That the real estate market IS unus-
ualIy lively for this time Of the year, all

In the year 1887 eastern capitalists said
that Wichita should have been built on
the west side Of the river. During that
period Of depression any sort of alleged
causes were natural but since that time

residents and not without good arSu-
ments. uat those capitalists were not 50
far from right after all. When asked
why the west side was a more preferable
would r. purer air on that side, which
would c,nducc to good health. Since those
years TIE West Side has grown up 10
considerable proportions and is well

GUMMENT.

General Bird W. Spencer, nm official
of the Public Service Corporation at
Passaic, has been led in n moment of
forgetfulness, induced by his surprise
ovor o rival company securing the
contract to furnish electric lights
there, to assert that q franchise is
worth a whole lot to a Lighting con-
Germ. The general figured it up that
the prico to be paid the new GEM
pany would only save the city $40, 600,
and then he sc d "Now, does any
reasonable man think that will ray
the city for giving to a Strange COM
p ny q frlnchise that is worth many
times that amount ?" The news of
the generals assertion has not yet
reached Public Service headquarters,
but wien it does, does any nable
man think that a caution will not be
sent to the corporations represen ia
tives In Passaic to think twice befo' Q
they speak. Newark Evening News
1t will surprise a great many Jersey
men to learn that the customs collec-
tions at the port of Perth Amboy last
year exceeded those at Newark by
$16, 1856. 80. The totals were: Perth

90. During the past ten years Perth
Amboy, which is one of the Oldest
settlements in New Jersey, has been
growing at q great rate. Perhaps it
will be interesting to know that the
customs collections at the port of
Burlington for the same period
amounted to only twenty-five cents

there will be q different story to tell.

There have been a great many com
plants because tenement houses in this
city have no fire escapes, and little or
no effort has been made to force
owners to provide them.
On January 1 the State Tenement
Commission will have jurisdiction in
this matter and it is probable that
there will be many prosecutions be-
fore the owners of tenement house un
derstand that fire escapes are neces-
sary.
The tenement house law has addei
to the cost of erecting tenement this
year and will probably prove more
expensive next year. 1t will alsu in.
fict great expense on the owners OF
all tenements viii Oh have rooms with
out windows opening to The outer air,
but if it causes all tenement house
owners to put up fro escapes on theii
buildings the law will have justified
its existence. Jersey City Journal.

THE CITY MUST ONE UP.

There were many surprises in this
city yesterday when the Evening
News appeared giving tho Rist of the
grand jury's presentment on the Rari-
tan river bridge and tine remarks of
Justice Fort on tho subject. While
1t has always been admitted that
Perth Amboy was duty hound to
open Sheridan street at any cost and
thereby make it possible for people to
get down to the bridge. it was not
generally suppose | that Perth Amboy
would have to help the county ont in
building the bridge.
1t has always been supposed that
when tie county builds n bridge, it
has to complete it, A bridge. as gem
orally understood by the common. or
binary. everyday citizen, is a strnc-
ture which spans something, affording
means of crossing. However, it seems
Perth Amboy is up against it, &c
oording to the distinguished men who
composed the grand jury, and the
court. Aside from giving the county

Eli uonts around ~Browntown, Old
Bridge and Spotswood, Forth Amboy
has got to put up IS, 900 or $40, 600 to
finish a county bridge.
Oh, we'll, it is to be supposed that
Perth Amboy is looked upon as one of
the most prosperous and progressive
cities in the State and therefore can
afford to help the rest of the county
struggle along 80 that the city will be
In as good company as possible. There
is no doubt about the city being a
leader in the State and far ahead of
anything in the county, but, at the
same time, every 1900 counts and
there is still room for much improve
ment here. Then, too. 1t wouldn't be
so bad if that commission was in ex
istence to handle all this money the
city is giving the county, instead oil
the Board of Chosen Fountains.

Don't forget the local merchants in
doing your Christmas shopping. The
local display is secon d TO none and the
bargains are as goo as in New York

more so.

This old darkey was a deacon and one

In the midst of a long prayer just pc

dibly, SO much so that it attracted the
attention of some Of his congregation;
The goodly deacon being little deaf
on the pulpit side, did not hear IT,, and
Miss Hewins being little inuuisitive
explained the occurrence to her old
friend and asked the reason ofsit.
AS soon as the congregation was dis
missed the deacon went up to the
preacher and said
elder, I noticed that during your
prayer yo' snapped yo' fingers twice
and some of yo' congregation would
like to know the meaning Of it.
