CONFIDENCE BEING RESTORED

New York, Dec. 12.-The financial
situation is Frightening very much,
and reports received from all over
the country indicates loosening OF
the stringeney at ever point Grad
ually those factories and mills that
were compelled to close down owing
to the trouble OF getting cash to pay
their employers, are reopening, and
this IS noted in ever section. Tn
people are fast regaining their lost
confidence in the banks, and bust
ness prospects have taken on a much
brighter hue than at the close of last
week
Banks in the larger cities are re
moving the lid, and this is all owing
to the fact that their depositors are
checking out only enough to trans
act and carry on their business, and
are no longer Withdrawing their mo
ney to hoard it. This allows the
banks to operate upon a more liberal
policy and puts more money in cir
culation every day
The country banks in small towns
are buying commercial paper on this
city.
Business in Chicago and St. Louis
will soon be moving normally. The
cities have improved wonderful in the
past few days. Chicago banks went
sn a cas- h, basis very recently on a
modified plan ard this will soon be
broadened in its scope as times grow
better. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company has authorized 4
quarterly dividend OF l IA per cent
and the net revenues of the company
were 100000 in spite of the long
strike it had on its hands recently
There is no doubt about the inpro-
raent OF business and that confidence
is being restored In the opinion oil
the most conservative financiers, the
country will recover from the effects
Of the panic in a few weeks, or in a
months time at least Conditions
then will be about the same as before
the panic, and with laws enacted by
Congress for the protection of the
country against future panics, con
frdence will be restored for good anC
the good times coming will last fo1
many long year. 1t is the genera
belief expressed here that after New
Years banks all over the countr,
will begin TO call in the clearing
house certificates and again resum,
specific payment.
Information received from tn,
south is that the small banks are re
ceiving all the money needed Il
move cotton, and that more will b,
forthcoming rapidly after the holi
days. This section has withsrood til,

succeeded in attracting attention, and
were taken aboard. The captain
knew both Pruitt and Cheney, and

NEW ONE TO TILLlE.
Scandinavian Cook Had Her Own
Troubles With the Eggplant.

Mrs. Lane, engaged with her daily
shopping, could not resist purchasing
the beautiful purple eggplant that
showed up so alluringly against back
ground of snowy cauliflower, so she
told the grocer to send it up. Mrs. Lane
had other things than housekeeping
on her mind that day. Besides, Tillie,
the Scandinavian cook, was rapidly be-
coming so competent that her young
mistress was growing little lax. By
the time Mrs. Lane reached home the
eggplant had vanished from her mind.
The following morning the eggplant,
its purple exterior polished to mirror
like luster, appeared whole and I'M

stricted that it was impossible to pro-
vide her with advance instructions.
Yes, cut the rind of this way and
let the pieces soak all the morning"
There was company for luncheon
that noon. All went well until Mrs.
Lane rang for Title, and requested
her to bring the dessert.
A moment later Tillie reappeared,
placed glass dish containing num-
Der of odd greenish white disks on the
table and disappeared.
Why" exclaimed surprised Mrs.
Lane, 'it's that eggplant again! She
has fished the slices out of the brine
and served them raw. like cucum-
bers."
After luncheon Mrs. Lane returned
the egg plant to the kitchen.

THREE GOOD IDEAS
ONE 70 IMPROVEMENT ON EVER
POPULAR FUDGE.
Addition Of Marshmaiiows Makes the
CONNECTION DeIicious-odd Fur
nishinq for Den-oysters In
Chatting Dish.


Fudge is now as popular as when
first introduced several years ago, re
placing the favorite chocolate cara
mels. The expert fudgemaker seldom
thinks of measuring her materials, but
just guesses at the quantity of sugar,
milk, chocolate and butter necessary.
1t is Just before the fudge is done
that the additions which give it nov
city go in. Nuts are always good.
One variety or several kinds mixed
may be used. Then there is crystal
lied ginger cut In small pieces. An
other mixture is of marshmallows.
For this the following recipe may be
used:
One-fourth cake of unsweetened
chocolate, two cups of granulated
sugar, one cup of milk, one teaspoon
nj of butter Boil for five minutes,
then take from the fire and pour in
a heaping saucerful Of marshmallows
torn in small bits. Beat until the
mixture begins to stiffen, then pour
quickly into huttered tins to cool
Another way is to sprinkle the shred
ded marshmallow on the bottom of
the pan, and pour the hot fudge over
! 1t. This is convenient when both the
marshmallow, nut, and the plain varie-
ties are to be made from the same
boiling.
A den seen recently was furnished
In black oak and the walls were done
In deep red burlap. The trim, includ-
ing a wooden cornice, was also black.
The ceiling was deep cream, or per-
haps more on the bun. The couch
was upholstered in linen taffeta to
! match the walls. There were many
pillows in plain red and few in buff.
A plate rail of oak for china and
stems was carried around the room,
On the black oak reading table was
an oriental scarf, harmonizing with
the walls and the pillows. Upon this
rested a wrought-iron lamp with a
deep red bowl, and shade of gold-wire
cloth. The mantel was ornamented
with several old brass candlesticks.

as q scrap basket.
For luncheon or Sunday night tea
oysters may be prepared in the

tablespoonful Of minced celery. Put
1t in your blazer with tablespoonful
of butter, teaspoonful Of lemon
Juice, a little salt, and paprika. When
the mixture is thoroughly hot, put In
as many oysters as you need and
cook them until they are plump. Then
add cupful Of cream, and when ii
has thoroughly heated. serve on hot

above Point Pleasant they went

Ir looks as if the next Legislatnre

II looks as if the next Legislature
might be induced to pass law closing
the polls at sunset. A statute to this
effect, passed by Republican Legis-
lature, was later repealed by the Dem
Ocrats. This was about twenty years
ago The Trenton Times has called
attention to passage in message Of
Governor Murphy's, in 1905, in which
he advocates sunset law. He calls
attention to the fact thai Election
Day is a holiday, and that there is no
reason, therefore, why the vote
should not be all in by that time OF
day. The Importance of such an
amendment is seen when it is realized
that much Of the corruption at the
ballot box takes place after dark in
the big cities.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
To THE EDITOR OF The CHRONICLE;

To THE EDITOR OF The CHRONICLE:
SIR
Because of suddenly found need, to
have the advantage of Octobers ex-
pected good weather, the permission
of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen
was asked to begin work at once on an
addition to a frame outbuilding just
within the fire limits; an addition so
trifling it was transparency evident
that it could not appreciably increase
the fire hazard.
While ready to give permission fer
the addition, immediate action had to
be refused under the imperative pro-
vision of the Ordinance of April Sth,
1904. that permission shall not be
granted until the next regular meet
ing' Ga month later. 10 protect him
SELF and others, i'm future similarly eX-
ceptional cases, the owner asked that
the ordinance be amended by adding
to the clause above the words "unleSs
there is unanimous consent for an i'm
mediate VOTE" The committee CON
cerned reported adversely, on the
ground that objections not known TO
the Board might be known to citizens
who If there were an interval of
month could present them to the
Board. Nine times out of ten this
months delay might indeed be the
lesser evil, yet in the tenth it might
be greater evil" and an injustice;
as it has been in the present instance.
For the bad weather dreaded has come,
and there has already been loss, which
If November is stormy may become
considerable.
The writer, who tries to do his duty
as citizen, feels that he has been
wronged-not by the present officials,
only by the unamended lawn having
been put to expense and annoyance,
useleSSly because there is no apparent
counterbalancing good to the town;
and Others similarly situated would
doubtless feel the same. The ordin-
ance is Sorely needed law that should
be warmly supported by all citizens, SC
any defects that might turn support
erS of IL into opponents plainly ought
to be amended. The more reasonable
and considerable laws are the more eff
fective they will be. Finally, the
danger named by the Committee coulC
be guarded against by the further pro
vision that to receive unanimous con
sent the request, supported by favor
able report from our Fire Chief, mus
be in u1e hands of the Fire Commit
tee, and be mentioned in one or more
of our local newspapers, in advance O
the regular meeting of the Board a
which it is presented. For the sake 0
our town, therefor, it is hoped thai
the Committee on Ordinances will re
consider it's decision and procure tn
addition of an amendment to the On
dinance of April Sth, 1904.

LEGISLATIVE ORGANIZATION

No sooner was one Legislature ad-
journed than new one was elected :
and now we are to have several weeks
of agitation and discussion over the
organization of the Senate and House
Of 1908. 1t was announced in Newark
that the Essex delegation will support
William p Martin for the Speaker
ship. At about the same time boom
for DR.. John d. Prince, of Passaic
County, was started in Paterson.
Both Martin and Prince were men,
bers of the House in 1906, but were de-
feated for reelection last year. Both
are highly qualified for the place.
For the Senate Presidency, HillerY,
OF Morris, ought to be an easy winner.
For two years he has served as leader,
and when he was side-tracked for
the Presidency at the last session, It
is said that assurances we're given
him that the honor would fall to him
next year, if he was reelected. and
of his reelection there was no doubt
AS there will be but four new men in
the next Senate, his associates will be
able to make good their promise, if
one was made.
For the Senate leadership, Rob
bins, Of Burlington, seems to be a
likely candidate. Most of the old Sen
ators have already had all of the
honors, and the choice will probably
be between Robbins and Avis, Of Glou-
cester. While the caucuses are fully
two months off, the preliminaries will
probably begin, as is usual, next Tues
day, when the new legislators will
visit Trenton to look over the ground
and get acquainted. Trenton Times.

names are nominated for leader
