element, the so-called conservative
clement in every borough and town
and city. The man whose father had
kerosene lamps, and who continues
with kerosene lamps, because they
were good enough for his father. He
plows through mud and snow, be
cause his father did so before him,
but fortunately, there are few of this
kind in Leonia. Most LeOnionites are
progressive, most OF them are proud
Of their Town, and but few Of them
write or talk against it. This class
every town has. Leonia probably has
less Of this class than most towns,
and the less a town has of this Gle
ment, the better it is. We all respect
a man who defends his home as his
castle A little concentrated effort
on the part Of all the people in the
Borough, little pushing, a little
boosting, no knocking, will accomp-
lish wonders in town which has so
many things in its favor as Leonia.

MID-WINTER THUNDER.
Violent Storm Wakes Things up on
the Palisades February 4.

Anybody who wasn't half-baked or
stone deaf must have been aware that
something unusual was doing in the
early morning Of February 4. There
was enough disturbance of the ele-
ments to cause people to wake up
and rub their eyes in wonderment at
what was going on.
The evening before a half inch OF
snow had fallen which later was
washed off by slow rain Then in
the early morning the wind went on
another gambol and played pranks
with window blinds till one wondered
what was up.
But when about five a. m. rolled
around most OF what was up came
down. First there were dainty flashes
of lightning, as though trolley car
in the neighborhood was suffering
Then these flashes increased and
pretty soon there was far off rum
bling as OF an empty wagon rolling
along a dry road All Of a sudden
flash! pop! pop! crack WOW! fash
f-l-a-s-h Hear that? Thunder, be
jinks! And February 4 | want to
know! And the wind said, "Tll be
blowed!' while the lightning remark
ed, II don't often crack like that in
summer time"
And those early birds who took an
early car to the ferry waded through
four or five inches Of water at Bluff
and Cumbermede roads, still more on
the sidewalk along Palisade avenue,
and a small Niagara poured off the
Palisades over by the park as the car
rolled down the hill to the horseshoe.
As David Arthur Carson wOI1ld say
"Now, want that curisome?"

Making the Moon Shine.

One Joshua Baker, a typical Ten
nessee mountaineer, had been appre-
hended for making illicit mountain
dew whiskey. Calling the man to
the bar, the Federal Judge asked him
his name. With steady stride the
old man stepped forward and replied:
Joshua Baker Is my name, sir"
Joshua" repeated his honor, Are
you the Joshua which the scripture
says commanded the sun to stand
still:" For a moment the old man
scratched his head and thought, then
suddenly looking the Judge straight
in the eye he said:
ooh, Hell, no Judge, I'm the man
that made the moon shine.-Ex-

money to make a town attractive, if
properly expended, are really assets,
not liabilities. A few more residences,
a few newcomers, pay enough addi-
tional taxes to pay for this additional
expense The Improvement IS per
manent, the money expended in the
Borough TO lis merchants and others
by these ew-cOmers is permanent.
For this reason, it would seem good
policy TO speak we'll and work hard
for your own home place.
A good example OF this is Ridge
wood Ridgewood. n. j. by its Board
OF Trade advertised in the New York
papers its natural advantages, and we
are informed IS very successful in
bringing the attractiveness of Ridge

poses. The rest of the $35, 1877, which
was raised by the Borough, goes for
schools, State and County Taxes, etc
The question that comes to the mind
of person passing through Leonia
is, would it not be better for the
Borough, even at small increase of
taxes, to spend, say $4,000 for Bor-
ough purposes? This would make the
total expenditure OF $40, 1877, instead
of $35, 797, which is about 1 IA per
cent increase on the total taxes
raised, but so per cent. increase for
the moneys to be spent in the Bor-
ough. With this additional $4,000, a
good many things might be done,
which would add very materially to
the pleasures of living in Leonia. The
streets might be kept in better condi-
ton, the weeds might be kept down,
the roads oiled, more lights might be
had, possibly some better police pro
lection, and with possibly enough

But, although Leonia is an Artists
Colony, and although its natural loca-
ton, its scenery and general suE-
roundings are most attractive, what
puzzles the outsider is why some OF
these artists do not see TO it that the
town itself IS kept in d more artistic
and orderly mannar.
Improvements Needed
The question OF taxes may have
some bearing on this point All of
Bergen County last year had quite
a large increase in taxation, owing
largely to the Improvements made
throughout the County The Bor-
ough of Leonia itself, we see by the
tax-bills, has not been extravagant in
expenditures OF money. as only S1O,-
hoo has been used for Borough pur-

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Intense
Heat, much sunshine and a serious de-

weather of the past week over large
portions of the great agricultural dis
tricts of the country, as summarized
in the weekly c~rop-growing weather

vailed, causing rapid evaporation Of
moisture from the soil. Some good
showers occurred in the lower Ohio

PILGRIMS FROM u. S.
PORTUGUESE PRISONERS.
Detained for Military Duty
Avoided Years Ago.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Of the 265
Portuguese pilgrims who sailed from
Providence May 10 to celebrate the
Feast of Santo Christie at st. Michaels,
In the Azores, according to word re-
ceived yesterday by the Fat r Steam
ship Company in this city, not more
than 100 were allowed to sail fer home
when the Madonna left st. Michaels
last Saturday.
The remaining 1856, most of whom
have been residents of the New Eng
land States for many years, have beea
forcibly detained by the governor of
st. Michaels and held for military serv-
ice. In one or two instances where
the pilgrims were accompanied by their
wives they have been held and the
women permitted to return alone.
Before leaving this country Vascon-
cellos notified the Portuguese govern
ment and 1-sked II the republic would
see hat pilgrims were allowed to at
tend the feast without molestation. The
assurance was given.
Most of the men have wives and fam
lilies in this country and are in bust.
ness here. 1t is believed that among
those held are some who have taken
out their first citizenship papers In
America.
