George Gould Talks.


Fresh from 4OOO-mile automobile trip
through Europe Mr.. George Gould gives
out typewritten interview telling the
populace what splendid condition Amer
lea is in. The Hon. jeff Levy always
signalizes his arrival in London by giving
the foreign correspondents of American
newspapers glowing interviews on Can
adian Pacific developments. He also emits
valuable New York news via his Month
cello farm in Virginia. 1t is well to make
note of the habits and peculiarities of
our great men.
Reports that the sugar and tobacco
trusts are putting up money for the Gu
ban insurgents In order to hasten the
day of annexation meet only ridicule in
the financial district. What American
capital in Cuba wants most Is tranquility
and assurance of peace. The last thing
they would encourage Is political agita-
ton. Matters were going along entirely
to the satisfaction of the foreign ele-
ment in Cuba when the outbreak occur
red. Now they are one and all worried
over the possibility of continued disturb

and the United States look forward to
ultimate annexation or at least very init
mate commercial relationship. but only
fools and crazy people want to bring it
about by violence.

base their hopes for lower prices on the
theory that the bumper cotton crop and
consequent probable low quotations for
the staple will discourage planters from
putting in a. full acreage next year and
therefore cut into the sales of fertilizers.
The declaration of a dividend on " c. by

take up the floating debt They recall

Interest In Politics.

Wall street is taking keenest interest in
political developments, centering atten-
ton chiefly on the evolution of the Hearst
movement People of the financial dis
trict would give a good deal to know
whether the Representation is furry or
a ground swell. Upon that vital point
everybody is at sea and persons whose
opinion is worth anything confess them
selves utterly unable to reach an intelli-
gent conclusion in the premises.
Most men of affairs would like to dis

Z BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW. Z

The Difficulties Attending the Man
ufacture Of electricity.
The almost impossible task Of MAX
ing bricks without straw has been par
aIleled by Superintendent a. H. Lynch,
superintendent Of the Electric Com
pdny Of Morristown. He came here
ten or fifteen years ago to take charge
Of crude inefficient plant with lim-
tied patronage. During the interven-
ing years he has worked up the plant
with all the means. available, and at
the same time built up the CONNER
clal end Of the company's business so
that never at the best was the plant
much ahead of the demands upon it,.
When the Public Service Corporation
Incorporated the plant into its system
and largely increased Its capital stock
the natural presumption was that the
plant would be increased accordingly,
but this was not the case, Mr.. Lynch
retained his position as superinten-
dent, but all suggestions and recon-
mendations had to go through the
general Office and were subject to de-
lays. The ineviI able happened; the
increase in the business overworked
the plant and before the contemplated
improvements which the president of
the company says we're decided upon
had been made there was breakdown
and the public suffered great inconven-
.ience, and Mr.. Lynch came in for lot
of unjust criticism. Those familiar
with the facts regard hi Management
Of the affairs of the company as highly
creditable under the circumstances,
and say that much Of the criticism is
the result of jealously on the part OF
envious individuals.
SO far as help at the power house is
concerned the plant is in charge OF
Chief engineer w. j. Sheerin, a man
Of years of experience as engineer on
the D., L. & w. r. b., and knows his
business thoroughly. He is very
careful man and the recent break
down was through no fault on the
part Of any one connected with the
works,

plants they have Inspected that Of

The water that runs from the sewer

This fact proves that disposal beds

New Jersey,s FIseal year nnds.

New Jerseys fiscal year ended with
the close of business Wednesday. the
State having a cash balance of little
more than 81, ,000 0O0. Controller Nor
gan sent to Governor Stokes, who was
making a speech in Mount Holly, the
following telegram & The close Of the
States fiscal year shows cash bal
ance in the treasury of $2,084, 891. 80.
This balance is less than that Of last
year, but this fact is accounted for by
reason of a receipt OF more than S220, y
900 last year from the United States
for interest on Civil War bonds, and
the further expenditure this year OF
more than 100000 In improvements
and additions TO the various State in
stitutions. There was also an increase
OF nearly 800, 900 IN the amount paid
to the various school districts in the
State for the purpose Of reducing tax

The Lauter Piano

Al piano is one of the few things
that, If bought right, will be bought
but once in a lifetime; and the right
purchase will be productive of an un-,
limited amount Of satisfaction and
pleasure. On the other hand, an un-
satisfactory piano can cause a vast
amount Of irritation and annoyance.
The purchaser Of a Lauter Piano is in
sured against dissatisfaction; he buys
under conditions that secure him
from risk or doubt.
The first place Lauter Pianos are
manufactured along lines that prac-
tically preclude the possibility Of the
instruments not proving up to the ex-
tremely high standard we have set for
them. Our factory methods are such
that every possible detail is worked
out in a way to secure certain dura-
bility. We 60 to extremes in this
matter and spend more time and take
greater pains than does, to the best of
our belief, any other manufacturer.
Every process is done slowly and ac-
curately. For example, we season
our sounding-boards for two years;
again, we allow each coat of varnish
a much longer time than usual to be-
