The figure '9'' in our dates is with US and

living will ever date a document without
using the figure %" 1t now stands on the
extreme right-1S99. Next year it will be in
the third place. where it will remain ten
years. 1t will then move up to the second
place-1900-and there it will rest 100 years.
There is another 50" which has also come
to stay 1t is called the No. g.. 1t is not like

it will have to wait until next year for third

this year stood in first place, and 1t will not
move from there; it is the new NO 81 High

But They Were Small and the
Losses insignificant.
The fire department was kept busy
yesterday by small blaZes. An alarm
at $3.50 In the morning was for fire in
the Bodega restaurant, on East Sixth
street, caused by an over-heated stove
pipe running through the ceiling. Abont
$50 damage is reported. An incipient
blaze in the dwelling at 467 North street.
occupied by E. w. Ulrici, caused an
other alarm at 1923 in the afternoon.
Shortly before O'Clock the department
was called to the plumbers supply
house of II. p. RHgg d Co., at 31S Sib-
ley street, by smouldering fire in a
quantity of Oakum stored IN the third
story. Water was poured on and the
stuff was thrown out Of rear window
into the alley, where it again ignited,
causing another alarm about O'clock.
A burning window curtain in the resi-
dence of A. T.. Hall. at 479 Clinton ave-
nue.. called out the department at $50.
The damage was nominal.

NO MORE FALSE ALARMS
From the A. ii. T.-DOings OF the
Fire Commiss toner's.

From the A. ii. f.-DOingS of the
Fire Commissioners.
The mott important business trans
acted by the board of fire commissioners
last night was the awarding of con-
tract for the supply of department
forage to Doudel q COffey, of 4SS Rice
street. There were many bidders for
the privilege. The successful bidders
agree to furnish 1900 bushels of oats
at 24119 cents per bushel, 500 tons of up
land wild hay at S7.SS per ton, and so
tons of straw at S6.82 per ton. all in
greater or less quantity. delivered at
the different engine houses as ordered.
After disposing of the routine business,
Il. +. NachtrieD and B. q. Yates. repre-
senting the A. D. T. company. were
given an opportunity to explain the
causes of certain false fire alarms and
other alarms that were improperly re-
ceived. The result of a half hours
harangue was that the A. ID. T. com
pany agreed to send in no more fire
alarms received over their wires from
sporting and disorderly houses where
drunken people have free access to their
boxes.

SOMEWHAT MiLLENNIAL.

Rev. Speare would have people
blacken their Sunday shoes on Satur-
day, so that they will be relieved of all
work on the Sabbath day. The next
thing in order will be for the dear peo-
pie to dress and take their meals on Sat
urday, so that they may be enabled To
sing the praises OF the Lord on Sunday.
When Attorney MeTwin suggested to
the Congregational club the advisa.
bllity of keeping open reading rooms
and allowing concerts and base hall
games ON Sunday. in preference to sa-
looms and gambling houses, he did not
strike ready response among his au-
ditOrs. The suggestion was receiv ed
with lack of enthusiasm. The general
opinion appeared to be to close every
thing on Sunday excepting the church
and Sunday school, regardless of the
fact that only 10 per cent of the people
can be accommodated in the churches.
what is to become of the remaining 50
per cent of the population?
II is singular fact that while in the
old world public opinion is becoming
broader, in the new world the tendency
is TO contract. Men are being treated
as if they were children, who
must be guarded against every
temptatiOn-every evil-and prohi6-
tied from entering a saloon and
participating in a base ball game
on Sunday. The opening of public
reading rooms is condemned and the
running of theaters and concert halls

Discussed by Doctors.

The value of Brown-Sequard's elixir
was one of the principal topics dis
cussed at the monthly meeting of the
Ramsey County Medioal society at the
Ryan last night. DR.. B rown-Sequard's
medicine is not in general use, bur quite
a number of st. Paul doctors have ex-
perimented with it. 1t has been found
beneficial in many cases. especially in
cases of muscular rheumatism. "Diph-
theria'' and The Treatment of Blenor-
rhOea in the New Born" were other
subjects discussed by the doctors last
night. About forty physicians attended
the meeting.

He Acquitted himself.

g. When the case against William Crom-
Anett was called for trial in the United
Estates district court yesterday the de-
PENDANTS attorney, James j. McCaffer-
sence. Mr.. CrOmmett, who was charged
with selling liquor to Indians, was
somewhat disappointed at the failure of
his attorney to put in all appearance,
but he concluded to make the best OF it
and try his own case. He made a good
lawyer and convinced the jury that he
was as innocent as a new born babe. A
verdict of acquittal was returned.

BoTn WE'RE ACCIDENTS.

\ very singular occurrence yesterday
amused the large crowd always to he
found Oh Sibley street at the approach
to the union depot. a man passed down
the street, carving boat book under
or across his arm. As he walked by
one of the fruit stands for which that
locality is noted, hackman across the
street emitted yell to a cOmrade that
caused the b0atman to turn around sud
denly. In so doing the boat hook
jabbed into fine apple, and when he
walked along he carried off the apple
in all innocence. The fruit dealer saw
his apple moving away, but did not see
the circumstance, and the next moment
the bOatman received a TeSOumdiug
thwack on the ear that brought cOrrus-
cation of stars before his vision. In as
tOniShed amaZement, he dropped his
pike. and the next moment there would
have been fight withoutrules, had not
several byStanders, who saw the whole
affair, interfered and explained. A
catastrophe was aYerted. and the apple
restored to its place among its red
checked fellows.

certain residence on Paterson Plank road has
led his friends to conclude that a wedding an
nouncement may soon be looked for.

A Physician on Low Shoes.

There has been an cutlery against
high-heeled slippers used by ladies
for years, but I think almost rs much
mischief is done by the low-cut and
high-buttoned shoes that have not
the high heels. They leave the bones
of the ankle loose and without sup
port. / would recommend the old
fashioned lace shoe, which fits snugly
around the ankle and holds the bones
and muscles compactly together at
that joint.
When patients come to me complain
ing of weak ankles, or injuries to the
ankle, ! at once enquire what sort OF
shoes they wear. In almost every
case | find they wear low-cut shoes or
button CATERS, and that they used to
wear lace shoes a few years ago. / at
once prescribe the old style lace shoe
for cases of this kind. 1t usually has
the desired effect without other treat
ment where the trouble was merely
weakness of the ankles.

local questions.
Three Months Old.

With today's issue, THE JERSEY
CRY NEWS completes its first three
months of existence. The occasion
brings sincere satisfaction to its pro-
prietors and editors, who look back
oyer the weeks that have elapsed with
something approaching wonder at the
results that have been achieved.
1t is no exaggeration to say that in
these three months, difficulties have
been overcome which other papers in
this State have contended with for
years, in vain, and progress has been
made in every direction such as other
papers after years of effort cannot
show.
A circulation has been built up for
this paper which is surpassed mar
rowly by that of the Eoening Journal
with its twenty-three years of earnest
plodding, and which no other paper in
the State, outside of Newark, can pre-
tend to rival.
An advertising patronage has been
secured which, practically, includes
every business house of first rate
calibre in this city, New York adj
vertisers, too, have awaited themselves
literally of the advantages which our
circulation and high standing offer
them.
A handsome trade in job, legal and
book printing has literally been forced
upon this establishment by apprecia-
tive friends. This was a branch of the
publishing business which was hardly
contemplated in the original plan of
our enterprise. But the work came
rolling in, and we were obliged to ac-
cept it, and make suitable arrange
ments for the execution of job con
tracts, so that in this class of work we
are now in a position to compete with
any of Jul rivals.
But besides these marks of material
success there are other signs of the i'm
preston the paper has made through
out the State which we value even
more highly. We believe the news
and the editorial expressions of the
JERSEY Cry NEWS are more copied
and quoted by conte mporaries than
those of any other paper in the State.
Our news is accepted with an absolute
confidence which is exceedingly pleas
ant to us, and the views Of the paper
on current topics are discussed with
that respect which the world is always
prepared to bestow upon honesty and
independence.
One of the most remarkable features
oS our business, has been the great sue
cess of THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
in its new shape. Since the founda-
ton of the daily paper, the circulation
has doubled in volume, and we be-
lieve 1t now has the largest circulation
in Hudson County. 1t has become, be
sides, the acknowledged leading organ
Of democratic opinion in the State.
Its own intrinsic attractiyeness is in
itself sufficient to account for this
growth; but doubtless its progress
would have been much slower without
the support and character which its
connection with the daily has given
it. On the other hand there can be
no reasonable doubt but it has con-
tributed largely to the success Of THE
