reporter Mr. Morss said
I haven't seen an American paper for quite

grounds, where have eight distinct buildings

course some OF these exhibits might be better.
but even Europeans praise them. Fine arts, the
varied industries, and such exhibits made
by the Army and Navy and merchant marine are
which Americans may well be proud.
The Forest and Fisheries exhibits very fine,
is also that Of agricultural machinery. The
best proof IN the world that we have good exhibits
there Is that, next to Germany, drawing
more medals than any other nation. The feeling
the last Paris Exposition, eleven years ago has
entirely changed. Then there were hardly any
Germans III Paris. but many Englshmen. Ger
many had practically exhibits. while Great
Britain had many. To-day Paris is fun Of Ger
mans. and there are few Englishmen.
On board the Potsdam. which arrived yesterday
from Rotterdam and Boulogne, were Dr. J. W
Bauer. Professor John W. White J. V. Wierdsma
and A Rypperda Wierdsma.

There is a suspicion that the remark by
Charles c. Black president of the New-Jersey
State Board of Taxation. that the assessors Of
Atlantic City ought to be indicted by the Grand
Jury" because of their failure lawfully to per-
form their duties. would apply with equal force
to other localities in the State. Indeed. Major
Carl Lentz who is also a member of the Board
has intimated the same belief with regard to a
part of Essex County.
As a strict matter of fact. is the law literally
enforced anywhere in the State?
