CHARLTON 7. LEWIS

/ cannot allow the passing away OF
Charlton T.. Lewis without a few words
not Of eulogy, but Of truth.
Possessed Of a splendid intellect, his
position was fully recognized by the
scholars of Europe as well as his own
country. His books we're adopted and
used by Oxford and Cambridge, and he
was a welcome guest at these great
universities. OF his eloquence we in
New Jersey had often tasted, and Of
ten had been spell-bound under its
power.
In the very front rank as critic, he
has delighted and held captive the
members Of the Shakespeare Club OF
this town for these many years at their
Monday nights, where he has with
such exquisite fancy and such poet
ical insight laid bare the thoughts of
the great poet. Many times have we
greatly regretted that his marvellous
ly beautiful thoughts should not be
pACoCfANus
With all these gifts he was yet kind
and courteous, and free from the pois-
on of self-conceit.
But beyond and above these acquire
ments and these rich endowments his
heart was overlooking with all kindli-
ness. / never knew him to refuse a
request to speak or work or write for a
good cause. However weary, he was
always ready.
The charitable people Of this and
many other States will not be able to
find his successor.
Humanity is the poorer for his loss.
His noble influence was not bounded
by county or state lines. He will be
long and widely mourned. F. G. B.

PASTIMES WIN FROM
NORTH END A. c.

AT the end of the third inning with
the score three to nothing against
them, with only one hit to their credit
while the North Ends had batted out
five, the outlook was certainly not
very encouraging for Pastime vic
tory. But then change came. The
visitors seemed to have exhaused their
resources, while the Pastimes had not
brought theirs into play yet. The
North Ends hits became so few and
far between that nothing that looked
like a run appeared in view until the
ninth. In this inning Babbitt came
to the bat, and reached first on sim
gle, Browning following advanced Bah
bitt to third and reached second him
self on double. But then they
spoiled their chances to score by let
ting Martins 90 out for failing to bat
in order, and Gable and Browning
went out together on double play.
On their part the Pastimes managed
to squeeze in run in the fourth by a
two-base hit, aided by an error by Van
Ness, and two more in the next by a
base on balls, Dempsey's two bagger
and Browns S sacrifice, thus tying the
score. In the seventh inning, the
only one in which they used their bats
freely, three hits with the assistance
Of passed ball and an error by Cam
eron in left field netted them four
runs

JOHN ]. O'CONNOR TO
STUDY CHANT ABROAD,

The Jersey City Journal says
John j. O'Connor Of 134 Grand street,
a former pupil Of the late Prof. Joseph
b. Ferry of st. Peters r. G. Church
sailed last week on steamship Majestic
for trip abroad, where he will ad.
vance his knowledge Of the Gregorian
chant.
For the past three years Mr.. O'Con-
nor, who is only 20 years old, has been
located with Rev. Dean Flynn of the
Church of Assumption Of Morristown,
and formed and instructed choir Of
sixteen boys, which is now connected
with the mems choir Of the church.
Before leaving on his "trip the young
soloist was given a banquet by the
members of the choir and presented
with gold watch fob and large
basket Of American beauty roses. Rev.
Dean Flynn at the banquet paid a
glowing tribute to the yonng man and
spoke highly Of his musical talent,
which he said woald be missed greatly
by the Church Of Assumption during
his absence.
At this church the Gregorian chant
is in vogue, and the purpose Of the
young musicians visit abroad will be
not only for pleasure but he will also
learn considerable about the chant as
it is provided in the Catholic monas
teries on the other side.
He will first visit St. Werbergs
Monastery at Chester, England, and
will remain there about month. At
this Monastery the chant has been
sung for centuries.
He win then proceed to the Isle OF
Wight and viii locate at the Benedict
um Monastery, where the original
solemn chant is given at both the mass
and yesper services each day.
At this monastery he will remain
until the latter part of August and
will return home about the middle Of
September. He will then remain with
his family for a month and will take
up his old charge at Morristown.
He was educated at st. Peters Pa
rochial School and st. Peters College,
and joined st. Peters choir when he
was but years old. The late Prof.
Ferry detected the music in the youth
and began the cultivation of the tai
ent.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL CONCERT
OF MR.. AND MRS. YOUNG,

The annual concert of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward M. Young's music school has
come to be one of the leading musical
events Of each year and is looked for
ward to by many people. In fact SO
many people having become interested
in the work Of Mr.. and Mrs. Young
they have found the largest hall in
town none too big to accommodate
The music lovers who desire to attend.
1t is an assured fact that, considering
the fine program that has been pre-
pared, Lyceum Hall on the evening of
June tenth, will be well filled with
the friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Young and
their pupils. The Treble Clef club
and the quartet had to be omitted
this year owing to the many younger
pupils who will take part. Several
promising voices will be heard for the
first time at this concert. The first
part of the program, which is devoted
to the juvenile department, will open
with violins and cello, ten players.
A concerto in d minor for the piano
by Mozart played by Miss Wise with
the orchestral part played on a second
piano by Mr.. Young will open the
second, which will be made up Of sell
ections by the intermediate and adj
vanced pupils. Among other instru-
mental numbers will be selections
from Grieg and Mendelssohn played by
Miss Capstick and an impromptu in a
fiat minor by Schubert played by Miss
Blanche Post. Schubert's "The
Wanderer,n and Arditi's Magnetic
Waltz are two Of the interesting
vocal numbers that have been ar
ranged. Owing to the length Of the
program the concert will begin prompt
ly at a quarter before eight. Reserved
seats may be procured at the drug
store Of Henry VI. Smith after Satur-

THE TRUNK SEWER IS
NOW COMPLETED.

The trunk sewer from Summit to
Bayway, near Elizabeth, is completed
and was inspected BY the Trunk Sewer
Commission last week.
The structure, was begun a little
more than two years ago, and it is es-
timated that the total cost will be
about s750,0oO. The drainage area of
the completed system is sos square
miles, and that of the additional ter
ritory which it may cover later, is 1873.
The main sewer, in the building of
which all the municipalities have
joined, has 23.05 miles Of conduit, and
the laterals which the towns have
constructed at individual expense will
bring the grand total up to over 1855
miles.
The municipalities which will direct
lly benefit by the new sewer and which
entered into the plan for its construc-
tion in the beginning are Newark,
South Orange, West Orange, Irving
ton, Milburn, Vailsburgh and Sum
nit. Only portion Of Newark, how
ever, is drained BY the system. Eliza
beth and Roselle Park have also en-
tered into the undertaking, and por-
tions of these places are or are to be
drained The sewer at the point of
outlet is seyenty-two inch fiume,
which extends back 1000 feet inland.
These facts are Of interest in con-
nection with the sewer:
Cost of the entire system, s75o,000.
Total territory drained, 81 square
miles.
Proposed Morristown branch Is
square miles.
Trunk sewer, If laid end to end,
would extend 155 miles.
Anticipated additions are to Norris
town, Madison, Chatham and Morris
Plains. Trunk line leading to Summit
is large enough to provide for these
branches.
Tunnel section at Headleytown COM
plete is $3.50 feet long,
The idea Of a joint sewer originated
In South Orange in 1896, with three
municipalities interested.
Practically the entire work has been
done in the last two years.
1t was necessary to have enacted a
general law to enable SO many munich
palities to enter into an agreement for
a joint sewer to tidewater.
The cost of purchasing the right of
way was about $4,000, an average Of
IA cents q foot for the trunk line.
