WASHINGTON
IN NEW JERSEY
Or. Austin Scott, Formerly Pres
ident Of Rutgers College Gave
Address in High School.

DR.. Austin Scott, until recently
president of Rutgers college, and now
occupying history professorship in
that college, addressed the students
of the high school and a number of
guests Wednesday afternoon in the
auditorium of the high school build
ing
DR.. Scott spoke on George Wash
ington's experience in New Jersey and
he called his subject, Washington at
School in New Jersey" Though he
spoke but three-quarters of an hour,
DR.. Scott gave an interesting recital
of few of the nine times when
Washington established his headquar-
ters in this state during the War of
the Revolution, on some occasions
coming very close to this city, The
turning-point of the war was the sur
prise at Trenton, DR.. Scott said.
Washington spent more than one
fourth of his time during the Revo-
luton, over two years in all, within
New Jerseys borders.
One fact which Dr. Scott declared
should make every Jerseyman proud
is that when the first monument to
Washington, which one was never
built, was being planned, it was de-
cided to place thereon mention of
the five chief events of the war in
which Washington had figured, and
three of the five events chosen had
taken place in New Jersey. Dr. Scott
caused a laugh when, in telling of the
crossing of a river by Towboat, he
said that they did not have as many
bridges in those days as we have now
over the Raritan.
DR.. Scott gave some good advice
and said that it is the final victory
that counts and not the many failures
which come before the final triumph.
In support of this, DR.. Scott said that
Washington did not win single real
battle during the Revolution, but he
finally brought the cause for which
he had fought TO a triumphant con-
clusion. He said that Washington
was "at school, throughout the
struggle.
The glee club of the high school
sang two patriotic selections and, af-
ter the address the entire audience
sang America" The auditorium was
decorated with flags, The eighth
grade class from school No. was
present, as were also the higher
grammar classes in the high school
buildings.
DR.. Snodgrass at No. /.
Rev. DR.. w. C. Snodgrass, pastor OF
/ Simpson NJ. E. church, addressed the
pupils of the four upper rooms in
school No /, Wednesday afternoon.
He told of Washington from the time
of his birth to his death. He declar-
/ ed that his life lowered above every
one else of his time as the dome OF
st. Peters towers above the hills OF
Rome.
Before DR.. Snodgrass spoke there
was a short program. The school
sang Potomac Bells" and Dora and
Lille Singer played a piano duet AT
the close the school sang The First
Flag"

MADISON AVE. PAVING
WILL Be DISCUSSED.
Public Hearing on the Question to
be Held in the City Hall
Tonight.

A public hearing will be given by
the Board of Aldermen tonight at
city hall to all who wish to speak
about the Madison avenue paving
matter. There is some opposition to
brick, for which more bids were re-
ceived by far than either of the two
other materials advertised for. The
letter received by the aldermen Mon
day night asking them to delay the
awarding of the contract until after
the hearing, declared that brick and
wood block were inserted in the petit
ton, after many had signed it; and
that it was reported that some of the
samples submitted by bidders are not
proper grade All will be allowed TO
air their views tonight.
A large delegation of the residents
of Madison avenue will be present
with a petition asking that the new
street pavement be of brick and not
OF bitulithic as a second petition to
/ the council requested. The petition
/ for brick has the names of nearly ev-
cry resident on it. while the other PEE
tition, so it is said, has only few.

CONCERT WAS
GREAT TREAT.
Lyric Mandolin Club Scores An
other Success in Simpson M.
{. Church.

AS delightful musical entertain
ment as was ever given in this city
was that of the Lyric Mandolin club
in Simpson NJ Z. church last night,
under the auspices of the Epworth
League. TIE large audience eSpi ess-
ed its appreciation by hearty applause
and several encores were given.
The mandolin club is a decidedly
popular organization in this ciDy
Since its first public appearance it
has won a place in the hearts OF the
music lovers and the performance
last night only added TO the Iairels
already won
That the members of the club are
masters of the instrument from
which the organization takes its
name is certain and the perfect har-
mony and unison spoke of much prac-
/ tice and devotion to the task.
Two features besides the excellent
playing of the club, stand out prom
inently. One WAS the Chautauqua
salute given David Noe during the in
termission, and the other was the
while the Star Spangled Banner was
being played.
Yesterday was Mr.. Noes birthday,
as well as George Washington's He
was eighty-two years old, and when
/ he arose to address the audience he
appeared as healthy and as strong as
the youngest present. Rev Dr. w.
B
led by the pastor, the church was Il
sea Of waving handkerchiefs as the
old-young gentleman faced the peo-
pie.
When the mandolin club began
playing the Star Spangled Banner in
the patriotic medley, the last selec-
tion on the program, large flag.
which had been concealed at the tor
of the organ was released by an un-
seen string and Old Glory unfurled
before the audience. 1t was greeted
with hearty applause.
The club was led by Miss Lillian
Graham and was assisted during the
evening by Miss Rae Moore, soloist;
S. F. Somogyi, 'cellist; Miss Esther

The G. n. Time Card.

Fargo Forum: In Great Northern
circles there seems to be assurances
that the contemplated, change in pas
senger time schedule will go into eff
feet next Sunday. From headquarters
at st. Paul. it is unofficially learned
that the st. Paul-Fargo local trains,
Nos. II and IL, will be extended to
Grand Forks. No. II, the evening train
arriving in Fargo little earlier than
at present and will probably run ahead
of the west bound Oriental limited.
No. II will leave Grand Forks in time
to reach Fargo and make close con-
nections with the Aneta-Fargo train
about 10 a. NJ. which will be decided
advantage to local traffic between here
and Grand Forks as it will be on time
as a rule, and SO not be subjected to
the frequently late east bound coast
train, Another important change men
toned is that the east bound Oriental
limited. arriving now at 6:55 a. M,
will be made later and probably ar
rive in Fargo early in the afternoon.

Now Believed Tint Man Arrested at

leased is. After All, Party Wanted.
1t is now believed that William
Mills, the bland young man with the
talkative tongue and the grips full of
thirst quencher, arrested at Larimore
last Saturday evening on evidence
tending to show that he played a
prominent part in the looting of the
U. S. postofffce at Cavalier, but after
wards released because of lack of
evidence, is after all the guilty party
the one whom the federal officials
would very much like to have.
The state officials, after Mills dis
missal, dropped all interest in the case
but the federal officials have taken
up the matter anew. and have notified
the different sheriffs of the state to
arrest Mills on sight. Inspector Frye,
of the postal department, came up
from st. Paul the fore part of the
week and is now at work on the case
During his Incarceration in the city
lock up at Larimore Mills is said to
have repeated the assertion that he
took part in the robbery at Cavalier
1t is understood that there is, how
ever. evidence more reliable than that
against the man.
Upon his release at Larimore Mills
is thought to have come to Grand
Forks and Sheriff Turner has. been
asked to be on the lookout for him.
