A ROSEATE VIEW OF THINGS,
Should Come to Morristown and Take
Look Around.

Should Come to Morristown and Take
Look Around.
The man who wrote the following
article which appears in the last issue
of the Railroad Employee" eyident-
ly was not acquainted with conditions
around the Morristown station, or
else he would probably have qualified
his praise. And he especially marked
this article:
THAT clean and tidy stations add
not only to the attracbiveness, but to
the revenue of a railroad, is illustrated
in the admirable manner in which
Lackawanna stations are kept up all
along the line, and on the Morris and
Essex Division in particular, where a
rigid and thorough system OF station
inspection has been established ana
which is just as rigidly and systemat-
ically carried out. At every station,
no matter who small or unimportant,
everything is in perfect order, the
windows are clean and the floors are
scrubbed. Even the freight houses
are models of neatness and systematic
order, and there is a positive absence
of conditions which too generally ex-
ist around buildings of a semi-public
nature, in which class railroads sta
tions must beincluded. I"
1t seems a wonder that at a station
of the Importance as the one here,
conditions continue as they are. The
passenger station has of course been
painted inside recently after many
years Of CRIME, but outside, the car
riage yard is dirty and some old stumps
decorate the lot adjoining. A few
wheelbarrows of earth recently spread
filled up few or the depressions in
the sand near the freight house, but
there are many holes yet and uncov-
cred sand to annoy all passing. Clear
to the hospital property stand row
of stumps of trees cut down, while the
weeds grow rank.
| Along Ine track aD0Ve Ule SUduloIi
where passengers sometimes alight,
the dirt which went over the wall
when the steam-shoyel was there sew
eral years ago is still where it fell,
choking up the cutters and looking
generally untidy. The fence along
Morris street below the station is
broken down and an eye sore. On the
whole we cannot agree with the arti-
Gle, but wish that the company would
spend little money here to fix things
| up half way at least.

FEWER CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

The Beneficial Results of the Mem
oriaI Hospital Annex.
Like every other town Morristown
is not exempt from contagious and
epidemic diseases. Scarlet fever,
diphtheria, measels, chicken pox, ETC.,
appear occasionally and with prompt
action on the part of the health auth
critics are almost always confined to
the case where they develop, or to the
family, because in many cases the i'll
ness of children is not taken seriously
by the parents and several are infected
befSre the physician is called. 1t has
been found by the statistics that
since the establishment of the conta-
pious annex to the Memorial Hospital
there has beer marked diminution
in the cases of contagious diseases,
Where there are no facilities for sepa-
rating patients they are taken to the
Annex, where with skillful treatment
and careful nursing the death rate
has been greately decreased and the
number of cases reduced more than
sixty per cent. Health Inspector Van
Dyke says that were it not for the
Annex it would be impossible to con-
troll contagious diseases in the tene-
.ment house districts where the popu-
lation is greatly congested. All this
benefit has come to MorristoWr
without cost to the town authorities,
the Annex heretofore being supported
by voluntary contributions to the
Memorial Hospital work. On refiec-
tion any person can see that it is the
duty of every one to help in this good
work and the opportunity will be af-
forded on the occasion of the annual
fair May 8th, when everybody will be
cordially welcomed whether they have
much or little to spend. The mana
gers would be greatly encouraged II
th6re was large attendance of people
who have not heretofore attended,
and if only small amount is spent
the expression of appreciation Of the
work would be gratifying.

The Lauter Piano

If you will but consider for a mo-
ment what constitutes quality, what
makes one article more valuable than
another of the same kind, you will be-
gin to realize for yourself the reason Of
the splendid place the Lauter has at
tained for itself in the highest musical
circles. There are lots Of pianos that
are good; there few pianos that are
really fue The interest for you in the
Lauter is that it is in the latter class, it
is piano of Superbly beautiful quality.
We do not make pianos that are
merely good or very good. We make
instruments to meet the requirements
of the artist, to satisfy the highest artis-
tic standards. We manufacture pianos
having a scale of remarkable balance,
a scale that betrays no "break' in the
keyboard, that allows of delightful
modulation. The tone of our instru-
ments is delightfully."- clear and singing
in the treble and remarkably rich and
sonorous in the bass. The touch, SO
important feature in artistic playing,

nnn,t Like the Mixture.

Inspector Gibson, of the East Jersey
Water Company, was in town on We'd
nesday ,and contrary to hisusualcustom
of roaring us like sucking dove in
regard to the pollution Of the streams,
saws he is right down to hard business.
In recent suit against the company
he represents the point was made that
they connived at the pollution OF
streams. The result was that Mr..
Gibson was directed to take stringent
action against all offenders, and he
says. that that will be the rule in the
future. He attended the sewer meet
ing and loaded himself up with infor-
nation and if the town does not dc
something in the immediate future in
this regard a lot Of people will be pros
ecuted.

Normandle Heights improvement.

Work on the improvement os the
tract recently purchased by Alexander
G. Humphreys at Normandie Heights
has been started. A force of laborers
is at work digging long ditch, which
in some places is eighteen feet deep,
to drain the property which although
high had a number of depressions
without any outlet. This new ditch
takes the water from these holes by
lateral pipes and carries it to the lower
part Of the place. The house has
been staked out and the work of ex-
cavation started. 1t is located on the
brow of the bluff, almost in the line
of the Dickson and Eddy houses.
Work on the excavation for a large
stable has also been started near the
Dickson stable.
