ChOStSI

A serious question agitates the
Methodist congregation this week.
What, or who were the agents of
the spirrtualistic rappings, and
strange, subdued, unearthly groans
that disturbed the service of last
Sunday evening?
Various theories are rife to ex-
plain the occurrence; but none are
thus far satisfactory.
Some think part of the build
ing is haunted.
A few months ago, in the midst
of the solemn silence of commun-
ion service, without any apparent
cause, portion of the ceiling of
the Sunday-school room fell with
a crash. Since that time, these
rappings and groans have occasion
ally been detected, but never SO
plainly as last Sunday evening.

An Hospital Assured.

The Kirmes is over. All who saw
it will not be quick to forget it. The
receipts amount to handsome
sum, and too much praise cannot
be given the committee who under
took and successfully carried out
the laborious untaking. Those
who have labored for an hospital
in Passaic, the first suggestions in
regard to which appeared in the
RECORD upward of two years ago,
must have been agreeably sur,
prised when the announcement
was made that Mrs. Susan ].
Palmer had donated twenty city
lots on the heights at Lafayette
avenue and Grant street, valued
at ST., 900, as a site for the con-
templated hospital. It is said that
plans for the hospital are being
drawn and that work will be COM
menced this summer.

Notice of Removal.

Since the fire of December 3Ist
the RECORD office has been occupy
ing cramped but comfortable quar-
ters in the Howe Building.
With the removal of the Office of
the water company to their office
at 26o Main avenue we had ex-
pected to acquire the room which
they vacated, but owing to the
heavy machinery etc., of which a
printing outfit is composed, and
the fact that the building was not
built for our kind of business, we
have removed to the ground floor
of the building at the junction of
Bloomfield avenue Grove and Gar
den Streets, where we, will have
better light, more room and be
much easier of access. We shall
continue to fill orders for all kinds
of first class printing. Our busi-

The Ball of the Season.

All who are interested-and who
are not?-in the faithful employees
of Uncle Sam will be glad to learn
that the first grand entertainment
and ball of the Passaic letter carri-
ers, g1ven Wednesday evening at
the Opera House, was complete
success and proved to be the ball
of the season. The grand march
was one of the largest and prettiest
ever seen here. Over 1000 tickets
were sold, and had the night not
been stormy it would have been
difficult to accommodate the
throng which would have sought
admission. The '"boys in grey

Liquor Dealers Triumph.

Senator Edwards, the so called
Independent from the Chautauqua
district, but who usually voted with
the democrats on their important
political measures, couldn't stand
the infamous excise bill This is
what he said of it:
"a feeling of sadness over
whelms me to see men of kindly
impulses moving forward at the
command of 10000 liquor dealers
to pass bill which had its origin
in the bosom of Satan. 1t should
be entitled: An act to increase in
temperance, poverty and death.
We are asked to pass an act to
sharpen the knife of the assassin,
to debauch our sons and daughters,
to take the hard earnings of the
poor and to undermine the whole
structure of our society. / protest
most solennly against the passage
of this wicked measure.
But the senator's teary protest
did no good, and the bill was passed
by vote of II to IA, the democrats
all voting in the affirmative and
republicans in the negative. And
the Governor has let it become a
law because thus the democratic
party pays its debt to the liquor
dealers and earns. their continued
support in their votes and their

GARzA'S REVOLUTION.

The Garza revolution has broken out afresh.
The outlook is mora ssrious than during the

This is indicated by q telegram received
by DIR. Plutar Ornelias, Mexican Con-

Tamauiipas and reads:

TEACHER AND PUPIL.
How Parents may and should As
sist in the Education of their
Children.

Ch1l0ren.
Our public school teachers have
more annoyances to put MP with
than any other class of persons. But
what disturbs a faithful teacher
most is the carping criticism of par
ents who find fault with the teach
err because their children are not
promoted rapidly enough, or are
occasionally subjected to merited
discipline for something or other
which is the outcome of the child's
inherent stupidity, vivaciousness,
or general carelessness. There
are so many unthinking parents
who never realize the task assumed
by teacher and who never notice
faults in there own children, that
it is wonder any instructor SUR
wives the continued fault-fnding
that hedges them about.
The teacher is blamed for many
things which the parents could
prevent. In every school there
are children who go to school in fits
and starts. Having easy-going,
indulgent parents, they soon learn
how to overcome any prejudice
against their having day out
now and then, and they take full
advantage of it, and in a short time
they are tagging behind and fail to
be promoted with their class, after
which home criticism with all its
severity begins. Instead Of being
directed against the child it is di-
rected against the teacher whose
misfortune it is to have such child
rem in his or her care.
If the home training were better,
if instead of listening to every plea
made by the child in behalf of re-
naming out of school, the parents
would hold out against it and urge
upon them the Importance Of keep
ing abreast of other diligent schol-
ars i'll study, the results would be
much happier.
Parents need take unto them
selves great lessons in respect to
training their children. "As the
twig is bent, so the tree is inclined
A child who is allowed to do as it
p1eases at home, must ever be an
annoyance to the teacher at school.
A due regard for severe duties de-
volving upon the instructor
should be shown by those who rule
at the fireside, and if the sympathy
between parents and the teachers
be not mutual, the latter is bound
to come in for unjust criticism.
Parents ought to bear this fact in
mind. They should at all times
think of the many different dispo-
sitions over whom the instructor
presides, Of the constant demands
that are made upon her patience,
and aid her by doing all that is
possible at home toward the
amelioration of shiftless tenden-
cies and annoying characteristics.
Keep the children regularly at
school, encourage discipline, ap-
plaud progress, and the average
child will come out all right.

It will surprise some persons to
be told that one-fourth of the year
in this state is now a legal holiday;
but that is so. There are fifty two
Sundays, ffty-two half holidays
(Saturdays) and nine full holidays,

more! Many are urging that the

Messrs. Slade, Kendall and

How many women who fondly

As the 1st of May opens up a
vista of pleasant days for nearly
six months before November's
gray settles upon the earth, it is
encouraging to note the widespread
interest in sports and out-of door
amusements. Taking ones exer-
else by proxy is all very well as
far as mental entertainment goes,
but there is nothing like personal
participation if one wishes to get
the actual benefit. What with
bicycles everywhere, tennis, cricket
and baseball becoming more and
more popular, with croquet even
revived and walking fashionable,
no one who takes open-air exercise
can possibly be lonely. It is one
of the features of the day, and is
more than fad or fashion-an
actual reform in manners and
methods of life.
