The Aston Jewels.

The Aston family possess some wonder
full jewels. particularly diamonds. The
late Mrs. John Jacob Astor used to wear
a tiara that few of the crowned heads of
Europe could match. Mrs. William AS
tor wears a beautiful riviere of diamonds,
three rows graduated. She also possesses
a famous diamond necklace OF six strings,
set in such a ann thai no gold is visi-
bic, and having the appearance of being
strung together. Mr.. Astor is constantly
having il altered, and increasing its bril-
liancy and value by the addition of larger
diamonds in the place of small ones.
There are some fine emeraIds in the fam
lily, but no member seems to care much
about display, and, except on rare occa-
sions, these jewels are not worn. One Of
Inspector Byrnes' detectives. who stood
in full evening dress in q brilliant BALI
room on the crest of Murray Hill one
night last winter, where Mrs. Astor and
all the wealth of New York were present.

THE HOME KINGDOM
Where the Queen Reigns Supreme
and is a Great Power for Good.

There was never a kingdom without Its
woman is at the bottom Of all mischief,
by which is meant, in this connection,
that has not always to do with
political events. Men and nations have
too many causes ef quarrel, hav too
many inspirations to action, to war
rant the selection of one cause out
OF the myriad ms the controlling influence
of the world. 1t Is somewhat the fashion
to think of women as exerting q
strong power over tie men who govern
states. and there are historic xampie
sustaining the reflection. There are Eliza
beth, Catherine, and Victoria. Pericles
sat at the feet of the Milesian beauty.
The wives of w presidents are
exceedingly interesting u much
talked-about figures in their various
administrations. The whole country
has participated in the discus
sion on the stirring questions Of etiquette
between the wives or the Supreme court
Judges and the wives Of the Senators; in
the ambitious English of the capital city
these people are called cabinet ladies"
and Senatorial ladies'" The veriest tyro
in European politics must have learned
of the high esteem in which the members
of the Primrose League of England hold
themselves. Women have doubtless made
and ruined statesmen. Generally, In IN
instance of ruin at all events, u is the
mans own lookout. and no n else fs es-
pecially injured. The generally gentier
sex have been responsible for wars and
for other national calamities. ST. Eyre

cription de ~lettre," ont arme PAngIeterre

And yet, Notwithstanding the old and
respectable theory, women have had very
little 20 do with politics, M old-fash-
toned people, whose standard of feminine
excellence is that Of their wives and
mothers, are rather glad Of 1t. La France,
in the old time, when the game OF politics
was the game Of personal ambitions,
woman had a supremacy in the intrigues
of the court which she has never enjoyed
since. The truth is, when nations began
TO be governed with some regard to The
body of people who furnished forth the
armies with which kings and mobiles ac-
conpiished their objects, Frenchmen
were rather amused by feminine political
lantly propounded the theory that the
myth which represents Minerva as
springing from The brain Of dove is in
tended TO signify that wisdom never
comes from the brain of woman.
However all this may be, the woman
who exerts the best and most stimulating
influence over men of affairs is tho wo-
man at home-the woman in whose com
pany Anteas feels as If he were again in
touch with refreshing and invigorating
Mother Earth. The woman in politics,
thus far in the worlds history, has not
been SO lovable as her meeker and nobler
sisters. and has not had that large share
in mans especial work which common re-
port has given her .-HuTpeT's Weeklu.

AS to plants that have been kent
through the winter, it is best TO keep
them for another winter or to set themin
the ground and let them bloom all they
will and not take them up again? Ii
they are strong, healthy plants they will
be good for another year, but If not don't
Keep them. Ii a geranium with long.
aank branches with a lew leaves on the
ends turn 1t out of the pot, shake off the
sell and repot in fresh soil. Wash the
pots inside and outside with soap suds,
and rinse off. To insure nice. healthy
plants, either use new pots every year or
thoroughly wash the old ones Ia soap
suds and rinse at every rapotting, says
Good Housekeeping. When a new pot is
used besure and soak it several hours be-
fore using. so that 1t will soak up ali the
water it needs. Consideration must be
had as to whether the plant is growing
fast or slowly. Is the weather cold or
hot? Evaporation goes on more rapidly
in the hot weather, SO plants need more
water.
After reporting the geraninm take a
sharp knife and prune it, cutting every
branch off within three or four inches Of
the main stem. After watering, set in the
shade a few days, then sink the pot la the
ground in a sunny spot. Properly grown,
the old gerahium will give more flowers
another winter than{two young pIants-if
the plant was a good u to start with.
The tips Of the branches will make good
cuttings, If they look green n hard. but
if they look soft and watery throw them
away.

likes to have a scornful jibe passed
upon his home. And the peo-
pie know that to remedy
this, they must sweep Bob Davis from
office, and when they cast their votes
against John J. McPhillips they are
putting Robert Davis where he be-
longs. And so goes up the mighty
shout, Down with Davis, Down
with the Ringl'
Milk White Steeds As an Antidote to
Black Consciences.
Bob Davis and Orestes Cleveland
riding behind four milk white steeds
is a beautiful picture for the people
of this city to look upon. Four black
horses driven by little imps in red,
with Satan as footman, splitting fire
and waving his forked tail at the spec
tators with a devilish grin, would
have been more appropriate. That
is the trouble with both Cleveland
and Davis, they have no conception
Of the eternal fitness of things. THE
JERSEY CRY News has faithfully
and conscientiously endeavored to
beat into their thick skulls that they
are constantly sticking their heads
into the sand and thinking that they
are thus concealing their hands which
are in the peoples pockets. 1t isn't
so. Bob; it isn't so, Retty. Riding
behind white horses does not conceal
from the people that your hearts are
black, that your consciences are
stained, and that your fingers have a
lust for gold. The public is a shrewd
creature, gentlemen, but it is also a
charitable one. 1t will give the meanest
thief a chance to redeem himself by
sending him TO a r~eformatory. 1t
gives every office holder every chance
he can wish for to prove himself o r
rupt, treacherous and unworthy the
company of decent men before it
sends him back to private life
branded with disgrace and infamy.
And, gentlemen, it looks as though
your time had come.

through the trickery and m%anipula-

names placed on the official ballots,
as required by the new law, and hav-
ing thus been forced to Withdraw
from the canvass, do hereby recon-
mend that all honest voters, prospect

Dated October 81, 1890.
We, the undersigned Executive
Committees of the Jeffersonian and
Labor Democracy, recommend the
election of the entire Republican
ticket for these reasons
First-Because. through the trick
cry OF the Ring, which claims to be
the Regular Democratic Party Of this
county we have been prevented
from voting for the candidates of our
choice
Second-Because the candidates
placed in nomination by the so-called
Regular Democrats are the plant
tools of this corrupt Ring, which at
the election last fall SO manipulated
the ballot boxes that 10, 900 fraudulent
votes were counted for their candi-
dates and the will of the people set
aside.
mird-Because this corrupt Ring
| has control Of all the departments Of
the county and of the city of Jersey
City, and is increasing the public
debt at an enormous rate without any
corresponding benefit to the people,
and is aiming at the control of the
State itself.
HoMth-Because Of the manipula-
tion of this Ring, our juries r Of
such a calibre as to make the obtain
ing Of justice a difficult task, SO that
application for struck juries is of
necessity a common occurrence.
Ffh-Because through its cor
rupt power this Ring levies blackmail
upon some Of the business men of our
county, and unnecessarily Expresses
those who are not their willing tools.
SirM-Becauss no other remedy is
open to us at this time-no great
political questions are involved; it is
a question Of honest government only
as against keeping ignorant and cor
rupt persons from gaining further po-
iitical power.

all their dates were filed, and he was

The Major was in full dress and
made a very pretty appearance. He
was eloquent about everything that
did not touch on the burning ques-

was about to leave the platform he
did remember that a Sheriff was to be
elected. This little bit of memory
