DR.. Sutliffs House Burns.

Fire totally destroyed the residence OF
DIR. Milo II. Sutliff, at Somerset Height, this
county, last Tuesday morning. The flames
broke out about 10 O'Clock and owing to a
strong breeze it was impossible to extin-
guish them. No one was injured The
loss is estimated at about $4,000, parti-
ally covered by insurance.
A strong wind blowing directly to the
north greatly endangered other houses in
the vicinity, and for time there was fear
of a general confiagration. Engine COM
pany No 20 was rushed to Somerset, and
by using the ice pond on the place of Gen.
X. C. Drum was able to get sufficient water
TO prevent the flames from spreading fur
ther. and to save an Outbuilding on the
farm of Adjt. Gen. Drum, u. S. A., retired,
that had begun to burn.
Assistance was also given by a vOIun-
teer bucket brigade from the vicinity and
from TenleytOwn. These men did excel
lent work in saving two or three houses
that were in the direct path of the flames
and sparks.
The efficient service Of the members Of
the District fire department called forth
much enthusiastic praise from the resi-
dents of Somerset The firemen, it is stat
ed. not only fought the flames promptly
and inteligently, but in stretching the hose
for about a quarter Of mile they went
out of their way to avoid injuring the
hedges and gardens of the places through
which they had to pass
Investigation failed to show the cause
of the flames.

Mr.. Bogley says it is absurd to say that
the Bonding Companies which would have
| to make good any leakage, would use their
talents in finding leakaees."
| II apparently does not occur to him that
every good Bonding Company is vitality in
terested in detecting all leakages while
they are small and thus preventing heavy
losses and liabilities to itself. Such COM
panies are about as much interested in
stopping stealing as Fire Insurance Com
panies are in preventing fires. Bonding
| Companies provide themselves with ac-
countants and detectives for this purpose
| and their supervision is valuable check
on bonded officers.
Mr.. Bogley proceeds to insult the intel
ligence of the people by contendine that
the County Commissioners office and an
additional office of County Treasurer. with
separate sets of books and clerical assis-
lance. to act as check on each other, can
be run for $53l.25 less than the one office,
as now provided by law. The mere state
ment of the case refutes his argument.
Upon examining his figures il appears that
for the new proposed Office of Treasurer he
allows salary for Treasurer, So, 900; one
assistant. 5000. and cost of bond to Assis
tant Treasurer. $3l.25; sundries $500;
total. $3.431.29.
This comedies that a separate Treasurer
will cost $4,000 year or over. In order
to keep his total figures down he reduces
the County Commissioners Office force to
one clerk (at $1,000 salary, which he
knows is wholly insufficient to perform the
duties of that Office. as required by law,
outside of the work proposed to be assigned
to the Treasurer.
If the two offices are to be made entirely
separate, so as to operate as a check on
each other, it will be necessary to main
tain the Commissioners Office up to its
present state of efficiency so far as records
and clerical force are concerned.
When all of these matters. are taken into
consideration. the cost of the double sys-
TEN advocated by Mr.. Boeey would mount
up to about $4,000, as against about S.
900 expended for the present system.
What would he offer the people in return
for this additional $4,000 of expenditures
"a new office into which Mr.. BO9ley's son
Jim would exactly fit, according to his
ideas9 .ss
MONTGOMERY HAS MosT ECONOMICAL PLAN.

more economically in Montgomery than in

The Standard Oil Company has decided
to drive the COW and the dairyman out of
business. Its skilled chemists have dis
covered process whereby they can make
eilt-edge butter as by-product of crude
petroleum. If reports are true, plans have
been prepared and contracts soon will be
let for putting up butter-making plant

works in the Constable Hook section of
BayOnne.
ed in the by-product business when deli
cate perfumes were extracted from kero-
sene. Until yesterday no one had an idea
the Standard Oil had designs against the
butter and the oleomarearine industries.
1t is predicted confidently that within a
year the only butter on sale in the Amer
lean market will bear the Standard Oil
label, and that petroleum butter also will
be an active and aggressive competitor
with creamery butter for supremacy in the
foreign markets.
Since the new process was discovered
every precaution possible has been taken
by the Standard Oil officials to prevent the
secret leaking. 1t was only by accident it
became public. The story, which comes
from Bayonne. is that the chemists and
Standard Oil officials were so elated by the
discovery that they made eight pounds of
the butter and put it in a box to be shipped
to John d. Rockefeller. When it came to
making out the express slip. the term
| Petroleum Butter" was used. That led
to inquiries which finally elected the in
formation that the Rockefeller corporation
is going into the butter-making business
Nor did it end with that. Assertion also
was made that the chemists, in the steps
leading up TO the petroleum butter dis
covery, also have perfected cheap process
of converting kerosene into sweet milk,
with larger percentage of butter fat than
cows milk possesses. BY running the pc
troleum milk through separators of high
speed all the butter fat, or cream, is ex-
tracted That leaves the tanks of the sepa-
rators filled with rich and wholesome self
pasteurized buttermilk If that is true, the
butter, cream, sweet milk, buttermilk, and
cottage cheese markets soon will be domi-

In loving remembrance of my littl
daughter. Lillith May Hunter. who fel
asleep in Jesus two years ago, July 18th
1907, aged months and 8 days.
There's another bud removed.
Ere it felt the blight of sin;
Through the door the angels move,
Darling Lillith has passed in.
She has reached the golden shore,
Crossed the river, cold and deep;
Angels bore her safely DER,
Little baby's gone to sleep.
She will wake in fairer lands,
Where the angel band doth sing
There the flower 1t will expand,
There will all perfection bring.
Far beyond the azure skies,
Where the tiny star-eyes peep,
From all earths cares, doubt or fears,
Little Lilliths gone to sleep,
Angels bore her safely over.
So for her we will not weep.
By her loving mother,
