GRUBB'S HABITAT.
The General Is Evidently One of PhiIa.
delphia's Leading Citizens.

From the Trenton Times.
The Emporium this morning gives the
Times an opportunity to show the former
how little it knows about General K. Burd
Grub, the man whom it asserts is not
eligible to the nomination for Governor
because he is not a resident of the State.
In the first place General Grubb was
not forced to decline the nomination as
one of the Republican Presidential Elec-
tors. And in the second place, the fact of
his being or not being a Jerseyman had
nothing to do with his case.
If the editor of the Emporium was not
afflicted with a painfully defective
memory he would call to mind the discus
sion of this matter at the time and it
would dawn upon him that General
Grubb declined the position Of Presi-
Dental Elector simply because he then
occupied the office of Department Com
mander of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie of New Jersey, an organization that he
refused to nave even the appearance OF
dragging into politics.
If the editor of the Emporium will
only refrain from writing any more on
this subject he will do as we'll as he can
under the circumstances He has already
made two deplorable plumbers, and now
that this fact has been made plain to him
it ought to have the effect of restraining
him from further discussion OF a matter
of which he has no knowledge.

The Assessors Books.

-
The transfer of the books and maps
connected with the city tax assess
ment from the old Assessors to the
new Tax Commissioners reveals a state
of affairs which would be amazing if
every one were not aware of the
system OF abuse which the old charter
represented.
OF the old Assessors, Mr.. Reardon
of the Third District alone comes out
with honor. Here is his record:-"He
turned in all his books this yesterday
afternoon. They were all in good
condition and carefully written up to
date
Next best appears to be Mr.. Laws,
of whom this is said
From Assessor Laws, of the Fifth District,
there came a book which Commissioner Law
renee recognized as one he had made in 1885
when he was Assessor. But in justice to Mr..
Laws it should be stated that the book, though
an old one, bears evidence of having been cor.
rected to date.
But if you want a specimen of cool
cheek. let US commend you to Mr..
Henry Dilks, deputy factotum to
Assessor Wright of the Sixth district.
Mr.. Dilks called on the Board and said
he had been employed by Mr.. Wright
to do the work of Assessor, and he was
in possession of the books, field maps,
etc, which he would turn over to the
Commissioners with great pleasure if
they would employ him as a clerk. He
had understood, he continued, that
the Commissioners had proposed to
employ the old Assessors as clerks, and
as Mr.. Wright was in business in New
York and could not be persuaded to
accept employment from the Commits
~sioners, Mr.. Dilks thought that as he
had done all the Assessors work he
should be employed.
Comment would be su%perfiuous.
There is a richness about this gentle
mans gall which disarms censure. In
fact we can hardly help admiring it as
the most perfect thing of its kind ex-
tant. Mr.. Dilks may get himself into
serious trouble if he does much more
fooling with the city's property.
There is lots of fun ahead when the
new officials come to dig down into
the books. We imagine some queer
discoveries will be made regarding the
value of property in various quarters,
and the differentiating influence OF
ownership upon adjacent parcels will
be especially curious to observe.

he was opposed by several members of the
organization because he was a citizen OF
another State. But the opposition
amounted to nothing. 1t was shown
that several members of the Troop were
not citizens of Pennsylvania, and it was
set forth that if these could join it, there
was nothing to prevent any of them from
being elected to the captaincy, If the ma.

has been troubled for some weeks with
a sore. mouth, and on Monday, its
grandmother, Mrs. Shortz, tried to
cure it. The old lady, while the
mother of the child was out, went to
a small brook near by and caught a
bullfrog which she brought home and
rubbed the child's lips. Mrs. Troutz,
on henring of this action, was very
angry at her mother. This morning
the child's trouble had disappeared,
and Mrs. Troutz apologized for her

The License Committee of Union Hi1l's
Council at Work.
The License Committee of the Union
Hill Council met last evening in Council
mar Ruh's office and passed Judgment on
about a hundred applications to sell liquor
or to peddle junk or produce.
Some rather startling facts were
evolved when the signatures on the ap-
plications of liquor licenses were exam
ined. A number of names appeared
whose owners do not live in the town;
others were not property owners, a pro
vision required by law; while in several
cases the names were manifest ~forgeries.
Married women, who are legally not en-
titled to sign, had affixed their names to
some of the applications, which were, OF
course, thrown out.
Forty liquor licenses and twenty junk
and peddlers' licenses were finally ap-
proved by the committee, while twenty
liquor licenses were returned to theil
owners, and next Thursday was set for
the day on which they must be turned
over again to the committee.
The applications of Freeholder Charles
Was, H. A.. Nolte, Herbert Himmior
and Captain Krobatsch were among those
rejected. On the application of Man
Reich, Councilmen Ross and Merritt had
q slight disagreement.
1t was finally thrown out.

The Legend of the Rose.

There are several legends to account
for the origin of the rose. Here is a
very beautiful one:-A certain Jewish
maiden, Zillah, rejected the advances
of a lover, Hammel, a degraded and
cruel man. In revenge he accused
her of offences for which she was SON
demned to be burned at the stake.
When brought to the spot the flames
did no harm to the maiden, but son
sumed the false lover. "And the tyre
began to burn out hire, she made her
prayers to cure Lord and anon was
the fayer quenched IN QUITE and
brandes that were brennynge becomen
white roses. and THESE were ia the
first roseres that ever any mar
saughe.n The burning brands thus
became red roses-the other ones white
According toa Greek myth, red roses
were white ones, tinged with the blood
of Venus, who wounqed her foot on a
thorn while Fastening to the aid Of
the dying Narcissus. According to
another legend they sprang from the
bath of Aphrodite. A later Christian
tradition asserted that the crown of
thorns was one Of the red rose thorn,
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-06-15
and that the red roses sprangfrom the
blood of Christ.
Men saw the thorns on Jesus brow,

A still different origin is given to
the 'tqueen of flowers by Mussulman
tradition. According to it, white roses
sprung from the sweat of the prophet
Mohammed during his journey TO
heaven, and the yellow ones from per-
SEPARATION dripping from the name OF
AL Borak, his steed. 1t is further re-
ported that the red flower is colored
with drops of his blood, and the faith
full will never suffer one to lie on the
ground. There is an Arab tradition
that a certain King Shaddad planted
a field of roses in the desert, which are
still iourishing, but no man can find
them. &ef f3 EtE4t #

wonderful Eastern Rugs.

From the Philadelphia Record.
'sThe Eastern rug wears forever. 1t
is made by the most tedious hand
process. Every tuft of wool is tied
fast to the warp of the rug, and hence
the ever varying patterns, which
could never be turned out by a ma
chine. Absolutely fast colors are not
known outside of the Orient. The
vegetable dye which is used there will
never fade, as will the aniline dye.
There are endless shades of color, too,
which are not reproduced outside the
domain of these rug makers. There
is n establishment in Wisconsin
| which follows the Eastern method of
weaving, but in the matter of color
ing rivalry ceases.
HSecond-hand rugs? Why, the
richest of them have been in use for
years. Representatives of the Con-
stantinople merchants, who trade
with the West, are sent travelling
through the barbarous empires. Rugs
that have been tfodden for years
under the feet of Mohammedan wor-
shippers in the great mosques, or,
perhaps, for several decades have
decked some nobleman's harem, are
DOuC0 up, SOIlletlIlco dU ttl dDSufuly
low price, and carried awai in horse
or camel trains.
"Some rugs are found which have
been made by the dainty hands of
court ladies, involving the labor of
several years; but the tendency is for
the owners to hold fast to them in the
hope of realizing an immense purchase
price. 1t is not an unusual thing for
Arab robbers to attack a party of rug
merchants travelling with their
valuable loads, and in the fight rugs
| are rent and torn like this one which
you see.
sFilthiness is no name for these
pieces of handiwork when they reach
the shipping point of the west.
| Reeking with the dirt of years, they
would shock the instinct of the yeriest
scavenger on our shores. They are
washed and then sent off to market.
When they reach England or this
country they generally have to be
given a thorough securing before they
can be put on SALE"
