Y. M. A. Notes.

The library of the Association still
seems to increase in size, ten new vol
umes of literature being the latest addi-
ton.
Benjamin A. M. Schapiro of New
York will address the mems meeting
Sunday afternoon at Ais. His subject
will be ''The Jew and the Christian
Neighbor."
About two hundred youthful delegates
were in attendance at the Boys conven-
ton held in Elizabeth Friday and Satur-
day of last week. Among the boys who
were in attendance from the Morristown
Y. M. G. A. were Ernest Tiger, Allie
Freeman, Willard Cutler, Edward
Whitehead, Chester Fighter, Angelo
Bennell, Clifford zimmerman, Fred
Tompkins, Alfred Bell, Thomas Homan,
Charles Vernon. Leo Hall, Harry
Thatcher, Floyd Stiles. Henry Carroll,
Raymond Heath, Raymond Coghlan,
Merritt Lacey, Edward Clark and E.
Harold Pavie. During Saturdays ses-
sion Alfred Bell of this city read paper
on 'Social Work, which we publish in
part as follows:
"The social feature in Association
work, especially among boys is of far
greater Importance than is often given
It. 1t is claimed that the main object
for which the Association was instituted
takes second place and that too much is
done along the line OF entertaining,
causing the boy to feel he is member
of some social club instead Of a religious
organization. Unfortunately those crit
les were either born old or have forgot
ten they were once young. Do not at
tempt to force upon the boy those puri-
tanical ideas, but let us surround him
with innocent and amusing games. In
no better place can this be done than In
the boys department Of the Y. NC. A."

Congressman Fowler and Sen ator
McCarter Make Telling Speeches.
Morristown is not accustomed to such
political demonstrations in off, years
as that held by the Republicans on
Wednesday night in the Lyceum. The
decorating by George Green was of
artistic design. flags and bunting being
tastefully arranged with fine picture
of President Roosevelt in the back
ground. Those who were inclined
to say that the Republicans of the
town and county are not particu-
larly interested in the preliminary
details of the campaign, should have
been present upon that occasion, when
if it had been their good fortune to
obtain entrance, because of the mum.
Der in attendance, they would have
heard one of the best discussions Of the
issues of the campaign ever presented
Included in the eudience were num-
Der of ladies, who with hundreds Of
thinking voters packed the theatre.
Gfinnell Willis, always welcome as q
presiding officer, introduced the speak
ers of the evening The music which
was excellent, was rendered by the
Metropolitan Glee Club Of New York

who for several terms has ably repre-
sented Essex county in the Upper House.

es, prefacing it with number of capi-
tai hits, until as he said he finally "got
down to business
Mr.. McCarter contrasted the State
records of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, showing how that under
the latter administration the money of
the tax payers was both stolen and ex-
travagantly expended. He quoted fig
ures which are well known matters of
history. showing how the Republicans
had fulfilled their promises, and that
today the affairs of the State were in
magnificent shape, while the taxpayers
were reaping the benefit of wise and
prudent expenditure of State funds.
The speaker was frequently applauded
and held the closest attention of his
audience.
Mr.. Fowler was greeted with hear
ty applause as he acknowledged the
graceful introduction Of Mr.. Willis
His speech was one of the best argu-
ments ever presented for continuing
the Republican party in power. He
paid graceful compliment to Frank
lin Murphy and the county candi-
dates closing with an eloquent tribute
to the memory of William Mckinley.

CHASING THE PIGSKIN.
Madison Wins from Morris Plains
MorrIssown School Defeated at
BROOKLYN.

MADISON A. A. 90. MORRIS PLAINS 0.
The Morris Plains Foot Ball team
played its first game of the season Sat-
urday on the Athletic grounds at Madi
son, and was easily defeated by the team
of that place.
The game began at o'clock, the visi-
tors winning the toss and choosing the
east goal. On the kickoff Abel caught
the oval and ran it back fifteen yards
before he was laid low by Schenck.
After steady line bucking and an end
run of forty yards by Foote the ball was
carried to Morris Plains ten yard line,
where Abel was pushed over for the
first touchdown. Parrott, however.
failed to kick the goal and the score
stood so.
On the next lineup Lindabury made
a pretty run of forty-five yards around
Morris Plains right end for the second
touchdown. Parrot kicked the goal
and two minutes later the half closed
with the ball on Morris Plains eight
yard line.
The second half opened with Foote
making touchdown after three min
utes of play and Parrott again kicked
an easy goal. On the next kickoff
Baker ran the ball back forty yards be-
fore Schenck pulled him to the ground
and on the following pass Lindabury
spun around the visitors right end for
fifty more. At this point Morris Plains
made desperate stand, but on the third
down Parrott was pushed the remaining
distance of three yards for the fourth
and last touchdown, but failed at his
try for goal.
For the visitors Schenck was tower
of strength, making some beautiful
tackles and gaining considerable ground
for his team the few times they had the
ball
For Madison, the playing of Abel,
Compton, Lindabury, Foote and Baker,
is worthy of note. Lineup:

BROOKLYN HIS. 23 MoRRISTOwN SCHOOL
Morristown Schools long chain of
victories was broken at Prospect Park
Wednesday by the Brooklyn High
School, the score being $50. 1t was not
a defeat to be ashamed of. however, as
Morristown was badly handicapped in
weight and also in not having Behr
at fullback. On the kickoff, Brinker-
hoff caught the ball and ran it back
fifteen yards. Brooklyn now started
off with rush that swept everything
before it and on four end runs by
Brinkerhoff and Welstead carried the
oval over the line for the first touch
down--time two minutes. Reed kicked
the goal and the score stood Brooklyn
6, Morristown O. On the next lineup
after Brooklyn had tried several CEN
ter plays and failed to gain, the ball
was passed to Schoeningham, who
skirted Morristown's right end for
the second touchdown. Reed, how
ever, failed at goal, score Brooklyn II,
Morristown o.
In the next scrimmage Weeks
emerged from the mass and with the
ball under his arm rushed down the
field for what seemed to everyone a
touchdown. Referee Roden, who
happened to be the Brooklyn team 3
coach, naturally claimed the play to
be off side and the ball was brought
back.
After several long end runs Schoen-
ingham went over the line for the
the third touch down. Reed kicked
the goal; score, Brooklyn II, Nor
ristown O. Upon the next lineup
Morristown held Brooklyn for downs
on their five yard line and Kobbe

WEEKLY DRAMATIC NOTES.
IrvIne's New York Eusauement.-''Ii
lWers . King"
(FoR THE cHRoNIcLE. J


After the food of drama;ized novels
with which we have been deluged these
two years past it is relief to encounter
a play which has first seen the light as a
play and not the hashed and garbled
revision of book whose chief claim to
distinction is circulation of half mil
lion copies. Such play is IF were a
King" at the Garden Theatre, and il it
be true that Justin Huntley Mccarthy
has worked and waited fifteen years for
this success he has done well. Many
men there are, who can work well, but
few have the patience to wait wisely.
AS speciman of the romantic drama it
is one of the best seen here in years.
The lines are written in graceful poetic
English, and some charming bits OF
verse are introducedwith good effect.
The scene is laid at the court of Louis
XII, Of France, and opportunity is thus
given for some splendid stage pictures,
A number of fictitious incidents in the
life of Francois Villon-poet, gamester
drunkard, and rogue, serve as ground
work for the drama and give Mr.. Soth.
ern an excellent opportunity for some
very able acting and for a display Of
those talents which are peculiarly his
own.
In the role of Lady Katherine de Van
culles, Miss LOTUS surpasses herself.
George w. Wilson, as the crafty Louis
and Susanne Sheldon, as Huguette, are
both more than good. while the large
supporting company has been well
chosen.
At this late day but little that is new
can be said of the splendid art of Henry
Irving, the foremost actor on the stage
today. Three weeks seems a short time
to devote to the New York engagement
when the Knickerbocker could be filled
to overfiowing for thrice that period.
The management seems at last to have
been victorious in its war on the specu-
lators, 80 that it is now far easier for
the public to obtain good seats at the
box Office than it has ever been before.
The sale of seats for the next land
last week opens today, the bill being
as follows: Monday, Tuesday and
Saturday evenings. Merchant of We
nice" Wednesday evening; MADAME
Suns Gene" Thursday evening, and
Saturday matinee "Louis XI''; Friday
