Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The Phays made good their pre-
 dictions about showing sensational
 and marvellous features of the spirit
 ualistic powers of Anna Eva Fay.
 The big audiences at the Jacques this
 week have been treated to a great surprise in the revelations of the
 Phays and the many people who real
 ly believed that there was hidden power in the work of the Fays have had their eyes opened. The Phays answered all kinds of difficult ques- tiOns such as persons age, the num- Der of watch and questions of a most personal and confidential kind. The great surprise was when they showed how it was done. All the little tricks. signs. messages and ev- erything used to conceal this great fake were shown to the audience and sighs of surprise went up all over the house. The rest of the bill is good and one of the most entering shows of the year. The Willis family is by far the most skillful troupe of musi- clans seen here their season. Their selections are the best and they are rendered with excellent appreciation for musical taste. Max Wits Sing ing Colleens. who sing all the old Irish airs, are quartet of excellent vocalists and please at every perfor- nance. Clayton Kennedy and Hattie Rooney in The Happy Medium" has made big hit. Miss Kennedy's ec- centric comedy is funnier than ever and Miss Rooney shows that she has the dancing ability of the Rooney family. Raymond and Caverly. the Dutch comedians, are entertaining, and Les Pundts, the acrobatic team, the bill. Popular prices. Telephone 1090.

BLIND MANS IDEA OF COLOR. More Like Different Sounds, With
 Black the Only One Real to Him.

Have you any conception of colors" friend asked blind man. What idea have you when you hear colors mentioned?"
 "A person blind from birth. as I have been. can have no possible proper conception of color" vas the reply. TO me color is sound. or rather. music. When hear the word red, for example. I instantly think of a high. piercing note of music; blue is to me delicately sounded note, fairly high and pleasing in tone; green Is a soft tone and rather low, quiet and restful. while yellow IS lively. quick little notes. rapidly sounding and causing pleasure. all most to laughter. Black. alas. Is the only color ve can realize. for We are told that that is the absence of all light. and we know only too veil what that means."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

TO BOND VERONA
FOR $4,000 TO INSTALL
WATER PIPES.
Borough Council Introduces Ordinance
for the System and Decides on
Amount of Bonds.

The water question was the absorbing
topic for discussion at the Verona Borough
meeting last night. Chairman
Of the water committee. Introduced
ordinance for the laying of mains and
setting of hydrants and for the establish
ing of a water system in that borough,
which was passed to its first reading. This
was followed by a resolution recommend
ing the bonding of the borough for he
sum of $4,000.
A spirited discussion took place by all
the members and some difference of opin-
ion as to the amount of the bonds was
expressed. Mr.. Condit stated that under
the present financial conditions it would
be hard to float the bonds. and that labor
and materials were much lower than they
were when the estimate on the work was
made. lie further stated that the voters
would be against so large IN amount, and
with these conditions he thought $4,000
would be enough.
Councilmen Mau and Slayback were both
of the opinicil that 10000 was too high,
large rock area would have to be excavat-
ed, which would add to the cost of lay
ing. Councilman Slayback said that the
bonds should not sell for more than ~ per
cent. and when a public meeting was called
the committee should nave the exact cost
of the plant figured out, to place 1t before
the citizens.
After all the points had been gone over
a unanimous stand was reached, by adopt
ing Mr.. Mau's resolution making tho
amount $4,000, Mr.. Smith withdrawing his
resolution
1t was also agreed to hold a public meet
ing in the skating pavilion In Verona Lake
Park next Tuesday to discuss the bond
issue.

burn avenue. and formerly 10 as
Mountain avenue, were received, and the
roads were accepted by the committee.
The name of the first road was given in
the dedication as Glen avenue. and of the
latter as Lackawanna place. A COM
munication from the Millburn Township
Improvement Association was received,
suggesting that the name of the first road
should be South Mountain avenue, and
that of Lackawauna place should be
changed to Park road. but George w.
Campbell, who was one of the dedicators
of the road, protested against the chang
ing of the names, claiming that the peo-
pie who were giving the land for the road
should be The ones to give the name, and
the improvers' communication was simply
filed.
Charles w. l.. Poche asked that some
action be taken on the matter of cross
walks in Hobart avenue, where the new

COST POLICEMAN $24 FOR
BEING 10 MINUTES LATE.
Patrick Reynolds, of South Orange
Force, Fined Ten Days Pay-Tracey
and Manion Fined Days Salary.


Although members of the South Orange
police committee refused to give out in
formation regarding the action taken by
them in the cases of three policemen. Ed
ward Tracey, Patrick Reynolds and Jonn
Manion, who were brought before them
on charges preferred by Marshal Thomas
+. Mcguire, two weeks ago, the result is
now practically certain that Reynolds was
fined ten days pay, while Tracey and
Manion We're each fined one days pay.
Reynolds received but SAG for his months
wages at a meeting of the Village Board
of Trustees last night, whereas his regu-
lar salary is $40. The reduction of $24 is
equal to ten days pay.
Reynolds was charged with being nine
teen minutes late in reporting for duty,
while Tracey was an hour and two min
utes late. Manion was brought up by
Roundsman Theodore Steve for entering
the flag shanty at the South Orange cross
Ing of the Laekawanna Railroad on a cold
night and remaining but a few minutes.
1t is said that Patrolman Manion told
Marshal Mcguire that Steve said he would
allow him to go into another specified
place and get warm one cold night, but
when he went into the playhouse the
roundsman reported him.
On the night that Reynolds was tardy
he was alone In his Strathern avenue home
and OVERSIGHT. Tracey said that he had
also oversight.
The reason for Reynolds being fined ten
days salary for being nineteen minutes
late. while Tracey, who was more than an
hour tardy, was fined but one days pay,
ann be accounted for. Mr.. Perrine,
chairman OF the police committee, would
not talk on the matter. 1t is, said, how
mite on previous charges, while it was
the first offense for Tracey and Manion.
