Dante Ro.ssttl,s Praetleal joker.

Dante Rossetti's Practical Joker.
One day Howell picked up treasure
in the form of a piece of old blue
Nankin. He invited party of friends
to come and admire it, and Rossetti
surreptitiously carried it home with
him and invited the same party to come
and view an equally fine piece of china
in his own possession. But Howell
had his revenge Guessing what had
happened, he found bis way to Resset-
It's hiding place. took away the china
and put another dish In its place.
When the party assembled Rossetti
was challenged to produce the china.
He returned to the dining room with
the package and began to carefully re-
move the wrappings. AS the dish be-
came uncovered a curious puzzled ex-
preston came over his face, and when
it was entirely exposed to view he stood
still in blank astonishment. For a few
moments he was silent; then his pent
up feelings burst out in wild cry:
"Confound it! See what the spirits
lave done"
Every one rose to leok at the dish. A
dish it was certainly, but what dish!
Instead of the beautiful piece of Nam
kin that was expected there was only
an old delft thing, cracked, chipped
and discolored through the numerous
bakings it had undergone.

BOUTON'S STATEMENT,
Clerk Of the Eleotive S. g. w.
Board Who Is Still In Office
Defines His Position.

Clerk George Bouton, who as clerk of
the Democratic Street and Water Board,.
on the advice Of private counsel, handed
over the records of the department to
Mayor Fagan's appointive Board and is
still acting as clerk, this morning gave
out the following statement
''The developments of the past week
have bred criticism, and as from well
defined sources some of this has been
directed against the stand I have taken
in pursuance of legal advice. it may
not be amiss to define my position for
the future.
Ordinarily, no attention would be
paid on my part to any derogatory re-
marks of those who have served the
party much less time and less strenu-'
ously, with perhaps greater reward than
l. but to avoid any misunderstanding
due to the present politica excitement,
| will merely add that in my conduct
as to further orders Of the court I will
be governed by the same advice, which
course will, / trust, prove satisfactory
to every good citizen and to my friends.
In the event of a decision fayoring
the Democratic party as to stay OF
otherwise, l will voluntarily retire to
enjoy what / at least consider well
earned rest, in favor of any successor
that the party may see fit to appoint.
My relations with Mr.. Davis have al
ways been pleasant, although influences
which have recently prevailed have been
sometimes very irksome. With his lead
ership the party was for many years
successful and l believe that with re-
turn to old methods of counsel it can be
so again"

This is the letter from Mayor Pagan
Governor Murphy which has thrown
the Republican party into Nconvulsions.
1t was. given out at Trenton yesterday:
My Dear Sir--As Mayor of Jersey
City and also as a member of the Repub-

this public communication, in the hope
of averting possible calamity to Jersey
City aud an almpst certain disaster TO
the Republican party Of New Jersey.
The present session of the Legislature is
drawing to close. Its record on the
whole. is bad, and in some respects dis
graceful. Its control by corporate inter
ests, in the Assembly. at least. has been
absolute.
For this the Republican party is re-
Hponsible. The bills for equal taxation
were demanded by a practically unanim-
: ous people. All Notth Jersey is angry
