WIN conduct both Houses.

James Barber of "The Elms" has
just acquired control of "The Colon
ial' on South street, and will open it
to guests about May first. The house
is to be entirely redecorated and re-
furnished, several suites with private
baths will be made. and private tele-
phones installed throughout. It is
Mr.. Barber's idea to conduct both
houses in tirst-class manner and it
will give Morristown what it has long
needed place where permanent and
transient guests, automobilists and
dinner parties may be entertained as
well as or better than at the best sea-
shore or mountain hotels. Mr.. Bar
ber's experience at Newport, New
York, and at the Morris County Golf
Club is sufficient guarantee Of the
quality Of service promised.

AN AGED VETERAN DEAD.
Preston Garland, che Oldest CoIored
Man in Town Dies.

Preston Garland, che Oldest CoIored
Man in Town Dies.
Preston Garland, who has resided at
the corner Of Spring and Water streets
formany years died last Monday night.
For a number of years past he had
served as sexton Of the A. M. E.
Church and passed much Of his Time
fishing. Garland claimed to be hun
dred and seven years OF age and said
he had seen Washington, Jefferson,
jackson and other early notabIes.
The common impression is that he
did not know how old he was and a
careful inquiry made when he received
his pension would seem to show that
he was in the nineties. He was born
in slavery in Virginia, and as young
man was sold to a driver in Louisiana
where he received pretty hard treat
ment, but through the death Of his
master was again transferred. At the
time Of the war his owner freed all his
slaves and Garland went with the
federal troops, serving in the Mississ-
ippi campaigns. After the war he Sc
cured employment as cook in the
United States navy and later came to
Morristown as cook at the Mansion
House and later found employment in
other capacities. He was married in
slavery days, but he was separated
from his family by his sale.

Putting off until tomorrow what
you can do to-day is a proverbiaI
weakness when it comes to the matter
Of buying a piano. Probably half the
number Of all the people who purchase
from US tell US that they should have
bought long ere they did, and that
they regret the delay. There is scarce
" a family that you know that is now
without piano that has not talked for
a long time past Of buying one.
A piano ii the home is one Of the
really delightful things that make life
worth while. Everybody admits the
desirability Of having one, and every
body makes up his mind to get one.
The reason why most homes that have
no piano now are without one is not
far to find; it IS simply matter Of
procrastination.
There is no reason at all why your
home should be no longer without
piano. You can come here and select
from our magnificent stock Of Lauter
and other instruments the piano that
suits you best in every particular. tt
will be sent home on small first pay
ment, and your promise to pay a still
smaller amount monthly. There is
positively no reason why your family
should be longer without music, why
there should not be a piano in your
home Immediately. If you will visit
us, we will explain in detail how very
easily this matter can be arranged.

syndieate seeks water FranohIse.

1t is sreported that syndicate which
has made large expenditures in secur-
ing water rights in the Raritan river
in the Somerville section during re-
cent years, has made application to
the Bridgewater Township Committee
for franchise to lay thirty-six inch
water mains along public highways in
that township. The syndicate is rep
sented by Horace J. Subers, OF 25
Broadway, New York, who has refused
to reveal the identity of the men COM
posing the syndicate, or the object in
securing water rights. The syndicate
has already paid s2l7,oOO in cash for
the stock of the Somerville Water
Company, and has expended several
thousand dollars for mills and water
rights along the north branch Of the
Rarltan. Subers or his company is re-
ported as securing property along the
Black river, near Chester and lronia,
presumably to take more Of Morris
county for reservoir purposes.

MRS. NJ. c. MARCH.

/" She comes to bless who comes with love.
Although nought else she brings,
And at the echo of her feet
The sorrowing spirit sings"
That was Mrs. March, our neighbor
and friend, who died on Sunday last at
germantown, Philadelphia. She will
long be remembered by a large circle
in Morristown as one of those rare
souls, whose sympathy and love for her
friends and townspeople prompted her
constantly to deeds Of loving kindness,
that endeared her to all who knew her,
She did her work In this world with a
modesty and sweetness and devotion
that brought its own reward. This
tribute comes from the heart of one
who knew her almost from a child and
valued her friendship as a great priv
ilege. GRINNELL WILLIS.

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause a dIsordered stomach does not per-

its products assimAated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
IN turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood. and we see symptoms Of nerv-
