Meaning of Infamous.

At well known resort in this city
where young men often congregate in the
evenings, the trial of Mackin and Gala
CHER, the alleged ballot box suffers, of
Chicago. was being talked of, when
dispute arose as to the meaning of "infa-
NOUS" As is we'll known, it is on the
ground of the crime of which Mackin and
Gallagher are accused being infamous"
that they have hopes for still escaping
the prison pen. An ARGUS reporter was
spoken to about the meaning of the word
referred to, and the scribe after looking
the matter up has found this to be the
definition: There has been, ever since
the establishment of a judiciary system in
this country, doubt as to the meaning
of the word Infamous" in the first clause
OF article V, of the amendments to the
constitution: mo person shall be held
to answer for capital or otherwise infa>
nous crime unless on a presentment or
Indictment of grand jury" Recently an
opinion was given by the supreme court
on this point. which, stripped of its ex-
cessive and involved verbiage, seemed to
decide that an infamous crime was one
punished by imprisonment. A Judge re-
Gently gave his personal opinion from the
bench that it was not the intention of the
justices to define as infamous infractions
of the law those offenses which are pun
ished by fines and short terms of impris
onment. His idea was, those crimes were
infamous that might be classed in com
mon law as felonies, or the punishment
for which is the same as thatEprescribed
for felonies. 1t was deemed unjust to put
upon man who has simply disobeyed a
law through neglect and carelessness the
odium of the classification of his offense
with infamous crimes. though his punish
ment might be Imprisonment

Dynamite,

Is there no way of putting a stop to
this dynamite business? New troubles
arise every day, bit the people don't seem
to heed the warning they receive. The
latest explosion is one that may happen
in any household where there are crawl>
ing baby, an impatient mother and an
experimenting father. 1t occurred in this
way: The father dropped a little dyna|
mite on the carpet, the baby slid over it,
the mother spanked the baby. Father,
mother and baby,-all gone. Such les
sons should give wholesome instruction,
but they don't seem to do so.

Strength of the Swiss Army.

According to the officially published
state of the Swiss army, it consisted on
April Is, 1885, of AT commissioned
officers, of whom 81 belonged to the
general staff, II t the railway division,
and 1855 to the infantry. Commanders
of battalions, of whom there are some
200, receive their appointments from the
cantons with whose ~contingents they re-
spectively serve. The cavalry is COM
manded by % officers, the artillery by
11S, the sanitary corps by ID, the engi-
neer corps by 81, while to the veter-
mary service are assigned 9, to
the administration 55, and justice
is done by a staff of 16. The high
est rank recognized in the Swiss army
during peace is that of Colonel. The
selection of a General to command the
military forces of the Confederation in
war is expressly reserved by the Consti-
tuition to the Federal Assembly. The
effective strength of the army at the be-
ginning of this year was 200, 754 men,
thus apportioncd: S!aff III, infantry,
16O, 149, cavalry 1928, artillery "a, 957,
engineers, 5,S25, sanitary service 2,370,
administration 1,10l. The remainder
are attached to the Staff Secretariat and
Department of Justice. The proportion
of superior officers in the infantry is one
to 1,030 men, in the cavalry one to 225,
in the artillery one to 211, engineers one
to 1877, sanitary corps n to 56, and adj
ministration one to 20.-Erchdnge.

Dangers from Which Engineers Save the
Public and Themselves.

OhukCIb III - NNo
Public and Themselves.
[The Railway Review.l
One who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he is dependent for safety upon the en-
gineer. Added to the responsibility of
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger of accidents caused by the
tricks of jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing of utterly mean tricks.
A Nickle Plate engineer after his very first
trip was laid of because he had "cut out"
all the bearings of his engine. He was re-
instated, however. after he proved that
some rival had filled his 0iling can toith
emery. Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the fdues of his
boiler. Through grief at the loss Of his
position he died, and then a conscience
oil in the tank so that it foameda and showed
water at the top gauge, when in reality
there was scarcely q quart in the boilerl
These intense jealousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident to their
work, have a terribly straining effect on
the nerve, and statistics tell US that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
strong and vigorous, they are not all a
healthy class. Ex-Chief Engineer A. s.

and other prominent members are also
emphatic in its praise.

headquarters are in Cleveland, O., where

A Of FIRE.
A Natural Wonder of IndescribabIe NJ
nificence.

nficence.
One of the wonders of the Pennsylva-
mia oil region is thus described by a lady
visitor: .'About four miles from Kit
tanning is a small stream called Cow
anshance Creek. 1t runs unchecked
and uncontrolled in an easy serpentine
way very pleasant to the eye, through
the most beautiful of uncultivated land.
Its clear waters reflect the weeping
willow and handsome swamp plants
that border it for miles and miles, like
unto nothing but a French plate mirror
rejecting a surrounding of foliage
plants. Near there an old-fashioned
foot-log' spans the creek. A party of
capitalists put down a test well for oil
eighteen years ago. Gas was struck in
stead, and not then knowing the use of
it, the rigging was removed and the
place deserted, leaving the lighted gas
master alone in its glory.
"'Fhe gas was of such force or pres
sure that it threw the salt water, which
has never been shut off, two hundred
feet up into the air together with its
weird flames, sprays falling again to the
earth and running on with a gurgle to
join the creek in it's 'on forever song.
The grass around in a circle is sere and
brown, the heat from the burning gas
intense, yet the water is ice cold. This
certainly is the finest and handsomest
natural fountain in the country. One
can not realize the effect of the scene
burning gas and crystal water in the air
until it is witnessed, as it is by many
who travel miles to look on this wonder.
1t is now said to be filed with debris,
which keeps it from rising above five
feet. An unsuccessful effort has been
made to have the owners get the well
cleaned out. If returned to its former
glory this fiery fountain could be ju-
diciously worked as one of the oil region
wonders. "-PItsburyh Dispatch.

One Term of Derisiln Which is Now the
Name of a Great Denomination.
Of sarcastic nicknames there are
scores of instances in history and biog-
raphy. The eminent Doctor Abernethy,
of London, wrote a book called ''Surgi-
cal Observations" and from his invari-
able habit of advising his patients to
read it, he became known as Doctor My
Book" Admiral Vernon, because of
his custom of wearing a "Grogram"
cloak in bad weather, was called "Old
Grog." 1t was this same Admiral YER
non, by the way, who instituted the us
tom of serving out a mixture of spirits
and water to the anne of the royal
navy, n beverage which they called
''grog," in memory of its originator.
T~alleyrand, the French statesman, who
was famed alike for his wit and his sar-
casm, was ut n time Bishop of Autun,
and his many enemies jocularly spoke
of him as 'sHis I%rrevcrent Reverence"
Lindley Murray, by a similar play on
words, was facetiously called the 'Un-
grammatical Grammarian."
In 1889, a few students in the old En-
gnSn university OF OX1Oru IOrIneu tnem-
selves into a club, pledged themselves to
a closer observance of college discipline
! than had prevailed before that time, and
afterward united in works of practical
piety and benevolence.
They were the objects of the unspar-
| ing ridicule of both students and tutors,
and we're dubbed in derision ''The Holy
| Club" sBible Moths" and ''Bible
Bigots." But what incensed their law
less fellow students most was thcirstrict
attention to the rules laid down by the
university authorities; and so, to express
their hatred and contempt, they called
them ss~1fethodtsts." This name stuck
and the Club proved to be the germ
of one of the greatest modern religion:
denominations.-H. f. Rcddau, IN ST

Twas shutdown of a summers day,
And in the ~twilight's shade
Stood Doris, by the farm gate
Doris, the pretty maid.
Her eyes were turned. those eyes so brown,
Toward the road that led to town.
Beneath her feet were daisies white,
And many o clover red,
And buttercups. with drops of dew
From heaven freshly shed;
While birds were singing at her side
Those quiet songs Of eventide.
And Prudence by the window sat
Her hair was silvr'y white,
Her eyes had each a wistful look,
That lovely summer night;
And, speaking from the window sill,
She said: Hell come. 1 know he will.
81 know, because a humble bee
Just in the window flew;
The rooster crowed here in the door
Those signs are Away true.
It's haying time and there's a sight
OF chores to do, you know. at night"
While Doris watched the road beyond,
Aunt Prudence looked behind;
The summers of the long ago
Once more she sought to find
And through the twllight's deep'nIng gray
She sighted them SO far away.
The sunshine of those growing days,
The dew that used to fall,
The music of the birds that sang
We're well remembered all;
And loves young dream that passed away
At shutdown of one summers day.
But words of greeting at the gate
Came DER the window sill;
Aunt Prudence drew the shutters close,
The night air seemed so chill.
Then in the Swallowed room, her tears
Fell like the rain of bygone years.
"AIl as God Wills" she softly sang,
ITO give or to withhold"
While at the farmhouse gate, she knew,
The tale of love was told.
And later, with a face so bright,
Doris came in, and said: Goo night"
