ORANGE, Jan. 20 1SsS.-It has just been
learned that Annie Hughes, secretary to
Mrs. Ballington Booth of the American
Volunteers, was attacked in Orange While
on her way home last Saturday evening.
She resided on Bridge street and it was
while turning into that thoroughfare that
she was struck on the head with blunt
instrument, which felled her to the
ground. Miss Hughes was foundly partly
stunned a few moments later and re-
moved to her home.
The matter was reported to the police,
but they have kept the matter quiet. The
Chief would not even admit today that
an assault had occurred, and said he had
nothing to give out for publication. 1t is
learned, however, that Miss Hughes. was
not seriously injured. 1t is believed the
object was robbery, but as nothing was
stolen from her it is thought that her as
sailant became frightened and fled with
1t is said that the police have q local
fear he would escape them if the fact OF
the assault became public.

[From the Philadelphia Record" y

[From the Philadelphia "Record."1
When it was urged that the inevitable
effect of high duties ON the raw ma
terials of manufactures is to enhance
their cost, and thus check their expecta-
ton, the argument was dismissed with
the remark that this country needs no
export trade What, it was asked, is
foreign trade worth in comparison with
the home market? But industrial and
commercial conditions are undergoing a
great change, and it has become neces-
sary to redress the Protectionist argu-
ment. 1t is found advisable to retreat
from the position that high prices en-
HANGED by the tariff are a blessing to
consumers; so now the Protectionist or
gans have begun to pipe out of another
hole. We now hear that the Dingley
tariff does not increase the cost of COM
modities, and never will. The farmers
are told that the low prices (promoted by
the tariff enable them to purchase their
necessaries at small cost, and at the
same time greatly stimulate the country's
export trade, thus affording an outlet for
surplus manufactures that would else ac-
cumulate unSold in the warehouses.
This is all true enough, barring the
assumption that the tariff makes low
prices. But we have long been familiar
with the wonder-working power of the
tariff. When prices fall, it is the tariff
and when they rise, it is by the same
power. When prices are high, the tariff
shuts out foreign products, gives Ameri-
can manufacturers control of the home
market, and makes export trade unne-
cessary. When prices fall, the tariff gives
wholesome stimulus to export trade
and workshops. In fact, it is impossible
for the plain mind to reconcile all the
strangely contradictory operations of this
miraculous tariff power when touched by
the hand of Protectionist magicians

RARRINGTON'S CRITICS.
The Pocket Contractor Accused
of Not Collecting Garbage
Properly.

Street and Water Commissioner Heintze,
who is chairman of the Committee on
Streets, this afternoon served notice on
Contractor Thomas Harrington that he
must report at the Street and Water
Board office tomorrow morning at ten
o'clock.
Mr.: Harrington and his son James have
the contract for removing the ashes ana
garbage. If the complaints that reach
Commissioner Heintze are true, Harring-
ton is not performing his duties as he
should, and his men are demanding pay
to remove ashes and garbage.
Harrington was directed to report to
but he ignored the summons. If he fails
to put in an appearance tomorrow, 1t Is
likely that he will be officially notifled
to suspend the collection of ashes until
| he makes certain explanations.
Merchants have complained that Har-
rington positively refuses to collect pa
pers and such stuff that are placed IN
barrels or other receptacles. 1t is also
charged that he refuses to collect saw
dust that is swept from butchers shops
and saloons.
Commissioner Heintze has made an in
vestigation and finds evidence tending to
show that Harrington is refusing to 90
many things because, it is alleged, his
predecessor did not do them.
This afternoon Mayor Hoos. was startled
by the receipt of the following communi-
cation:-
Hon. Mayor Hoos.
Dear Sir--I do not like to find fault,
but the circumstances are such that
am compelled to do So Last week the
men employed collecting ashes came to
our store and demanded pay. This
was refused because we had never
been asked to do so before by the men
Neither did we think there was any
reason why we should pay for such
work They refused to empty our ash
barrels and left them on the sidewalk
with the excuse that they contained
paper. we do not US sawdust in our
store and our barrels simply contain
ashes and the waste paper that col
lects. We never had any trouble un-
der the old contractor and see no
reason why it is we should be 1ncon-
venienced in this matter.
BY attending to our complaint you
will greatly oblige,
Yours very truly,
1877 Ocean avenue.
Mayor Hoos forwarded the complaint to
Commissioner HeintZe with instructions
to make a rigid investigation.
1t is probable that Mr.. Laney will be
requested to appear before the Street ana an
it is expected, demand of Harrington that
he dismiss the offender or offenders from
his employ at once. Commissioner
Heintze says he proposes reading the riot
live up to the terms of his contract. If
he does not follow the specifications it is
not unlikely that steps will be taken to
revoke the contract.

Kitchen Measures.

Young housekeepers are frequently
both puzzled and annoyed by the diff
ferent terms used In different cook
books. Generally all ingredients are
measured by the cup, pint and quart. So
when an author advises that one put
half pound of sugar into a certain prep
aratiop the uninitiated housewife is
seized with despair when she recalls
the fact that her scales are broken or
that she has none. One woman who
insists that measuring with a cup and
spoon is good enough" for her had the
following rules copied on the typewri.
ter. and tackled on her kitchen wall:
One pound of liquids equals one pint.
One ounce of flour equals two table,
spoonfuls. One pound of butter equals
two cupsful. One pound of flour equals
four cupfuls. One pound of granulated
sugar equals two large cupsful. One
pound of powdered sugar equals two
and a half cupsful
