buildings were insured but not the live

the work of an incendiary.
The Fidelity Trust and Deposit Com
pany, as trustees of the estate of the late
Elizabeth Petty, who was murdered at
her home, in Newark, last December, on
Friday filed an appraisement of the value
of her property. The statement shows
that the estate is not worth nearly as
much as supposed, the real and personal
property amounting to less than $4,000
! The numerous relatives who made their
appearance after the woman's death be-
ieved that she was wealthy. and that her
property would aggregate at least $50, 600
The personal property is not worth over
500, according to the appraisement, and
consists of lot of rubbish of scarcely ny
value, except to the relic hunter or junk

Legislature assembled, has just been I'M
earthed at Elizabeth by the City Surveyor
Ernest L. Meyer, while making survey
of the old ]. c. Ogden estate. The an
cient relic lies about 60 feet from Eliza
beth avenue, and within few feet of the
Elizabeth river. 1t is near Jefferson ave-
nue.. The building was originally built in
1865, and was the residence of Sir George
Carteret, the first Colonial Governor Of
New Jersey. The first Legislative AS

1t is in the rear of one of the houses now
standing in Elizabeth avenue. The site
of the building has long been in dispute
The ruins are those of a substantial build
ing of stone. The land afterward drifted
into the possession of the Ogden family,
whose American ancestor, John Ogden,
landed at Elizabethport with Carteret, in
1864, and was one of the founders of old
Elizabethtown.

LAMENT OF THE UNEMPLOYED.
Lament similar to the following goes up
now from almost every employing community
in the United States
Backward turn backward, o lime in thy flight!
Let the mill whistles sound promptly tonight;
just as they sounded anear and abroad.
Before we voted protection a fraud"
Let the smoke pour again out of the stacks,
And we Will pay without m urmur the dinner
pail tax;
No one will grumble and no one will shirk.
II you'll just give us work, Grover, just give
us work!
We have grown tired of walking the street,
Little ones waiting for something to eat.
Tired of hearing our congressman spout,
Tired of reading that you have the govt.
So If you care tor us as you pretend,
Why don't you hustle so matters shall mend?
Danger and suffering in idleness Turk,
Give us some work, Grover, give us some work.
If it's true that the tariff was robbing us sure,
And with it prosperity could not endure.
Since we all voted against it now isn't it
strange,
That not the first man of us has any change
Except in condition. for it's true that we all
Have lost the good jobs we were holding last
tall;
Skilled artisan, Iaborer, weaver and clerk,
We're all out OF work, Grover, all out of work.
II it's true. as they say. that impatient you
yearn,
To do the poor men of your land good turn,
Why don't you just do it?-not talk through
your hat,
And then the dear people will know where
you're at.
Say that free traders may clamor in vain;
Say that the tariff unchanged shall remain:
Say 1t loud, clear, and plain. without bubble
or quirk,
And wen all go to work, Grover, all go to

The lack of moral courage or ''back-
bone" Is very noticeable in many people,
and it is a rare thing to find man who
dare to say no to any proposition that he
may think Objectionable. To be "all
things to all men" Is much more conye-
ly on the side where ones convictions
lead. In the matter OF signing papers is
this particularly seen. One man will en-
dorse promissory note for another, not
to say no, and then the endorser quietly
works among those who are to pass upon
the paper, and requests them to turn it
down. Another writes letter endorsing
a candidate for postmaster, and then
hastens to Washington to tell the repre-
sentative that he did not mean what he
said. A petition of a would-be Office
holder often secures signatures of those
made. An instance of this nature has
been given within the past month. A
person has been given an Office on the en-
dorsement of fellow-ctizens. The latter
are now kicking against the ''shock to the
community" and many who signed the
petition, say they never dreamed she
would be named for the position, and
signed their names merely as an act OF
courtesy" What an admission. They
put their names to a paper making a re-
quest that it was secretly hoped would be
disregarded To the average mind it
would appear more courageous and more
honest to act consistently in the first
place; then there will be no room for re-
oret

One of the most foolish stories sprung
on the public during the present State
Senate muddle was that in the New York
World, last week, that four Democrats
were going to join the Republicans in
their effort to break the deadlock, for
which they were to receive $4,000.
Senator Perkins was in the list of those
willing to serve the Republicans, but that
official Indignantly denies that any pro-
position was ever made to him. He
thinks that the whole story was concocted
by the race track interests to hold some
Democrats who have grown weary of the
way things are being carried on. Mr..
Perkins says: 1.-THE people of Burlington
county are unelterably opposed to the race
tracks, and it is my desire to follow their
wishes" If he really is sincere in this he
should. without delay. help to break the
deadlock, for he admits that the race track
people do not want it broken, and he well
knows that the people of Burlington
county wish the Republican Senators re-
cognized. If it is Ibis desire to follow
their Wishes" he should lose no time in
getting in at once.
Political events in the Democratic par
ty during the past two weeks have not
been of nature to heal the factional diff
ferences that have disrupted that organi-
zation. Joshua Earl has been virtually

in the name of his wife, The hand of
the Wills Hendrickson faction is plain to
be seen in this deal. and the bomb of an
anarchist, thrown with terrific effect, could
not have created more CONSERVATION and
bitter feeling than this appointment has.
The anti-Hendrickson crowd swore, not
only deer, butloud and long.and threatened
vengeance of all kind Ex-Judge Wills
wanted to succeed James w. Caldwell as
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue.
His opponents presented the name of r.
Harry Page. who was backed by Senator
Perkins. The latter official, however,
has fallen from grace in his own party,
and it was deemed advisable to teach
him lesson, so change in candidates
was made and William Rogers, defeated
aspirant for the SherifPs Office, was put in
the field. But Page was selected, and the
position to-day is rather mixed. The
Wills Hendrickson faction derive much
pleasure in the fact that they have made
an appointment that has caused the enc
mics in their own household more annoy
ance and anger than anything they have
done for years. On the other hand, SEN
ator Perkins, disliked by both wings,
claims all the credit for the APP
pointment of Page, and feels that he is
