old Willie Lampke, who was SO horribly
mangled by Grove street horse car on

His Dive Was Strangely Quiet When the
Investigators Called.
The Union Hill authorities are funny
set of fellows. They made pretence of
closing Peters dive on the Hackensack
Plank road, Union Hill, last night. but it
is safe to say that even now the place is
again crowded With disreputable women.
For some time past the people in the
vicinity of the dive have been complain
ing of it. As they could not get the
authorities to take any action in the mat
ter The JERSEY CITY NEWS undertook TO
close the den and exposed it in all its
hideous rascality.
Then the Hoboken Ncl0s took uD the
cudgei. Last night the Council met as
an investigating COMMITTEES. Several
persons stated that they had been in
Peters dive, and told some dis
gusting details. The Council at once
determined TO visit the place and
with the police force started for Peters
dive. When they arrived there they
found a sleepy looking Young man behind
the bar. There was nobody else In the
place.
The Council and police force went back
and thus tine investigation ended. Today
several of the painted beauties were back
in the place although they kept very
shady.

CORRECTING THE TAXES
Commissioner Black Tells
What the State Board
is Doing.
TWO HONEST COUNTIES FOUND.
If All We're Like Salem and SOmer-
set This Would be a
Model State.
TWO HONEST COUNTIES FOUND.

The State Board OF Tax Commissioners,
" hich was appointed by Governor Alb
bett under the law of last winter has
been hard at work since the middle OF
April endeavoring to ascertain what
abuses exist In the methods Of valuing
property for taxation in the various
counties of the State with view Of de-
vising means for their correction.
The Commissioners have held several
Morristown, Belvidere. Wilmington,
Somerville. Mount Holly, Woodbury.
Salem and Bridgeton, the county seats
respectively of Sussex, Morris, Warren
Hunterdon, Somerset, Burlington,
Gloucester, Salem and Cumberland
Counties.
Mr.. Charles Black of this city who is
of the members OF the Board In talking OF
the Commissioners work this morning
said that they had found that Salem and
Somerset were assessed fair valuations
and returned more personal property re-
lattvely than any Of the other counties.
The Board believed, he said, that In
the main these counties are assessed
honestly. and II the other counties were
assessed as honestly and on relatively the
same fair basis their tax rates would be
materially reduced.
THE BASIS OF ABUSES.
The abuses OF the present system, Mr.
Black continued. lie In the fact that lar9 Q
corporations or money interests control
the assessors OF the various districts and
also the commissioners OF appeals Of the
districts SO that the county assessors be-
come powerless TO have the abuses in any
particular township corrected.
The assessors, the Board also found, do
not attempt to make returus of per-
sonal property, and in many instances
return the value Of p roperty at one-haIf
or two-thirds OF its true value, for the
purpose OF making tho assessment OF this
township relatively less than that of
the Others.
They further found that the assessors
frequently fixed a nominal value on the
property OF manufacturing concerns,
giving as reason therefor that such
concerns were OF more benefit to the com.
mRnity than the taxes which might be
assessed against them would be.
THE RESULT WILL BE GOOD.
The Board discovered, Mr.. Black fur
ther said, Willingness among the assess
ors TO carry out the rules and regulations
prescribed by the Board and to cooper
ate with the Commissioners. Many OF
the Assessors also expressed the opinion
that the supervision Of such Board as
the Commissioners composed would naye
general effect for good upon tae local
Assessors.
Mr.. Black was enthusiastic over the
work and is sanguine that the Board will
accomplish the object for which it was
created: the aDolishment of the
abuses in the present system OF
assessing property and the aevisinp
of some method whereby valuations viii
be fixed upon a fair and equal basis.
The Board will meet In Trenton on
July to consider appeals from the yalu-
ations of local assessors.

THE DISEASE OF GENIUS.
Men of Useful Knowledge Not the Men
of Helpful Action.

of Helpful Action.
Balzac, in one of his realistic nov
els, expresses the following striking
thought
'sGenius is a terrible malady. Every
author and student carries in his breast
a monster who devours the germs Of
every noble sentiment and generous i'm
pulse. One must indeed be very great
man in oruer 10 preserve an equilibrium
between genius and the moral character.
A poet who IS not a giant, with the
shoulders Of a Hercules, inevitably ends
either by losing his genius or Dy destroy
ing his morality"
The famous novelist does not develop
his idea, and chooses to leave US in the
dark as 70 the law, nature and cause OF
this strange and wonderful 'malady.
which, according TO mis- emphatic declar-
alton. makes helpless victims OF the great
majority of our masters OF prose and
verse TO speak only of the world OF
letters. Yet Il is obvious that the prob
lem Is a very vital one, and full OF deep
interest. The seemingly tnaubitaole
fact of incompatability between high
intellectual or artistic Developments
and moral culture OF the ordinary and
indispensable virtues of good and honor
aole citizenship, frequently perpiexes Us
and nils Us with amazement, II not Win
apprehension. We know that talented
authors. gifted sayans, Brilliant artis .,
and people of rich aud original indiEidn-
alities generally are, In most eases, ut
terly destitute of all practical ability,
sense and.information-are careless, un-
conscientious, irresponsible and even M
principled. As fathers, neighbors, ms
bands, lovers, they are too frequently far
below the standard Of respectability and
dignity (aot to be conf0unded, how
ever, with purely conventional
pronriety) recognized in cultivated
society. Fney are, in their actual daily
relations, cold. Indifferent, unfeeling and
cruel to the point OF inhnmsnity- We see
that many OF those who BY their Droduc-
tious charm. ennobie, elevate aud
beautify mankind are found 70 be hope
less pessinists and cynics. The men
most farailinr Nith the dark sides Of life
often are those who have the least sxal-
pathy with the wretched ana disinherited.

has not been paid" said he.
is because the new vestry is waiting -

bishop. and are willing TO abide Dy his

bill.
LEGACY FROM THE OLD vEsrRY.
The bill shonlu have been paid by the
old vestry, as the work was completed
last October. They had the money
then, and why they did not pay
It Is mere COME cture. There
are also other bills which they
have left unpaid aud kindly turned over
to us. These bills in all amount 10 near
IL one thousand dollars. We paid the
gas bill because the gas company would
have shut OF our supply had we not done so.
The coal bill and the sections salary
still remain unpaid. The old vestry
should have paid all the bills. but they
anticipated defeat at the annual election
and did rot do 20.
ssThe old vestrymen are confident, how
ever, that Bishop Suarkey viii render a
decision favorable to them, notwitnstand
ing that he intimated that hts decision
would be otherwise"
HANGS on TO THE BOOKS
"Ex-Treasurer Adam Reid still holds
the books, aud although Rector Chapman
has demanded them time and time again
he refuses to give them uD. He also holds
the funds of the church, which amount
to several hundred dollars. He stubborn
" holds on to the money also. We do not
know the exact amount he has, but still
it should be turned over TO Rector Chap
man."
The Bishop is expected to make known
his decision next Monday, and II it IS
favorable TO the new vestry Mr.. Dodd' S

taken TO recover the funds and books
