the cities of the State will be gla
tliat a majority of;the property owner
along Washington street favor tli
pavement. This is enconraging t
others who are anxious to see Pert
Amboy advance, but who have hesi
tated to take any step toward an
improvement, fearing the oppositio
would overwhelm the attempt. It i
to be hoped that the aldermen wil
heed the request of the majority an
take the necessary steps tonight to ge
the pavement laid before the winte
sets in. With Washington stree
paved from Staten Island sound t
New Brunswiok avenue, it will be tli
first thoroughfare in Perth Amboy t
be paved its entire length.
When County Clerk Conger finishe
his work in this city, Friday mghl
he had issued second papers ,to 1C
men who desired to become America
oitizens and.about 150 others took or
first papers, thus expressing their ir
intion of becoming citizens of thi
untry. There are few cities in th
tate where this record can be sui
sed. Most of these men will b<
me voters in Perth Amboy. The
e settled here and many of tliei
are heads of families. It is absolute
ly essential that their children sha
receive a good English educatior
With such a constantly increasin
population, the publio school become
i the most important institution for
j Perth Amboy and the work of solving
1 the school problem, already so admir
s ably carried on, should not be allowed
e to rest until not a scholar is turned

In its desire to have the Westminst
? er purchased and kept as it is, a re
minder of colonial days, the Evening
News has been publishing interviews,
s
1 giving the popular opinion on the
1 matter. Only one person opposed to
the proposition was found, but that
does not necessarily mean that all
^ favor the purchase. Realizing that it
will be impossible to see everyone on
this matter, the News offers its col
umns for a full disoussion and anyone
3
who desires to send in their ideas,
will be given every consideration.
Today the News publishes a communi
^ cation which is of interest. The
’ writer does not agree with the News,
5 arguing that the city has enough to
3 do to take care of the needs of today.

It was an important event for St.
b Mary’s parish yesterday. The laying
a of the corner stone of their new church
- marks the completion of the first part
- of the work. The walls will now
y mount higher and higher until the
i handsome edifice is completed. The
- success of the exercises yesterday is a
1 matter of congratulation both to the
. congregation and to the pastor, Rev.
i* B. T. O’Connell, under whose direc
s tion such a noble work was started.
FIXING LENGTH STANDARDS.
How a Coimlnnt I nit of MeiiNnrciiient
la Fixed and Maintained
In Huttlaiid.
Preparations are being made for de
positing parliamentary copies of the
imperial standards of length along the
floor of Westminster hall, says the Lon
don Telegraph, of recent date.
The delicate undertaking, which It
being carried out in its Initial stages by
■the first commissioner of works, will be
taken over on its completion by the
•tandards department of the board o(
trade as the responsible authority in
■uch matters. The standards, it is un
derstood, will be identical with those
which were placed some years ago in
Trafalgar square. There are. In fact
four sets, the first ranging from one foot
to an imperial yard, while the second Is
a pole or perch, the third a chain of 66
feet, and the fourth the standard meas
ure of 100 feet. Students of history
.scarcely need being reminded that King
Edward decreed that there should be
but one standard measure—that kept at
Winchester—for all England, and Mag
we. Ciharta contained a similar nrovislon
with regard to weight. Strict enforce
ment of the law was found impracticable
tor generations, a great number of cus
tomary weights and measures contin
uing in use. especially in transactions
delating to land, corn and wool. Finally,
however, parliament insisted upon the
observance of general uniformity. Since
1826 an imperial system of weights and
measures has been in vogue throughout
the kingdom and an act passed in 1878
inflicts heavy penalties for using weights
and measures not recognized by the law.
Naturally, the "man in the street” re
quires to know how the standards are
ascertained and established. Chief
among the earliest standards of length
«were the palm, the foot and the cubit.
l*There were two leading cubits—the na
tural cubit of Egypt, Chaldea. Phoenicia
'and Greece, and the royal cubit of Mem
phis. Tht Greek foot passed into Italy,
sphere it w>.s divided Into 12 inches. The
Romans usea a three-foot ulna, while the
Saxons adopted an ell. or yard of 36
inches, based on the Roman foot. This
measurement remained in England, al
though the lapse of time saw various
modifications in the ell. So matters
.progressed until 1760, when a copy of an
old yard measure found in the tower of
London was made for a select committee
of the house of commonsXand in 1824
this copy was legalized by Varliament,
with a direction that "in the Vent of its,
being lost the standard should\e recov
ered by making ithe length of^hmean
time second’s^endulum in the latitude
qtLoudoji inli vacuum at sea level
to 39.1-393 inches.” Unfortunately, the
standard disappeared at the great fire
which destroyed the houses of parlia
ment in 1834, and, as the committee sub
sequently appointed by the astronomer
royal reported against the accuracy of
the pendulum method, the duty of restor
ing the lost standard was intrusted to a
royal commission. It was not till 1854
that the task wae accomplished. Taking
the best secondary evidence available,
the commissioners produced a standard
bar of gun metal, the distance between
two lines on which, crossing gold studs,
is one yard at 62 degrees Fahrenheit and
30 inches barometric pressure. Author
ized copies of this legalized standard are
preserved at the mint, the royal ob
servatory at Greenwich, Trafalgar
square and elsewhere, so that the addi
tion now being made in Westminster
hall Is a precaution which experiencehas
shown to be necessary in a matter vitally
affecting the commercial life of the na
tion.
»n Medieval Citicn.
There can De no doubt that one rea
son w-hy cities did not grow so rapidly
in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries as in the nineteenth is thi
excessively high death rate that pre
vailed during the earlier period. Tht
flood of immigration, mighty as it was,
did little more than fall victims tc
grievous sanitary conditions. From tht
facts that can be obtained it seems ta
have been universally true that al
most up to the beginning of the nine
teenth century the death rate of tht
large cities exceeded the birth rate
This was not because the birth rate
was abnormally low, but because tht
death rate was abnormally high. Ir
the medieval city both birth rate and
death rate were far higher than ai
present. Infant mortality must havt
mounted to a grewsome height. Tht
uncleanliness and overcrowding of city
dwellers, now largely relegated to tht
slums of our great cities, was the nor
mal state of nearly all classes of so
ciety in the London and Paris of Louh
and Elizabeth.—Prof Edwin O. Jordan
in Popular Science Monthly.
He Wouldn't HIxk It.
“There is one question I want to ask
you, George, dear,” said the dear girl
who had promised to merge her future
with him. “When we are married will
you expect me to bake my own
bread?”
“It is up to you to do as you like
about It, darling,” replied the diplo
matic candi4atfi for matrimonial hon
■^rs, “but I certainly shall insist upon
jtour not baking mine."—Cincinnati
IN FASHION'S REALM.
Dainty Acceaaorirs an«l Pretty Ma
terials for Fall nn«l Winter
Costume*.
There is a fad abroad for wearing
tiny fans in the sleeve, a la Japonaise.
In tne shops the little spang!"d fans
so much In vogue are already called
sleeve fans, although they are mostly
intended to be swung from long chains,
reports the New York Post.
The fall and winter street suits will
be made with skirts of instep length,
and the long fitted coat. This coat in
various adaptations will be the prevail
ing model for street and carriage cos
tumes. Its skirt grows longer, quite
to the knee. Indeed, and below it for
dress wear.
Among the prettiest materials of the
year are the new silk grenadines. They
are as sheer as gauze, and have a fine
satiny finish. White grenadine with a
pattern of strewn roses formqd the ma
terial of a lovely dancing gown. It was
simply made over pink taffeta and had
a bertha and sleeve caps of point lace,
and a girdle with long ends of black vel
vet ribbon.
Among dainty accessories to the toi
lette are many scarfs, stoles and capes,
but none prettier than the plain, long
scarfs of liberty gauze which come in
a variety of delicate colors as well as
black and white. These scarfs, although
a vard or more in lensrth. are so fine that
they fold up in very small space. A
black one for mourning has a border on
all sides of black marabout feathers.
The fashionable fur next season, say
the importers, will be mole. Already it
is fashionable in Europe, and American
furriers have placed immense orders for
It. Moleskin makes up well, and wears
as well as squirrel, while in effect it is
far handsomer. It has a rich, shaded
look, changing from light to dark, mak
ing it both handsome and becoming. Er
mine will be almost twice as expensive
as it was last winter, the catch having
been very small, and the demand for it
very large.
The full skirt is certainly coming back.
Not a few gowns are being made with
long, straight skirts gathered all around
the waist lipe and falling in full folds
to the feet in nun-like severity of line.
Skirts are a very uncertain quantity this
season, and the economical woman who
expects to wear some of her gowns an
other summer or into the autumn is at
a loss how to have them cut. The
tight skirt, flaring at the bottom, the
ruffled and draped skirt, the sun plait
ed, the tucked, and now the full skirt
all seem equally correct. The probabil
ities are that some form of fullness
will soon banish the sheath effect to
which we have become accustomed. It
will be wise In buying handsome gowns
to buy a few extra yards of material, to
permit of alterations later.
HIS EFFORTS UNAVAILING.
Yonth with Distasteful Hair Deter
mines to CbniiKe its Color
at All Hazards.
Many and varied are the tales told of
the efforts of some girls and women, too,
for that matter, to change the color of
their hair to some hue more desirable
than that of nature’s bestowing, but
it is not often that one hears of a boy
of 16 wasting any gray matter worrying
over his hair, whatever interest he may
otherwise take in his personal appear
ance. There is one boy of that age in
town, however, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, who thinks that nature might
have been more kind to him and who
strenuously objects to his Titian hued
locks. To no avail have his mother and
sisters assured him that his curly hair is
“a perfectly lovely auburn shade and
they just wish they had it.” Everything
in the way of tonic and hair oil that the
boy could obtain he has secured and
used, without in the least dimming its
brightness, but he capped the climax by
his latest exploit. From some source
or other he got a bottle of ebony colored
dye, warranted to take the fire out of
the reddest hair that ever grew on hu
man head and to color the glowing locks
inky black instead. Fearing discovery
■while in the act of changing red to
black the boy daubed the mixture on
hurriedly and without the aid of a mir
ror. Then he went to bed. The next
morning he faced his astonished rela
tives at the breakfast table with the
front part of his hair a dingy black,
showing an occasional strand of red,
and the remainder of his locks as bright
as they ever were. Explanations fol
lowed, so did a prolonged interview
with the barber and a lecture on the
folly of amateur efforts at hair painting.
Nothing further has been attempted by
the boy for a month or so, but he has
not given up hopes of success by and
by, and declares that he’s not going to
keep on having red hair when he’s a
man, no matter what he has to do to
change it.”
Grilled Sardine*.
Sardines grilled in the chafing dish is
a good course with which to begin a Sun
day night tea in warm weather. Drain
the oil from a box of fair-sized sardines,
and when the blazer is hot lift each care
fully Into it on the blade of a knife.
Saute the sardines slightly, turning
carefully. Sprinkle over each a few
drops of lemon Juice, and serve them on
small squares of toasted bread or sand
wich style, between saltine crackers.—

Chinese Church Choir.
San Francisco has a real Chinese choir
It is a church choir complete in all its
parts and composed of young Chinese
vocalists, who are accompanied on the
organ by a Chinese organist. It sings1
to a purely Chinese congregation com
! posed of *»en, women and children. It
! was In 1886 that a Chinese branch of the
! Presbyterian church was formed In San
| Francisco. It was found extremely hard
' to bring the men and women together foi
I worship. There was a religious and so
| cial chasm that the men shrunk from
i crossing. But concessions were made and
the women were allowed to worship be
hind screens and curtain. Prejudices
were lost as time wore on and in 1887
curtains and screens begun to be lowered
and fianally to disappear. But the men
kept to one side of the church and the
women to the other. But the choir marks
one of the most positive advances, for in
it young men and young women stand
side by side and their voices blend sweet
ly, rhythmically and (Jevotionally in
hymns of praise.—N. Y. Tribune.
China**! Population.
The official census recently published
hv 1h.» imnprlfll Irpasurv rffnnrtmpnt cf
China is of no little interest, since it
furnishes a method of determining just
how many “teeming millions” there are*
It appears that the celestial empire con
tains 426,000,000 inhabitants and that
China proper—the eighteen provinces—
contains 407,000,000. The number of
inhabitants per square kilometer varies
from 201, in Honan, to 32 in Kunsou,
and is, on the average, 103 in the 18
provinces. In Mongolia the number
Is 0.7; in Manchuria, 9; in Yibet, 5, and
in Turkestan, 0.8. For comparison we
may recall that Germany has 105 inhab
itants per square kilometer; Belgium,
220, ami the United Kingdom. 130.
