The Paterson Board of Trade sent a memorial
to Congress with a proposed bill asking for an
increase OF the present appropriation for a Post
Office building in Paterson from 5000 to $780,
600. Senator Mcpherson has written to William
Nelson, chairman of the Boards special commit
tee, saying that he will introduce the bill, but
adding that he doubts if the increase can be OBJ
tanned.
Work was begun yesterday on a new electric
street railway, which will run from Garfield,
through Passaic to Clifton, AMI thence to
Clifton race track. Passaic people control the
stock, and it is said that their ultirSate aim is
to run an electric road along the Passaic river
from Newark, through Believlle, Avondale,
Delawanna, Passaic and Clifton to Paterson,
with branches to HackensacK, Garfield. Lodi and

THE THIEsENs CONCERT.
Delightful Entertainment for the Green
willie Folks Last Night.

Delightful Entertainment for the Green
VILE Folks Last Night.
Last evening was ''Thiesens" night in
Greenville, and all who were fortunate
enough to secure tickets crowded into
Bamber Hall, on Linden avenue, to enjoy
the second annual concert of the popular
Greenville orchestra. Critics pronounced
it the finest concert ever held in Green
vile.
Mr.. William Outwater, president of the
orchestra, presided at the piano during
the evening. He is one of the most ac-
complished pianists in New Jersey.
The programme opened with a march,
Volunteer" by the orchestra, followed
by a cornet solo, s'Serenade, +" by Mr.. NJ.
B.. Radcliffe. Mr.. Radcliffe showed won
derful power and skill in his playing and
he was heartily encored. Mr.. Reub Fax,
the celebrated humorist from the Madison
Square Theatre, recited "The French
man." and his oddity of expression and
perfect delivery c~aptivated the house.
Several original and exceedingly humor-
GUS sketches were drawn from him by re-
peated encores.
Again the strains Of the twenty-eight
musical instruments of the orchestra fill
ed the hall, and the beautiful sweet music
thrilled the heart of all present.
A soprano solo by Miss Josie Seebach,
entitled ''Ah, Love Me-" was beautifully
rendered. Miss Emma Florence Weaver,
the talented vioIinist of this city. was ac-
corded a rich reception. Among her selec-
lions were Chandeliers" and "Perpetua
Mobile" The orchestra concluded the
first part of the programme with a
brilliant selection.
Part II. opened with a humorous lee
ture entitled Important Subject" by
Reub Fax, who vas compelled to respond
to five consecutive encores Such a re-
ception has rarely been accorded at a
Greenville concert Mr.. James Court
followed with d either solo. 1.-The Old
Oaken Bucket was the selection played
and at request as an encore he rendered
with artistic skill Down Went Nc
Ginty." The building shook with the ap-
plause. An overture, "Califde Bagdad,''
was played by the orchestra, after which
the voice of Miss Seebach again de-
lighted the audience. Selections from
.'The Bridal Rose'5 by the orchestra
were followed by a violin solo, "Adagio
from Senate WILL" by Miss Weaver, and
the young lady was encored several
times, on each occasion making a richer
and deeper impression on the criticising
audience. A galop by the orchestra con-
cluded the programme.
The orchestra has just commenced its
third year of existence, aud time will I'M
doubtedly place it among the leading
amateur musical organizations in this
country.

Mayor Cleveland Dodges.

Mayor Cleveland was interviewed
by a Herald reporter yesterday, it APP
pears, and indeed the report which is
published in that paper this morning
bears all the stamp of genuineness.
It is plausible. 1t might impose on a
careless reader. 1t is ingenious both
in its representations and evasions.
To one who knows the situation
and the Mayor-however, it is chiefly
amusing. His Honor has remarkable
skill in talking alongside of a subject
without ever touching it. He has
great ability in setting up images of
straw and knocking them down, while
he lodges the real issues OF the hour.
He slyly gets up a quarrel with Mr..
Joseph Warren over a paltry matter
of street cleaning, while he lets the
real charges against his administra-
tion lapse into the background.
Now at the present time nobody
cares a red cent about the snow that
fell last year or the money that was
wasted under pretence of clearing it
away. Mr.. Warren merely mentioned it
incidentally as an instance of jobbery.
The real matters on which Mr.. Cleve-
land was called on to speak were the
charges of official crookedness and
legislative dickering by himself and
the officials ef his choosing under the
New Charter. What had Mr.. Cleve-
land to say about these things? Not
a word!

while the streets remain unpaveds

which will begin in the NeD1 York
Ledger of March 1. The story holds
the mirror up to club life in the me-
tropolis, and touches lightly but with
the mastery and suggestive stroke OF
the etching hand, some OF the more
distinctive sides OF New York society
life. Several OF the characters are so
startlingly typical that they may be
taken for any one of scores of the
members OF the -Four Hundreds

ness, ready Ingenuity and audacity,
a youth with a rare amount of phos-
phorus ia his cerebral gray matter
and an equally generous amount of

acter which the author has elaborated
with sympathetic interest. The author
is Frank Howard Howe, son OF the

Lace, Real and Otherwise.
You hear very much about the
priceless laces used on women's dresses,
and of the magnificence of this deli
cate fabric that is placed on alleged
splendid trousseaux. About the SPLEEN
dor of the other material ] cannot say,
but about the value of the laces | can
assert that there is much of the fairy
story about it. The best known lace
buyer in this town, who has had
charge Of the lace department for
years in N of the largest dry goods
houses, told me the other day that
they had not yard of real lace in
their whole store. This seems a sweep
ing assertion, but it is nevertheless a
true one. The particular firm for
which he bought lost $f2, 900 a year
or SO ago in buying real lace, which
had absolutely no sale inthis city, and
for this reason, they resolved not to
buy any in the future. No one misses
it, as there is no call for the genuine
article whatever. Like real diamonds,
real lace is seldom seen on any one,
but it is particularly so in the latter
case.-M. Louis Globe Democrat.

How she Takes Your Arm.

You can tell pretty we'll how a girl

your arm. If she doesn't care a cent
you know it by the Indifference of her

that mode of expression as in words
or looks. A can take the arm
of d fellow she likes very much with!

ABOUT JUDGE WELLS.

The White Pine Ne,os and the Reno
Journal have been exercising themselves
about the validity of the official acts OF
Judge Wells. Not content with their
own confusion of ideas on the subject
they have been consulting "the best
legal authority in the state" and the re-
suit is confusion worse confounded. The
official acts Of de .facto officer are
valid. This has never been disputed by
any legal authority. The Hon. Thos. Fl.
Wells is a de facto Judge;-nobody
will dispute that. Therefore his off.
cial acts as such are valid.
The above is simple, brief, and plain,
and may therefore be Objectionable to
some who affect to think that nothing
straight forward and honest can be strict
ly legal. They are the gentlemen who
prove beyond question that two apd two
do not make four; that water runs up
hill of its own accord; or that, generally
speaking. "whatever is, is wrong. :"
They succeed in eliciting the admiration
of fools, the yawp of the empty.headed
is song of praise to them;-yet notwith.
standing their crushing criticisms the
world goes right along without bobble
and the price of silver continues to
rise.

HOW TO TRIM A LAMP WICK.


If lamp wick is trimmed by shears
cutting it across just below the charrel
part, one end will almost certainly be lef
higher than the other. In such cas-
the wick cannot be turned up enough t.
give much light, because the higher enc
of it will begin to smoke before the re
mainder of it gives out one quarter OF tn,
light which it should. Ii the wick is cut
straight across the fame viii be irregular
This kind of flame is caused by Unequal
| tiles of combustion at the sides and enc
of the wick. To cut a wick exactly
square across is almost impossible, even
il it were best; and flame with low cen
ter and tall, haring, smoky horn on each
end is bad fame. 1t is bad for the
lamp chimneys and for the eyes. Nc
lamp which has such flame is properly
| trimmed. II one tries to avoid the hor.
ned fame by rounding off the ends OF
the wick, an imperfect fame will result.
This flame may not crack chimneys, but
it will not give out light. 1t shows an
Qonest attempt to trim the lamp properly
but an unsuccessful one. To secure a
good flame, the lamptrimmer should be
instructed to turn the wick up until
about one.eight of an inch projects above
the brass sheath. Next, let him take off
the charred portion. Let this be done
with the forefinger and thumb.
Cutting with shears, besides the mis-
chiefs already set forth, will take off
more than is necessary. Rubbing off the
charred portion with the back of a knife,
or blunt edge of any kind, will generally
leave fibers. which will cause an uneven
light. With the finger and thumb just
enough can be taken off, and taken off
smoothly. All that will not easily break
of is good, sound wick. no matter how
black it may be. After pinching off the
burned portion of the wick, take just as
little off the corners of it as sharp pair
of shears will take hold of and cut.
There-is always more danger that too
much will be taken off than too little.
But if just the right quantity is removed,
and the cuts on the corners are made at
the same angle, the lamps will give out
broad, white flame. To trim new
wick, turn the wick down until the loose
and unraveled end projects from the
brass sheath, and light it before the oil
fills it. 1t will quicklp burn down te
the sheath, leaving straight edge, and
can then be trimmed as directed above
| The end can as we'll be burned down tt
the sheath before the wick if put into
the oil.-Scientific Press.

A JUMPING BEAN.
The Strange and Hidden Force That
Lies Behind lt...Carson Gravely Ex-
ercisetl.

Carson Appeal: An Appeal reporter
was shown peculiar bean in the Airing
ton House lobby" last night that would
surprise many white men and completely
drive an Indians brain through the top
of his hat. 1t was about the size of
large pea, and of dirt color on one side
with light green formation on the
other, in the center of which was brown
spot, showing that it had been broken
off of similar formation.
The popularity is this: When placed
in the palm of either hand it begins to
struggle and roll, as if prompted to get
off, and finally begins to jump until it
succeeds in doing so.
When taken between the thumb and
fore6nger perceptive throbbing can be
felt inside, and it can even be heard
when placed close to the ear.
1t operates in the hands Of some people
better than in others, but if given a
moment or two it will work for any one.
1t was in the possession of Harry
Haight, commercial tourist from San
Francisco, who claims that it gets on a
regular tear if placed on the hand of a
drinking man. As test it was tried on
"well.known and respected citizen
happening along at that time, and the
! moment it struck his hand there was 0
slight tremor from east to wet, as if il
was gathering its energies. All OF Q
sudden it gave flip and landed by the
Chinese laundary across the street.
1t is known as the Mexican jumping
bean. and the strange motive power can
not be accounted for.
