ing in Lyceum Hall. The program
was given by the Bostonia Sextette.

PLUNGED INTO LITERATURE.
Former Morristonian has now Become
an Author.

Carl G. Schmidt, who was for a
number of years organist in the First
Presbyterian Church of this place, has
gone into literature. Mr.. Schmidt
has not forsaken his music for litera-
ture by any means but has combined
the two in we'll written novel which
he has called "Notturnon and which
he published under the nom de plume
of George S. Carroll.
He has taken for his theme Chopin's
nocturne in G sharp minor and in it
develops a true American girl. He
has so interwoven the two and at the
same time has so well developed the
theme and the character, that it is a
book for both the musician and the
general reading public.
1t will have an especial interest TO
Morristonians as Mr.. Schmidt resided
here long enough to become closely
identified with Morristown and its
interests.

four predecessors. These were Nathan

TROUBLE WITH BRIDGE
\ Quicksand Foundation Is Found
Near Higgins ulvert

Near lIlRSlnS ulNefI
The railroad people are having
trouble over the culvert near the
Higgins place. Some weeks ago the
foundations began to sink and have
been very unstable since. 1t seems
that there is a bed of Qnieksand under
the foundations of the bridge
which has given no evidence of being
there until the last few weeks. The
company has found it necessary to
keep watchmen on the spot all the
time and all trains have orders to run
slowly over the bridge.
The company has had careful
examination made Of the trouble and
the engineers have decided that it will
be necessary to put in piling to a
sufficient depth to reach hard
foundation and then build new
foundations on them.

Interesting Services at Congregation
 B'nai Scholom and the Other Jewish
 Synagogues in This City Last Night.
 The members of Congregation B'nai Scholom attended the evening service at their Olive street synagogue last night in large numbers, and the ser vices were of much interest. Rabbi S. Kopplenan, an aspirant for the vacant pastorate of the synagogue, conducted the services and gave most interest ing and able lecture on the delivery of the ten commandments to Moses. This holiday in the Jewish calendar com memorates the giving of the ten com- mandments to Moses on Mount Sinai, and is one of the most important. Dur ing the services the ten commandments are read and discourses delivered on the same to the various congregations throughout the civilized world.
 The lecture was in English and was the first ever given in the synagogue in English, the customary language being German Rabbi Koppleman is young man, but very talented, and it is quite likely that he will be called by this congregation. He will conduct num-

vELOx DEMONSTRATION

To be Given at Paul Roessler's Sons
 Store This Afternoon and Evening.
 A demonstration of the famous velox paper will be given at the store of Paul Roessler's Son, the popular optical deal- CT, at S16 Chapel street. This paper meets one of the greatest requirements of all photographers. Other printing paper has sometimes made it difficult for amateurs to accomplish successful work, but with the introduction of this paper this difficulty has been removed. Instead of having to wait for sunlight, which is necessary for printing on all other kinds of paper, you simply have to place your frame in front of the lighted gas jet for a short while; then take the velox paper out, put it in the developer, afterward the Hypo, and then after washing it in water you have your picture all ready for mounting.
