Az TO ray Exemptions.

Tax exemption in this State has ABOUT
reached the breaking point. The hgures
disclosed by the State TAX COMMISSION
and embodied in a Trenton letter M
our news columns today. are calculated
to stagger even the EXTREMIST advocate
of special privileges.
The deduction for debts can hardly be
regarded as an exemption unless it can
be shown that they are not figured IN
as assets of the creditor class. 1t Is n
sensical to attempt to Impose taxes upon
a man for what he does not own. If this
exemption were disallowed. the result ITO
the state would be exactly what 1t IS
now. for, naturally. all assessment OF
bnIs receivable and credat accounts
should cease. The eNtremest tax-fiend
WIN hardly insist upon taxing the same
value twice over.
But, leaving out this element, we find
that in 1888 there was over sixty-eight
millions of property exempt in the state
on the ground Of its use for school,
church and cemetery property, or I'M
der the veteran clauses. Besides this there
are the fabulous sums exempt, in Whole
or in part. from levy on account OF It's
use for railroad purposes:
The burden is pfiing up upon private
property owners. until it is well nigh

JOHN, YOU'RE A LUCKY DOG.
Ladies' of the Traction Company Pei.
form a Graceful Act of Kindness.

Mr.. John Terrier, the very obliging and
courteous young gentleman who runs the
elevator in the First National Bank
Building, this morning was just getting
his indiarubber holder out of his pocket
preparatory to a busy day of ups and
downs, when a pretty young woman
from the Consolidated Traction Com
pany's offices, on the fourth floor of the
building, beckoned to him to come into
the room, where a .bevy of very charm
ing aides attend to the transfers of the
company. John walked in wonderingly,
and his establishment was complete hen
Mrs. Maxwell, the head of the depart
ment, mad a graceful little speech,
wished him a happy Christmas and hand
ed him a beautiful silver match case
and a silk handkerchief with his mono
gram worked on it.
Speech, speech" cried the ladies, en-
joying Johns embarrassment immensely.
1t needed a great deal of courage to face
seven pairs of pretty eyes; but John
brought that virtue to the sticking point
and thanked the fair donors for their
bhoughtfulness. He then Withdrew amid
as much delighted in giving as Mr..
Ferrier did in receiving such pretty
things.
The ladies who performed the gra-
cious act were Mrs. Maxwell, Misses
Florence Maxwell, Mae Baker, Nlla

TANGLED UP ACCOUNTS.
Expert Reports on Camden's Fl.
naneial Condition No
Proper Audit Since
1892.

CAMDEN. Dec. "a, 1S95.-Ex-City
Comptroller Samuel Hufty. who was EN-
ployed by the Finance Committee of
Camden City Council as an expert to ex-
anime and audit the tangled accounts
of City Treasurer Michelion. appeared
before that body last night and stated
that he would not be able to make a
report for weeks. He said that the ex-
animation he had already made showed
that SAT, 1000 worth of D of bonds,
which had been paid. had never been en-
tered in the cash book. and that the
books had not been properly audited
since 1882. Some accounts, he declared,
had not been posted as far back as
1888.
After receiving this startling informa-
ton, the committee adjourned without
taking action until Thursday night
This partial report from Colonel Hufty
will be presented to the City Council
at its meeting on Thursday night. 1t is
probable that the office of Treasurer
will be declared a and hat a sue
cessor to Fran F.. MicheIlon will be
elected. The fact that $47,0 900 could lave
been paid out of the city's Golfers with
out a proper record to show 1T is but
another item in the general count OF
dissatisfaction, and the Republican lead
measures are necessary. The
spring campaign will open in a month,
and all these things will count against
the present administration.

PULLING YHE WIRES.
Trolley and Telephone Issues
Before the Street and
Water Board.

knights of Labor Assembly No. 1871
communicated with the Street and Wa
ter Commissioners, at their meeting yes
rerday demonstrating against the grant,
ing of permission to the Consolidated
Traction Company to operate freight
cars on it's lines in this city without
exacting a handsome annual fee for the
privilege. The Knights also alleged the
company is running cars in a certain
section of the city without a conductor.
The Commissioners think there is a mis-
take about this. The communication
was filed.
The Board gave the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company a con-
tract to construct a telephone connec-
ton between the High Service pump
ing station and Belleville. The new line
is not to cost the city more than $500 a
year.
The ordinance for the relief of the
Home Telephone Company was not
taken up. COMMISSIONS Kaiser. in
whose committee the ordinance is, does
not approve of granting such an ordin-
ance at this time Of the year. He con-
tends that the tearing up Of the streets

practically impossible to replace them
in good condition no matter how care
fully work was done.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Academy of Music.

That amusing jamble of me1odrama,
drama. comedy, farce and vaudeville,
Eight Bells is back again at the Aead-
envy of Music this week and received a
warm welcome last night. The chief thing
in the performance is the really clever
aerebatic work of the Byrnes Brothers.
Take their business out and the play is
exceedingly fiat. The ene of Eight
Bells is constructed especially for these
agile brothers, and they go sailing
through the windows, jumping headlong
through the sides of the houses and
tumbling through a trick coach in the
most reckless startling manner. The
best scene is in the second act, when the
interior of adjoining state rooms on an
ocean steamer is shown to the audience.
The plot, if one there be, is the dual love
adventures of Mr.. McGoZzle and the
..Scholmarm," who has another husband
in Europe, and they ultimately meet him
who has been seeking his tickle spouse
with a carving knife. Intermingled with
this warp is a wool of dances, songs and
funny dialogues, all of which are funny
and irresistible. The Byrnes Brothers
are so well known that it is only neces-
sary to say that their business was "out
of sight" and often it was. Harry E.
Baker made a hit with his amusing per-
Torrance of mama's baby boy, n the
Misses ST. John, Charlotte and Bessie
Phillips. distinguished themselves in dane
a capital piece for Christmas week, when
fun, jollity and good win to all are the
ruling sentiments. There will be the

EXHIBITION OF FINE FURNITURE
Mr.. John Mullins Recent Purchase

Oftha Products of Two Factories.
Mr.. John Mullins, the well-known
merchant of this city, has recently
made a big purchase of furniture. He
has bought all the furniture stock of
the Rome Company of North Carolina
and the Elliott Furniture Company of
Georgia, two of the largest factories
of their kind in the country. Mr.. Null
Inns, with that enterprise which dis
tinguishes all his business transactions,
a shipped the goods rapidly to the
city, and they are now on exhibition in
his big store at Newark avenue. The
stock consists of a remarkably fine coll
lection of bedroom suites, ~chiffoniers
and dressers, all the richest of quar-
tered oak of elegant design and first-
class workmanship. These he is offer
ing at fifty per cent: below the ORR
ginal cost of manufacture. Having
bought the goods at a very low figure
he is thus enabled to place the very
best style of furniture, for which New
York houses with immense rents to
pay charge ~extravagant prices, at fig
ures within the reach of those of mode
rate means. All of the suites. dress
ers, etc., are open to inspection, and
those who can appreciate excellence of
manufacture may have an opportunity
to see it in the goods which Mr.. Mullins
has now exposed for sale.

THE oePPER's READY GUN.
Pistols to BE Carried So That Burg
lars Way BE Promptly Shot.

Burglars and thieves, from tramps up
to professional crooks, have been making
such free use of revolvers of late that
Chief Murphy this morning issued a
general order to meet the emergency. 1t
has been customary for policemen to
carry revolvers in their hip pockets. In
winter, when the men wear heavy over
coats and bundle themselves up in sweat
ers. it takes them about three minutes
to reach their In the mean
time burglars have ample time to fill
them with lead.
The experience Of Policeman Waters
yesterday with two burglars who shot
at him, resulted in the Issuance Of the
order this morning. Policemen will now
carry their revolvers in pockets placed
in the left skirt of their overcoats, a
few inches below he waist. This will
be handy for them and will better en-
able them to protect themselves.
On Saturday. the rule becomes opera
tive, and in the meantime officers will
carry their revolvers in their left breast
overcoat pockets.
If burglars do not surrender when
ordered the police are to use their re-
volvers. The Chief believes this move
