OF centennial celebrations we have had
enough and to spare, perhaps, in the last dozen
years. A bi-ccntcnnial anniversary is, how
ever, something of novelty. Passaic, n. j.,
enjoyed this experience yesterday and took full
advantage of it. A finer day for such an occur
renee could not be desired. The world has
learned good deal in the last two hundred
years, but the founders of cities have not
gained much upon the men who planted
Passaic and wisely chose the second week in
June for doing so. The celebration was in
every respect satisfactory banquet,
addresses and all. All Passaic and the sur
rounding country turned out to see the show
and everybody Was happy and proud.

A Brilliant Round of Amusementsat Phoe-

oring the Nations Birthday.
The weather Of Saturday and Sunday
last was all that could be desired by those
interested in the success of the entertain
ments given on those days for the benefit
of Phoenix Steam Fire Company's engine
fund, and as consequence of this aus
picious condition the attendance on both
dates was good and the financial results
have proved highly satisfactory.
The first important feature of the pro-
gramme was musical and dramatic enter
tainment at Phoenix Hall, Saturday even
ing, under the auspices of the Donaldson
vile Dramatic Club and the Ladies' Aid
Association. After we'll rendered over
ture BY the Independent Band, Mr.. Henry
Comstock favored the audience with a
song which was sheartily applauded. The
amusing English farce entitled Sci on
Parle Francois " was then presented in
spirited and admirable style with the sub
joined cast Of charac ters.

Dancing followed the farce and was con-
tinued several hours by those fond of the
exhilarating amusement. The refreshment
tables on the lower floor, in charge of the
amiable ladies Of the Aid Association, we're
fairly well patronized, as was the bar es-
tablished under an awning on the public
square opposite the Hall and attended by
several Of the most popular members of the
fire company.
Sunday, the glorious fourth of July, was
looked forward to as the principal and
most successful day of the festivals, and the
general anticipation was by no means dis
appointed. The days amusements-bar-
ring some desultory target and pigeon
shooting at Cleveland Park Of which we OBJ
tanned no record-began with the firing of
MONDAY salute on the public square by a
gun squad of the Ascension Rifles. A meet
ing was then held at Phoenix Hall, presided
over BY Mayor E. N. Pugh, who introduced
Capt. r. Prosper Landry as the chosen
reader of the Declaration Of Independence.
Capt. Landry prefaced the reading with a
few eloquent and we'll chosen remarks that
ELECTED warm demonstrations of approval
from his audience.
After spending some little time in and
around the Hall, sampling the good things
prepared for the public delectation by the
ladies' auxiliary association or dispensed
from the outdoor bar, the people began to
move towards Cleveland Park, led by the
Independent Band, where some seven or
eight hundred persons, including many la
dies, assembled before the day was over
and enjoyed an afternoon of varied amuse-
ments.
First in order was the shooting match
between chosen teams of the r. o. Landry
and Ascension Gun Clubs, which was hand
lily won by the former. The score was as
follows. each competitor shooting at ten

While the base ball game was in progress,

The presence and music of the Independ-

the base ball field, did land Office business
and was well conducted in all respects.

What surprises there are in modern

harmless looking substance soda, can
be so manipulated that it may be CON
verted into powerful motor. A car
is run from State street, Chicago, the
motive power of which is soda. 1t
does net require any fire, is noiseless,
emits no offensive smells, has no ex-
haust stack or steam whistle to fright
en- horses, makes fully as good time
as the old-fashioned steam dummy.
1t takes only thirteen minutes to
charge it, and it will run six hours
after it is loaded. The Boston and
Albany Railroad Company is also
building a forty ton soda fountain to
haul its trains through Boston; a SINH

pany in Minneapolis is about to close
