THE NEW ELECTRIC PLANT.
One of the Largest and Best Equipped
in the state Contemplated.

One of the Largest and Best Equipped
in the State Contemplated.
The Morris & Somerset Electric Co.
is pushing the matter of getting the
new plant in operation. The COM
pany owns six lot on Whippany street
and Erie street running TO the Whip
pany river and on it will erect a power
house Of steel skelton frame and con-
crete. The pump room will be at a
low level and basement will be con-
structed under the engine room to
provide good ventilation for the plant.
A coal trestle will be built with track
from the Erie r. r., the treStle being
elevated sufficiently t0permit the coal
to be dumped into pockets which will
dump the coal in front Of the boilers.
For the start provision will be made
for supplying about thousand kilo
watts of current. just what machines
will be installed is little in doubt as
yet, negotiations being under way as
to the time required for delivery, etc.,
of several satisfactory machines. Any
way the plan is to make the new pow
er house thoroughly up-to-date, econ
omizing labor wherever possible. Work
on the conduits and pole lines will be
started soon. The company will prob
ably put on 40 C. p. incandescent lamps
instead Of the 25s required, if the
present experiments with them proves
as satisfactory as seems possible.
A meeting of The stockholders will
be held on July first, when the per-
manent organization will be effected.

OBITUARY.
TIE REV. DIR. NoRMAN FOX.

The Rev. Norman Fox, d. D., who
had been seriously i'll for a short time
in Roosevelt Hospital, New York,
died on Sunday. The announcement
was made in the Calvary Baptist
Church, New York, by Rev. DR.. Mac
Arthur, who married DR.. Fox's sister.
The Rev. DR.. Norman Fox was born
in Glen Falls, N. Y, on February 13,
1886, and was graduated from the
University of Rochester in 1855, and
from the Rochester Theological Sem
mary two years later. Both his grand
father and father had been Baptist
preachers before him. His first charge
was at Whitehall, N. Y, from 1859 to
1862, when he went to the war as
chaplain of the 7th Regiment, New
York Volunteers, taking part in all
the battles of the Army of the Potomac
from the second engagement at Fred
ericksburg to Appomattox.
On being mustered out, Captain Fox
spent several years in study and travel
and as editor of 1.-THE Central Bap-
tist," and then filled the chair of re-
ligious history in the William Jewell
College of Theology in Missouri, from
1870 to 1873. From that time he de-
voted himself to sociological, literary,
temperance and general religious work.
DIR. Fox settled in Morristown in
the late SOS, and soon began to take
an active interest in its welfare. In
1898 he was appointed one of the three
local excise commissioners, and made
such reputation for fearlessness and
fairness in the treatment of the liquor
license question that he was nomi-
mated for Mayor in 1900 by the Repub-
licans, and elected by a majority of
222. His administration was without
sensation, but he abundantly justified
the wisdom of those who had selected
him for the office.
He was thrice married, first in 1868
to Miss Julia f. Mcknight, of Wash
ington, who died the following year,
and second, in 1874, to Miss Jane B.
Bleecker, of New York, who died in
1880. On October 3rd, 1906, he married
Miss Martha Dimmick, of Honesdale,
Pa, who survives him. He leaves
two children by his second wife, Noel
B. and Miss Alice Fox. He was the
author of several religious books and
of a Life of Thomas Rambaut, LII.
d." He was appointed, in 1901, a
member of the board of managers of
the New Jersey State Villege for Epi-
leptics.
DR.. Fox was public spirited man
and ready always to advance the inter-
ests of the community In which he
lived. He was the organizer of the
Friday Evening Club and its success
was largely due to his efforts, and as an
Excise Commissioner did more TO i'm
prove the excise condit.o IS in Norris
town than any other citizen. He also
was deeply interested in park schemes
and first suggested the chain of parks
along the Whippany river.

Tone is the sine qua non Of

Musical Courier.

The term musical is miSnomer
in connection with very many pianos,
for it is too true that pianos, so-called,
are unworthy the appellation. Only
an instrument that is constructed with
view to giving artistic musical service
deserves to be classed as musical" "
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
large majority of pianos are not so
constructed.
In producing Lauter Pianos we
have constantly had in mind the artis-
tic requirements of people of musical
discrimination. We have made instru-
ments that have called forth the en-
thusiastic praise of men who have been
accustomed to, and have appreciated,
highest grade pianos throughout
lifetime, men whose Judgment the
whole piano industry accept as expert.
Our GRANDS, SMALL GRANDS
PLAYERPIANOS and UPRIGHTS
are ,superbly beautiful in every detail
of tone, construction and finish.

In love, " asa lady pianist said tous quite
lately. They respond to every artistic
demand of the artist, they satisfy those
who can be satisfied only with the
best obtainable.
To understand for yourself the
unusual excellence of Lauter Pianos,
you have but to examine these instru-
ments here, and compare them with
those of any other makes of which
you may know. We invite you to
come to our WareroomS and see our
magnificent stock; we ask you to
enter our factory and observe the
scrupulous care with which every de-
tail of construction is carried out.
