Concert and Dance Good.

The concert and dance given
at the City Opera House last
night by the Dode Fisk orches-
ira was largely attended and
proved to be one of the most de-
lightful events of the season.
The concert included a number
of standard overtures and selec.
tions, which were excellently
rendered. and the solos played
by different mem bers of the or.
chestra we're also good. The
feature of the dance was the
Fronting by Dode Fisk, who is
without doubt one of the most
clever prompters in the business.

Mr.. Rca said that as four tracks

Grout suggested that another story

Mr.. Rca pointed out that as already
planned the bridge would be $50 feet

expensive for the city to provide ap-

The approaches would have to be
more than half a mile long. The APP

men that they represent.

The New York Connecting Rail
road Company has applied to the
Rapid Transit Commission for Il re-
grant OF the franchise given TO the
company by the board over a year
ago permitting it to build a railroad
from Long Island City TO The Bronx
for the purpose oltJoining the Penn

tons which the company refused TO
agree to. It, was after this holdup
that the aldermen losf the hOIdup
Among The demands made by the
aldermen was that electricity should
be the motive power used on the rail-
road, that the viaducts and bridges to
be built by the company should be
made use of by the city for police and
fire wires, that a single fare Of s
cents should be charged on the new
road and that facilities should be pro-
yided on the bridge for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic.
In renewing yesterday II applica-

CLEAN THE STREETS.

Back UP the mayor. If there is
anything that requires public atten-
ton without an expenditure of mon
cy, 1t is for each citizen to do his
share toward keeping the streets
clean. This is of vital importance.
The impression of a city is firmly fix
ed by the condition of its streets.
II a representative of a manufac-
turing concern should come to Perth
Amboy quietly just to see what sort
of a place It is, with a view of Iocat-
ing his plant here, he should be fay
orably impressed from the moment
ne steps off the train. TO do this the
streets must be in first class condi-
tIon.
The mayor is right. The police
should enforce the ordinance in every
sense.
The citizens should take enough in
terest in the city to do their part in
keeping litter and dirt off the thor
oughfare.
People, don't tear a wrapper of
a paper and throw it into the street.
Merchants, don't sweep out your
store and use the street for a dump
heap,
Drivers, see that your wagons are
tight and hal you do not litter the
S%treets with droppings from your load
IS you pass along.

shore the street to It's original condi-
ti4n after making a tap.

ipal pride. Every little counts. IF
each individual would do his or her
part toward improving the appear
ance Of the streets, and the street de-
partment do all within the limit of
its appropriation TO keep up repairs,
Perth Amboy would be an entirely

ROYAL ARCAMUM.

There is every indication that the
Royal Arcanum is going to come out
of its recent turmoil much better
than ii appeared at first The official
bulletin, just issued, gives some in.
teresting figures regarding the fall
ing off in membership.
The Bulletin shows that during
October there were S,4l5 suspen.
sions, Withdrawals and explosions,
leaving a membership of 2S3,011.
The actual membership December 81,
1904. was ~3O5,0S3. Considering the
extent of the dissatisfaction mani
tested over the increase in rates the
showing is excellent.
II is admitted that legal steps have
been taken to restore the old rates,
or, at best, the changing of the new
ones, and some members are doubt
less remaining in the order to await
the outcome.
The real excitement, however,
seems to be over and the workers
will soon begin to fill up the ranks
under The new rates.
