Village Association Meeting
Yes, Well Trained.

A negro minister from Georgia, who
was visiting friends in New York City,
went one Sunday to the Cathedral on
Fifth avenue.
He was very much impressed by the
service, especially by the choir-boys In
the professional and occasional.
When he returned to the South he re-
solved to introduce the same thing
into his church, so he collected fiji
teen or twenty little darkies and
drilled them until he had them well
trained
One Sunday the congregation were
greatly surprised to see the choir
boys marching in, singing the process
sional The minister noticed that
some hing was wrong; the boy in
front was not carrying anything. He

Nerve, Makes Daring Ascension I'm
der Adverse Conditions-Balloon
Runs Away and Tt Wasn't Any Joke
AT That.
Charles oliver Jones, one of the
most daring aeronauts of the country,
made an ascension in his dirigible
balloon Boomerang, at Palisade
Amusement Park, Sunday, July 10. 1t
was d brilliant success except in the
bill of particulars relating to the get
ting out Of order of the various parts
of the steering gear. Everything that
turned or moved went wrong, so Cap
tain Jones was left completely at the
but nerves of steel saved him from
possible disaster. The ascension was
late in the evening with a good breeze
blowing and after the most careful
preparation the big cigar shaped bag,
los feet long and "a feet in diameter,
eased itself from the ground and
quickly turned towards the Hudson.
Orders being given to hold on to the
big drag rope, several hundred feet
long, CONSERVATION took hold of the
crowd when it broke right under the
car, cut, an attendant said, by acid.
When over Edgewater, some 400 feet
high, the motor was turned on, but
after q quarter of a minute ceased is

Tied that something was wrong. The
next thing to go wrong was the for

Iballoon is made to go up or down

moved the rear guiding rudder, and

Regular Monthly Assembly Develops
Nothing of Special Importance
Committees Appoinfed-Lookin i'm
TO the Sunday DOings-LiYeIy De-
bate Over the Minutes.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Taxpayers Association was held in
House No. 1, July 16, the president
presiding. There was nothing of spe-
cial Importance done, which is not I'M
usual, beyond the appointing of COM
of property on the Central Land Com
pany side of town to see if there are
any restrictions that would give the
association the right to wipe out the
Objectionable tents now in use a two
points for business purposes. Another
committee was appointed to look into
the matter of stopping the noises
made by loud-talking people re-
turning from the park around eleven
P. NJ. The question of allowing the
amusement park to continue dancing
on Sundays was also discussed. The
matter will be looked mo, also.
The motion of Leonard Sumner
Wheeler to eliminate all unnecessary
detail and differences" from minutes,
allowing nothing in the records eX-
cept the actual action by the associa-
ton, was lost. 1t caused an interest
ing discussion, however, and showed
the secretary now president-elect,. to
good advantage. He had chosen to
place upon the minutes of the June
meeting a synopsis of Bailey Millards
eulogistic nominating speech, in which
many highly laudatory things were
said of Mr.. Sager, some or them de-
served, no dOubt-at least that's the
inference"-but left out all mention
of equally pleasant things which had
been said of his opponent in the cleo
ton, Paul T. Brady. Messrs. Darby
and Logan were the ones who dared
speak in behalf of Mr. Brady Mr.
Logan's remarks being in the nature
of an explanation as to how much Mr.
Brady had paid for his home in Pail
SADIE, and how much his investment
represented. 1t was intended as an
explanation of the utterly inexcusable
falsehood circulated during the cam
paign that Mr.. Brady was favored by
the company. 1t was the principle in
volved that made the leaving out of
mention of Mr.. Brady in the minutes
so apparent, and there We're those who
thought it questionable taste on the
part of the secretary. 1t was the
Darby speech at the June election,
however, that touched upon a tender
spot, for the gallant ex-naval officer
spoke right up in meeting and said
that while he had known Mr.. Sager
a number of years as a patent attor-.
ney, and had nothing against him at
the some time he would regard it as
public calamity TO see a man like
him elected over man so eminently
qualified in every way as Paul T.

Why's and Wherefores of Slang.

From the Boston Transcript
 Ali a matter of fact, little slang is an excellent thing, but in the present era or slang more than the smallest quantity IS ? great deal too much Tho English lah- guage may fairly be said to be the most picturesque and most expressive In the world, and it does not need the veroiase of the slum, or even the catch words ana catch phrases of the street, to add to us yigor and variety. As a rule, the use or slang Is indicative more of paucity 1T thought and idea than of a susceptibility to the humorous and graphic. If we tell our friend to "get onto his job Ito get cnto himself" ito get busy, ito get move on" or any one of a hundred other things, we certainly reveal our tendency .o move with the tide of the hour, but at the same time we clearly show that we are more initiative than original, We ,peak slang frequently through sheer lag iness It was the last word in the moutn of a companion, and it becomes the next word in ours. It is echoed by the speak CT by the teacher, by the lecturer by the writer but with rare exceptions 1t never becomes anything but slang. After all 1t is only the best of slang that survives, but even then we need not excuse our selves for becoming proficient in its use. We should think of the present as well ps of the future. Why use slang when we can speak the speech of our heritage equally well? Why become the blind leaders of the blind?

or,c,,lv that many people in New York don,t want to buy thing outright, be- cause they may tire of it and not De able to sell 1t. So they are willing to pay a high rent rather than tie up capital.
 Frequently they will use thing longsr than they expect, and actually pay more Gov, if in rent than the thing is worth.

TO MAKE DOCTORS QUIT CUTTING
UP HELPLESS LIVING ANIMALS

The nti-vivisectionists, headed
by Thomas Nelson Page, the novel
list, are preparing to urge upon the
coming session Of congress the
passage of a bill prohibiting or
regulating the cutting up of live
animals in the District of Column
bia "in the interests of science"
The bill Is to serve as model for
similar legislation to be pushed in
the various states by branches of
the Administration society.
That dogs rounded up for the
pound have been turned over to
medical students for experimental
purposes, and that they have been
subjected to cruel tortures, oft
times without the administration of
an anesthetic, is freely charged by
leaders of the society here.
ut is the absolute uselessness of
the infliction of the suffering upon
the helpless animals" said Mrs.
Mary II. Tottefi, one of the officers
of the society, that is the strong
