New Jersey Real Estate.

The development of real estate
continues to occupy more attention
among investors in this State
than any other form of speculative
enterprise. There are no special
indications that it is being over
done, and if collapse should come
1t will be due to other causes, and
a revival would be simply matter
of time. The conditions are strik-
ingly different from those which
prevailed in 1873 The specula-
ton IN real estate then was reck-
less, and it was largely due to the
New York corporations which fur
nished the money. It was a1naz-
ing how reeklessly they loaned their
dollars on mortgages, or rather it
would have been amazing if it had
not been known that their rep
resentatives in New Jersey were
reaping great profits from their
easy financial policy. That was
the era of the second, third and
fourth mortgage, of unpaid taxes,
and OF 1 per cent. payments on
purchase. During the last two
years New Jersey real estate in
cities has been developed to an
enormous extent, but the loans
made are on first mortgage and
the purchasers are largely mem
bers of building and loan associa-
tiOnS.
The general prosperity of busi-
ness in the last few years has en-
abled men to acquire homes of
their own, and to live more COM
fortably, occupying entire houses.
But the increase in population has
been large also.
There are. varions kinds of
growth, and that of New Jersey in
the last decade has been such as to
add greatly to the wealth and to
increase the number of homes
New Jersey has been able to show
New Workers that they could get
houses, pay Communication, have
seats in the cars and be within an
hour of their Offices for fraction
of the cost for the same things in
New York and for less than Brook
lyn required
Although most of New Jersey
railroads have been far from
successful in graphing with the
quick transit problem, they have
given fair accommodations on the
whole, and are arranging for better,
and the business men appreciate it.
The shrewd observers of New
Jersey real estate transactions say
that the inactivity from 1873 to 1885
has not yet been made up by the
progress of the last FIVE or six years

New Jersey at the C. A. r.
EnCampment.

Colonel ]. R. Mullikin has issued
a circular relative to the twenty
fifth National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, to
be held at Detroit, beginning on
August 3rd. He calls attention to
the necessity of each comrade noti-
flying the Assistant Adjutant of
his intention to attend, and if not
already provided with quarters to
apply therefor through the head
quarters The railroads will
charge one full fare for the round
trip, half fare each way, with the
privilege of thirty days extension
of time on tickets. The head
quarters of the department at
Detroit will be established at the
house of the Alger Republican
Club, on Bagley avenue, which
has been secured by the depart
ment Commander for the exclusive
use Of the comrades from New
Jersey. The headquarters train
will leave New York via the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western
route on August and, at 7 AS p. M,
proceeding via Niagara Falls and
the Michigan Southern Railroad.

Have you a Boy?

The following quiet words from
the Business Chvonlele are recon-
mended to every father in town.
Paste in your hat and read occasion
ally. "Cater to your boy" says the
Chromele. "We mean your boy
the little fellow you left at home
this morning when you started for
store, or office. Don't forget he
has wants as real and tangible to
him as yours are to you. Remem-
Der he is no more a born saint than
you were. Don't forget him as
soon as his "Good-by, papa" fades
away behind you. Didn't he ask
you for somethlng-a jackknife, or
a hammer, or a new slate, or some
pencils. or something Or other? If
you love your boy and wish to show
him that you do, you might better
forget a business appointment
down town than forget his request.
If he asks you for something your
better judgment says he should not
have, don't be content with simply
ignoring the boys wish, but take
the time and trouble to explain
your reasons. Boys, even pretty
young ones, are quicker than you
may think to see point. Always
give a reason for refusal of his re-
quest, even if it is the one you too
often give--that you can't afford it,
And be careful how you give that
reason. If he has lost or broken
his jackknife and asks you for a
new one, don't scold him. Albeit
you may give him little lesson in
carefulness, but don't tell him you
can't afford to give him ten cents
for new one, and then before you
leave the house pull out your cigar
case and light a ten cent cigar.
The boy will be drawing invidious
distinctions before you know it.

The new Fashion Journals, LA Mode. y
.'La Mode de Paris" and album des
Modes, published by A. Mcdowell & Co,
4 West 18th Street, New York, are the
most elegant of their kind ever brought
to our notice. The styles are drawn by
the best artists and the books are pro-
duced by rival houses in Paris, each try
ing to excel the other in the character Of
its publications. Formerly they were
printed only in French but they are now
published in English for the use Of Amer
lean readers. These journals furnish the
styles one month in advance of any sim
liar publications; and they have a 1yac-
neal department, in which lessons are
given each month on how to make
dresses. etc. The admirable fashions.
the lessons in dressmaking. and the Civ

Christian Endeavor.

The growth Ssf the Christian
Endeavor Society is certainly I'M

organization, social or religious,
ever had such phenomenally
rapid and large growth of its mem
bership. Itwas begun in 1881, and
in that year two societies of Chris
tian Endeavor were organized, and
the total membership was 68. On
the first of January, 1891, the So
cieties organized numbered "a, ,o68.
and the total membership was, in
round numbers, $4,000. Its
national convention, just held at
Minneapolis, was attended by IS,
900 delegates. The society is evil

Will 1t Be Another Fake?

One of the sensational writer's of
the New York Woyld has been in
this city for the last two or three
days getting points for a highly
colored article which may be
foisted upon the gullible public
throughout the land almost any
time and bear all the appearance
of being a truthful statement 1t
will be remembered that female
attache of the W'0rld'S staff came
to Paterson about two years ago
and published column after col
umn of trashy stuff about the con-
dition of affairs in the silk mills
here and pictured the female opera
tives in most unjust light. If
the proposed article is to be a
repetition of Nell Nelson's lmagin-
ative gush the fake should be ex-
posed.-Paterson Meas

Pension Letters.

The new ruling of the post office
department in regard to the de-
livery of pension letters is of in
terest to large number of resi-
dents of this vicinity. 1t is very
explicit and directs that letters
addressed to a pensioner must not
be delivered to any person in
whose care it may be addressed,
and under no circumstances must
the letters of pensioners sent from
the pension office, or from any
United States pension agency be
delivered to any attorney. claim
agent, broker or any other person.
This is done to avoid if possible
the perpetration of fraud, which
has been frequent of late years in
the pension department.

Danced on the Courts
In the Lanterns Pale Light.
A Select and Pleasant Gathering at
the Tennis Lawn Party Terpsf-
chorean Attractions and Cream i'm
the Place of Nets. Racquets and
Balls.

Last Monday night the courts of
the Passaic Lawn Tennis Club
were beautifully illuminated and
dotted with all the attractions, fem
inine, masculine, and otherwise,
which go to make up successful
lawn party, and the proverbial
Jersey mosquito was CONSPICUOUS by
his absence. The sky was clouded
but the evening was cool and pleas
ant and the courts were in the best
of condition for dancing, having
been wet slightly by the recent
rains. The decorations were very
simple and tasteful. A long row
of Japanese lanterns extended
along the eastern side of the court
and two long rows along the north
ern end. The band, which was led
by Sidney Crooks, was underneath
a cluster of lanterns near the north
end. The house was used as la
dies cloak room, and was draped in
blue and white, the colors of the
club and Illuminated with lanterns
From the avenue the scene was
superb, about 800 lights being used
altogether. A small burgee had
been erected for the dancers to rest
i'll and chairs and lawn seats were
scattered all about The attend
ance is estimated at about 100.
The guests began to arrive about
$50. Soon half dozen sets were
in motion and dancing was kept up
continuously until 1880. Refresh
ments were served by young ladies
during the entire evening and were
of the most dainty order. After
the guests had all departeda a rain
fall took place which seemed to
have held off until the affair was
over. The costumes of the ladies
were generally simple and pretty.
Most of them were attired in white
but some were dressed in summer
costumes and many preferred
the club colors, blue and white.
The gentlemen mostly appeared
in tennis suits. Owing to the lack
of for1nalities complete list of
guests is not obtainable. A few at
tended from Rutherford and
Ridgewood. The following is
