LOVERS OF MUSIC
PROMISED TREAT
At AR|0N CONCERT
Fine Solo, Chorus and Instru-
mental Program Arranged for
Monday Night.

That the Arion Singing Society will
add to its fame as an organization of
high musical merit by the presentation
OF its program in the Kruger Audi
forum, Monday night, is an assured
fact.
The soloists, who have earned dis
t~inction in the field of music, will be
Miss Marie Stoddart, soprano; Miss
Marie Heisler, alto, and Max Pilzer,
violinist.
For nearly fifty years the society has
been energetically and intelligently at
work developing local talent, and I'M
der the brilliant baton of julius Lo-
REM has reached such a high plane
in the realms of the Fart divine" that
its concerts are a distinct treat to
music lovers.
Besides several novelties to be pre-
sented by the chorus of eighty trained
voices, there will be some songs always
dear to the sons and daughters of the
Fatherland. Thirty-five players of ac-
knowledged merit will make up the
orchestra, which has always been a
favorite feature of the Arion concerts

THE LARKj DIDN'T
HAVE ANYTHING ON
CHARLES COP DID
HES Back After Call and Bonn
bards Miss Daley with Song
from 4 to 7 A. M.

Charles McBaron, of 80 Hartford
street, was a perfect gentleman the
first time he called on Miss Bertha
Daley. in her home, 81 Thirteenth
avenue, last evening, but his suisse
quent visits brought trouble to him.
Miss Daley said in the Fourth Pre-
cinct Police Court today that she en-
joyed his formal call, which terminated
at II p. M, ever SO much, but that
when he returned to the house at 4
a. m. and serenaded her with cat-calls
and much other noise she protested.
He was under my window when l
was awakened by his frightful calls at
4 o'clock this morning. said Miss
Daley. II raised the window and
asked him what la the matter. He
said he was serenading me. / asked
him to please go away and let me
sleep. Then 1 threatened him with
arrest and he departed.
Then he returned at Z o'clock and
was worse han ever, singing, Love
Me and the World Is Nine There's
Only One Girl in All This World for
Me- and Always He would not go
away. so I telephoned for a police
man."
McBaron looked as though he had
had q hard time. His memory was
bad. He could remember drinking only
one glass of beer, but, he explained, 1t
might have had a bad effect because
he carelessly drank a glass Of ~seltzer
andl emon on top of 1t.
II guess the froth on the beer and
the lemon in the seltzer went to my
head" he said.
II think 1t quite likely" said Judge
Herr. "Tll send you back to a cell to

No opportunity arose last night at

CONDUCTOR FREED
ON CHARGE OF
ATTACKING MAN
Court Holds That He Was JUS
titled in Ejecting Passen-
ger from Car.

The troubles of a trolley conductor
were aired in the First Criminal Cour
today, and while the conductor in this
case was the defendant, he came out
with flying colors. He was ably as
sisted to victory by a large number of
traction employees, who were sure the
defendant was the injured party.
Some days ago Herbert ~Schaeffer, of
80 Chestnut street, boarded an Eliza
beth-Newark car at Branford place.
Conductor Joseph Scott was in charge.
He asked Schaeffer for his fare, so the
story goes, and Schaeffer, who claimed
to have paid it, refused to do so the
second time. The usual argument fol-
lowed and witnesses for both sides
agreed on the argument, but differed
when 1t came to describing the fight
which ensued. Schaeffer and his
friends said the conductor struck the
first blow.
Scott had a big army of witnesses
who declared that Schaeffer was the
offender, I'M the complaint against
Scott was dismissed by Acting Judge
Freeland.

Cleaning Light Suits.

II Is not always necessary to SEND
light cloth coats or. cloaks to the
cleaners whenever they appear lit
tie soiled by smoke and dust.
A successful method of removing
surface dirt consists In rubbing the
material with equal parts OF oat-
meal and whiting applied with
piece OF flannel. The coat should be
well shaken, and the same applica-
ton repeated once or twice, until
the cloth looks perfectly clean. After
shaking 1t once more 1t should be
pressed on the wrong side with
warm iron.
An old authority recommends the
following chalk pencils" as an eff
ectual means of removing grease
stains from silk, wooden or linen
dresses. Reduce an ounce OF French
chalk to powder and mix with five
ounces Of very fine pipe clay. adding
two ounces Of spirits Of wine, Work
well into a paste. and then make
into balls and shape into rolls the
length and breadth OF the first fin
ger. Let the rolls dry, and they
will be ready for use. The stains
should be rubbed gently with the
pencils" and afterward washed
with cold water.

trousers ever seen on man In TINS
