PASSAIC FOR COMMISSION. Majority of 931 Rolled For Gov. Will sons Plan of Government.

Passaic. N. J., July 26-Passaic adopted the commission plan of gov ernment yesterday by 1,792 votes to 861, a majority of 931. The total vote was 60 per cent of last years Assem- bly, vote. so that the provision that at least 30 per cent of that vote must be boiled was met.
 The adoption of the act is attribut- ed to the fact that both newspapers, Mayor Spencer, nearly all the other city officials, most of the Republican and Democratic leaders, and nearly all the leading men of the city were for it. and that Gov Wilson spoke here for it.
 The Socialists were opposed. contend ing that commission government meant centralization of government, not government by the people. The campaign lasted little more than three weeks. The Geran law, operated for the first time in the State, worked smoothly, and is believed to have pre- vented much corruption.

COLD SNAP IN CHICAGO.
Thermometer at 53 and Women Wear
 Furs, Men Overcoats.

Chicago, July 26-A wintry chill gripped Chicago yesterday and the anomaly was presented in it's busiest thoroughfares of men wearing straw hats and overcoats and women in lin- gerie waists protected by boas or fur trimmed wraps
 With one exception Chicago never before suffered so chilly day on July 25. However, the Weather Bu- reau announced that it was showing in Bay City, Mich, the first snow ever recorded in July in the peninsula State and that a similar condition prevailed at Findlay, Ohio. The low est temperature for the month of July in Chicago was recorded as 50 degrees on July 21, 1873. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning the thermometer registered B degrees.
 Chicago in three weeks has estab- lished a record of it's own. Twenty one days ago the temperature was 102 degrees in the shade; yesterday it reg istered 53 degrees. The Weather Bu- reau sagely ascribes the anomalous condition to atmospheric pressure and says "the pressure" is moving East.

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS

To the Editor of the Evening Far mer. Sir:-In your issue of July 25, 1911, I find several very pertinent questions regarding repairs. so called, which are being made to the pave rnent on East Main street. o First-"Are they fit to be accepted by the City,
 Second-''Who is at fault, the Con- necticut Co.,. or the contractors ?"
 These two questions are suggestive of three more questions.
 Does anybody for one moment be- lieve that the contractors are not do- ing the work which they were paid for?
 Does anybody for one moment be- lieve that the Connecticut Co. has not had sufficient experience in such work to know what it is worth to do it in a proper manner? After a care full inspection of the condition of the pavement which was laid in the sum- mer of 1900. can any competent per son believe that the City of Bridge port is. now getting what it is justly entitled to, and should reasonably de- mand in the way of repairs?

 Harold Cone, aged IT, of North Coscob, was run down by an automo- bile while riding 8 bicycle Saturday afternoon. A machine coming in the opposite direction collided with the wheel, throwing him to the ground planted itself on the young mans s chest. The chauffeur was obliged to back it off the boys body. No bones were broken, and aside from few slight injuries and bruises the young man seems to be none the worse for the accident.
 Inatcive Accounts.
 The, Savings bank of Danbury, has $4,814.74 in inactive accounts, rang ing from John Clark, $3,589.50 to Sarah Andrews ,$2.O4.

 A hay barn on the farm of Alfred Ruffles in Danbury, was struck by lightning Friday morning and was burned to the ground. In the midst of the thunder shower a bolt of lightning struck the ridge pole and ablaze from end to end, The entire barn, and considerable hay was de- strOyed.
 Hands Badly Burned.
 Alexander Howell, president of the Howell Motor Works in Greenwich, Is suffering from serious burns. MT. Howell had been cleaning his kid gloves in gasoline and, believing that they had dried sufficiently, put them on his hands and struck a match to light cigar. In an instant the gloves caught fire. MT. Howell suc- ceeded in getting the gloves off, but not until he had pulled a good part of the flesh on the back of both hands with them.

POII'S.

An comes to him who waits, so
 runs an old saw. and the patrons of
 the Pon theatre have been waiting
 all season to see Joe Eggenton cast lin a role other than heavy or what
 are called 'svillian's' role. Not but
 what MT. Eggenton is the best heavy man now playing stock but he is q 7mfgntt consistently good actor in
 whatever role he essays. MT. Eggea-
 ton has c chance this week in "A
 Message From Mars and as the boys cay believe me- he puts one over. 4He is the messenger and his DOT ttrayal of the weird role is one of the
 best ever seen here. If messengers ifrom Mars could accomplish the good ithat this particular messenger does.
 in the play, few more arrivals
 would be quite welcome. Apart from Eplete with good comedy and it is so vastly different from most any other ,play that it is a relief. It is little fwonder that William Hawtrey played t1t over five hundred nights in Lon- idon and three hundred in New York
 and its packing them in at Polls this Iweek.
 It simply tells the story of a selfish lchap devoted to astronomy and not interested in charity or any oth er virtue. He fails asleep and dreams that he receives a message from Mars. IThe dream is acted out in a skillful Fway and in the final act we see the
 result Of a good vivid dream in the kaood that the dreamer is made to do. tOf course Mir. Eggenton shines parti- tcularly but MT. Ince gives a splendid portrayal of the selfish chap, egotisti- kcal to a marked degree. It is one of fthe most congenial roles that Mr. Ince has been seen in this season. Miss Hollinger. a most capable Heading woman plays the leading tfeminine role and the new character woman no less a distinguished ac- tress that Adeline Stanhope Wheat croft show marked talent as becomes a woman who has directed the Elm pire School of Acting. John Junior, { Frank Kirke and the other favorit as are. ccngenially cast and the local factors, Jack Altman, Eddie Healey land John Mccarthy are in the cast and show evidence of Broadway tall ! ent in their respective roles. Antoin- cite Rochte and Gordon Deaine, who are big favorites here as we'll as Miss Brill also give good portrayals of the roles assigned. The scenery is the most pretentious yet seen in a stock production and the singing of Jack Altman and the Singing Ushers is a treat. Likewise the showing of baby, pictures in the Baby Show contest is karousing interest and the voting for the most popular baby goes merrily On.
 There is a splendid advance sale of seats for the remainder of the week and the production promises to be the most successful of the season.

BODY IS TOO MUCH IGNORED
Herbert Spencer on tho Proper Bal
anoe That Should Me Maln-
talned In Education.

Nature is a strict accountant; and II
you demand of her In one direction
more than she is prepared to lay out
she balances the account by making
q deduction elsewhere. II you insist
on premature or undue growth OF any
one part she will, with more or less
protest, concede the point; but that
she may do your extra work she must
leave some of her more important
work undone. In primitive times,
when aggression and defense were the
leading social activities, bodily vigor,
with its accompanying courage, were
the great desiderata; and then educa-
ton was almost wholly physical; men,
tai education was little cared for, and,
indeed, was often treated with con-
tempt. But now the muscular power
is OF use for little else than manual
labor, while social success Of nearly
every kind depends much on mental
power, our education has become al
most exclusively mental. Instead Of
respecting the body and ignoring the
mind, we now respect the mind and
ignore the body. Both these attitudes
are wrong We do not sufficiently re-
alize the truth that as, in this life OF
ours, the physical underlies the men,
tai, the mental must not be developed
at the expense OF the physical. The
ancient and modern conception must
be combined.-Herbert Spencer.
