NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
 with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in everything that goes on in the world is we'll known, but few are aware of the trouble he takes to keep in touch with current affairs. According to Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads at least three papers every day, chang ing the list several times a week in order to become fully acquainted with the ideas of all political parties in the state. But this by no means exhausts his appetite for information. Every day the ministry of foreign affairs, as we'll as that of the interior, has to pro- vide newspaper cuttings, properly named and dated, and pasted on slips ready for the emperor's perusal. These he carefully reads, making mar ginal notes as he goes along, and they are then scrupulously classified and put aside ready for immediate refer ence. Often, too, the emperor asks for cuttings relating to the particular technical subjects in which for the time he is specially interested.

SNAKES sWAYED BY TUNES.
"Wearing of the Green" Charms One,
 "Boyne Water" Another.

There are some residents of the Soho section of Belleville, N J., who are said to believe this story, which is be- ing told there, says the New York World.
 Mrs. F. P Scully was hanging clothes on the line in her yard when she happened to whistle few bars of her favorite air, "The Wearing of the Green" To her amazement a whip snake glided from the woodpile near by, halted and seemed fascinated by the music. When Mrs Scully ceased whistling the snake vanished in the woodpile.
 On her husbands return from the copper works, where he is employed, Mrs. Scully told him how unwittingly she had played snake charmer.
 There are others" laughed Scully, and he went to the yard and whistled "The Wearing of the Green" In few moments the snake appeared and seemed greatly to enjoy Scully's wind music. Since then all the Scullys, young and old, have been whistling to the snake, which has become quite tame.
 Recently James Ryan, a native of Ulster, moved near the banks of the Morris canal and next door to the Scullys. Ryan was cutting grass in his yard Saturday when he chanced to whistle "Boyne- Water" He had heard of Scully's snake and so was not surprised when whipsnake appeared
 You're a nationalist reptile, but I'll make you dance to my music" ex- claimed Ryan.
 Hearing the tune the angry Scully strode from his house and loudly whis- tied The Wearing of the Green"
 Out from the wood wriggled a whip snake as much like the other as are two blackthorns of the same growth. The snakes attacked each other fierce ly.
 Scully and Ryan were about to pitch into each other when their wives in- teryened. The snakes doubtless would have fought to the death, but Scully grabbed ParnelPs tail and Ryan seized William of Oranges tail and they tore the snakes apart. One made for the woodpile, the other crawled under a small she'd

Sturgeon in British Columbia.

For several years previous to 1901 the sturgeon fishery in the Fraser riv. CT was an important industry. One mil lion pounds of fresh sturgeon packed in ice was shipped east annually. A very considerable amount of sturgeon roe was shipped each year to Europe to be manufactured into caviare The steurgeon then almost entirely disap- peared from the river, and only few barely enough to supply the local demand-were taken. The disappear ance of this fish has been attributed to everlasting. During the last half of July the sturgeon have appeared in large numbers Nearly all are small and would easily pass through the sturgeon nets, but very large num- Der have become entangled in the salmon gill nets. These are supposed to be returned to the water in all cases where they have not been killed
 Under the law and the regulations no sturgeon under four feet in length may be sold in markets here, nor ship ped abroad The fishermen have, therefore, no temptation to fail to return to the water all fish under this length which they have not been obliged to kill to get them out of their nets. One night recently a stur- geon eleven feet long, weighing more than 800 pounds, was taken in salmon net

Walked Into the River,

Ross II. Cowperthwaite, one of the
oldest and best known business men Of
Trenton, was found dead Tuesday morn
ing along the bank of the Delaware River
in the southern part of the city, after hav.
ing been missed since early the previous
evening, when he failed to return home
from his Office. He had evidently been
drowned some time during the night,
probably at 1928 o'clock. at which time his
watch had stopped. There was no mark
of violence on bis body and his valuables
had not been disturbed. He had apparent
Iy walked or fallen into the water and his
body afterward washed ashore.
Mr.. Cowperthxaite had been in failing
health for several years and of late bis
sAind appeared to be weakening. 1t is
,thought that he lost his way that night
and wandered into the river in the dark
ness.
A pathetic part of the old mans life
swas that few years ago two of his chill
.dren were drowned together and little
later his wife died suddenly. These
things preyed on his mind. but be con-
tinued business until Monday, at which
time he appeared to be no worse than!
usual In his mental or physical condi-..
ton. His remains were Inferred ut

SHALL JERSEY HALT7

Is it to be a case of arrested devel-
opment?
Within the last three years New Jer-
sey has made more progress than any
other state in many material respects.
And that progress has been due In
large measure to wise legislation and
public enterprise.
And no state is as fortunately situat-
ed as New Jersey is to secure all the
great benefits that go to enrich a state.
Besides the development Of the
states natural resources, which de-
ponds to a great extent upon state poll
cy, we are blessed with magnificent op-
portunities on our northern and south
ern borders-at the Hudson and the
Delaware The problem is transporta-
ton.
The broad Hudson has been tunneled
to connect Manhattan with the New
Jersey mainland, and in time that river
win be bridged. Through those tun-
nels and over the bridge will pour
millions of wealth into New Jersey
From the great city of Philadelphia
south Jersey will be enriched In the
same way.
On the seacoast there is not q single
harbor from Sandy Hook light to Del
aware bay The state has adopted
policy of seacoast development, and
the first harbor is soon to be opened
at Cape May.
A state forestry system has been be-
gun, and forest preserves will soon
dot the state. The inland lakes are to
be acquired and converted into public
parks. The watersheds are to be pro-
tected by the state. The rivers are to
be cleansed of their impurities. There
will be proper regulations for the con-
servation of the valuable salt water
fisheries of the state. The states
riparian domain is to be preserved for
the public schools and great fund ac-
cumulated to help relieve the people
Of their school taxes.
All this is development, a develop
ment begun under a Republican gov
eminent and now in progress under a
Republican government. Shall this de-
velopment be arrested? Shall a po-
litical party hungry for spoil and hav-
ing no policy but partisanship come
into possession of the government to
disregard the aims and purposes of a
Republican government these fruitful
years and restore the kind of govern
ment that cursed the state in the old
years of Democratic rule?

complacently at home on election day

his duty as voter and stays away
from the polls is almost as culpable as

Down IN DELAWARE the excise question
Is occupying the attention of the people
and the voters today will say whether the
state shall go dry or whether liquor shall
be sold. If all reports are to be believed
the state of Delaware will go dry" after
today, with the possible exception of the
city of Wilmington, but even there the
sentiment against the sale of liquor is
very pronounced. This condition of af-
fairs is what is going to strike every state
in the Union before many years. The
liquor dealers seem to have an idea that
they are the only people on earth who are
entitled to consideration. The idea that
liquor must be sold in town to make it
prosperous has long since been exploded,
and If the question ever comes to vote in
Burlington county eight out of every ten
licensed places will be closed. The
trouble with many liquor sellers is that
they do not pay proper regard to the law
and in addition to this oversight they
want laws made or repealed that will give
them greater latitude. We make the
assertion without fear of contradiction
that it will take little effort to secure
evidence Of the violation Of present laws.
Liquor is sold to men known to be habitual
drunkards. to men visibly under the in.
hdence of liquor. to minors whose age ID
plainly discernible and the statutes are
winked at in many ways that could easily
be named. In one case recently reported
a hotel keeper refused or failed to serve
meals although notified in advance that
they would be needed. Sentiment on the
liquor question is rapidly fading away
and If any change does come the liquor
dealers will have themselves only to thank
or blame for it.

AN important decision is reported In tax
matters and if 1t is stated correctly it puts
other decisions In peculiar position. The
case Is that of signboards which are seen
all over the country. During the term Of
Governor Murphy he called attention to
the signboards which he considered dis
fgurement of the landscape" In MANY
localities. The Governor further said
4 have thought that perhaps the solution
might be thorough taxation-made SO
high as to be effective" Acting ON this
suggestion assessors in the northern part
OF the state put levy on the property in
swo ways. In one instance the land on
which the boards were erected was as
sessed at greatly increased rate, based on
the rental received from the owners of the
signs. An appeal from this assessment
was not sustained and the real estate still
stands at high figure. In another case
the assessor put the tax directly upon the
owners of the boards and this has been de-
cided as correct. just how the assessment
mas been placed is not known and assessors
In other localities would like to be en-
lightened on the point for 1t includes other
points. For instance In Burlington county
there were appeals from the assessments on
two hotels and the state board decided that
it did not make any difference what the
properties could be sold for, the only
proper way to get at the value was to
take the price per foot of the land they
stood upon and then fix the value of
the buildings. Now, If this rule is to be
followed, 1t is hard to discover how few
boards worth little money can be assessed
at such figure as to virtually drive them
out OF business 1t would appear as If the
Erice per foot for the land and the price
of dhe board standing on 1t ought to hold
in the upper part of the state as well as in
the lower counties. If the business of a
hotel cannot be taken into consideration
how can the revenue from few old boards
be so valuable7
