CHRISTMAS CANDIES.
A Word About Qualities and Prices
Of Candies.

There are thousands of tons of can
(! dies in stock for the Christmas trade.
| In no class of commodities does the
| pr0verb-" Appearance are often de-
ceiving," apply with more force than
to candies. The variety is almost
endless, and prices vary in proportion
even in candies bearing the same
name and which are similar in APP
pearance, though great is the differ
ence in pricei
Take chocolate creams, for instance,
which run from twelve to seventy
five cents poundsat wholesale. The
reason is plain when it is considered
coated with cheap chocolate and cocoa
batter, favored with TONGA beans and
vaneline--substitute for vanilla-at
one-tenth cost. Those of higher price
are heavily coated with the best Cara
cas- or Marjcabo chocolate, and flavor
ed with single, double or triple vanilla
of best quality. while the interiors
or creams--are likewise favored.
In the case of Jordan Almonds--take
ten pounds of roasted Jordon Almonds
and coat them with three pounds OF
sugar, and they constitute the high
priced goods. Reverse the quanti-
ties--three pounds of small almonds
and ten pounds of sugar-and the
price is reduced fully two-thirds,
while the name and appearance of the
goods remains the same.
These are the classes of goods often
advertised to be sold at 30 Cts, worth
40 cts. 60 cts, worth so cts, because
it is generally known that the other
fellow, who prides himself upon keep
ing the very best goods, sells them
for so cts. per pound.
The undersigned is one who claims
to sell goods with reference to their
intrinsic quality and cost, looking
of course for proper per centage OF
profit. In the last proposition he is
doubtless very much like The other
fellow, except the latter makes lar
ger profit.
To sum it NIL mp, many of the cheap
plain candies are excellent. Sugar
and glucose can be pat together in
many attractive FORMS and would be
good but for the ether havors used to
still further cheaper them. For this
reason many of the very cheap goods
are vile.
We conduct our business to merit
the confidence of the people, and very
respectfully solicit a continuance Of
the patronage so long most libeD ally
bestowed.

That Orange pest House.

The authorizes of the city of Orange
planned a clever comp in the erection OF
a temporary hospital for the treatment
Of the ten patients now sick with small
pox. and the sick persons were removed
to the building Tuesday night and are
comfortably housed there, while he city
has no fear OF iujunctions or restraining
orders, since no court would grant one
after patients were in ths hospital.
Driven from one place TO another in
attemptsto erect building, and thwart-
ell at every point, the city finally
decided to close an unused street one
block long and erect the hospital in the
middle. In taking this action the anrhor
titles have placed themselves in position

coNcERNINc SPITE FENCES.

The man who delights IN ssfixing" his
Dext-door neigbbor by building a spite
fence is likely to get into trouble here
after if he continues his practice. Vice
Chancellor Pitney on Tue2day rendered
a decision defining just how far warning
neighbors may go in the erection of spite
fences. The decision was given in thu.
suit of Abram Bloom of Paterson, against
Christian Koch to enjoin him from
maintaining a board fence twenty. five
feet high that shut off the light from
Blooms windows. Koch's defense was
that ne was compelled to erect the fence
to prevent Blooms tenants from throw
ing their garbage on the lawn in front
of his house.
In his decision, the Vice. Chancellor
took the ground that the erection of a
spite fence was not in itself violation
OF the law, but that when it shut OF the
light and air it was an infringement OF
property rights. He decided against
Koch because the fence was only eigh-
leen inches from the adjoining property.
1t is supposed that the ruling of the
Vice-Chancellor would apply equally as
well to brick spite wall.

Speaker Henderson OF the House OF
Representatives has honored New Jersey
by appointing as chairman of the com
mittee on Currency and Banking. Con
gresham Fowler Although Morris was
not in the district which voted to send
Mr.. Fowler to Congress, yet without
doubt he will be the nominee in the new

The ability of Mr.. Fowler has been
recognized by this appointment. To.
day there is no one in Congress SO well
eouipp d to handle the financial question
as the new chairmansof this important

made a careful study and SO thoroughly
familiar is he with the question that the
National Republican Committee asked
him to speak during the last presidential

Chairman Payne, of the House Ways
and Means Committee, has present.
ed to his Republican colleagues a
revenue tariff bill for the Philippines
which he had drawn to meet the CON
ditions Of the recent supreme Court
decision. The Republican members

morning to continue the discussion
of the general subject. The meet
ing was executive and was prelimin-
airy to full meeting, of the commit
tee to be held later, when Phil
ippine tariff measure will be submit
ted to the Democratic members and
be voted upon.
The Payne bill is quite brief with
two main features viz: applying the
Dingley law as against Philippine ok.
ports to this country, and applying
the Philippine commissions tariff
schedule TO goods entering the Philip.
pines. A further section grants .
rebate Of customs tax on goods which
have paid an internal tax revenue.

that II shall be temporary SO that the
rates if imposed would be applicable
