Palisades Park.

Many people in the Park never
realized until recently what a pleasant
walk lies between here and the top
of the Palisades. During the Hudson
Fulton celebration the crowds on the
trolleys were so overwhelming, even
dangerous, that a large percentage
of us jewellers in the valley decided
that if we were to see the fleet and
all the accompanying attractions, we
must go on foot The fine weather
made this comparatively easy propo-
sition, and now the autumn foliage
adds so much to an always pleasant
route that good walkers will not for
get that they can reach Grantwood
without paying a nickel, and it is
easy to imagine the road thither be-
coming very popular.
The whist season has opened.
There are now two afternoon clubs,
for ladies, and the Saturday evening
mixed club will open before the end
of the month.
The bowling alley promises to re-
sumo its popularity as soon as cool
weather makes it an attractive form
of exercise The ladies who became
expert bowlers last winter are now
quite ready to challenge the gentle
men, and some lively skirmishes are
expected.
Mr. and Mrs. Peek of Edsall Boule-
ward are spending several weeks in
the Adirondacks, enjoying the au-
tumn attractions. Mr. Peek's health
is being greatly benefited by the out
door life in the bracing air.
Mr.. and Mrs. Valiant of Grand
avenue spent the week of the Hudson
Fulton parades at the home of Mrs.
Valliant's mother in West Doth street,
New York.
Rev. and Mrs. w. A. Crozier have
been entertaining as guests the past
month Miss Beck of Shrewsbury, Pa,
sister of Mrs. Crozier, and Miss Frye,
relative of the pastor.
Mr.. James NJ Adams has returned
from a recent trip to La Gloria, Cuba,
having decided against taking his
family down there this winter.

BERGEN COUNTY TO HAVE
NEW ROADS.
poard of Freeholders Vote to Tax
People Nearly $I,ooo,ooo, and have
Lively Tilt in Session-Some
Comments.

In a scare head as big as one S
hand. the Ridgehe1d Park Bulletin
tells of the determination of the Ber-
Gen County Freeholders, who held a
Session Oct. a, when they agreed to
snend about a million dollars of the
taxpayers money on roadWays.
There is to be an improved system,
brt the eastern and northern end of
the county is to be neglected, accord
ing to the report published.
Saws the Bulletin:
"The scenes and incidents in con-
nection with the passage of a bill
that is estimated will carry with it an
expenditure from 100000 to one mil
lion dollars marked the Freeho1ders
meeting on Monday as one of the
most exciting held in recent years.
Enraged at being called a Judas
scariot, Freebooter John ]. May
arose in his seat and attempted to
reach the seat of Freebooter Thomp-
son. In unprintable language May
denounced Thompson and threatened
to get him at some other time The
outbreak took place while Thompson
was explaining the part May is al
legged to have played in the county
road scheme, which later in the SEES
sion was adopted after several
riders had been defeated"
Freebooter Henderson offered a
resolution in substance approving the
report Then Freebooter Thompson,
in the might of his wrath, arose, and
is alleged to have said:
"'Not since the betrayal of Christ
by Judas Iscariot had such a diaboli-
cal scheme been attempted as the
County Road plan, and pointing his
finger at Freebooter May, said: And
there sits one of the arch traitors.
May, flushed with anger, arose in his
seat and livid with rage called upon
the Diety to damn the Man from
Overpeck.' The language he used is
unprintable. Freeholders Henderson
and Crouter grabbed May and with
force caused him to resume his seat
1t was the belief of those who wit
messed the scene that May intended
to personally attack Thompson, but
he was prevented from carrying out
his purpose"
The report was finally adopted
after continued heated argument. The
vote was as follows:
Ayes-Blakeney, Bush, Celia, Cluss,
galloway, Hecker, Herring Hender-
son, Kerr, May, Polmat, Post, Sage,
smith, Widness-I5.
Nays-Birtwhistle, Clarke, Conklin,
Grouter, Hook, Mattocks, Robinson,
thompson, Van Bussum, Winters
TO-
The Bulletin said further on the
matter:
Freeholder Mattocks delivered 4
ringing speech against the scheme as
proposed by the resolutions. why
Is, It, said he in thunderous tone,
mat not a single advocate of the
plan has arisen on this floor and given
Us good reason for its adoption?
Inc Joker in this scheme is to give
me west side the county roads,
leaving the north and east sides with
out single improved highway. l

The Kind Cat.


A neighbor of old Mrs. Harrington
killed a fine pig one day. He cut it
up and hung the pieces in his wood
shed. Mrs. Harrington's cat climbed
into the shed that night, stole large
pork chop and carried it home to her
mistress. The minister happened to
call on the old lady the next day. She
was just frying the chop. She told
the minister how miraculously it had
been brought to her by the cat.
"And, oh, sir" she said piously, lit
was almost beautiful to see the way
the sweet animal brought me the pork
chop. 1t quite recalled to my mind
what we read in Holy Writ about
Elijah and the ravens" -Exchange.

THOUSANDSOF
HOMES LOST

OSAKA. Japan, Aug. 2.-Confusion
still prevails here as n result of Sat
urdays disastrous fire. Thousands OF
persons are homeless and facing
hunger.
A system of relief has been orsan-
izcd by the municipal authorities, but
1t Is inadequate to supply all needs.
Outside cities and towns are gener-
ously sending in contributions to be
used in alleviating sufferinss OF the
homeless and destitute.
The number OF ca2ualitcs has not
yet been determined. Hundreds OF
injured are crowding the hospitals.
The latest estimates are that 20.-
900 buildings were destroyed. these
including banks. stock exchanges
museum government editices and
factories, 1t is feared that some in
surancc companies will fail as a re-
suit of the heavy losses they will
have to pay.
The confiagation lasted more than
20 hours. In the burned sections tae
streets were narrow and the houses
mostly of wood. Under strong
brcczc therefore. the buildings were
'asS prey for the iiames which jump
ed from one to another with great
rapidity.
