floral Chine ribbons which are now so
popular should be chosen for the
marker itself. patterned perhaps with
pink roses and green leaves on
cream ground. The lower end should
be bordered with a silk fringe either
in pink or green to match the flowers
and the foliage. while the top should
be finished with a ribbon bow to cor
respond with the color Of the fringe.
The ribbon might be stiffened at the
back with a lining formed of plain
white ribbon, measuring the same
width exactly; but this is not really

SECRET WAS OUT
Newark Couple, Married at

PARENTS GUESS TRUTH
AND GIVE THEIR BLESSING
Ceremony Performed on Sudden

The story of the secret marriage of
Miss Edith Miller. IS years old. of At
Pointer street to Joseph Foster, jr., q
years old, of 151h Sherman avenue,
has been brought to light in an odd
way. The couple We're married at
Ocean Grove, where they have been
summering. by the Rev Percy Rerin-
chief. rector of st. Paurs Church there,
on August 15. They had agreed to
keep the marriage secret.
When the couple arrived home Sun
day. Miss Miller, now Mrs. Foster, was
invited to dine at the Foster home.
She had neglected to take off her ring,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Foster. when they
saw it, lost no time in extending the
parental blessing. 1t was not so great
a shock to the old folks as the newly
weds had expected. for they had no

Mr.. Foster is employed by the Public

They will make their home with the

that Joe was logged ont in his bathing

CITY TAX RATE
To Be REDUCED
FROM So To 81
This Despite the Loss of Sl5,-

QUESTION OF S85O,OOO
IN RAILROAD VALUATION
Decision at Trenton May Raise
the Expected $l.64
to $l.65.
CITY TAX RATE
Z IN LAST DECADE.

Despite the fact that the city will
lose some $15,oo0,0O0 in ratables on in
surance companies and bank stock. the
city tax rate may be $1.64. and at the
highest $1.65, reduction from the first
figure over 1907 of five points, the pres
ent rate being $1.69. The County Board
for the Equalization of.Taxes will meet
Thursday at the Court House in con-
junction with the city board and fix the
city and county rate.
On Wednesday President Carroll, of
the City Tax Board, and Commissioner
Lowry will go to Trenton to consult
with the State Board of Taxation on
the value placed on second-class rail-
road property in the city, which may
make a difference of $S50,oO0 in ratables
and raise the rate to $1.65.
The State board, under the provi-
sioEs of the Perkins act as interpreted
by the Court of Errors and Appeals
last year. fixes the valuation of the
second class railroad property.
This year the State board ed the
value of the second class railroad prop
erty In the city at $3.50, 1855; the city
board last year valued it at 81, 736,000
and the city commissioners want to
know how the State commissioners in
creased the valuation without counting
in some third-class railroad property.
The second-class railroad property is
tracks other than those of the main
lines. and third class property Is prop
erty belonging railroads that is not
roadbed of any kind. The third-class
property already has been assessed by
The local board. and they fear that the
State board has included some of this
property in the second class property
If this is the case the local hoard
will have TO remove the property taxed
from the list of the third class which
will make the total the same rs last
year, but il the $S50,0OO is fiat increase
il legitimate sccond-class property, then
the tax rate will be $1.64.
The city ratables last year amounted
TO 1896. 100000. and this year. if the $780,,
600 additional on the second class rail-
read property stands, the city ratables
will be $295. 1879, 916.
The city rate will be 1.096 and the
county rate will be $40, total of 81. Sc,
and two points can be taken off for
poll taxes in the city, making the rate
S1.64
But for the Buck act passed by the
recent Legislature, and the insurance
law, the city would this year have
enjoyed a tax rate of $1.50 flat. never
equaled
The Buck act cut off $3,000.0O0 in as
sessabe bank stock by its provisions,
and the insurance law cut off $4,000
900 by providing that insurance com
panies should have a reserve fund to
meet the preferred dividend policies
issued by the company, and that the
reserve fund be considered a liability,
which exempts it from taxation.
The total ratables in bank stock this
year amount to $3.507. T76, a deprecia-
tion of 81, 026, 426 from last year.

HORRORS! HE'S.

SPLASH! "WHAT! HAS

''Houdini,' and Harrison Chief
Didn't Care a Darn.

Houdini," who has made manacles
look like playthings on the stage, gave
O. big open-air and free exhibition to-
day by leaping from the jackson street
bridge into the Passaic River. Several
thousand persons who witnessed the
act did not wonder so much that he
freed himself from the heavy irons
which seemingly bound him-for he has
done that many times before-but how
a normal person could stay beneath the
surface of the Passaic river fifty-four
seconds, and come up alive was puz-
zle.
When the Third Precince police heard
that "Houdini' proposed to jump into
the Passaic the captain sent three cops
out.
Let him alone" cried the crowd; "he
can get out of those handcuffs all
right.
IT'S not the handouts" yelled back
the police arrivals; tits the river. If
he doesn't break his neck when he
bumps the top layer OF the river he'll
be sflothered-not drQwned-under it,
No amount of coaXing would bulge
the police. Did not Houdni have his
press agent there and did not the press
agent have numerous passes to the
Empire Theatre? Well, mostly. Did
Houdini want the Newark sleuths to
bulge? Not while Harrison was one
inch over the centre OF the bridge.
So Houdini went just beyond the
Harrison line on the bridge and Chief
of Police Rodgers, of Harrison, de-
clared
Hanged if | care, s'lons's he's got
no matches about him to set the river
on fire. If he wants to get all scratched
up and covered with bumps and
bruises Jumping into the Passaic river
all 1 got to say is he hasn't got as
much sense as ! have"
1t was explained that Houdini was q
stranger in these parts, and after he
was securely handcuffed, manacled, fet-
tered and bound, he leaped off. The
surface Of the water cracked, opening
like an earthquake under the weight OF
ironwaie the magician carried. He was
under fif.y-four seconds and then came
up, without a piece of hardware on
him. Mid the shrieking plaudits of the
Joyous thousands he was hauled into
a rowboat and held up his bleeding and
wrenched wrists to show where he had
come into violent contact with the

that she and her dogs must be around

HE had previously made threats that
he would Kill me. ! had no idea he had
a gun in his pocket at that time, though.
