Factories Forced to Close.
In Newark, Passaic and other large
manufacturing centers, many factories
were closing down owing to the flooding
of engine rooms. In many places cleo
trio light and power plants were shut
down for the same reason. A dam on
the Ramapo river at Pompton broke,
flooding the valley for ten miles, but
causing no loss of life.
Except for the actual running of the
ferry boats the Erie railroad was prac-
tically tied up. No trains were run on
the main line west of Passaic, none on
the Newark branch west of Newark, none
west of Norwood on the Northern
branch, none west of Arlington, and alb
solutely no trains on either the Jersey
& New York railroad or the New York,
Susquehanna & Western railroad.
Flood i'm Patterson.
Paterson was one Of the worst suffer-
ers, and for a time Friday afternoon
there was grave danger Of repetition
Of the terrible disaster of last February.
The flood is now subsiding, and all dan
ger is believed to be over. A great part
Of the city was laid under water and
scores of great plants, including those
of the Rogers locomotive works and the
Passaic Steel company were flooded and
shut down, involving loss estimated at
fully $1,00o.OO0. Only one life was re-
ported lost, that of a girl drowned by the
carrying away of a bridge over creek.
Thousands of New Jersey commuters
slept in New York Friday night, being
unable to return to their homes
Two Deaths Reported.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1O-Two deaths,
due to the high winds, were reported
Friday. At York, Pa, Walter Roger,
q 12-year-old boy, was standing on the
bank of the city reservoir when the
wind swept him into the water and he
was drowned before his body could be
recovered. John Brown, living at
Crum Lynn, short distance from this
city, was drowned in the same man
ner. He was standing on the bank of
Crum creek and was blown into the
stream, which was quite high. His
body has not yet been recovered.
Mines Flooded.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. l0.-The Lacka-
wanna river food here swept the valley
from Forest City to the Susquehanna.
No. / colliery Of the Delaware & Hud-
son company at Carbonate, the Glen
wood colliery of the Erie company at
Wayield and the Myles slope of the Del
aware & Hudson No. 2 at Olyphant are
filling with water. Carbondale's streets
were turned into rivers and all the low
lands along the Lackawanna's course up
and down the valley are Inundated.
Traffic is impeded on all the railroads
and trolley lines along the river.
Driven from Their Homes.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1O.-Fourteen
families in North Wilkesbarre were
forced out of their homes by the flood
1t ten o'clock Friday night. The New
Jersey Central and Delaware & Hudson
railroads are affected by the high water
at Parsons, three miles north of here.

REWARDED AT L ST.
The Man Who "Butted" Into other
Peoples Affairs Got What He
Was Looking For.

Bivens is one Of those men VII. are
always trying TO make the world bet
ter. Not reformer, exactly, because
he has never gone into politics, but
ready at any call to come to the front
to alleviate the woes of somebody.
lOhiciousness, some call it, but it is
scarcely that, either. In any event,
everybody who knows Biyens has been
saying for years that some day he was
going to butt into something that was
no special business of his, and he would
get what he deserved. Everybody is
oftener wrong than right, but this
time, though, il was long coming.
Everybody was right. Bivens got it,
relates the New York Herald.
He was on a street car with about
four dozen other passengers when it
happened. The seats were all taken
when Bivens came aboard, but in the
varying changes that take place in a
crowded car Bivens found his chance
and dropped into seat by the side
Of good looking woman. In front of
her holding to a strap, stood a man
who to Bivens' trained eye seemed to
be trying to attract the lady's atten-
tion. He had probably ridden dozen
blocks before he noticed this little by
play, and the soul of him reyolted
against the Vaccinations Of the mash
er. Bivens was no coward. Most peo-
pie Of his stripe are not, more's the
pity, and after watching until he was
sure the lady did not wish the mans
attention, he sailed in.
Il beg your pardon, madame" said
Biyens, good and strong, "is that man
annoying you?"
ayes, he is" she responded, though
not in the grateful tones Of women
usual under such circumstances. But
Bivens wasn't thinking about tones
just at that moment; he was thinking
about mashers, and he braced the Of
fender.
you are annoying the lady" said
Bivens, menacingly.
Il know it," was the reply, so un-
abashed and brazen that Bivens was
shocked
You'll have to stop it, said Biyens,
getting hot.
Guess not" said the man. i've got
a right 10; sne's my wife, she's huffy
and won't talk 10 me. see?'
Biyens looked at the lady; she
couldn't help smiling; her husband
laughed; so did everybody else in the
car, except Bivens; he got off and
walked home to sooihe his perturbed

AN OHIO PIPE TOWN.
Peculiar Clay fsom NeighbOring
Hills Is the Material Used
in the Industry.

The little village of Mogadore, In
Ohio, supplies five-sixths Of the United
States smokers with what is known as
the stone pipe The industry began %
years ago, on a small scale, and has in
creased until II is the largest plant Of its
kind Ia America. and gives employment
to so men, women, boys and girls. says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The adjoining hills furnish an abund-
ance Of peculiar kind Of clay used in
the manufacture Of the pipe. II is

ored earth in long, sausage-like rolls,
which are cut In two-inch-length bars.
or wads, and given % the men called
''punchers." who, by placing them IN a
machine, form the shape Of the pipe.
The dexterity OF the workmen in Aide
partments is wonderful Il IS not an
unusual thing for boy to make 5000
pipes in one day
The mining, grinding, running wads
and punching is done by male help, but
when the pipes leave the puncher's table
there are bits OF ragged clay clinging to
them. which are trimmed on by girls,
who are styled ~fnishers" The only
tools required for their trade are knife
and a grain bag. The latter Is fastened
across the lap. and after the pipe is
trimmed with the knife It is rubbed on
the bag until IL is smooth. One fnisher
can smooth as rapidly as a puncher can
make them. When the pipes are par
TALLY dry they are placed in a sagger
which resembles a straight butter pot
with numerous holes punched in It. and
then burned IN a kiln about fS hours.

The stems are a cane shipped from

EVILS OF A HOT KITCHEN.
Something which in the summer
Time Amounts Almost 10 IA Crime
Against the Family.

A hot kitchen during the warm sea-
son is an atrocity for which there is
no longer any excuse. In the time of
the old-fashioned kitchen stove with
wood as fuel, or perhaps soft coal, the
housewife had no choice in the matter,
saws Medical Talk for the Home.
To cook dinner necessitated hot

/ fll the whole house. Great waves Of

flies add to the general discomfort.
Such surroundings do not constitute

While camping out person might en-
dure this, but such regulations are
hardly worthy 10 be called home.
Gasoline and gas stoves have made
all this unnecessary. Only those who
live in the region of natural gas can
avail themselves of the gas stove. But
the gasoline stove is of worldwide
distribution. Anybody can have one.

CLOCKS FOR THE DESK.
Pretty Jeweled Timepieces Among the
jewelers. Novelties.
From the New York Sun.

from the New YORK Sun.
Costly little clocks for desk and dressing
table are among the jewelers. novelties.
In some the miniature of court beauty
serves for the pendulum, which swings
in plain view between the tiny gold or
onyx columns which support the dial.
Other timepieces have the pendulum en-
crusted with jewels and the dial made
beautiful with diminutive flower wreaths
of enamel contrived not to interfere
with the clearness of the numbers A
globe Of crystal encircled with a gold
band and showing the clock dial embedded
in it's center is novel form of timepiece.
The numbers or letters on such dialS are
of vivid green enamel and flash through
the crystal conspicuously. Or the Roman
letters and the dial hands may be of
white arranged on a background Of deep
blue or moss green.
One crystal globe is held in an eagles
beak, the bird in bronze and poised on
rocky perch Another is supported on the
back of the national bird as he stands with
outspread wings on metal twig. In an
other curious conceit /, coled serpent with
uplifted head holds the tiny globe clock in
his fangs, and the gold rim which frames
the globe is studded with brilliants, green
and white. bronze maiden daintily
modelled against a tree pillar and hold
ing a crystal globe clock is another costly
novelty of small dimensions. Miniature
automobiles, in wrought enamel on gold,
or of the finest ornamented and gilded
china. are clock carriers. The dials are
on the back wheels of the perfectly sim
ulated machines. which are scarce three
inches long and modelled proprotionately.
Easel-shape clocks of fine black or dull
bronze leather have impressionist designs
traced upon them in gold or silver and
a dial about the size of coin set in gems
in the upper left-hand corner.
Cupid chariots with dials on the wheels
or under the coachman's box are among
the prettiest models in wrought gold But
terf1ies are the steeds In one instance,
reindeer in another. Footmen are in at
tendance and the coaches are exquisitely
shaped, the tracery on the Cupids wings
and on the Harvesting being spun and of
zephyr-like suggestion. The price of these
clocks and fairy timepieces will effectually
prevent their ever becoming common.
