Route to Seoul to Enforce Demands.

where one hundred soldiers were yester-
day detailed to dispense them.
On account of the prevailing heat,
draught and disquiet the financial arch
respondence of the various government
departments have been removed to the
japanese city to insure their safety from
destruction by fire.
Seoul, July 24-It is understood that
the proposals of Japan with which Wis
count Hayashi was charged were pre-
scented by Marquis Ito to the Korean cab
met, which met at 10 O'Clock this morn
ing under a japanese guard. The meet
ing was held in the temporary quarters
of the minister of agriculture in the Jap
anese section of the city. The ministers
deliberated until 4 o'clock in the after
noon, when Premier Iwan-Yung together
with the minister of war presented the
new plan of governing the state to the
emperor in the palace, returning to the
cabinet meeting within two hours.
1t is understood that the Japanese pro-
poSdls, though they do not modest the
security of the throne, are revolutionary
and the fact that the audience of the cab
met members with the emperor was brief
is believed to be evidence of the con-
sternation Of the court.

sion of further disturbances has not sub

The Boonton Bulletin says:
"The Parsippany Choral Glass gave
its second concert in the Presbyterian

large and very appreciative audience.
This worty organization is being con-
Quoted on rather unique lines the

object proficiency in sight singing, an
accomplishment far too seldom found
among singers of the present day. For
this purpose one-half the entire num-
Der of relearsals were devoted entirely
TO the work of sight-reading and ear
training. Mr.. Young, an enthusiastic
teacher, was enthusiastically followed
in his treatment of this subject. At
the concert the singers were ably as

Isabel Drake, soprano SoloistS, and

greatly enjoyed. William Cooper also
rendered valuable assistance at the
organ, an instrument, by the way, rich
in quality and appearance, and of
which Parsippany people are deserved
ly proud. The chorus numbers about
fifty-of various sizes, ages and ability,
but whatever shortcomings may
have been manifest at their first con-
cert, no discordant or awkward effects
were discernable on this occasion.
That the work has been progressive
was the general comment, and very
general desire is manifest to make the
organization permanent one.

If you will bot ex-
anime the Lauter Play
erpiano, you will surely
wish to purchase one.

The way in which the Lauter
Playerplano is making converts among
conservative musical people astonisheS
even us. When this remarkable in
strument was first placed upon the
market, people who could play we'll
for themselves told us that they did
not think they would ever wish to own
one. Now it is true that these same
people are exchanging practically new
grand and upright pianos for Lauter
Playerpianos, and are expressing them
selves as delighted with the immensely
widened musical possibilities that are
thus opened to them.
With the Lauter Playerpiano not
only can a person without musical
knowledge play with expression and
feeling, but the finished pianist can
increase his or her repertoire a thous-
andfold, can play all classes of COM
position a0eA and without the, labor
and drudgery of practice. Besides
this, it must be remembered that with
the Lauter Playerpiano you can play
eractLy as 10u a0zsA, you can control tenn
pO, exbresszou and accent in way that
makes the rendition entirely indi--
vidual, that produces music of the soul
Please remember, too, that the
Lauter Playerpiano can also be played
by hand in the usual way. When the
treadles have been swung into the
case, and the spool box panel of the
music desk has been closed, the in
strument is in appearance and in fact
regular piano for playing like an or
dinary instrument. 1t is TWO PI-
AMOS IN ONE.

New Public school Building.

The board of education has decided
to build a new four room school house
on the lot corner of Mills and Hazlett
streets which was purchased several
years ago before the township schools
were erected. Since then there has
been no increase in Accommodations in
Morristown but the time has come
when in the Judgment of the board
additional room is needed and in ad-
dition the small pupils of that district
have to walk long distances to school.
The plans have been drawn by r. G.
Walsh and call for a two story brick
building on the same lines as the
Liberty street building but more Or
nate. The brick will be laid in red
mortar and the building trimmed with
Indiana limestone sills, lintels and
belt courses. An amended plan is now
before the state superintendent for
his approval and it is expected that
work can be started very soon so that
the new structure can be occupied at
the beginning of the autumn term.
Probably two rooms for primary child
rem will be opened in the fall The
limits have not as yet been fixed

forced upon him by reason of his ap-
plication for second citizenship papers
afther a residence here Of forty-five
years. He came to his country when
nineteen years old and was told by
friends that he became a citizen by
reason of his arrival here before his
twenty-hrst birthday. When he came
to town he learned his mistake and
applied to the j. III. Scarborough for
the necessary papers. The latter Sc
cured first papers for Mr.. York in 1872

continued to vote and exercise the
rights of a citizen until asked for his
papers on his return from England

told that he should carry them on his
trips looked into the matter again
