sion and feeling, all classes Of musical
composition. With this instrument
anybody can play with facility and
ease classical, popular, vocal, dance,

of music.
A little consideration will con-
vince you that as a means of musical
expression, as an assistance to musical
culture, the Lauter Playerpiano must
be of inestimable value. AS mat
ter of fact, it has gone into the most
refined homes, and has beer. accepted
by pedagogs, professional men and
intellectual people generally as em-
bodying practically limitless musical
possibilities for the family.
We want you to investigate this
beautiful instrument for yourself. Ii
is the ideal piano for the home. 1t can
not only be played with the aid Of
music-roll and treadlcs, but it can, in
addition, be played BY hand il the
regular way. It is really TWO RI

A WELCOME IMPROVEMENT.
Ornamental Fountain Proposed For
East Park Place.

Ornamental Fountain Proposed For
East Park Place.
The board Of alderman held spec
ial meeting last Tuesday evening with
all the aldermen present except Alder
man Lewis. r. K. Mills and John R..
Brinley were present with the maps
and sketches of the proposed improve
ment on the east side Of the Park.
They stated that the doner desired to
complete the walk around the Park
and further planned to grade up the
green spot between the Park and the
Park House, lay a granite coping
around it and erect a. handsome foun-
tain for man and beast, about on the
site Of the present fountain. The
plans showed a very ornamental foun-
tain with large bowl for horses,
much on the same style as the foun-
tain at James Park, Madison. In
front Of the fountain is to to be a paw
ing Of Belgian blocks, while the path
at the back will be paved with brick.
The area improved will be sodded and
shrubbery planted OUT
On motion the board granted the
permission to lay the walks around
the Park, also authorized the re-
moval of the present fountain to
such place as the S. P. G. A., the
donor may decide. Mr.. Brinley ex-
pressed the, idea that the fountain
should be placed somewhere i'll Nor
ristown and Mayor Reed said it was
his idea that a good place could be
found at the triangle by the railroad
station, or else at the triangle at
South and Elm streets, but the mo-
tion prevailed as stated. Permission
was also given for the changes on the
small green patch so far as the alder
men can do SO. Alderman Day was
appointed special committee to at.
eempt the removal Of the poles now
crossing the site of the small park.
The contract for laying the drain
from Madison avenue along Jefferson
avenue was awarded to M. Mulhall for
81, ,526.25. There were two bidders,
the other being $1,000.
Alderman Mowery moved that the
board in behalf Of the citizens Of Nor
ristown express their thanks to the
donors of this fine improvement. Mr..
Brinley said the motion should be
amended somewhat, as it is one man
who is making the gift and doing it in
the hope that civic pride may be
awakened and other gifts follow.

MORRIS COUNTY COURTS,

In the criminal court on Monday.
John W. Chase retracted his plea OF
not guilty to criminal abuse Of fe-
male child and plead guilty instead.
Charles Van Lavender also retracted
and plead guilty tcsassault and bat
terry on Ethel Pool, a young girl.
George Till was tried for abuse OF
Emma Karlson, another young girl
and was convicted.
Benjamin Jefferson retracted his
former plea and plead guilty of horse
stealing. On account OF his just get
ting released from the State prison
sentenced was suspended and he was
put in the custody of the probation
officer for two years. The others were
remanded for sentence.
Frederick Miller, who plead guilty
to charge of manslaughter in the
killing Of the late e. @. Humbert, Of
Madison. was fined 81, 900 and costs
which he paid. Miller was running
an automobile which frightened Hum
bert's horse and resulted in Humbert s
death.
On Wednesday morning Henry Stew
ems, who had plead not guilty to a
charge of murder in killing James
VanBlarcom, of East Orange, at Port
Morris last May was brought before
the court and retracted his plea Of not
guilty and made one of non vault. A
conference had been held between
Justice Garretson, Judge Mills, Prose
cutOr Rathbun and Elmer King and
ID. It. Barkman. On the plea being
taken, MIR. Rathbun moved that SEN
tence be pronounced and Mr.. King de-
clared that he had nothing further to
say.
Justice Garretson said it became
the duty of the court to impose SEN
tence for second degree murder, by
reason OF the acceptance of the plea.
After considering the testimoney, the
court and prosecutor had become con-
WINGED that it was not possible to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt tile
intent required by law that the kill
ing was Wilfull deliberate and pre-
mediuated. The prisoner was In that
condition Of mind that 1t was impos-
sible to make up his mind or deliber-
ate on the subject. He had been
drinking and did not realize the situa-
tion. The fatal shot was fired when
in chat condition OF mind. Unfortu-
nately the man killed was entirely in
nocent OF wrong doing against the
prisoner. He. said it was difficult tC

REPUBLICAN COMMITTEES MEET

On Thursday. Dine, and Listen to Sem
ator Dryden ana q. n. Fowler.
The annual meeting of the township
and ward Republican committees Of
Morris county was held at Republican
Headquarters on thursday. There
was large attendance and it was pro-
nounced by all present to be the most
enthusiastic and enjoyable gathering
Of the kind ever held in the county.
And there was every reason for its be-
ing so, as encouraging reports were
made from all sections Of the county,
and the occasion was honored by the
presence of two distinguished guests
Hon. John f.. Dryden and Hon. Charles
N. Fowler.
After the interchange of greetings
the party sat down to an excellent din
|ner served in the lodge room on the
third floor by Piper.
After due attention had been given
to the edibles Senator Hillery, in the
regrettable absence Of Chairman Nc
Graw, called the gathering to order,
and congratulated Them upon the fact
that the men present were members
of the best party, that they were the
party-the firing 9Of Morris county
He then spoke of the work accom-
plished by the last Legislature in the
matter of reform, citing the various
acts passed and the beneficent results
that had and will come from them
He then introduced Senator John f..
DRYDEN. who was received with hearty
cheers.
The Senator said he was glad to
meet the Ring q; it had the right
ring because it was a Republican ring.
He spoke of the great results achieved
by the Republican Congress In taking
up great principles that had lain dor
mant since the adoption Of the Consti-
| tuition and putting them In practical
operation. He paid high tribute to
Congressman Fowler, and said itw0nld
be step backward to overturn the
present Republican administration.
Mr.. Fowler was introduced and re-
ceived an ovation. He gave 2hilo-
sophie disquisiti0n on the evolution Of
reforms in the last 1900 years and said
the Republican party was the logical
outcome OF the evolution as 1t was the
i party OF reform. He also said that the
Republicans of the State had made
known their choice for United States
Senator, which was our guest, John f.
! Dryden. This sentiment was applaud
ed most vigorously.
The nominees for Assembly, Messrs.
Chaplin and Buxton, spoke briefly, and
remarks were made by Messrs. COLES,
Waters, Whittier. Arthur, Duke and
others, and the meeting adjourned aft

State Road Commissioner Hutchin-
son put out an important ruling in bis
department this week--not to approve
the building of any road in any coun-
ty until he had been over the proposed
road and made a personal inspection
of the highway, in company with the
engineer Of the county and the road
committee of the Board of Freehold
ers. A modification to this rule will
be that the Deputy State Road Com
missioner Engineer Meeker. may 20
over the proposed road in lieu Of the
State Road Commissioner, only in
this case Mr.. Meeker's autograph
must be affixed in the blue print Of
the final plans.
| made this rule, " said Mr.. Hutch
inson, in order that saving may be
made to the county in which the road
is to be built. | lind that engineers
plan elegant roads on paper, but an
| inspection sometimes Of the land on
both sides of the road will show how q
couple of Thousand dollars may be
saved. AS the State pays one-third
of these moneys, it is worth saving tc
| the State, and doubly so in the coun-
ty, which pays two-thirds Of the con
struction. Also, in this way extras
may be cut off. l do not like extras
They eat up money, and while in some
cases they are unavoidable. believe
that boards of freeholders benefit
themselves and their constituent:
when they see that there are no ex
tras on any job.
8 AS to personal inspection Of The
land over which road is to be built
there certainly can result saving
For instance, had the department put
its foot down hard when the Harling
en- road was built in Somerset county
there would have resulted saving ot
two or three thousand dollars and one
of the worst death traps in the roads
avoided. Now it will pay to have in
spection of roads before any work il
done. I am doing this now"

New Time Table.


A new time table went into effect
on the Lackawanna on Sunday.
Changes between Morristown and New
York are very few, mostly only Of a
minute or SO. One train leaving here
at 7.22 p. M. instead Of 1872 as former
ly, is quickened by the cutting off of a
number of stops. On Sundays five
e lst-bound and four west-bound trains
are cut. West of Morristown there
are a number Of trains taken off and
it is now impossible to get down from
up the road after 7.22 p. n. The liza
p. M, train is started from Morris
Plains, instead of Morristown. Con-
ductor A. Ayers retains his night run,
leaving Morrisown at $40 o. M, and
getting back at 1922 p. m. Conductor
w. Ayers makes only one trip between
Morristown and Hoboken, but runs to
Montclair in the middle Of the day,
except on Saturdays when he runs to
Gladstone. Conductor Booth, who has
been running to Newton, comes to
Morristown and takes out the S.34 a.

BUSINESS MEMS CARNIVAL,
Under Auspices Y. NJ. c. A. in Lyce-

Under Auspices Y. M. G. A. in Lyce-
um Hall, Friday Even'g, Nov. 9th.
There is much genuine humor In
the coming Business Mems Carnival.
Almost every kind Of business in our
city will be represented, and the diff
ferent parts will be given in such an
amusing and delightful manner that
the evening will pass all too rapidly.
1t is full of winsome charm that
will interest and appeal to every one.
The program Of the Carnival is put on
in vaudeville form, brimful Of wit
and humor from start to finish.
1t is a combination of farce, musical
numbers and specialties, in which di-
verting songs and hilarious comedy
incidents abound. Much of its at
tractive tone is due to the songs that
go merrily jingling throughout. You
will find yourself humming Thurs
day, Little 30 Peep" " The Lovers
QUARREL, ~" Holding Hands and the
/" Dollar Song as you recognize them
among the never fry. But they will
be presented so uniquely and in such
gala attire, that you will enjoy them
none the less for being on speaking
terms. The Carnival opens with a
fancy drill participated in by the en-
tire cast in costume. The costumes
range from beautiful to ridiculous,
and the parade is study, full Of
brightness and catchy suggestions.
On the whole its most enlivening
and captivating performance, and the
Lyceum should be packed.

THE LAUTER PLAYERPIANO

Is there a person who, being un-
able TO play the piano, does not regret
the inability7 Who among us, if not
an ardent music-lover himself, has a
family among whom are not those who
crave music at all times but are unable
to satisfy their desire through inability
to play r Is there home that, being
without music now, would not become
a better and happier abode through
having it
It is unfortunately true that to the
great majority the ordinary piano must
remain silent instrument so far as
playing for himself OF herself is con-
cerned. Relatively few Of us are able
to play satisfactorily, for in this busy
world of ours but few have the time to
devote to the study Of the piano. AS
a result too many homes possessing a
piano are almost devoid Of music; too
many growing families are. without a
member capable of performing in a
manner to satisfy a moderately critical
person.
The Lauter Playerpiano changes
all this when it is taken into home.

The Opera.

The Beggar Prince drew a large
house last Tuesday night. The at
traction was altogether one of the
best we have had. The comedy
features especially were undoubt-
eddy the best ever seen in the house.
Fred Godding is an artist in his
line and Mr.. Burgess a good COM
panion. The Merry Monarch and
his Grand Chamberlain are enough
to make the show a winner. 1t
these fellows don't fetch a laugh
we pity the audience. There was
another surprise IN Mr.. Jewellers
voice. He is a genuine tenor singer
and a good one, too. His tones are
rich and full of melody and his
shading is magnificent. The power,
quality and poise are all there and
we wonder why he is not with
stronger cast. His voice, however,
is better suited to light opera The
dramatic elements are not as effec-
tive as those required for heavy
parts Mr.. Ledvell's solo was en-
joyed immensely The chorus gave
him very good support.
Union City would enjoy a return
Of the Beggar Prince, especially
Mr.. Leavelle and Mr.. Godding.

THE cousummate skill and the
