Another cool anti-cyclone, now cover-
ing Lake Superior, will probably move
southwestardly, skirted on the southeast
“ front by a slight depression now in Vir-
ginia, which will probably advance east-
northeastwardly, causing local rain on
the seaboard. A vast barometric trough
extends from Texas to Manitoba, with a
very decided storm center north of Moo-
tana. It will probably divide, the south-
ern part forming a separate storm
nucleus, moving east to-morrow. the
northern centre moving east-southeast
to-uight, with a “warm wave” in its
front. Temperature fell slightly in the
United States yesterday, except in the
southwest. The chief minimum report-
ed was 18 degrees, at Marquette, Mich;
the chief maximum 80 at Abilene, Tex.
In this district io-day fair to partly
cloudy weather will probably prevail,
with slight thermal changes and fresh
southerly winds, becoming variable, and
shifting to brisk northerly, with rain.
followed by clearing, colder weather.
On Sunday in this section and in New
England partly cloudy to fair, warmer
weather will probably prevail, with
northerly, shifting to easterly and
southerly winds, and on Monday warmer,
partly cloudy to fair weather, followed
by rain in this section generally.

Opinions of Business Ilsa as to What
should Isa Done With ‘l'hsiu.
There has been considerable talk of
late regarding the streets of South Nor-
walk and the prevailing opinion seems
to be that some big improvement should
be made in that direction. To satisfy
our own curiosity and for the informa-
mation of the public, a representative of
The Sentinel called upon a few of the
business men today and got their views
on the matter. All agree that some-
thing should be done if the city has any
pride whatever in its thoroughfares.
Robert H. Rowan believed that some
thing should be done at once. in his
opinion the best thing would be to give
cracked alone a thorough trial. It could
be brought here In schooners and a sup-
ply kept ln stock for repairing purposes.
New London had tried the system and
has the best roads in the state. He
thought it would he a good idea to put
cracked stone on Washington street and
in one season the success of it could
then be determined. Paving would cost
a large sum. the estimated cost of it
being $8.50 a rquars yard.
Christian Swartz said that the present
condition of our streets was an outrage.
He was in favor of paving perhaps Main
street from I". ll. Nash & Bros. to Havia
land street, Railroad Square,Washiogton
street to Water street and also a portion
of Water street. Bonds could be Issued
for $100,000 which ‘could be placed at
St per cent. By paving the streets,
whenever any pipe connections were to
beniade, the stories could be taken up
and replaced without any difliculty. If
we are to take a pride in our streets,
something should be done immediately.
John H. Ferris believed that the proper
thing to be done was to pave the streets
with Belgian pavements, but it was not
necessary that the work should be done
all at once. If 85,000 were expanded
yearly for ten years it would make a
satisfactory showrn g without being a
great burden on the taxpayers. Maca-
damizs was suitable for some cities but
the soil here was not of the right sort to
permit of that system. '
W. C. Quintard thought the debt of
the city was large enough without going
to any great ex like paving the
streets would be. t would be better to
take the surface of! the roads and get
down to hard pan, which would have to
be done in case the streets were macada-
mized. The streets were far above the
grade now and by getting them down
where they belonged, they would be in
good condition.
P. L. Cunningham was in favor of any
improvements but he believed they
should be done in a systematic manner.
He believed there was room for reform
in our street system and would heartily
favor any such movement.
Nelson Taylor believed it would be an
excellent thing if the borough would
macadamizs West Avenue to the city
line and then have the city macadamize
their part of the avenue. The business
portion of our streets should be paved.
Mr. Taylor suggested years ago that
Washington street be paved if not more
than for an experiment. The advantage
of such an improvement could be seen
at the close of a year, and other sections
could be done at different times, without
any great burden on the taxpayers. He
said if the hills had been paved years
ago the expense of keeping them in re-
pair would by this time have paid for
the improvement.
E. A. Woodward believed strongly in
macadamize. He said that if the
amount spent annually on our streets,
between $8,000 and $4,000, was expend-
ed on some one street, it would be only
a few years before the streets would be
in a fine condition. He couldn't con-
ceive how the streets could be in a worse
state than they are at present.
In his letter to the Board of Council-
men, Jan. 7,1884.ex-Mayor Richard H.
Golden gave the following opinion rela.
tive to the street department:
The expense of this department cone
tinues about the same from year to year,
and the streets are probably in as good
conditiooas ls possible under the pres- ’
out system. I believe, however, that a
new departure should be made 'in the
working of the streets, as they are very
far from satisfactory. Since the city
was organized—thirteen and a half
years ago—there has been expended in
this department about $29,000, a very
large sum considering the condition in
which the streets have been kept. With
a system of macadamiaing similar to
that adopted in many places, I unconfi-
dent that within a few years, and with
about the same expenditure per year as
now, many of the streets could be mac
adamized, after which the cost of keep-
ing them in repair would be small. The
first and main cxpenseto inaugurate this
system would be the purchase of a stone
crusher. A stationary crusher would
cost from “00 to $600, while one of like
capacity, mounted on wheels. together
with engine and boiler, would ooatabout
$1500. These machines will break 75
tons of stone per day, at a cost of from
15 to so cents per too, which, I believe,
is less than the cost of sand or gravel,
considering their present scarcity and
the mode of getting them. These crush-
era are used in New Haven, Providence
and many other places, where are to be
found the very best roads In the coun-
try. [call your attention to this mat-
ter believing that the adoption of the
system of macsdamlalag our streets
would be medicinal as wall as of res]

FAST DAY.
We do not enter the field as a kicker.
nor as a crank, but a secular paper sees
things and,“ sometimes people discover,
does some thinking of its own. The
clergy and many prominent laymen are
always ready to give the press good ad-
vice. ’Tts well that they do this. and
sometimes it would be good for the great
mass of church people to take a little of
this same advice from the press. Dr.
George Dana Boardman, of Philadelphia,
has recently said in a university sermon,
that “the American Press is the most
influential factor in American life.
What Crusar Augustus was to Rome,
Napoleon to France, or Peter to Russia.
that, the newspaper is to America."
lBut enough of this. The suggestion
that we have to make is that such an in-
stitution as the New England Past Day
ought to have some decent observance
by church people or be abandoned. As
it is at present it has degenerated into
a sort of dolers, dreamy, half-holiday
affair. A handfull outof all the churches
gather for worship, while the great mass
of people go forth to visit, drink, eat a
big dinner, attend a ball game or a dog
fight. The affairs of business are de-
ranged aud demoralized, and nobody
thinks very highly of the day.
Tlis fault lies with those who do
not give somekind of respectful atten-
tion to the day.
The holiday is all right, and some days
of this sort scattered like sunlight
through the cloudy days of our working,
toiling lives are good. The games and
recreation are all right in their place.
We report them because the press is only
a sounding board of everyday events.
But our idea is that the good people of
any community are the ones to guard
and honor this day. Years ago the state
government granted. or rather sanction-
ed, the Fast Day business, and gavo the
religious public the opportunity to make
what they would of it. Little by little
it has "got run down." as A. Ward used
to say, until scarcely {H.331- dy gives it
homage. Better then its overthrow and
respectful burial than this unseemly
death which it is dying.
We charge nothing for this Saturday's
preaching, and may give some more, be»
lieviug that the clergy and scores of
people in our churches will give unqual-
ified sanction to this idea.
Let everybody have and hold their own
idea, but whatever the idea, one thing is
sure, the less of dead form, useless,
empty and meaningless service with
which the world is weighted, the better.
As to Past Day, we would say, observe
it. or kill it.

Editor SENI'isrznz—Some days ago the
borough had a large special meeting at
which the Court of Burgesees were di-
rrcled to contract with the electric light
company to light its streets for five years
with sixty'five or more electric lights at
seventy-olive dollars each ayesr. provided
the electric light company accepted in
writing within three days. The com-
pany did accept.
This price is said to be lower than any
town in the Union, similiarly situated,
pays for its lights.
The “as company. which got together
an electric light plant, on paper, began
to throw doubts on the action of the
meeting. The vote was not really passed,
the nwcting had no power to contract
and could only authorize somebody to
contract for it, the time of payment was
not fixed, and other shadowy misgivings
arose. which impelled thirty citizens to
petition for another meeting to undo
what the first meeting had done.
About the same time the assessment
lists were handed in by the assessorsand
it was found that real estate was assessed
at an advance on the nominal values that
hadtbeeo the practice before.
The petition took great account of that
anlll held out hopes of relief from all
m that were not almost self-paying.
But if the meeting meddlea with the
assessment it will probably have to find
a less prudent man than the reigning
warden to sign the warrant, and a .far
rasher man than the clerk to make out
rate-bill. and after all, the taxes will be
uncollectable.
If it tries toundo the electric lightcou-
tract, it will fail to undo, and succeed in
making another, and so will have two
contracts on its hands.
If it lowers the rate of taxation the
Board of Belief may lower also the as-
sessments, and that would bring' to too
little revenue. If it leaves the rate where
it is, the Board of Belief may leave the
assessments where they are, and that
would bring’lo too much revenue. ,
Any action on any subject before the
meeting means mischief, confusion, and
expense.
Under all the circumstances, the safest
thing do would he to adopt as a sub—
stitute lutiou the Miltaoie shriek,
"Which way 1 fly h hall; myself-Ii hell. "

{‘Jlm. the Penman."
A. M. Palmer's name, used in connec-
tion with a dramatic performance, car-
ries With it a certain guaranty of artistic
fullness and of substantial merit that
makes It easy to predict success for any
of his enterprises. It is rarely safe to an-
ticipaie in matters theatrical, but when
fl manager has demonstrated his entire
honesty by never departing from the
high standard he has set for himself,
and upon which he wishes to base his
claims for public recognition and in—
dorsement, when year after year; cor-
recting mistakes honestly made, he has
maintained the superior quality of that
which he has to offer. In such instances
it is not rash or unwise to speak decisive-
ly in advance, even of positive informa-
tion, to express favorable opinion with-
out being in possession of data on which
to base such a prediction. In speaking
of “Jim, the Penman," moreover, to de-
scend from the general to the particular,
the element of doubt cuts no figure. Its
success is known, its merit incontestable.
It has won the approval of cultured au-
diences in the various large cities of the
country. whed presented by the people
who will be in the cast here, and there
is scarcely any reason to doubt that their
verdict will be ratified. We are pleased
to inform our readers that Mr. Palmer's
company will present “Jim the Penman”
at Music Hall, next Saturday evening.

and rest which he so greatly needs. Bish-
