served--Many Prominent
Men Are Present

81 have enjoyed myself in Los Angeles,
az nowhere else in my life,' said Am
bassador Senior Don Enrique Creel, in re-
Spouse to the address of welcome ex-
tended to him by Hon. James McLachlan,
at banquet given in honor of the Mexi-
can ambassador by e. l.. Doheny at the
Hotel Alexandria last night.
The banquet room of the Alexandra
was transformed into veritable fairy
land under the skillful management of
Joseph Reichl assistant manager OF the
big hostelry, in honor of the most gor-
geous entertainment in the history or
Los Angeles.
Upon lattice there apparently grew in
great profusion a species of white Gle
mats, Heavens Delight, and from the
ceiling were suspended a great variety or
ferns. And on the table, almost indes-
crbably beautiful, was a great electric
fountain, spouting forth its streams of
varied hues in a miniature lake with
islands and castles in the center.
Well might the management of the
famous Alexandria, and In fact all of Los
Angeles, be proud of the magnificent dec
orations as well as the matchless COLA
ton which could not be duplicated In
this country outside of New York. And
even there it is doubtful if the floral ef-
feet could be reproduced.
The menu, which is here recorded, was
printed in gold on the finest of vellum,
and, as are all menus of exceptional merit,
written in French During the courses,
there were exhibited three magnificent
pieces Mountee," symbolical of the two
countries represented at the banquet
table, to hint at the courses to follow.
The last, which represented Mexican
fountain, was beautiful miniature cleo
trio fountain in sugar, which, when illu-
minated by incandescent lamps hidden
amnog it's sacchaarinous interior, had a
marvellous effect.
The wines were all of special vintage,
both the Kirchenstuck and the cham
payne being of exceptional bouquet and
flavor.

John A. Church, the dahlia specialist
whose development of that flower has
been wonder to many florists, has just
issued his catalog for 1907, and in it are
included several hundred varieties of this
species. When his farm out on the Jack
sonville pike is in full bloom, it is one of
the sights of the town, and is visited
daily by many persons.
Mr.. Church started in small way a
few years ago, and by honest methods
and fair dealing has built up a large
trade. Last year he gave his first annual
dahlia show in Masonic Hall, Burlington,
that made those who saw it open their
eyes. but he says that those who attend
his display this year will forget all about
last years exhibit, when they see the ad-
vancement that has been made A postal
card addressed to Mr.. Church, Burlington,
will bring YOU a catalogue

the untiring efforts of some of the retiring

IN the face of the fact that the present
school facilities are VIGOROUSLY inadequate

building of new school house would be.

the conditions existing, the taxpayers were

own interests, and thus delaying an edu-

With his hand clutched on the wad of
greenbacks, he started. Opposite the
Green property two men barred his way
and demanded his money. AS Flynn was
reluctant in handing over the cash the

blow was not well directed and Flynn's
shoulder was only slightly bruised and he
retained his footing. The highwayman
again swung the club, but Flynns agility
again saved him. Flynn tried to retreat,
but was tripped by one of the robbers.
The other jumped on him and started to
rifle his pockets. Flynn, shouting Justify
for help, managed to arise and hold off
the robbers. Another effort was made to
down him by hurting the club at his feet,
but he lodged in time to escape serious
injuries. Then the would be highway

Nor MUCH interest was shown by the
townships in which appeals were made to
the State Board of Taxation against as
sessments of property. But one township
was represented by counsel and nothing
was presented to show that the assess
ments were proper and should stand.
There were some questions of importance
and the result made difference to the
townships, but they were, apparently,
willing to let the matter go by default.
Perhaps there may have been some mis-
understanding on the subject, some con-
fusion in dates or some tangle in the serv-
ing of papers whereby the township did
not get proper notice, but the thing that
is certain is that there was no objection
entered to any of the appeals and some
of the townships have lost not only their
township tax, but have paid to the coun-
ty full quota of taxation. There is an
idea in one or two places that it is the
duty of the County Board to defend all
actions of appeals. This is erroneous
While the County Board has an interest
in the matter so far as desiring to have its
rulings sustained where there seems to be
sgood reason for such course, it does not
feel called upon to take care of every in
dividual case. In fact the County Board
has no more latitude before the State body
than an individual and the members of the
former appear before the latter merely as
interested spectators.

Beverly.

Mitchell B. Perkins. Jr., son of former
State Senator Mitchell B. Perkins, and a
cadet at the Bordentown Military Aca-
denny, had a narrow escape from being
killed by runaway horse Thursday morn
ing. He was overseeing some work on
his fathers farm near Beverly, standing
in wagon, when the horse became
frightened. Perkins was lurched forward
and caught his foot in one of the shafts
and with the animal running at terrific
speed his head was dragging along the
ground. Across the soft fields the horse
ran with the seemingly doomed man
humping against the plowed earth. Then
the horse struck the pike and started on a
gallop towards Delanco. On the hard
bed of the road young Perkins head,
already cut and bleeding, was receiving
worse treatment at every leap of the
horse Death seemed inevitable, when
from his front door leaped George Sickles
across the animals path, grabbed the
reins and threw the horse on its launches.
Perkins was extricated from his perilous
position, in a semi conscious condition.

LinooIn's Much Quoted Words,

Perhaps the most famous address
ever made by President Lincoln is the
one that he delivered at the dedication
Of the soldiers monument on the battle
field of Gettysburg, and the words
most quoted from it are 1.-The govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, This phrase was no
doubt an unconscious quotation, for
the same words were used by Theodore
Parker in an address to the Anti
Slavery society May 10, 1854 Nor was
the phrase original with Parker. Dan
lei Webster in 1880 used the words
''the peoples government, made for the
people, made by the people and an
swerable to the people" And even be-
fore Webster Chief Justice Marshall
had expressed the same idea in similar
phraseology.

GOVERNOR Stokes has settled the cues
lion OF the appointment of Judge and
PROSECUTOR in Ocean county, by giving
the former Office to Majah L Berry and
reappointing Theodore J. r. Brown to
the latter position. Mr.. Brown was
doomed by his many friends for the
position of Judge. There was no obiec-
ton to him on any ground, save that he
has been the best Prosecuting Attorney
Ocean county has had for years and there
was danger in experimenting with new
man. Brown has been fearless, unrelent-
ing and acted without fear or favor He
has broken up many bad practices and
closed many dangerous places, acting so
vigorously and effectively as to gain him
the ill-will of the law breaking classes. a
state of affairs to be welcomed rather than
to be deprecated by faithful official.
While there are many who would have
been delighted to have seen the young
Prosecutor promoted the feeling prevails
that he still has wide field for his talents
in the Office to which he has been returned
