PLAN DECORATIONS
FOR C|TY'S EXHIBIT

The plan of the overhead decorations
for the Newark industrial exposition in
the First Regiment Armory has been
completed by Architects Guilbert &
Beetle, who nave given their services
to the exposition committee. The ar
rangement will be one of the most
beautiful and effective aver planned
for such an exhibition. The decorative
scheme will be called the golden glow"
and is to be carried out in golden yell
low, white and a little deep red, for
contrast.
The chief feature of the plan is a great
piece of tapestry that is to hang the
length of the ceiling. This drapery will be
in red and gold and held in place by bars
of red plush and heavy cords and tas-
sells. The two ends, deeply fringed, will
fall several feet from the last bars and
each will be ornamented by a large IN"
for Newark, elabarately designed. This
tapestry will measure thirty-seven feet
wide by two hundred feet long.
The great arch of the ceiling to the
skylight line will be done in golden yell
low, while az intervals of thirty-five feet
deep ~fiounces Of bunting crossing the build
ing from side to side will conceal rows of
electric lights.
The side walls, back of the exhibits, will
be in white, and the balcony rail in white
and gold, festooned with laurel. On the
~ thhh ~ EaAACA 0OpNAo wa
be placed large staff shields bearing de-
signs emblematic of Newark.
The floor covering will be lark
green burlap. The exposition commit
tee plans to furnish the floor covering,
signs and ratings to exhibitors to keep
harmony in the decorative idea. The
booths of exhibitors viii be protected
by white rails, and decorative posts
will hold the signs done in gold on a
background of dark red.
The Newark slogan will be carried

great urns of flowers, ornamental foun-
tains and other decorative details will
add to the beauty of the whole.
The brilliancy of the lighting will
be unsurpassed and arranged in such
a way as to produce a soft, bright
radiance instead of a direct glare of
light. An elaborate scheme is being
worked out by Guilbert & Beetle to
maxi the exterior decorations of the
building and the approach conform in
beauty with. the interior of the ar

Who's going to VIM" that is the all
taking part in The Stars prize play
writing contest have about finished
with their work, and the thoughts that
were confined to the forming of the
story are now taken up with the ques-
ton of who will be the winner?'.
Unfortunately there can only be one
winner. Unfortunately, again, all the
good plays cannot win the prize. There
will be many plays of merli "
of special mention and doubtless
worthy of presentation. but there will
only be one best" The writer of
thai best play will receive S15O In
gold. The date of the presentation of
this award will be announced later, as
will also the date on which the win
ming contestant will be reannounced.
1t is probable that the judges will
be prepared to announce their verdict a
week after the contest has been closed.
That will leave a limited time for the
players to prepare and rehearse their
parts for public presentation at the
Proctor theatres in Newark and Eliza
beth.
We have received a communication
from 1. NJ. L., In which It is asserted
that one of the contestants has dranna-
tized a story seen on the screen Of a
moving picture. If the story of a NOV
ing picture has been taken as a basis
for the story in this contest we should
consider the challenge well founded.
1t is for the original conception Of the
young scholar that the $3.50 prize is
offered, and in the plays that are pre-
sented we wan exhibited the sole
thought and talent Of the young
author. Contestants may rest assured
that before the judges have deter
mined upon the winning play the
merits of each will be carefully dis
covered and the award will be made
after a rigid and fair determination
Of the originality and authenticity Of
the play mas been made.
1.-THE Matchmaker is the title Of q
play written by Newton Pemgerthy, of
lat Kearny avenue, Kearny. This
young author is a pupil of the Public
School No. 2. The characters of THE
Matchmaker" are Paul Bender, a
wealthy bachelor; Geraldine Johnson,
his pretty ward; Jack Dunbar, his

Between
Ourselves

THE DIAMOND ON THE
CROSS!
For weeks past the public
prints have been full Of "dia-
mond on the cross" talk, and
some day-may the joyous day
not be far distant-we may see
four great arteries of traffic and
commerce e~ncircling the famous
Market and Broad street cross"
Ask any jeweler what the fiat
surface of a diamond is called
that fiat polished top through
which the understandings flash
and sparkle. He will tell you
that 1t is known as the TABLE"
The proposed Newark "dia-
mond on the CROSS will have
its table also, and that table will
be the great new Bamberger
storei
The intersection of Market
and Broad streets is probably
as famous a cross as there
is in the countryAand Is busy
therefore it is fitting that the
table" should be the great,
handsome new building that it is.
The table" Is a beautiful
reaIity-the diamond as yet,
is merely a remote possibility.
Perhaps the one may beget the
other. Who knows?

Professor Toward III.

The community was shocked to learn
during the past week that Professor
Walter E. Howard was seriously i'll with
heart trouble at his home on South
street.
In January Professor Howard was
confined to his room for several days
and it was noticed that he did not re-
gain his normal vigor. Some six weeks
ago he left for southern trip, and it
was hoped that stay in a warmer
climate for some time would greatly
benefit him. He was no better, how
ever, when he returned to Middlebury
last week, and during the last few days
his condition has been critical.
Professor Howard has many friends
in the community who will deeply
regret his illness and wish earnestly his
recovery. Among the college students
he is held in the deepest affection and
his serious illness casts a gloom over the
entire student body in the days preced-
ing Easter recess.

KILLS WIFE AND SELF.
Edward Alderman Stops Divorce
Proceedings with Bullets.

Roxbury, April 2. Edward Acker-
man, aged az years, shot and killed his
wife, Lillian, aged 19, about $3.50 yester-
day afternoon and then shot himself,
both dying instantly.
The double shooting took place in the
home of Edward Sayers, father of Mrs.
Alderman, and followed an attempt to
induce his wife to go out for a walk
with him. She had filed a suit for di-
vorce against him at the present term
of Washington County court and they
have not lived together for month or
six weeks, because of his excessive
drinking.
Ackerman came to RoXbury yester-
day afternoon on the local train, COM
ing from Montpelier. He went at once
to the Sayer house, about half mile
from this village. His wife and their
two children, one aged nine months and
the other two years, were at the house
as we'll as Mrs. Sayers. Mr.. Sayers
was away after load of hay.
Ackerman went into the room where
his wife was and tried to prevail on her
to accompany him for short walk, pre-
sumably with the intention of trying to
induce her to drop the divorce suit and
live with him again.
II won't go. I'll stay in this chair
till die first, ~ said Mrs. Ackerman in
response to his pleading.
"All right then,' shouted Ackerman
as he whipped out revolver from his
pocket and fired, the shot taking eff
feet in his wifes chest and killing her
instantly. He then turned the gun on
himself and inflicted a wound near the
heart that caused instant death.
Selectman and Justice of the Peace
w. A. Averill, Selectman F. C. Rich,
Constables John O'Grady and P. A.
Hall We're soon at the scene and after
viewing the bodies ordered them placed
in the hands of an undertaken. Acker-
mans body was taken to the M. E.
Chase undertaking rooms at Mortified
and that of bis wife remains in the
home of her parents.
The scene that met the eyes of those
called was horrifying one. Mrs. Ack-
erman lay in pool of blood where she
had fallen from her chair. Her hus-
bands body was part way through the
doorway into the Kitchen.
The Ackermans were married about
three years ago, having run away from
the girls home. The ceremony was
performed at Mortified. Ackerman
was stone cutter and was employed
some time after they were married at
the Davis Brothers shed at West Ber-
lin. He was addicted to drink and
Mrs. Ackerman. finally left him about
six weeks ago, coming to her parents
home here. Ackerman was here
about a week ago and was ordered
from the house by Mrs. Alderman S par
ents.

ANTI-ClGARETTE LAW.
Petition Circulated TO Enforce
Law as to Minors.

A petition is being circulated in the
village, calling attention to the illegal
sale of cigarettes and tobacco to minors,
which reads as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned residents of
Middlebury village and vicinity, firmly
believing that the use of tobacco, and
especially of cigarettes, is harmful to
the physical and mental development of
growing boys and young men, do pledge
ourselves to do everything in our
power to prevent the unlawful sale or
furnishing of tobacco and cigarettes to
minors.
1--WE understand that the state laws
prohibit the sale or furnishing of cigar
cites or cigarette papers to persons
under the age of 81 years; and we prom
Use to make special efforts to know
whether or not such laws are being
violated and if any such violation comes
to our knowledge or attention, to make
complaint to the proper authorities.
"We also deplore the participation in
school and college athletics of habitual
tobacco users, believing such particl-
pants unfit representatives of the insti-
tuition they attend.
The above is being signed by large
number of the representative citizens
Of this community. 1t is no idle threat.
The fragrant violation of the cigarette
and tobacco laws of this state, is daily
evidenced on the streets of Middlebury.
Boys, not more than thirteen or four
teen years of age are seen daily, puff
ing away on cigarettes, while the vast
majority of youths under twenty-one
are habitual users of them.
For the benefit of those who do not
know the law we append it:
Section l. A person who sells or
gives away or furnishes to any person
under twenty-one years of age cigar
cites, cigarette papers or cigarette
wrappers shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction, shall
be fined not more than fifty dollars or
imprisoned in the house of correction,
not more than two months, or shall
suffer both penalties at the discretion of
the court, for each offense.
Section II. This act shall take effect
January l, 1901. Approved November
81 1900.
