The popularity of the little park at
the junction of High and Market
streets is shown more than ever, this
season. There is hardly an hour in
the day or evening when someone is
not enjoying a rest unaer the large
shade trees. In the evenings, hardly
a seat is vacant.
Not only do the grown people enjoy
the little open space provided by the
city, but children romp and play on
the grass and have a delightful time.
Many nurses and mothers, out for
a walk, make the park the objective
point anti sometimes four and five:
baby carriages are found there at one
time.
The,pleasure derived from a small
park, like this one, only shows in a |
small way, what enjoyment everyone |
Jave if a place like the West
was turned into a publio
9 ground. The claim that it
9e patronized by only a certain
! peoplo would be unwarranted
rly evefv class and nationality 1
found enjoying the city hall;
park during a single day. As Perth 1
Amboy becomes more thickly popu-;
lated and more families divide a
single house between them, the more
necessary becomes a place where these
people can go to be out of doors,
where children can play and not be in
the street. In fact, the time is not
far distant when a public park will
be a necessity for Perth Amboy and j
what more appropriate spot could be
found than what is now known as the
Westminster'! It has a historical
value to this city which is priceless.
A reminder of colonial days, it should ^
be perpetuated until it crumbles with
f But, asiae from the historical as
sociations tlie place is ideal for a
park. There is ample room within
the grounds for baseball diamonds,
for the smaller boys, tennis courts,
oroquet. grounds and plenty of old
trees from which swings could be
hung. There are many quite nooks
for benches and seats. The old build
ing wonld draw hundreds of visitors
for there are few loft like it in the
country. Will not the city fathers
give this matter serious thought ? Is
there not some historical organization
to take the matter up? Are not the
citizens of Perth-Amnoy patriotic
enough to subscribe to a fund for the
purchase of the site ? Within a short
time the old ministers will leave the
premises, and then what V
The attention of the Chamber of
Commerce is called to the advertise
ment on page 8 of yesterday’s edition
of the Evening News in which a New
York firm wants a factory site of from
500 to 1,000 acres for a “large indus
trial enterprise.” It must have rail
road connections and be accessible by
water from New York. This reads as
though Perth Amboy was just the
place for it to locate. By active work
on the part of our industrial men,
this enterprise might be brought here.
Perth Amboy wants additions of this
kind. This opportunity should not be
allowed to slip.
Judging from the number of Salt
Water Days that have been celebrated
this season it really looks as though
every resort in the State is trying to
revive the day, but that each resort
hart selected a different day and some
are having three or four dates. Salt
Water Day has been a great occasion
in years past and the public generally
can stand having the celebration
spread out a little more and not quite
so strenuous all at once.
Trlnmph of a Duck.
A little fox terrier elaborately deco
rated with ribbons and bows was a vis
itor at the Houston club, University
of Pennsylvania, one afternoon just be
fore the close of the college term. He
■was accompanied by two fashionably
dressed young women who were in
specting the different apartments.
Itthile they were viewing the gymna
sium and bowling alleys in the base
ment an old white duck, the mascot of
the club, spied the dog, and, believing
him to be entirely out of place, wad
dled forward to remonstrate. The ter
rier made an onset, and, dodging him,
the duck plunged into the pool, closely
followed by the dog. Here, however,
She duck, being in her element, had the
advantage of her opponent, and began
pecking the dog on the head. The
young women thought the dog would
surely be drowned and piteously begged
some one to rescue it. Prof. Kistler,
the instructor in swimming, who was
standing near, gallantly jumped in and
grnlled out the vanquished animal. The
dog’s owner thanked him profusely,
'and, taking her pet in her arms,"quickly
left the building. The old duck climbed
sedately out of the pool, and. giving ut
terance to a series of triumphant
qilacks, Strutted around in a manner
that p^pinly Indicated her satisfaction.
Popple* 2,000 Year* Old.
The extraordinary resuscitating pow
er of light has received a very curious
Illustration in the silver mines at Lau
rium. The mines had been abandoned
more than 2,000 years ago as unworka
ble, and consisted for the most part of
. the ’ slag” produced by the working of
the miners. An enterprising English
man discovered that the mines con
tained plenty of silver, which could
easily be removed by the superior mod
ern appliances. He discovered, how
ever, something far more valuable than
the silver, viz., some poppies of A spe
cies which had disappeared for
turies, the seed of which had lain^Bt
uant beneath the slag for 2,000
When the slag was removed to the fur
nace, the next visit to the mine found
the entire space covered with a most
gorgeous show of poppies. After their
20 centuries' rest they had bloomed as
vigorously as ever, without the aid of
a single drop of water or any restorative
other than the rays of the sun.—Phila
delphia Ledger,
The Telephone In Europe.
Much improvement has taken place
In the telephone communication be
tween southern Scandinavia, Denmark
and northern Germany. It is now pos
sible to telephone over these wide
areas for a charge of 25 cents, which
compares favorably with the fee of
two dollars for three minutes on the
much shorter line between Paris and
London. For ten cents more the state
telephone companies of Scandinavia
and Germany now undertake to inform
beforehand the person whose presence
is desired at the other end of the w'ire
in an international conversation.—
Electrical Journal.
WlreleMs Telephony.
M. Maiche, a French inventor, has
made some experiments with wireless
telephony in the forests at St. Germain.
The transmitter was placed on the top
of a house, hut connected to the ground
in the manner of a lightning rod. A
thousand yard3 distant two poles 9C
feet apart were connected together by
wire, and had a telephone receiver in
circuit. Sounds from the transmitter
were plainly heard in it. Receivers oh
the line of transmission do not catch
the message.
Wlint He Deserved,
“You must not imagine,” she said
"that X would be willing to sit out her.;
aloflf with you if you were not so bifj
and strong, and able to pick me up i4
your arms as If I were a mere child—ii|
case anything happened.”
Then because nothing happened she
told her friends that he was dull-witted
and probably had a soul like a withered
