requirement is q cash remittance. Those who
have already paid in advance can have their

The Fire 1t Caused Ruins One Family,
But Destroys a Dive.
A fire broke out in Dan Newman's cigar
store and billiard parlor, No. 246 Fair
mount avenue. at about ten O'Clock this
morning. destroying the whole building,
as well as the shoemaker's shop OF Mr..
Krohlman, which was next door. A
colored boy who was passing that way
saw the flames, and informed Officer
Brady, who pulled box No. 81, at Mont :
gomery street and Monticello avenue. The
engines were quickly OF the scene, but
the fire had gained considerable Roadway,
and it took them fully a half hour to sub
due it. Both buildings were completely
ruined, as was the stock contained in
them. Mr.. Newman estimates his loss at
81 500. and Mr.. Krohlman says that his
viii amount to $500. Both are insured.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from the careless throwing of a lighted
cigarette or cigar on the floor of the bill
lard room. Mr.. Newman says that he can
account for it in no other way, as every
thing appeared to be all right when he
closed the door at twenty minutes after
twelve o'clock. Mr.. Krohlman, who
sleeps in the real of his store. says that he
was awakened at about half-past twelve
F, O'Clock by the smell of smoke, and upon
arising found that it was pouring in
through the cracks in the walls between
the two stores. He woke his wife, threw
on his trousers and shirt, and dressing his
two children. rushed into the street with
them, without either shoes, stockings or
coat on. He didn't have time to save any
thing. He stood on the sidewalk in his bare
feet watching the fire with his wife until q

made arrangements for them to spend the

This Board is:.composed OF five members.
Four are appointed by the Mayor, not

When the Democratic Legislature over

they had protected against removal all

the Board itself.

to be a man who believes That the people

An Entirely New Version of a Very Old
Story.
Everyone has heard that old and popu-
larry accepted story of Marie Antoinette
and the starving peasants. and it Is al
ways told as an illustration of the heart
Iessness and carelessness of royalty con-
corning the common people.
It has served its purposes well, but I'M
fortunately it is not quite true. Mattieu
Williams gives the correct version. He
says
peiehborhood of the Tyrol. and of the
starving of some of the peasants there,
she replied. 4 would rather eat pie crust
than starve.' Some of the Story-tellers,
by the way, ave it pastry, others cake.
fThereupon the courtierS glggled at the
Ignorance of the pampered Princess, who
could suppose that starving peasants had
such an alternative food as pie crust.
.tThe ignorance, however, was on the
side OF the couruiers, and those who re-
beat the story in its ordinary form. The
princess was the only person In the court
who really understood the habits of the
peasants of the particular district In CUES

Young veal, by rolling 1t In a | n OF

the dough is hardened to a tough crust
and the meat is roasted throughout to the

Special to The JERSEY Citu Ne,cs.
TRENTON, April 25, 1S93.-The Citizens
League, which was organized last month
to fight the race track laws, is indignant
at the statements which have been pub
hshed that it sanctioned the proceedings
against the race track people which were
dismissed by Chief Justice Beasley on
Saturday, and that the action of the Chief
Justice was a defeat for the organizatio n.
r. N. Lindabury, counsel for the League,
said yesterday:
'sThe reports of the New York papers
this morning, that the Citizens League
had been beaten in its proceedings against
the Dwyer race track are altogether I'M
true. The League proceedings have not
been brought to a hearing yet, and cannot
be till the June term.
ssThe proceeding dismissed by Chief
Justice Beasley was instituted by Peter
De Lacy some two weeks ago. n was
doomed to failure from the beginning. 1t
is the one submitted to me by De Lacy,
the New York bookmaker, and his coun-
sci. to be adopted by the League. After
examining it / declined to have anything
to do with 1T, and so stated in an inter
view printed at the time.
Upon my refusal to adopt this pro-
ceeding De Lacy and Steen instituted it
on their own account in the name ofsome
friend or employee. The League had
nothing whatever to do with it, and its re
sponsible officers condemned it publicly
and privately from the beginning
Another proceeding was taken in the
matter yesterday. Justice Van Syckel of
the Supreme Court, upon application of
Samuel Kalisch, counsel for the race
tracks, granted a rule to show cause why
the orders holding the bookmakers to bail
should not be set aside aside as having
been improvidently made, and should not
be quashed as having been irregularly and
Illegally issued. The matter will be heard
at the State House May l.

EXPENSES OF FOREIGN MINISTER'S.

MOI Nearly In Keeping With Their Sal
aries-Positions For Rich Men.
How pinched our diplomatic agents are
was well illustrated in Mr.. LowelPs
time. A rich American, proud of his
country, and wishing to leave a monu-
ment to his liberality n patriotism, de-
cided to purchase q fitting legation house
in London for the American minister,
but Mr. Lowell begged him not to carry
ouu his generous intention during his
term of Office, for the cost of maintaining
such a house would nave been nearly
three times his salary. MI. Lincoln mas
lived becomingly but modestly during MS
tenure of the English mission, bn he
recently stated TO a friend that his an
nual expenditure has been $35 200, or just
double his salary.
What the expenditure OF an embassy
will be depends on the means Of the am
b~assador, put if our ambassador
be paid a salary equal to that of the Presi-
dent, he would not be able to do more
than return the official courtesies of the
country to which he was accredited, n
of his fellow members of the corps.
All OF this means that an American am
bassador who has no private fortune will
lie unhappy, and unhappy men cannot
6u(SSCO1oAAJ
pay is Inadequate for ministers, it is
absurd for ambassadors, and yet Congress
is not likely to increase salaries. 1t has
sanctioned a title authorized by the Con-
stiuution, but is unwilling to pay for
what the title calls. For several years
the fact has been recognized that only
rich men, or at least men who had
something beyond their psy, could afford
to accept the London, Paris or Berlin
mission, Mr.. Lowell and Mr.. Phelps be-
ing exceptions. Tit raising OF the grade
to an ambassadorship makes the OBJ
stacles to poor men all the greater. An
~impecunious ambassador would De rid1c-
ulous, and as the Increased rank is prac-
tically of no benefit TO the country
the sooner we return to the old rank the
better. The country will be better repre-
sented by a self-respecting minister than
by an ambassador who is the object of
universal eommiserstion because his
meagre salary compels him to live in lodg-
ings.-HGrper's Weekly.
