The Klinrer Grand.

The Klinger Grand was crowded

last appearance of the Empire Stock
company. in the city. the play being
Passion Slave" The company has
done some really good and conscien.
tious work, and tn emembers have
made many warm friends who re-
gret their departure, The play is
an old fashioned one with lots OF gun
play; an innocent prisoner, loving
girl, a proud father and innumerable
situations. Mr.. Bingham had the
part of the somewhat lachrymose
victim of circumstances, and an. un-
serupulous villain, and while the role
is one of the most difficult to por-
tray, managed II as well as such
part can well be handled, and that is
saying much. Miss Maxine Miles
played the part OF Mamie Briscoe,
the woman in the case well, as she
has done in all the parts she has
taken. Roberts was good villain
or a bad villain, II that sounds bet
ter, and Emily Halzen made a very
winsome little lady's maid. The play
is not in the class of Capital VS..

nell and Golden remaining for the
week to appear in new specialties.
AS the curtain went down for tho
last time last night, someone who
hau evidently enjoyed the music and
devoted more time to the orchestra
than the stage handed the reporter
the following bit OF sentiment:
When LEILA Plays.
When Leila plays, her fingers drift
AS white and dainty oer the keys
AS cherry blossoms In the Spring,
Sweet playthings of each vagrant
breeze;
And fiutterlng o'er the worries
They make the Soul of Music sing.
And all the sweets of sound upllft.
And spirits of all harmonles.
And dreams of all the melodies
Are creatures of her moods and

Divorce Suit Fails

The suit for divorce brought by
Harry A. Ensign, broker, against
his wife, Ida Elizabeth Ensign, in re-
ply to her suit for a separation, was
called for trial Wednesday before JUS
tice Giegerich and a jury in the
Supreme Court. Ensign failed to ap-
pear, and it was announced on his be-
half that he had left this country for
Europe last week. Counsel for Mrs.
Ensign and for H. A. Pope, London
er, who was named by Ensign as CO.
respondent, asked Justice Giegerich to
permit Mrs. Ensign and Pope to put
in their evidence refuting Ensign's
charges, but Justice Giegerich ruled
that as long as no proof was presented
by Ensign no defense to the charges
Of adultery was necessary or could be
accepted. He instructed the jury to
find that the charges made by Ensign
connecting Mrs. Ensign with Pope
were false and to answer the framed
questions in the negative. Mrs. En-
signs action for separation will
come up separately. The Ensigns at
one time lived in Morristown.

stabbed Sunday night by man at the
Stag Mountain Stone Quarry, fou1
miles north of Boonton, and died a
few minutes after being cut. The

who was about thirty years old,
worked in the mills of the Boonton
Iron and Steel Company. with num-
Der of other men, had spent part of
the day at the quarry, and while there
got into quarrel with several
Italians. One of the foreigners drew
a knife and stabbed Teller in the neck.

but in the excitement the man fled to
the mountains in the dark and got
away. Word was taken to Boonton

I~AUTER
PIANOS
Ideal Musical Instrument

1t pays to do good work. Apart
from the satisfaction that comes to the
worker it brings rewards that are well
worth while. In the making of Lau-
ter Pianos, we have done good 10ork at
all times, we have gone to extremes
in the matter of fine workmanship in
every department. We have made
pianos that are JOY not only to our
selves, but to every pianist, every dealer
and every Individual owner every
one who comes in contact with them.
A good article is ever appreciated
by discriminating buyers. The pro-
fits may not be as great, but they are
certain and permanent. The prestige
that our care in the production of our
pianos has given us is beyond price.
1t has made possible an institution
that is peculiarly satisfactory from
every point of view. We have built
up, as the result of this reputation,
vast retail business that is the wonder
of the whole piano industry; and, Of
late years, a wholesale trade that ex-
tends to every State in the Union, and
