GREATEST CROWD
IN history OF
LUTHERAN Church
Attended Supper and Bazaar at X.
M. X, c. Hall Last Might
Nearly 900 in Attendance.

The unusually generous patronage
e a supper, given last evening by
the ladies of the Lutheran church
at the X. NJ. X. c. hall called for
such a supply of material that It
was not long before the supply was
exhausted especially of turkey which
was the ad dyertised kind of a sup
per given. The ladies only expected
to entertain about $50 people at
supper and had prepared for a few
more than that number. Instead Of
so there were nearly six hundred
served, which as might be inferred
called for considerable hngtling on
the part Of the ladies to prepare
such a great quantity of food as that
number of people would require. It
has been thirteen years since the
ladies of the church had given an
affair of this kind and they had
probably overlooked the fact that
the Lutheran church had grown so
popular,
The ladies' desire TO thank the
public for the liberal patronage at
their supper and bazaar and regret
exceedingly that THE turkey gave
out and they wish to doubly thank
those who took supper in which
substitutes for turkey had TO be
supplied.

KAHN ESTATE SHUT
TO VANDA[ PUBLIC
Banker Incensed by Visitors
Who Raid Flower Beds at
Morristown Home.

MORRISTOWN, June S.-Angry at
the vandalism of sightseers, Otto II.
Kahn. of the banking house of uhn,
Loeb IL Co., New York, and director
of the Metropolitan Opera Company,
has closed the gates of Cedar Court
his estate ON the outskirts of this
town.
Cedar Court is one of the finest
properties in this section. A beau
tiful drive winds from the Column
bia road, at Normandy Heights, past
Mr.. aims private golf links, his sheep
fold, the beautiful pond in the nat
ural forest for mile or more to Mad
ison avenue. For years this drive
has been open to all, and in fine
weather hundreds of persons have
availed themselves daily of the op-
portunity of driving through the es-
tate.
Recently the depredations of the
vandals became noticeab BILE. Parties
stopped right in front of Mr.. aims
mansion and picked flowers from the
beds, while the numerous household
pets of the ahn children have been
moltsted. Squirrels, tanned to ac-
cept dainties from the hands of ad-
mirers. have been shot. Now a
watchman has been stationed at the
Madison avenue entrance and few
persons are permitted to enter.
