The Delicious "Bureoo."

There are few men living to-day
who know how to make a genuine
bureoo. There are those who have
had the smell OF the big wood fire
In their nostrils. the sights and odors
from the big kettle boiling away on
top of the fire, who would give much
to again experience the ecstasy Of the
breath-cooled first spoonfuls or feel
upon their tongues the. savory taste OF
its satisfying mixture Of meats. vege'
tables, spices and condiments. How
was it made? Well, you take half a
dozen chickens. a portion OF beet, ba
con. veal. pork, all varieties OF wild
game available, put them in a 40-Sal
Ion kettle. Then add potatoes. celery
cabbage, parsnips. onions-oh. any
thing from the garden. Put in he:bs
and spices, salt and pepper. Boil fol
from "a to Sc hours. The proportions
Of each ingredient? Alas! That's the
secret.-Kansas City Star.

WILL THE BIG
MILL BE SOLD?

Is the property of the West Jersey
Tube Works to be sold?
From Philadelphia there comes re-
port this week that promoters there
were endeavoring to get hold of the
plant with a view of establishing big
manufacturing business here. There
was no information with the tip. In
fact the people who reported the rumor
were endeavoring to learn from other
people here what sort of business was
to be engaged in.
Inquiring at the Office of the company
brought the answer that nothing was
known here of the promoters endeavor-
ing to get possession. However, it was
learned that Adolph Segal, the pro-
moter, who organized the West Jersey
Tube Works, was now making strenu-
Gus efforts to sell the property. Since
the failure of the Real Estate Trust
Company Segal has been mussed up in
the courts A recent decision gave him
clear bill Of health and he is now
free to dispose of the property as he
may see fit. Segal has no use for the
property and it is costing him consider

Vital Statistics.

Ihe total number of deaths reported
to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics
during the month ending May Is, 1908,
was 26O2, a decrease of 532 compared
with the previous month, and 1856 less
than the corresponding period last year.
The greatest decrease is in persons
aged 60 years and over and is no doubt
due to the favorable weather condi-
tlons during the spring months There
has been no prolonged low temperatures
which SO depress the vitality of persons
IN advanced years and other individuals
in feeble health.

to trip. The lad was taken to the Office
OF DR.. Alfred Cornwell and the frac-

stood the ordeal, carrying on running
conversation with the physician all the

formed. x rays were used to deter
mine finally that the broken bone had

Young Horner denied knowledge of

Decision is an Important One.

Trenton, June 2.-The State Board
OF Equalization Of Taxes to-day, in de-
Gliding the appeal case of the CONNER
cial Trust Company, of Jersey City,
rendered decision which will mater
tally modify what has generally been
understood to be the practical effect of
a recent decision of the Co 1rt of Errors
and Appeals as to the taxation of trust
companies and bank stock.
The trust company had asked for de-
ductions from the assessed valuation of
its capital and surplus because of in
vestments in non taxable securities.
The State Board to day declined to al
low the deductions on the ground that
the evidence did not show that the in
vestments in non taxable securities
represented the capital and surplus as
distinguished from the banks deposits
The ruling upon which to-day's de-
cision is based makes it incumbent
upon banks and trust companies to
prove that their investments in non
taxable securities represent their capi-
tai and surplus solely.

MURPHY'S BOOM
IS GROWING.

trenton, June 2.-Although few of
the Republican leaders were at the
capital to-day, considerable impetus
was given the Murphy Vice Presiden-
tlal boom by statement from United
States Senator Briggs, who got home
from Washington last night, and who
Will remain in the city until the trip
to Chicago is begun. Senator Briggs
SAID that he made considerable INQUIRY
at Washington and found that Former
governor Murphy has as fine chance.
If not a little better, of landing the
second place as any man in the country.
or all those so far named, the Senator
said, none is better equipped for the
place, and he was surprised to discover
how many friends of power and in
fiuence in national affairs Mr.. Murphy
had. He said New Jersey Republicans
ought to go after the honor with all
possible strength and they would have
an excellent chance of winning.
This statement, coming on the heels
OF the declaration of former Governor
Stokes yesterday that he was for Mr..
Murphy, has given the boom added
stability, and all those present to-day
declared that Jersey Republicans must
go to Chicago determined to win the
prize.
1t was rumored at the capital to-day
that instead of seeking harmony in
Essex county this year the Regular
Republicans intend to make a fight
against the denomination of Senator
Colby. 1t was said that a straight-out
ticket for Senator and Assemblymen
would be placed in the field and that
no compromise would be thought Of
A good many thinkers believe this will
mean sure defeat for the Regulars, -
and that Colby will be stronger than
ever. as he is almost sure to win.

Children's Day at West Church

More and more are churches coming
to honor the place of the child in re-
ligious life and activity. The festaI
day OF June which is known as ''Chil-
dren's Day" is one of the present day
expressions of the churchs belief in
the children. This day has been a
marked day for twenty years. The
Methodists began it, and gave it to all
the evangelical churches of Christen-
dom, just like the Presbyterians insti-
tuted and gave Camp Meeting and
general evangelism to other branches
of the Church of Christ. A church
without a Children's Day misses an
opportunity and wisely created duty.
The season is upon u.s. Preparations
are under way all about. The West
Church will be one of the first to cele-
brate, this year. Next Sabbath, June
18th, is the day arranged for. The
morning service will be the children's
service. ''The Children's King" will
be the theme of the exercise used. A
chlldren's choir will be prominent in
the singing. The regular choir will
sit down in the pews. The minister,
too, who breaches to the children all
the other Sabbaths of the year, will
listen while the children sing and talk
about the King next Sabbath morning.
Special singing and recitation will be
IN order. Some very little folks will
have message for everybody. The
big folks will, of course join in much
OF the singing and the responsive SER
vice. The children and grown-ups will
together bring an offering which will
help to plant and grow other Sabbath
Schools. It will be good service.

has asked the Council for franchise to

systems they desire.
