NOTES.

The Erie Railroad Company has an
nounced its intention to make the new.
town of Waldick. between Hohokus and
Allendale, the terminus of eight trains
intended for local and Paterson travel.
This company began another innovation
this week by issuing excursion tickets Co
Paterson from the different, stations east
and west. Hundreds of farmer families
in Bergen and Passaic counties look upon
Paterson as their metropolis and seldom,
If ever, make the Journey to New York.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
it is stated, will within a week break
ground for a new main station at Tren-
ton, to cost nearly $4,000. The site is
beside the present station, but facing
Clinton avenue. The general dimensions
will be ITO by Al feet. There will be two
stories above ground, of brick, with terra
Gotta trimmings, and a large basement
will be used for offices OF various kinds.
The interior will be handsomely finished
in chestnut and oak. 1t is expected that
the structure will be finished by Septem-
her 1.
The management of the Susquehanna
Railroad has hired one hundred laborers
who will be setrto work on the first OF
| April laying a second track from this city
to Dundee Lake. 1t is desired to have d
double track ready for use before the
spring trotting meeting of he Dundee
Lake track, SO that there shall be no
trouble or delay such as was experienced
| on the road last fall when the track was
poened.

..The -Paymaster.,,

"Ihe Paymaster.'
Duncan B. Harrison and excellent
company will present the beautiful
military comedy, '"The Paymaster,n
tat the Academy of Music, commenc-
ing Monday evening, March 81.
There is plenty of real water and
real wit in Mr.. Duncan b. Harrison's
military melodrama, THE Pay
master"
The tank represents the swiftly
flowing Inslavogue River in Ireland,
and is forty feet long, twenty feet
wide and nine feet deep. One of the
most thrilling situations in the piece
occurs in the fourth act, where the
heroine, who has become possessed of
knowledge which is dangerous to the
villain of the play, is thrown by him
into the chill and turbulent ave of
the swift running river, and there left
to perish.
1t is then that the hero, who, by the
way, is the paymaster, from whom the
play takes its title, plunges from a
height of fourteen or more feet into
the water, dives long and p~ersistently
in search OF the drowning maiden, and
at length appears with his wet bur-
den clinging about his neck.

William Rice, the widely known ship builder

oldest make in this country. The way he comes
to have it in his pocket instead of on his thumb,
where it properly belongs, is owing to the fact

weight framed in his thumb and reduced the un-
lucky member TO knife blade proportions, By
this accident Mr.. Rice enjoyed Cd a five minutes
vacation, two and a half minutes IN lifting the
block off his thumb and three minutes more in

Powdered MILK.

The idea of reducing cows milk to
q powder and shipping it in this con
dition all over the world seems to
have originated with DR.. Kruger, a
Swiss sayant, and under his manage
ment a company was organized to
make milk powder in Switzerland. 1t
is claimed that milk in this form is
much better than canned or con
densed milk; for one reason, it has n o
sugar in it.
1t is we'll known that condensed
milk cannot be used in many depart
ments of cooking on account of the
sugar, and this also makes it objec-
ionable for use with very young child
rem, not that the sugar itself is injuri-
GUS to the babies, for it is always put
into their milk, we believe, but it is
better that this sugar be put in fresh
{ the time of preparing milk for the
child. How far this powder milk will
answer these objections remains to be
seen.
One thing is certain, the powder
will be much better for transportation
and more handy to have in the house
than either plain or condensed milk,
provided it is a success. IL looks
somewhat dubious as q complete sub
stitute for plain milk, not only on ac-
count Of necessary expenses, but we
do not find any kind of food capable
of being thoroughly dried and after
ward made over with water so as to
closely resemble the original article,
and we never expect to see it done
with cows milk. Nature has a way
of mingling these things that thus far
man has not been able to closely imi-
tate.-Ameyican DGiaymon.

DOWNS WILL PERsPIRE,
Norton Will Bring an Action
Against Him.

Tom Downs, the genial be-whiskered
gentleman who seems continually to
fear that there is a Fifth ward alder
man in the city council, has ''put his
foot in it," and before he eXtricates his
pedal extremity he Will doubtless wish
that he had been born legless wonder.
Yesterday afternoon, when the council
was considering the matter of awarding
the contracts for city fuel, Downs
was in the thick of the fight.
He worked so energetically that
his blood became oyerheated. The fight
is not over yet, and that is what makes
Downs case more desperate. While
making one of his vicious Black Pearl
PUSHES upon John Norton, a bidder on
the contracts, the alderman went too
far, and got over into Norton's corner
near the ropes. He is there yet, and by
the time he tiets out he will probably
have received some vigorous punishment
in the region Of his chest infiater.
He referred to Norton (his words are
quoted in another column) in terms
which reflected seriously upon the lat
ter's business honesty and integrity.
For those words he will be called to &C
count in the district. court. Norton has
already taken steps toward bringing all
action for SANDER. AS Downs spoke
openly, unreservedly and emphatically,
it looks as if Norton had strong case.
Anyhow it will 20 into court.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Recurrence OF Recent Acct

Aldermanic Action to Prevent the
Recurrence Of Recent Acct
dents.
The death of little Willie Hahn, on
the First avenue south electric motor
was recalled by Aid. Hansen and MADE
the pretext for the introduction of res
Olution to prevent another such accident.
The resolution provided that when an
electric car Is approaching another car
which is either receiving or discharging
passengers, the first car shall stop at
least ten feet distant from the
car so receiving or discharging
passengers. Cal Goodrich crossed
the room and whispered to
Aid. BarrowS. who Immediately moved
to refer the resolution to the railroad
committee. That brought Aid. Hansen
to his feet, and he entered upon long
harangue, setting forth the evils of al
lowing the street railway company to
do just as it pleased. 1t was an impor
taDt matter and he wanted to see it set
tied. Potter thought its Importance a
very good reason why it should he re-
ferred and considered fully. Quite an
animated debate followed. most of the
aldermen, however, being in favor of
some such provision. The resolution
passed
Aid. McGowan then introduced reso-
luton, which was referred to the rail-
road committee, instructlng that COM
mittee to investigate the system of op-
Grating trains within the city limits,
safeguards for the protection of the
public, etc, and to report an ordinance
embodying the results of their investi-
cations. Aid. Hunter also took shy at
this speed question. He presented a
motion, which was adopted, instructing
operating trains in Minneapolis that
after Jan. the ordinance establishing
the maximum rate of speed at which
trains shall be run inside the city limits
will be enforced.
