FIRE BELL WILL RING.
City Council Changes Mind at Last
Moment.

That weighty question in>regard to
the time honOred custom of ringing u
bell in case of fire was sprung once
more at the close of the meeting of
the city council in the absence OF one
or two members of that august body
who favored the adjustment of the
practice. As q matter of fact the
negative so weak in regard to a
proposition to shelve the resolution
adopted last week that the voice of
General Hughes was the only sound
that could be heard and it was not
considered necessary to take count
of votes 1t was Fink of the First
ward who sprung the trick on his alb
sent fellow cOuncilmen. His argu-
ment was that the firemen want the
bell to ring so that when they are out
exercising the horses they will be
case one should break out. There
was no further discussion of the sub
ject.
During the past few weeks three
engineers have been employed at the
city waterworks, in order that the

employ of the city who work by the

the city should employ three engin-

BALLOON SMASHEs BOAT.
Falls on a Motor Boat, and Owner
Holds It for $500 Damages.

The balloon man in the Palisades
Amusement Park is in a peck OF
trouble over some damage done to a
motor boat belonging to w. II. Eicks,
of Leonia, a member of the Edge
water Motor Boat Club. One Thursday
about the middle of August the bal
loon fell upon the cabin end of Mr..
Eicks' boat and smashed it to the
tune of $Ioo. At least, this is his
claim for damages, and in order to
enforce his supposed right he took
possession Of the balloon and locked
it up in the boat house. Officer Reilly,
of the park force, went down to the
boat club to get the balloon Sunday,
August 20 but was told that it was
under lock and key.
One would scarcely think that a
balloon falling would do SO much
damage, yet it weighs several hundred
pounds, and must have considerable
velocity What it would do to a man
has not yet been solved, but that there
is strong element of danger attached
to a hot-air balloon there can be no
doubt.

Ridgeheld Park Bulletin.

The Ridgefeld Park Bulletin" is
about the brightest, snappiest little
weekly in all of New Jersey. From
first to last it is all about the people
and doings in Ridgeheld Park. 1t is
filled with the real spice of life, and
is a positive model in human interest.
1t has caught the spirit of home
paper for home people. The editor
understands that the most important
function of home paper is to tell all
about the home people, and makes
the Bulletin" bubbling over with eff
fervescent news items about Ridge
field Park. Coupled with all the
labor attached to the production OF
such a paper so prolific of the life OF
one little community, the editor has
a fascinating style that is at once
original and entertaining. He has the
native instinct of turning very indif-
ferent happenings into points OF
human interest, and that is the vital
point in the model village weekly.
Our hats off to Mr.. Charles Enders,
jr, the editor.
And the best part of the Bulletin"
is that it is without political aim. 1t
seeks the man.

A DARING FEAT.
Young Man Goes up in Balloon
Handcuffed, in a Mail Bag, Gets
Out, and Drops in Parachute.

A young man who has been per
forming wonder-feats in the Hindu
Theatre over at the park has recently
eclipsed all previous acts of peril by
allowing himself locked in a United
States mail bag, from which he extri-
Gates himself when half mile high,
then dropping from the balloon in
parachute. There isn't any question
but that this. overtops all danger
points ever reached by men who do
thrilling stunts in the air. There are
so many elements of peril in this act
that it excites the wonder as well as
the admiration of all. He was hand
cuffed in the bag, and had to unlock
these besides getting out OF the bag,
then climbing up on the trapeze, TAX
ing the knife ready there, and cut
ting the rope holding the parachute.
He came down in the river. What
pretty pickle he would have been in
if the handouts had refused to open,
and he had dropped into the river!
His name is Gauss.
