Allaire, known as the birthplace OF
the wife of John Roach, the shipbuild
er, and as "the deserted village" OF
this State, is to be wiped off the posta,
map because the Government can find
no one who wants to be postmaster
The history of Allaire was made eighty
years ago when it was the largest iroI
smelling town in New Jersey In the
early 20's James Allaire, of New York
City; founded the town, and it rapidly
grew into a prominent business centre
of Central New Jersey. Iron was cart
ed there in large quantities, smelted
and shipped by boat from Manasquan
In the 30's the town had the largest
brick building then in the State. The
iron trade continued to thrive until
about 1910, when an Improvement in
machinery made the process there out
Of date, and the town then began to
diminish as a commercial centre, and
as the industry became crippled the in
habitants moved away. The business
at the postoffice has been decreasing
for several years. Postmaster Height

with the earnings of the office, the sal

has given up the Office. Mail for the

Governor Hoch, of Kansas, in Les
lies Monthly says: "Tne loss Of life in
this country in railroad accidents is
alarming and horrifying. 1t is a mis-
nomer to call much Of this human
slaughter the result Of accidents, and
1t is often very unjust TO charge it to
carelessness Of employees, as is gener-
ally done. The fact is, railroad en-
ployes are generally overworked in
this country. and the wonder is, not
that so many accidents occur. but that
more do not occur. Labor laws should
be more generous to railroad emplc%es
and more vigorously enforced. But
among the reforms for the protection
of the travelling public perhaps no one
thing is more important than the gen
eral adoption of the block system. II
