PIANIST PRESENTED
IN SOUTH ORANGE.
Miss Meta Knox Hannay, of This City,
Gives Recital at Home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Mcclure Perry.

Miss Meta Knox Hannay, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs, George b. f.. Hannay, of %
Washington avenue, this city, gave a piano
recital under the patronage of Mrs. John
Maclure Perry, of 410 Summit avenue,
South Orange, at the latter's home last
night. Miss Hannay is one Of the rising
young pianists OF this city. being an adj
vanced pupil of Mrs. Kathryn Glinnon
Gunther. and is herself a teacher. The
affair was for the purpose of presenting
Miss Hannay in South Orange. where she
expects TO start q class. There were about
sixty guests, and the young payer was
received with much favor. Most Of those
present were South Orange friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Perry, although there were some
from this city, mostly from the Forest
Hill section.
Miss Hannay disclosed her talents in n
discreet program of classical recital pieces.
There was a simplicity and sincerity about
IL which was particularly suitable to a
home musical. Her playing merited the
friends that she made. She gave first
Schumann's familiar "Fashingsehwank
aus Wlen,' op. 26 ("Carnival of Vienna'),
which, though not nearly so difficult as his
carnival, op. 9. is nevertheless a hard
enough task for any youthful performer.
All the five movements were creditably
done, Miss Hannay showing herself tech
nlcally proficient and treating the content
OF each section with temperamental
facility.
A Chopin group came next, consisting of
n noeturne, in + sharp major, op. 10, No.
2; a mazurka. IN b minor. op. 80, No. q,
and a valse. op. 10, No. !. The latter, with
its delightful melody, seemed TO please the
most. Beethoven was represented by his
sonata, OPP. 10, which though an early
composition and less popular than the
Moonlight Is nevertheless a beautiful
work. List found Il place through his
"Waldesrauschen'' and his arrangement of
the melodious Spinning Song" from
Wagner's opera. THE Flying Dutchman.'
Miss Hannay added Schubert's I'm
promptu,' always a pleasing number
The house was p%rettlly decorated and
light refreshments were served.

KICKS UP A FUSS
SOUTH ORANGE TRUSTEE
QUITS COMMITTEE.
Rowland D.. Perrine Objected to Chair
man Wallace's Methods in Re-
gard to Street Matters.

Because he declares no power was given
hin to act in village matters Village
Trustee Rowland D. Perrlne, of South Or
ange, has resigned as n member of the
street committee of the board of trustees.
He has rendered his resignation after try
ing for several months to find out just
what the street committee was doing
without success and also falling to in
duce the chairman of that committee,
Walter T. Wallace, to think his Perrine's)
way in making Improvements. The resig-
nation will be acted upon at a special meet
ing Of the board of trustees next Monday
night.
The street committee now consists Of
Mr. Wallace alone. The third member of
the committee, who was Joseph P. Arnold,
resigned from the board Of trustees when
he was appointed tax collector.
Mr.. Perrine in explaining his reasons for
resigning said that 1t was useless for him
10 serve on the committee when he hal
no say, and there was friction between
himself and MIR. Wallace.
He Is now the whole Shooting match
and can act as he likes" aaid Perrine. Il
have no further say, nor has anyone else.
He is the big boss.
Mr.. Wallace and Mr. Perrine have had
many disputes owe street matters in the
past and have been unable to agree on my
thing.
Mr.. Perrine often attempted to give
orders to John o'Connor, overseer Of the
village streets, but the overseer always
replied that he could not carry them out,
because Mr.. Wallace would not allow him
to. OiConnor said the orders were that
he was TO obey orders from the chairman
only. This was the cause of a row be-
tween the two committeeman after the
last meeting of the Village Board OF
Trustees. The other members of the board
drew around and listened. but did not In
teffere. Whether or not thy will take
sides Monday night Is not known.
Mr.. Perrine Is the chairman of the police
committee, and says he will devote his
time hereafter to taking care of the police
department M let somebody else get
mixed M in the street business.
Mr.. Wallace sees nothing wrong in his
attitude and because he Is chairman of
the street committee and. by reason of
that fact. believes that his power should
be final in all questions.
1t was said when Thomas G.. Conway re-
signed as village treasurer that Mr.. wal
lace, because of his attitude toward him,
was the cause Of the action.

A pretty love romance that had its in
ception, growth and development on the
stage of Columbus Hall, Orange, had a
happy sequel yesterday afternoon, when
Miss Edith Hoffman. q prominent amateur
actress In Orange. and who Is known TO.
hundreds of residents of that city for her
clever work as a thespian, was united in
marriage to Michael j. Mulvihin in st.
Johns r. c. Church, Orange, by the Rev.
Nickolis MarnelI. The young people are
popular in Catholic circles in that city, and
the contamination of their romance was an
agreeable surprise TO their many friends in
the community.
Both young people We're active partici-
pants in the comedies and tragedies that
were acted under the auspices of the vari-
Gus societies connected with the parish of
ST. Johns. The programs of theatricnis for
many years have included Mr.. Mulvihill,
who was at his oest while portraying the
character of the villain In the desperate
plots. Miss Hoffman always enacted more
attractive roles. and very often in her
parts had to spurn the apparently distaste-
full attentions forced upon her by the
scowling bad man" of the play, but both
young people, If none others, knew the ex-
preston of feeling was merely In the en-
