Insolence and Negligence OF Employees
and Delays in Sending Messages.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The narrative OF facts which send you relates to
a grievance which, though painfully familiar to
Geographic correspondents, is fast becoming in
tolerably oppressive. On Thursday last it unfor-
tunately befell that infant son, travelling hither
from Buffalo with relatives, was seized shortly
after starting the train with an illness so sud-
den and alarming as % compel the stoppage of the
party at Rochester for medical attention. From
thence an urgent message was, at ten O'Clock A..
NJ, despatched over the wires Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company to the mother in this
city, advising her of the critical condition Of her
child and summOning her at once to his side. This
message, although evidently OF vital Importance
would have sufllced, was not delivered until half
past four O'Clock In the afternoOn-nearly seven
hours alter 1t had been sent-tOo late to permit Of
her taxing the five O'Clock p NJ. train AS a result
OF this culpable delay ten hours of tOrturing sus-
pense were needessly imposed upon us.
At five p. NJ, in order to relieve the mothers
condition OF the little One TO this no reply had
been received at eight O'Clock when she departed
from the city. On Saturday evening, the child
being yet critically i'll. l telegraphed at seven
O'Clock from the Central ONCE, corner Of Broad
with the intention Of taking, II necessary, the
eleven O'Clock train that night for the North. To the
general receiver at this Ofnce-Whose exacting
duties have LETT him no time, 1t would appear, for
the study OF the obligations OF civility-I ex-
planned SO far as his brusque and repellant man.
ner would permit me to explain, the urgent and
anxious necessities OF the case, and solicited such
special attention to the message as would eXpe-
dite reply. The EFFORT proved but waste Of
time. The reply reached as in the ordinary way at
eleven O'clock too late for the train. 1t is quite
evident that either the business of the Western
Union exceeds its facilities lin which case public
convenience would be greatly promoted by CON-
peting lines). or else its operating officials are
guilty OF gross and habtua neglect G.

Hon. Timothy @. Howe.
His Life and Pulic Services.
I From the State Journal. !

The reelection, for the third term,
of Senator Timothy .. Howe, by the
unanimous vote of the members Of his
own party, in the Legislature, and
without even the formality Of caucus
nomination, is an event of an unusual
character in these times of party
strifes, and of individual ambition !;
and is an indication Of the strong hold
our honored Senator has, upon the af-
fection of the people of this State.
And this indication is strengthened by
the fact, that this is the second re-elec-
tion of the same man to this high
Office, in the same complimentary man
ner. Such striking events are so un-
common in this country at the present
day, that we deem brief notice of the
career of this distinguished Senator,
proper at this time.
Timothy O. Howe was born in
Maine in February 1916 He receiv-
ed a good education, studied law, and
was admitted to practice at the bar in
that State in 1899. He took high
rank as lawyer from the start, and
gave early promise of future emin-
ence in the world. In lo45, be was

CHANGES IN JAPAN-The very Ia
test news from Japan mentions an I'M
perial order, by which the most
startling changes are made The cal
ander is to be harmonized with ours.
The new year was to commence with
January, 1873, the !, 533l year since
the accession of the first Mikado.
Every seventh day, instead Of every
fifth is to be a holiday, and the days
are to be divided into twenty-four
hours, instead Of twelve periods Of two
hours each. Our Christmas Day is to
be held sacred to the memory of the
first Emperor. Officials must wear the
European costumes, and the Emperor
will have guests at dinner on alternate
days More stringent marriage laws
arc TO be introduced The japanese
Parliament is finally organized, and an
order Of honor is prescribed for those
who serve their country in war or
peace. 4 variety Of sumptuary rcgu-
lations is also promulgated \ special
attack is made on loafers and the lazy,
and the house mats on which daytime
"naps" have been taking are done
away with. The men must shave their
top-knots, and wear their hair after
the European plan, and the women are
to have no hair-drcssers.

Nor is it coming to Ged by him to
say, Il believe in Jesus, and shall try
to do right, but I don't expect to get
rid Of sin, of selishness and wrong
doing, but / trust his righteousness
will be set to my account, and God
will take me for his sake.
No! his righteousness will not be
set to your account, nor will God take
you for his sake-that is, you being still
unrighteous. and not worth saving for
your omn sake.
To come to God by him, is, finding
God in him, to commit yourself as his
disciple to learn his ways and walk in
them. This will bring you to God in
deed it will bring you to be loving as
he is loving, pure asfhe = pure, true

be in perfect sympathy with him; it
will bring you to Gods peace snd JOY,
