NEW SINGERS HEARD
CHANGE IN CAST OF "MAUAM
~BUTTERtLY.v
Nine. strakosch in the Title Role, Miss
Houston as Suzuki, Mr.. st. Willis
as Pinkerton.

A change in the four principal roles
of Puccini's opera, Madam Butterfly. I"
was made at the Newark Theatre last
night, but the performance remained
quite as interesting and moving as
that of the preceding evening. If any
thing in dramatic values was missed
by the newcomers in the cast. it was
sufficiently compensated for by greater
power in the singing.
Nine. Phoebe Strakosch sang the
role of Butterfly, succeeding Miss Rena
Vivienne. Nine. Stralkosch is a mem
Der of the w~elI-known family of
musicians of the same name and a
niece of Adelina Patti. She has been
singing for several years past in the
music eenters of Europe. including
Paris, Berlin and London. She has also
sung with distinguished success in
grand opera at Covent Garden, Stock
holm, Lisbon. Milan, Naples and
Madrid and has a repertoire of two
or three score operas.
Mime. Strakosch's Butterfly, dramat-
ically considered. differed a very little
from hi of Miss Viyienne. 1t was
perhaps not quite so consistent with
the authors conception, but It was a
sympathetic portrayal in spite of that,
enforcing the pitiful aspects of the
Character and situation poignantly.
Vocally her rendition transcribed thar
of her predecessor. Nine. ~Strakoscp
has a glorious, golden soprano, purs,
sweet. rich and accurate. She en-
ployed it magnificently lastenisht.
Miss Ethel Du Ere Houston, a singer
well known locally from her frequent
appearances in light opera with the
Aborn Company at Olympic Park. sang
the coutralto role of Suzuki, Madam
Butterfy's maid. substituting for Miss
Harriet M. Behnee. Miss Honstonss
was the better vocal performances, and
a somewhat less successful acting per-
formanee. William st. Willis was the
Lieutenant Pinkerton, and gave a dra-
matte exhibition that was wooden in
the extreme. His tenor, though not
particularly sweet oil expressive, an
swered the purpose sufficiently well.
Ottley Cranston, as the Consul, de-
served praise both for his singing and
acting.
This afternoon the Misses Vivienne
and Houston will appear as Butterfly
and Suzuki, and Messrs. st. Willis u
Cranston as Pinkerton and Sharpless.
Tonight two more singers will be heard
for the first time in the engagement
The Butterfly will be Miss Elizabeth

in the cast also last year, will be the

ing Of the Council of that borough last
night hat an agreement been
reached between the counsel and Of
fcials of both Union Township and the

been receiving more than its share of
the taxes and Counsel Addison Ely con
for the borough that the town
ship should refund the unjust collec-
tions. At a conference over the matter
IL was agreed from now on that the
axes be equally divided.
The matter of improving the roads

NIGHT SCHOOL SOON
WILL OPEN OCT. 20 IN EAST
NEWARK.
Change in Manner of Children Assem-
bling in Morning and Afternoon
Is Recommended.

Monday. October %, night school will be-
gin in the East Newark Public School, this
being decided on at the meeting of the
Borough Board of Education last night.
Principal Edward F. Malloy WAS instruct
ed to be in his office in the school build
ing on the nights of October q and % 10

chairman of the school government COM
that Principal Ed Edward F. Maiioy would
have a large number of names to register
this session.
SeSveral teachers. some Of whom are at
present teaching day school in the borough,
applied to the board to teach at the night
schools. On motion they were referred to
the special instruction committee.
Principal Molloy reported that every
thing in the school was going along salts
factorlly. In his report from September 8
to September 30 he gave the following en-
rollment: Number of boys enrolled, 204;
number of girls enrolled, 1879; total enroll
ment, 1893; average daily attendance to the
school,, 343.
Principal Molloy suggested the board
that a change be made in the manner Of
he children coming to the school rooms,
morning and afternoon. Instead of having
the teachers go downstairs to receive the
pupils at 9 o'clock and l o'clock, he said,
1t would be better to AVE all the pupils
go to their respective rooms at s:45 o'clock
in the morning and 1850 at noon. In this
way the pupils would have a better OPP
portunity to study their lessons than they

favored an immediate change In this re-
gard. 1t was referred to committee.
Leo Kauder, a graduate of the East New
ark school, in a communication requested
that that body pay his tuition fee while
he is attending the Kearny High School.
This was done. Commissioner McCue said
that there are some graduates of the
school that are attending other high
schools, and their tnition is being paid by
the board, but they failed TO apply to the
board in a formal way. There are about
six names on the borough boards list now
of these that are getting their fees paid.
A motion was carried that in the future
all pupils wanting their tuition paid by
the board must apply in an official manner
to Clerk Carey.
Commissioner McCue, chairman of the
school government committee, reported
that the Borough School had opened Sep
TENDER 8 and that all was satisfactory.
Ac chairman of the supply committee,
sary supplies for the school building had
been secured by him and delivered at the
school except some premier books, which
will be shortly.
District Clerk William A.. Carey in his
monthly statement showed that the bal
ance on hand of the school account was
$3.50. The balance on hand September |
was $3.50 and the disbursements for the
month were $37l.50.
Truant Officer John w. Tierney reported
that cases of thirty-four truants were re-
ferred to him by the teachers. On inves-
tigation he said he found that all had rea-
sonable excuses for being away from
school,.

PASSAIC SEWER.
Ordinance to Pave Davis Avenue with
Telford Again introduced in Har-

AT n meeting of the Harrison Common
Council last night 81, 900 was ordered trans
ferred from the license fund to nav Harri-
sons share toward "A preliminary survey

sion.
Once more the proposed paving of Davis
avenue, Harrison, was the subject for de-
bate, and a new notice Of intention 10
pave the street with telford was intro
duced by Councilman Van Deren and was
carried by a vote of 5 to 4.
Those in the affirmative we're Council
men Sullivan, Witt, Van Deren. Dolphin
and Daily. In opposition were Mayor Rior-
dan and Councilmen O'Connor, Rice and
Henry. At the previous meeting an ordi-
nance to pave with telford was defeated on
third reading. Before that an ordinance
to pave with bitulithic was lost.
An ordinance to construct a sewer in
Hamilton street and Passaie avenue, be-
tween Grant avenue and New street, was
given its first and second reading. This
was accomplished with just enough votes
and was opposed by Councilmen Rice,
Henry, Sullivan and O'Connor, who repre-
sent the lower end of Harrison.
In advocacy OF this Improvement Coun-
cilmen Dolphin and DAILY declared that an
epidemic of typhoid fever is raging in the
section to be drained by the sewer and
claim that 1t is caused by the absence of
the drain.
An ordinance to pave William street
with asphalt was beaten on its third read
ing. and in the case OF Jersey street, where
an ordinance had been passed to pave with
brick and bids received for the work, the
action was reconsidered and that ordi-
nance was also lost.

RIVER; CASE
MYSTERIOUS
Where Is Driver Louis Kane?
Deserted Rig or Thrown
Out?

There is much concern among the
friends of Louis Kane, a coach driver,
who disappeared yesterday morning i'll
a very mysterious II after being
thrown, it is alleged, from his coach
at Freeman street and Passaic avenue
by his horses running away.
No trace of the man has been had
of him since, although a search has
been made at all of the hospitals in
the city, with the belief that he might
have been taken to one of them for
treatment. But no man answering to
his description could be found at any
of the institutions.
Kane worked for William f, Muilin,
and yesterday morning left the livery
stable, in High street, to convey sew
eral people to a funeral at st. Aioysius's
Church, in Bowery street. He got his
party to the church and Their drove
his horses down Freeman street toward
Passaic avenue, to turn them around,
and get back in line with the other
coaches at the funeral.
The man was seen to drive as tar as
Passaic avenue, and whether he got off
his coach is a question, for While some
of the drivers say he did, others say
that he did not. Those in the mega
tive claim to have been watching him,
but for what reason is not given, and
they say that he had just turned his
horses around when the animals bolted,
throwing Kane to the ground.
The horses, unmindful of Kane's pre-
dicament, ran to Bowery street, where
they collided with a trolley car. The
animals escaped injury, but the coach
came out second best with the car, as
1t was found that tHs rear axle on the
coach was badly bent.
Owing to the excitement attending
abe Collision there was no thought of
Kane for a few minutes; then, when a
search was made for him, he was no.
where to be seen, much to the surprise
of the other drivers, especially those
who claim that they saw him thrown
from his coach. At first they claimed
that he had been thrown into the Nor
ris Canal, which runs close by Passaic
avenue, but that was found to be i'm
possible, owing to the distance that the
coach was away from the famous old
waterway, unless he had jumped in
after he had fallen off his coach. No
sign of a coach driver could be seen in
the canal.
Then it was said thai maybe he swan
across the canal and then jumped into
the Passaic River, and a search was
going to be made of the Passaic River
when one of Kane's friends among the
drivers said, What, Loui jump into
that muck. Nav, not on yer life; he
was too clean for dat, and besides 1
always hern him say dat the Passaic
River wuz muck to him."
So the searching of the Passaic River
was given up, and then the drivers
went back to their coaches.
1t is believed. however, that Kane
may have been frightened in the ac-
cident and decamped for fear of a
lacking UP" for not taking better
care of his team and coach.
At Mullins livery stable today 1t
was said that Kane had not put In an
appearance at the stable since he left
there yesterday morning, and that al
though nothing had been left undone to
locate him, all efforts had proved fruit
less, and hat he had always been a
careful driver and a sober man.

HARvARD STUDENTS rEwER.

CAMBRIDGE. Oct. 2-Accordlng to ON
cial figures given out last night, Harvard

this year in all departments than in 1906.
The grand total OF last year was 3,774
While this year 1t is 3,T42. showing a loss OF
80. This decrease Is said to be due prin-
cipally to the fact that many men are now
completing their college course in three
years instead of four. TIE senior claes
