MARKING CLOTHES.

writing ones Name on Linen is as
Easy as ScrIbblfn. Ii.
A number of people shirk4 the very sim
pie task of marking their clothes legibly
aud permanently, and this, too: at a time
when almost ~eyefybody's things are sent to
a professional wash, to he mixed up with
heaps owned by strangers. Yet writing
ones name on a collar or handkerchief is
almost as simple as s%cribbling iton paper,
saws the New York Commercial Adteittsef.
A very little patience is required, and a fire
should be close at ham to fix the ink in
delibly. Printed tapes and letters to be
sewn on are well enough in their way, but
not much protection against an article be
ing stolen, as they can be picked off by any
body. A name conspicuously mixed on the
material is a better safeguard.
With new brands oil marking ink it is
necessary to pay some slight attention to the
directions issued with each bottle, 50 as not
to write with a steel pen when a quill is de
branded. nor TO use beat when none is re-
auired, nor to mix liquids wrongly when
two happen to be given. If a woman shrieks
out that two dozen. fine new handkerehiefs
and a whole batch of table napkins have
dropped into holes where she has printed her
name, she has evidently treated her chem
icals by the opposite plan to that advised.
However successful you may be yourself,
never recommend your own favorite make
of marking ink to anybody, for Tear the
process should be conducted the wrong way
and YOU receive the blame. Even among
our nearest and dearest friends there are
are some who insist in laundering over very
simple work. and it is best for them to learn
wisdom from their own exploits.

it will greatly improve not only the property

HaekenSaek.

The Board of Freeholders yesterday
granted the Jersey City, Harrison & Kearny
Electric Railway Company permission to
lay a double track across the iron bridge
over the Hackensack River at the foot OF
West Newark avenue. The benefits that
this city and the county at large will receive
from this action were explained by Free
holder Doscher before he cast his vote in
favor of the resolution. Mr.. Doscher said
'Ihave given this matter close and seri-
Gus attention, and | am convinced now that
in granting the railroad every reas enable
facility for operation, we confer a benefit to
Jersey City. This road Is almost completed
now, with the exception of tracks across the
bridge, and when it begins operation 1t
will be the link that will bring Harrison
and Kearny close to Jersey City, and
for ever kill the i'll advised proposition OF
Harrison and Kearny to desert this county
for Essex. By the means afforded by this
railroad, people in Harrison and kearny
may reach the Court House in fifteen or
twenty minutes, while now it sometimes
takes more than an hour People who now
go to Newark to shop and make purchases,
will be brought to this city by this road, and
we will derive the benefit OF their trade ana
Newark will lose it,"

informed the Board that it had supplied the
Hudson County Contracting Company with

Rock Company a balance of $3.50. Mr..
Bacot wanted the Freeholders to retain that
amount out of the money due the Contract
ing Company. the communication was filed
without any action being taken. A little
while later the board passed a resolution
paying the Hudson Contracting Company
S10.0 600 for grading the Boulevard from
Second street, Union Township to the Ber-
gen County Line.
The Freeholders were asked by the Della
ware Construction Company to pay the final

which resulted in a number of people being
killed and injured. 1t is claimed by the

administrator of John Herrick Rilnmer who
was killed in the collision, wants $4,000

cases, for the death of her husband. Rim
mer. was thirty-seven years old, and besides
a wife, a ten year old daughter survive him.

has advertised for sale a certain tract of
land, originally under water, in New York
Bay, for the alleged non payment OF taxes
from 1885 to 1890. The company claims that
they w the land and hold a lease to that
effect and pay an annual rental of SSSS.30 to
the State for it.
The city OF Bayonne, so the company
says, claims that the latter dispute the right
of the former to levy and assess any taxes
whatever upon the said lands. In 1891 Bay
onne's City Collector submitted certain as
sessments to the Commissioners of Adjust
ment, who fixed the tax upon the property
and made a report Of having done 50 to the
Hudson County Circuit Court. The court
confirmed the report, by virtue of which the
city of Bayonne claims to have a hen upon
the company's property for S6,S43.22. The
company state. that they had no notice of
the sitting of the commissioners. The city
advertised the property for sale, but upon
the %company's request, adjourned the sale
until August 10. The company now ask that
the city of Bayonne be restrained from sell
ing the land, and that it be required to
answer the company's complaint.
