SURE CURE FOR SNORING.

To the snorers who ask for the
cure let the cause be announced.
Snoring is the result of stomachic
repletion and mental vacuity. A cor
respondent who has suffered from
both prescribes the cure. A light
superior none-to avoid repletion,
and the frequent repetition of some
literary phrase to provide occupation
for the mind during sleeping hours.
Go to bed fasting and think of some
short literary phrase to occupy your
mind. The combination of the two
prescriptions against snoring-the
abstention from food and the medi-
tation upon the literary phrase
may be found in Ecclesiasticus-the
ninetieth verse of the thirty-frst
chapter: Glow sufficient to a WELL
hammered man is very little, and
he doth not breathe hard upon his
bed"

BRITISH WOMEN AS PIONEERS
Or. Ethel smyth Has Opera Produced
and Orchestra Contains Several
Feminine Performer

For the first time in the history
Of English music women have been
heard in frst-class orchestra DR..
Ethel Smyth, the first woman TO
have an opera produced in England,
is the pioneer of this project, and
introduced a woman fiautist and per-
cussionist, as well as a woman at the
drum, into the orchestra, which in
terpreted her varied and magnif-
cent harmonies at a recent matinee
at a London theater. Hitherto a
woman harpist is the only feminine
figure which has appeared in first
class orchestra, the harp being what
DR.. Smyth describes as can eminent
" ladylike instrument" She claims
that women can look very pretty
playing wind instruments, and that
their femininity need not have any
effect on the volume of sound they
produce. The amount of noise is
not result necessarily of physique,
but rather of intensity of feeling
this is DR.. Smyth's contention and in
intensity it cannot be said the
women are lacking. The songs in
which these ladies were tested were
extremely difficult and very modern,
and have hitherto taxed the capacity
of the frst-class male performer to
the utmost, but they stood the test
admirably, and there seems no good
reason why in future the symphony
orchestra and its prototypes should
not have the dull monotony of its
black-coated music masters relieved
by feminine frills.

citc fleet has assembled at Los
Angeles and the Atlantic forces
have steamed down the North
River, reviewed by the Secretary
of the Navy. Over a hundred
vessels were in the review. Six
dreadnoughts and eighteen battle
ships formed the main forces;
two of the big armored cruisers,
plus types of the cruiser class.
the new destroyer fotilla. and the
oil and more or less outworn tor
pedo boats made up the column of
which the auxiliaries formed the
rear. To the onlookers who lined
the banks Of the Hudson this
armada appeared all-impressive.
In fact. however, the feet was
not homogeneous. 1t was medley
of types. Many of the ships were
not modern, and some, like the
Indiana and Iowa class, have al
most outlived their usefulness.
Oar dreadnoughts land nothing

not sufficient destroyers properly

Nor are the present auxiliaries,

are important parts of a fleet in

ries of the Navy have repeatedly
pointed out that the officers in the
higher grades are too old for their
rank in comparison with other
navies, and that the present meth
cd of promotion is unsatisfactory.
The recent reorganization of the
Navy Department has not vet

though conducive to efficiency.
and public moneys are still wasted
on navy yards which are unnec-
essary to the unkeep of the fleet.
The burden of all this is not on
the navy. The responsibility lies
with Congress.
Whatever it may lack in mate
rial, however, the fleet itself is
highly efficient. Never has the
spirit of the personnel been high

could not hit barn. Today our
target practice is as good as that

OF st. Peters church the members
of that congregation are now turn

as a center for weekday activities
of the parish organizations.
With funds already in hand and
with collections taken at the con-

for a nucleus of parish house fund.

Lrance of those who have passed away
that comes to everyone sooner or
later and adds a hush of solemnity
TO mems lives and makes them feel
the manhood within them.
The speaker made the point that
though the eulogies of those who
have died sometimes sound extrava-
CANT and do not, perhaps, interpret
what they were they interpret rather
what they wanted to be. But why
wait until people are dead before
thinking of them with kindness? May
these memorial services make us
think of the living so that we may
fulfill those principles of fidelity,
justice, charity and brotherly love as
are the watchwords of this lodge.
Mr.. Bennett closed by pointing out
TO his hearers that it was their mis-
sion to help their brother man to be
better man.
An eulogistic address was also de-
livered by Brother p j. Hayes. of
the Jersey City lodge of Elks.
The musical part of the service
was particularly pleasing. Brothers

Brother w. Franklin Hartenstine the
accompaniments to vocal solos by

e. Babbitt.
Mr. Gallagher was in his usual good
voice and his solo Face to Face

Babbitt sang Beyond the Gates of

SENATOR PRICE LOST.

in Suit

Sale of Morristown Property Involved
in Suit.
The Court of Errors and Appeals
has affirmed decision of Chancel. or
Pitney in holding that Mrs Robert
A Price had a prior lien upon an
cyerplus OF approximately $2.7O0, re-
sulting from the sale of property in
Morristown
The appeal was taken by Senator
Jacob C. Price, of Sussex county, who
claimed title to the surplus The
transactions resulting in the suit
were complicated. by divorce proceed
ings brought in South Dakota by Rob
ert A. Price, brother of Senator
Price.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert A. Price gave
q mortgage upon the Morristown prop
erty, which was bought in by Senator
Price at sheriff's sale, under fore
closure proceedings. Before the sher-
ifs deed had been executed, Senator
Price filed a petition claiming that
the property had been already con-
veyed to him by his brother, and
that by virtue of this sale and con
veyance he was entitled to the $2,-
700 surplus after the mortgage had
been satisfied
Mrs. Robert A. Price did not join in
the deed to Senator Price. but sub
sequently set up claim upon the
surplus money, urging her inchoate
right of dover, and more particular
ly because of sequestration proceed
ings following the suit for divorce in
South Dakota. This divorce was re-
fused, the court making an order re-
quiring Mr.. Price to pay his wife ali
mony.
The legal question presented was
whether. by virtue of the writ of Sc
questration, lien was acquired upon
the land that should take precedence
of the title acquired by Senator Price
under the deed of his brother. Chan
cel,or Pitney denied the senator's ap-
plication to have the surplus money
paid in as purchaser, reserving, how
ever, his right as against all other
parties other than Mrs. Robert A.
Price and his right to SO much of the
surplus as might remain when the
rights of Mrs. Price had been termi-
mated. or otherwise disposed Of

BRIDGE CASE IN COURT.
Lake Hopatcong Residents Want
Raccoon Island Bridge.

Lake Hopatcong Residents Want
Raccoon Island Bridge.
In order to compel the Morris coun-
ty board of freeholders to build a
bridge between Raccoon island and
the east shore of Lake Hopatcong.
J. c Megie. has brought mandamus
proceedings The freeholders were
requested to build the bridge last
spring. A committee, of which Free
holder Frank G.. Curle was chairman,
was appointed to investigate The
committee reported that to build a
steel and concrete bridge for the $50
it. required would cost $4,000. sum-
mer hotel on the island accommodates
100 guests and there are thirty fam
lilies living there in summer, only
one or two of which are there the
year round.
The committee said that, in its
opinion, the necessity for the bridge
does not justify the expense. The
freeholders adopted the committees
view of the proposition and the mat
ter was dropped. The residents of
the island claim that the bridge win
cost about $4,000 to build. Charlton
A. Reed, setting as a special master,
has taken testimony in the case and
it will be argued by means of briefs
before this term of the New Jer-
sey Supreme court. Carl V. Vogt
represents Mr.. Megie and County
holders.
