tated to its end. In their place has
arrived the festive oyster whose
proper manipulation is thus de-
scribed:
Don't drown him deep in vinegar,
Or season him at all;
Don't cover up his shining form,
With pepper in pail.
But gently lift him from the shell
And firmly hold your BREATH
Then with your eager tongue and teeth,
Just tickle him to death.
The young ideas have conmenc-
ed another season of cultivation in
our public schools. Some of them
are inherently mischievous and
provoke their teacher into an oc-
casional assault upon the naughty
ones ears. But State Superintend-
ent of Schools Chapman says that
a teacher has no right to whip a
scholar and one who does so is
liable for assault and battery, as
the law prohibits corporal punish
ment, eventhough the parents give
their consent, which they have no
right to do.
Notwithstanding the popular
sentiment expressed at the mon
ster demonstration in favor of
early closing held at Apollo Hall
in Paterson on August 7th, the
clothing merchants. with one e.x-
ception, keep their stores open un-
til long after seven o'clock in the
evening, many of them refusing to
close until even nine o'clock.
The only firm to close promptly
at the hour agreed upon, is that of
Marshall & Ball, the pioneer of
early closing in Paterson, and
they have never kept open after
that time except on Saturdays or
nights preceding holidays, since
the system went into effect.

Where it is a Sweet and Well
come Sound.

Did you ever, when you were in
a quiet and lonely spot, listen to
the painting of a locomotive as it
drags its train behind it through
the darkness? And do you know
that to the solitary man on the
broad plains out West that is the
sweetest music in the world? To
the lonely horseman following his
deserted path or to the single cow
boy who rides in an endless circle
around silent herd the heaving of
the engines chest is always well
come. Where there is no sound
to stir the air, no breath of wind,
it comes from afar on the plain to
his straining ear. He follows it as
it comes on, hears the smothered
gasps become clearer, notes them
as they change to quick painting,
watches every spark of the stream
of fire which leaps up into the black
ness and comes down in splendid
shower. Then he takes a melan-
choly pleasurein following the train
as it speeds away from him. There
are lights in the windows and
people behind them, and although
the strangers give him no word OF
greeting they carry little of cheer
to him, and for a few moments
drive off that loneliness which on
long dark nights becomes hideous
in its somberness

A Narrow Escape.

John Cole of Van Wrinkle ave-
nue. left his horse and wagon, on
the seat of which were two little
children, standing united in front
of J. S. Biddell's paint store We'd
nesday afternoon. The horse be-
came frightened and ran up Main
avenue to the Jefferson street
crossing. A train was approach
ing and the gates were being low
cred, but the horse dashed across,
dragging the swaying wagon after,
and came near smashing it against
a telegraph pole, just as the train
thundered by. The screams of
the children, who fortunately held
on to the seat, attracted attention,
and expressman George Lemley
headed the horse off in front of
Kehoe's stables on Lexington ave-
nue., and stopped it. Mr.. Albert
Totten, with his horse and buggy,
had narrow escape from being
run into.
The little tots were pale and
trembling with fright, and it GER
tainly was miraculous that they
escaped injury and death. Mr..
Jacob Price of San Diego, Cal,
who in company with the publish
er of the RECORD witnessed the
runaway, administered a much
deserved reprimand to the driver
when he made his appearance)
for his carelessness in leaving the
horse united

The general superintendent, who has
the plans before him at his office, No.

head in management and knows how to
deal satisfactorily with the army of

the value of the competition for the

Webb, james C. Gould, Theodore Voorhis
and G. Il. Daniels, the Division Superinten-
dent of the road. This time of seven hours
and twenty minutes includes stops. The first
was at Albany, where engines were changed
and two minutes lost At Syracuse three
minutes more were consumed in another
change The most serious delay occurred at
Fairport, a town about ten miles east of
Rochester, where the train was stopped
nine minutes by hot journal.
Word was sent from Fairport TO Roches-
ter to have another engine in readiness to
take them to Buffalo. This was not needed,
and the train dashed through the Central
Station in that city without stop and rum
hing at the rate of mile a minute or over.
This was at LAC P. n. From that point to
Buffalo therun was made without incident
in sixty-seven minutes, distance of sixty
nine miles. Conductor Rockwell had the
special in charge The fastest mile was

The details OF horrible murder commit
ted by two boys, each of them about eight
years of age, have just come to light in Liv-
erpool. England The two lads. named re-
spectively Crawford and Sharon, were ar

scramble out, Crawford and sharon pusneo
him in again: then Crawford went down on
