TAX BILL SUBSTITUTE.
The Commission Feature Alone Retained
Federal Cash for Roads.
Special to the Jersev City Neies.

1RNNt*H - tRt NNtSNB NN1 -N~NH
TRENTON, March 10. 1S9l-A substitute
for the tax bill will be introduced today
1t provides for a Board of three Commits
sioners who shall nave full power to de-
crease the amount of taxation but none
to increase it. It VIII provide that Wis
bic personal property must be taxed
where found and the local assessors must
furnish the State Board with full state
ments of all property which IL may be
claimed is exempt from taxation. In
cities. buildings are to be assessed separ-
ately from lots the same as in the old
bill. Tint State Board is requested to re-
port to the Legislature each year any de-
fects it may discover in the existing tax
laws.
TO IMPROVE THE ROADS.
Under the Direct Tax Refunding act,
which recently passed Congress. New
Jersey will receive 1928, 600. The Board
of Agriculture met yesterday afternoon
and passed a resolution requesting the
Legislature to devote hat sum to the i'm
Drovement Of the public roads of the
State. The fund is to be set aside and
only the interest is to be used. The Board
also asks that ten per cent. of the monies
received from miscellaneous corporations
for taxes be added to the fund. The
Board submitted its action to the Cover
nor, who will consider it and make
known his views on the subjecL in a few
days.
TOFFEY'S STEWARDSHIP.
The Legislature paid State Treasurer
Toffey a deserved compliment last even
ing. The joint committee on his accounts
reported that they mad found them cor
rect in every respect, aud recommended
the adoption of a resolution directing
that his official bond be returned to
him. The resolution was adopted unani-
mously by both houses. During the six
years he has occupied the office of State
Treasurer, Colonel Toffey has received
SIS. 545, 900 and disbursed S25,51 600.
Assemblyman Kerr IS one Of the five
candidates for the vacant District Court
Judgeship in Paterson.
LANES sALARY GRAB.
There was a skirmish over a motion uc
recall from the Governor Mr.. Lanes bill
Increasing the salaries of the Judges
which so excited the executive indigna.
ton last week. Mr.. Lane opposed the res
olution and Messrs. WINS and VanSyckle
favored it, but Mr.. Lane finally succeeded
in having 1t laid on the table.
MARRIAGE LICENSE.
The little chool master from Cape MAY
attempted a second time to get his mar.
riage license bill through, but was de.
feated by the Camden delegation. Mr.
Cole says thas the trouble with the Cam
den men on this question is that the CITY
Clerk Of their city now receives the fee,
| from the shady marriages which the bill
seeks TO break up. The City Clerk com
plains that he has to pay SO much iuto thu
Republican campaign fund that thel
ought not to take this source of revenue
from him.

Her ROYAL Sweetness.

To be called Her Royal Highness is
the destiny of every woman born to
wear a crown, writes Lady Elizabeth
Hilary in the Ladies' Home Journal,
for March; but it remains for one
woman among all the royal families
to have the ~endearing title of Her
Royal Sweetness given to her, and
that honor belongs TO Alexandra,
Princess of Wales. She has that mar
velous art of making goodness seem

ALDERMAN SMITH is very facetious
indeed with his bill to turn all Repub-
licans out of office by April 1, and re-
place them with Democrats, -or at
least he means to be.
But he will find it no jesting matter
as time wears on. The people have
voted that they have no confidence in
the Republican party, that they want
the public affairs taken out of its
hands.
In the strict performance of their
duty, the Democrats of the State will
see that Republicans are deprived of
all opportunity to subvert the peo-
pies interests to selfish schemes.

The Great New York News Pirate.
THE great New York fake sheet sur
passed itself this morning.
1t cody and deliberately appropri-
ated THE JERSEY CITY News articles
of Sunday and yesterday regarding
the detention of young girls in the
County Jail for months while no
charge exists against them, and they
are merely needed by the State as wit
nesses.
The theft is of the most impudent
and scandalous character. No effort
is made to conceal it. 1t is COM
mitted in contempt of the common
sense of the reading public of Jersey
City.
Such conduct is a disgrace to New
York journalism.

Keep Something TO Yourself.

Don't tell your husband your every
thought, writes Mrs. P. Il. Barnum in
the Ladies' Home Journal. Many of
them are not worth telling-and don't
ask to know his. This is moi secret
iveness, but common sense and deli
caey, as much so as the feeling that
prompts you to say your morning
prayer inaudibly, and to take your
bath in private.
Do you think that any reserve is
fatal to the Q n of an ideal mar
riageg Have you heard of the ''atomic
theory" How scientists tell us that
all palpable objects, even granite, are
composed of innumerable infinitesi-
NAL atoms, which, however close they
may seem to be, never really touch
each other? This is true of the heart
of a man and o They can
never quite touch, for the most de-
voted husband and wife can never
see anything from exactly the same
point of view; or teel anything in ex-
actly the same manner and degree.
This is the inevitable consequence of
differing sex; but they may come so
near as TO support each other and re-
sist the world with granite strength
and solidarity.
A Dietary for intellectual Workers.
The intellectual worker needs plenty
of light digestible food, such as fish,
poultry, eggs, game. fruit and the sue
culent vegetables. The proper diet
for all sedentary people is an early
and entire supply of digestible food,
including plenty of cereals and fruit.
A cup OF some warm drink should be
taken just before rising, or as soon as
it a be prepared, and positively no
work should be doneuntil after break
fast. As the digestive organs are
most active early in the day, a second
hearty but digestible meal can be
eaten at noon, if an hours rest inter
n before continued labor or exer-
else. The afternoon work should be
light, and part of the time passed out
of doors. A light, digestible dinner
may follow about nightfall, and the
evening be devoted TO recreation or
social relaxation. When n night
work is contemplated, food should be
taken about midnight, and again at
dawn, when the vital forces fail
That sad still hour before the dawn,
When old men die and babes are born
Special care should be taken to in
sure plenty of pure air and light;
strong meats and drinks should be
avoided, and abundance of milk used,
with eggs, fruit and fresh vegetables
and salads.-Jutiet CorS0n in Hdr-

Two young men, T. E. Pemberton and

flames.
The building, together with four fine
pianos, all the school furniture, good
library and most of the wearing apparel
OF teachers and pupils was completely
consumed.
Monroe High Scdool, owned and con-
Quoted by Prof. Fl. w. Spinks and Mai.
l.. D. Andrews, was q large three story
brick building situated about a mile from
the centre of the town.
1t contained, at the time of the burn
ing, 25 pupils, male and female, who all,
with the exception Of two, narrowly cs.
capped with their lives. The girls occu-
pied the ground floor, the boys the third
moor, the second floor being used for
recitation rooms, etc.
The building and fittings were valued
at $4,000. The insurance amounts 10
about 81, 900.
Prof. Spinks and Andrews will rent n
nall and continue their school.

A New ROgue's Dodge.

Individuals who live by putting their
hands into other peoples pockets and
appropriating for their own uses what
they may happen to find in them arc
obliged to invent new tricks to facilitate
which is new, at all evohts m 1fftsst- a.ls,
seems to have answered the purpose op
several occasions. Gentlemen III Paris are,
however, now warned. and probably in
future Will be on their guard when u
stranger seemingly accidentally runs up
against them. The respectable-look
stranger who acts in this way manages, it
appears, to throw the end of lighted
cigar into the pedestrians great coat
pocket, and, after apologizing for his
clumsIness, no goes away, the we'll
dressed pedestrian beng, of course,
quite unaware of the trick that has been
played on him. A few minutes later
couple of strangers hurry up to him, ex-
claiming: "Monsieur, your overcoat is
On fire." and, with the utmost polite
ness, they squeeze and compress tho
burning cloth, protiting, it is needless to
say, by the opportunity to relieve the
pocket of whatever of value it may con-
tain. Several persons have, it is stated,
been robbed in this way while walking
on the boulevards, and before they dis
covered their loss tho pickpor'sets were
lost in the Gro owd. But in future, il
some one stumbles up against French
man in the streets of Paris, he will prob
ably, il he has heard Of the trick, look
to sec there is no lighted cigar end left
in his coat pocket. Stand,rG.

If the discoveries made by the State
Dairy Commissioner of New Jersey afford
an. example of the deleterious mixtures
we eat and drink in New York, there is
well-founded reason for alarm, con-
fesses the New York MeUs. According
to his report, 21s6 samples of food,
drugs and dairy products were examined
during the year 1890, and of that num-
ber 468 samples were found to be adul-
terated. Out of 1915 samples of cream
of tartar, sixty were within the require.
ments of the law. More than third of
the lard was impure. Forty out of Afty
bags of coffee were bogus. Frauds were
found in canned French peas, jellies,
honey and olive oil. In ten lots of mus
lard, not one was pure; pepper was an
abomination, and of 40 samples of drugs,
snch as are used in every family, iorty-
four samples were adulterated. Figures
like the foregoing possess lively interest
and if similar condition of the things
exist on this side of the Hudson, the
public would like to know the fact, and
see the remedy promptly applied.
