httghg.
PrTTsDuRa, April 16.-The Blsirsville
Presbytery, in ses ion at Turtle Greek,
to-day decided against the Rev. d..
David j. Beale, the wsll-knovn pastor o'
the First Presbyterian Ohuroh of Johus-
town. Two reports wers read from the
committee appointed some time ago to
investigate the differences hetwaen DR..
Beale aud the faction led by Ruling Elder
John Futon.
The minority report sustained the Rev.
DR.. Beaie and tho majority report tho
John Fulton faction. The reports were
discussed at length on both sides. The
direct issue was tho claim Of DR.. O..
Sheridan, representing the Fulton fac
tion, to q seat in presbytery, to which
samuel II. hcGenrv, one of DR.. B al 70
followers, also laid claim. The preshy.
tory decided ia favor of DIR. ShvTi IN
and he was given his sest. Then SeNre-
tary Townsend read petition from i6l
memhe Of DIR. Bsale's church. asklpg
for his resignation and, il LIE refused to
re ign, that the presbytery dismiss him.
Tho secretary had no soonsr tiuishad

firm, decisive manner, said; 81 have 3

"This matter is not settled by any

needing the command Of the chair, ant
1t was only when several members OF tie

WAS induced to resume h;a sect.

the Papal Nuncio to allow her to in

This was rather startling, but the

handed it to the Protestant lady, who
proceeded to place it around her neck,

The City,s Valuation.

The property valuations for Jersey
City are in a sense a surprise. and yet
they are substantially a vindication
of the opinions of those who pre-
dicted a tremendous increase. The
figure as given by the Commissioners,
So, 631, 1888 increase over last year is a
formidable one to begin with; but the
further discovery that it only escaped
being "a, 231, 9SS through the decision
of the Court of Errors in the Pennsyl-
vania Railway grain elevator case,
shows that those who, like THE JER-
SER CRY NEWS ciphered out the in
crease to 81, 500, 900 were very nearly
right.
Now it is impossible to Judge at this
time how much real foundation there
is for the raise in valuations. 1t is
true many new buildings have been
put up, and a few new plots have
been cut up into lots; but the City
Tax Commissioners themselves speci-
fcally say that these do not account
for the entire excess over last year. A
good part is obtained by what they
call a process Of equalization. just
what this means will appear later,
when the individual assessments are
more generally known.
1t is impossible not to admit that
the Commissioners have been more
moderate in their dealings with the
property owners than there was rea-
son to fear. The enormous demands
for money both for county and city
purposes Indicated a terrible increase
in valuations in order that the tax
rate might be kept down. There is no
doubt but this was the original
scheme of our Ring rulers, and only
the exposure of the prospect by THE
JERSEY CRY News, backed, we
are glad to say, by the good
sense of the Tax Commission
ers, prevented the realization of
the plan. AS it is, doubtless, the
Commissioners have gone just as far
as they dared. They had a very un-
pleasant experience last year of the
effect of Eartiicial initiation Of values,
and they have this year stopped just
short, in all probability, of the line at
which they would again incur the
same censure.
The Tax Board has simply declined
to be made a scapegoat, and has left
the financial riddle to be solved else
where.
Well We know now what the prop
erty valuation is, and the theatre of
speculation is transferred to the Board
of Finance. viii this increase of
So, 600,O 900 enable it to keep the tax levy
down to any reasonable figure? That is
tho question. There are three points
in its favor. The prospect is that
Jersey City will have to carry q
slightly smaller proportion than
usual Of the county expenses; that is
one point gained. Then there is the
difference between least years tar
rate Of 2.2S and 8 per cent, the Martin
Act limit, that is point mum
ber two. Finally there is the
increase in the valuation. Be
tween the three, and by chop
ping and shaving the appropriations
for every department, the inancier'
may be able to make some sort of fail
showing. We hope, for the public''
sake, that they will, and we look for
ward to next Wednesday, when the
result is to be made known, with M
small curiosity.

The Archduchess valerie's Home.
There are three rooms in the Arch
duchess Yalerie's bridal home at Cas-
tie Lichtenegg, whose furnishing is
more interesting than any of the rare
and costly bridal gifts that the fash
ionable ladies of Vienna have been
examining in the six stately Radetzky
rooms of the palace, These rooms are
furnished entirely in Pennsylvania
peasant embroidery, whose designs
are ancient in date, but rich ahd origi-
nal, and extremely durable, says the
Sun. No peasant woman in Transyl-
vania, however Door, would conde-
scend to wear anything less costly
than linen garments richly embroid-
cred. The very poor have but one
shirt. which they wash each week, but
it is of such wonderful texture that it
stands the treatment for years with no
bad effect.
A traveller meeting one of these old
danes, who. with a ragged purple
skirt wore a magnifcently embroid-
cred but extremely soiled shirt OF the
home-spun linen, offered the woman
her own price for the garment: but
the peasant woman refused to give it
to her at any price, as 1t was her only
shirt and winter was neal. To the
suggestion that she wear a ready
made shirt, she scornfnlly answered
that it was a disgrace to wear a shirt
she had not done herself, and no
amount of money could induce her to
part with her treasure. The linen is
of yellowish tint, crisp like crepe,
closely woven, and washes for a half
century without changing either tint
or texture. The elaborate designs are
heir-looms, descending from grand
mother down, never copied ON paper,
and varied only by an occasionally
gifted peasant woman's fancy.
The royal bride has a saloon fur
nished entirely with this curious and
beautiful work in white or drab, a
toilet room in pale blue and white
and a smoking room in red and white.
The Hungarian aristocraey is. as a
matter of course, eagerly following
the within of the court, and rooms fur
nished in Kalotaszeg embroidery, as
the work is called, mounted on white
lacquered wood, are very much the
fad, and the poverty of this people,
through the skill of its peasant needle
women, is fast giving place to joyous
| abundance.
