TRAINS TO
RUN SUNDAYS
Morris and Essex Divisions Big
Shake-Up.

Twenty Trains, East and West, VIII
Do Away with the Peaceful Sab
baths of Old Morris Officials Say
There Is Great Demand for the
Service-The Schedule.
For the first time in the history of the
Morris and Essex Division of D., L. and
w. Railroad, Sunday trains will be run.
This is one of the first results of the re-
tirement of Samuel Sloan as president of
the road, and indicates that the policy of
his successor, w. H. Truesdale is to be
up-to-date in every particular.
This Sunday service will begin on the
coming Sunday and it is proposed to run
twenty trains daily each way. The termi-
nal points of the trains will include South
Orange, Montclair, Morristown, Dover
and Washington. The Washington train
is to be run over the Morris and Essex
Division. 1t is said that enough trains
will come as far as Morristown to give
excellent facilities to residents east of
this point
Dover will have at least one train max
ing that its terminus, and will also have
the benefit of the Washington train.
There will also be more Sunday trains
placed upon the main division.
Trains will start at hours to accom-
modate the public.
The Boonton branch will not be left
out, and that town will be placed in
communication on Sunday with the rest
of the world.
The officials of the road say that il
cannot fail to give satisfaction. Stations
and telegraph offices along the line will
be kept open all day, and it is under
stood that whether the innovation pays
or not the service will be continued to
oblige patrons of the road who have been
clamoring for Sunday trains.
West bound trains leave New York as
follows:

AN ENJOYABLE EVENT.
Good Talent at the Latest Entertainment
for the Baptist Organ Fund.

Good Talent at the Latest Entertainment
for the Baptist Organ Fund.
The reputation of the series of enter
tainments being represented at the Bap-
tist Church in aid of the organ fund was
more than sustained on Monday evening,
when a program of special merit was
rendered. The attendance was, as at
previous events, very large, and that the
audience was an appreciative one was
demonstrated by the frequent and pro-
longed applause.
Messrs. Willard and Bartlett. mando-
lin and harp guitar artists, in addition to
several numbers on the program, very
graciously responded to encores. The
duet was the best of the kind heard here
for some time.
N. w. Doyle rendered with pleasing
effect two tenor solos and responded to
an encore.
Rev. DIR. Norman Fox gave two dec
lamations, and in response to an encore
recited an amusing little story in Ger
man dialect.
The committee in charge of the enter
tainments are deserving of credit in thus
making it possible for Morristonians to
enjoy this rare talent provided. 1t is
doubtful if the committees efforts are
appreciated, however-or at least the
silver collection received would indicate
lack of appreciation as we'll as generosity.
The members have not complained nor
have any persons connected with the ar
rangement of these entertainments, but
observers have remarked upon the in
difference of those who attend, relative
to the proceeds of the fund

A NEW MACHINE,

+. While thoss engaged in textile manu-
tacture know there is substantially only
one part of the textile process now done
by hand-the "drawing-in" OF the warp
through the harnesses and reed prepaIa-
tory to weaving-those unfamiliar with
the work done have commonly thought it
was entirely machine process. after the
cotton was picked or the wool clipped.
Nor are o great many mill unen familiar
with any part of the work that has been
done by way CT experimenting during the
past thirty years OF more to build an au-
tomato "warp-drawing" machice. A
New England inventor has finally per
fected machine which Is said to be ex-
tremely simple and very efficient. MIL
men hav, thought that the problem WAS
such a nice and delicate one that no
practical, simple machine could be de-
vised to perform the operation; and the
solving of the problem is simply another
illustration OF the fact that there is prac.

mechanism il only the problem is worth
solving. All patent rights covering the

DEERINGIS OAKS.

In our last annual report. the commits
sloners informed the city government of
our intention to erect a new gateway at
the State strest entrance to Deering' s
Oaks, and with that end in view we had
a plan made by Mr.. f. Nj. Blaisdell of
Boston. which was accepted and we were
given to understand could be built for II
certain amount, but when we advertised
for bids for doing the work we found
that it would cost much more than the
estimates, so we were Obliged to defer the
work until another year. In the mean
time We have had MIR. Frederick A.
Johnson make new plans which the
commissioners hope will be satisfactory
SO that the work may be completed the
coming summer.
The entrance at Grove street has been
completed inside of the Park line. and
this spring we shall finish the sidewalk
to the street line outside.
The other work in this park includes
the spring cleaning, which is no small
lob, as every foot of ground must be
raked over on account OF the leaves which

We have improved and adorned the

FORESTRY.
The records Of this department show
that there was removed by order OF the
city government number of trees. also
quite a number OF dead and dangerous
trees that had been killed by the intro
duotion of electricity for illumination
and power. The increase of gas and water
piping added to the increasing number Of
horses to gnaw and vehicles to scrape the
trees, are all modern conditions which
conspire against the health and lite Oh
our shade trees, which are no less sure In
their results because their operations are
often slow and secret; and probably there
have been more shade trees ruined in the
city of Portland by the gnawing Of horses
than in any other city In the New Eng
land states
The chief item of expense in this dc.
partmeut Is Ia the trimming Of trees al
the request of AUDITORS. A very few oi
these requests are given with reference to
the welfare of the tree. but in most cases
are made because OF some Inconvenience
to the tenants of abutting property. The
conclusion to be drawn from these facts
is that the commissioners use mostly
their own Judgment In all cases OF tins
kind.
In closing this report, the commits
sioners would suggest to the new city
government the actual need of, at least.
three lavatories being built at once. one
at Lincoln park and one on euch OF oui
promenades, and the building OF them
should not be delayed another year.
