Pass those Fire Ordinances.

The facts given in THE JERSEY
CRY NEWS yesterday, are sufficient
in themselves to prove the urgent
need of fire escape ordinance in this
city. They showed that. with one or
two exceptions among the fat-houses,
the tall buildings which are now
growing so numerous, are in fright
full state in case a conflagration
sh ould occur. The hotels and office
buildings are in especially bad shape,
and one or two of them are unpro-
tected to positively criminal de-
gree.
b A five story Office building. con-
tanning two hundred offices on floors
ranging from fifteen to fifty feet
above the sidewalk, sheltering thou
sand people daily, of whom the ma :
jority are on the upper floors. and
yet unprovided with any means of
exit save interior wooden staircases,
is an outrage on law and civilization.
If the owners of such a build
ing are SO reckless as to neglect
all provision for the safety
of their tenants. If the tenants are so
Indifferent as not to insist on proper
provision being made for their safety,
then it only remains for the law to
step in and insist that the building be
made safe.
1t is to be hoped that that Demo-
cratic ordinance will be ready at the
very first meeting of the Board of
Alderman, and will be at once put on
its way to a speedy passage.

The Mans Woman.

1t goes without saying that a
'man's woman" is generally bright,
CHEEKY, attractive, and something
that passes for being pretty. The
man himself couldn't, for the life OF
him, tell Just what it was. The whole
thing is balanced with common
sense. Being attractive she is most
essentially feminine. To be
thoroughly feminine she is we'll
dressed. And well dressed is not
silk, satin or velvet. 1t is something
"a cotton or wool or anything
which fits we'll and has a dash of chic
individuality about it.
She never comes in and asks for
work to do as IL she expected to be re-
fused. She comes in with the dignity
and smile of a woman who is conscious
of her power to accomplish something
and her manner gives an impression
which is confirmed afterward by her
willingness, pluck and perseverance.
while her manner in asking for work
does not suggest that she is asking a
favor, afterward she never forgets
that it was a kindness to take her at
her own valuation, and her aim IS not
to disappoint those who have believed

TELL THE TRUTH THOUGH THE
HEAVENS FALL"

EDITOR BAzoo: In your weekly
issue of March 10th, there appears
under the head of ''Odd Affairs and
Characters of Early American His
tory" biography of Thomss Paine,
which, according to reason, is next to
an impossibility, if not wholly so. In
justice to the god of truth and the
helpless dead, let US take the two
characters separate and see if it is
possible for them both to be given
truthfully TO the same person:
Thomas Paine the arch American
infdel, was a patriot in the truest
sense of the word, and did more than
almost any other man to make the
Revolution a success. In so high re-
gard were his services held that to-
ward the middle of the year 1884 q
bill was introduced in the Virginia
house OF deputies to award his patriot.
ism and public work by a grant of
land, known as Secretsry's land, on
the eastern shore, equal to about
$40, 600. The bill was known to have
the support of Washington and was
warmly supported by Madison. but
the measure failed after repeated e.
forts to have it passed. This man
(Paine) accomplished a work as i'm
portant and as necessary to the sue
cess of the Revolution as any of the
victories won by Washington or
Gates. Paine was by birth sn Eng
lishmau, and author Of the famous
lines These are the times that try
mems souls.
The above are facts taken from
history which gives Paine one charac-
ter, and following these words is an
other story which makes his cbarac-
ter entirely different and is as fol-
lows:
"Of all the human kind, Paine
was the flfthiest and nastiest, and his
disgusting habits grew upon him with
years. In his old age he became
a sight to behold. 1t was rare that
he was sober, rarer that he washed
himself, and he suffered his nails to
grow until, In the language of one
who knew him well, "They resembled
the claws of birds. What gratitude
was, he didn't know and he had nc
regard for his word"
In the name of common sense how
could two such characters be given tc
the same individual /?
How is it possible that such man
as the latter character ever could
command the respect of Washington
and Madison and the House of Depu
ties of Virginia. The:writer can con
ceive of but two answers. One is the
Devil was once an angel, the other il
that prejudice has no bounds.

A SPREG OF SHAMROCK.

man of the city democratic central
committee, received a very bright
and interesting letter from his twelve
year old niece, Miss Harriet Kelley,
who resides in a village called Balm
gslOugh, County Csrrouh, Ireland.
The little girl informed her "dear
uncle" that bic mother, who is eighty
eight years old, is quite feeble. and
not expected to live much longer. She
also enclosed a sprig of shamrock for
her uncle to wear on ST Patrick's day.
She wrote, in her quaint; childish way:
81 wish [ had some green ribbon to
send TO my fond cousins to wear on
st. Patrick's Day, but the town is
small, and could not get any," Miss
Harriet is evidently a patriot of the
pure kind.
Mr.. Hurley says that the legend OF
how the shamrock became the national
emblem of Ireland is, that, when the
good St. Patrick was preaching in that
country, somewhere about the fourth
century, he wished to illustrate the
mystery of the holy trinity. Reach
ing down, he picked up spray Of
shamrock having three leaves on one
stem and made plain to all the ides
of the Godhead.

THE REVIVAL.


The second week of the meetings
closed Friday night and still there is
no abatement of interest or CONVEX
sions and the evangelist is still as
fresh as June rose.
The audiences seems more eager to-
give their testimonies than ever aud
take much comfort in doing it.
After half hour of praise service
led by Mr.. Fellows, the story of the
man let through the roof of the
house In front of Christ to be healed,
was told by the evangelist.
Then was sung that ever impress
sive hymn ETERNITY" and the pray
that followed made the song ten told
more solemn.
The subject was, Chow to have
your sins forgiven" Psalm 32.1,
BLESSED is be whose transgressions
are forgiven aud whose sins are COW
ered."
This is an important subject as no
one can be happy whose sins
are not forgiven. The sinner can be
happy only in forgetting the truth,
but the christian is happy in knowing
the truth. 1t does not say, BLESSED

negro slaves But, to seize upon
these, run them off and again sell
them into slavery. soon became so
common a crime that few men de-
termined to put stop to it. A score
of gentlemen, therefore, gathered five
DAYS before the battle of Lexington,
in the old Sun Tavern at Philadel-
phia. There they framed a constitu-
ton and organized a body which they
named "The society for the relief of
free negroes uhlawfully held in bon
dage." Four meetings were held. Ere
the fifth came, the war opened, and,
during nine years. The society did no.
thing. At last, in 1884, the men,
bers once more assembled, and began
long career of activity and useful
ness. The cause of the negro for a
time was popular. The Methodis's
took it up and babe every member of
the society, where the law would per-
nit, emancipate his slaves within a
twelvemonth. Before a decade bad
gone by, abolition societies sprang up
in Rhode Island, in Connecticut, in
New Jersey at New York, at BaIti-
more. in Virginia, at Washington, in
Pennsylvania, and even on Mary
lands eastern shore. New Hamp-
sire became free; Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Connecticut pro-
vided for gradual abolition; Virginia
and Maryland revised their enamel.
patton statutes, and Congress passed
the ordinance of 1887 'forbidding
slavery ever to exist in the territory
of the United States northwest of the
Ohio river.
The first Sunday school out OF
New Englind, of which any record
has come down to US, was that kept
by the Pennsylvania Dunkers at Eph-
rata. 1t began in 1740, and ended in
1777, when the battle of Brandywine
turned the school-house into a hos
pital for wounded troops. That OF
Francis Asbury, in Hanover county,
Virginia, came next; but the sect OF
which he wss the great bishop, took
no action in Its behalf for seven years.
At last, in 1890, the Methodist Con.
ference decided to open schools on the
Sabbath for the benefit of the children
of the poor. Three months later a
convention of universities met al
Philadelphia, and recommended each
church to establish one wherein on
Sunday children should be taught to
read, write, cipher. and sing psalms,
DR.. Benjamin Rush became interested
in the enterprise and went for advice
to Bishop White, of the Episcopal
church, and to Mathew Carey, the
printer, and the most influential of all
the Catholics then living in the city.
They liked his plan. A general meet
ing of citizens was called. and in Jan

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD.

The Attorney General has rendered
a very important decision in regard tc
the duties of Sheriffs in the matter Of
tax executions. The decision holds
that it is the duty of the Sheriff when a
tax execution is placed in his hands by
the County Treasurer Immediately to
make levy on the property of the de-
faulting taxpayer and take possession
of the property before he advertises it.
To take the personal property first, but
if there is not enough of that to pay
the tax and all penalties to levy on the
land, and not only that, but in order to
do this the Sheriff must eject the oc-
cupant, and all this must be done be-
fore advertising.
This decision is something out of the
usual course pursued heretofore and
may be good law, but we never heard
of a Sheriff ejecting the occupant Of
land to be sold under execution until
after the sale and then only to put in
possession the lawful owner. But
this is strange year and it may all be
right. At any rate if these instructions
are followed out the Sheriffs will have
some lively times before they are
through.

There is no mistaking Ex-President
Cleveland's position on the free ccin-
age of silver as now proposed by bill
pending in Congress. There seems to
be large sentiment in the South and
West in favor of free coinage, and also
there is strong sentiment in the
Democratic party in favor of this
scheme. Now we denctt know enough
about this big question Of money to
discuss it and, will not undertake it at
any length. 1t does seem, however,
that it is not the proper thing to do to
take eighty cents worth of silver and
call it one hundred cents and make it
legal to offer it in exchange for one
hundred cents worth of gold, and not
only that, but to force man who has
one hundred cents in gold to give it
in exchange for eighty cents in silver.
Why not put one hundred cents worth
of silver in a dollar and call it one
dollar.
But whatever may be our views on
silver we cannot help but admire the
manly position of Mr.. Cleveland. He
has his convictions and the courage to
maintain them whether they are popu'
lar or not, and wherever we find such
a man we are forced to admire him.
Mr.. Cleveland's position on the tariff
in 1855 defeated him for the presidency
and no doubt his position Oh the silver
question will lose him nominal -,
for the presidency in 1892
