Sixty years last Thursday, a railway
train was propelled in this State for the
first time by the power of steam. The
anniversary OF this achievement was cele.
brated with appropriate ceremonies at
Bordentown on the 18th, by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, which at that
time dedicated monument erected to mark
the first piece of track laid between New
York city and Philadelphia. Both were
comparatively small cities at that time,
New York being, then as now, the me-
tropols, with population of 202, $50, and
Philadelphia second with 80, 45S persons.
The year 1881, was marked by great
increase in railroad construction. Stephen
sons "Rocket" had electrified the world
by its wonderful achievement in 1880,
aud the men of brains and capital in this
country were not slow to grasp and apply
the new idea. The Stephenson locomo-
tive was not the first to make use of steam
in propulsion over iron tracks, but il was
the first to accomplish anything in the
way of providing its own steam, aud to
draw load of passengers at an excellent
speed. In that year, and as result of
the success of Stephenson's efforts, twen-
ty three miles of railroad were in oper-
alton, in this country, and in the follow
ing year seventy two miles were added.
To-day the railway mileage of the United
States is over 1901 900. 1t is not neces-
sary to describe the marvellous growth of
the railroad, and the position it occupies
as a factor in modern life. The Newark
advertiser says that there are men living
to-day who remember when the events
which will be celebrated at Bordentown
to day were mere experiments in the de-
velopment of an institution which is to.
day tho wonder of the Nineteenth century.
1t is to the credit of this State that one of
the first railroad charters granted In this
country was conferred by the State of
New Jersey for the erection of a railroad
within its borders.

Byram where case of small pox exists,
left before daylight yesterday morning

to take the train. They then walked to
this city and entered the ladies' room of
the station, intending to take the 2;l0 P.

ed out by person who lived at Byram

trip down the railro DAD on foot and how

City Charities.

City Charities.
Few people who have not personally in
vestigated the matter, realize the great
need OF charitable and mission work in
certain portions of our city.
A quiet but efficient effort has been
made for some time past-no nobler work
existing in which our young men and la
dies can engage.
But on the approach of Winter, greater
demands arise for pecuniary means. To
assist in meeting this want, some of the
best talent of our city have kindly volun-
teered to assist In an entertainment to be
given in Lyceum Hall, Wednesday even
ing, December I'd. Let all help in this
practical home charity.

A Woman's Confusion.

A woman living up in Harlem was telling the
New York Commercial the other day how she
took an innocent part in the playing of a clever
dodge by bold and successful swindler.
The woman in question occupies q large house
and rents rooms to men only To her recently
came preposseSsng looking youth of good
address, desiring to look at the second floor hall
bedroom If it was vacant. The room was vacant,
and an examination proved to be satisfactory
Il Will take it for a week, sold the young
man. Il want TO go and get some of my things.
will be back in half an hour and pay you for
the room on taking possession"
The young man departed and not long after
came back with a comfortable bundle under his
arm and accompanied by another young fellow,
to whom he said:
Just sit down here in the parlor while l 90
upstairs; I'll be down in a minute"
Youth No l goes upstairs. Youth No. 9
settles himself in the parlor and waits. Pres
emily the lady of the house enters and learns
that her new roomer" is upstairs and will be
down directly. The upstairs maa does not
descend, however, and the waiting youth SAYS
carelessly: well, suppose you might as well
pay this bill now as any time"
"Billl What bill?n

''Bnt, good gracious, haven't any son. -

A Fine Field for DR.. Nelsnn

There is no doubt that Dr. Nelson will be
confirmed as bishop of Georgia. There is
no reason why he should not be. In q very
little while. therefore, he will be in cha rye
of the diocese.
He will be given very hearty welcome.
The people of his church will take him to
their homes and their hearts and make him
feel that he is among friends. He can
never forget, Of course, those who have
made his life so pleasant where he is now
living, but those to whom he comes will
take care that he does not regret having left
his parish at the north for wider field of
labor at the south.
And Georgia is big missionary field in
which there is a vast amount of work for
an Episcopal bishop. There is plenty of
room for building up the Episcopal church.
Except in the larger cities it has compara-
lively few members. But there is no reason
why it should not have a great many more,
Dr. Nelson is young, strong and
earnest. and will enter into his
work with a great deal of enthusI-
asm He will naturally be ambitious
to see the church grow, and if he has all
the encouragement and assistance that can
be given him it will grow. He has splendid
opportunity for doing a great work.
The south is full of the spirit of energy
and enterprise, and by putting himself in
harmony with it he can achieve surprising
results in building up his church.

The morning news., 1891-11-21

In a Fitcbburg police court Judge Charles
s. Hayden recently sustained an indictment
in the case of the commonwealth against
one Xavier Ponten who was charged with
not having given his child sufficient school,
ing under the demand and de5pition of the
Massachusetts public school statute Incl
dental to this question is one which decides
the status Of parochial aud other private
schools of the state and defines the authority
of school committees in regard to them.
Judge Hayden carefully reviews the law
and the evidence in his decision and finds
that in attending the parochial school the
child did not acquire the branches OF learn
lug required by law to be taught in the pub
lie schools. Yet with the exception of about
six weeks time the caild's physical or men
tai condition was not such as to render the
required attendance inexpedeat or imprac-
ticable. Therefore the defendant was foun
guilty and ordered to pay to the treasurer
for the use Of the public schools of the city
the sum Of $40. There were three cases and
oil were appealed. This is matter of some
public importance and will doubtless be fol-
lowed with no little general interest until it
| reaches a final settlement
