Major Williams, Of Georgia.

major Williams, quite recently
from Georgia, sab, was how an in
dignant colored gentleman described
himself when brought up to plead in
the Tombs police court. The com
plant was the driver of Blocker
street car, who charged the major"
with acting very disorderly when re-
quested to pay his fare. The driver
SAID he told the Major" to put his
money in the box, AID when he tried
to make him the Major resisted so
strenuously that 1T was necessary to
call policeman. The Major said

cant fact that a good many people
connected with that case have since
been the victims of misfortune Cork

office and is looking for something to

We are sorry to say that the asser-
vstions of innocence 40 aften made by
prisoners aud persisted in TO the very
scaffold, do not mako as much i'm
sression on the legal or judicial mind
as they do in the minds of the popu-
lace. The natural impulse OF tho in
experienced and unsuspecting mind is
TO believe all that is told TO it, But ex-
perience in connection with human
testimony shows that it is very prone
to be falhble. The lawyers ex perience
renders his habits OF doubling and
questioning all statements a secoad
nature to him. An enInent judge once
declared that he had never known an
assertion made by convicted prisoner
TO prove to be the truth. This is very
extreme statement and not borne out
by facts.

DECEPTIVE THERMOMETERS.


A wide discrepancy has often been noticed
between the temperature as recorded by the
signal service and that shown by instruments
IN various portions of the city, Tho cause of
the difference is thattho signal service instru.
meuj are about sixty feet above the ground
while private thermometers are only four or
FIVE fcot As the atmosphere is warmed in
three ways-by direct rays Of the sun, by re-
ilected heat, and by radiatod hcat--thc lnstru-
mentS nearest the ground are more affected by
these three causes than those some distance
above. The instruments nj an elevation, pro-
yidod they are protected from the direct rays Of
the sun, aS by shelter, will record only the
temperature of air brought IN contact with
them. The signal service has cndeavorcd to
place Its thermometers In u stratum of air
freed rs far as possible from radlated and re-
flcctcd heat so that instruments Will show the
temperature OF that stratum Of air which is
warmed by the direct rays of the sun
As a rule, thermometers are liable to read
too high-that Is with the ordinary kind
lnanumcturcd-and u person possessing an in
strumcnt should carefully compare 1t with
some standard that It's errors may be deter
mined The only way by which person can
determine the temperature TO which he is ex-
posed would be to always carry with him
small thermometer. Temperature is always
different in different localities.

FIGHTING FOREIGN LABOR.



The committee of seven appointed at tic
mass meeting held Tuesday under the auspices
Of the Federation Of Labor unions to protest
against the employment of Italian laborcrs on
the public work waited on the district com
inissioners Saturday. They presented mo.
mortal In which they say:
I'VE have asCertained that contractors on
| the Boundary sewer and the aqueduCt have i'm
! ported into the district large number of chenp
foreign laborers, aud that they have established
| camps, opened supply stores and made other
/ arrangements indicating an intention to extend
! and permanently establish the system of EN-
| ploying alien paupcrso on the public works. This
city has already hundreds of luborrrs out of
work. Every importation of alien aborers in
crcascs the number of our idle and INDECENT
citzcns. These displaced men and their fam
i,les wiz iall wholly upon the taxpayers aud
the benevolent for their support. The loss to
our merchants will be great through the dis.
placement of our laborcrs aud the competition
oil the contractors stores. We snail have
among us cheap, sCrvile, dangerous class of
| foreigners. The increase of crime and dis.
order which accompany enforced idlcncss aud
poverty Will neccSsitate extra police expenses.
| other evils of imported labor have been so
| widely and sorcly felt in other parts OF the
country that we need not cnumerate them
here for your enlightenment"
Amer recountng the evils of such system
both TO the business men of the district and
the poor laborers the memurialiSts call upon
| the commissioners to exert their power to
prevent the further employment of the "scr.
vile foreigners" on the public works. The
method in Which this may be accomplished
is set forth at length as n suggestion to tho
commissioners They are asked to exert their
official and moral influence with the con
tractors, who ure to be refused further work
in case they refuse TO exclude laborers who
are not American citizens from work. "Thc
| legal right of the commissioners to do all we
| have suggested" continues the memorial
''cannOt be mpcnchCd II their will equals
their power We shall not need to renew our
petition"
'ln conclusion, VIC assert our firm convc-
ton that the commissioners are legally bound
to give full operation to the provisions of the
eight hour law, and request that this be done
Furthermore, we here place ourselves on
record as opposed to the false economy of the
commissioners, which leads them to pay n
rate OF wages entirely inadequate to the decent
maintenance of labOring mans family.
Trusting the commissioners will not abdicaic
their offices by denial of their power to net,
nor doprcciatc their standing by denial of
their official and moral influence, nor impugn
their humanity and sense of Justice by u re-
filsal to act for the benefit of the people over
whom fortune has given them dominion, we
submit the cause of our tCllow-citizcns for your
action. Please inform us, at an carly date, of
your purpose in the premises"

In the equity cause of the United States
against Henry W. lIowgate Justice James
made an order last Saturday setting aside the
sale of the property at the northeast corner of
Fourteenth and | streets northwest. Capt.
5000 from the Louise Home fund, gave his
note for the same, secured by deed of trust ON
this property. The note Was not paid, and
Hler advertisement the trustees sold the
property to Arthur NGttans for $500. The
government now claims that the property was
not as well advertised as IL should have been,
and that the price was inadequate to the value.
Justice james said that in setting aside the
sale another trouble arose, and that was to get
the property back under the control of the
trustees. District Attorney Worthington said
they would amend their petition 50 rs TO ask
that tho deed be cancced and for general re-
lief The chancellor took the matter under
