TESTING THE SUPERINTENDEN7'S POTTER.

TESTING THE SUPERINTENDEN1'S POTTER.
Since superintendent Murray assumed con-
troll of the police force there has been a Office
able improvement in its management. This
has been in some degree due to the support
which he has received from the Police Board,
and to his freedom from outside interference.
If allowed to continue in the course he has be-
gun the lawbreakers will find New York an I'M
comfortable place to live in. Perhaps the best
possible test of the Superintendent power.will
be his announced purpose to enforce the law
against the sale of liquor on Sundays.
There have been spasmodic attempts in that
direction at various times in the past; but they
were of short duration, and for that reason
little was accomplished. The most open vio-
lators Of the law, the proprietOrs of hotel bar
rooms, were seldom molested. Their influence
with the Aldermen and with other politicians,
probably, had something to do with their free
dom from arrest. But Superintendent Murray
has made q beginning by causing the arrest Of

The IMPRESSIVE memorial service to General
Grant which has been arranged for Tuesday
in Westminster Abbey, promises to be worthy
EXPRESSION of the regard In which he was held
in England. General Wolseley, who is to be
present among other distinguished officers. has
taken this opportunity to correct his previous
utterances which dsparaged the military ability
of General Grant. In a letter to the committee
he now pays warm tribute of respect to the
dead hero. speaking of him as lone OF the
greatest soldiers of our time" and as lone OF
the most brilliant leaders of men," While
coming rather late it yet speaks well for the
present good sense of General WOlseley.
Governor Hill has probably heard later adj
vices from Washington, as unusual activity Is
reported from the headquarters in his law
Office in Elmira. With the Administration
quietly helping Cooper and encouraging Flower
in the hope of defeating the nomination OF the
Governor, he naturally urges his lieutenants to
greater exertions. Their activity in securing
the State ought to count something even
against Administration influences. In making
promises the Governor cannot be exceeded
even by Secretary Manning, and he has the
advantage of being an open candidate. while
the principal opposition to him is managed
under cover of alleged friendship. Under such
circumstances it is not matter for surprise
that Democrats generally sympathize with
Hill. But the power of the patronage at WASH
ingtOn is not to be despised.

Daniel Webster's Fees.
From the Worchester Spy.

From the Worchester Spy.
III view Of the protracted trial if our
superior court recently, it Is Of interest
to note the fees which Daniel Webster
received for his services. For many
years he kept regular account of his
professional receipts, and for two of
those years the accounts have been pub
lished. In the first of the two, when
he was about 81 years of age, his re-
ceipts. emitting several small affairs"
amounted to $15,1S1. The number OF
items, mostly against different clients,
was 1879; The largest charge was g.
900. There were "a retainers in the
year, amounting in the aggregate to
81, $40. The largest was retainer in
patent causes" of $50; but most of the
retainers were of 800 and $50. The
second published account covered the
years 1928, when Webster was 80
years old. The amount of receipts for
this year was So, 212, but out of this is
to be deducted 1895 as congressional
pay" This leaves for his professional
receipts 1920: The largest fee this
year was $500: There were only "A
items, and of these Is were retainers,
amounting to $3.50. One of them
was 500 for CDR. Motifs patent causes"

From the London Times;
A correspondent writes to us from

morning an old man in his ninety sew
enth year, named John Hubbard, whose
biography may be interesting to many
of our readers. At the age of % he was
working on farm at Yexham, Market
Dereham, Norfolk, when he received the
sum of IS guineas for enlisting in the
West Norfolk militia. Twoyears after
ward he enlisted in the Twentv-third
Royal Welsh Fusilers for seven years,
and was shipped for the Peninsula,
where he landed at Passay. A few days
after landing the regiment was paraded
to supply 100 volunteers for the forlorn
hope at tho storming of st. Sebastian.
Aug, 81, 1913. Hubbard was one OF
the 100, and he had the good fortune to
escape unhurt. After being sent to
England as one of the guard in charge
of prisoners he returned to the PENN
sula, where lie found his regiment in
the Pyrenees. He took part in the bat
ties there, and was also engaged at Or
thes, Toulouse, and Waterloo. AS he
was only seven-year man and was
never wounded he had no pension until
the royal warrant of March II, 1874, en-.
titled him to Is. Sd. a day."

That was queer anti-tobacco law
which the General Court of Connecticut
passed in May, 1647. 1t was ordered
that NO man, under twenty-one andno
man over, who was not accustomed to
the use of tobacco, should take any
until he had a certificate "under the
hand of some who are approved for
knowledge and skill in physic," that it
was useful for him, land also that he
hath received license for the same"
No man was to take tobacco in the

when on a journey of more than ten
miles, or more than once day, and
then not in company with any one.
