Humane Engine Company Planning to
GIVE Morristown Better service.
Becoming dissatisfied with the SER
vice given the town by its inability to
get its steamer to fires owing to lack
of horses, Humane Engine Co., No.
2, of the Morristown fire department
has launched movement for the pur-
chase of team Of horses to pull the
steamer. The company gets excellent
service for its hose wagon, Charles Nc
Collum, the liveryman, getting the
wagon to fires just as quick as that of
other companies with horses in their
houses. For long time difficulty has
been encountered by the board OF en-
gineers in securing horses for the
steamer, The liveryman do not care
to furnish horses for so heavy a ma
chine and other arrangements made
have proven far from satisfactory. On
many alarms the machine has not been
taken from the house.
The company, made up Of energetic
young business men and mechanics, is
naturally displeased with this state Of
affairs and is making an effort to raise
sufficient funds to purchase it's own
horses.
The company last spring engaged a
carnival company in the hone of realiZ-
ing good sum for this purpose, but
the weather man was against the
scheme and the company lost money
through the failure Of the enterprise.
The company has therefore asked the
townspeople for assistance and ap-
pointed committee of which Jesse w.
LePine is chairman Walter o. Stiles,
treasurer; the other members being
Robert Mack, Fred j. Sharrette and
Daniel Losey.

er, he was therefore a tenant from

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH BUILT
William scholz has Manufactured an

William Scholz has Manufactured an
Apparatus for Use in MorrIstown.
William P. Scholz, of Chestnut
street, has about completed wireless
telegraph apparatus, upon which he
has been working for the past three
weeks. All the parts, with the ex-
ception of a relay and sounder, are of
his own manufacture. When the ap-
paratus is in use there can be no but
ting in " by outside people, for Scholz
has made use of the syntonic system,
making use of the property of reson-
ance. Combined in the instruments
are also the auto and authenic sys
TENS.
AS current from battery will be
used to operate the instruments, and
an alternating current being neces-
sary, Scholz has manufactured an in
terrupter which is attached to the
transmitting board. The coil is wound
for a two-inch spark and in the Sec
ondary winding more than a mile and
a half of wire was used. The two
eoherers are also of Scholz's manu-
facture, one being self-acting and the
other operated by Taper. The CO.
herers, which are of the mercury style,
are worked on the system of heating
the mercury. TelenhOne receivers will
be attached for wireless telephony.
The apparatus, which is being con-
structed for Harry Halloway and Ar
thur Kenny, will have it's atenn@, one
upon Halloway's home on Chestnut
street and the other upon Kenny's

Benelts Of Trolley service.

Those who attended the opening ex-
ercises of the Montclair Normal school
and found themselves dismissed in a
drizzling rain with the prospect of a
long wait for trolley service were
agreeably surprised to find a dozen
cars at the end of the track waiting
for them, and praised the thoughtful-
ness of the Public Service officials.
They will appreciate the following
from the Montclair "Times :"
Numerous extra cars were placed
on the Valley road trolley line on Mon
day to convey the visitors to the dedi-
cation of the State Normal school, at
Montclair Heights. The service was
very acceptable and doubtly appreciat-
ed on account of the inclement wealth
er. 1t also brought to mind the bitter
opposition Of many of our tOwnspeople
to the introduction of the trolley some
ten years ago. Without trolley facili-
ties the new State Normal school,
magnificent institution. indeed, would
never have been located in Montclair.''

Puts Stop to the Fun Saturday Even
Ing Disappointing Many People.
The rain on Saturday evening was
the cause of much displeasure in con-
nection with the auto carnival of the
world. Many planned to make the
trip in the evening and were disap-
pointed, while there we're throngs
who we're stranded at the different
stations on the route and were COM
PEELED to come home on railroad trains.
In the afternoon the throngs who be-
set the management at Turkey, the
stop in Morristown, were so great
that the officials were overwhelmed
and great deal of confusion resulted.
The Madison officials insisted that
all the cars be unloaded at the Madi-
son terminal, the new Young Mems
Christian association building, and
this was the cause, it is believed of
the trouble, for it was not a scheduled
stop.
Despite the bad weather the Young
Mems Christian associations of Nor
ristown and Madison and the Chat
ham clubs will fair we'll from the pro-
ceeds.
All the "cities' on the tour were
beautifully decorated and from an
artistic standpoint were superior to
anything seen in this section before.
Hundreds Of ladies and gentlemen as
sisted, each of the 'cities" being
crowded with a gayly dressed throng
in the custume of the country the

Delightful PHASES of Lyman IL. Howe's
Lifeorama.

One of the many facts that distin-
guishes Lyman Ell. Howe'S Lifeorama
to be seen at the Lyceum, Wednesday
evening, above all others is the artis-
tic mimicry of appropriate sounds by
staff of clever imitators. Another
equally distinguishing feature is the
arrangement of the subjects so that
each compliments the other by con-
trast. By the way of illustrating this
in the new program, the iSspectator
suddenly transferred from the streets
of Naples to witness the weird effects
OF physical phenomena, or the dar-
ing hors anShi ip of Australians.
Then he is taken from the historic
ruins of Benares in India to the
grandeur of Niagara in winter, or the
ineffable beauty of Savoy in France !;
from the sculptured art of Rome to
the sulphur mines of Sicily, or the
fearless daring Of English jockeys in a
ten mile steeplechase A new Reed
ham Orphan drill the strange pranks
and associations of animals and birds,
and many other features compose
program Of endless variety and start
ling contrasts.
