..,1saDEs AMUSEMENT PARK.

The Palisades Amusement Park has
been running little over one month

racention it has had, the place could
Ee called a success. The principal at
t,.aetion. of course, is the open air

averv one has had the pleasure of
uifnessing stage performances with
nat,1res accessories so admirably
adapted. To the enthusiastic ones the
theatre is retreat where a delightful
hour and half may be spent, and the
Attractions so far presented by the
management evidence an intention to
keep it's compact made at the outset,
that nothing Objectionable would be
offered Indeed the theatre has
become a source of a great deal of
pleasure to everyone, and young and
old alike go there for recreation.
AS for the other attractions in the
park, they consist of the usual things

demands a change, and the park
seems with some to fill a long felt
want.
The one Objectionable feature is the
Sunday dancing pavilion. This is all
right for those who go there for that
purpose, and who do not regard the
Sabbath as any better than any other
day But the moral sentiment of the
community is against dancing on Sun
day The public will patronize the
park Sunday without these objection

In fact, the Sunday closing law may
be called into requisition at any time
and stop all these things, and it is just
as well that the management be wise
to this fact. A little caution will go
long way just now. So far there has
been no effort made to sell alchoholic
drinks, and it is a question if it will
ever be done. The councils of the two
Doroughs will never consent to it, and
the mayors are both opposed to it.

GALLANT FIRE FIGHTING.
PaIisade Park Company Does Some
Fine Work Distinguishing
Swamp.

The gallant members of the PAIL
SADIE Park Fire Company, of Palisade,
covered themselves with glory Sunday
afternoon, June %, by extinguishing
a burning swamp over by the juno
ton. The fire was caused by some
daring incendianry, who, passing into
the jungle, deliberately shipped his
cigarette into the tangle of leaves
dried by torrid sun, and soon there
was a blaze that ran along the roots
of shrubbery till it flashed itself into
real fire by igniting some fallen logs
and stumps. Headed by Foreman Jel-
trup the fire boys ran quickly and

emitting great dense volumes of love-
ly blue white smoke. The high diving
horses had the moment before made
their maddening plunge at the park,
and a great surging mass of people
poured out to watch the fire laddies
struggling against such heavy odds
At the nozzle stood Walter Binner and
l.. K. Sager, who directed the stream
upon the vulnerable spots. Pennell,
Jackson, Flagg, Bailey Willard and
Beckman stood hard by and lent
valuable counsel in directing affairs
1t was a hard task to get the hose
reel over the bitches of the jungle,
but with a perseverance born Of he
oric effort they fought their way till
within striking distance, then the
command was passed along the line
to Let 'er goi" and then the water,
red as frothing wine, came squirting
through the nozzle and soon the
agony was over. A small boy yelled
to Binner and Sager, who fought with
all the Vengeance of their souls, and
bareheaded at that. mind you, Hey.

railery the fight was continued with
