There are occasions when one is sure
that Morristown is far behind the
times. Hardly ever when the Star
Spangled Banner is played or sung
does the audience rise unless someone
grabs them, as it were, by main
strength and lifts them up. Another
example along the same line was noted
at st. Peters on Sunday evening when,
after the benediction, but before the
'recessional, the organist played "1he
Dead March in Saul y, which all over
the world, when played on such
memorial occasions, the audience al
ways standing during its rendition.
Did they stand Sunday night ? No,
but several were heard during and
after the playing of the selection, to
comment on how the organist was try.
ing to initiate cannons on the organ.

nounces in the June number of The
Craftsman that he has purchased a
tract of land in the New Jersey Hills,
two and half miles from MorriStown,

tunity not only for skilled workers,
but for the Instruction of boys whose
parents desire for them a method of
training that will teach them to think
for themselves.
The quarters for workmen and stu
dents will be on a hill high enough to
furnish the climatic conditions re-
quired for thoroughly desirable sum-
mer resort. The craftsmen, students
and guests will be quartered in small
cottages placed here and there among
the cedars, which covers the summit
of the hill. These cottages are in
tended to surround a central commits
sary department., where meals will be
cooked and served in the large dining
room, or sent to the cottages.
The article in which the announce
ment is made is illustrated by perspec-
tives and ground plans of five types Of
cottages which it is proposed to erect,
the students working with skilled
workers in the erection OF the houses.
An expert gardener has been engaged
to lay out and beautify the tract and
instruction in farming will be given
in talks aud visits to neighboring
farms.
The summer school in connection
with the village will contine for eight
weeks, beginning on July 7.
Mr.. Stickley does not announce the
exact location of the property, but in
quiry shows that he has been negotiat-

all day on Memorial Day. The storm
held up while the parade was in pro-
gress, but soon after set in with vigor

raining in torrents or course such
weather put an end to all kinds of out

for the holiday. In the evening the
rain stopped SO that it was easy to
reach the Lyceum for the exercises
and for few minutes before starting
for the hall Voss' Band played on the

New Post once In Morris county.

New Post ONCE In Morris County.
Greystone Park is the name of the
newest U. S. post Office in Morris
county. 1t is located in the State
Hospital building at Morris Plains
with John Boyd, stenographer at the
institution as postmaster. The post
Office is the result of four or five years
effort to secure better postal facilities
for the hospital, which ever since its
location at the Plains has depended on
the Morris Plains Office for mail. For
the present at least, the new post Of
flee is served through the office at Nor
ris Plains, the nearest railroad STA
tion, the pouches being carried to the
institution in the stages which carry
passengers back and forth. The new
office will mean large reduction in
the receipts of the Morris Plains Of
fee, but Postmaster Merchant says
that he expects to keep man in the
post Office department there exclusive
ly, giving as good service to the pa
irons as has been the case heretofore.
Willisonville residents and others neaI
the State institution may be patrons
Of the new post office and all mai
destined for that institution should
be addressed to Greystone Park.
