Under the Werts law elections are
expensive in New Jersey. The expei-
SEES are divided between the State and
municipalities. In New jersey there
are 1922 judges. inspectors and clerks
Of election, all under pay. The judges
and inspectors Of elections number
3,54S. They also serve as the Board Of
Registration. They each average nine
days, getting So a day, as tile law fixes
eight hours as u days work. Tie cost
of these officers will approximate about
$50. 200. There are LIZA clerks of
election, who get So a day, which nets
So, 522, making considerable over $780,
900 for the officers.
The next item of great expense is tie
stationery, which is supplied from the
| Secretary Of States efiee. Each county
| clerk distributed among tile voting
| places all the books of reference ana
stationery needed. There were 30,653
separate pieces. These were distributed
among S57 election districts, AMI the
| value of tIle stationery for each precinct
is about $40. This makes another item
| of S35, $40. The expense of printing
tickets and envelopes fail on the county.
1t is impossible to say just what these
will cost In the aggregate, rs the npni
Der varies In different counties, hut al
expert figures on the cost of tickets and
envelopes fof each precinct ut about 81.
This is ali average. This makes the
total cost Of envelopes and tickets in
the State about $1,000. All these items
added together make the legitimate ex-
psnses Of election in the State about
$50, 900. To this, Of course, must be
added the expenses Of candidates, polit-
ical organizations. holding Of meetings,
carriages, badges, music aud campaign
documents, which will add up ad
libitum.

The growth Of PIERCE School since its
occupancy OF the Record Building,
Phila., has been marvellous. The splep.
did appointments, the convenience of
location, the varied and numerous
branches, and the size aud strength Of
the Faculty have been advanced as rea-
SOL Those best acquainted with DR..
Peirce's methods, however, attribute
the increased patronage to his careful
mode of selecting instructors. The
large classes admit of division of labor
among the teachers, in which case ex-
pert specialists are secured. They have
praeticed what they teach. The teach
ers in bookkeeping have come from
the counting house; an active member
Of the bar instructs in Commercial
Law; skilled Stenographers are in the
Shorthand and Typewriting room, and
SO on through every branch.

GU ysanthemums, those handsome
auth ln flowers that are so highly es-
teen ID by us for their beauty, ale val
ued IN Japan for an entirely different
reason. The Japanese, in fact, do not
raise chrysanthemums as ornamental
plants, hut cultivate them as edible
ones. 1t is the flowers that are employ
ed by amateurs. Those are eaten as a
salad after being stepped In water and
then boiled.
In Japan, the flowers Of the chrysan.
themums constitute al truly popular
dish, and during the months OF Nov
ember and December punches Of them,
washed and carefully displayed, may
be seen in the stores Of all the dealers
in vegetables. Almost all the parie-

those % which preference is usually
given are the ones with small deep yell
low flower heads. and which are not so
pretty IS the varieties cultivated for

Delaware is almost as much excited
now over the claim of j. Edward Ad-
dicks to. the U. 3. Se~natorship In
that state because he put up, so said,
from $50,O 600 to $4,000 to buy the
state for the Republican party in gen.
eral and the s~enatorship in particular
for himself. He lives at Claymont and
became a millionaire by specializing in
gas company stocks. His sole claim to
the office is that he put up the Doodle to
corrupt the voters in the lower counties
of the State. AS much as 500 was
paid Democrats to vote the Republican
ticket and $40 were paid for them to
stay at home. Addicks feels serene as
he owns a majority of the legislators
elected, Notwithstanding several Of the
metropolitan new spapers have opened
fire on him and his wife has made a
sensation by entering a suit for divorce.

senator McPherson's Plans.

There is good reason for believing
that Senator Mcpherson will give up
his residence in New Jersey and .aaas
his permanent home in Washington, on
his retirement from the Senate next
March. For The past three r four
years he has had nc home In the State,
but always registered from Taylor's
Hotel, Jersey City. During this time
he kept his home in Washington, open
all the year around. Excepting when
confinement Of
the S.~ the climate Of
Washing ays agreed with
him, and nov s.usss Mis-. Mcpherson
and Miss Mcpherson ave returned, af-
ter three years spenk Europe, there
is a likelihood tilat@ .e remainder of
his days will be speir in the city that
has been the scene df The greatest Of
his political achievements. Mrs. Nc
Pherson has Away oeer. a leader
among the most excl9sive of the social
circles Of the Capital and will probably
be a conspicuous 1gl}e in Washington
society during the aching season. Some
weeks ago, Senator Mcpherson pur-
chased a handsome burial plot there,
in Oak Hill cemetery, and on Saturday
he had the remains Of one of his chill

The readiness with which the holders
of gold has taken Uncle Sans bonds
shows that he still has a good credit.
The fifty million dollars worth of bonds
payable in ten years at 5 per cent. were
sold for $59, 750, 900, which makes the
interest amount to 2 rs per cent. The
best of this bond issue is that none OF
the gold will be drawn from the treas
ury and Uncle Sans treasury gold will
amount to SIG, 800, 900.

Now that the ''only true temperance

the legislature many thing there
sholld be some temperance legislation.
Last year the majority was small and
it being elected On the principal issue
of repeating the rao track laws ma"
advocated not touching Temperance
legislation. But no excuse can now lie
offered and there will have to be some
thing dcne or somebody intends to
know the reason why. AT the regular
weekly meeting of the Methodist
Preachers Association of the New Jer-

Revs. b. G. Lippincott, John Handley
and John Morris were appointed Spec.

ton. AS these dominies are good mem.
bers Of the G. .. p. it is to be seen how
far their influence will go amongst the
legislators. AS Senator Bradley was
only elected by the help Of Prohibition

things up. Then there is Senator Skirm

New Jersey has the novel case of a
judge in its Supreme court being
brought before a justice of the peace
for trial. Justice Jonathan Dixon with
some other gentlemen recently took a
trip on a steam yacht in Passaic coun-
ty and shot some wild ducks, thus VIC.
lating the game laws Of the state. The
defendants are under bail, which a
Paterson Justice Of the Peace required
then to give. There is much interest
in the case as Judge Dixon is n Of
the most learned judges and lawyers in
the country, but it seems that lie has
not kept up in learning law as fast as
legislatures can make them.

AnIngerson Anecdote..

Col. Robert G.. IngersolPs coming az
pearance at City Hall on Tuesday even
ing, Dec. 4th, makes timely the follow
ing little anecdote that has never before
appeared in print, although it occurred
at the time of the famous Star Route
trials in Washington some ten years or
more ago. The late Judge Wiley presld-
ed over the court, while Col. Ingersoll
was the lie aiding counsel for the defense
The Judge was an ulrra-orthodox Pres
byterian and it was a matter of seeming
pleasure for him to display his antagonism
for the brilliant agnostic in ways that
were extremely annoying to lngersoll.
OF course it was impossible for the Col
onel to make ANY reply in court, for the
interests of his clients were at stake,
AID he could not jeopardize them, still
ho had his own private feelings. On.
day, after long session, during which
tho Judge had been particularly irritat-
jng the Colonel left the court and walked
toward his hotel, accompanied by two
OF his friends. Behind him and unseen
by him, came the Judge, also with
friends. Engrossed in conversation con-
corning the days happenings. the Col
crel did not notice large mule that was
standing near the curb. AS the Colonel
was passing the beast made a spi5eful
plunge at him, attempting to bite his
arm. Ingersoll saved his flesh By sud-
denly jumping to one side. At the same
instant he thus rebuked the vicious an
inial;
You COMPOUNDED brute. what court
are you judge OFF"
The Colonel then passed on without
having seen the Judge, who saw the
incident, heard the remark and stood
for 0 moment aghast, looking mechani-
eally at the mule with which he invoiun-
tarily bad been associated in Ingersoll's

IS miles an hour, much faster than any
other island steamer. She will cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and will be
launched the first of April. She is ex-
pected to go onUo the route the first of
June.
She will be splendid addition to the
fleet of steamers in Casco Bay, and the
sail to Harpswelleeat the speed of Is miles
