AEROPLANE SEEN FROM PAIL
SADIE.
A Number of Palisadians Fortunate
Enough to Witness Great
Spectacle.

Many Palisadians saw Wilbur
Wright fly up the Hudson to I3oth
Street, October A, and were greatly
impressed by the wonderful spectacle
The steam whistles gave the alarm,
and those who could get to the cliff
front, went in hurry Some friend
telephoned architect Ernest Sibley,
SO he and Mrs. Sibley had the pleasure
of witnessing the aeroplane in flight.
Garfield May was one of the first to
see the man-bird coming. He was
positive there were two men in the
machine. Others thought the same.
Mrs. Charles I. Logan and Miss Hen
rietta Reynolds were on a 42nd street
ferry from Weehawken when Wright
flew over, Each thought there were
two passengers besides Wright. They
had a perfect view of the machine
from the forward deck of the ferry
boat.
The report got out in Pa1isade that
there would be another flight at
p. m. the same day, and many people
went out to the grandstand and
waited three or four hours, among
them the entire Bailey Willard family,
Mrs. Dwiggins, the Douglases and
others.

CLOSING OF THE PARK.
Season of 1909 Very Satisfactory, and
Management Good.

The Palisades Amusement Park
closed its gates October 8, after
highly successful season. AS re-
sort of this character, it is but just
to say that it occupies unique posi-
ton among American amusement re-
sorts. There are only a few where
alcoholic drinks are not dispensed, and
this is one of them This has added
a very high tone to the scope of the
enterprise, and two seasons have
passed without a semblance of dis
order. The management certainly has
struck a popular chord in its policy
of keeping the park clean. Not a
gambling device has been allowed,
though twice during the season con-
cessionaires attempted the game of
chance in a mild form. They were
promptly squelched.
As for the attractions during the
season just closed, they were all good.
The theatre was we'll patronized be-
cause it presented clean, high-class
bills, and this drew the crowds. The
midway was the big attraction next to
the treatre, and there the visitor found
enough to amuse to make any evening

were all of the best, so that when one
considers the cost of daily airship
flights, balloon ascensions, perform

Young Man from Fort Lee Who
Grew Fresh in the Dancing
Pavilion.

a young man from Fort Lee. named
Charles Hirleman. was arrested in
the dancing pavilion at the park Sun
day night, Oct 3, charged with an
noying patrons of the dance. Hirle-
mans process was to butt into people
from the rear and feign unintentional
contact. When the man was spotted,
and proof found to be absolute. he
was arrested by special officer Hart
nett, who brought him before Re
corder R. Burton-Opitz, who promptly
inflicted fine of ten dollars, which
was paid DR.. Opitz was criticised
by a youngster named Mannix, who
came with Hirleman. and DR.. Opitz
justly complains of his impertinence.
Another party. an officer of the Bor-
ough, by the way, also criticised the
Recorder for the size of the fine.
declaring that half of it went to DR..
Optic. This is false, as the Recorder
has never accepted cent for fines in
ficted, there being no emoluments TO
the Office. So the charge is ridicu-
lousy unjus: and untrue

A special policeman for Fort Lee

attempting to swindle people with

brought before Recorder R. Burton
Optic, the fellow shed crocodile tears
and said:

Fifteen dollars, or two weeks in

Tough Boys.

4 party of four or five young men
from Fort Lee a few evenings ago
passed along Cumbermede road. and
when in front of the Fredericks home
began to yell like Indians. Recorder
Optic heard them and went out and
administered a rebuke. He was hooted
at and ridiouled loudly as the in
truders made off down the road. DR..
Opitz would like them to make a
similar crack again.

GENTLEMAN FROM MISSISSIPPI
Attraction comngto the Opera House
Next Thursday Evening


On Thursday night next in the OPP
era house, William A. Brady and JOS
eph X. Grismer will make known to
this community "A Gentleman from
Mississippi the all-season success of
190S-09 in New York City and the %
weeks hit of chicago, in both Of
which cities the play was hailed as
the greatest comedy of American life
and character yet shown, and as
play with lesson and message for
every man, woman and child with Am
erican blood and feeling. IL is not
to be surmised from this that "A
Gentleman from Mississippi" is a
hamboyant effort to make the eagle
scream, nor yet an exhibition of flag
waving. 1t is so far from being either
of these things that there is hardly a
line of the dialogue that is not exquis-
tie in its comic sense or its epigram
matte eXpressiveness.
"A Gentleman from Mississippi is
the work of Harrison Rhodes. An
thony Hopes collaboration on some
brilliant works. and Thomas A Wise
tho distinguished American actor. 1t
was produced on Monday. September
81, 1908 in Washington, ID. c., where
it won the expressed approval of Mr..
Roosevelt, then president. who des-
cribed ii as a perfectly corking
play. Bully! A ripper" Later in the
course of the brilliant and unique
New York run, "A Gentleman from
Mississippi was acted one night be
fore an audience that included Mr.,
Taft, who was no less emphatic in his
expression of approval than was his
predecessor. And a column of this
newspaper was all too brief to con-
tain list of the names of disting-
uished men and women in all depart
ments of American activity who have
said fine things about this comedy.

Bennington taxpayers swore off
over a million dollars in offsets this
year. Were offsets done away with
the grand list would be increased
practically ten thousand dollars With
that increase of grand list the tax
rate in Bennington village would be
$175 on a dollar, instead of $2l5 as
now, and in the rest of the town pro
portionately less. Four-fifths of the
taxpayers in town would be promptly
benefited by doing away with offsets,
The losers by such change would
be the merchants who buy goods on
credit and swear off practically the
value of their entire stock. Manufac-
turers would also pay somewhat more
taxes as they now Offset borrowed
money to some extent The argu-
ment for and against the abolition of
offsets is whether or not the larger
proportion of the people should pay
more taxes for the benefit of the few,
because>of the relatively greater i'm
portance of the latter in the business
of the town. Those who argue in IA
vor of doing away with offsets say
that the Offset privilege is seriously
abused by firms and individuals put
ting in all they owe as Offsets but
failing to put in what is owed them
On the other hand those who favor
offsets say that it is decidedly wrong
in any case to collect taxes on proper
ty not owned and that such would sure
ly be the result in many cases There
are only half dozen of the 46 states
of the union where offsets are allow
ed and in only one other state to the
extent to which they are allowed in
Vermont.

THAT it is the duty of Congress

lection to wool growers and wool
manufacturers and bear equally on all
classes of producers and consumers
and thus allay the popular discomfort
which threatens the stability of bust

ule should be based on an advalorem
duty on wool, and wool by-products,
which shall afford ample protection
