A ZULU PRIZE WINNER.

Pfxley Isalza seme Wins Gold Medal
for Oratory at Columbia University.
Pixley Isaka Seme, who spoke at
the meeting Of the Dube League in
the First Baptist Church on Wednes-
day evening, on the day following won
the Low gold medal for oratory at Col
umbia University. He came to Amer
lea when fifteen years of age and in
tends to take a course at Oxford after
graduating from Columbia.
When asked about the present con
dition OF affairs in South Africa he
said that he thought the success OF
the British would be the best thing
for his people, as the English had done
much for the Zulu's in the past He as
serted that the present difficulty was
over the question Of a poll tax, which
the natives objected to paying, and
would probably be cleared up when the
British came to a thorough under
standing of their subjects.
This understanding he hopes to be
instrumental in bringing about when
after he has taken a course in Oxford
he becomes native attorney-general.
Seme is interested in many Other
things besides his college work. HI
has taken a course in type-writing and
stenography, as well as night schoo
course in the construction and opera
tion of automobiles. He has spent
two summers on a farm and says hi
enjoys the work. He says that he has
taken up all Of these things because
he belives they are part Of the pro
gressive American life, and hopes tx
Introduce them in Zululand.

two special EIeotions.

Chatham will have two special cleo
tions on May Is. The first is the pro-
ject of new municipal building, and
the second is the starting of a free
public library. The OLD town circulat-
ing library will be used as a basis OF
the new one, and the whole affair will
probably be housed in the same build
ing with other municipal offices. The
site for municipal building is the
source of much discussion, but the
issue has narrowed down to two plots,
both centrally located, one on Main
street and the other on Fairmount
avenue, short distance from the CEN
tire Of the village The new building
win be'of brick or stone and will house
the Mayors Office, the council rooms,
the judiciary, the collectors and bor-
ough clerks office, the town jail and
the free public library. The work on
the new structure will be started as
soon as the special election is held
next month.

STEAM ROAD ROLLERS.

savers in several Ways.

Do Several Things and Are Money
savers in Several Ways.
The steam road roller which the
board of aldermen authorized on Fri
day is of the Buffalo-P Pitts type made
by the Buffalo Roller Co. The gross
weight of the machine is "a 500 pounds.
The boiler will carry 250 pounds steam
pressure and the minimum horse pow
er is guaranteed to be twenty-four,
although the makers claim the en-
ginees will develop forty-ive horse
power. There are three rollers on the
machine, the front one being forty
four inches in diameter and forty
seven and a half inches wide. The
two rear ones, which do most of the
work, as they carry two-thirds of the
load, are eighteen inches broad and
sixty-nine inches high, the rims being
cOncave to fit the shape Of the road.
The machine is equipped with steel
picks to put in the rear wheels to tear
up roads and besides rolling will pull
a plow, doing the work of twenty
horses, or road scraper or scarifier to
roughen the roads, The machine has
a top, also curtains to drop down over
the machinery.
The town should buy a road ma
chine at once to use with the roller
and shape up a lot of the streets, which
are badly in need Of smoothing

AN OBSTINATE AUTOMOBILE.

a. w. Thei1er's Auto Creates Excite-
ment for the Rockaway Fire Dept.
A. w. Theiler wishes now that he
had accepted an offer Of $500 made for
his automobile last week. He pur-
chased it of L. Stines two years ago,
when the latter wanted larger car
and Mr.. Theiler thinks he bought
hoodoo with it, for it was forever be-
coming stalled when away from home
and cost him more than it's original
cost for repairs. Last year he started
with Mr.. and Mrs. Lippman and Mrs.
Theiler for Saratoga, but at Tarry-
town the machine blew up and was
left at the factory for repairs. 1t
came back in the course Of two or
three months with $3.50 for the work
on it. Then on several occasions
when he or his sons took out friends
in it, it refused to go when wanted to
return home. The end came on Sun
day when the two sons started for
Dover. At Rockaway near the rail-
road station they heard something
break and looking back saw a streak
of fire behind. Both jumped and just
in time to save themselves. The ma
chine took fire and the Rockaway fire
department was necessary to Quell
the flames. The machine is now a
candidate for the junk heap and Mr..
Theiler says his next purchase will be
flying machine, for of automobiles
he has had enough.

About seventy-dve houses are GO
ing up in Montclair costing about
So. 600 each. The electrification of the
Lackawanna r. r. is expected to
make wonderful changes in this sec
tion. In the Oranges houses cannot

the requirements for new comers, as
New Workers. are emigrating there in
large numbers. Rutherford, Ridge
wood, Englewood and Hackensack
have practically the same story to
tell Of the inability to meet the de-
mand for houses. At Englewood 300
houses aud three churches are under
way. Railway has not seen SO much
building in a generation. In West
Hoboken, Onion Hill, Highwood Park,
etc. there are ten applications for
every house to rent. Long Island may
be having It's boom, but the Jerseys
are also coming on remarkably.

THE SOCIETY MINSTRELS.
Memorial Hospital Benefit for the
New Building Fund.


New Building Fund.
When the young men OF the Asso-
citation gave their minstrel entertain
ment some weeks ago many were the
requests for repetition, but at that
time lent was upon us and SO the mat
ter was not pushed. Now however, in
the interest of the new building fund,
the young men who took part in the
first entertainment have consented to
put on another and with the co-opera-
tion of the ladies it win be a great
success.
AS there is to be no fair this year,
all the young people are being inter-
ested in this benefit and it is aimed to
make it a big event for the hospital.
In the afternoon there will be cake
and candy and flower sale under the
supervision of the ladies' and young
people at the Lyceum and in the
evening the candy sale will be con-
tinued, so that those who are not able
to attend the sale in the afternoon
may get an opportunity to buy. The
show will be given in the Lyceum on
Wednesday evening, April 18th.
The sale Of seats for the evening
entertainment is in charge of Uhe boys
of the Morris Academy, who have
taken hold of it with will and full
house is issured. The prices of seats
have been put at S1.00 and $1.50, with
some IS cent seats to be had the night
of the entertainment. AS this is the
only affair for the hospital this year,
every one should make it a point to
get tickets and attend the entertain
ment, for the quality Of the perfor-
nance win be high. The testimony
of many at the last minstrel show was,
that it was the best amateur minstrel
show ever seen in Morristown.

Grinnell Willis, Mrs Frederick w.

PLAYERPIANO, the non-play-
ing musical family has the master
pieces Of the ages in musical com
position at command for playing
by any member without knowledge
Of the keyboard.
An artist said to us the other day:
0This is the practical age: it wants re-
suits and gets them. In no better
way is the truth of this assertion indi-
Gated than in the success of the Lauter
Playerpiano as a means of rendering
music by the non-player, and music
that is thoroughly artistic, music that
Is as much of the souI as music produced
by the manipulation Of the keyboard
with the human fingers.
The Lauter Playerpiano is an
ideally perfect instrument. 1t brings
music into the home that may scarce
" have known it before, although an
idle piano may have been in the parlor
always. This instrument provides not
