Fire COmmissioner Seeks Safety in

One OF the Fire Commissioners of Jersey City has
been missing nom that municipality since Satur-
day night, and, from information received by many
OF his friends yesterday, he is now beyond the
jurisdiction OF the terrible little State of New
Jersey, and he does not intend TO return
soon. II was expected that the Fire Commission
ers would be called up for trial yesterday morning
put DstrlctAttorhey Garretso IS not yet ready to
proceed with the case. The Court Of Quarter Ses-
sions Is almost overburdened with business of the
ordinary criminal character. Independent of this
consideration, there are many kDOtty legal prob
lens involved In the cases of the Com
missioners which prompt the Dlstrct-Attorney
to be cautious In bringing forward such cases till
the next term OF the oyer and Terminer. Judge
Bedle has had his hands so full during the past six
months that his health nearly gave way, and yet
are no lever tnan eight libel suits against local
journals to be tried, and these, too, will probably
be carried over 10 the next term of the Over SO
that Judge Bedle may preside.

snow has prevailed over the southern states;
cloudy weather with occasional snow from the

in giving the magnetic telegraph to the world.
is being pushed, it is conceded by the proper
authorities that to Prof. Joseph Henry, OF the
Smithsonian Institution, belongs the first honor.
This fact is attested by two of Professor Morse's
Partners in the origin and ownership OF tele-
graphic patents, one OF whom, Francis o. j.
Smith, furnished the early pecuniary means to
sustain Prof. MOrses efforts; and the other
Prof. Leonard ID. Gale, who first gave practical
vitality to MOrse's machine by applying to it a
PORTION of the electrO-Ea ghetto discorsriss of
fTof. Joseph Henry, a. these discoveries were
published years before in Silliman's and other
scientific jOurnals-discoveries which form the
basis OF ali electro magnetic telegraphs on long
lines throughout the world.
Prof. Henry has been too modest to advance
his claim to the leading place, but it is now fully
accorded TO him by those who should know. and
enc of them-Frsncis o. i. Smith-declares
that to place the statue OF any man above
that Of Prof. Henry. in symbOlizing the history
OF the electro magnetic telegraph, would be 20
reverse the order Of nature as much as if the
apex Of monumental Shaft were inverted TO
rest or its pedestal. II would be, in fact, more
symbOlical of the misdirected judgment of its
promoters, than Of enduring honor to their sub
ject. Prof. Morse cannot justly claim, nor will
authentic history sustain such pre-eminence for
himself" 1t is curiOusly refreshing in these
days, WHIT N every man acts on the principle that
lie "that blOweth not his own horn the same
s.Isll not be bowed" TO see an act OF voluntary
irStice Of this sort done. towards a quiet, unss
sGming man of science like Prof. Henry.

Gen. William b. Hazen writes Mr.. Henry
Bergh from Fort Hays, Kansas, protesting
against the wantOn slaughter of the wild blu ffalo
on the plains, and earnestly requesting him to
bring the subject before Congress with the in
tention Of having such steps taken as will pre.
vent this waste both of the lives of noble and
harmless animals and the valuable food they
furnish Gen. II. says the introduction OF rail-
roads into and across the plains has made tn,
vast herds accessible to all classes of people. and
that every year vast numbers are killed for So
called sport, and a great number by hunters
simply for their hides, which net about one dol
Tar each. The caEeasses are left to rot on the
plains.
Without viewing the matter in a humani-
tartan light there l. much sense in Gen. Hazen's
protest Still we do not see how Congress can
very well remedy the evil complained of, since
u would be next to impossible to enforce any en-
actmsnt looking to the preservation of what
every sportsman on the plains will ALWAYS re-
gard a. his legitimate prey.

born to each thousand women between the ages

children born to the number of women mem
toned now as there were in the year 1900 DIR.

The Pennsylvania state senate has appointed
committee to examine into all the facts con-
nected with the issue and sale of medical di-
Pomas to persons not qualified to practice a.
physicians, and who have never received a
medical education. Some of the bogus institu-
tons ofthis Kind in Philadelphia were shown up
last summer, and legislative scrutiny will not be
exercised moment too soon. Philadelphians
are wont to arTOgate to themselves a modest
amount OF virtue and morality; but the Quaker
city viii never bear of the palm until she wipes
out these quaek-spawning medical" institu-
tons.
