The Good Old Times.

We have all heard a great deal
said about the good old times Of
our grandfathers' days" and the
fun and enjoyment they used tc
have. We are now experiencing
the kind of weather our grand
dads delighted in, with nothing
but wood for fuel and an open fire
place to burn it in. But still they
were happy, healthy and honest, q
condition of things which cannot
be said altogether of the present
generation. Passaic yet con
tains many old residents who car
remember when such a thing as 9
coal stove was not known and
matches were unheard of. If the
fire became entirely extinguished
during the night it was necessary
to borrow from a neighbor or the
flint and tinder box had to be
brought into requisition. Just
think of it. Going half mile te
borrow coal of fire or working
half an hour to get a blaze from 3
tinder box
Our grandfathers had good times
in their days, and deserved them
but, everything considered, we
think we would prefer to live un
der the present arrangements.

Stop the Annoyance.

In relation to the pest of travel
ers on all railroads.&c. candy and
fruit boy-an order has been issued
by the General Superintendent of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany which should commend itself
to the management of all other
roads. The order forbids news
boys from placing the articles they
have for sale on the seats Of the
cars or on the laps of passengers.
The way in which the various
article sold by the average agent
of the Union News Company on
the various railroad lines running
out Of New York are thrust upon
passengers, has grown to be a
great nuisance, and the order
issued by the General Passenger
Agent Of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company is one that can be
well copied by the superintendents
of other railroads, for it will give
a long suffering travelling public
much-needed relief The news
boys have their proper place on
every railroad train, but they
should be compelled to offer their
goods for sale in way that will
not be annoying to passengers.

The Way it Works.

A thing that troubles our local
editor is the number of commun
ications coming in from time to
time, wherein an entertainment is
described with free puff to Pro-
fessor--; or some general news
item with gratuitous advertise
ment to our enterprising merchant,
MIR; or a transfer in real
estate with reference to the popu-
lar real estate agent who conduct
ed the negotiations and yet never
found out how much more popular
and prosperous he would be if he
advertised in the RECORD. We
say, in passing, if the good wishers
who send these items never see
them in print, it is simply because
they have gone with the anony-
nous communications into the
waste basket. The only gamer
from such contributions is the junk
man who buys old clothes, old
rags, waste paper, and other cast
off and thrown aside matter.

Gives The Editor Joy.

If there is one thing that gives
the editor of newspaper more
JOY than to add a score of new SUBJ
scribers to his list, it is to whack
off one who is narrow and shallow
enough to want you to shut off his
paper because you have given ex-
preston to an opinion at variance
with his own. When a fellow
comes into the office and says, with
the air of aman who had you CON-
pletely within his power and was
about to brush and ruin you,
want you to stop my paper" we
cannot get him off the list quick
enough and when he is. off we feel
as though a barnacle has been re-
moved from the rudder of, the
journalistic ship.

APINCH OF SALT

Is very valuable when you want it and
can't get it, and you then realize fully
what the irrepressible small boy meant
when he said, 9 Salt is the thing that
makes things taste bad when you don t
put any on" There are lots of curious
things about salt, more than anyone not
interested in looking itrp would imagine
and you may learn many facts about 1t
that you never knew before, by reading
the charningly written and beautifully
illustrated article, . From the Depths of
Crystallized Sea- published in Demo
yest's Family Magaszue for February.
The stories IN this number are especially
good while every one of the numerous
departments is full to Overlooking with
the best of good things. There are two
beautiful full-page gravures, and 203
other illustrations and all this is fur
nished for only, 20 cents, and twelve
numbers of equal merit are given for So
a year. Published by w. Jennings

The possibilities of an electric
railroad seem limitless. 1t is i'm
possible for one who has not made
a study of the subject to appreciate
this, and little investigation de-
velops surprising things. Great
prosperity usually rewards the
operation of an electric railroad,
and there is a tendency of each
road toward extension. They are
not restricting themselves to cities,
or to towns Of some considerable
size, but from such centers they
have begun to reach out to villages
in the neighborhood. The coun-
try roads are being rapidly uti1-
lied, and in this way the electric
roads are supplying the demand
for rail communication between
nearby towns not hitherto con-
nected. 1t is predicted that in
time, and possibly at no very re-
mote day, the populous portions of
the country will simply be net
work Of such lines. 1t is also pre-
dicted that in time the right will
be granted to electric street rail-
ways to carry light freight. The
possibilities seem limitless. With
so many villages within contribu-
ting distance, and a thickly settled
farming country between, Pater-
son, our big sister suburb,
may yet see the day when it will
be the hub for an important sys-
tenn of radiating electric roads.
The many conveniences such roads
would afford need not be men
toned. These things are as yet
but mere possibilities, but there is
enough here to afford an idea of
what the future may expect of
electric railroads under proper
management.

COUNCILMANlC.

The first meeting of the Council
for the year 1893 was held last
Monday night.
A petition was received from
some of the residents of the Third
Ward protesting against the con-
dition of the sidewalk along
Speer's vineyard.
The Mayors message was re-
ceived and read. 1t was lengthy
document and recommended sew
eral improvements. 500 copies
were ordered printed.
S. M. Birch petitioned for R.
R. spur at Gregory and Erie
streets to the vacant lot back OF
the Club house.
The Mayor nominated Henry
Crawbuck to fill the vacancy on
the police force. The nomination
was confirmed.
Ordinances for improving Van
Houten avenue from High street
to Franklin avenue, and Waverly
Place from Van Houten avenue to
Belmont Place, were passed.
The ordinance to improve South
avenue was laid on the table till
March. The ordinance to improve
Offord street as also the ordinance
to open and grade Summer street
were laid on the table till next
meeting.
The Electric Light Co. came in
for share of criticism.
The meeting adjourned at o.3o

The 6 Crook, Continues.

The run of the :" Black Crook at the
Academy of Music. New York, has been
one long continued triumph. This splen-
did spectacle, consisting of every variety
of performance and staged with the most
artistic skill, has afforded enjoyment and
pleasure to thousands of theatre-poers
since the opening of the present season.
The scenery used in the four acts of
this production remains unrivaled for its
lavish display of beauty and taste the
most realistic of these is that of the first
act which artfully counterfeits a scene
of one of the romantic valleys of the
Hartz Mountains. Germany. and it is
during this act that the beautiful vet
simple ballet entitled the q Peasants
Carnival is performed. The ballet of
/" Gems 7 in the second act, the one in
which Mile. Tornaghi. the premier, and
Signor Guerra, the wonderful male
dance, appear. is one of unequalled
splendor, while the Transformation
Scenes are marvels of complete mechan.
ism. Every evening the performance
OF the = Crook is over in ample time to
catch all suburban trains.
Passaic City record., 1893-01-21
Be Very Careful.

Extra care should be used by
everyone this weather to prevent
fires, either in their residences or
other buildings. Stoves and heat
ers should be carefully watched
and guarded, and flues should fire.
quently be examined to see that
they are all right.
The most destructive fires some
times result from the slightest
causes, and after they occur it is
impossible to trace their origin.
Many fires which are supposed to
be the work of incendiaries are in
reality the result of oversight or
carelessness. Cautionary meas
ures will do more to prevent loss
by fire then even the most efficient
services of the best equipped and
most active fire department in the
country.
There is not much fun running
to a fire such nights as these, and
this is just the time when one is
likely to occur. Stoves and heat
ers are now run at high pressure,
and if they are not carefully looked
after when one retires at night,
there is danger even from the best
constructed heating apparatus.
1t is better to take the chances of
sleeping in cold room, under a
heavy load of blankets, than to
keep your stove or furnace at high
pressure during the night.

A FACT.

1t costs more hard cash to run a
reform paper than any other, yet
too many reformers think it should
be furnished at half the customary
price. Get out of that notion,
friends, and if you have local
paper pushing your principles to
the front, walk up and pay the
editor just as much as you have
been paying the other fellow. Get

On Tuesday Postmaster McGrew
was directed to take charge of the
post-office. Mayor Brown was
advised from Washington that no
order suspending Mr. McGrew had
been issued by the Department
and therefore no record of suspen-
sion or removal stands against him.
He had simply to resume his du-
ties. This solution is more salts
factory to Mr.. McGrew and his
friends than formal reinstate-
ment.
