The dominies who. at the Methodist Min
isters' Conference on Thursday, complained
that they cannot make their sermons as
attractive as the Sunday newspapers. might
better have kept their mouths shut. None
but dull and sleepy and prosy old blowers
who have the faculty neither of thinking a
new thought nor of dressing afresh an old
thought, ever make the complaint and it
is their own admission against their effect
iveness as pulpit orators. A bright preacher
is never doomed to talk to empty benches.
Their fulminations against the Sunday
newspaper are as weak as they are foolish.
For, in spite of them, the Sunday paper
will grow and be read with interest by
everybody including the people who go to
church because it is the proper thing to do,
but snore all through the half-hour devoted
TO tho sermon.

Hoboken has generally been regarded as
the most unhealthy section of Hudson
county, and ne ono can go through the
''meadow district" without reaching that
conclusion F.; yet the Board of Health
statistics show that the deaths in Hoboken
has been more largely reduced in Hoboken
from the previous year, than in any other
port of the county. This is only more
evidence that you never can tell much
about matters that you don't know any
thing about.

The trial of the suit for the recovery of
money due on recent gift made to Free
holder Schinzel promises to show judicially
how sometimes subscriptions to gifts for
men in public place, with particulars of
which the papers are filed from time to
time, are really in the nature of brides;
and it may show how not untrequently the
man who gets the gift helps to buy it him.

The sentence of Ogilby to State prison is

punishment for his crimes.

Readers of the SUNDAY TArrLER in the
upper districts of the city will find no
fault with their newsdealers if their TAT
Tier failed to reach them on time last
Sunday. The TATTLER's new press worked
SO viciously that we were unable to deliver
papers in due season to some of the news
men in that section.

The desperation of the British press in
its efforts to defeat Home Rule is shown
by the recent publication, in review of
high standing, of an article charging the
Hyde Park murders to Parnell and Egan.
The charge against Parnell is inferential,
it is true, but it is made, none the less.

1t goes without the saying that Justice
Lane will render verdict against DR.. Wat
son in the pending suit against him. JUS
toe Lane is expected to make return to the
s. P. G. A. for the crumbs of work they
cast to him. But we will wager that on the
appeal which is certain to follow, Justice
Lane will be overridden by an unanimous
majority.

Some members of the Hoboken Common
Council seem anxious to visit Trenton at
the expense Of the State. Mayor Kerr
having vetoed number of bills which
were Illegally ordered paid, advised the
creditors to sue the city in order to obtain
their money in legal form, that being the
only course open. But when the Board
was notified that the suits had been COM
menced, five of the members very ceolly
adopted resolution directing the Corpora
tion Attorney to file relicta in all such
cases. This was just as much malfeasance
as the passage of the original resolution
and punishable in the same way. But the
Mayor will probably veto the resolution
and compel the city to defend the suits.
This is the ever glorious anniversary of
the birth Of independence, and we trust
cur people will observe it in proper spirit
even If they celebrate such day % 1t de-
serves, But there is one thing they can do
refrain from using firearms and abstain
ing from fiery beverages to the extent of
getting drunk. One is the source of many
accidents and the other of many fights
which terminate mans freedom temper
arily by building the walls of the city
prison about him. And don't celebrate too
much to-day. Save your patriotism and
fire-crackers until tomorrow. P. S. This
is day that should make the Conted eracy
rejoice that the rebellion did not succeed.

There is no doubt that the gentlemen to
whose management the early closing move
msntis intrusted are thoroughly in earnest
the merchants as well as their en-
ployees-and it will be enforced if there is
power enough in public sentiment to en-
force it. They have resorted to all expedi-
ents to induce the public to make their
purchases before eight o'clock in the even
ing, and now we say it to those who do not
know it yet, that if they do not do their
buying before that hour they'll have to
wait till the next day.

The official hangman of Essex has been
sent to State prison. If Newark should
have an execution during his term arrange
ments will probably be made to send the
murderer to Trenton for execution. If
that cannot be done the date of the SEN
tence may possibly be deferred until Van
Elise gets home again. Vans plant on re-

SUNDAY. JULY A, 1886.

The North Hudson reporters of the local
papers are taking it again; and every day
or two they spin baseless yarns about
Union Hill an6 West Hoboken sensations
that exist only in their Imagination. They
seem to have entered into compact lately
with Recorder Schleicher, to permit them
to use his name to give the color of truth
to their lurid lies. 1t is not unlikely that
Recorder Schleicher has authorized them
to invent whatever stories they please, and
to. use his name in telling them. He gets
pile of free advertisement out of it, and
so finds his recompense. The scheme is
not new one. We remember certain
Justice in Hoboken who used to spend his
time in inyenting lies for Hoboken repor-
ter of the Journal, and then divide with
the reporter the money he received for
them. 1t was easy enough for the Justice
to keep check onthe swindling reporters
dishonesty. He knew the rate per column
at which the reporter was paid, and had
only to measure the length of one of his
yarns after it had appeared IN print to
determine what his share of the swag was.
The worst feature of the business was that
the reporter and the Justice were not the
only dishonest parties to the transaction.
The Journal was equally guilty because it
knew of the compact, and deliberately
palmed their fctions off on its readers as
gospel truths. The Journal seems to be at
its old trick again, with North Hudson as
the field fer its operations, and Recorder
Schleicher for its sponsor.

CAKE BAKING.
Tho Loaf-Cake Of tho Days Gone n.y.,
and How 10 IL Made.

Tho LDaf-Cake Of tho Days Zone By,
aud How u IL Made.
II has become the custom of late TO
bake almost all cake in a layer, and the
delicious loaf-cake Of our childhood has
almost entirely disappeared. It takes
less time and thought to make a layer
cake, and there Ia danger that genuine
.onf-cako making will become n lost art
Young cooks are found wondering how
It is possible to give to cake the tender.
ness and lightncss il used to have before
The days Of baking powders. Some tx.
periments were recently made, and II
was shown conclusiycly that stirring and
beating are more 10 be- depended on for
producing iino.graincd and delicate
cake than any quantity of butter, or
eggs, or powder. A cake wa made in
this way: Ono cup of sugar and half a
cup Of butter were stirred together until
light and creamy; one fresh egg was
broken and put in without beating. The
three ingredients were then rapidly
beaten for four minutes. n ~teacupful Of
sweet milk was added. with flayoring to
the taste; nearly two cups Of siftcd -four
were then put In, and one heaping tea.
spoonful Of baking powder. These were
all beaten together for five minutes. The
dough was baked in a buttered tin, In
n small loaf; the oven was hot, and in
n little over half an hour, with n steady
heat, the cake was done. When Il was
cold II was cut in square pieces; Il was
lemon yellow In color. with n golden
brown crust, aud Il was then submitted
TO a committee who did not know Of
what II was made, nor the process OF
making, and Il was pronounced deli.
cious and OF exquisite quality. There is
one thing about cake-making that Is
not generally known. A quantity Of
flour is given In a recipe, and YOU fol.
how the recipe closely. and tho result
Is not what you expected, for the rea.
son that there Is n vast difference in
flour. Some kinds Of flour seem to pos.
scss almost a fourth more ~thickening
power than other kinds, and il is a wise
precaution TO bake a spoonful Of dough
before you bake the cake. rs YOU can
then add more flour II Il Is necessary. or
can thin the dough with n little milk II
that Is needed. -Bosion BHdqeL.
