gank mountain it did not succeed and
passed into the hands of the National
bank of Port Jervis.
The tract is more than twice the
size of Central park in New York and

WINDOWS IN PLACES.
Beautiful stained Glass Works Of Art
In st. Peters church.

Beautiful stained Glass Works Of Art
in ST. Peters Church.
The long expected stained glass
windows have been put in place in st.
Peters church, one of them in the
chancel and the other in the tower.
They are English windows and both
the design and the character OF the
glass are in harmony with the archi-
lecture of the church. The makers
have followed the traditions of the art
at it's best in the fourteenth century,
following the suggestions OF a beauti-
full example of that art in window
still preserved in Wells Cathedral.
The figures are small and the effect
is not that of pictures made OF opal
escent glass, but of a mosaic of bril-
liant pieces of clear colored glass.
Ruby and blue and green appear in the
figures but the prevailing tone of the
chancel windows is a golden yellow in
harmony with the walls of the church.
In the tower window the back
ground is the green leaves of a grape
vine as in the cathedral at Wells. The
windows are wholly different in design
and structure from those made in the
new American method by John La
Fargo and carried out by Tiffany & Co.
They show very clearly that the old
art is not, as some have said, extinct,
but that it is being carried on as a liv-
ing art with the highest skill of mod
ern workmanship and design. Its
adaptation to the architecture of St.
Peters church is beyond question.
The makers and designers are James
Powell & Son Of the White Friars
Glass Works in London.

Morristown School Lads Re
ceive Awards for Their
Diligence in Studying,
COLLEGE MEMS ADDRESSES

Prize night drew many people to
MoTristown School Monday night.
Francis G. Woodman presided over
the gathering and introduced the two
speakers of the evening DR.. Robert

Harvard.
DR.. McElroy told the students that
an indispensable prerequisite for uni
versity life as well as the life beyond
the college was courage. 1t makes
no difference what.your ancestry was,
how much money you bring to college
nor whether your family is in the
blue book" said DIR. McElroy, +" in
college what counts is what you can
do" He explained the honor system
in vogue at Princeton and gave the
lads some solid advice on how to con-
duct themselves at the university.
That boy should choose oneiline of
study and stick to it was Assistant
Dean Castles advice. 1.-THE colleges
want to turn out men able to do fine
work for their country" said the
speaker, and when you go to college
it is to learn to be better citizens Of
your country"
Mr.. Woodman then read off the list

The MorriStown A. A. turned the
tables on the Brooklyn Professionals
Saturday afternoon on the hilltop dia-
mond when they defeated them in a
close and interesting game by the
score of three to two. George Lacey
was on the mound for the locals and
held the Brooklynites safe throughout
the entire game. He made fourteen
of the visitors do the Casey act, al
lowed one man to walk and let them
hit his delivery for five singles and two
doubles. He retired the side on two
occasions, in the first inning and in
the seventh. Finnerty did not fare SO
good, as he was touched up for seven
singles and double, famed only one
walked two and dented one in the ribs.

session when Maloney singled on the
first ball pitch. Dempsey was there
with neat sacrifice sending him to
second. He scored on Doyle's fielder S

singled and in foolish attempt to
throw him out at first the short stop
heaved the ball over the first base
mans head and George went all the
way home. winning his own game.
