was under wing where it apparently

Complaint over the insurance raises
in MorriStown breaks out with renewed
force about every time that policy
expires and the holder finds that the

explanation that the rate was too low
before does not satisfy the ordinary
individual, neither can he see why in
a good building and with better fire
protection than was the case, he should
be compelled to pay so much more for
the same protection.

Letter to c. A. Reed
Morristown

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons.
There are useful and useless gallons.
Useful paint is lead-z;nc-and-oil with
dryer and color useless paint is whit
ing, china-clay, ground stone, barytes,
benzine, or water.
This stuff is putin, because it is
cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make
more gallons to sell of course, the
buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't
buy it.
1t costs as much to bruSh-on this
useless stuff as ead-zinc-and-oil but
it looks like that and feels like that in
the brush; the painter doesn't suS-
pect it. Besides, if the owner is will
ing, why should the painter object to
painting two gallons for one? He is
paid by the day; more gallons, more
days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about
one-third this useless stuff ; and aver
age paint at 81 % or S1.50 or 81. 10 a
gallon is two-thirdS trash. Fool paint
is the proper name for all but pure
paint it is made to fool people with.
Knave paint is another good name it
is made, of course, by knayes. Sick
paint is a name for an honest weak
paint. They are all weak and al eX-
travagant too many gallons to buy and
too many gallons to brush-on. Dovoe
& Reynolds is the standard.
Yours truly,
Il. W. DEVOE 81 9. T.

Morristown Glee Club.

The winter concert of the Norris
town Glee Club which will be given in

interest and value as the club has pre-
pared an instructive as well as a pleas
ing program of the best OF the male
glee music under the direction of Sid
ney A. Baldwin. With two artists of
the highest standard, both thorough
musicians, the Club will endeavor to
far surpass their successful concert of
last May, and give Morristown a mu-
steal treat that is seldom heard, and
SurpaSs any similar organizations that
haye been presented here. The So
prano, Miss Maude Z. Klotz, who is
one of Brooklyn's youngest and most
promising singers, possesses a rare
voice of great power and sweetness,
Which taken In connection Of her keen
Interpretation of themes, makes her
singing most charming. She has a
pleasing manner and her success in the
musical world is aSSured.' Mrs. Vera
III. Fonarotf, the Russian violiniste, is
one Of the best prOcurable, and will
give music lovers and especially violin
lists a remarkable exhibition of true
violin playing. " Possessing the most
beautifully toned violin heard in Den
yer Col. in years, and equipped with
wonderful ability, Mrs. FonarofP gave
her hearers a rare treat and main
tanned peculiar individual distinct
ness and beauty of execution that was
something of revelation" Mrs.
Fonaroff will play the first movement
of Tachaikowsky's Concerto in ID
Major, one of the most difficult con-
certos written. The Club will open
the concert with one of the most beau
tiful cantatas written for mems voices.
No one should miss this concert.
Nothing has been spared to make it
an evening Of value, one to be remem-
bered.
