,
has composed considerable music,
principally songs, and at the present
time has about completed the man
scripts of a unique manual on sight
singing. In this work, Mr. Young
strikes out boldly and teaches that the
minor scale, the stumbling block of
many singers, is not a necessary fact
to the singer, and the whole subject
matter simply ignores the minor scale.
Mr.. Young is successful vocal sight
reader, and as evidence of his devotion
to this branch of music, he gives in
struction in suburban high school,
where his ideas are successfully car
ried out, and visiting doubters are
convinced

sCHURMAN ON PHILIPPINES.

The Outlook has been fortunate
enough to secure an authorized and
revised interview by DR.. Jacob Gould
Schurman, the President Ct the
Philippine Commission, in which DIR.
Schurman states his view of the pres
emit condition of the Philippine prob
lem, and gives his advice as to some
important points of the policy to be
pursued in the immediate future
One of the most notable suggestions
made by DR.. Schurman is as follows
We should have an authoritative
declaration on the part of the United
States of the form of government and
of the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties which the Filipinos are to receive
from us. l trust that the President
and Congress will soon agree ON such
grant; and the sooner it is enacted
he better. In my opinion, nothing
could so much contribute to an adj
justment of our Philippine troubles
as such piece of legislation.
In word, my advice is, increase
your military force to the utmost ex-
NCtAU uAAetp AAANJ3 OllSulA-
stances, be necessary, and with those
forces annihilate or be ready to ami
hilate, the Tagalog insurgents who
are now resisting the authority of the
United States but, at the same time,
tell the inhabitants of the Philippine
Archipelago, four fifths of whom are
at peace with you, what political
status and civil rights you propose to
confer upon them. Such a declaration
may make the further exercise of
power unnecessary. In any event, it
will tend to satisfy all the races, ex-
cept the Tagalogs, who are now
actually engaged in war, and it can
not fail TO have great influence
among men of intelligence and
property who are now committed to
the Tagalog cause.
This interview with DIR. Schurman
is prinetd in the November Magazine
Number of The Outlook 1888 a year.

GOLF FOR A WEEK.
Gaddies Hold Forth at Morris County Club
Other Events.

Twenty caddies of the Morris
County Golf Club turned up bright
and early on the links Monday morn
ing to take part in their annual medal
play competition. Among the closing
features of its golf year, the club al
ways gives several tournaments for
the benefit of the active little fellows
who carry the members clubs, and
occasionally give them the benefit of
their golfng experience.
Only the regular caddies could take
part and the award of six money
prizes, ranging in value from so cents
to So, encouraged each youthful golfer
to do his prettiest. The So prize was
won by Edward Mack, who played
the nine holes in forty-seven strokes.
He is Miss Kip's favorite caddy and
showed considerable ability in his
play. The second and third prizes of
SO. so and 30, respectively, were
divided by John Maloney and Thomas
Gaffney, each of whom did fifty.
Henry Fouthers, with 81, won 81. so
w. B. Heating, with SO, got 81, and
Jack Whalen, with SO, took the last
prize of so cents.
Some of the other players were
Harry Linton 81, James Maloney 81,
James Owens 81, William Going So,
Alfred Halsey So, Patrick Flynn 60,
Richard Madden 50, William Camp
bell Ga, Tom Maloney GA, Jack Shar-
key &c, and James Myers "a.
E. G. TAFT. one of the most skillful
and popular golfers abroad, and at
one time holder of the championship,
is a member of the famous Black
Watch, which has gone to South
Africa to take part in the Transvaal
War. 1t is a well-known fact that
Mr.. TAFT had expressed wish that
chance might some day give him the
opportunity of winning laurels other
than golf cups, and the opportunity
has now come. 1t may do good tc
those people who look on golf as a
game for weaklings to remember that
our own champion, Whigham, was in
Cuba during the recent war, under
going the most trying exposure IT
might not be difficult to defend the
opinion that the experience, patience
and strength developed in long
series of championships will be OF
advantage in the sterner struggle Of
war. There is no greater favorite in
English golfng circles than TAFT, and
his doings in the Boer country will be
anxiously watched. In this game al
any rate, he must be careful not to be
Zone down.
Caddie tournaments are no Longer

their adoption has. not been as general
