President Robert j. Hoos, the only
Democrat in the Board, refused to sign
the affidavit taken by the members of the
Board, and entered in the assessment
books.
The affidavit reads as follows:-
We, Robert J. Hoes, Thomas J. Deg
nan and James G. Lindsay. Tax Commis-
sioners of Jersey City, New Jersey, do
solemHly swear that we have diligently
inquired respecting the nature and value
of all the real and personal estate liable
to taxation in said city, and have, to
the best Of our ability, and without par
tiaiity, valued all the said nroperty liable
to taxation in said city at its fair value
and at such price as in our Judgment
said property would sell for at a fair
and bona-ide sale.

Subscribed and sworn to before me at
Jersey City, this 26th day of November,
1900,
JAMES E. CONNOLLY,
Notary Public, State of New Jersey.
The Clerk was instructed to send the
books to the Finance Board for confrma
tion.
iMessrs. Degnan and Lindsay signed
their names to affidavits in SO books, II
of which were for the City Clerk, u for
the City Collector and - for the Tax
office.
The assessment books did not reach
day.
Inasmuch as the books will not be con-
firmed until late this afternoon, the City
Collector and his staff will not be able
to send the tax bills out until tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Davis's clerks are now at work on
Nthe bills.
Nearly 1900 requests have been made
for bills by people who are anxious to
pay their. taxes without delay and thus
cent interest per annum from the date
of payment until December 20. These
bills will be sent out first.
City Collector Davis made the an
nouncement this afternoon that taxes
for the year will be payable on and after
tomorrow. The collectors office will
be open between 9 A. NJ. and P. NJ,
with the exception of Saturday, when
the hours will be from 8 A. M. until
12 M.
The unofficial announcement was made
in local paper Wednesday that the
taxes would be payable this morning.
Nearly two hundred people called at the
City Hallsthis forenoon with fat pocket
books. They wanted to settle their obli-
cations with the city.
The majority of them approached
Hallman Flanagan and Elevatormen
Lutz and Berfield, in the main corridor,
and asked where they could get rid Of the
money. Many of them refused to, believe
that a mistake had been made, and made
inquiries in the City Collectors office.
Several went upstairs to Mayor Fagan's
office to find out why they wouldn't be
allowed to pay their taxes today.
As a rule the City Collector receives
the assessment books three or four days
before they are confirmed, which afforded
ample time in which to get the bills
ready for mailing. This year the books
were delivered five hours before the time
fixed for confirmation.
Although MIR. Davis's clerks realize
the fact that they are to be turned out
of office on January i. they win pitch in
with vim to- finish up the gigantic task
which confronts them

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.

Are you aware of the fact that a
small engine installed on your plan
tation will save you the hire of one
man and do the work of two horsesY
What we have reference to is a small
engine d. or 81 horsepower which
can be so arranged that it can be easily
carried about the plantation, worked
in the field, at the cane mill, small
grist-mill, shredder, feed chopped, or
for saving wood in the new ground;
then it can be placed under the shed
at the house for saving wood, pump
ing water, churning, or anything of
the kind. Such an engine will cost
something less than $50, and the cost
of operation will not exceed two cents
an hour. There is no expense while
running. 1t is absolutely safe. Re
quires no engineer, 15-year-old boy
can start it, and after being started
you don't have to look at it again until
you wish to stop it. 1t can be started
in five seconds in summer or winter.
No fire to be kept up, no smoke, no
steam boiler to be constantly watched.
II you are interested call at THE
LEADER Office and make inquiries.

THE OLEO BILL.

AS it passed the U. S. Senate, the
oleomargarine bill differs in some re-
spects from that passed by the house
of representatives. 1t provides that
oleomargarine and kindred products
shall be subject to all the laws and
regulations of any state or territory or
the District of Columbia into which
they are transported, whether in orig
inal packages or otherwise; that any
person who sells oleomargarine and
furnishes it for the use of others, ex-
cept to his own family, who shall mix
with it any artificial celebration that
causes it to look like butter, shall be
subject to tax provided by the existing
law; that upon oleomargarine colored
so as to resemble butter tax of 10
cents pound shall be levied, but
upon oleomargarine not colored the
tax shall be one fourth of / cent per
pound; that upon adulterated butter a
tax of 10 cents pound shall be levied;
and upon all process or renovated
butter the tax shall be one-fourth of l
cent per pound. The manufacturers
of process or renovated butter or of
adulterated butter shall pay an annual
tax Of 600, the wholesale dealers shall
pay tax Of $3.50, and the retail deal
ers tar Of el6 per annnm.

A Cold Winter.

In The Herald's local columns of
Sunday there was some instructive in
formation as to the severity of the
past winter. That notice did not,
however, exhaust the interesting
features of the meteorological sum-
maries of the three winter months,
especially when considered collec-
lively. The mean temperature for
December was the lowest for that
month since 1S78-both registering
45. The lowest December tenn perature
in the past thirty-one years was 1876
40. The mean for January, 1902, was
the same as December preceding-4o
This was the lowest since 1892, which
was Al. The lowest January tempera-
ture in the past thirty one years was
1868. The mean for February,
1902, was 44-the lowest since 1899
was Al. That was the lowest for Feb
ruary in the past thirty one years,
though 1895 marked the same. Thus
we see that each of the past winters
months were unusually cold, and far
below the average of thirty-oDe years;
which is so for December, 48 for JAN
uary and 50 for February.
AS whole the winter past was the
coolest in thirty one years, at least,
except that of 189S-99. The three
months mean for each of these two
years was the same-45. For the
winter of 1901-02, however, the cold
has been more uniformly distributed.
1t was the extreme cold of February,
1899, that lowered the average of the
whole winter of that year, to level
with the winter just past. The rain
fall of December last was far above
the average-January and February
far below. 1t is the cold rather than
the rain that has so retarded planting
operations.-Vicksburg Herald.

Coronation Nonsense.

1t appears that this nation must send
a delegation to bow and scrape when
King Edward is crowned.
The people of the United States will
pay for this delegation. But it is some
comfort to know that the people at
least will not spend the money with
the consent of their representatives.
There are enough Senators and
Representatives of sensible, patriotic
and genuinely democratic turn of mind
to oppose any appropriation for such
purpose.
Therefore the State Department,
turning the corner ingeniously, pro-
poses to draw upon another fund and
spend the money for the Kings coro-
nation without the consent of the peo-
pie who are lakeland pay.
This is shifty evasion. Means ought
to be found to prevent the expendi-
ture of the money, even in an under
hand manner.
ouG UhCIS II OODlO COullOIU III hhOW-
ing that the money to be spent in a
manner so offensive to American prin-
ciples is not spent with the peoples
consent.
1t is to be hoped that the honest
Democrats and Republicans in both
houses of Congress will ask some
questions as to the spending of the
peoples money.
Incidentally, those who ask the ques-
ton might also ask this question:
The United States is about to spend
money to honor the browning of a King
in England. Would it not be better
to spend that money to honor the
Inauguration of a President in Cuba?
Has not the United States more
reason to be interested in the birth of
new republic than in the perpetual
ton of monarchy?-Chicago Ameri-
can.

No use to hunt tigers with

Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. 1t is stealthy,
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to ohunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's only bird-shot.
1t still advances. Good heavy
charges of SCOTS Emulsion

disease feels that.

DEATH OF REV. 4. DEWITT tai
MAGE.

This eminent divine passed from
earth that had been made glad by his
presence aud his power, last Saturday
night at his home in Washington City,
after prostration of several weeks from
a complication of diseases. Inflamma-
ton of the brain was the immediate
cause of his death. For many hours
previous he had lain unconscious, and
the last rational words uttered by him
were to his daughter, just after her
marriage a few days before he died,
when he said: "Of course, know you,
Maude".
DR.. Talmage was taken very ill on
recent trip to Mexico and never recoy
cred. On his way to the Mexic
Capital, he stopped in New Orleans
and preached to congregation larger
than had ever before assembled to hear
any proclaimer of the Gospel message.
His exhortation to aged ministers at
that time was sublime, and now it
seems individually prophetic. The fol
lowing is passage from his discourse:
"Fret not, We aged ones. Just tarry
by the stuff aud wait for your share of
the spoils. Yonder they are coming.
l hear the bleating of the fat lambs, and
see the jewels CLINT in the sun. 1t
makes me laugh to think how you will
be surprised when they throw a chain
of gold over your neck and tell you to
go in and dine with the King. see
you backing out because you feel un-
worthy. The shining ones come up on
the one side and the shining ones come
up on the other side, and they push
you on, and they push you up, and
they say: "Here is an old soldier of
Jesus Christ, and the shining ones
will rush out towards you and say:
"Yes, that man saved my sonf. And
then the cry will go round the circle,
"Come in, come in, come up, come up;
we saw you away down there, old and
sick and decrepit and discouraged, and
crying because you could not 60 to the
front, but "As his part is that goeth
down to battle, SO shall his part be

IN MENIORIAM.

Strong son Of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;
Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest life In man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and 10, thy foot,
Is on the skull which thou hast made.
Thou will not leave us in the dust;
Thou madest man, he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die;
And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.
Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, hottest manhood, thou:
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Our wills are ours, to make them thine.
Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And thou, o Lord, art more than they.
We have but faith; we cannot know;
For knowledge is the things we see;
And yet we trust 1t comes from Thee,
beam in darkness; let it grow.
Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence In us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make our music as before,
But Vaster. We are fools and slight;
We mock Thee, whom we do not fear
But keep Thy foolish ones to hear;
Keep thy vain words to bear thy light.
Forgive what seem'd my sin in me;
What seemed my worth since began;
For merit lives from man to man,
And not from man, o Lord, to Thee.
Forgive my grief for one removed.
Thy creature whom found so fair
/ trust he lives in Thee, and there
/ find him worthier to be loved.
Forgive these wild and wandering cries,
Commissions of a wasted youth;
Forgive them where they fail In truth,
And In Thy wisdom make me wise.

The chancery clerk in this issue
publishes notice to justices of the
peace" says the Carthagenian, (which
they will do we'll to heed. 1t relates to
that provision of the code which re-
quires of magistrates semi-annual re-
ports of fines and penalties imposed
by them. The law makes such reports
obligatory, and wisely SO, as the money
arising from fines and penalties goes
into the county treasury and contrib
utes a part of our financial system. 1t
may not be amiss to state that magis-
trate who fails to make the reports on
the days named renders himself liable
to removal from office and to be fined

required by law to be made on the first

neglect to make them are liable to get

Exposition Commissioner II. III.
Henry.

y
While the editor of the Clarion
Ledger, Mr.. r. H. Henry, was not on
the slate of announced candidates for
State Exposition Commissioner, his Sc
lection is one that is unassailable and
unexceptionable, from the view point
of merit and capacity. Through long
and at times intimate acquaintance
with him, The Herald endorses the
choice on those grounds unreservedly-
it could not be improved upon. He
possesses the general intelligence, the
especial aptitude, the untiring energy
and the personal ambition, essential in
such position. Thus equipped, we
will be disappointed indeed, if the best
possible use and display is not secured
out of the States exposition appropria-
ton.
We feel sure that Mr.. Henry will at
once enter upon the performance of
the labors of Exposition Commissioner,
in manner that will give life to the
Office, and popular confidence that the
State will have an exhibit at st. Louis
that no citizen need be ashamed of. He
is an untiring and an indomitable
worker-a little high headed on occa-
sions, perhaps, but no drone and thor
oughly practical in affairs. In fact
this Office is going to be treated by
the Clarion Ledger editor as business
proposition, and an opportunity be-
sides of winning lasting credit and
reputation for both the State and the
Commissioner. Personally, he has our
heartiest congratulations Vicksburg

Business Without Advertising
is Slow.

is SLOW.
The Adviser, with much truth, main
tains that no man who expects to sue
coed in business can do without ad-
vertising; no matter how large or small
his business may be, how little or we'll
known he is, advertising is the magic
key that unlocks the door of the gate
which is closed fast between the man
in business and the public. Of course,
if man is satisfied with few things,
if he has no aspirations towards big
things, he does not need to advertiser
but just so surely as the sun rises and
sets, just so surely will the non -adver-
tiser go down to oblivion and disaster.
1t is safe to say that there is not
today prominent or prosperous con-
Germ that does not owe it's prominence
and prosperity to publicity-to adver-
Using. Who would know any of the
great retail stores of the powerful pro-
prietary medicine houses if it was not
for the power of the press? Indeed, it
is the truth that no man can hope to
succeed without advertising. 1t is as
necessary as the air he breathes, or
the water he drinks.
1t is remarkable fact, but true, that
no one who has given it fair test says
advertising does not pay" on the
contrary, the papers and magazines
contain more advertising at the pres
ent time than ever before. OF course,
poor advertising never paid and never
will pay, for the reason that it can't be
made to pay; but good advertising is
profitable, as has been proven in thou
sands of instances.-Ndtiondl Aduer-
