Pain lnaugurated the amusement
season at Manhattan Beach last Thurs
day evening with his magnificent new
spectacle, "Last' DAYS of Pompeii" "
followed by gorgeous display of the
world renowned Manhattan Beach
fireworks. The opening went off in a
blaze of glory. The fame of the
attraction drew crowd of 1900
people despite the fact that the wealth
er was still unsettled and the air un-
comfortably cool. 1t is universally
conceded by patrons whose memories
run back score of years that Pain
has excelled himself in this season IS
production. Thanks to the great
strides made by the art of pyrotechnJ
in late years. Last Days of Pompeii "
and particularly the fearful eruption
of Vesuvius is given with fidelity
to Lord Lytton g masterly description
that is positively bewildering, not
to say hair raising. Pain has reached
the summit of pyro echnio realism
with effects that were undreamed of.
The exhibition taktu place in Pain s
amphitheatre every n sht except Sun
days, and will continue throughout
the summer, with change of bill
nightly in the last part of the pro-

Lords Prayer for Poles.

In Poland the patriots are now en-
deavt3'ing to popularize the follow
ing curious version of the Lord S
prayer: Our Father Who art in
Heaven, restore to us the kingdom of
Poland. Deliver us from slavery. Give
us this day our daily bread, but not
stepped in blood and poison through
the wickedness of our enemies. Par
don us for the sins which are en-
craven on our swords. Suffer us not
to fall into the temptation of becom-
ing traitors to Poland, and deliver us
from the domination of foreign
power. since that is our worst evil. :"
Thousands of Poles have learned this
prayer by heart, and invariably use
it instead of the old and familiar YER
sion.-Chicago Chronicle.

If the people in the vicinity of
Washington street really want the
ferry at the foot of that thoroughfare,
it would seem that now is the time to
circulate the petition so that if it re-
ceives creditable support it might be
used as an argument for insisting on
the paving of that street.
For the Improvement of the city as
whole, it Is greatly to be desired
that Washington street is paved. Even
if property valuation may not be as
high as desirable at this time, there
is no telling how high it will go with
the street in good condition. 1t will
certainly not decrease. The agitation
for the ferry at that point, if it has
no other effect, calls attention to the
valuable water front at Washington
street and in the near future it will
be an important landing place. With
the thoroughfare we'll paved this will
doubtless be FASTENED and property
will advance the sooner. Washington
street has the great advantage of lead
ing straight out to New Brunswick
avenue and Woodbridge road, making
it central and very convenient to q
rapidly growing section of the city.
A paved street naturally draws trade
and increases traffic. The sooner
Washington street is paved the sooner
will it become the most important
thoroughfare of all that section of the
city. This it is destined to become
and the sooner the better, not only
tor the city at large, but for the pro-
perty owners. Therefore pave the
street.
