The Black crook near Its End.

The manager of the BLACK Crook at
the Academy of Music, New York. will
terminate the season of their famous
production on the goth inst. This sud-
den change of affairs at the Academy
is owing to arrangements that have
been made by the managers for the sunl-
rner season, The remainder of the per-
formances of this great spectacle will be
brilliant and attractive, if possible, then
even before. New Ballets, Marches and
fetching specialties will be introduced.
while many changes will be made in the
gorgeous stage setting. Signor Biancl-
fiori and Signorina Salmoriaghi, the two
great leaders; Mile Rose Pompon, the
clever comedienne; and the four French
dancers will introduce many new and
original features. All who have not wit
messed the performance of the ''Black
Crook should lose no time in doing so.

President Cleveland's Poor Rela-
tiOns.


The President has many relations, but
he never takes them with him. His
brother William, a most genial and ac-
complished clergyman, is now toiling
for feeble church north of Utica, at
$500 a year His wife, a handsome
woman and a charming vocalist, leads
the choir. She. like many of his relations,
was not invited to her brothers wedding
five years ago When William saw his
brother pay DR.. Sutherland SIoo for mar
rying him, he thought of his little salary
and his boys struggling for an education
and it quite broke his heart. The Presi-
dent has had many chances to help his
poor and deserving relations. but his
heart has been turned against them
since his elevation to the Presidency. He
even prevented his brother William from
accepting pastorship of Washington
church at salary five times as high as
his present salary He opposed his
brother-in-law. N. c. Bacon, when the
citizens selected that accomplished gen.
tleman for the superintendency of the

Spring Finery Has An Outing,

How the girls did enjoy last
Sunday The weather had not
been conducive to the initiation
OF new gowns and hats until then
and the young folks jumped at the
chance. New "get ups" were
everywhere. They came in lar ge
numbers from St. Nicholas 9
o'clock mass. They entered the
Sunday schools of the churches,
they thronged the streets at half
past ten bound for the morning
service, and in the afternoon the
streets were alive with them
There were gowns that were giddy
and there we're others so modest
and retiring that only the pretty
wearer attracted attention. Taste
reigned, however, and the effect
was enhancing.
In the churches the air was filed
with new hats from which project
ed flowers so numerous that one
could easily imagine garden in
full bloom-yes, and stirred by the
breeze, for these hats were never
still.

THE HOME NEWSPAPER.

The newspapers are the greatest help
to the growth of a town that can be. They
are standing advertisements which al
ways attract. They give more free puffs
and explanations of the place than all
others. They never let pass good op-
portunity to advocate the interests of
their home enterprises. They help all the
churches and never fail to speak out for
their schools. resent all insinuations
against the character of the citizens and
industries of the town; they live but to
benefit the community. To repay their
untiring efforts they ask the support Of
the people, not in begging manner, but
as recompense for their labor. They
are entitled to livelihood. because they
give more than they take. They only ask
for their rights, and these they should
have &c Car6ondaIe Leaaer.

Y. M. c. A. Suggestion.

Passaic has as good and as well
equipped an Y. M. c. A. Associa-
tion as any city of her size, and
yet the citizens or strangers seldom
see anything about it in the public
prints. 1t is regularly in charge
of its resident secretary who prob
ably finds his time pretty well oc-
cupied. In other towns it is Gus
tomary for the secretaries to fur
nish to the local papers Y. M. c. A.
notes, for the instruction of their
members and the edifcation of the
public in general Why is not
this done in Passaic? We suggest
that the Board of Directors look
into the matter.

Board of Health Notes.

The State Board of Health has de-
cided to make an Investigation as to the
i'll effects of the tobacco habit on boys
attending the public schools.
The coming summer promises to be one
of sickness and death. The sanitary COM
missioners in most of the big cities are
now engaged in making every effort to
meet and overcome the cholera.
1t is not surprising that in this year of
cholera excitement, the State Board of
Health expects the local board to be on
the sharp lookout and insist thar every
house il their district be put in thorough
sanitary condition and thorough inspec-

Educational.

Hereafter all teachers IN the State of
New Jersey are required to average at
least seventy per cent of the questions in
each branch of studies. now taught in the
public schools of the State, and not a
'.general average" of seventy, as here
tofore required.
Many of our public school teachers
have been greatly inconvenienced during
the past ten days by the tardiness with
which the warrants for their salaries
have been Forthcoming. This matter
of delays in paying the teachers IS not
new and should be rernedied. Most of
our teachers are from out of town and
require their salaries promptly in order
to meet their boarding expenses.

The following is said to have hap
pened at enn Van, N. Y:
A lady dropped into telegraph Office,
and, as she drew blank toward her,
said.
My husband has gone to Rochester
to order motto for our Sunday school
room, but forgot to tell him what the
inscription was to be, or how long want
it. If send particulars, how soon will he

RAILROAD NOTES.

A new time table will go into operation
on the Erie Railway and branches Sun
day, May 2Ist.
The block system on the Erie lines is
now completed for the entire distance
between New York and Chicago.
The Erie Railroad Company is having
forty cars built for local travel which
will seat seventy-six persons. This is
fourteen more than the largest of the
cars now in operation on that road.
There are twenty-six first class west
bound passenger trains daily on the
several trunk lines between New York
and Chicago, and during the past year
they carried an average of only eight
through passengers apiece.
Most people are not aware that the
baggagemen are not compelled to accept
trunks weighing over two hundred and
fifty pounds. If the traveller insists on
having the trunk go, the baggage mas
ter can compel the removal of all its
contents over two hundred and fifty
pounds, and the owner is responsible for
the safety of the property.

PASSAIC CITY CADETS.
Captain James G. Shearman of the
Passaic Trust and Safe Deposit
Co. and His Boy Soldiers.

We have in Passaic an interest
ing organization known as the
Passaic City Cadets. which has
been mex istence little over a year
1t was organized in March 1902,
with John F. Collerd as captain
In September William Willard
was elected captain and Mr.. J. c..
Shearman took charge of the
drills under the new army tactics.
The armory of Co. D. in the
City Hall was thereafter used for
drill purposes. During the winter
the boys purchased neat uniforms
of cadet gray and made such prog
ress in discipline that Mr.. Shear
man decided to obtain official re-
cognition for them both from the
city and State. The proper appli-
cation was made and recently Mr..
Shearman was appointed by Gov
ernor Werts as Commandant.
His Commission bears date April
II, and entities him to the rank of
full captain in the New Jersey
National Guard. The boys were
delighted when this information
was read to them. They have al
ways been enthusiastic in their
work and Mr.. Shearman has be-
come greatly attached to them.
To RECORD representative recent
ly Mr.. Shearman mentioned a pro-
posed outing which he is conteni-
plating and which will prove a de-
lightful experience to the boys.
THE CADETS WILL CARRY RIFLES.
On Thursday, last week, Captain
Shearman received consignment
of 40 rifles from New York for the
use of his boy soldiers. Bayonets,
belts and cartridge boxes. are in
Guided in the equipments. On
Decoration Day, according to the
Nezvs, the corps will parade both in
Passaic and Paterson and they will
then appear in public fully
armed for the first. time. The
rifles are of breech loading pat
tern and bear the official stamp of
the government of Belgium, where
they were made, as a sign that they
have been properly tested. The
weight of each is 51a pounds and
will shoot a 81 calibre bullet. The
rifle furnished to the State militia
is twice this weight and far too
heavy for boys to carry.
The cadets will perfect them
selves in the handling of their
weapons before having any target
practice and will not be furnished
with cartridges for year or two.
The total cost of the set of rifles
was $22o. Half of this has been
subscribed by public spirited citi-
zens and the rest will be raised in
the Fall by a bazaar. Ten more
rifles are needed to furnish each of
the cadets with a weapon.
LastSunday night the cadets, fifty
strong headed by Captain Shear
man in his State Guard uniform,
turned QUITO hear special sermon
by their Chaplain, Rev. John Craw-
ford, at the Methodist Church.
Their appearance and demeanor
were highly commended.
