The j ceremonies were simpie, but impressive, and took piace before the members of the state iegisiature and the judiciary, the state odicers and a great crowd of persons that packed Tayior Opera House so that even standing room was Pot avaiiabie. For many years the in aognration of the governor of New Jersey has been an important state event. There have been processions with miiitary and poiitieai organiza tions in tine, and bands have played martiai music. There was atways a Mg reviewing stand in front of the eapitoi from which the new governor reviewed the procession. Governor Fort wanted none of this giitter and requested that it be aii abandoned. For this reason there was no miiitary disptay except the saiute and the at tendance upon the governor of his tniii "of the arrangeHiPbls for The auguration met shdrtiy before noon at the statehouse.

Dr. Edward H. Gtnueiiey of Mbrcer, Henry Young. Jr., of Essex, Mark A. Suiiivan of Hudson and Oiiver C. Hoicombe of Hunterdon. As the gubernatorial party entered the opera house it was a scene that SENATOR EVERETT COLE'S*. wiit tong be remembered. On the stags were the memtters of the tegtstature, which had met at the statehouse and adjourned to the opera house, which was beauttfntty decorated; the judi ciary and state othciats. In the bai cony was Winkler's Second Regiment hand discoursing superb music. In the boxes were the members of Gov ernor Fort's family and his aged fa ther, Andrew H. Fort, and other dis tinguished persons. As Governor Stakes and Governor Eiect Fort en tered the opera bouse they were greet ed with ioud cheering and appiause, which lasted severs] minutes. Presi dent Thomas J. Httiery catted the teg islature to order after the band had rendered a setection. Then followed the prayer by the Rev.

For the extended trip, Southern California, the fruit and flower land of the Pacific Coast, offers unrivaled attrac tions. For the fortnight's trip, Florida, the summer garden of the Northern winter, bids you come and enjoy its genial sunshine, its tropical scenes and its out-door life. For the ten days' outing, Pinehurst, Camden, Aiken, Augusta, Southern Pines and other popular resorts in the pine belt of the Carolinas and Georgia offer many induce ments. For the short trip—the weA-end outing—Atlantic City is always attractive. The same breezes that depress the thermometer in summer seem to keep it up in winter.

Frank Be Witt Taimage, B. D. f-la Los Angeles. Cat.. Jan. 19.—In this sermon thepreacher reveals the secret of the true enjoyment of life and tells us how to escape worry and the thou sand and one afflictions that make ex istence a burden to so many of us. TbetextlsProverbslli. 17, "Allher paths are peace." At one of our church prayer meetings I had an experience that I- shall never forget. It was one of the happiest of the many such meetings that I have at tended Love seemed to be reigning everywhere. The songs were sung as If every one was enjoying them. The prayers came welling up from the heart as the bubbling brook leaps over the rocks of the mountain side. The preacher was sitting in his chair, bet the meeting was being run by the peo ple. The hour in which we prayed and sang and testified was gone too soon. The subject of the evening was, "Why the Christian life should be a happy life and why it shouid grow happier each year." It was a great subject to talk upon. Each Christian was able to speak upon it out of the experiences of his own life. Truly, it seemed that each testimony was a lit tle better than the one that had pre ceded it. Then, wke^ all our hearts were oversowing ^'ftb gratitude to Co<j fQr ids nun*,., .TMMKdes, a- dear f'lenii arose and told this suggestive Incident: "Some time ago 4c a northern city 4 was very much depressed. Things seemed to be going against me. I did not know which way to turn. Then as if to intensify my discomfort the weather was inctement. It is aiways harder for me to worship God when the wind is from the east than when the sun is shining. But suddeniy the storm seemed to break. From a rift in the ciouds the sun burst through and Hooded the branches of a great tree just before me. Then as if by magic a Hock of sparrows came from every di rection and Hew up into the branches of that tree and began to twitter as if in ecstasy. I stopped and said, 'If a iot of sparrows could hunt out a iittie ray of sunshine iike that and be happy in it, surety I, who can bathe in the sun shine of God's mercies and promises, shouid be happy too.' When my friend sat down, I seemed to be sur rounded by a great Hood of God's sun shine. In the gtow of that sunshine there seemed to arise before me the innumerable blessings which crowd into the Christian's life. And then there came to my mind these beauti ful words of my text: "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." The Paths of Peace. The paths of the gospel are fragrant with peace, first, because those who tread them learn to love the simpler things of life. They have not a viti ated or a depraved taste for pleasure. They can tune their songs of life to the keynote of Channing's symphony. They love the flowers and the birds and the children. For them the pleas ures of home are the sweetest and dearest. They can find endless enjoy ment in a walk through the woods and In the cultivation of a garden in their back yard. They would gather gather around the piano In the evening hour and with the members of their fami lies sing the old gospel hymns than hear the most exquisite opera sung by the most famous prima donna Import ed from foreign lands. They would rather see their children play pranks upon the nursery door than go to see the Quest tragedians act their master pieces In the theater. They do not need cathedrals In which to worship God or palaces in which to dnd pleasure, but they can take delight In the simple things of life. Like the poet, they can sing In a garden the words: Were I, O God. in churchiesa lands re maining. Far trom all voice of teachers and di vines. My soul would dnd in dowers of thine or daining Priests, sermons, shrines. I was deeply Impressed with this fact In reading the life of Phillips Brooks. That prince of preachers had the simplicity and the tenderness of a child. Witness the regret he had when he felt himself growing out of the com panionsbip of children. Though he had no child of his oyn- hg adopted all ihg .children rl<e families of hjg ac quaintanceTl When he entered* a* home he was like a hig boy out for a frolic. He could not be made to Obey the rules and the regulations of the house. He raised the standard of mutiny against [decorum, and every child ran to him He would get down on his knees and play and romp as the merriest boy of the lot. Then, when he was nearing the twoscore milestone, when one would suppose that, like Paul, he would be willing to put away childish things, we Bnd him writing these de lightfnl words of regret to an old Phil adelphla parishioner: "The worst thing I see about getting old or being old is that you get farther away from the young people, who are the best people In the world. 1 never see a lot of boys without wanting to be among them and wishing they would let me into their company and being sure they svon't. I hate to think that boys of sixteen think of me as I used to think of men of thirty-seven when I was their age." Could there be a sweeter fragrance of spring blossoms than that? CAuld you dream of a great man being simpler or purer and gentler and more loving than Phillips Brooks wanting to play leapfrog or a game of baseball with a lot of boys when he himself at that time was the honored guest of the great Dean Stanley and was preaching to England's greatest men, who crowded Westminster a&bey to hang on his words? The Sttnpta Things of Life. My friends, one of the most positive proofs that a man is not a true Chris tiam is when he does not iove the aim pie things of life. His mind and heart and tastes are cloyed with artificial en joyments. He is living upon ephemera! g*tmuiants There is not a night when he*, has to stay at home that he is not restless. No sooner is the evening meal ended than he says: "This is stu pid. No need of sitting aronnd here. Let us go to the theater." Or he says, "Come, iet us go to Mrs. So-and-so's card party 6r: "I must do some thing. Let us. go to the ciub and have a game of bliiiards." Or when sum mer comes he hies away to the fash iunabie hotel where he can turn night into day and day into night. And he ia never happy unless he is intoxicat ed* with some kind of excitement. To such a man I wouid say: My brother, what you need is a change of heart. What you need is to get ciose to God What you need is to have so much divine grace that you wiii think it a sufficient amusement when you can play a childhood game with your five year-oid daughter and when you can enjoy an entertainment of a magic ian tem show made ont o an oid sheet hung up in your pario? th the magic iantem siides being y your little boy. "I never pM tut of the gar J den," said a poo home some time 'See how. be cause, like an'bch, s taker in my ]t it says to me, on account of B*-' Was walking with God. And so, my brother and sister, if you once get your hearts right with Christ, the smallest and the most insigniQeant things of life, like the prattie of a chiid, the sight of two iittic kittens tumbling upon the door, the merrymakings of a iot of boys piay ing basebaii in the back iota, wiii offer to you an endiess variety of amuse ment. Oh, that you and f couid be like Phillips Brooks and never out grow our iove of simple, innocent pleasure. The ways of heaveniy wis dom "are ways of pleasantness, and aii her paths are peace." Ways of Pleatantn*!!. The Christian's ways are pleasant also because they are full of peace. As he treads the path of Itfe he has that wonderful peace which passeth aii un derstanding, and he says: "There is a divine power guiding me and mine. Wherever I go and whatever I do his hand is ieading me and his arm is de fending me. My path of iife may ap pear checkered, but God wiii never iet me or mine get beyond the reach of his protecting iove. Aii things work together for good to those that iove God." Oh, my brother, can you not fee! what a giorious peace comes over the wayfarer in the journey of iife when he fuiiy realizes that God is iead ing him and protecting him He is on the highway of wisdom, and aii "her ways are ways of pieasantness, and aii her paths are peace." Some of us have been traveters, and we know oniy too weii the disquietude and the anxiety which come over us when we reaiize that we have strayed from the right path. And, oh, the joy that weiis up in the heart when we rec ognize some famiiiar piace from which we can 8nd our way back home! Some time ago 1 was camping in the wiid regions of Humboidt county, Cai. We ieft the beaten paths and struck into a side road and went to the end of the road, and there we pitched camp for deer hunting. One morning about 3 o'clock we arose and started after game. After awhiie it began to rain in torrents, but stii) we kept on. Then, after we had hunted for some six or eight hours, we decided to make a short cut over the mountains and get back to camp We ciimbed the moun tain and pushed our way on for an hoar or two. Then the whoie topogra phy of the country seemed to change. We were iost! With no food and no means to build a campdre, with drip ping ciothes and empty stomachs, the situation was anything bat inviting. How to get back to camp we did not know unless we retraced our steps to the piace whence we started for the short cut. So back we went. Yet as we tramped aiong everything was so strange. At iast, after a iong pul! and tug, we cried, "Safe at iast!" for we had sighted some famiiiar iandmarks. And though we had still miles upon miies to travei and though the rain was falling in torrents we cared not. For we knew each step we were tak ing was leading us nearer home. It is g happy fceiiMK- after, oak- hak been lost for' hours In tEe woods, toTn3 the familiar path that leads him bach to 8re and food and Messed sleep. Chriataa Guide. WeU. the same feeling I had when lost among the mountains of Hum boldt county and then striking the trail for home is the feeling the Chris tian has when Christ becomes his guide. In the 8rst place he is com pletely lost. He is lost on the moun tains of sin. Every step he takes is a step in the dark and seems to be lead ing him farther and farther away from his Father's house. As he tramps along in the lonely mountains of sin the 8erce eyed monsters of trouble leap out of the thickets and assail him and tt# loved ones he carries in his arms, and it is dark and growing darker every minute. But suddenly out of the darkness there comes the hgure of a man. He has a beautiful face. It is the face of a man, and yet it has on it the signs of divinity. He reaches out his hands to the lost trav eler and says: "What! Lost? Lost in the mountains of stn? Follow me, and I wiH lead thee back to thy Father's house!" And as soon as that gentle Christ takes our hands to guide us our anxiety disappears. Then perfect peace throbs in the heart, and troubie and despair give piace to hope and tri umph. "Her ways are ways of pleas antness, and aH her paths are peace." But there is another fact I want you to notice about these paths of gospei peace. They are the most hea!thfui of aii paths to trave). They wiii give clearness to the eye. They wiii give breadth to the chest. They wiii give strength to the nerves and the mus cles. They wiii give wonderful resil iency to the brain. And they will make men drink out of the fountain of per petual youth. The simple fact is a great many peopie are sick not be cause they need medicine, but because they need the grace of God in their hearts to make them tread the paths of peace. Then white they get spiritual heaith they wiii Hnd their physicai j heaith renewed aiso. And aii this i can be demonstrated on physioiogicai groundB. in the first piace, if you wiii oniy team to trust God you are going to be emancipated from useiess worry, that I awfu! physicai and mental curse which is racking your whoie organism to pieces. You remind me of a ilttie child I who goes to bed and is frightened with a foolish dream. You put your iittie boy to bed and kiss him good night, and he rolls over and goes to sieep. But in the middie of the night you are awakened by a heartrending cry, "Oh, mamma!" You caii out: "Yes, my dear. Gome into bed with mamma." And your baby crawis into bed and you say, "Did my baby have bad dreams?" and he answers, "Yes, mamma; a great big bear was running ^after me and jdmoatt caught me up." Then you /say, "Never mind, my dar ting; just iie close to mamma, and she wm not tet tne near toucn you. men your boy nestles down by your side and goes quietly to sleep. Frightened by Dream. Now, my brother, that Is the trouble with you. You have a whole herd of bears running after you. One of those big bears Is going to eat up your busi ness, and another one of those big bears Is going to swallow down your good name, and another Is going to steal your child, and another steai your home. You are frightened with foolish dreams. These dreams, called worry, are racking your whoie body to pieces. You cannot sleep by night, and you cannot rest by day, and you can not properly digest your food. What you shouid do Is what your little baby does when he has bad dreams. He knows you will take care of him and let no harm come to him. What you need to do Is to nestle ciose up to God's heart He wlil take care of you. He will never fall you. Then If you can only grasp this infinite truth all this useless worrying wlil leave you. And In nowise will the value of the gospel be shown quicker than In the benefit to your physical health. But there Is another fact I want you to learn about these gospel paths of peace. The longer you travei them the more beautiful they become, the more you will be stimulated by their fra grance and the more they will reveal to you the messages of God's love. They wlil be to yon just what the paths of the woods are to the lover of nature. The farther he travels over them the more fascinating and beautlfui he finds them. God is Love. I might appeai for confirmation to the experience of any aged Christian. You, with your white hair and trem biing limbs; you, who are leaning on your staff, you have been following the gospei paths of peace now for over half a century. Tell me, you with your fourscore years, Is not Jesus more precious to you than he was when as a ruddy cheeked lad you first surrender ed your heart to him? "Oh, yes." an swers the aged Christian. "As 1 look back over my long life like the psaim lst I can say, T have been young, but am now old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed beg ging bread.' My journey has been a long, hard journey. Sometimes It was away In the mountains. Sometimes It was down In the valleys of despond. Sometimes my feet have stumbled. Sometimes I have had to took into the gaping mouths of opened graves. But Christ has never forsaken me. Each month and each year he has been drawing cioser to me. And now he is so much a part of my being that i nev er breathe the fragrance of a dower, I never hear a bird sing, i never see a star twinkie, I never see a man's or a woman's or a child's face but I hear a voice singing In my heart; 'God Is love. God Is iove. God is love.' Come, aged mother in Israel. What is your testimony? In the kitchen and Eadyour trtata. I's'Jesus Christ nearer and dearer to you as the years rot! on and the time draws nigh when you wlii see them face to face? "Yes, yes," answers the beautifui faced saint. "As I think of what Christ is to me now and what he atways has been truiy I can say there is one name above every name and one iove above every iove. Oh, truiy, Christ is dearer to me than ever before. Like aii Christians, I can say, 'God is iove.'" Truiy "the path of the righteous is as 'the dawning light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." A Triumphant Peace. And then the terminus of the gospei i paths of peace—oh, what a giorious, a triumphant peace they have! As aii roads during Caesar's reign were said to lead to Rome, so aii the gospei paths of peace uitimateiy converge at one great centra! destination. They aii meet at the foot of the great white throne of God. And aii those who trav ei them shaii assembie there. In the many paths of the dense woods of earth you can pass withih a few yards of your friends and miss them entirely, but there Is no danger of ever losing those who travel the gospel paths of peace. You see, we cannot miss each other. We are all heading to the same destination. We are all going to assemble In the one place, where we shall sing the same songs and look upon the face of the same Christ and live there through alt eternity In the same mansions. Oh, Is It not glori ous news that those who have gone before us and our dear children who are coming behind us shall yet be one with us In glory? White I was writing this sermon 1 seemed to see a most wonderful vi sion. I saw a beautiful picture. In apoeaiyptlc vision I saw the members of my church traveling those paths of peace and all meeting there at the foot of the throne. Then I saw our selves one day going off alone ami as sembling as a congregation, just as we do here Sabbath by Sabbath. We were singing the oid songs and meeting In holy fellowship, just as we do here. Add in my vision I saw myself arise and repeat the beautiful words of my test, "Her ways are ways of pleasant ness, and all her paths are peace." [Copyright, 1908, by Louis Klopsch Japs Taking Up Boxing. A. M. Loughney, an athlete, who has been studying jiu jltsu In Japan, says that the Japs are beginning to take a great Interest in American boxing and that a great prize fighter will undoubt edly be turned out by that country some day. "The Jap," says Loughney, "is by na ture a tighter. If he turns to prize fighting he would be more of a Sghter than a boxer. His head and jaw are shaped like a fighting animal's, and he has what prize Hghters call the 'heart.' HE*f&M(.i%ht a losing battle like an Irishman. In studying jlu jitsu I have found that the Japanese are not nearly as susceptible to pain as we are. Jlu jltsu Is terribly painful and dangerous. If they can stand that, they could stand prize fighting and not mind the punishment. "I taught a number how to box while In Japan. They know very little about It, but learned with remarkabie quick ness on account of their much more rapid sword play. Their main disad vantage Is In the shortness of their reach."—Baltimore News. Mouse Had a Champion. A Washington man went into a downtown business ofHce the other day. He was accompanied by his dog. The dog very soon got busy after a mouse which he espied at the end of the desk at which a cierk was at work. The dog chased the mouse into a cor ner. where it took refuge itohind a waste paper basket. The cierk was wiid with rage. "Caii off that cur or I wiil kiii him!" he shouted to the owner of the beast. "Why, he's after a mouse," said the dog owner. "Don't care. That mouse is a pet, and if your dog kiiis it 1 wiii kiii your dog before he can get out of the ofBce." The owner of the canine was in ciined to get angry, but he saw reai troubie in the clerk's eye, and he iost no time in seizing the brute and throw ing him outside the odice. The cierk had made friends with the mouse during a period of months and was prepared to tight man or dog that offered to destroy his pet.—Washington Star. Made Two Shed Tears. Ray Brown, art director of Every body's, gave a story by Samuei Hop kins Adams to May Wiison Preston for iliustration. Mrs. Preston made the pictures, which were tine, and sent them with the bit).

"That story of yours must be a good one, Sam," said Brown, "it's made two peopie weep." "Indeed!" said Adams, much pieased. "Who were they?"

"Rome boasted of her seven hiiis, but New York wiii be seven times as great, for it is being buiit on forty-nine isiands." said the man who deiights in studying maps and rounding phrases. "That may surprise the person who has the impressiou that Manhattan ls iand is about aii there is to New York, but if he wiii took at his atias he wiii hud that there are forty-eight other is iands withiu the boundaries of the me tropoiis. "Manhattan is the principai isiand in the group now. but New York is young yet ns compared with the age of Rome when that city was at the height of its giory. and 100 years from now the center of the city's popuia tion and business may be shifted to one of the other isiands. And assur ediy. if one takes into consideration the growth of the city in the iast twenty years and the probabiiity that this grow th wiii continue, the end of another century wiii see aimost every one of the forty-nine isiands buiit up with residences or factories.

J. P. MORGAN'S POWER. A P**p inside the Recent Panic's 8e cret Conferences. Those midnight conferences in Mr. Morgan's library, with the prosperity of the entire country at stake, possess more dramatic interest than any other feature of the period of fear. Car riages and automobiles brought the best known Hgures in the Hnanciai world to his door; reporters iincd the Sidewalks, accosting each man as he entered the building in the effort to gather information as to what was to be done to relieve the situation. Anx ious citizens who ordinarily would iong before have been in bed stood iistiessiy about, arousing themselves to a show of interest whenever some new arrival appeared or when some man quietly left the conference. When the runs on the Trust Com pany of America and the Lincoln Trust company, far from abating, seemed to grow more determined each day, it became apparent that radical steps would be necessary to save the trust company situation. Mr. Morgan caiied the leading trust company men to his library to discuss means of achieving this end. it was late in the night before the meeting began. Mr. Morgan strolled in, iightedacigar and appeared to be listening with the deepest interest to the excited and per haps incoherent plans of the officers— pians for solving the riddie without money. His cigar finished, Mr. Mor gan impassively lighted a fresh one and after three thoughtful puffs plac ed it with great care between his an gers, rested his hand on his knee, ciosed his eyes and dropped off to sieep. Twenty minutes iater he arous ed himself, reiighted his cigar and leaned forward. "Gentlemen," he said, "what you have said has interested me greatly. But it is no longer the time to talk about what you-wouid like to do. It is the time to talk about what you must do. We need (10,000,000, and you must raise it. Mr. what will you put down?" He handed a slip of paper to the man nearest him, and after a few mo ments of painfu! consideration this man put down a figure, passing the siip on to his nearest neighbor. When aii had put down their hgures Mr. Morgan studied the record with much interest, totaling up the column. "Gentlemen, we are stiii (7,600,000 short. Come, Mr. will you sub scribe a million?" Mr. was visibly embarrassed, hnally confessing that his powers did not go so high. He would have to con sult with Mr.-. "Where is Mr.-?" asked Mr. Mor gan. "Is he at his house?" The man nodded, and Mr. Morgan rang a bell, instructing the man who answered it to call up the dnancier and say that he desired his presence imme diately. When he had art^M and the reason for the request had been explained he said: "It isn't a question of whether or not we can do it. We've got to do it." The others fell in line, the money was immediately subscribed, and the trust company situation^was relieved.— John Paui Ryan in Metropolitan Mag azine. Fitth in a Royat Kitchen. Some startling statements about "an imperiai kitchen" are contained in an articie in the Paris Revue. The writ er is spoken of editoriaiiy as "a no bieman who was a member of the tm periai inner clrcie." One of the sto ries relates to the czar's attack of ty phoid fever in 1900. "We were talk ing about it," says the nobieman, "and wondering when the czar could have eaten or drunk the fever germs when a nobiewoman in the party said that, having seen the imperial kitchen, the czar's iiiness was no surprise to her. T had an opportunity,' she said, 'to Inspect the czar's special train, and when everything had been wondered at and admired we came to the kitch en. There I wondered also at the Bith and the dirt and the utter dis regard of the rules of ordinary clean liness. I would not have eaten any thing prepared there for the price of the train.'" The writer tells also about the "Insane extravagance" in the imperial kitchen and of the trade which is carried on by the higher serv ants in wines and table luxuries. Great quantities of these are sold at ridiculously low prices to people whose friends wink when they see royai marks on labeis. TheOianemoiogo. This singular name is given by the inventor, Bduardo Torres y Quevedo, a Spaniard, to an apparatus intended to take the piace of stenography in re porting speeches. The apparatus, which consists simply of a series of iittie belie, requires the cooperation of eight or ten writers. Each writer takes a single phrase from the speak er's mouth. At the tinkie of a bell on his left he begins to write what he hears. The beii on his right arrests him and sets his neighbor at work. By the time the circuit is made the first writer is ready for another phrase. Afterward the phrases, which are num bered in their order of taking, are re united to form the entire report. Tried recently at the Athenee, in Madrid, the dianemoiogo gave satisfactory resuits. A 8mmgier's Trick. Josef Gunther, a Bohemian smug gler, has been arrested on the Austro German frontier in the uniform of an j Austrian frontier guard. He confess ed that after suffering much at the hands of the guards in his own smug gling career he had adopted this uni form to harass other smugglers. He had caught twenty sir during sir months and had confiscated their goods as the price of giving them their lib erty. in this way he had made a handsome income. CoiiectingaSeii. The souvenir hunters are making it Ukeiy that when Wiscasset's famous oid Pau!

The beii was purchased in 1800 and is one of the three originai beiis of this make owned in New Engiand. The other two are owned in Bingham and Portsmouth, N. H. The Wiscasset beii was removed from the oid church in 1840 and piaced on the new church dedicated that year. During the re cent Cre the beii was broken when it 'feii to the ground and was scattered about in the ruins. The society intends to have it recast, and, aithough it wiii be impossibie to gather the whoie of the metai, it is expected enough wiii be recovered to make a good sized beii.

This bit of local color Is from the Japan Times: "At Shinokubo, a small village In Soshu, consisting of only seventy houses, several cases of rob bery have lately occurred, to the gr?at alarm of the villagers. A diligent search instituted by them for the of fender proved an utter failure. The community consequently held a mass meeting and unanimously agreed upon cursing the robber to death. A virtu ous priest of the locality was accord lngly applied to for the purpose. "He, however, declined to curse the robber to death, au act too cruel for a holy man like him to resort to, but promised that he would paralyze the robber by his powerful prayers, so as to disable him and lead him to repent ance. Thus the priest commenced his Incantations. But, behold, the robber continued his subtle operations, to the Indignation of the entire community. "The priest has been condemned as a worthless fellow, and the villagers have taken upon themselves the task of repairing every day to the village temple by twos and threes to offer horrible prayers by which the robber Is doomed to an early and fearful death."

The spoiis system is itoth obsoiete atui de inorallzlng and shottid tie ended. Any fair biii intended to attain this resuit in state, county and munietpaiity wiii meet with my approyai. Public Utilities. A public utilities bill should be en acted that will meet alt the demands of the most advanced thought upon governmental regulation of public utility corporations. Such a bill cannot harm such corpo rations. but will, in my view, strength en them and their securities in public confidence. Just and fair regulation ran only be objected to by those misconceiving the rights of the state. The state grants all corporate powers to its railways and other public utility corporations and'may not only modify, but repeal, all charters and charter privileges it confers. It may therefore impose con ditions upon their operation at its pleasure. Of course, In the doing of these things It should act wisely and with conservatism, protecting all vested rights of property and the Interests of the Innocent holders of the securities of existing quasi public corporations. Regulation, therefore, upon a wise baBis of the operation of these public utilities companies, including the fix ing of rates and public charges upon complaint and subject to court review, should* be lutrusted to a proper board as well as the right to regulate the output of stock and the bonded Issues of such corporations. If this were done, It would Inure to the benefit of the people and the com panies, for it would tix the value of such securities and act as a guarantee against their depreciation. Under such a law the holders of existing securi ties would find them protected, and ""new securities offered wdtilS have the confidence of the people because of the guarantee of the state that they .were only issued for extensions or better ments and upon some basis of the cost of such extensions or betterments. There Should he hut one commls- j ston In the state for the regulation of railroads and all public utility compa nies. and in case a new act Is passed on this subject It should embrace all the powers conferred upon the board of railroad commissioners under tbe act approved May lb. Ilk)*. The act of 1907 is good as far ns it goes, hut its powers are not suthciently broad or drastic to compel a compliance with its orders or to reach many matters over which it should have plenary con trol. The present method of enforcing orders provided by the aet of 1907. which requires proceedings in a court of equity by "a bill for specific per formance." is so absurd as to be al most ludicrous. Any order of tbe com- mission should become operative "n less court review he commenced by tbe company affected within a definite number of days, and in default of pro ceedings for review or compliance with the order a penally should be imposed by the commission, the mere tiling of the order for wlie-h In the supreme court should cause It to operate as a judgment against the property of the defaulting company, with the enforce- j ment of this Judgment by an execution j out of the supreme court, as hi the ease of any other judgment. With this sort of a public utilities hill, with a boat'd of four commission ers. at a reasonable compensation, who should be required to devote a!! their time to the duties of the otllee ant) three of whom should always be nee- I essary to make any order, good results j would be accomplished for the people. Department of Corporations. A department of corporations shouid ffpt'StiittHslit-J. witha sltiKte commis sioner at its head. Aiitfm duties now cast upon titescoetary of statein this rpspettshouiddevoiTf upon this com missioner, imtl he shouid he given en iarged powers. No certiticate of incor poration should ite tiled until it has his approval as to form and as to its com piiance with the laws of our state, and no stock should he allowed to be is sued by any company organized under our iaws except upon his certificate that it was issued in compliance with the iaw. He should have absolute con troi over the authority to issue stock for "property purchased," and cash, stock should not he issued until he gives a certificate founded upon proofs of the payment of the requisite amount of cash into the treasury of the com pany. As to property purchased stock, he should be required to approve the ac tion of the directors in authorizing such stock, and oniy so much of that class of stock shouid be allowed it) be issued as th* comtulssloner. upon the proofs liefore him. should permit \o mortgage to secure negotlahl# bonds s!trtid be allowed to Is- placed upon tin- property of any corporation until his certificate of consent thereto shall lie first obtained and the atnonnt of the bonds to be Issued statMl In such certificate. The bonds never should es< eed the actual vHtne of the property mortgaged. He should he given visatorta) powers as to any cor porallon organized under the laws of this state, with the rl)fht at all times ti< Inspect the books, papers or minutes of any company and to take copies thereof. Ih- should lie allowed, with the ap proval of the attorney general and the governor, to tnke legal prta-eedings In the nante of the state for the protec tion of the rights of a corporation or its stockholders. Tin- time has cotne for the strict su pervision of these great corporations and the limitation of .their stock and bond issues under some proper public otth'lal. It will make for conservatism anil strengthen the companies doing a legitimate business add eliminate, let us hope, those which are merely spec ulative In character and organized sim ply to catch the unsuspecting or cred ulous Investor. Department of Motor Vehicles. At tat' present tune tne motor veut cleiaws are administered in connec tion witit tin- otiice of the secretary of state. Theuseofthesentachinesisbecont ingsogenerai. the number of then) is so great (the iiccttses exceeding 23.000) and tite revettue nttder a changed it cense system wouid be so iarge that this shon Id be a department by itseif. The enforcement of the automobile htws is demanded by the traveiingptth iic. A very iarge percentage of the automohiie drivers are carefui. but titere are some who are not. if the present automohiie iaw is too stringent, it shouid be amended. A speed of twenty miies an hour in many piaces is not excessive—in fact, it may be said to be quite moderate without misstating the truth—white in other piaces a s)*-cd of tweive miies an hour is more rapid titan these machines shouid be permitted to go. But. what ever the iaw may be, it shouid be en forced. There shotiid be suftictent otHciais in the department of motor vehicies to see that it is enforced, and the penaity for the vioiation of the iaw shouid be more severe. The returns from this department on the basis of an increased iicense fee would give it as iarge a revenue as is derived from any other department of tite state, and i shoufd not be surprised if the revenue within a year on a rea sonabie horsepower iicense fee wouid exceed $300.(M). The expense of con ducting this department probably would reach 5 per cent of the entire revenue received, and its efficiency under a commissioner couid be made very much greater than at present. New Jersey has the finest roads of any state in the Union and, in propor tion to her territory, more than any other state. We must do everything to increase the number of miies of these admirable public highways and to maintain then) after they are con structed, ami this department, proper ty managed, wiii be a most etHcient aid in securing the revenue by which the state road commissioner can main tain those roads m good repair. Department of Pubtic Reports. The state pubiishes a mass of ofBciai reports at a iarge expense each year. The cost of these pubiicatious wouid be cut down many thousand doiinrs per year if they were inteliigentiy ed ited. with a view to printing oniy such matter Ms wouhi add to tite usefu) hnowiedge of the pubiic. i recommend that a iaw be enacted creating a "department of pubiic re ports." consisting of a singie commis sioner who shalicontroiai! state pub lications subject to the approvai of the governor. Department of Accounts. tnestateneeusanaccounrantue partmeut of the most ethcient kind. There shouid be a ttnifonn system of itookkeeping in aii the state depart tnents ami institutions, and all ac counts should be tboroughty examined and audited. The fee system has been abolished in the state, and yet at no time has there been an audit or verification of any of the reports of county or state ofticiais. so far as i know, by any com petent accountant to see that the state fees returned are correct or that aii the judicial or other fees to which the state is entitled have been actuaiiy coiiected. This can only be done by an exami nation by competent accountants of the books ami papers in the ofHces of aii oiticiais coilecting fees. In addition to this, aii the state insti tutions shouid be subject to quarterly, certainty semiannuai, examinations as to their hnanciai affairs. It is the state's tnoney they expend. For what it is expended they shouid be exam ined and a Close watch kept by compe tent exanA<er$, with reports to the governor of any expenditure not found to be within the law. In addition to this, no expenditure of any state institution or department shouid be made unless duplicate biiis for the same are sent to the board of audit, that check and counter check may be kept upon aii expenditures and against ait appropriations and treasury payments. County Boards For the Equaiization of Taxes. By an act approved on the 14th day of Aprii. lbOh. county boards for the equalization of taxes were created. These hoards were clothed with com siderahie power over the property of the citizen in respect to its valuation for taxation and over lire review of as sessments made by iocai assessors. The hoard in each connty constat* of three mt-m!<ers They ere paid hy tbs state, amt their annua) coat to the state is besides the expense te tits* counlies. Such att expensis e piece of trovet n ])i. ittit)iuai']))tts-ryK)t<m)<!on!y!n-main tained if resstlts itettefts'iai to the state orthcs itixcnftowfKOniit. For me ss-!f i itave iseen ttttahie to discern any advantage rcstiltittg to the state or the pess)slffro!tttits'scts«ards. The osten tiisle purpose for tite creation of these isoarsis was tst[irocttre tits* esptntizatton stf values. if this were tite reai rea son. titen fits- two years they have ia-ett s'staitiisitesi is a ioug enostgh ttiste tss ass'vtu]'iis)t this ensi. and their fttrther exlstetu-e is unnecessary. itt any view ssf tite case the county boanisoftaxatiott. [ftheyeverhada ttseftti purptss'L httve now served that pttrpose attsi sitottM )te aitoiished and returtt ite itasi nstt oniy to the iocai as sessment of property, but to the re view of assessments against the prop erty of individual by Iocai boards of appea) in cases of taxation. Provision, however, shouid he made for some board or body with power to equaiize hy simpie methods of procedure and at stuaii expense valuations between rnn nicipaiities for the apportionment of connty taxes. Probabiy this can be done througit tite state board of equai izntioh of taxes. tn this connection and as incidentai to tne atscussmn ot me equalization or the vatue of the railway and individual property I suggest, tn view of the claim frequently made that railway property tu this, state is assessed above its true value and the counter conten tion and belief of many that it is as sessed below its true vaiue, that au thority be given to appoint two com petent and eminent experts in the vaiuation of such property to make an Inventory and appraisai of ali the fixed railway property In this state for the information of the state board of as sessors. tire state board of taxation, the leglsiature and the people. Since estab lishing our present method of taxation of raiiway property in 1884 no such valuation has been made. If the property of the railroad com panies is taxed in excess of what it shouid be, it is wrong and shouid be righted. If it is not so taxed, the peo ple are entitled to know the facts. Nothing is wanted but that which Is just and rigid. Constitutional Amendments. Various subjects of amendment of the constitution of the state have been before the people of the state for some time. One is an amendment that wii] per mit of the separation of municipal from state and national elections. This, in my view, is an exceedingly popular suggestion, and there is an ai most unlversai demand for such separa tion of the municipai from the state and national elections, and untii a con stitutional amendment can be adopted some provision should be made by which the tickets voted at an eiection should be separate, so that the mnnirb. pal ticket and the state or national ticket should be voted in different boxes. The cost of two elections a year should ire avoided If possible. It is diiitcuit now to get people to vote at one election, and ^iie experiment of having two elections in the same year, as was the old custom, should not be tried again. Untii a constitutional amendment shaii be adopted providing for these eiections in alternate years i suggest that a statute be enacted pro viding for two boxes and two tickets at the fail election, separating the na tional and state from the municipal and county otHcials to be voted for at such eiection or the Massachusetts bal lot Another suggested amendment to the constitution retates to the creation of assembly districts. The legislature last year passed an amendment providing for this. In the more popuious counties there seems to be a general demand in favor of assembly districts, and upon princt pie it seems to me to be right. In connection with this proposition it seems to me to be worthy of con sideration whether it would not t<e wise to submit tn the people of the state at the same time an amendment to increase the possible limit of as semhiymen. which is now fixed by the constitution at sixty, to not exceeding 100 mem iters. In the same way I suggest whether the time for submitting an amendment to tiie people should not be reduced from once in five years to once in three years and whether the voting upon such amendment shouid not be changed so that the vote shouid be had at a general election, where the people take sutHcient interest to vote, rather than at a special eiection, as at present required. Court Reorgannation. F*or years the subject of the reor ganization of the courts has been un der consideration. The bar associa tions of the state and of the severai counties and three commissions have considered the matter with much care. The peopie have once voted upon a proposition. The report of the last commission is now before the legisiature for action. There tvouid seem to be no good rea son for the refusal to submit to the peopie for their approve! definite amendments looking to the simplifica tion of our judiciai system. No law yer-of repute or other citizen familiar with the facts advocates the continu ance of our court of errors and ap peais as at present constituted. It iii an anomaly in the judicial systems of all the states. It is too large for ex peditious labor or satisfactory confer ences, and it has other defects. The ideal Judicial system is that which has but two courts—one with original jurisdiction and the other with appellate power only. It is important tn the admlntstratlon of the law that trials should 1st had and decisions ren dered promptly. Delays Impette jus tice and l<ouottt only those who may ilesire to hinder or annoy the suitor. t he pending report of the last com mission on the reorganization of our courts is one to which 1 can give my approval in practically every detail ex cept as to the method of constituting the courtof pardons. It will. If adopt ed. greatty simpUfy and improve our judicial system without destroying our procedure or method of trial. It In sures always a high grade of judge in the court of first Instance, which la of the utmost Importance In any sys tem of jurisprudence. The court of pardons should be com posed of the governor and four other persons specially appointed. The proposed amendments, if adopt ed. will give greater efhetency In the trial court, while reducing the cost of the courts to the state by something like $40.1)00 per annum. Rotiramont of Judg** f have for years advocated the pas sage of au act for the retirement of judges. The judges of our higher courts must be made to feet on entering upon their duties that their income is safe irrespective of political changes, perr manent iii heaith in ofBce or o!d age. The saiary of the otHce wiii not then be an inducement to enter upon judiciai duties, but ratiiet- the opportunity for distinguished pubiic service. Our state shouid authorize the re tirement of her judges upon one-third or one-haif pa^ in case they are per manentiy stricken in office or upon ttteir arriving at the age of seventy years after a consecutive service of at [east ttventy-one years in judiciai posi tion. This woutd make the judiciai position aii that I have tried to in dicate that it should be, and I am sure such an act wiii meet with universai pubiic approvai. Voting Machine*. There is a cnnsidcraitie diversity of opinion on the voting machine, i'er sonai considerations siionid not eontroi in the ntatter. it is a Question of state poiicy. Under onr form of government there is hut one way to determine whether the people wish then) or not. 'they must settie it for themseives. To this end 1 recommend that pro vision be made for the people to have an opportunity to voice their sent) mentsonthesubjectatthenexteiec tion and that in each eiection district where a machine is instailed a vote shaii he taken whether the machine shaii remain or not and that in the meantime no additional machines tie purchased. Aboiition and Consotidation of Boards. (II The hoard of arbitration as ex isting in our state shouid be abolished, it is impossibie to conceive how any defense for its retention can be made. The drawing of sataries by pubiic offi cials who do absoluteiy nothing and can do nothing under existing condi tions makes the [Ihyment of this mon ey ont of the state treasury a crime against public moraiity. A suggestion of their further continuadce is intoi erabie. (21 The present hoard of riparian commissioners should be abolished, ft has four members, costing the state for saiaries $'i.ddd. A single commis sioner at one-half this expense, who shouid devote himself to this work and whose acts should he subject to the apprtfvai of the governor and the attorney general, wouid answer every purpose and assure much better resuits than those now attained. (3) The state Imardof health andthe state sewerage commission, which cost the state over $uH.000 last year, shduhl be united. The sewerage commission shouid be aboitshed and the board of health re organized, with a medicai secretary in charge, with a president and tive mem bers to be appointed, who shouid tie reasonabiy compensated for their serv ices. The cost of this need not exceed the salaries now paid to the sewerage com missioners atone. This action wouid insure a better re suit to the state and promote simplicity and efficiency in the pubiic service. (4) The potable water and the Pas saic river Hood district commissions should both be abolished and a single headed department established to be known as the department of water, with ai! the powers now conferred upon these commissions vested tn such department. (5) There are three oyster commis sions. with a bureau of sheii fisheries, costing the state for the saiaries of the commissioners and other expenses about $27.tKMtperyear. There are ten commissioners and one chief of bu reau. aii saiaried. There seems np business reason why they shouid not ail be grouped together under the titie of the oyster and sheiiHsh depart ment. with a singie commissioner to direct the whoie work at a greatiy re duced cost to the state. There are other commissions needing modification or aboiition, concerning which I may speak tater. The Excise Question. At the tate election the people of the state, as I interpret the result, ele cta red for the enforcement of the act of 190(1 known as the bishops' bill. The Issue was fairly made, and the answer cannot be misunderstood. In Kew Jersey by statute since our emerging from a colony it has been unlawful to sell intoxicating liquors upon the first day of the week, com monly cailed Sunday. The making of such saies a crime is therefore as oid as the state. It was the policy of our fathers, and by the vote of our people at the last election it is .tlieir poih-y. The duty of the executive and of the courts and of every persecutor, mayor and magistrate is to enforce the cios ing of ali piaees whore intoxioants are soid on Sunday and to see that any one Rotating the taw tn this regard is punished More than that, no iegisia tion modifying tbia ia deniandeii hy the [teopie. During my term 1 shaii regard it aa an obiigatton cast ttpon me by the pee pie to veto any measure suggesting any modification of existing taw on the question of the sates of liipior on Sun day. The excise iaws can never be proper !y enforced untii the iocai ofBciais do their duty To accompiish this they must )<e heid to strict accountabiiity for the nonenforcement of the iaw. To titis end. therefore, severat acts of iegisiation are essentia): hirst.—A more simpie and effective provision for the revocation of a it tense by the granting power in ease of the vioiation of the excise iaws in any respect. Second.—An act making a revocation of a iicense resuit upon a conviction of the vioiation of the excise iaws or upon a piea of guiity or non vuit. Third—An act conferring upon the governor the power to remove any mayor who faits to take measures to enforce excise iaws within his* mu nicipaiity. sueh removai, of course, to he oniy after notice requiring such enforcement and after charges, triai and [tearing. Further excise iegisiation should be enacted in the fottowing respects: (1) A general statute shouid be pass ed which wilt increase the present min imum itcense fee in aii piaces for the sate of intoxicants: and, (2t In cities of the tirst eiass the min imum shouid he at ieast $600. One thousand wouid be better, and in iesser cities and towns in proportion. (3) The number of saioons shouid be iimited on sotqe basis of population. (4) No more than one or two saioons at most shouid be aiiowed to be locat ed upon any city biock. (5) Fix a cioslng hour for saioons and bars for each night, say at 12:30 a. m., after which no bar can be open untii, say, 6 a. m. (H) At! rtgut to transfer a ncense should be abolished. (7) Estabiish a state board for the revocation of iicenses, with power upon the petition of any citizen to re voke any iicense for a vioiation of the excise iaws. this board to be required to sit in different parts of the state at stated times. (8) Pass a suppiement to the evidence act providing that where proof shaii be had that any liquid drink was soid or deitvered in any saioon or at any bar on any prohibited day it shotiid he presumed to be intoxicating iiquor, nn^ in any trial upon an indictment or any other proceeding the burden of proof that such liquor so soid was not intoxicating should be upon the de fendant. (9) No person or corporation engaged In the sale of malt or spirituous liquors shouid be ailowed to establish q sa loon in some other perso#-^ ngc^lor to furnish money for t&* s Agreements, teases or morfb"tytd after made for such a. puj^HMW^o secure money for such a purpose j shouid be deemed absoiutely void. !uir I shouid any agreement be iawful which obligates any person to take, buy or sell only the product or output of beer or other malt or spirituous liquor of any other person or corporation in or at any iicensed place of business. If these suggested iaws can be enact ed and the existing excise laws enforc i ed, there will come an increased legiti mate revenue for municipaiities, with probably a large reduction of the num ber of licensed saloons and also a quiet observance of Sunday under conditions which wiil guarantee proper rest and recreation to the men of our state and ttfeir families. Jury Reform. The selection of the grand jury at the mere personal whim of a sheriff is. in the hands of a sheriff who hoids iightiy his ohiigatious of office, a most dangerous power. The iiherty of the citizens is in the hands of one man, and the crimina! machinery of the state, with ali its power and ignominy, may be directed most nnjustiy against any person or he used to gratify persona! or poiiticai ends. This has been done in our state, and grand juries have been selected at the behest of a power foreign to the sher iffs ofiice. it shouid be made impossi ble hereafter, it is not wise to take ati the power from the sheriff in the mat ter of seiecting jurors, saying nothing of the question of the constitutions! right to do so. But the drawing of grand and petit jurors shouid be regu lated by strict inw under a system of drawings either by the sheriff aione or in connection with other persons as commissioners, so that impartial re suits may he obtained and citizens in different between the state and offend ers may be selected for aii classes of jury duty. j Removal of Municipal Officers. There should be [tower in the ex ecutive of the state upon the compiaint of the governing lutdy or of u specified number of the citizens of any munici pality to receive and to determine charges against the mayor of any mu nicipaiity for the faiiure to perform his duty or for malfeasance in office. It exists in some of our sister states; and it shouid exist with us. Municipai gov ernment is the prohiem of our time, and a munieipai executive shouid be vigiiant in the performance of his duty, watehfu! for the interests of the peo ple. vigorous in the enforcement of a)! iaws. The charters of most of the cities and towns of our state make the mayor the head of the notice department and of many other departments in the city or town. Upon trim in mnnicipai mat ters. as upon the executive of the state in eta to matters, shottid rest the re sponsibiiity of seeing that aii other ofHctats do their duty. For the faiiure on his part to perform his duty there should, he some remedy (or the peopie f of the mnnfeipaitty. The power of re mora) of auch an officiai can onty be fodged tn one of two places—nameiy, the courts or the executive of the state. Such a power ahoutd not be iodged in the court except in the ordinary way, through indictment or on presentment of a grand Jury, and then for crime oniy. The iegislature should provide that, upon charges and after hearing, the governor of the state shontd have au thority to remove the executive of any municipality for causes which shouid be defined in the statute. The effect of this woutd be to hold municipal oM eials to the highest sense df their re sponsibility to the pubiic. The executive, of course, should have discretion upon such a complaint being mad^e to him to entertain it or not, as he Judged proper, but if the compiaint be of such a serious nature and char acter as to justify its being entertain ed and if after hearing the proof es tablishes the fact that the charges made are true, then there ahouid be power in the executive of the state to remove such an official and to have him succeeded in his ofHce by such method as the charter of the city or town shali provide as to his successor in case of his death or resignation. I recommend such legislation. An examination of the statutes of the state of New Jersey discloses the fact that there are no provisions of iaw empowering the governor of the state or any one etse to remove from any ofHce any state official appointed under a statute, even for cause. The chief executive should be armed with some power both for the enforce ment of the taw and for the removai of those in pubiic office who refuse or neglect to perform their dnty,. It may be easily imagined that cases may arise where public otHctals are shown to have been guilty of either misfeasance or maifeasance in office and who refuse to resign, and it might be that cases wonid arise where a pubiic official should not be permitted to resign. In either event there should be some power In the governor, upon formal charges In writing, to cite any statutory state officer to show cause why he should not be removed, and if. after hearing and full opportunity to make defense, the governor should ba satisfied that the official has been der elict in the performance of his duty or guilty of a more serious offense he should then have the power to remove him. The governor should be held re sponsible for the administration of all public affairs in the state. He should recognize that It Is his duty to see that the institutions, penal and charitable, and all the departments of the state government are conducted within the lines required by the law and the con stitution and that the officials in con nection with these institutions and de partments are in attendance upon and in the performance of their duties, that they are' not neglecting the service which they owe to the sutkt and that they are not guilty of _ ftce or,. malfeasance In office, (ff courser governor cannot do this alone and un aided. but he may do it through proper assistants of the kind and character which I have recommended in this message through a department of he counts. Of necessity this will entail labor upon the governor, but the people of the state elect their governor for that purpose, and he should either perform his duties and see that others perform theirs or he should not assume the ofHce. Other Suggestion! Hereafter. There are other questions concern ing which 1 am deeply interested, upon which I shall not touch In this Inau gural. They relate to the making of further grants of riparian lands and of state aid for an Inland waterway from Bay Head to Atlantic City and Cape i May. to the -advisability of changing the present method of control of state institutions and reducing the number of the managers, so that there shall be more concentration of authority; to the question of the passage in this state of an employers' liability act and further legislation regulating the letting of contracts by boards of chosen free holders. Keep Every Promise. Every promise made to the people In the platform of the party prevailing In the last election must be kept. This Is a duty which both the legislative and executive branches of the govern ment must regard as obligatory. One of these pledges was to simpli fy the primary and election laws, to give greater security against fraud and to insure a recount In all cases. Another was to adopt measures to keep the professions! lobbyist out of the halls of the legislature. 1 If I may be pardoned for the sug gestion, may I ask -that you adopt a rule in both your houses, If you have not already done so, excluding every one except state otBcers from the door of either chamber at all times and see that it is strictly enforced 6y your of-! deers until a statute to cover the case of the most severe character shall be j adopted making it a misdemeanor for any one to violate It I The professional lobbyist has no place In morals about I a legislature, and he should have none In law. In conclusion I ask you to pardon me. if I urge that you make the session short. The people are expecting this. If you expect action by the executive on any bill, it must be in my hands be fore the adjournment of the legisla ture. My view Of our constitution is j that there is no power in the execu tive to approve a bill and thus make it a iaw except it be done while the legislature is in session or within d e i days thereafter. I shall strictly ob serve this constitutional provision as I interpret it. and all bills not before me in time to be so acted upon will fail.

ETIQUETTE OF THE AFTERNOON CALL T'HIS is the seasoo of the year when af temoon entertainments for women are at their height. They are of two distinct classes, formal and informal. AH of us are human enough to prefer the latter, yet few of us decline invitations to the former. The woman who sits at home and mopes, complaining to her husband at night that she is bored and lonely, has only herself to blame. Let her ask a half dozen friends in iTor the afternoon to play cards or to make clothes for some hospital—anything to occupy their hands while their tongues are busy. Then let her serve a cup of rich chocolate, or even tea, with dainty sandwiches. She will find that her friends had such a good time that they, in turn, will have a little 'afternoon," and thus a jolly if informal circle will result. When you give an Informal affair your invitations should be sipipie little notes written in the first person, or given over the telephone, or delivered personally if you happ&n to meet a friend in the street. An hour should always be set for the affair, no matter how informal. The winter afternoons are short, so ask your guests to come at half-past two. They, of course, will be expected to remove their hats and coats at these little affairs. If the guest, do not sit all afternoon with your hat on, saying to your hostess that you did not have time to comb your hair. Wear a neat little shirt waist or simple dress, have your hands well manicured and your hair neatly combed. If you are the hostess at such an Informal gathering, be quite sure you do not invite two women who are not friendly. At a large gathering this would not matter so much, but in a room where there are only five or ten people, the situation would be most embarrassing to all the guests as well as yourself, thus putting a damper on an otherwise pleasant afternoon. With out doubt, one of the greatest secrets of a successful hostess is her ability to get the right people together. A question that has always been more or less under discussion is whether or not you owe your hostess a call after an informal affair—an afternoon at cards, a tea, etc. I think no definite answer has yet been given, but it is well to be on the safe side and drop in on your friend informally some morning or early afternoon. Do not make a fashionable call, dressed in your most gorgeous raiment, but pay her a call in the same informal spirit as the occasion was given. With formal receptions and large afternoon teas, the rules are quite dif ferent. Although men are invited to these festivities, they do not go in anything like the numbers that the women do. Most men have to be about their business while their wives are gossiping over their tea and wafers. A married woman should leave her husband's card when she attends such a function. A tray for this purpose is generally found in the hall or some convenient place. You do not remove either your hat or your gloves at a formal afternoon tea. If your wraps are heavy, you can take them off in a room provided for' that purpose. Do not enter the parlor 1 with a veil over your face. If you have handsome furs, the neck-piece you can keep on, but a muff is always a burden in a room, where you are called upon to shake hands and to hold a plate while you eat. It should be left in the dressing room with your veil and wraps. The muff is respon-i sible for more accidents in the tea room than any other article of ap parel. Often a woman trying to manipulate a fork and hold a plate and a muff at the same time is -so overburdened that something is bound to be spilled. At formal teas and receptions you should stay only a short time. Some times a hundred or more invitations have been sent out, the hostess know mg that only a tew women wtn oe present at a time. If you meet several frienda-and want to chat with them a few moments, you should not let that chat run into a visit. Even when you know the hostess very well, half an hour is long enough to stay at any formal function of this sort. Here, again, the question arises, "Do I owe that woman a call?" And again my answer is as before. Drop in some afternoon and pay her a short call, leaving your own and your husband's card. Card parties are sometimes given with great formality. This is often done as a means of returning many so cial obligations at one time. Invita tions to such an affair should Me sent out two weeks in advance; they should be either written in a formal manner or engraved cards, if you can afford them. The hour should be set. At a card party of this character ladies do notremovetheirhats, but, of course, must take off their wraps and gloves. Refreshments are served at the Hnish of the game, at the individual tables where the guests are seated. The giving of booby prizes has been discontinued, and a third price gener ally given Instead. Personal articles are now given to women as prizes at afternoon gatherings—silk stockings, featherboas, gloves, etc. Such prizes are acceptable to either the single girl or married woman, while bric-a-brac, table linen, etc., are often of the "not wanted" class of prizes. There is no question as to whether you owe this hostess a call or not. The answer is most emphatically "yes," and it should be paid within two weeks after the card party. As your hus band was not invited to the affair, you need not leave his card. But the call must be made promptly and not put off from day to day, until, when you do call, your 'Whole time is spent in ex plaining why you have not called be fore. THP RIGHT AND WRONG BELT FOR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS w v UNDREDS of women mar a !—H charming costume by the addi tion of an inappropriate belt or girdle. A belt that does not harmonize with a gown a girdle that clashes in color, no matter how exquisite the ma terial. will spoil the handsomest cos tume that any woman ever wore. This "hurry-up" age in which we live is largely responsible for such discord ant combinations, against which every woman should fight. With a tailor-made suit consisting of skirt and jacket, there is only one proper belt if you wish your jacket to set well and your entire costume to look right. That belt, made of a piece of the goods, is not over an inch in width and is stitched all around until the entire belt is covered with stitch ing. This belt should be tacked on the back of the skirt and be fastened in front with a tiny hook and eye. It is always ready, and without exception is the one and only appropriate belt to wear with a stiff tailored dress. Take, for instance, a brown broad cloth suit, such as is now so much worn. With this is worn either a brown silk blouse or one of net. Now picture to yourself two women—one with a light blue crushed girdle, shirred in front and boned in the back. Ofcourse, this cannot be fas tened to the skirt, so it is pinned down in the back with a large gilt pin and is aiways riding up in front. Look at the other woman, with her neatly stitched bett of brown cioth sewed on the skirt and fastened trimiy in front No pins are necessary, and the beit seems to be part of the skirt. Which woman are you? Leather beits and elastic beits of various coiors are sttii seen in the shops; hence, women must be stiil wearing them, but, beiieve me. nothing iooks worse than a soiied white leather beltonacoloreddress.Ablack leather beit on a colored dress is not Quite so bad, but should never be worn with anything except a black skirt. A brown leather belt, worn with a white shirt waist and biack waiking skirt, is a combination often seen. There is no excuse for such a disfiguring com bination. Brown halts with brown skirts; black belts with black skirts; tight biue girdles with light blue dresses—this is the rule which leads to artistic effect in frocks. The beautiful Dresden ribbons which are flooding the counters are bewilder ing in their exquisite coloring, and the most fashionable dressmakers are using them for girdles and bows. But you must select a Dresden ribbon that harmonizes in coloring with your gown. A ribbon with a black satin edge, with blue flowers in the center cannot be worn on a pink evening gown; the dress fabric must be blue, or else the tones of the ribbon pink. Brown is the color par excellence for gowns this season and the Dresden ribbons come in gorgeous shades of brown, tan and biscuit coloring to combine with the gowns. Years ago we used to think that all brown dresses should be relieved with a touch of color, generally pink or blue. Not so to-day. All trimmings, girdles and belts must be of blending tones, with perhaps a touch of gilt braid to relieve them. Many women, and almost all young girls, wear lingerie dresses in the house all winter. Do not mar one of these dainty gowns with a soiled belt of faded ribbon. The most favored way of joining belt, waist and skirt is to use a piece of insertion at the waist line, sewing waist and skirt on to it. Sash ribbons around the waist line of lingerie dresses are seldom seen on the well-dressed woman. Occasionally a EGG RECIPES M EAT prices have aoared so high that few people are serving it more than once a day, and that is generally-f however, like' fast, and the soon palls on tite.

SOFTENING ANGLES AND SECURING CURVES TT seems ajmost inconsistent in this season, I when the hipiess woman is in high favor, to write an article for women who iong for curves. There are many women, notabty dressmakers, who wii! protest that no wo man desires to possess curves since the Louie coat and the Faquin sheath-tike skirt are in vogue. But the fact re mains that hundreds of Women ail over the country do write to me be waiitng their angies and the seeming impossibility of covering them with Qrm, curving fiesh. The most common causes of thin ness—unattractive thinness, not slen derness—are indigestion or malassimi tation of food, and extreme nervous ness or the habit of worrying. The woman who eats, but does not secure any strength from her food, wiii never take on any aesh. This means that a diet should be ordered by the family physician and some special tonic or appetizer given. A successful French beauty doctor advises this appetizer for the nervous, thin, fussy woman: Tincture of star-anise.3 grammes Tincture of rhubarb.3 grammes Tincture of nux vomica.3 grammes Take Bix tp ten drops in a spoonful of water just before meals. If it is a case of nervousness and worry, the faculty of taking every thing In the hardest way and fretting about the unavoidable thing, then no tonic, no appetizer, no cream or emol lient or skin food can work a cure. The cure lies within the mind of the woman. She must stop fussing and worrying. For a general skin food, to be used to feed either flabby skin or actual hol lows, there is nothing better than this: Tannin grain Lanoline .30 grammes Oil of sweet almonds.20 grammes To get best results from this mas sage cream, take a warm bath and, when the pores are open, rub the cream in wherever hollows are found. If only the breasts have turned dabby or atrophied, the fiesh can be fed externally with the above lotion and then the patient may take inter nally the following potion: Liquid extract of galega (goatsrue), 10 grams; lacto-phosphate of lime, 10 grams; tincture of fennel, 10 grams; simple syrup. 400 grams. This can be prepared by any drug gist. It is to be taken internally, two soupspoonsful with water before each meal. keep tne oowets open ai.-s drink extract of matt or ate with your meats instead of water. A very simple desh food, especially good for the woman whose skin is dry and harsh, a condition which often ex ists in connection with extreme thin Freshlard.100 grams Alcohol <80 per cent.). 20 grams Essence of rosemary.11 drops Essence of bergamot.11 drops These ingredients can be purchased at any drug store. Be shre that the iard is pure. Mett in a double boiler and add a tiny bit of gum camphor. Strain, and beat into this the alcohol, and lust before the cream hardens or congeals, add the essences. Massage the skin with this every day. doing the work slowly, firmly and conscientiously. Spasmodic treatment of either too much fiesh or a shortage in fiesh will secure no results what ever. Best of all for the thin woman are the deep breathing exercises so often mentioned in these coiumns. Iwtiibe glad to send these exercises, together with any advice for individual cases of thinness, on receipt of a stamped and addressed envelope. COMMON POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE—The proper name of this substance is mercuric bi chlorid. or bichloride of mercury, and it is extensively used as a germicide and antiseptic. Ordinarily it is soid in green tablets about half the size of a penny and three times as thick. After swallowing it, the patient notices a metallic taste tn hts mouth and then a severe pain in the stomach. Saliva Hows freely. Vomiting and diarrhoea appear. Oive the patient milk imme diately, and the whites of three or four eggs, and then try to induce vomiting. The after effects of poisoning by mer curic chiorid are severe. Therefore it is important to send for medical aid. even when the quantity swallowed has been smail and apparent recovery has followed quickly. OPIUM.—This is usually taken in the form of paregoric, laudanum, mor phine or in some "cure" or "pain mix ture." First comes a feeling of drowsi ness. then sleep, then collapse and death. If permanganate of potassium is at hand, a very weak solution—one grain to the half pint of water—should be given to the patient to drink. Strong coffee should be given frequently. The caffeine neutralizes the morphine. The permanganate will neutralize any mor phine still unabsorbed in the stomach; but since absorption usually takes place very rapidly, this remedy is not very effective. The important thing Is to keep the patient awake until medical aid arrives. This is done by walking him up and down the room, by beating his calves or the soles of his feet or by rubbing his ears. Hold ammonia to his nose. His protests and the pain thereof must be disregarded. Imme dfate vomiting, of course, is desir able. CHLORAL—Chloral hydrate is the principal ingredient of "knock-out drops." Like opium, it produces drowsi ness and a deep sleep, followed by a sudden stoppage of the heart and then death. Opium causes the pupils of the patient's eyes to contract, but chloral does not. This is the best way to dif ferentiate between the two. when there is doubt as to the cause of the patient's condition. Practically nothing can be done by the layman to relieve the pa tient. It is best to hurry him to a hospital, without wasting any time in PHENACETIN.—This is a coal-tar product, and. like antipyrin and aceta nelh^, is a frequent constituent of head ache powders and neuralgia "cures." In large or repeated doses it has a tendency to cause heart failure and collapse. The best ready antidote for an overdose is whiskey. If a dose of "headache powder" is followed by weakness and pallor or by difficulty in breathing, it is well to take a wine glass of whiskey and send for a doctor at once. PHOSPHORUS —This is a constituent of several popular rat poisons and is also used In the manufacture of matches. Children often ingest it by sucking match heads. It causes sore ness in the mouth and vomiting. The things expelled from the stomach have a faint, garlicky odor and are slightly luminous—phosphorescent—in the dark. The more dangerous later effects of phosphoros poisoning appear but slow ly, and there is usually plenty of time to summon a physician. Un til he appears, it is well to encour age the vomiting—or start it, if it has not hegun—by the use of the common emetics—warm mustard, salt water, ipecac, etc. ARSENIC.—This is frequently taken by mistake or as an overdose. It causes disagreeable sensations in the throat, a difficulty in swallowing, dizziness, head ache and sometimes vomiting. The best remedy is a tablespoonful of "dialyzed Iron," which may be obtained at any drugstore. The dose shouldberepeat ed every half hour until there is relief. Then a dose of some handy purgative should be administered. Arsenic is the active poison in green wall paper and Paris green. STRYCHNINE.—Beyond administer ing an emetic at once, the layman can do little to combat this exceedingly dangerous poison. It Is best to take the patient to a hospital, where all needful drugs and apparatus are at hand. COCAINE.—This poison is frequently taken as a matter or habit. tike mor phine. It capscs a fleeting feeling of gaiety and exaltation, followed by de pression, drowsiness and a sense of swooning. In the case of a fata! dose, death follows convulsions and coliapse. The patient must be put to beds Ad minister a wineglass of whiskey and summon medical aid at once. POTASH.—Caustic potash, washing soda, spirits of ammonia and other strong alkalis in common use in the household are frequently swallowed by mistake or with suicidal intent. Very efHcient antidotes are iemon juice and diluted vinegar. When an alkali has been taken in a concentrated form the throat is usually burned very badly. The treatment of this, of course, re quires professional skiil. OXALIC ACID.—This is often swai lowed by mistake for Epsom salts. It produces pains in the throat and mouth, vomiting and spasms. Lim6 water, baking soda, magnesia, chalk and milk are all good antidotes. Vomiting should be induced. Compared with other poisons, oxalic acid is not very danger ous. because a comparatively large dose is Required to do much damage EMETICS.—The best of all emetics for household use is Ipecac. A bottle of this. In solution, should be placed in the family medicine chest. In addi tion, the chest should contain a box of carbonate of soda (baking soda): one of "dyalyzed iron," and one of Epsom salts; a bottle of lemon juice, a bottle of whiskey or brandy, one of peroxide of hydrogen and one of a weak solution of permanganate of potassium.
