1t was but a few minutes after the
time advertised for the parade to start
that Grand Marshal DIR. H. Wander
Roest gave the word to move. Headed
by a platoon of police, it swept into
Broad street, with a carriage carrying
ISOLATION, and Mayor Jacob Haussling

parade committee, leading.
Following the official carriage came
one containing Wallace Ougheltree,
director of the Board of F'reeholder1-

Then came the most spectacular part
of the parade. The drivers themselves

BOONTON IRCN r
is PARTIALLY BURNED,
Modern Part of Plant, However,
Is Saved.
Especial to the Newark start

BOONTON, May 13.-Shortly after y
o'clock last evening fire was discovered
in the roof of one of the numerous
buildings comprising the Boonton Iron
and Steel Company's plant. A general
alarm was sounded, which brought the
entire fire department to the scene,
but owing to the fact that the build
ings where the fire originated were old
and dry, the flames had gained great
Roadway, and at one time it was feared
that the whole plant. except perhaps
the new steel building erected two
years ago, was doomed. The fire de-
partment, despite the fact that they
were handicapped by low pressure. as
there are no city hydrantS on the prem
Uses, did excellent work and saved
the more modern part of the plant, In
Guiding the engine rooms, etc.
The plant covers several acres. part
of which was erected more than Atty
years ago as part of the old Boonton
Nail Works. How the fire started is
not known, for the plant has been idle
for over a year. But two watchmen
are employed. The fremen saved the
bronze works adjoining, where the fire
first started. 1t is said that the build
ings are insured. This is the second
largest fire In the manufacturing dis
trict within two years. The blaze could
be seer for miles and drew q largo
crowd from near by.

TRYING TO STOP THE LEAKS.
Rock Island Urges Greater Economy
in Circulars.


in Circulars.
The Rock Island is trying to stop
small leaks in it's expense account,
hoping thereby to save revenue. 1t has
recently issued a circular in which 1t
suggests some items in which money
may be saved. The circular says:
"A small saving by each employee
spells prosperity.
Prosperity hires more men and pays
better wages than hard times.
office men can reduce unnecessary
wires and correspondence, saving sta
tionery and postage.
Train and yard crews watching ev-
cry move and not wasting time will
do their share.
"Enginemen can easily use a few less
shovelsful of coal and make a better
showing.
Every one can help and some can
help others
The Pennsylvania also is moving in
this direction. 1t desires to save money
in the same way. It's appeal to en-
ployees contains these suggestions:
1.-THE necessity for reduction in ex-
penses at this time is very urgent. In
addition to the exercise Of the strict
est economy in the use of material by
all employees, the working time should
be watched very carefully by trainmen
and enginemen to avoid overtime when
ever possible. Remember the old ad-
age, What is everybody's business is

ployee make it his personal business

prime advantage.
TT frequently happens that shopper
has really made up his mind to use a
line other than yours and merely comes
in to confirm his judgment. This class
Of passenger is very often converted
to your line by we'll timed remarks on
his good judgment, followed up by
pointing out some particular advantage
of your line that had been unknown to
him, such as 'By-the-by, here is some
thing on our line that the world should
know more of, but you are aware how
difficult it is to make everybody cog
infant of such wonderful things IS
this!' Then show him an illustration of,
say, the Spiral Tunnels or Lake
Louise and follow it up by the COM
ment of some authority on railroad en-
gineering or mountain scenery.
1T happens at times that the inquir
ing passenger is not stupid, but simple,
and in such cases it is we'll to establish
acquaintance along lines familiar to
him. 1t is probable such a passenger is
from a farming community, and It
sometimes occurs that the ticket seller
is either familiar with his particular
district or perhaps knows some person
in that vicinity, or has some knowledge
of farming and it's requirements-tn
| fact, any ticket seller who is out for
terest to attract and hold such a man S
confidence with the desired result
Then there is the prospect who either
has or assumes all knowledge-this
man can almost invariably be landed
by asking his opinion on the relative
merits of railroads, of service, etc, and
indicating to him by your attitude that
you have a great respect for his knoWI-
edge.
Another type is the inquiring pas
| senger who really is in perplexity-
such ones patronage is almost GER
tain If painstaking interest is taken in
| him. Show him the route map; indi-
| cate specially, with red ink if neces-
sary, the line he will travel: make an
itinerary; show him a sleeping car OF
its picture; mark on the map or an
notated time table two or three places
that he must not miss under any con-
| slderation-and the money is YOURS"
