SCHOOL BOARDS AK.
IN PATERSON AND
CAUSES SURPRISE.
Positions of Supervisors and Department
Heads Abolished and SIS, 400 Will Be
Saved Annually.

PATERSON. Aug. 13.-After a lively
discussion in which the commissioners
did not mince any words in expressing
their views, the teachers committee
of the Board of Education decided last
evening to abolish the positions Of SUI
pervisor of music, supervisor of draw
ing, primary supervisor and eleven
heads of departments"
BY their action the commissioners
will cut expenses $1,000 annually and
they had no hesitation in announcing
their belief hat the school system
would not suffer In the slightest degree
in consequence. Their views were Wig
orously combatted by superintendent
John r. Wilson, and the debate was by
far the most heated one that has taken
place in hat ordinarily quiet and re-
served body IN many a day. There was
not n commissioner to defend the in
cumbents of the several Offices at
tackled, n Mr.. Wilson'S tight was in
vain.
Those who are affected by the action
or will be, as soon as the full board
ratiies the action of the committee
are:
Miss Annie Klingensmith, primary
supervisor, annual salary 81, 200.
Mrs. Caroline e. Thomas, supervisor
of drawing. annual salary $1,000.
Douglas Horatlo Snyder, supervisor
of music, annual salary $1,000.
Eleven teachers who receive 500 each
above their salaries, for assisting the
principals as heads of Departmental
The action was a surprise, there hav-
ing been no previous hint as to THE
step to be taken. None will receive the
announcement with greater surprise
than the teachers themselves.
Even members of the committee Were
surprised when the matter was
preached by Commissioner Thomas j,
Reardon, but his colleagues soon fell
in line.
There was all sorts of talk about
'fads and frills' in the school system
and one member went so far as to say
that he would feel that he was violat-
ing his oath of office If he permitted
the present system to exist without
taking action. He considered it a use
less waste of public money to pay
these supervisors and heads of de-
partments.

MARTIN DEAD; HIS LIFE
COST OF HIS COURTESY.
May Be Autopsy on Newarker Fatally
Hurt Through G~allantry and Drop
ping Umbrella.

1t is expected that an autopsk will
be found necessary to ascertain the
exact cause of the death of David ].
Martin, 55 years old, of q Halsey
street, which occurredAin st. Barna-
bass Hospital early this morning. Mr..
Martin fell from a trolley ear at West
Park and Broad streets a week ago,
and was removed to his home in an
unconscious condition. He remained in
a state of semi consciousness until
Friday, when he was removed to the
hospital for the purpose of undergoing
an operation.
When he reached the institution his
condition became such that the physi-
clans gave up the idea of operating
and exerted their efforts. in saving the
mans life, but were unsuccessful. The
only marks on the body was a small
lump on the mans head, and, accord
ing to the belief of the physicians,
his was insufficient to cause death
unless there was a fracture of the
skull. An autopsy may be performed
this Afternoon to determine the actual
cause Of death.
Al the time of the accident Martin
was a passenger on a crowded Mt.
Prospect avenue car. 1t stopped at
West Park street and he stepped down
to the pavement to permit a woman
to enter the car. In doing SO he dropped
an umbrella and stopped down to pick
it up. The car started before he got
aboard, and as he stepped on the run
ming board he slipped and fell. There
were several passengers who saw the
accident.
Mr.. Martin had charge of n of the
departments at Marshall & Balls store.
He was highly esteemed by. his en-
ployers. Arrangements for the funeral
have not been completed.

For the busy business man who has not had time to study
music, or having studied has not had time to devote to piano playing
to keep in practise so that he might execute the sort of music he likes to
hear, the tardman Autotone Piano is a great boon, for it enables
the tired and tagged out office worker to sit down at will and soothe
himself with the music of the masters, being able to execute it perfectly,
by means of this wonderful self-payer.
So with the busy housewife who with the cares of home and of
children, perhaps, finds little time to keep her fingers as nlnbe as they
once were and to keep brushed up on music. To the woman as well as
the man the Hardman Autotone comes as a great relief. Any
moment of the day that a woman may wish for music, she can sit
down without previous preparation and play anything she may wish TO
hear-Sacred music, operate music, classical compositions up to the
most difficult oratorOS.
Children, too, may play the tardman Autotone almost equally
well with grown folks. Even though children have had musical in
suucion they cannot always attain that degree of proficiency in execu-
ton which enables them to play the music of the great composers with
the degree of accuracy necessary to a proper rendition; and when there
are chldrens parties in the house and the little folks would like to
dance, the Autoone will help them to just the sort of music that will
most delight them.
- - -
For the young man at college the Hartman Autotone Is a real
blessing, enabling the boys to have ragime if they wish it or better
music if they are inclined that way-but} all the time some music.
In fact. the Hartman Autotone is a universal instrument which
can be played by any one with splendid effect, and it is something that
should be in every home.
We make it easy for any one to buy an Autotone.
Come in any time and hear it played, and learn prices and terms.
We will be glad to send you our beautiful Piano Book telling
you all about this wonderful instrument and other pianos we sell
It's free for the asking.
