MODEST DAN SHEA.
The Retiring NIB of the Fire Boar6
Does Not Like Taffy.

The Retiring emb of the Fire Board
Does Not Like Taffy.
The old Board of Fire Commits
sioners expired last night. The new
one was organized, and President Con-
way was reelected unanimously.
Thomas Quinlan, the member
who succeeds Mr.. Shea from the Third
Alderlnanic District, was present, and
during the meeting of the old Board
sat by the side of his predecessor.
The old Board did nothing more
than approve the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting and adopt the following
resolution offered by Commissioner
Madden
Whereas, Daniel F. Shea. a member of this
Board for the Third Aldermanic district, is about
TO retire in consequence of the expiration of his
term of office; and
Whereas, During his official connection with US
he has always performed the duties of the office
with credit to himself and with a due regard for
the public interest; therefore, be it
Resolved, In severing his official relations with
courteous manner in which he has treated his
associates, and hope the same will continue to be
extended to us in the future.
There was a peculiarly edged tone
of sarcasm in the retiring Commits
s~ioner's response. He said the resolu-
tions smeared him with taffy, and he
didn't quite like it. He had. been
elected as a republican member Of the
Board, but he had tried to do his
duty, not as a republican, but as a
citizen. He had felt the pressure of
the majority at times when disaffec-
ton waxed bitter. strength is might,
the weaker suffer. l thank you for
the vote of thanks, as you call it,"
Then. vacating his seat and turning
to Mr.. Quinlan, he said
Allow me to present you your seat.
| hope you will do your duty"
And with a significant ''Au revoir,
gentlemen he left the room.
Clerk Estabrook called the new
Board to order. Commissioner Mad
den was elected temporary chairman.
Commissioner Guiton nominated
President Conway for reelection, and
there was no opposition.
The President made q short speech,
thanking the Board for the honor con
ferred. There is more honor in the
position, however, he said, than
there is in the work ahead. While
am vested with power to appoint com
mittees | shall appoint no one to serve
without the full approval of the
Board.n
The Board then adjourned to meet
tonight at eight o'clock.

The costumes of the ladies were
handsome, but no extra pains had
been taken to ''bring out" fancy cos
tunes. The majority of the gentle
men were dressed in their usual clot4-

sprinkling Of dress suits.

Electoral Reform.

Some Republican editors have made
the mistake of charging the defeat OF
electoral reform on the Democratic
majority in the late Legislature. They
should study the facts before they
make such an accusation.
When Mr.. Kane introduced his
Australian Election bill early in the
session, the Republicans decided to
support it, not because they were in
favor of stopping bribery and intimi-
dation, but because they thought they
had a chance to put the Democrats
in a hole" as they expressed it.
The Democrats were earnestly and
sincerely in favor of electoral reform.
1t certainly is not the Democrats who
buy votes like merchandise and drive
workingmen to the polls like sheep.
But they saw the impracticability of
Mr.. Kane's as it stood. They
tried to remedy the defects, and with
this view more than one hundred
amendments were adopted in commit
tee. Even these changes did not put
the bill in proper shape, and the Dem
ocrats then proposed to pass it, but to
make it take effect January 1, 1890.
In the meantime the bill could be
studied and thenext Legislature could
perfect it.
But this proposition was rejected.
Democrats then decided to adopt
Senator Werts' substitute. 1t pro-
vided for the essential matter of secret
voting, but omitted the intricate
machinery provided for in the original
bill. This substitute would have
made bribery and intimidation i'm
possible. OF the ten Republican
Senators only two voted against it.
The Republicans in the House
showed their want of sincerity in the
cause of electoral reform by voting
this sensible down. They
desired to put the Democrats in a
hole" to gain political capital at the
expense of the purity of elections.
That bribery and intimidation will
still be possible at the next election in
the State of New Jersey is the fault
of the Republicans, not of the Demo-
Gratis.

Throwing the shoe After the Bride.

FROM CUuTluCTS JUttFIbttt.l
The custom of throwing an old shoe
after a newly married couple is almost
universal. Some think that it is a
relic of the days when the gallant
lover carried off his sweetheart by
force. Others ascribe good luck to an
old shoe, and throw it after the newly
married couple with the best intent.
This certainly is the most popular
view, and few parents dream that
when they throw her old shoe after
her they thereby give up for good and
all their control and right over their
daughter. Yet this is the significance
it had i'll the days when the Anglo
Saxon father handed to the bride
groom an old shoe of the bride. The
husband touched her on the head
with it as an assertion of his authority,
while the father, by the giving of the
shoe, signified his willingness to relin-
quish all claim or authority. In Tur-
key, however, it is the bridegroom
that is touched, and sometimes quite
severely, for the moment he is married
his friends and relatives set upon him
and pelt him with their slippers as q
sort of affectionate farewell.
