FLANK COOKERY.
How to Cook and Serve Steak, Fish or
 Game on m Oak Board.
From the London Queen.

From the London Queen.
 Pork. which is of all meats the most gross and indigestible, undergoes a great change during the process of smoking and It's character is entirely altered. The lean becomes comparatively easy of di- gestion, and owing to the change in the gelatine it becomes adapted to meals in which tea forms the beverage, which is not the case with any kind of fresh meat
 The fat of pork is likewise changed to a granular condition and is then so easy of digestion that it is frequently ordered by doctors for consumption, diabetes and other wasting diseases, instead of the more costly and less palatable cod liver oil
 Such change of character is due en- tirely to the chemical action of the smoke wherein the salted pork is dried, and bacon factors find that oak sawdust an swers the purpose better than that from any other kind of wood. This fact veri- fes the discovery which was made many years ago by the dwellers In wild Amer ican forests tfat fish placed on split log in front of a roaring campfire was more savory and succulent than when cooked by any other of their primitive methods.
 Campers who returned to town life re-
 
 and thus plank cooking became intro duced to the home kitchen, and when once adopted by hotels and restaurants became fashionable fad.
 The fashion has crossed the ocean and bids fair to abide. Many London restau- rants make a speciality of plank cookery, and one firm of manufacturers has de- voted itself to the manufacture of blanks from specially prepared woods.
 The fashion has much to commend it., for in large establishments woden blanks considerably reduce the cost of break ages and replatings. On this account and yet more by reason of the improved flavor and increased digestibility, plank cookery is worthy of trial in a small home.
 The blanks should be planed oak from one inch to one and half inches in thickness and varying in size according to the food to be cooked on them and according to the size of the oven, and gouged out in grooves like gravy dish

Starting It Too High

It was in the days before church or gans and choirs and Deacon Dorsey vol unteered to lead the singing of an old hymn. He started out very well: My soul, be on thy guard-ten thou" and he stopped unable to go any further be- cause he had such a high pitch. He started over again, My soul, be on thy guard-ten thou" and once more he stopped. this type pitched so long that he could not proceed.
 Say, Brother Dorsey" said one of the congregation, hadn't you better start it with five thousand?"

LEASE-HOlOERS
At OCEAN GROVE
MUST PAY TAXES
Supreme Court Renders Decision
Overriding State Equaliza=
ton Board.
Special to the Newark star.l


TRENTON, March Am an opinion
filed in the Supreme Court today by
Justice Trenchard, the State Board of
Equalization of Taxes is reversed and
the local authorities upheld in assess
ing le~ase-holders for lands held by
them and owned in Ocean Grove by
the Ocean Grove Campaigning Asso-
citation of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
The ease came into the Supreme
Court on appeal of the association from
the determination of the State Board
of Equalization of Taxes, which held
that the association should be taxed,
because it is the owner of the lands.
The syllabus of Justice Trenchard's
opinion follows:
AN assessment of taxes against a
lessee on account of his interest in
land held under a so-called lease for
ninety-nine years, renewable to the
lessee. his heirs and assigns forever,
where the rent reserved is grossly dis
proportionate to the value of the land
is not invalid"
After discussing at length the pro-
ceedings and the judgments rendered
by the County Tax Board and State
board, Justice Trenchard says: 1.-The
result is that the judgment of the State
Board of Equalization of Taxes will
be reversed and the original assess
ment affirmed with costs"

SIXTY BLOWN TO
DEATH AS POWDER
EXPL0DES IN MINE
One Hundred More Wounded In
Disaster at Shaft of Alas
kan Ore Works.

JUNEAU, Alaska. March 4--SiXty
miners were blown into fragments and
one hundred others are badly injured
today as the result of the explosion OF
a powder magazine in the Mexican
Shift of the Treadwell mines. The ex-
plosion occurred in the 1,100-foot level,
and the miners, caught like rats in a
trap, had no chance to escape.
1t is believed hat more of the IN
1ured will succumb to their injuries
There is a deplorable lack of medical
men. and in the company hospitals,
which are crowded to the limit, the
mangled miners are suffering for wan
of medical attention.
Ten physicians M a dozen nurses
have left here for the scene of the
disaster, but many more physicians
and nurses will be required to prevent
death from lack of medical attention.
The cause of The accident is not
known at this time. 1t is believed,
however, hat the explosion is the re-
suit of a miners lamp coming in con-
tact with the powder magazine. Not
a man in the portion OF the mine where
the explosion occurred escaped injury.
The scenes abou the mouth of the
mine are pitiful. The families of the
miners are gathered about the entrance
to the shaft, and as the bodies are car
ried from the death-trap there is a wild
rush to get near enough to make an
effort at Identification.
The mine, which is operated by the
Treadwell Mining Company, is asso-
ciated with the Alaska Mining Com
pany, and is principally owned by the
d. o. Mills estate. The Treadwell
mines have been operated since 1882,
since which time they have added to
the worlds wealth over $35, 000, 900 in
gold. Five stamp mills, aggregating
$50 stamps, are kept in operation night
and day the year round. The average
value of the ore milled is 1920 per
ton. The mines give employment to
400 men.
