A Sudden Change

THE giving way Of summel
to winter is often very
quickly done, and unfortunately
the giving way of the human
beings by this change is often
as sudden and sad. But when
you stop to think, why should
it not be so? The pores OF the
skin are open, the muscles are
relaxed, the thermometer falls,
the winds blow, the pores are
closed and the body becomes
chilled, and then you are sick.
Now do you ever stop to think
that all this work is thrown
back upon-what? The kidneys,
nothing else. When the skin
does not throw off the waste OF
the body by perspiration, the
kidneys must do it, and too
often they cannot stand the sud
den strain.
You know, if you are well
read and in touch with the
times, that there is but one cure
for any kidney difficulty, but
one mean of preserving the
kidneys in health, and that is,
Warmers Safe Cure. So won
dcrful have been its results, SO
much has it accomplished, that
physicians, scientists and the
best informed people, both men
and women throughout the
world have admitted it. If you
are suffering from any form oil
chill, pains in the muscles, lack
OF appetite, headache, or the
many ills which come at this
special season, you should not
delay a moment, and you are
foolish if you continue to suffer
when you can SO readily obtain
relief.

HUNTING DEER IN JERSEY.
Many Parties of Sportsmen on the
Grounds EARLY This Morning.

~
MAYS LANDING, Oct. rs, 1S95.-The
short deer season. opened yesterday in
South Jersey and will continue until No
vernber 5. Many hunters are on the
ground, ali ready to kill the first deer.
A large party of Philadelphians arrived
Thursday night at Buena Vista, and
bright and early in the morning they
went to a place where the deer was most
likely to appear. There are parties from
Ocean, Salem, Cumberland and other
South Jersey counties on the deer
grounds.
John Rosenbaum and a party of Allan
| tic City residents arrived Thursday night
on the grounds and camped near Grassy
Pond. A party of men from Kensington,
under the leadership of Andrew Turner
| md Jacob Abrams, of the Red Lion
Hotel. and a half dozen others from Hun
tington County, are also hunting the
deer.
The season should be a good one, as
thousands Of orests ave been destroyed
by fires, which would make the woods
clearer and not SO dense. These forests
were at Deep Run, Grassy Pond, Maple
Branch, Bears River, Benefits Mills
and other good deer hunting grounds.

The Railway Taxation Move.

There are many different issues in the
present campaign of various degrees OF
cogency IN different parts of the State
blu all. we verify believe bearing strongly
in favor of the Democratic candidate.
The special question that interests Huo>
son County. and, in particular, Jersey
CITY. is that of railroad taxation. rms
is a matter of such colossal Importance
TO us that all other issues sink into
insignifcance in comparison with it.
In Jersey City. property is assessed at
s27.5O on the thousand-that is the prop
erty of private owners-it was as zig
as $3.50 in 1892. And the assessment
averages as high as seventy-fve or eighty
ner cent. of the market value of land.
Railroad property, which shares in every
benefit of municipal government equally
with other owners pays only 1 per cent
on a part of its holdings. On its main
nothing to municipal expenses If the
railroads paid an equal rate with other
property owners in Jersey City, the rate
for all would be reduced to about $40
on the thousand. and then much more
could be done for the development and
identifying of the city and the safe
guarding of the public peace tina is
done now.
There are within the corporate limits Of
Jersey City about I2.787 lots, subject to
taxation. The railroads own within the
same limits 4,49S lots. The number held
by the railroads is constantly increasing,
since year after year their growing bust
ness or their jealousy of each other
causes them to buy more and more prop
erty. So much for the actual extent of
property and it's ownership. The figures
show that the railroads own about one
fourth of all the territory in the city.
Now to the value:AThe railroad hold
ings are apprised at s22, 957, 400: these are
the latest official figures obtainable. Ac-
cording to the figures of the tax levy,
the assessed valuation of ali the. real es-
tate insJersey City is s7s.551 ,02O. Here the
proportion slightly 1aVors the r~airoaos,
but still they ppear as owning consider
ably more than one-ffth in point of value
of all the property in the city.
Now let us see how the burdens are APP
portioned:-
The railroads contribute to the expenses
of the city this year the sun of s226, 900.
The private property owners contribute
81, 1853, sss. of which about 81. 900, 900 is levied
upon real estate.
If the railroads were assessed at the
same rate as the other property owners
the amount they would a would be
about $4,000.
Need any more be said?

REV. F. MoRTIMER's TOUR.
The Rector of st. Marks Returns
From a TrIp Through Old SpaIn.

FROM n TIP AhkEOUSh OtG Sp0Ahs
The Rev. Frederic Mortimer, rector of
st. Marks Church., Jersey avenue, has re-
turned to his charge after a most delight
full tour through England, France and
Spain. He has been gone about four
months, and the trip has greatly benefited
both mind and body.
The rector was in his study yesterday
Afternoon immersed in details connected
with the approaching dedication services
in his church, when a Jersey Sity News
representative disturbed him to talk about
church matters and his trip.
"Oh, had a charming tour replied the
rector, and then in a graphic manner
proceeded to tell of the places he had
visited. 1t was quite evident that the
kindly rector had seen everything worth
seeing on his tour and he had used his
eyes well.
He went through England to Normandy,
revelling in the quaint sights of quaint
people in quaint cities. Passing through
the country of the Bretons and Tourairae,
with all it's hideous memories of Louis
XII, he reached Toulouse. Before, how
ever, crossing the Pyrenees he visited
Lourdes, saw the famous grotto and
mingled with the crowds OF pilgrims al
ways to be found worshipping at the
shrine of the Virgin, who appeared, IL Is
said, to the village maid. !,
Leaving Lourdes with it's churches and
| relics, Mr.. Mortimer ~journeyed through
| the land of the Moor, visiting the ancient
town of Burgos, will its curious cathe-
dral, wherein Wellington lodged his troops
before the attack on Soult's army during
| the Peninsular War. From old Burgos ne
went to the birthplace of Ignatils Loyola,
| the founder of the Jesuits. Here Mr..
Mortimer visited the Holy Cave where
Loyola saw the vision. Avela, the birth
| place of st. Theresa, was not overlooked.
Then our traveller visited MADRID, IN
| spected the famous palace of the Escu-
rial, the cathedral and other points OF IN
terest in the capital. Thence by train TO
| Toledo, with it's ancient mosque where
the naughty Bobabdil worshIpped.
Through Cordova and Seville he finally
reached in Granada the real home Of the
Moor, The Alhambra." This historic
| and beautiful spot Mr.. Mortimer careful
ly insuected and it made a deep impress
sion on him.
After a brief halt at old Ronda, the rec
tor reached Gibraltar, and when he had
exhausted all the sights of rock, fortified
| lions and relocated British soldiers, not
forgetting to visit the Spanish town, he
| sailed to New York, and is now once more
in harness invigorated by the tour, and
| his mind stored with facts which his par
ishioners fondly hope he will some day
spread out in a lecture "On Travels in

acting upon Mrs. Bancroft Robinson,s
idea. and have just elected Mrs. Slade
Church at Streatham Hill, London.
What makes her election noteworthy IS
that it was proposed by the minister n
the chief male deacon of the church
The clergyman, Rev. j. P; Gladstone,
made a speech, which was highly com
%plimented by the congregation and after
ward BY the denomination and ~ the
women as deacons in the church. He
said that historically the position was a
early Christian church the -deaconesses
were selected with the greatest care
In the first 500 years of Christianity no
scandal was ever attached to any
-deaconess. The deacons, on the contrary,
were selected with less care. New con-
verts, reformed men and ''b~acksliders"
were among those elected to the place.
AS a consequence, many proved unworthy
of the honor conferred upon them. In
this way the d~eaconesses held a posi-,
ton higher socially and legally, as well
as enthusiastically, than did the deacons.

ten of all property in their city, or
whether it would tend to perpetuate
tho present monstrous favoritism shown
the railroads.
Perhaps &t is unnecessary to go further,
in order TO settle this question. than to
remind the peopls that John w. Griggs
is a railroad lawyer. He is the principal
counsel of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railway. n of the great
trunk lines, for the State of New Jersey.
In this capacity he has repeatedly ap-
peared before the Legislature at Tren-
ton. or its committees to oppose any
modification of the existing law in the
direction of imposing upon his clients
any fairer share of the expenses of the
government.
Mr.. Griggs holds-rather his friends say
he holds that the acceptance of the pre-
sent one per cent. atrocity by the State
on the one hand and the railroads on the
other constitutes a sort of contract, bind
ing in morals if not in law, and he is
therefore convinced that this rate of one
per cent. must never be increased unless
it can be done with the free consent OF
the railway corporations.
Mr.. Griggs is u a consistent man.
