instrument for Son.

The famous violin, called Chef
Observation-Disclosures" which decades
ago was played by the old music
masters of Europe, has finally been
purchased by L. H. McHose a clay
mine owner of Perth Amboy at the
price of $4,000. The instrument, be-
worth $4,000. The violin was sec
ured from Colonel H. Ripple, of
Scranton, Pa, who in his turn pur-
chased it from Professor Van Dever-
ken, of the same place, who in 1898
had brought the stringed instru-
ment from Belgium to America. Mr..
McHose bought the instrument for
his son, Malcolm, a violinist at Cor
nell.
The violin originally came from a
rare collection of music pieces in the
possession of a banker in Brussels,
named Stephens. The celebrated
violinist Cheffnier, a friends of the
banker, attracted by the sweet tones
of the instrument, was allowed to
purchase it. With it the musician
played before the largest audiences
in the world; finally H. Viuxtemps
another skilled artist got possession
of the violin and for years won much
renown with it's strings. At the
death of the musician the prize vent
to his brother, L. Viuxtemps, who
did not value the instrument so high
ly, and sold it to Professor Van De-
verken, of Scranton, in 1898.

musician, playing the first violin in

Cornell, where he is in his freshman

REPUBLICANS
SEE SUCCESS
State Executive Committee
Have Meeting in Newark.

Newark, Dec. 19.-Comp1ete con.
fidence in the future of the Republi-
can party in New Jersey vas ex-
pressed at the meeting of the execu
tive committee of the state commit.
tee, at headquarters here yesterday
afternoon has apparently not damp
ened the ardor of the old leaders,
who applauded former Governor
Franklin Murphy when he said: THE
Republican party is practically i'm
mortal and cannot be killed by one
defeat, nc matter how severe; the
party was founded on principles that
are bound to live, and those princi-
pies ooner or later will bring the
people back to the fold"
The meeting was held behind
closed doors and lasted three hours,
most of the time being given up to a
discussion of plans for the rehabili-
tation of the party. There was no
suggestion from any of those pres
ent that they were ready to give up
and let the politics of the State be
guided by other hands. AS one of
the committeeman put it, there was
neither disgust with the present con
dition of the party nor discourage
ment over it's failure.
State Chairman Edmund w. Wake
lee presided. Around his sat Mr..
Murphy, former United States Sena-
tor John Kean, United States Sena-
tor Frank o. Briggs, David Baird, of
Camden: George NJ. Mccarthy, of
Hudson; A. B. Leach, Edward D.
Duffield, Edward w. Gray, Alfred N.
Dalrymple, Benjamin F. Jones, John
D. Everitt and Winton C. Garrison,
of Essex.
Mr.. Wakelee gave out a formal
statement after the meeting, which
was a plea for harmony between the
~Progressives and the Republicans
and something more than a mere
suggestion that they should act In
common next fall to elect a Governor
and Legislature.
