The regular meeting OF the Board of
Directors was held last Friday even
ing. Nothing of Importance came be-
fore the directors, and the evening
was spent in reviewing the recent
work of the Association and planning
for the coming season S labors.
The athletic exhibition to be given
in Bernardsville by the boys Friday
evening, March 22nd, is calling forth
their best efforts and they are hard at
work putting on finishing touches,
that the evening may be a success.
A needed Improvement is soon to be
made in the lighting of the gymnas-
ium and plans are now under discus
sion.
The Sunday afternoon services are
now led by some of the boys, instead
of obtaining leaders from outside
sources.
Anticipating the coming of the
Fadettes Woman's Orchestra whose
concert Monday evening, March 18th
closes the Star Course, word about
it may not be out of place. The or
chestra consists of twenty one young
women under the capable leadership
of Mrs. Caroline B. Nichols, who
since it's formation in 1888 has been its
conductor. Miss Bertha Webb the
solo violinist, is a remarkable player
and adds greatly to the fine aggrega-
tion of musicians.
Remember the Association will
gladly repurchase any tickets which
holders can not use for this concert.

NEW BUILDING OPENED.
The State Hospital is Now Occu-
pying It's New Quarters.

AT last the new building of the New
Jersey State Hospital is completed.
After six years of labor, and BY the
expenditure of half million dollars
says the Newark Call, the work has
been finished and the building is now
occupied.
Tt is magnificent structure of
granite and red sandstone, but it will
forever remain monument to the
shortsightedness of Legislators who
grudgingly doled out funds from the
public purse and strnng the work
along over a period of half dozen
years at cost of $500, 900 when it
might have been completed in eighteen
months at an expenditure of $500, 600
to $3.50, 900.
But the money is gone and cannot be
recalled. What the State has to show
for it is certainly a credit to the
builders. The stone for the building
was quarried on the place. This
greatly reduced the cost.
The building is four stories high
and covers about an acre of ground.
1t is built on an elevation to the
northwest of the main building and
fully 100 feet above it. The construc-
tion is on the dayroom and dormitory
PLAN
In the basement are rooms for the
general work of the hospital also q
fine rain bath, the Gegenstron system.
On the first floor are the dayroom,
assembly dining hall, kitchen and
amusement hall. The second and third
floors are devoted to dormitories and
the fourth story to an attic. The
building will hold 800 patients, but
at present only 100 male patients are
quarteled there.
The amusement hall is a spacious
room, capable of seating 800 persons,
and it is here that all entertainments
will be held in the future.
The dining room is large affair,
in which all the patients can be fed
at one time. 1t is contiguous to the
kitchen, so that all the meals can be
served hot. The patients enter the dim
ing room in two files, take their places
behind their chairs and at two taps on
the gong all are seated. After the
meal the exit is made in the same
way.
In the rain bath in the basement
forty patients can be washed in an
hour. This is the only rain bath in
the State. 1t is said to be fine for
persons of a nervous temperament.
/ lConnecting the main building and
the new one is tunnel l,600 feet
long, eight feet wide and ten feet
high. This tunnel was dug for half
its length through solid rock and is
all underground. The grade i'll it is
very heavy. The tunnel is used for
the transportation of supplies, steam,
heat and electricity. AT present the
cars in the tunnel are run by cable
system but it is expected ultimately
that they will be propelled by cleo
tricity, each car having It's own
motor. This tunel alone cost SIG, 600.
Another large expense was the new
reservoir. This is built on the hills out
on the Dover road and cost $40, 600.
! The reservoir is lined with a four inch
layer of cement
Although the building is now oc-
cupied the formal opening will not
take place until some time this
Spring. when the Governor and his
staff will be present. The day will
be named by the Governor.

Dr.. couItas Called to TERN Haute.

The Rev. Dr. Coultas of the Methodist
Church stated to the Board of that
church at its session on Monday evening
that he had a cordial and urgent invita-
tion to return to former pastorate at
Terre Haute, INDIANA, and requested the
appointment of committee to see if the
transfer can be made. Such commit
tee was appointed and with DR.. Conltas
they are taking the matter under advise
ment.
They are about building very fine
church at Terre Haute and want their
iormer pastor to lead in the movement
Under his former pastorate in their
church, three chapels were built, and
they are now prosperous and self-sus-
tanning churches. Over eight hundred
members were added to the church and
chapels under his former pastorate, and
they naturally seek him for new for
ward movement in that city. DIR.
Coultas' pastorate in this city-prosper-
ous-harmonious- with regret. A
cordial invitation was extended to DIR.
Coultas to return to Morristown another
year if the transfer is not made.
DR.. Coultas came to MorFistown four
years ago, from indianapolis, where his
pastorate had been fully successful as
that at Terre Houte. During his stay
in this city he has fully sustained his
reputation as an earnest and able preach
er, while the additions to the church
have been numerous and its work kept
well along forward lines. 1t is TO be
hoped that after all DR.. Coultas can see
his way clear to remain in Morristown
at least until the expiration Of his term,

NEW GAS OFFICERS
Old Board OF Directors RssIsns-Not
Longer Local.

Longer Local.
Negotiations which have been pending
for sometime between the directors of
the Morristown Gas Light Company
and John l. Waterbury, president of
the Manhattan Trust Company, of
New York, and Robert d. Foote,
president of the National Iron
Bank, of this city have been consul
mated and the sale has been made,
it is rumored ON a basis of 5000 per
share for the gas stock. The par value
is 800 and capital $3.50, 900, which
makes the reported figure at which
the transfer was made $500, 600 not UNI
likely. The stock has paid dividend
of s per cent. annually with not in
frequent specials and it has been CON
sidered as one Of the best Investments
in Ithis section of the State The
present officials are President, Henry
W. Miller; president, Philander
B. Pierson, secretary and treasurer,
James r. Voorhees,; directors in
addition to the foregoing r. d. Foote,
W. B. SKidmore and Eugene Wander
pool, of Newark. The latter is a
prominent official in the Hudson and
Essex Gas Co., and it is understood
he has been buying Morris Gas Co.
stock for several years.
The Morristown Gas Go. was char
tered in the early 40's. It's charter is
exceedingly liberal. Recently the
Board of Freeholders of this county
voted it franchise to lay mains along
the county road through Madison and
Chatham, to the Essex County line
where tits presumed connection will
be made when the plans are completed
with the Hudson and Essex sytsem.
The plant in Morristown has been ex-
tensiyely enlarged of late and many
additional miles of mains have been
laid throughout the city and suburbs.

Lehigh Valley Railroad Wants to

The bill introduced by the Democratic

In Morris county its passage would
mean great hardships in many manufac-
turing districts.

The bill introduced by Senator Pitney
providing for the appointment of com

suffi cient confidence in the majority in
the Senate to believe that the Lebigh

"grab" will not pass that body. In the

by Senator Hudspeth,
