Notice Of Removal.

Since the fire of December 31st
the RECORD office has been occupy
ing cramped but comfortable quar-
tiers 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 will vacate, 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-
ness friends are invited to give us
a call.

THE KIRMES.

The Kirmes, which has been in pro-
gress at the Opera House during the week
for the benefit of the Hospital Fund, has,
we trust, been success. We are unable
to say anything further from the fact that
our representative has not been present,
NOR has the Office been honored with one
of the Kirmes books, the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge totally ignoring
the newspaper offices. We mention this
fact for the reason that all matters per-
tainirg SO largely Of local interest should
have the cooperation and support of all
the local papers, for without its news
papers city and its institutions are of
little effect.

How to Keep Your Name out OF
the Papers.


Of the several different classes
of people we have to deal with in
the newspaper business, we find
the persons who never want their
name to appear in print the most
annoying. 1t is next to impossible
to keep names of persons of any
prominence out of print under all
circumstances. If you don't want
your name to appear in print don't
have any enemys; don't have any
friends; don't inherit money; don't
lose it; don't sign any petitions;
don't recommend anything; don't
get victimized; don't exhibit any
public spirit; don't tell stories;
don't register at a hotel; don't visit
a friend in an adjoining township
or elsewhere; don't allow other
people to visit you; don't show any
interest in music, art, literature,
science or education; don't meet
1ong-lost friends or relatives; don't
go insane; don't get sick; don't
accept presents; don't do anything
that might bring you vote Of
thanks or condemnation; don't
sue anybody; don't get s,led; don't
go to law at all; don't live to be an
octogenarian; don't die.

Virtue and Honor"

white Slaves" was the subject
of powerful discourse delivered
in the City Hall last Sunday after
noon by H. A. Cozzens, Gent Sec'y
of the Newark Y. NJ. C. A. DR..
c. M. Howe read the first Psalm.and
the Rev. Geo. Kitchens invoked
Gods blessing upon the services.
The slavery of doubt, which is
very prevalent, was the first
thought expressed for considera-
ton. The speaker said if he
should advertise that he would
speak on the subject of NO God or
no hell and charge 81 per ticket,
the house would be crowded, land
he would be considered a smart
man. But this was not the kind of
noriety he was seeking after; his
duty was to undermine and destroy
such fiimsy and know-nothing doc
trines, and dessminate such pro-
found tru this of the Gospel as will
win souls for Christ and save them
from an endless damnation. Sue
cessive in order, and with vivid de-
piction, he sustained his argu-
ments OH the slavery of rum, lust
and indecision. So deep was the
interest, that a half score manifest
ed a desire to lead nob1er lives in
the future. Lieut.. Shaw's male
quartette enlivened the services
withnumber Of choice selections.
Also several now names were add
ed to the roll.

A PLEASANT SOCIABLE.

There was pleasant social gathering
Thursday evening at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Harman Friend, on Linden
street. Many representative Passaic peo-
pie were present as well as friends from
New York and Somerset. An interesting
part of the entertainment was 'sdonkey
party" in which the ssbooby prizes" were
won by Mr.. Peter Speer, of Somerset,
and Mrs. o. S. Freeman, of Passaic.
Music and dancing we're kept up until
midnight, when refreshments were
served, after which the party dispersed.
Mr.. Friend is in the furniture business in
New York. He has an amiable little
wife and comfortable home. and
together they make excellent entertainers.

MILITARY NOTE.

Architects are still at work on
the plans and specifications for the
new armories in Jersey City and
Paterson, ..and as soon as they
have finished the contracts will be
awarded. Despite all previous dis
cussion of the matter, Hoboken
will not have a new armory for at
lease three years. The Armory
Commission has only $55o,ooo, to
spend each year, and, as each of
the new buildings will cost not less
than $4,000, they together will
take the entire appropriation for
three years. When they are COM
plete, two more will be commenced
without delay, and Hoboken will
probably have one of them. Two
armories will be kept under way
all the time until every organiza-
ton in the State is provided Tor.

At the New Armory.

Company B.'s first drill, being
also an inspection drill, was held
in the New Armory in the New
City Hall Thursday evening. The
Company turned out about fifty
men who acquitted themselves
well. It may safely be said that
the Company never looked better,
and this may, in part, be due to
the fact that the "boys" are well
pleased with their new quarters,
which, it is believed, will be the
means of building the Company
up. At the close of the drill the
Company was invited to partake
of the hospitality of the officers
and enjoyed themselves to until a
late hour.

The bill to make ifty-fve hours
constitute a weeks work has be-
come law, and it proves to be far
less sweeping than had been sup
posed. Practically its full effect
is to give women and children
under Saturday half holiday. AS
originally drawn it applied to all
workers; but it was amended so
that it will benefit only the women
and boys under eighteen. They
are to have ten hours work day
and a half holiday on Saturday,
and it is open to question how far
this provision can be enforced.
A man went into the post office
recently, and told the clerk that he
wanted thirteen two cent postage
stamps for cent and a quarter.
The young man refused to give
them to him, stating that the cost
would be twenty-six cents. The
man persisted in getting his order,
claiming that he could get them
at any Office for that amount, and
even threatened the government
official if he continued to refuse
him. Finally the young man or
dered him out, but the man, moth
ing daunted, took a cent and a
twenty y-five cent piece from his
pocket and laying them down on
the counter he received his stamps
for cent and a quarter. The
clerk was a little discomftted
for a while, but now he enjoys the
joke as well as anyone.
Consistency occupies but very
small portion of a politicians mind,
which thinks only of how to "get
there"
The RECORD office is located at
the junction of Bloomfield ave-
nue., Grove and Garden streets,
and fronts on all three thorough
fares. Bear this in mind when
you are in need of anytAing in the

PASSAIC PLEASED ANDPROUD.
Its Splendid New City Hall
Dedicated last Saturday.

DoQlCdLcQ last saturday.
Pleased and proud was Passaic
last Saturday. 1t was the day for
which she had long waited, the one
chance of a decade to show to
strangers what her public spirited
citizens could do in the architect
ura1 line. The new city hall, which
was dedicated with appropriate
ceremonies, was the centre of
public interest.
In the choicest spot in all the
town stands the new municipal
building, a magnificent pile of
brown stone. 1t was begun as a
private mansion twenty years ago
by Charles M. K. Pau1ison.
The depression ia real estate in
1875 caught Mr. Paulison unpre-
pared. Before he could recover
his feet financially he died, and for
years "Pau1ison's palace" stood in
an unfinished and decaying condi-
ton. As. every citizen knows,
it was recently secured by
the city at a low figure, $4,000, a
portion of the price being subscrib-
ed by the public minded citizens,
and in its completed state it has
cost less than 500, 900, though
worth at least twice that sum.
It is said to be the most beautiful
city hall in the State. From its
windows can be seen the spires of
St. Patrick's Cathedral in New
York city, the turrets of the Wee
hawken Monastery, the Passaic,
Hackensack and Hudson rivers,
Paterson, Garfield, Rutherford and
Bloomfield, the Palisades and the
Orange and PTeakness mountains.
The dedication services were
held in the new City Hall at 1890
a. m. DR.. P. F. Leavens offered an
appropriate prayer, and General
Bird w. Spencer, ex-Mayor of the
city, made an eloquent address, IN
which he reviewed the history of
the town. As chairman of the
building committee, he turned the
building over to Mayor Brown,
who responded briefly. The
services concluded with benedic-
ton by Rev. DR.. John CASTOR.
In the afternoon there was a.
composite" parade. Governor
Abbot and his staff sat on the
grand stand, surrounded by
dense crowd of people, many of
whom had come from Paterson,
Jersey City and Hoboken. Before
him passed in martial array host
of marching soldiers, regiment
of Grand Army veterans, scores of
fire ladIies with FURNISHED en-
gines and hundreds of mounted
cyclers, school children, etc.
In the evening came the feast
of eloquence which makes patriots
of ordinary citizens and heroes of
men of noble mould. An hundred
and fifty guests sat down to the
banquet at Whitehead's Opera
House. There was the usual good
cheer mingled with toasts and
speech making. The members of
| the banqueting committee deserve
no little credit for the excellent
manner in which they performed
their duties. The opera house was
elaborately and beautifully decorat-
ed with fags!and flowers the arrang-
ment of which must have entailed
considerable work.
The ceremonies of the day were
y concluded with a brilliant
Fpyrotechnica1 display and con-
TT in the City Hall Park in the
vening.

A MILLION OF DOLLARS

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad VIII
Build II On n Magnificent scale-The

Another grand improve nent is conrcm-
plated for Richmond in the shape OF a
MAGNIFICENT new depot for the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad
called at the Office OF General Manager
George W. Stevens yesterday. and had a
talk with him on the subject.
Mr.. stevens told me that the people Of
Richmond would not be disappointed in
respect TO the new depot. That the COM
pany would have the plans for the same
finished in a short time. and that Major
enters new hotel and the depot would
h, opened about the same time.
you can tell the public" said Mr.
stevens. that Richmond will have one Of
ne finest depots East Of the Mississippi:
in fact. IL will rank second 10 none in the
country. l cannot state definitely wha
thc building Will be located at this time
MS the company has not yet determined
upon that point We are seeking the most
convenient site. In order that we may
have good connections with our James
River division. This connection with the
new depot will not be by the way OF the
old trostlc now in use but by the best
route we can secure through the city. The
James RIVER connection anu the new Qt-
Pot combined will cost million Of dol
Lars.
The new building will not only have
waiting rooms and such other conve-
niences as are found in all large depots,
but il will also have sufficient office room
TO accommodate the different executive
departments OF the road. From this the
people OF Richmond can readily judge
what sized building the Chesapeake and
Ohio intends to erect.
There have been other improvements
necessary on the road that required con-
siderable outlay Of money or Richmond
would have had this depot long since. The
road is now in flrst-class condition. New
sidings have been put in; living houses
have been erected for the benefit Of opera
tors and agents who are employed in re-
mote sections Of the mountain districts;
new shops have been built at Clifton
Forge: new rolling-stOck has been added
in fact there has been an enormous eXpen-
diture Of money this year for improve
ments. to make the Chesapeake and Ohio
system one OF the finest in the South and
Southwest. The James River division has
been supplied with new ties from Clifton
Forge 10 Richmond, and several thousand
tons Of steel weighing seventy-five pounds

that part OF our system in good shape.
