AN INTERESTING COLLECTION.
Colonial and Revolutionary Relics Being
Gathered For the Chicago Fair.

Colonial and Revolutionary Relics Being
Gathered For the Chicago Fair.
Special to The Jersey City Neaos.
NEWARK. February z. 1S93.-The Colon
ial Exhibition Committee of this city,
whose chairman is Mrs. T. G. Palmer, of
No. II Lincoln avenue, has issued q call
to the patriotic citizens of Newark for
the loan of relics or mementoes of the
Colonial and Revolutionary periods of our
history for display at the Chicago Fair.
Similar exhibitions are to be made by
other States, and. as New Jersey was one
of the original thirteen, it Is hoped that
she will not be second TO n OF the older
common WealthS in getting together a
collection of antique articles associated
with the heroic and stirring days of old.
The descendants of the early settlers of
Newark and all persons who may feel in
terested in the proposed exhibit are
earnestly invited to cooperate with the
committee in the enterprise, which APP
peals not only to local pride. but is in
tended to be an undertaking of great
historic interest and value.
The ladies of the Exhibition Commit
tee are encouraged to believe that their
appeal will be responded to readily and
heartily. A goodly number of relics has
already been promised. among them a
pair of fliut-loek pistols, presented by
King George the Third to Brant. the
Indian chief: a clock mora than two hun
dred years old; Il Bible twice the age of
the timepiece and numbers of other ar
ticles ancient and curious. But these
things make only a good beginning. To
make the exhibition all that it ought TO
lie, the friends of the scheme are asked
to search among their heirlooms and
most treasured possessions for old china,
fans, laces. miniature portraits, great
grandmotbers' wedding costumes and
anything else which dates as far back as
the Colonial and Revolutionary times. If
these are held too precious to loan-which,
it is hoped. will not be the case. consider
ing thai to each lender a guarantee will
be given against loss-then the commit
tee must content itself with obtaining a
properly authenticated list or record OF all
such articles. IL is earnestly desired,
therefore, that persons who are reluctant
to loan, will not hesitate to send to the
committee a full descriptive list of such
cherished mementoes as those in question
which they NAV possess.
All articles loaned to the committee
will be received at The rooms of the State
Board of Women Managers for the Exhi-
bttiop, Prudential Building, this city, not
later Than the first of March. Here the
precious things will be carefully packed
by experts and forwarded to Chicago. at
the expense of the State, In fire proof
cases. fully insured. Mrs. Palmer will
gladly reply to inquiries for further in
formation, and furnish blanks to persons
who desire to make out a list OF their
treasures for publication in the elegant
and elaborate catalogue which is to be is

HAZEL KLRKE" AGAIN.
The Old Time FaVorite at the New
Academy of Music.

Eme Ellsler opened at the Academy of
Music last night with that indestructible
| play of "Hazel Kfrke," which bid fair to

Toms Cabin" Miss ELSIE is seemingly
| as young as when she created the part,
| ever so long ago, and her natural pre-
| sentation of the gentle heroine OF the
! story made it new az air. Miss Ellsler's
best opportunity is of course in the scene
in which she discovers herself to nave
| been. as she supposes, the Gupe of a
mock-marriage, and where her
mother implores her to give up her claim
upon him. Here, and in her farewell to
her old home, she showed that she does

The j. c. & B. Deal.


The sale of the Jersey City and
Bergen Railway to somebody or
other, appears to be a certain event
in the near future, though it is not
quite so certain who the buyers are
to be. Whoever they are, the city is
pretty sure to profit by the transac-
ton.
We have no complaint to make of
the general management of the road.
We have always held that the service
was fair, and if progress in improve
ments was slow, this much must be
said, it was the only leading concern
in the city which was making any i'm
portant improvement at all.
But with new capital and new inn
pulse, a revolution may be expected.
Doubtless the rapid transit problem
will be solved in short order, the
horse traction will retreat into the
dim past, and electricity or cable will
whisk passengers to and fro between
theferries and the Hill at smart, mod
ern rates of speed.
This is what the city wants. We
want to move quickly. and we want
to bring in quick moving folk from
other places to cover our vacant lots
with homes, crowd about the counters
of our retail stores, buy u newspa-
pers and help pay our taxes. New
blood is what the town wants, and
the first step towards it is new arter-
les.

The new water specifications do
not differ essentially from the former
ones, but that is because it is impossi-
BILE TO raise them much and still safe
guard the public. An honest effort
has been made to meet the criticism of
the previous ones and eliminate the
old objections. If it has not been
wholly successful, it is because much
of the criticism was utterly unreason-
able and reflected on the best features
of the old specifications.
If the Legislature will deal with the
water question wisely, we hope we
may never have to make S of these
new conditions in the framing of q
contract. But if Essex County defeats
all good legislation, then the city can
not do better than close with the best

now ordered to be advertised, provid-
ing the price is anyway reasonable

A generation ago the chickens &c tA seen
around the average farmhouse were cs a
mixed and haphnzard breed. There are
farmers still who keep such poultry. There
are also farmers who do not believe that the
world is round and revolves on its axis
every % hours. But farmers so careless as
TO their poultry are almost as scarce ~ the
latter ignorant class You may meet a
farmer whose ideas are little mixed about
the rotation Of crops and the value OF ST.

arc kind OF savings bank, and those which
lay the most eggs and fetch the highest
prices as broilers are very naturally more
highly esteemed. Now, the fancy farmers
were the first TO attempt TO breed better
chickens in this country, and they continue
TO lead in the experiments looking toward
the further betterment of domestic fowls.
There is one thing that has been insisted
on in vain, so far as ordinary farmers are
concerned. That is the value OF cleanli
ness-cleanliness in the chicken houses and
cleanliness in the food and water given to
the fowls. Uuclean houses are productive
Of all kinds Of disease, and unclean food
and water also. There is an old feAloned
notion that chickens are good scavSngers
and that il allowed the freedom of the barn
yard they will forage for themselves. This
is true, but it is very unlikely that any
cock or hen from such range would ever
take prize in poultry show.-J. Gilmer

Avery pretty girl stepped into crowd
ed car on the College avenue line She
belonged in the high school and wasn't
in the habit of standing up. The car was
full, but everybody else had seat. Seven
men held down the most available ones,
and, strange to relate, not one Of them
appeared to be aware that young wom-
an was compelled to stand.
The pretty girl, with quick glance OF
disgust about the car, took in the situa-
ton and blushed somewhat Indignantly.
She had long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to strap. Two
squares had been travelled when an idea
took possession of her classical mind.
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule, and the little
hands fumbled among few silver coins.
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is part of
the plan, but it is executed dexterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured, "How awkward of me. =
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but seven men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the point, as the artful
maiden dropped into comfortable seat
with sigh and deftly hid roguish smile.
The Scent piece was rendered by man
who assumed her place at the strap She
thanked him and looked all innocence

What Dog Stories Lack.

Presumably wholly satisfactory dog
story has yet to be written. It is rather
strange that so faithful, so beloved, q
friend and companion as the dog has al
ways been to mankind should have Sc
little, comparatively, written about him.
When we come to consider that COM
panionship and loyalty, we are compelled
to set it down as a remarkable piece Of
ingratitude upon the part of man, not to
made his friend the dog more of figure
in the literature of fiction. Mrs. Bar.
bauld is said to have written the firstdog
story. We have never seen it. The
story Of Rab is of course familiar to all.
Yet, however much of classic it may
have come to be recognized, it is at best
fragmentary, and we must confess thai
we do not share that enthusiasm WHICH
is popularity expressed over it.
1t can be taken for granted that no
body but lover of the dog will write oi
the dog. The fault that we have to fine
with stories about dogs is their invari
able lack of tenderness. When the dos
comes to die, his biographer invariably
disnlisses that event with a casual "Pool

A HIndoo,s Water Bicycle.

Babu Jagadiswara Ghatak, living In
Chetla in Alipore, known as the inventor Of
patent for rice mills, has lately invented
an apparatus by which man may safely
cross over the great waters. It is in the
shape of a bicycle placed over two strong
alright small horizontal buoys constructed
sidewise underneath the cycle. The man
will take his seat on the cycle even more
comfortably than on an ordinary bicycle,
and the machinery being propelled by the
legs will cross safely over rivers and lakes
without drenching the propeller.
The experiment was made on Monday
morning by the inventor himself, and it
proved a success. Babu Jagadiswara, seat
ed ON his wonderful cycle of the water,
passed from Chetla through the Tolly's
Nullah across the great river Hooghly into
the Botanical gardens, and in the same way
returned home, to the great Joy Of hi,
friends and admirers. The whole journey,
including thereturn, was completed within
five hours.-Cor London Globe.

FIRST STORY.

The kitchen is provided with good sized
closet for stoves and culinary utensils,
with pantry placed in convenient loca-
tion and communicating with the dining
room in the usual way. The pantry doors
are hinged so as to be self closing, thus
shntting off all smells from the kitchen.
Some persons may object to this ar
rangemcnt of rooms because there is nc
direct communication between the hall
and dining room and that there are no back
stairs. These objections could easily be
overcome in the planning of the house, but
would involve considerable extra expense,
for On additional chimney would be re-
quired and extra space for the stairway
and passage to the dining room. Since it
is a question of cost, we find that this ar
rangement here shown is one of the best
for the amount Of money to be expended.
In the second story we have two large
chambers, one small bedroom, bathroom
and hall and four closets, which are indis-
pensable to comfort and convenience These
rooms all have direct communication with
the hall, which is another good feature of
the plan. The bathroom is placed directly
over the kitchen, SO that the supply and
waste pipes have the shortest and most di-
rect run to the fixtures.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

Here is modest yet pleasing design for a
dwelling suitable for family in moderate
circumstances. The principal rooms are
grouped about one central chimney so that
each is provided with flue. A cellar ex-
tends under the entire house and has con-
crete floor, outside cellar steps and hatch
way and the usual plank stairs leading to
the kitchen.
In the first story small porch shelters
the front entrance, from which you enter
the staircase hall through small vestibulc.
AT the left of the hall is good sized parlor,
with dining room and kitchen at the rear
of the house. The hall, parlor and dining
room are separated by large doorways,
which are to be hung with pretty portieres,
thus emitting the doors which would other
wise be necessary. The curtains and poles
cost much less than doors and give richer
effect. The entrance from the staircase hall
to the kitchen is placed under the main
stairs, out of sight as you enter, and is shut
off from the kitchen by two doors, which
prevent the odors of the kitchen from per-
meating the front part of the house, an ad-
vantage which no one can fail to appreciate.

that my own personal sympathies were
