4 Cool Proceeding.

During the trial of case before the
Justice Court, in Providence, recently.
when witness, North Providence
officer, was called he was not there.
Inquiry drew out the statement that he
was gone to get lunch. The court
waited some little time for his return.
and as he came in his honor called him
to account for his absence. He replied
that he had been out on business. The
court then fined him s. and costs for
contempt of court, saying that under
ordinary circumstances no notice would
he taken of such action, but he was an
officer and knew better. With a cool
ness inimitable, the officer took out a
well-tlled pocketbook, and saying that
he met man on the street who owed
him 800, and he went with him to the
bank and got it, he handed his honor
the required amount and coolly took
his place on the witness stand and
went on with his testimony as though
nothing had happened, though every
body IN the courtroom manifested a
deal Of agitation.

Relief for the Poor.

The plan adopted in Philadelphia for
the relief Of the poor is as follows: Each
ward forms Branch Relief Association
under control Of nm official board; the
precincts of the ward are divided into
"blocks," for each Of which is appoint
cd by the board committee Of two
gentlemen OF established character to
solicit donations Of money, goods, cast.
on clothing, bedding, etc, and two
ladies', whose business it il TO visit
every house and examine strictly into
cases requiring relief. All donations
are sent to n central room or hall, and
receipts given 10 the contributors. No
order for relief is honorei unless
signed by one of the visiting committee.
All transactions of the association, so
far as they relate to delivery of relief,
must be regarded AZ strictly confden.
tial. The goods received are cut out
INTO suitable garments and given TO wo.
men out OF employment TO make up Mt
fair wages; afterward they are given
away, or sold at the price of the mate

Commenting on the above an exchange

take lesson of the Germans, who thor
oughly understand the workings of

A practice of the Friends recommends

Quarterly Meeting each member is re-

he is excluded from membership until

Suit for Wages.

A case of considerable importance to
manufacturers was recently heard in
the Common Pleas Court at Hartford
The Post gives the poinls as follows !:
"Suit was brought by two men against
Landers, Frary & Clark, of New Brit
ain, Conn, to recover wages due for
labor. The defense claimed that suit
was commenced before the regular paw
day, and that the men had left the en-
ploy of the company without giving
four weeks notice, as its rules require.
Both of these points were admitted, but
in answer it was said that the company
made a small deduction on the price
previously agreed upon, and that the
company, by denying all liability on
the ground that what would otherwise
be due to the men was forfeited bv
their leaving without notice, waived
their right to insist upon the mems
waiting until the regular payday be-
fore obtaining wages or bringing suit.
Judge Stoddard then holding COURT
found that a reduction in the price
agreed upon by the company made a
new contract, and the men could not be
compelled to remain four weeks under
the circumstances. He also held that
the denial of any liability on the part
of the company gave the plaintiffs the
right to sue at once. The defense have
carried the case to the Supreme
Court"

The Cuban Question.

The New York Times, which profess
es to speak by authority, says the U. s.
Government is devoting itself with en-
ergy to the investigation of the Virgin
ius affair from beginning to end, and
Will, it is hoped, be able to lay before
Congress, at its opening, all the facts
necessary to determine the action of
that body. In this the Government is
performing its obvious duty, and taking
the only path now open to it. While
there are certain well-known principles
Of international law which it is the part
of the Executive to appeal to, and Ger.
tain rights of American citizens which
must be promptly asserted, the proper
measures of re1ress in case of violation
must originate with Congress. That
the President VIII have recommends
tons to submit to that body which will
be worthy of his position, and of the
honor and dignity of the country, there
need be no fear. Meanwhile the case
will assume a different phase if, as re-
ported, the seizure turns ont to have
been made in English waters.

American Ladies.

Mr.. Fulton, of the Baltimore Amert.
can, writes: How do the Vienna
ladies dress =? Well, the ladies of vi.
emma wear no bustles, and we may as
well speak plainly and add that it is
because most of them need none. In
all other respects they follow the same
fashions that the ladies of America
adopt. Their dresses and overskirts
have all the folds, frills, pleats, points,
ruflles, laces and trimmings that are to
be found in Paris, and their skirts drag
in the dirt of the pavements just as
those OF the rest of the civilized nations.
The only difference that we have OBJ
served in this respect is that they wear
all their understands with trails also,
and when the pavements are wet and
dirty, they let them draw much more
recklessly than the ladies of Baltimore.
They seldom raise them to avoid pud-
die, but move on as unconcerned as if
their skirts were trailing over velvet

Opinion of an Old Sea Dog.

Admiral Porter has been giving his
views on the Cuban question. We
quote:
"If our flag" said he, "doesn't pro.
tect the deck it waves over, we had bet
ter haul it in" "After all, said he,
our guns are more respected than our
flag, and If disposition to use them a
little more was shown it might be bet
ter for the flag" Spain is now crippled
and weak, and is therefore to be pitied, 1"
said he, "and it wouldn't BE- credtable
to us to force war upon her, but the
principle for which, under circum-
stances infinitely more hazardous, we
won't to war in 1919 nust be maintain
ed. SPAN, moreover, is now republic
can, and President CASTELAR, is our
friend, from whom we may expect
vigorous effort toward ample repara-
ton. The Admiral furthermore thinks
that the Home Government of Spain
will be terribly shocked by this news
from Cuba. He expressed himself as
well satisfied that our Government will
exhaust every measure proper in the
case, and felt that n proper degree of
diplomatic courtesy should and would
be observed in the case, whatever the
ultimate designs of The Washington au-
thorities may be. "A proper showing
OF politeness, said he. I" is always COM
mendable, even as preliminary to the
operation of knocking a man down."

The Protection of Game,

AT the first meeting of the New York
Association for the Protection of Game
for the season of 1874, the counsel
for the club made statement of the
prosecutions which had been commenced
since the nth of March last, showing
that twenty-seven suits had been insti-
tuted at cost of about five hundred
dollars, all of which had been decided
except two or three. and those that had
been decided were in favor of the assoc
cation. The association had stopped
the sale of game ont of season in New
York, but the sportsmen of Long Island,
pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut,
and the far West had not made tie
slightest effort to prevent the wholesale
destruction of game. The club had
done great deal of good in instructing
the people as to when the different
kinds of game were and were not in
season, and it seemed as if they ought
to get some little assistance from the
country climbs

Cuba from the Pulpit.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in n ser
mon, said of the Virginius matter
"There is no question of the horrible
nature of the outrage. Had it been
done in ne heat of battle it would have
been horrible, but it was coolly, de-
liberately Infamous. 1t was brute love
for blood. 1t is ms bad thing as has
happened in my day If such things
are to be permitted, then the devil is
stronger on earth than Christ"
Mr.. Beecher added; deeply as /
sympathize with this cause, and have
had my heart in it since its inception,
still do not think that our Government
should be driven into action by the dis
organized elamor Of the people. 1t is
bound to act with respect to the rela-
tons OF this country with every other
country. 1t should decree such wise
things that it shall be considered n
leader among nations. We must not
seek the qualification of moments
anger. Spain has been the victor and
the victim OF ages. 1t is land full of
noble influences and of debasing pas
sions. This great nation is now herself
seeking to rise. If, now, we can punish
the monsters of Cuba in such way as
to strengthen the hands of the republi-
cans in Spain, let us do it. But if we
find tn t our flag has been insulted in
Cuba, and the responsible Spanish Gov
eminent cannot or will not put n stop
to such abomination, then let the hand
of justice fall. Let it so fall as TO give
safety, knowledge, and freedom to the
long suffering island but let it not be
in passion, nor in the mad riot of an
excited people. Whatever is done, let
it be done with deliberation, and with
ont cruelty. May it be for America to
quench the fires of war, not to kindle
them. If God has put into Columbia's
hand the bitter medicine for the nations,
may it not be administered with wrath,
fury, and revenge"

Thus, with nearly three times as
many officers of all grades, and nearly
five times as many men, the English
force costs only fifty per cent. more
than our own.
Whenever comparisons are made be-
tween the excessive proportionate cost
OF our navy above that of England, the
answer invariably is that it results in
great measure from the low wages paid
to seamon and others making up the
naval force, and yet these official figures
show that if the English force were re-
duced to the numerical basis of our
own it would only account for about
four millions of the difference between
the cost of their navy and our own
