If the new Excise Commissioners 90 wrong
they cannot plead ignorance of their duties.
The Society for the Prevention of Crime,
through the Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby, is out
with an open letter to them plainly declaring
what the people of this city expect of them. In
the first place, it is made clear that simply be-
cause a man asks for license there is no
reason why it should be granted. Not only
ought the character of the applicant to be con-
sidered, but the number Of drinking places in
the neghbcrhood should have great weight in
the Boards decision. No mandamus can force
them to grant a license, and if disorderly places
are legalized the Commissioners are
alone to blame. Moreover, as there is now 10
New-Yor one drinking place for every $50 of
the city's adult population no one would be
likely to suffer from thirst even il the new

The busy public is fast forgetting the Third
ave. strike and its contemporary boycOtts. But
the men " ho. participated in those affairs have
not forgotten them, nor are they likely soon to
do so. Another of the foreigners who boy
cotted THESIS place in Fourteenth-sf., and
made him pay a 81 900 fine for managing his
own business in his own way, was convicted
yesterday on the charge of extOrting money.
He at least has not forgotten the Thesis incl
dent nor have the other men who were as
ISOLATED with him in that unlucky business,
and who will be tried on a similar charge
speedily. Neither has the driver Casey, who
assaulted a non-union driver on Thrd-ave.
car, lost all recollection of his performance.
He was sentenced to six months in the peni-
Tertiary yesterday. SOFT goes, and at this rate
1t will soon be generally admitted in this sty at
least, that no man may interfere with another
mans right TO work.

In the yacht race ran Ctf Marbehead yester-
day the Puritan won, the Priscilla being second
and the Mayfiower third. The conditions were
favorable to the Puritan and she showed her
old excellence in beating to the wndward. 1t
is the natural opinion in Boston that the May
flower should have come in second. Undoubt-
eddy she should have done sc but unluckily
she didn't As in the last race here, ten days
ago, this boat seems to have been badly
handled. So far it looks as if the Puritan
would be the yacht to meet the Galatea. Yet
the trial races here this fall must he sailed, aud
they may change the relative positions of the
boats.

In view of the fact that the fiscal year ends
to-day, the House yesterday bestirred itself and
passed some of the appropriation bills to keep
the Cover nment running-among them the
Army, the Pension, the Agricultural and the
Postal Appropriation bills. No great changes
were made in them, except that the Senate
agreed not to insist upon the $500, 900 item to
pay American steamship companies for carry
ing the foreign mails. As the Democratic ma
jority were obstinate ard evidently intended to
listen neither to reason nor persuasion, there
was perhaps no other course for the Senate to
adopt The responsibility for defeating this
effort to promote the Nations prosperity by ex-
tending its commerce rests clearly upon the
Democrats. 1t is a heavy price to pay for the
yindcation of SO "light-waisted an official as
the Postmaster General.

Archer was married in February, 1883,
to the niece of his old trainer Matthew
Dawson, Miss Nellie Rose Dawson. The
wedding occurred at Newmarket, where
Archer owned Il famous hOStclry, the
Falmouth House. The wedding was
attended by many Of the nobility, and
the presents to the young couple were
OF as great value as those ordinarily
given to Prince. Mrs. Archer died in
November, 1881, while giving birth to Il
daughter: Archer grievcd greatly over
her death, and came to this country
spending three months here and mnliing
the trip across the continent. He had
never recovered from the grief caused by
the death of his wife, and remained on
the turf only because nc hoped by this
means to partially forget his loss. He
was not only the richest Jockey i'll Eng
land, but the most popular one, and had
ridden more horses, young as he was,
than any Jockey living at the time Ok his
death.

lie ShOt n CentIpcde off Ills Zoe.

\ company of immigrants had camped
IN New Mexico, and one night one Of
the party, who was sloeping on the
ground, was awakened by apeculiar SEN
Sa4lon on his toes. He looked and saw
an enormous ccntipode crawling across
hls foot. Only Il few feet from him was
the camp fire, and he could see eyery
fiber OF the reptile. Kpcmino it's pecu-
larltlos and the ctleCC of its sting, h1
was Ill fever Of excitement, Afraid To
move muscle, he dared not attempt to
shake 1T of. After q seconds pause he
reached under his head, got his pistol,
and, taking deliberate aim, fired. It was
hic-s4Vln8 shot for the man. The
ccntlpede divided and dropped on each
SIDE OF his foot. But Lere comes the
most remarkable part OF the story.
Within an hour after the shot was fired
the men heard terrible groaning from
one OF their mules tied only few yards
away. They went to them and found
one OF them with his left foreleg swollen
to an immense size. The swelling in
creased, as did the agony and groans Of
the brute, until it died in about thirty
minutes thereafter. An examination was
made, and it was discovered that the
| bullet that had severed tho centipede
! had entered lhe mules foot just above
the hoof and inOculated it with %
poison from the reptile.

Several friends met at the residence OF
james iowth, Tl2 West Congress street,
to witness some Of the very curious and
, interesting features Of his new system OF
transmission, by contact with the body
OF the speaker, through solid medium
instead OF through atmospheric i'm
pulses, as practiccd III all diaphragm in
StrumcntS. In the new SyStcm the in
strumcnt is nct,mtcd by placing button
projecting from 1t against the side of the
. Throat, the operator speaks, and the
vibrations that occur in the exterior SUR
face of the throat during the uttorancc
OF the words are conducted by tho but
ton and its stem to the electrodes, and
they being disturbed, in accordance with
the vibrations that form the muscular
word, so to speak, transmit perfectly
articulated word. Conversation is car
ricd on with facility through combined
Instruments, tho tone is much louder
and fuller than found in any Of the
diaphragm class, and it's timbrc is of Il
smoother and more solid character.
One Of its peculiar and very important
qualities is tlat it is independent Of all
accidental sounds or disturbances which
SO often interfere with the good surface
of thcin#trmcmtS Of the telephone sys-
TEN; the speaker may be surrounded by
any number Of people talking loudly,
and only his voice will be transmitted.
The lOudnCSS and clcamcss with which
speech is transmitted with these instru-
mcntS is wonderful. During the ex-
hibition Of this curious new princi-
pie tho inventor applied the button
to the top of his head and trans
nittcd speech in perfectly clear voice,
only not rs loud as in the usual way of
holding; also to the bnck OF the neck,
various parts Of the chest and other
parts Of the body, all in II good, clear
tone, every word well defined and in
tclligiblC. \ test WAS madc with IL ten
pound weight of lead, and through this,

was perfect.

The great secret of keeping apples
through the winter is to store them in a
well ventilated room or cellar that is
kept as near the freezing point as posi-
bic without actually frcczing the apples.
Apples and potatoes should never be
kept in the same cellar, or, if this is un-
avoidablc, the potatoes should be kept in
the warmcst part Of the cellar, and the
barrels of apples, we'll headed up, near
the windows, where, on days when the
air outside is only Il few degrees above
freezing, they can be treated to cold
breeze from the open windows, while, ut
the same time, the atmosphere in the
part OF the cellar where thc potatoes are
Kept does not fall below forty degrees.
With a thermometer in the cellar it i8
quite possible to cool off the applcs
without lnJuring the potatoes. DO not
unhcad barrels until the apples srs
wanted. IT is rarely Il good plan to sort
over the apples to pick out the lotlLn
ones. Better let them remain unGis-
turbcd. Apples in ripcning give Off car
Donic acid, which cannot be allowed TO
accumulate in the house cellar, but must
be removed by ventilation. This dele
tcnouS gas, carbOnic acid, aids in pre-
serving the fruit, and it is one of the
advantages of an outside cellar that this
can bG allowed to remain. n.~--Amcrican
