Cruelty to a Reporter

City Editor reading-ssThe night had
draped its folds around the dark and
steely waters; the lights of the distant
city glimmered on the brink; naught
was heard save the churning Of the pad
dies as the ferryboat Fulton plowed
her way across the dark and threaten
ing tide. There were but few passen-
gers, wearied men returning to their
well-worn rest hollow-eyed girls, ex-
hausted with their daily toll in the close
and fetted rooms Of some city Workshop.
One figure only was seen to move rest
lessly to and fro, his hat drawn firmly
down over his wild and hopeless eyes.
Suddenly he darted from the cabin,
gave one last look on sea and sky.
There was plunge, and all was STILL"
City Editor: Jim, this is all very
fine, but it's not the way we do it on
this paper. Just say, "Last evening,
as the Fulton was making her 9 O'Clock
trip, man apparently about 40 years
of age, jumped from her deck into the
river. He was fished out by Deck

Silver Wedding,

Our readers will remember Rev
George b. Allen, who was Rector of the
Episcopal Church in this city some
years ago. He is now located at Peta-
luna, Cal. On New Years eve he and
wife celebrated their silver wedding.
We take an account of the same pub
lished in the Petaiuma Argts of the
9th instant:
The largest and one of the most de
lishtful social gatherings of the season
was the celebration of the Silver We'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. George B. Allen,
at st. Johns Rcctory, on New Years
eve. The double pariors were tasteful
ly decorated for the occasion beauti-
1ul floral cross occupied a place above
the mantle, while evergreens adorned
the walls, and mirrors, pictures and
chandeliers were entwined with grace
ful ivy. Conspicuous in the back ground
were the figures "1S57 and 1892
wrought with artistic taste i'm flowers
and evergreens. AT 1880 the guests
began to arrive, and by O'Clock every
room on the first floor was filled to ii.
fullest standing capacity, and many had
to ascend the " golden stair" in order to
be accommodated. At $50 the ceremony
OF re-uniting the honOred pair was per-
formed by DIR. r. G. Jones. Mrs. p.
Barton and Mrs. J. F. Newell-Mrs |
Aliens bridesmaids of twenty-five
years ago-were bride maids on this &C.
casiOn. The shower of congratulations |
over, Prof. c. E. Hutton followed in a
most appropriate presentation speech on
behalf of many donors of beautiful silver
ware. Choice selections of music were
given during the evening by J. p.
Rodgers, Mrs. II. P. Brainerd, Mrs. j.
s. Van Doren, Miss Lulu Hopkins, Miss
M. Van Doren and DR.. Perkins. Later
on in the evening the choicest of viands
were served and call " i'm truth, went
merry as marriage bell" until 1881
was almost merged into 1882. The af-
fair was one of those cheerful surprises
long to be remembered by the recip-
tents and the participants.

TT e Deg in the Bible

You will search in vain through Hol,
Writ for any praises Of this mucF, be-
lauded animal. 1t is only in the apec-
ryphal book of Tobit, the stupid ar
superstitious book of mans devisine
which some have thought to fo;st into
the Old Testament, that this detestable
beast appears in his modern character
as the friend and companion of man.
That the majority Of Gideon's raw re-
cruits Tapped the water GAS deg
lappeth" was reason enough for dis
missing them from conflict which was
for all time to symbolic the victory of
| human civilization over british barbar-
| ism. "Is thy servant dog that he
should do this thing % are the strongest
words which the Syrian Hazael can find
to express his horror of the base and
treacherous act Elisha predicted Of him.
"a living dog is better than dead
lion,' is one Of the bitter speeches by
which the hero Of Ecclesiastes indi-
Gates to us how deeply he had sunk into
doubt and disbelief Of all things nobl.
and excellent. "Give not that which
is holy unto dogs" is the warning that
marks forever the sunderence between
this unclean animal and human kind.
.'Without are dogs" is ore of the points
in the description Of that holy city into |
which nothing that detiles can enter. |
In the thirtyeight references which |
the bible makes to this unclean animal. |
there is not one which is not disparag-
ing, one Of the very worst being the
solitary one which is sometimes alleged
As favorable to him, "Mcreover the
logs came and licked his Sores" is
sometimes interpreted as if it were in
ended to contrast their pity of Lazarus
with the rich mans hardness. But, as
he English "noreover' and the Greek
equivalent indicate, the sense is exactly
he contrary of this. 1t is meant as one
more detail of the misery and degreda-
ion to which the poor man had been ;
by his kind, one more of the :
vii things in his life which made up
is lot, that he was exposed TO this an
oyance and, perhaps, pain from these
lthy and degraded beasts. !;

Wonderful Longe witty OF Our Widow S
The widows Of the soldiers and sailor:
/ Of the war of 1912 are, fortunately fol
themselves and unfortunately for the
public treasury, blessed with marve-
lous health and strength. According to
the latest official reports from Washing
ton, 10000 Of these interesting ladies
present themselves every three months
| before the accredited agents of the
government and draw their pensions
with precision that shows high con-
dition of financial discipline. Their
ages Individually or collectively, no
one of course will be SO ungallant as
even to hint at, but the date of the last
war with Great Britain is pretty we'll
back in the century. In the darkness
and uncertainty that envelop the Pen
sion Office at Washing ton, regarding
the possible claims against the govern
ment arising out Of the late wsr, the
roll Of the relicts of the heroes of that
patriotic epoch in our history may af-
ford some light and instruction. The
total number of killed and wounded in !
1Sl2-l5 campaigns was a little more !
than 5000. At the end Of nearly sew
enty years the pension list of the
widows alone outnunbers tnat of the
by five to one. II the widows
of the veterans Of the rebellion stand by

The Recent Solar Eclipse.

Cable advices from Soham, in Egypt,
are TO the effect that the party of En-
glish, French and Italian astronomers
have had good success in making their
observations upon the solar eclipse. A
fine comet was discovered close to the
sun, aud It's position photographically
determined. just before the period of
total eclipse the spcctrOscOpe gave some
surprising and valuable results, indica-
ting lunar atmosphere, Hitherto the
moon has been supposed to be without
an atmosphere Of any kind. If 1t had
an atmosphere of II fraction Of the dem
sity OF that of the earth, the light from
n star in passing through it would be
bent 10 one side. No such phenomenon
has been observed. The eallh's ntmos-
pherC refracts ray Of light under SINH
lar circumstances through an angle OF
I 200 seconds, while the retroactive pow
cr Of the moons atmosphere, It II has

fore, by the French spectroscOpst Of Il
darkcning Of the lines Of the spectrum
of rays Of the sun passing withil II short
distance of the moon is Of great impOr-
