ASBURY PARK, Dec. 81, 1S94.-Prob-
ably ninety-one hundredths Of the pub
lie school teachers of New Jersey have
forfeited aheir licenses to teach and do
not know 1t.
A law passed at the last session Of
the Legislature provided that, to en-
courage patriotism, proper and appro-
pirate exercises shall be held in all the
public schools of the State on the Fri
day preceding Thanksgiving Day, Wash
ington's Birthday, Memorial Day and the
Fourth of July. The act prescribes the
character of the exercises to be held
and in the Third Section says
THAT the school authorities are au-
thorized and directed to cancel and re-
woke the certificate of license of any
principal or teacher who refuses or neg
lects to provide for or conduct exercises
as prescibed.%
So far no such exercises have been
reported as held in this county on the
Friday preceding Thanksgiving Day, and
1t is doubtful that any such were held
in compliance with the new law.

CHANCELLOR McGILL denies that ne
has ever said to anyone that he would
accept the Democratic nomination for
Governor. This is an important correc-
ton of the story current in political
circles last week. But the Chan
cellor adds. in answer to a re
porter's query, that he has never said
he would not accept the NOMINATION.
In a word he has not committed him
self on the subject at all.
But does anyone doubt that the Chan
cellor would accept the nomination ii
rendered to him by a Convention of the
party. The Chancellor's patrlolc sense
of duty would be far too strong for him
to refuse the call.

COUNT MARSHALL EXAMINED.

Count Marshall, who insists that he
is a Count of the Holy Roman Empire,
and who now is confined In a cell in
the Hudson County Jail for an alleged
swindling transaction, was examined be-
fore a New York Commission on Sat
urday afternoon last in reference to
the charge. Marshall, as "The News
has already told, opened a restaurant
in New York and induced John Guitti-
enne to put $4,000 into the concern. Three
thousand dollars of this was returned,
and the remainder Guittienne claims
that Marshall swindled him out of.
Marshall skipped from New York
with his sister and was arrested in Tay-
lor's Hotel, lunching off a hot bird and
cold bottle. Guittienne is trying to ex-
tradict the bogus Count.

A CHESTNUT PUDDING.

To make a chestnut pudding, bake or
boil twenty-five chestnuts, rub their
pulp through a sieve, and place this
in a double boiler with half a pint OF
cream, four ounces of butter, three
ounces of sugar, a little vanilla and a
little salt. Stir over a slow fire till i,
thickens, then quicken the motion OF
the spoon to prevent the mixture from
sticking to the bottom of the stew
pan. As soon as it shrinks away from
the sides OF the stewpan, remove from
the fire, add four yolks and the whites OF
three perfectly fresh eggs whipped firm.
Pour the pudding mixture into a plain
mold, previously spread with butter,
and steam 1t for an hour and a half.
When the chestnut pudding is cooked
turn it carefully out of the mold and
pour some warm diluted apricot jam
over it.-Exchange.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 81, 1S94.-The
work. of the Commissioners on Tax APP
peals, recently returned to the Tax Col
lcctor, shows in the aggregate a re-
duction of the tax duplicate by $3.50, 900.
The important action of the commits
sion was the removal from the dupli-
cate the increased tax placed upon
beach front property over hat assessed
against it by the assessors, amounting
to 5000, 600. The commissioners refused
to remit any part of the tax placed upon
local banking institutions, which en-
tered complaint that the Government
would collect an income tax from them,
and the tax burden would be onerous if
the city also enforced it's levy upon the
stockholders, which was increased heav-
lily over last year. The commissioners
in nearly every instance refused to re-
duce the taxi placed upon corporations.
BY the reduction of the duplicates
the city will lose at least SIS, 900 in reve-
nue., which the treasury cannot very
handily be deprived of this year.
