POLICE POINTERS.
The Days DOings of the Offenders of
the Law.

Joseph Carter was brought before
Justice Fishers yesterday to answer certain
allegations preferred against him by
William Neff. 1t appears that Neff looked
upon ~crimson-dyed coffin varnish until he
was doubtful of his own responsibility,
and while in that condition gave his
purse, which contained Sl5, to Carter.
Carter, in his defense, asserted that he, in
turn, gave the purse to a mutual friend,
but the latter cannot be found. The
Court continued the case until 10 O'Clock
this morning, and placed Carriers bonds
at 5000. The bonds were not deposited
and Carter was given over to the tender
mercies of Officer Sullivan.
Peter Kelly is an old-time moss back
who is habitually and pe%rennially drunk.
lie has been in the Police Courts so often
aud so regularity that he now considers
himself entitled to all of the courtesies
shown to regular customers, The Court
fined him $40 yesterday, and Peter paid
the bill with all of that POPULARITY and
nonchalence for which he is noted.
The man Frank Joslyn, who on Thurs
day night assaulted Mr.. West with a beer
bottle, was asked to explain. He COM
piled with the request, but did not sue
c%essfully comply with the necessary
formula which insures an acquittal. The
Court said sl3 would patch the rent in
the law which Joslyn had made, and the
hole was accordingly darned.

The origin OF the thermometer is%unknown.
As to the instrument as it now exists, Robert
Hooke suggested the use Of the freezing point,
HALEY the boiling point, and the substitution
of mercury for spirit, and Newton blood heat.
Fahrenheit, although Il German By birth,
was n protege OF James l, and died in Eng
land. Reamur's thermometer IN its final
form owes its origin to DeLuc, and, although
the ceutigrade thermometer is almost uni
versally attributed 10 Celsius, it was really

Bishop Matthew Simpson.

Matthew Simpson, who died in Phila-
delphia on Wednesday, June Is, was
born at Cadiz, o., June 20, 1911. At the
age Of Is he organized the first Sunday
school at Cadiz. He studied at Madison
(afterward Allegheny college. lie en-
tered the ministry in 1923, and SO marked
was his ability that the next year he was
appointed to one of the leading churches
In the onference-Liberty street, Pitts
burg.
Soon after he was elected professor In
Allegheny college, and later Vice Presi-
dent; and while occupying that position
was elected In 1889 to the Presidency of
the Indiana Asbury university at Green
castle, Indiana. In 1913 he was elected
editor Of the Western Christian Adyo-
cate, and In 1852 was elevated to the
Eplscopacy. He has several times Wis
tied Europe in the interest of his de-
nomination.
For many years Bishop Simpson stood
In the front rank Of pulpit orators. His
eioquence upon special occasions has
been so overpowering as to cause his
hearers to unconsoiously rise to their
feet and crowd close UP around him.
He was probably the most widely known
Methodist In the world.

A June IdYl,

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele telegraph.
Somnolent lies the pickle in its briny
bath, and In dreamy idleness the wad of
chewing gum lies on the window-sill.
Athwart the glinting sunbeams, in their
lonely search, the shivered corset-steel
intrudes its sinuous length, while in the
far off delly dells of the bosky woodland
oopse the curlpaper flutters In sad-eyed
edieness for the bangs 1t never will clasp.
A broken garter here, an undarned stock
ing there, few bent and scattered hair
pins-they are little things, but oh how
mutely, yet pathetically, they tell the
hungry heart that the sweet girl graduate
has fled, and Is now engaged In catching
beaux and freckles.
