New JERSEY contained, at the time of
the last Federal census, negro population
of SO, 844. She was the twentieth State in
point of number of negro population.
Only the four large Northern States of
New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio and ILL
nois, with their much larger total popula-
lions, contained greater number of the
race. There are 5000 more negroes in
New Jersey than in Delaware and $4,000
more than in West Virginia, both COM
per cent of negro population In New Jer-
sey was 37 In 1900, which was higher
than the percentage in Pennsylvania,
New York and all the other Northern and
Western States with the exception of Ok
lahoma. In 1890 the per cent of negro
population in New Jersey was 3.S per
cent, showing an increase in ten years of
of GA per cent. In the census half decade
since 1900 the increase In the negro popu-
lation has kept pace with the increase of
the previous decade. With the largest
proportion of negro population of any
Northern and Western State, with a sin
gle unimportant exception. New Jersey
has problem on her hands to which little
enough attention has been given. The
State is peculiarly inviting to the South
ern blacks. The seacoast resorts offer op-
portunities for employment. Thousands
of negroes who were formerly migrating
have settled down In communities and
rear children, and too many drift into the
slums of New Jersey cities and add to the
vice and crime. 1t is this element of the
race that needs looking to.-NssOark I'D

AN EMPERoR,s TASTE.
II Was the Origin of a Common Say
ing I'm Austria.

II Was the Origin of n Common Say
ing I'm Austria.
An anecdote which was current Of
Ferdinand l. of Austria at one time
greatly delighted his subjects and gave
rise to a common saying. One sum
mer day he was hunting In the Syrian
mountains and was overtaken by q
violent thunderstorm. He sought ref
age In a farmhouse whose occupants
were just then at dinner, and his fan
cy was caught by some smoking dump
lings made of coarse -four. He tasted
them, liked them and asked for more,
and when he got to Vienna. to the hor-
ror of the royal cooks, he ordered the
same dumplings to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that
such coarse dish should figure on
the menu, and even his physicians re-
monstrated against the use Of such
food.
The emperor had always been the
most plant of men, but he now show
ed that he had a will Of his own and
persisted In gratifying his new fancy.
Finally the physicians pretended that
1t was dangerous to his health to be
living on dumplings and insisted on his
giving them up. The hitherto docile
sovereign stamped his foot and de-
clared that he would never sign anoth-
err official document If his diet were
denied him.
Emperor l am" he shouted, land
dumplings / will have"
To prevent a stoppage of the govern
ment machinery opposition was with
drawn, and his majesty chung tena.
ciously to his dumplings. Then the i'm
perial phrase became proverbial, and
thereafter when any one insisted OF
gratifying a silly within some one was
sure to say:

MOUNT HOLLY is discussing the light
question with the view of getting better
service and better prices. Both are de-
sirable, but the former is absolutely ne.
cessary, fact potent to all who have been
compelled to put up with the miserable
articles sold to US as electricity and gas
The meeting on Thursday evening was
one of representative citizens and there is
no mistaking the sentiment that the tax
payers are tired of being at the mercy of
the corporation that now has the contract
for lighting our streets. Why accurate
count and report of the lights failing to
work and consequent reduction in bills
have not been the rule we cannot tell, but
such seems to be the case. Lights have
been out several nights in succession, and
reports to the proper persons seem to have
been calmly ignored until they got ready
to attend to the matter. One citizen re
marked at the meeting that ''he did not
think ii right to use club to get the
Public Service Corporation to grant priv.
ileges." That may be correct, but it must
be remembered that the corporation is
using club in the shape of high prices
for one year to compel us to sign five years
contract. And right here it will do no
harm to consider this part of the case. To
take the light on one year contract
means larger outlay of money and we
are told it will be greatly increased by the
fact that new lamps are to be added To
this there Is serious objection. New lamps
should not be put in this year. Renew
for one year the contract now in existence
with the proviso that we are to get what
we are paying for, do not add more lamps
on the same miserable basis we have been

RELATING TO IRON.

Discovery of the Metal, According to
Various Authorities.
The Bible speaks of Tubal Cain as
the discoverer of iron and the father
Of smiths. The Egyptians imputed u
Hephaestus the same honor, while PHI
ny mentions it having been discovered
by Dactyles on Mount Ida after the
forests ON the mountain side had been
destroyed by lightning. This was about
1,432 years B. G. Jeremiah and Eze-
kiel both mention iron in their Scrip
tural writings. the latter specially men,
tioning two qualities Of the metal and
calling one bright iron. which was prob
ably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace, and
Job speaks Of 1t as being taken out Of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron In making sickles,
knives and such things Sparta first
used iron for money. Britain also used
1t as a medium of barter and exchange
prior to the conquest by the Romans.
The Britons before the time Of Christ
used to export iron to Gaul, and after
the Roman conquest the conquerors es-
tablished extensive smelling works,
which existed at least as late as the
Saxon conQuest.-St. James Gazette.

THE BANANA PLANT.
Each Tree Produces Only One Bunc
of the Fruit.

Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.
The banana plant is not properly a
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t is
large, green, fieshy plant, with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad 1t grows to a
height of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety Of
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch of fruit only,
which Is really the terminal bud OF the
plant, just like an ear of wheat or
barley. 1t has no branches, and when
the fruit 10 ready, which il twelve or
fifteen months from the date Of plant
ing, the tree is curt down and done
with.
But while it Ia growing up and ma
turing Its fruit it Is at the same time
sending up from It's roots other young
plants or suckers - perhaps eight or
nine Of them. Each Of these will pro
duce its own bunch In turn, some of
them In q couple Of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be
regular succession Of fruit. Many Of
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick on the ground.
And there is this peculiarly about
the banana: You can plant 1t at any
season, and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once banana field
has been planted out, all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep 1t clear Of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers

On ANOTHER page Is printed a synopsis
of the law regulating executions of muir
derers. The language of the statute is
very plain and there cannot be any excuse
for disregarding it in any particular. The
provisions may be worked" so that the
very limit be reached but there is no pos
sibility of exceeding them. For instance
the sheriff is entitled to have not more
than three men whose skill may be neces-
sary to aid In the hanging. Evidently
this means three men for one hanging,
but If double that number were called in
the law might be construed as con-
senting and the Skill" of the men
would not be questioned. Then there is
provision that certain newspaper repre-
sentatives be admitted. Possibly a sec
ond set, different men. might be admitted
under the idea that the execution is a
double one, and SO on where there are
provisions Of like character But one
point is absolutely clear and that is that
the limit for one execution is thirty eight
people and consequentlyiseventy six are all
that can legally view the hanging to take
place next week. Notice the word view"
for the law holds in contempt of court any
sheriff, under sheriff or deputy-sheriff
who permits any one to witness the
hanging beyond those specifically
mentioned in the statute. To secure
the faithful adherence to this pro-
vision the jury appointed by the court
must take an oath to perform certain du-
ties one of which is to give the name of
every person present at the execution.
Whether this has ever been done we can
not say but even If it has not there is no
reason why there should not be change
right here The county is now under
new administration in the sheriff's office
and at the very outset we are met with
condition of affairs never before known
a double hanging within four months of
the qualifying of the new officer. 1t is to
be hoped he will not be called upon to
perform any more such unpleasant duties
during his incumbency, but he should see
that this. his first, is conducted strictly
according to the law and in such manner
as to cause no criticism or reflection upon |
his administration of justice.

..Robbins Peter to PAY p.ul.,

This saying had its origin in the
rivalry between st. Peters cathedral,
now Westminster abbey, and st.
Pauls, when, in 1850, an appropria-
ton was made from St. Peters to
make good a deficiency in the accounts
Of st. Paul's. Much opposition was
shown to this, and it was for the time
a popular cutlery, why rob Peter to
pay Paul?" The saying was revived
as proverb upon the death Of Will
liam Pitt, earl Of Chatham, in ITS. The
city Of London argued that so Illus
trious statesman should be buried at
st. Paups, while parliament held that
the remains of SO great leader should
be placed with the dust of kings and
that to bury him away from the Abbey
Of Westminster would be again a rob-
bing Of Peter to pay Paul.
