PAULUS HOOK HEAT.
One of the most efficient policemen on
the force is Enoch RIcherich, who for 80
many years has been stationed at the
foot Of Exchange place This is one of
the most important posts in the city, and
Is only assigned TO policemen who, by
their skill and intelligence, have demon
strated their ability to fill positions of
trust. The fact that Enoch has patrolled
this post so long is high tribute to his
worth and discretion.
Louis Louten, the Washington street
barber, has shaved more prominent
Jerseymen perhaps than any other barber
in the city. For almost quarter of a
century Louis has scraped illustrIous
chins, and almost all of the pioneer Jersey
cityites have submitted their heads and
faces TO his skillful and refreshing mani
puiation. He was for many years
in The old Darcy Building. which
at one time formed the greater part Of the
present Fuller Building, and while there
numbered among his patrons most of tn g
leading business and professional men of
that portion OF the city. Louis is full of
"reminiscences OF these early residents Of
the city, and talk with him on the sub
ject is bound to be interesting.
sDickn Tideman, who so ably assists
Otto compounding soothing and seductive
beverages at Albers, is sad at heart His
pleasantly greets Mr.. Albers' patrons, for
the other side of the rosewood bud hides
the canker worm which is slowly knaW-
ing at his heart This canker aforesaid is
the old worm of disappointed ambition.
Dick wants to raise mustache, but not
withstanding all his efforts in that direc-
Jlon his upper lip remains as innocent of
hair as that of an unborn babe. Dick has
the sympathy of all his friends, and there
is movement on foot TO present him With
patent mustache waxer.
The. tendency of his flesh to increase in
avoirdupois is worrying Police Commits
sioner Kelly. The Commissioner Went to
the Catskills a few days ago for recrea-
ton. The morning after his arrival he
was converSing with new acquaintance
on the piazza Of the hotel at which he was
stopping. My weight" said the Com
missioner's new acquaintance. has in
creased twenty-five pounds since / struck
this resort two weeks ago." You don't

trifie worried. The Commissioner took
the next train for Jersey City.
The great iron trestle for the Pennsyl-
vania'S elevated tracks is creeping down
from the Hill in manner that causes the
eyes of the average onlooker to bulge
with wonder. With the tall wooden piece
of framework. in which is lodged an
engine and the hoisting machinery of the
men who are laying the tracks as the iron
structure is reared, cleaning with Ian
terms at night, it reminds one of some
hydra-headed or hooded monster crawl
ing its mammoth length to the sea. The
Newark avenue crossing has been
reached.
Police Captain Farrier believes in the
eternal fitness of things, and the captain
has linked inseparably TO his nature

long summer days. Even the unsiRhtly
old iron safe which has remained tilted
against the outer wall of the building
since its removal from the old Police
Headquarters, has been converted into
novel adornment. The captain sodded
the yard during the spring and planted
flowers therein; bnt ex-Police Commits
sioner Buckley's billy goat made a raid
on the flowers. The captain, after order
ing the x-Commissioner to keep his goat
at home, painted the old safe green and
transplanted the flowers to the top of the
safe. They now bloom in rich profusion,
out of the reach OF goats, directly beneath
the window aud they scent the captains
Office with their delightful fragrance.
