Kean then indulged in flight of elo-
quence, the burden of which was care
fully veiied intimation that somebody
somewhere had abused some power
The speechmaking had succeeded in
soaring up another throng and once more
the stream passed by. Some one remark
ed what a productive prace for twins.
triplets and quadruplets that section of
the city must be, judging from the great
resemblance many of the men bore to
some who had gone before. This led a
funny gentleman to remark that Colonel
Sam was producing his citizens like a
stage manager produces an army by keep
ing few supers marching round and
round behind thescenes. The funny man
was at once removed. There were a
great many women and children in the
throng. Mr.. Murphy patted the boys on
the head and kissed the little girls until
one little maiden protested so vigorously
against being kissed that Mr.. Murphy
gave it up. Senator Kean received as
much attention as Mr.. Murphy and was
particularly effusive toward the boys
Seems to me I've seen you before" he
said to- one bright little youngster who
came up and stuck out his hand.
"Yeth, thir. lisped the boy, conscious of
the greatness thrust upon him; "we'se
been around free times.''
.'Ha, ha! 1 told you so.' exclaimed the
funny man who had made his way back
INTO the room again. When the reception
was over the funny man said that Mr..
Murphy had shaken hands $500 times.
Seven hundred men, women and children
he declared, were present, and each went
by Mr. Murphy on an average five times.
When the handshaking was over Colonel
Dickinson took Mr.. Murphy and Senator
kean to an upper chamber. Someone
spread the rumor that there was some
thing to eat and drink up there and the
police had all they could do to keep the
mob off the stairs.
From the Dickinson Club the party was
driven to the Union League on Van Worst
Square. There Congressman Charles N.

TO SEE MRS. CHARTRANI

Try to Identify
Her.

The most important point that has de-
veloped so far in the investigation of the
Hoboken shooting tragedy is, in the opin-
ion of the police, the testimony of Will
lam Noelte. published in sThe News of
Yesterday. Noelte. who keeps a gun
store at No. 603 washington street, identi-
fed the revolver from which the fatal
shot was fred as one which he had sold
the day before the shooting to woman
whose description is similar tothat of
Mrs. Chartrand. Noelte has not been per-
mitted to see Mrs. Chartrand, conse-
ouentlv no Identification connecting her
with the purchase of the revolver has as
vet been made.
It was said that Noelte would visit the
County Jail today in company with De-
tectiye Sergeant Nelson of Hoboken, but
he had not been there up to noon.

Luminous Fungus.

Prof. D. McAlpine enumerates the
species of fungus. twenty-one in all, In
which luminosity (often incorrectly term
ed phosphorescence) has been observed.
OF the species eleven belong to the genus
Pleurotus, and five are peculiar to Aus
tralia. The luminosity Is not due to the
presence of phosphorescent bacteria, but
to a process of combustion in the fungus
itself, confined to the living tissue. II is
altogether dependent on the presence Of
oxygen, as also on a sufficiently high
temperature, but is not erected by
moisture. In all probability the light is
given off not within the organism. but
from luminous excreted metabolic pre-
ducts. 1t is probably useful to the fungus
in attracting insects which assist In the
dissemination of the spores.

Ne W ARK LIES
Statement That Democratic
State Committee Had
100000 Untrue.
SMITH GAVE ONLY $4,000
And That Was Distributed by
Chairman Gourley as He
Himself Directed.

/ Hudson county Democrats are much
amused over statements made in an ar
Il ticie which appeared in a Newark paper
/ last night. the substance of which was
| a charge that the funds subscribed to
| the State Democratic Committee for cam
/ paign purposes had been improperly ex-
i pended. 1t went on to say that out Of
/ 100000 sent to the committee, a beggarly
sum of $500 was sent to Essex county,
and that sum was contributed by ex-
United States Senator James Smith, and
1.-The balance was diverted from the several
counties in the State to be used in the
campaign in Hudson generally and Jersey
! City in particular. The writer stated that
/ Mr.. Smith himself gave a check for $1,000
and other prominent Democrats gave
1 mere pittances, and Hudson got the lions
share of the money.
| Now the bare truth is that one day a
few weeks ago Mr.. Smith walked into
the State Committees headquarters in
1 the Hotel Washington, and in the pres
ence of at least two members of the COM
mittee handed to Chairman w. B. Gour-
| ley a check for $1,000. When he had done
this he said to the Chairman that he de-
sired the amount should be distributed
| in a certain manner.
Howe" asked Mr.. Gour1eyS
"Well," replied Mr.. Smith, IT want
| 81, 800 of it to go to Essex county exclu-
sively.'' Then, continuing, the ex-Sena-
tor requested Mr.. Gourley to divide the
remainder as follows:-Te Mr.. Hoagland,
in Morris county, $1,000; to Millard Ross,
$500; to James N. Pidcock, $500, and $500
to an Individual in South Jersey.
Thus every cent of the Senator's con-
| tribution was apportioned in that way,
and Chairman Gourley made out his own
checks and forwarded to the parties nam
| ed the amounts stated.
"It will be seen, therefore" was the
sthat Mr. Smith didn't contribute any
thing to the States funds for the COM
mittee's distribution as in their discre-
| ton they saw fit
The statement that the funds of the
committee were used largely in Hudson
county was ridiculed by member of the
Democratic County Committee.
Why" said he, laughing heartily,
| .'that is utter bosh Hudson county has
never received a nickel from the State
Committees campaign fund. All the
| money used here we collected ourselves
from our own people. We don't look for
any help from the State Committee or
anybody else, for the matter of that, out
side Of Hudson. You can also say that
the statement made that 100000 was coll
lected is, know, utterly false. No such
sum nor anything like it was received"

NEW TAX RATE IS $3.50
1t Has Steadily Declined Under
Democratic Administra-
ton.

The Board of Tax Commissioners met
at 1880 this A. M. and adopted the follow
ing resolution:-"R Resolved, That the tax
rate for the year 1902 be and the same
is hereby fixed at $2S per $1,000 ratables, as
follows City, s2107; county, s5.S2; State
school, s1.61. Total, SIS.
The tax rate for the current year IS
S2S 20, for last year s2S.40 and for the Ole
preceding that $2S.60. It will thus be seen
that a Democratic administration has for
the past three years made reduction OF
twenty cents per ST. 900 ratables each Of
those years. The figures speak for them
selves and utterly refute the recent cais-
paign lies concerning alleged extrava-
sance.
