About nine O'Clock on Wednesday
night the body of John Burd was found
in Quarry street, Lambertville, with

was found at George Banchoff's barn, a
half mile further on the load leading out
of town towards his home in West Am
well township.
Mr.. Burd had been seen in town some
time before. and was in the habit of COM
ing to the place frequently, as he was a
farmer residing on his own farm about
five miles away, where he had lived for
about seven years since he removed there
from Hopewell township in Mercer
county.

HOW 70 Cook a Steak.

CN y OoVA . 0N~s' aHH. q
An old bachelor, who thinks he knows
something about cooking beefsteak,
says
Now, if you only knew how to cook a
steak to make it good that would do, but
it always makes me sick to see a woman
cook a steak. She invariably puts her
frying fan on the stove, and puts in a
chunk of grease about as big as my fist,
and when it is hot enough to begin to
crackle she puts in her beef, and never
thinks of covering it. The smoke and
steam from it goes up to the very ceiling.
After she cooks it this way until it begins
to look like an old rubber shoe sole she
calls it done. When you go to eat it There
is no more taste in it than a chip. Now,
If you want a good bit. of steak, have q
clear. hot fire, set your clean, empty pan
on a spot, cover it up, then pound your
steak, and when your pan is very hot lay
in your steak, and cover quickly.
AS soon as it has crisped enough to let
go its hold on the pan, turn over and
cover quickly, turn again as at first, and
continue to do so about every two min
utes until you have turned it about six or
eight times. Have a hot buttered dish
ready for it and lay it in; add a sprinkling
of pepper, salt and sugar, and cover
tightly. Now, If you wish a gravy, put a
bit of butter in your pan. When hot, rub
in a pinch of flour, and a small teacupful
of boiling water, let it boil O. few minutes,
then put in a gravy boat instead of put
ting it over your beef to draw out the
juice. Now try this plan just once and
you will see you women know nothing
about cooking O good steak.

Who Told Him SOP

We hear quite an interesting little
campaign story concerning MI. Ben
nington Bedle, Ex-Governor Bodies
son. 1t says that in the course OF a
recent discussion of the situation he
emphatically offered to bet $50 that
Leon Albeit could not be elected Gov
ernor, no matter who the Republican
candidate might be.
HE cannot possibly be elected, :
says Mr.. Bedle. DO you suppose the
corporations in this State would allow
him to VIM"
Mr.. Bedle's remarks were quite pub
licly made in this city, a number OF
gentlemen heard them, and they
have been quite widely quoted.
There is now a very general
curiosity as to the. source of Mr..
Bedle's confidence. Who gave him
the information regarding the corpor-
ations upon which he bases his judg-
ment respecting the result of the con-
test?
Many people are asking this ques-
ton, and we have considerable curios-
ity upon the subject ourselves.

Suspicious Manmnyres.

Adolph Sands, of East Fourth street
New York, and Bernard Worker, of No.
las Forsyth street, in the same city, were
arraigned before Justice Stilsing this
morning for disorderly conduct. Detec-
tive Morris testified that they came into
the Pennsylvania station, separated;
worked their way through the crowd and
met again. After they had repeated their
manoeuvres several times, Morris con-
cluded to arrest them. The men said that
they were strangers to each other and
were on legitimate business. They were
held for further examination.

AMUSEMENTS.
Academy of Music.

One of the most striking productions
Of the dramatic season is the strong
comedy-drama, Shadows of a Great
City, to be seen at the Academy next
week. The scenes of the play are
laid in and about New York city, and
the motive is the misfortunes of the
child of the discarded daughter of a
millionaire, love and honor figuring in
the play as well as suffering and crime.
The scenic effects, which in
clude inside views of a pawn
brokers' shop, of the Penitentiary on
Blackwell's Island, of a New York
millionaire's mansion and Of a Harlem
River boathouse, with a view of the
East River, will make the piece a ego"
with those who enjoy the intricacies
of double sets and revolving scenes.
Miss Annie Ward Tiffany will fill her
original role of Biddy Roman, the big
hearted Irish washerwoman. Miss
Rose Tiffany as Annie and Helen
Standish, George r. Edeson as Jim
Farren and other capable actors make
up the cast.
Pretty Girls and ''The Drum Major"
No prettier scene has ever been wit
messed in the Casino, New York, than
the marching of the girls in the third
act of THE Drum Major.n Since the
first representation the evolutions
have been condensed, and a triple
encore is demanded nightly. In
c~isions, interpretations and trans
positions have had n decided effect
and Mr.. Rudolph Aronson is confident
that the opera is destined for a sue
cessful run. At every performance so
far the house has been filled to over
flowing, and the heavy advance sale
of seats assures a continuance of
remunerative business for some time
to come.

REGULAR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
For Governor,
LEON ALBEIT,
Juggling with the Platform.

ICh INC AA1ehoAh
The peculiarly dishonest position of
the Republican partyhas been proven,
more conspicnously than ever by
the abominable fraud perpetrated
upon it's readers by the Trenton State
Gazette. That paper has taken to
printing sections from the plat
form with all the qualifying and
modifying clauses left ont.
It's effort is to show that the
party has made a clear declaration
npon the liquor question. This can
not possibly be done with the text as
it stands and SO the Gazette, shutting
its eyes to all. laws of journalistic
honor, garbles and prunes the clause
until it looks something like a precise
declaration.
The entire Republican press is blue
over the platform. An effort is made
to keep up appearances, but the long
and painful efforts made to prove that
the sentences devoted to the liquor
question mean something show how
keenly the editors feel the weakness
of the position. 1t is out of their
power to make the situation much
better; but they are trying to cover
up the breach with a cloud of words
and phrases, so that the public may not
clearly perceive the party's vulner-
ability.
1t is a pity that no two of them can
agree upon the meaning of the docu-
ment however. 1t is true hone of them
attempts a definition. That would be
dangerous. They throw out vague
hints as to the great things it may
mean. But all the hints lead in diff
ferent directions.
The situation is, of course, a desper-
ate one for the Republican party. Its
platform does not admit of explana-
ton, because the only explanation of
it is that it is an effort to resurrect a
dead issue, and to do so without com
uniting the party as to which side it
will stand on. The party would fain
take up the cause of liquor, but it
dares not. 1t would fain advocate
prohibition, but it is afraid. 1t is try
ing to deceive both interests now, with
the intention of selling and abandon
ing them both after the election.
Jerseymen have some reputation
for shrewdness. We wonder if they
will go back on their record this
election and let General Sewell play
them for fools?

THE EDITORS SAY
Most Dishonest of All.

1t is noticeable, however, that in
commenting on the resolution relative
to the liquor question, the Gazette
leaves off the tail in order to approve
of the rest of the declaration. 1t
claims to find in the resolution a bold
and unqualified endorsement of the
local option act of 1888. But this re-
suit is secured by emitting the quail
flying phrase relative to the popular
approval. The resolution reads
The Republican party of New Jersey stands
committed by its platform and legislative enact
ments to the most thorough measures that aciu
be sustained By the people.
Up in Essex they say that the loss
of the Legislature of 1889 was due to
the refusal of the people to sustain
the law of 1888, and therefore that
this resolution does not endorse the
local option act.
Here, in Mercer and in South Jer-
sey, the Republican papers say that
the act Is endorsed, and that if the
Republicans should carry the Legis-
lature they will re-enact it.
But such a double-faced declara-
ton can please nobody and must put
the whole State IN it guards against
entrusting with power a party which
is afraid to honestly say what they in
tend to do with it. - Trenton True
american.
Juggling with Words.
There is local option sure enough
but the name is carefully excluded
frem the platform. The convention
adopted the substance and ran away
from the shadow. 1t was too cow
ardly to give a name to it's own prin-
ciple, and sought to disguise it in a
mass of verbiage.
Could anything be more craven and
dishonest than this sentence from the
platform, 1.-THE attitude of the two
parties on this question is SO clearly
marked that no intelligent voter can
be deceived by any omission of either
to makea declaration on the subject"
The Democratic party has never at
tempted to deceive. 1t passed the
Werts law last winter, and, in doing
so, took its stand for a reasonably
high license. There is no installing
its position. The Republican party,
after declaring that the only issue this
year is local option, does not dare
name local option in its platform.
In its juggling with words and
terms the Republican platform COM
mits the party to local option and the
omission of the mere name detectives
no intelligent voter The ''acts of
| the Republican minority Of 1889" are
unqualifiedly endorsed. This is in
tended for convenient Interpretation
according to locality, but as the Re-
publican minority last winter solidly
| voted against the repeal OF local OPP
ton, the endorsement of that princi-
pie is as direct and unmistakable as if
| local option had been named.
Now we shall see how the voters of
East Jersey like a local option plat
form and candidate and how South
Jersey and the Prohibitionists relish
the cowardly evasion which kept all
mention of local option out OF the Re
publican platform of principles, p

The coal dealers dodge is generally
to hold out hopes of cheap fuel olong
that people postpone laying in their
supply until the prices jump to top
notch. The public had better make
up their minds that coal will be
cheap so long as trusts flourish under
the fostering care of the Republican
party.
