That a roller skating rink is appre-
ciated in Morristown was demonstrat-
ed on Saturday, when at both after
noon and evening sessions the entire
supply of skates provided, including
those for sale were used and then
many persons who desired to skate
were disappointed. At the evening
session, the sale of admissions was
suspended soon after the opening of
the house. Music was provided by an
electrical piano and band of brass IN
strumentS with drum and triangle
and proved attractive. On Monday
evening there was a large attendance

1t Has stood the Test, He Says, and

Governor John Franklin Fort, OF
New Jersey, spoke on February 22nd
at a luncheon of the Connecticut So
ciety, Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, at New Haven. His subject was
" Washington and the Constitution OF
1881"
tThere are but two great writings
in history prior to the nineteenth cen
tury, said the Governor, (which recog-
nize the absolute equality in govern
ment of all men. These two are the
Declaration of Independence by our
fathers in 1776 and the Constitution
of this republic of 1881"
The speaker dwelt at length on the
beginnings of the republic. "For 119
years." he said in conclusion, "the
Constitution has stood the test of
three foreign wars, of civil strife and
a period of expansion. Every people
looking for freedom the world over
takes our Constitution as a model.

Switzerland follows us, the South
American republics all follow us; Cuba,

THE INDEPENDENTS ENTERTAIN

The Fourth Annual Sociable of the
Hose Company an Enjoy able Affair.
The fourth annual social of Inde-
pendent Hose Company No, l., was if
anything an improvement upon it's
predecessors which is saying a great
deal. A large company Of the repre-
sentative men of Morristown assem-
bled in the spacious meeting room of
the company where cards, billiards
and other social features were the Or
der for couple of hours on Monday
evening. A feature Of the occasion
was a billiard match between the
clergy in which combination of Epis
copalian and Presbyterian defeated a
combination Of Methodist and Presby-
terian.
Later in the evening refreshments
were served, after which the guests
were welcomed by D. f. Sturges who
INDUCED in some pleasant reminiscen-
ceS and then introduced George G.
Smith as POSTMASTER who presided
with his usual dignitied solmnity, as
sisted by an immense maui. He first
read letters of regret from Rev. DR.
Hughes, Admiral Cooper and others;
among those sending regrets were
Theodore Roosevelt and William Jen-
nings Bryan, but they both had so To-
cal a flavor as to arouse suspician that
they were the handiwork of our local
jokesmith. A pleasing program. was
rendered, and brief talks made by
Chaplains Bennett, MacColl and Urmv,
Rev. Messrs. Sturges and Ironside and

The LAUTER Piano

In the manufacture of Lauter Pi-
amos, we have certain standards of ex-
cellence that are strictly adhered to in
the different departments; the result
is piano that is source of delight to
every person of critical musical iudg-
ment. Constantly we are being as
sured by dealers and pianists in all
parts of the United States that they
have been astonished to find how
superb was the tone quality, the mod
ulation and balance of scale, the reg
ulation, the finish of details and artistic
appearance Of our products.
A Western dealer who has been
particularly careful in his inquiries in
regard to quality and construction,
ordered his first shipment Of Lauter
Pianos quite recently. This is what
he has to say of them:
A careful examination of the pi-
amos that have just arrived convinces
me that your strong claims for quality
are borne out by the goods themsel-
yes. / have never seen finer pianos;
scarcely think | have ever seen as
fine. can only say that | am de-
lighted, and expect to use very many
Lauters as time goes on

We are always delighted to have
visitors enter our factory and see Lau-
ter Pianos in course of construction for
themselves. In no other way is it pos
sible to realize how exceptionally fine
is the construction of these instru-
ments; in no other way will you un-
derStand for yourself why Lauter Pi-
amos have acquired a reputation for
being pre-eminently instruments of
faultless workmanship and highest ar
tistic musical qualities.
We want everybody who may be
interested to have "The Lauter Piano
Book" We mail to any address on
request. This is bound volume of
100 pages; it tells the story of the

The Friday Evening Club.

The meeting of the Friday Evening
Club last Friday evening was particu-
larly appropriate to the holiday which
followed General James Grant Will
son was introduced as the first speaker
and told interesting personal reminis-
ences of Lincoln and Grant, and also
personal recollections of some of those
who knew Washington. He exhibited
a pair of gold sleeve links which Wash
ington presented to Benedict Arnold
after the latter'S victory at Saratoga,
tracing the successive owners to him
self. His recollectiOnS of Elizabeth
Schuyler, the daughter of General
Schuyler, who was courted by Alex
ander Hamilton while she was living
here. added a local flaver to the re-
marks. Another interesting article
which General Wilson showed was a
cabinet portrait of Lincoln with auto
graph signature presented to him by
the Martyr President only a short
time before he was killed,
William Wadsworth Ellsworth, Of
the Century Company followed with
an interesting address on 1.-THE Per-
sonal Washington, illustrated by
many steropticon views of several of
Washington's account books and sur
veys and a number of productions of
the likeness of the first President, as
painted by his. contemporaries The
presentation Of the subject gave his
hearers new conception of Washing
ton.

Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.

There was a test of school boys in
the gymnasium of the Y. NJ. G. A.
last Saturday morning, under the di-
rection of Physical Director Brink.
Seventy-one boys entered the test and
it was found that generally they were
somewhat deficient in the upper body,
the arms, shoulder, back and abdomi-
nal muscles. Their running, jumping
and such exercises were closer to the
standards. There were fifty-nine en-
tries from the Maple avenue school,
which secured the pennant with seven
tirsts, while the Speedwell avenue had
twelve entries, but only secured two
second prizes. Twenty-one were men,
bers of the Association and they took
eight of the prizes.

1tallans vlslt the 11endanartera.

Saturday again witnessed the pill
grimage Of local Italian residents to
Washington'S headquarters, over
seyen-hundred men, women and child
ren, visiting that building during the
day. The pilgrimage has been fea-
ture for this is the third year. 1t
started with the children who heard
of George Washington and his head
quarters in school and told their elder
brothers and sisters and parents. First
the children went alone to the building
and then the older ones started until
now it means pretty nearly all the
italian population.
Eney Grupelli says that although it
is a case of the children teaching their
elders it is also an exhibition of the
fact that the Italians are waking up
in many ways, one of them to Ameri-
can ideals. The earlier arrivals in
town did not go to the headquarters
because they had little idea of staying
in America and preferred to keep their
own holidays, looking on those kept
here as for Americans only, but that
is changed ana there is a constantly
increasing reverence for American
heroes and places. In Italy it is the
custom TO visit the noted places and
that feeling with the change OF pur-
pose has been transferred to American
places.

THE PASSING rHRoAc
! Remlnlncencc. of FoothnII.

Auburn is certainly due to win to- day." said a witness of the game In Macon last year between that team and Georgia. They ought to do some thing to avenge the hard luck which befell them last Thanksgiving.
 For the first half they fought grim ly over a muddy field, man after man was knocked out, but the game was one of the cleanest ever played. Not until the last half was anything like a score in sight. and that was when Auburn bucked Georgia straight down the field to within a few yards of the goal line; then Georgia rallied, held, recovered the ball and kicked to safer territory. |.
 Tt was long punt and the ball was slimy with water and mud. It was muRed, and Auburn was forced to try to kick to get nearer mfi-feld. The ball was kicked. but kicked too low. It struck an Auburn man and bounded of, free for any man to get. Lucas, a big Georgia linesman, got 1t and the tired teams started on a wild race down the field. Auburn was gaining on Geor- gia until Woodruff. the plucky little Georgia quarter, got grip on his team mates collar and flew with the big fellow the remaining distance for the goal line. to be tackled by an Auburn player just a ffair's breadth too late.
 In the game today it would be a good Idea to watch Woodruff. for If any man deserved all Southern quarterback last year, he was It."
